653 A Million Times for You 15 (1/2)
The men stopped and allowed Yuan Mingzhu to walk in front. She wanted to escape, but there was no chance at all. She was so petrified that her legs had turned to jelly, and thus, she had no choice but to allow herself to be brought away forcefully to Wei Ni Estate.
Once they arrived at the estate, Yuan Mingzhu constantly wondered why Jin Qingyan had sent his men to bring her to him. Could it be that he had found out that I was the culprit behind his mother's death?
She could not help but feel terrified at the thought of that possibility.
Pangs of panic engulfed her.
She was afraid that Jin Qingyan would punish her physically.
At the same time, she tried to curb her fear and get a grip on her emotions by reassuring herself that there was no way Jin Qingyan could put the blame on her since he did not have any proof of her being the culprit.
She constantly tried to convince herself that everything would be fine, so as to calm herself down slowly.
The car drove toward the entrance of Jin Qingyan's mansion and gradually pulled over.
Fan Shixin opened the door and stood outside the car. ”Ms. Yuan, please get out of the car,” he said to Yuan Mingzhu.
Yuan Mingzhu jumped out of the car and questioned haughtily, ”Just what did you call me here for? I still have to go to work. Are you going to be responsible if I'm late?”
”You'll know the reason when you go in.” Fan Shixin led the way while Yuan Mingzhu followed him.
The temperature was drastically different in the living room.
It was freezing cold outside.
As soon as Yuan Mingzhu entered, she was greeted with the sight of Jin Qingyan standing in a corner, giving her the chills.
She stepped forward, pinching her fingers.
”Young Sir, she's here.”
Jin Qingyan turned around and glared at Yuan Mingzhu coldly while remaining silent. The menacing look in his eyes was daunting enough to make Yuan Mingzhu lose her composure and be consumed by her anxiety.
”Mr. Jin, did you call me here just to stare at me?” she spoke up.
”Of course not. I just have a few questions for you, Officer Yuan. Please answer me truthfully,” Jin Qingyan said politely in an austere tone.
”Go ahead and ask.”
”When did you get to know Xu Youran personally?”
Yuan Mingzhu's eyelid began to twitch as she answered solemnly, ”A long time ago. What's wrong?”
”How long exactly?” he questioned further.
”A few months. What are you asking this for?” Yuan Mingzhu answered.
”You've known each other for mere months, and yet, she's already gifted you with an expensive apartment as well as a few million dollars. May I ask, what have you done to deserve such a handsome reward?”
”That's my personal matter. I have no obligation to divulge any details,” said Yuan Mingzhu, constantly reminding herself not to let the cat out of the bag. However, she was, in fact, so tensed up that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
”Personal matter? Ever since my mother's death, I haven't stopped investigating to find out the truth. Yuan Mingzhu, how do you think I should punish people like you?” Jin Qingyan questioned sternly.
Paralyzed by fear, Yuan Mingzhu vehemently denied, ”What rights have you got to accuse me of being in cahoots with Xu Youran? I'll admit it willingly if you can show me the evidence.”
