Chapter 417 Chi Xuecan is in trouble
Chapter 417 Chi Xuecan is in trouble
Yan Zuozuo turned around and saw Snowden standing there. A number of doctors and nurses had appeared, and they quickly lifted Fisher into the car. She hurried over, grabbed Fisher's hand, and choked out, "Fisher, listen to me, I won't let you die. If you dare leave, I'll hate you for the rest of my life!"
"Get in the car first, we can talk in the car," the doctor said.
Yan Zuozuo nodded and immediately jumped into the car. Fisher heard her words and moved his lips, "Zuozuo... I'm sorry..."
Yan Zuozuo quickly understood what he meant, gripped his hand tightly, and said firmly, "Fischer, you've wronged me. You haven't repaid the mistakes you made for me by working like a slave, so you absolutely cannot leave so irresponsibly. Otherwise, I will never forgive you in this life, the next life, and the life after that!"
Her tears fell like beads from a broken string as she gripped Fisher's hand tightly, refusing to let go.
Seeing that she was also injured, the doctor standing nearby said, "Mrs. Chi, you are injured too. Let me treat you."
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Don't worry about me, save him!"
She looked down at Fisher, who was covered in blood, and suddenly shivered. It was obvious that someone was manipulating all of this, and they wanted to kill her, Yan Zuozuo!
Her pupils suddenly contracted. Who could hate her so much?
At the hospital, Fisher was quickly wheeled into the operating room. Yan Zuozuo was anxiously pacing back and forth in the corridor. Snowden, on the other hand, was very calm and composed, standing there like an unyielding mountain.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me..." Yan Zuozuo kept crying.
"Girl, do you believe in fate?" Snowden reached out and hugged her, patting her shoulder. "I didn't believe in it before, but the older you get, the more you believe. It's all fate, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"That's not how it is. If I hadn't come back, this wouldn't have happened... That's not how it is..."
Snowden shook his head, his voice tinged with the weariness of time, "If they wanted your life, they would have done it eventually, and that fool would have saved you eventually. It's just that they didn't look for you after you came back, that's all."
Yan Zuozuo blinked, looking at the calm and determined light on Snowden's face, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
The surgery was still ongoing, and Yan Zuozuo's heart was in turmoil. Snowden remained outside the operating room, completely calm in contrast to Yan Zuozuo's panic. After so many years of political upheaval, he had become quite detached from life and death, and from the trials of fate.
Life and death are preordained; that's roughly the principle.
Time passed slowly, and just then, several people in police uniforms walked over and stood directly in front of Yan Zuozuo. "I am Song Xian from the police station. Are you Ms. Yan Zuozuo?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded, a hint of confusion flashing through her mind. "Yes, that's me. May I ask what's the matter? My friend is still inside, his life hanging in the balance. Whatever it is, could you please wait a moment?"
“I’m sorry, Ms. Yan, but because you are involved in a murder case, we must take you back to the police station now,” Song Xian said sternly.
A murder?!
Yan Zuozuo looked at Song Xian in astonishment: "I don't understand what you mean?" She thought the police were coming back to take a statement about the car accident.
Song Xian's sharp gaze fell on Yan Zuozuo. "Miss Yan, you know Ms. Chi Xuecan, right?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded blankly. What does this have to do with the murder case?
"Just this morning, Ms. Chi Xuecan was murdered in her office, leaving her in a deep coma. She is currently in the hospital, and her life hangs in the balance. According to the security guard's testimony, you were the only one who entered the office at that time, so we are asking you to come back to cooperate with the investigation."
He was murdered, fell into a deep coma, and his fate is unknown...
These were clearly simple words, so why did they sound so incomprehensible to her when put together? She was trembling all over, grabbing the policeman's arm uncontrollably. "What did you say? Say it again! What happened to Can Can?"
Seeing how agitated she was, Song Xian hesitated for a moment, "Miss Yan, please come back to the police station with us."
Yan Zuozuo couldn't hear anything right now, she just kept asking, "What are you saying? Cancan was murdered and is in a deep coma? What happened? Explain yourself!"
Song Xian frowned: "Miss Yan, the case is still under investigation, but this is the information we received from the hospital. Please cooperate with us."
Yan Zuozuo staggered back a few steps, as if all her strength had been drained, and slumped into her chair.
Can Can... is her fate unknown?
How is this possible? She was perfectly fine, living such a healthy, positive, and optimistic life. How could she suddenly be in a deep coma? Who did this?!
No, that can't be! This must be an April Fool's joke! Fisher is still in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance, while Chi Xuecan is already in a deep coma. She can't accept this fact and refuses to believe it.
"How could Can Can be unconscious? You're lying to me, you liars!" Yan Zuozuo roared uncontrollably.
Seeing her like this, Song Xian hesitated for a moment before finally producing an arrest warrant. "Miss Yan, this is an arrest warrant from above. Please cooperate."
