Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Stay Here and Reflect
After her initial shock, Qin Youxuan gradually calmed down.

After a week of defending herself, she knew very well that no one would believe her words.

She had been pinning her hopes on the unconscious Meng Ziqi, waiting for her to regain consciousness and prove her innocence.

She never would’ve expected things to turn out this way.

Suppose Meng Ziqi died, she would still have a chance of winning the case due to the principles of presumption of innocence and insufficient evidence.

Now that Meng Ziqi was awake, with both eyewitnesses and material evidence, her charge of murder would definitely hold up in court.

Qin Youxuan’s legs gave away, and she fell to the ground, her eyes staring blankly ahead…

A shadow cast over her.

Qin Youxuan hesitated, then lifted her head.

As her gaze met the shadow before her, her body trembled.

Jin Chenye.

He had finally come.

Qin Youxuan held onto the iron bars, slowly pulling herself up from the ground. Her cat-like eyes were calm as she looked at him without uttering a word.

“Your hatred… You just can’t let it go…”

Looking into her clear eyes, Jin Chenye felt nothing but her recalcitrance and harsh resentment.

“If I say I didn’t kill anyone, would you believe me? You’ll only believe Meng Ziqi’s testimony, insisting that I injured her and pushed Jin Lan down the stairs, right?” Qin Youxuan’s voice was very soft, devoid of any anger.

“Isn’t it the case?” Jin Chenye’s gaze hardened, his tone incredulous.

“Yes, it’s me. I can’t stand Jin Lan’s success, I was scared that Meng Ziqi would come back to usurp the Qin Group’s inheritance, so I wanted to kill everyone! Are you satisfied now!” Qin Youxuan cried out hysterically, her eyes desperate as she looked into Jin Chenye’s.

He never understood that if she truly had no conscience, she would have retaliated against Jin Lan when he kidnapped her. She wouldn’t have ended up here, unable to defend herself against false accusations.

“It seems I came for nothing today. You should stay here and reflect on your actions.” Jin Chenye turned his handsome figure around, ready to leave.

“Reflect… I should reflect…” Reflect on her poor choice in men and her failure to make better judgments.

Clearly, Meng Ziqi wanted to kill with a borrowed knife. Besides her, there was no one else who could compete for Jin Chenye.

Now that Jin Lan was in a vegetative state, and Jin Chenye believes that she was the one who did it, they could never be together again.

What a painstaking effort…

Qin Youxuan laughed bitterly. Her beautiful face was left with nothing but coldness.

As she watched Jin Chenye gradually disappearing form, her hands clenched into tight fists.

Meanwhile in the USA, Chicago.

Yao hurriedly pushed the door to the conference room, quickly moved in and stopped next to Dan Hanjie, whispering something into his ear.

At this, Dan Hanjie’s gaze changed and he rose from his seat at the conference table.

“Smith, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to continue our discussion about the partnership another day. I have an urgent matter to attend to and must leave immediately.”

“OK, I’ll be waiting for the news from Mr. Jie.” Smith extended his hand in friendship.

Dan Hanjie shook it, promptly let it go, grabbed his suit jacket and walked out of the conference room.

“What happened?” He asked with a cold, angry tone.

“I just received a message from our country, Miss Qin was taken into criminal custody for murder. She is currently not allowed to have visitors, and according to the current evidence and Meng Ziqi’s testimony, it’s likely the charge against Miss Qin will be upheld.” Yao, struggling to match Hanjie’s pace, relayed the information he just received.

“Murder… get someone to investigate and find out what exactly happened.”

Dan Hanjie paused and his alluring eyes flashed, “Arrange for a private jet. We’re heading back.”
