Chapter 977 - She Was Questioned at the Police Station (1/2)

Han Xue was brought to the police station and two experienced police officers sat across her. One of the police officers was tasked with questioning her while the other was in charge of taking minutes.

Han Xue kept telling herself over and over again not to be nervous or afraid as she tried her best to tamp down her fear but she couldn’t stop her fingers from shaking and a layer of cold sweat had formed on her palms.

“Madam Ye, we’d like to ask you some questions and we hope that you’ll be able to cooperate fully with us,” the police officer said politely and even brewed a cup of tea for her.

Han Xue took a deep breath.

“Feel free to ask me anything,” she said.

“What kind of person did Wang Lan seem to you?” The police officer started off calmly. Then, he looked at Han Xue and watched for any changes in her expression.

Han Xue bit her lips and turned away. She thought for a moment before she finally said, “She has been with the Ye family for a while so she works fast and is a hard worker. She has never made any major mistakes. I hardly had any problems with her and besides, it hasn’t been long since I married into the Ye family, so I’m not too familiar with her. I can’t comment much about her character.”

Han Xue said gravely. She was extremely careful with her words because she knew that the more she said, she more likely she was to slip up. She tried her best not to badmouth Wang Lan as well.

“Oh…” the police officer’s eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

“Do you know anything about her financial status?” the police officer asked.

Han Xue froze. Her face turned even whiter under the lamplight and her hands balled subconsciously into fists.

She blinked and finally said after a lengthy pause, “I’m not sure because I’m not in charge of managing the maids. I only occasionally ask them to perform certain chores.”