Upon seeing the arrest warrant, Yan Zuozuo collapsed, glancing at Song Xian in a daze, then at the operating room in a daze. Before she could even react, she was escorted away by the police.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Nordens didn't utter a single word, only watching with a livid expression as they took Yan Zuozuo away, his fists clenched tightly.
The bodyguard appeared at that moment: "Master, would you like to..."
Nordens raised his hand to stop him, his face ashen, his eyes flashing with barely concealed rage, as if he might explode at any moment.
He'd seen plenty of dirty tricks; these were nothing more than petty schemes. However, they only had themselves to blame for using their methods on the wrong person. His granddaughter—anyone who dared to bully her, he wouldn't let them get away with it, and he'd make them pay a thousandfold!
In the police station.
Yan Zuozuo was locked in a dark room, with Song Xian sitting opposite her, just like in the interrogation scenes on TV, except that a small light was on. During the interrogation, Song Xian took out a photo of Chi Xuecan before she lost consciousness. In the photo, Chi Xuecan looked terrible, surrounded by a mess, as if she had been in an argument with someone and finally lost consciousness.
Seeing her like this, and remembering how good she had been to her these past few days, Yan Zuozuo's tears welled up instantly. It was all her fault; it was her willful departure that had harmed Chi Xuecan.
Seeing Yan Zuozuo crying so heartbrokenly, Song Xian wasn't entirely sure if she was the murderer. But based on his years of experience solving cases, he felt it was definitely Yan Zuozuo's expression of remorse afterward, and his face immediately turned ashen. "Yan Zuozuo, according to what we know, Chi Xuecan treated you well, yet you still brutally murdered her. How can you face her?"
She did feel sorry for Chi Xuecan, but she definitely didn't do it!
Yan Zuozuo wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and said, "I also desperately want to find the murderer as soon as possible, but it was definitely not me!"
"As expected, they won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Look at this!" With that, Song Xian played the surveillance footage from the early morning. "This is the surveillance footage from the day the incident occurred. Take a close look at the time!"
Yan Zuozuo watched the surveillance footage; it showed her approaching the charity to pick up a photo and then leaving. As for the time…
"No! I went in at dawn, but I didn't stay for even 15 minutes. I left very quickly, and I didn't even see Can Can."
“But the surveillance footage shows that you stayed inside for more than an hour, and during that time, Chi Xuecan entered a charity organization.”
"No, you can't. Ask the security guard. I saw him when I went in."
“We’ve already asked, and the security guard’s statement is exactly the same as what the surveillance footage shows.”
Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened. The security guard was lying!
She frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy about the whole affair. Her mind raced, from the initial visit of Chi's mother to the plagiarism incident, and then Chi Xuecan's murder. It all seemed like a trap set up by someone, just waiting for her to fall into it. But who was it that hated her so much and wanted to kill her?
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I would never hurt Cancan. I was originally planning to leave and even left a letter in the villa. You can ask the servants at the villa. They explained it very clearly. Cancan is very good to me. How could I possibly hurt her?"
"A letter?" Song Xian stared at Yan Zuozuo for a long time. "We have already questioned the servants at the villa, and there is no letter as you mentioned."
No? Yan Zuozuo froze on the spot. The surveillance footage was wrong, the security guards were lying, and now even the villa's servants were covering up the truth...
Seeing Yan Zuozuo's drastic change in expression, Song Xian assumed she was frightened by being exposed, so he became even more stern, saying, "Even now, Yan Zuozuo, are you still unwilling to confess? If you confess now, it will be considered a surrender, and you can try to get a reduced sentence. If you insist on not confessing, once we have conclusive evidence to prove it's you, you won't even have this last chance!"
"I don't need your chance, because I didn't do it!" Yan Zuozuo gritted her teeth and said firmly, "No matter how you interrogate me, I will not confess. I am innocent! Instead of wasting your time on me, you should find the real murderer. Besides, I can tell you that there was a serious car accident on the road today. The driver's target was clearly me. Fisher is still in the emergency room, his life hanging in the balance, because he saved me. Instead of investigating, you locked me up and interrogated me. Do you have any respect for your profession? Do you have any respect for those who were hurt?"
Song Xian was rendered speechless by Yan Zuozuo's relentless questioning. He stared intently at her, and the air remained tense for a few minutes. Soon, he snapped back to reality. "Damn it," he thought, "I'm the policeman! When did a woman get the right to be so arrogant?"
He slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "We will investigate the car accident. But Yan Zuozuo, I also warn you, things will eventually come to a clear conclusion. If you insist on not pleading guilty, then you will face a severe trial!" After saying that, he gestured for everyone to leave.
Yan Zuozuo's heart was filled with a thousand emotions. She felt as if an invisible net had been cast, waiting for her to crawl into it and control her tightly until she suffocated.
The interrogation room door was closed, and the lights were turned off. It was pitch black. She sat there, handcuffed, in the eerily silent room, a wave of fear washing over her.
She was terrified, her heart was racing, and her mind was filled with thoughts of Chi Xuecan, Fisher, and the plagiarism. Even if she were stupid, she knew very well that someone wanted to kill her!
