Chapter 217: I’m Afraid You Might Not Be Able to Leave

If it weren’t for his insistent return home and his unrelenting attachment to Qin Youxuan, his mother wouldn’t have ended up in a vegetative state.

Falling in love with his own sister, he indeed deserved divine retribution.

A week passed.

Qin Youxuan was confined in a dark cell every day, waiting for her trial.

Qin Mo tried to bail her out, but a murder charge could not be bailable.

He visited her in jail once, but said nothing, only looked at her with a fixed gaze and then left.

Presumably, he must have already accepted the fact that she had lost her ethics, to the point of contemplating murder to compete for the inheritance of the Qin Group.

Jin Chenye did not show up even once. Instead, the people from the Meng family kept causing a disturbance at the police station, demanding an early trial for this murderer.

A murderer…

She was clearly the victim, but no one believed her.

Even the lawyer persuaded her to admit guilt, suggesting that she attempt to reduce the murder charge to manslaughter in order to possibly win the case.

She refused, insisting that she was the victim, and the lawyer walked out on her.

No one was willing to stake their reputation on a case with no chance of winning.

“I heard that Miss Meng woke up…”

“Is it true? If Miss Meng wakes up, I suppose this case won’t even need to go to court…”

From a distance, the conversation between some jail guards reached Qin Youxuan. Startled, her body jolted on the hard bed, “What did you say? Meng Ziqi woke up? Is she really awake?”

“Of course, it’s true. The police have sent someone to record her statement as soon as possible. The results will be out shortly.”

“That’s great…” Qin Youxuan’s eyes moistened slightly. As soon as Meng Ziqi woke up, the police would believe that the one who hurt people wasn’t her; she was the true victim.

She would not have to stay in this dark place any longer.

“He’s back, hurry up and ask what happened.” Spotting the returning shift supervisor, a police officer quickly approached him.

With the simultaneous troubles of the Qin and Meng families and the newly appointed inheritor of the Qin Group, Qin Youxuan, becoming a murderer, the media attention was incessant, pressuring the police significantly.

Everyone was eager to close the case as soon as possible, to give an explanation to the public.

But Qin Youxuan insisted that she had not committed murder, and the police couldn’t pronounce a verdict either. But now that Meng Ziqi had woken up, the key witness combined with evidence could reconstruct the crime scene.

“Did Ziqi wake up? Has she explained everything? I didn’t murder anyone, when can I leave?” Qin Youxuan clutched the iron bars, pounding them loud enough to make a sound.

She hadn’t murdered anyone.

She hadn’t murdered anyone.

Finally, there will be someone who believes that she hadn’t murdered anyone.

Qin Youxuan was almost moved to tears of joy.

“Miss Qin, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.” The officer in charge of recording statements looked up, his eyes landed on the emotionally charged Qin Youxuan, and he responded coldly.

“What do you mean?”

Meng Ziqi woke up, she should know best who harmed others, why can’t she clear her name?

“Miss Meng personally identified you as the murderer. You were stopped by her when you attempted to murder your stepmother, so instead, you stabbed her and pushed Jin Lan down the stairs. The police are currently compiling evidence and will soon officially bring you to trial.”

Murderer?

Attempted murder?

“You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t!”

“Miss Qin, don’t get excited. Whether or not you did it is not up to you or me to decide. Once in court, all the evidence will be presented, and you won’t be able to deny it.” The officer responded courteously enough.

“Keep an eye on her, and don’t mess up.”

Something was wrong. What was it?
