Chapter 27 - Saving Her from Prison (2/2)
Because of Xiao Ye’s testimony, it reduced Chi Yaoxi’s motive for murder. The police finally relented.
“Can we pay the bail now?” Xiao Ye asked anxiously.
“There are still some relevant procedures to complete. It won’t be that fast.”
Upon hearing this news, Chi Yaoxi’s nervous and uneasy heart relaxed a little. There was finally a glimmer of hope.
Looking at the busy Xiao Ye, Chi Yaoxi felt a deep sense of relief. It was a good thing she had such a good friend who supported her wholeheartedly.
At the same time, the police officers who went to the scene of the accident also sent news. They went to the crime scene to collect evidence again and found the place where the dead female celebrity fell into the water. They found an unknown shoe print, which was completely different from Chi Yaoxi’s high heels.
After the matter was investigated and the truth was out, Chi Yaoxi could be released in the afternoon after all the procedures were completed.
After walking out of the detention center’s gate, Chi Yaoxi was enlightened suddenly. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. The warm sun slanted down. The weather was wonderful. It was wonderful to be free.
Not far away, Chi Yaoxi saw Xiao Ye leaning in front of the car, arms crossed, waiting for her with a smile in his eyes.
Chi Yaoxi looked around again. Her happy expression instantly turned a little lonely. Li Qianming and the little guy didn’t come. Perhaps they did not know that she could be released at this time.
Chi Yaoxi didn’t say anything. She adjusted her mood, a grateful smile on her face as she walked towards Xiao Ye.
“How is it? You must be scared out of your wits after such a huge shock.” Xiao Ye said half-jokingly as he turned to help Chi Yaoxi open the passenger seat door.
“That’s right. At first, I thought it was just a misunderstanding. Then, I lost my freedom in the detention center. I was really worried. Fortunately, I had a good friend like you to help me escape. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.”
Listening to Xiao Ye’s hearty laughter, Chi Yaoxi was just about to sit in the car when she discovered an exquisite large box on the seat.
Xiao Ye nudged his lips at her and said, “Open it and see if you like it. It’s a gift for you.”
Chi Yaoxi opened the box happily and saw a cute little bear! How warm. Why did it feel like she was being pampered?
“So cute! Little bear! And it’s pink! I love it!” Chi Yaoxi was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth. She hugged the little bear in her arms and couldn’t bear to let go.
Seeing her happy expression, Xiao Ye’s lips curled up into a smile. Indeed, the books were right. No matter how capable and domineering a woman was, she still had the heart of a young girl.
Chi Yaoxi turned around and looked at Xiao Ye who was focused on driving. She couldn’t help but sigh. “Xiao Ye, you’re such a heartwarming man. Any woman who marries you will be so happy that they won’t be able to sleep.”
Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chi Yaoxi, and replied, “That depends on what that woman thinks.”
“Alright, stop pretending in front of me.” Chi Yaoxi suddenly reached out and patted Xiao Ye’s shoulder, saying with a smile, “You’re tall and handsome, have a successful career, and have a good temper. Not to mention outside, even in the company, there will be many beauties rushing to throw themselves at
you!”
Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly and smiled. “That’s their business. It has nothing to do with me. I have a goddess in my heart. Other women are nothing to me.”
Chi Yaoxi was too familiar with Xiao Ye and had heard him joking around too many times. She didn’t think much of it, only curling her lips and smiling.
