Chapter 983: Should We Continue Our Investigations?

He Xiyan felt like she was in a dream. She had not been expecting to be able to obtain custody of Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi without a tough legal battle. When the judge read the final verdict, she sank her face into her hands and burst into tears because she was so overcome with emotion.

“Sis…” Shu Man said as she patted her sister’s shoulders. “Don’t cry…” a smile danced on Shu Man’s lips and she felt happy for her sister winning custody of her children.

He Xiyan bit her lip and broke into a smile. She was crying tears of joy.

On the other hand, Mo Yixuan and Ye Hao both left the dock without exchanging a single word.

Ye Hao immediately left the court while Mo Yixuan lingered outside the doorway after he left the court.

His silhouette seemed extremely long under the sunlight which made him seem very lonely.

He watched as his wife walked out of the court and noticed the happy smile and tears on her face.

He didn’t remember when he last saw her smiling so happily.

Most of Yan Yan’s anguish and pain over the past few years had originated because of him, so he felt a little relieved now that he saw how happy she was upon winning custody of her children.

He only hoped that Yan Yan wouldn’t hate him as much as she did before now that she had obtained custody of Yuan Yuan, and he longed for Yan Yan to give him another chance, just one chance would do, and he would work hard to give her the family she yearned for.

Ye Hao drove off toward the police station and he had been informed on a short notice that his presence was required.

He was ushered into an office upon his arrival where the head of the investigation unit, Officer Liu was waiting for him.

Ye Hao knew that he had been asked to go over to the police station because of w.a.n.g Lan, a maid who had spent four years working for the Ye family and who had gone missing 20 days ago.

Everyone in the castle had been questioned by the police over the past 20 days, including himself.

“Please take a seat, Mr. Ye,” Officer Liu gestured for Ye Hao to sit and handed him a cup of tea.

Ye Hao sat across Officer Liu. He was on rather familiar terms with Officer Liu because he had been in charge of Yan Yan’s case when she had gone missing three years ago.

“Mr. Ye, I’ve invited you here today because I’d like to bring a matter to your attention,” Officer Liu said as he handed over the report that collated their findings.

Ye Hao flipped through the report one page at a time and noticed that this report contained statements from more than a dozen people including himself and Yan Yan.

As he browsed through the report, he suddenly frowned when he noticed Han Xue’s statement and looked at Officer Liu in confusion because he saw that the page containing Han Xue’s statement was circled in red as well as several statements that she made.

Officer Liu sipped at his tea before he said, “Mr. Ye, we have summoned your wife Han Xue for questioning and we found some of her responses suspicious. We think that she is lying and suspect that she might be related to this case. However, we haven’t found any concrete evidence at the moment. These are all speculations, so I wanted to know if you…”

Officer Liu probed subtly. He was deciding if investigations should continue over this matter now that Mr. Ye’s wife could potentially be implicated…

Ye Hao’s face turned pale and he frowned as his grip tightened around the report.

He stared at the words that have been circled in red and read through Han Xue’s responses twice before he finally asked, “Did she really wire 2.2 million dollars to w.a.n.g Lan?”
