"I am Officer Zhang from the police station. What is your relationship with Yan Xiao?"
"I am her sister."
Although Yan Xi was unwilling to admit it, and in terms of blood relations, Yan Xi and Yan Xiao had nothing in common, this was Kyoto after all. Yan Xiao had no acquaintances in Kyoto. Yan Xi couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"We found Yan Xiao's body. Now, please come to the police station to identify it."
Yan Xi had already prepared herself for the possibility of something bad happening, but when the police informed her that Yan Xiao was dead, she was still a little shocked.
Yan Xi tried her best to remain calm, got up, and went to the police station. When she saw Yan Xiao's body, Yan Xi's face turned extremely pale.
Yan Xi looked at the police and asked with a trembling voice, "Officer, how did she die?"
"Murder. When we arrived at the scene, she was already dead. Preliminary judgment suggests she was pushed from the window."
Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the officer's words.
She couldn't help but think of Xiang Jingchen. She wondered where Xiang Jingchen was now and if he was in any danger.
"Since you claim to be the deceased's sister, please sign here. The body will be sent to the crematorium for cremation."
Yan Xi looked at the family signature column. She never thought that the day she admitted to being Yan Xiao's sister would be under such circumstances.
Even though Yan Xi was extremely reluctant, what had happened had happened. Yan Xi could not change anything.
Yan Xi signed and left the police station. As she walked out, a light rain began to fall. Yan Xi wondered if Yan Xiao was crying in heaven.
She frowned, preparing to leave the police station.
However, Kong Ya Lan suddenly appeared. Seeing Yan Xi, without any preamble, she raised her hand to slap Yan Xi. Just as she raised her hand, she was stopped by Fu Yan Ting.
Kong Ya Lan was also from Yan City and was naturally familiar with Fu Yan Ting.
However, Kong Ya Lan looked at Yan Xi with intense hatred.
Yan Xi did not understand why.
Although Kong Ya Lan was somewhat afraid of Fu Yan Ting, the moment she thought of Yan Xiao's death, Kong Ya Lan lost her reason. She pointed at Yan Xi and cursed, "You shameless vixen! Not only did you snatch everything that belonged to my Xiao Xiao, but you also harbored murderous intent. I will not let you go. Heaven's net is vast, yet it misses nothing."
"Get it straight, Yan Xiao's death was not my doing."
Yan Xi tried hard to maintain her composure.
In the past, Yan Xi always wondered why, as Kong Ya Lan's daughter, she treated Yan Xi and Yan Xiao so differently.
Now, Yan Xi knew the answer: she was not Kong Ya Lan's biological daughter.
However, seeing Kong Ya Lan so irrationally defending Yan Xiao, Yan Xi couldn't help but think of Yao Wan Qi. If something happened to her, would Yao Wan Qi also protect her with all her might?
"Now that my daughter is dead, of course you can stand here and tell me these things righteously. Yan Xi, I will not let you go. I will definitely avenge my Xiao Xiao."
Yan Xi knew that Kong Ya Lan had lost her reason. Yan Xi did not want to argue with Kong Ya Lan and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Kong Ya Lan rushed forward, pulled out a fruit knife, and stabbed towards Yan Xi's chest.
Fu Yan Ting sensed the danger and pushed Yan Xi away. Kong Ya Lan's fruit knife plunged directly into Fu Yan Ting's chest, and blood gushed out instantly.
The duty police officers heard the commotion and rushed out. Seeing someone injured, they apprehended Kong Ya Lan.
Yan Xi was also terrified by the scene before her.
She knew that Kong Ya Lan had lost her daughter and had become so irrational.
However, Yan Xi did not expect Kong Ya Lan to carry a fruit knife with her.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting injured, she quickly called 120. Soon, an ambulance arrived at the scene.
Fu Yan Ting was sent to the operating room. Yan Xi paced anxiously outside the ward, unsure of what to do. She even dared not ask the doctor if Fu Yan Ting was out of danger.
She feared that the doctor's answer would not be what she wanted to hear.
Yan Xi paced back and forth outside the ward alone.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice footsteps approaching.
"Xi Xi, what exactly happened?"
Old Mr. Yao looked at Yan Xi and asked anxiously.
Yan Xi was stunned and explained the whole incident to Old Mr. Yao.
After listening, Old Mr. Yao sighed helplessly and said, "Xi Xi, my precious girl, it was hard enough for your maternal grandfather to find you. I don't want you to be in danger. This Fu Yan Ting, who has achieved his current position at such a young age, is not simple."
"Grandpa, what are you trying to say?"
Yan Xi could tell that Old Mr. Yao's words had a deeper meaning.
Old Mr. Yao sighed helplessly and explained, "A few days ago, Yan Xiao slept with Fu Yan Ting, but Fu Yan Ting did not want to take responsibility for Yan Xiao, so he planned to kill her. I have been secretly protecting Yan Xiao during this period, but I didn't expect that I would still be negligent and give Fu Yan Ting an opportunity to approach Yan Xiao."
Yan Xi did not believe what Old Mr. Yao said and instinctively denied it.
Old Mr. Yao seemed to have anticipated Yan Xi's reaction. He was not discouraged and sighed before trying to persuade her again. "Xi Xi, you are still too young and too naive. Fu Yan Ting says a few nice words, and you get lost. Think about it, Yan Xiao had an accident, why would Fu Yan Ting show up at the police station?"
"Let me tell you the truth. In fact, Fu Yan Ting has been staying near the police station, closely monitoring the cause of Yan Xiao's death. But you appeared, and to clear his suspicion, he deliberately appeared before you. It's just a pity that he got injured. Perhaps he has done too many bad things, and heaven can no longer tolerate it."
"I don't believe it. Fu Yan Ting is not that kind of person. He wouldn't do such a thing."
No matter what Old Mr. Yao said, Yan Xi refused to believe him. She refused to believe that Fu Yan Ting would kill Yan Xiao.
Fu Yan Ting had no reason to harm Yan Xiao.
Moreover, this was Kyoto, not Yan City. Even if Fu Yan Ting wanted to act, he wouldn't do it here.
"Xi Xi, as I said, you are too naive. Let me show you a video." Old Mr. Yao produced a video. The video showed Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xiao arguing in a hotel. Although Yan Xi was unwilling to admit it was true,
However, when Yan Xi saw the surveillance footage, her eyes widened. She looked at Old Mr. Yao and asked word by word, "How do you have this surveillance video?"
"Silly child, didn't I tell you? I've been secretly protecting Yan Xiao during this time. Although my bodyguards were not by Yan Xiao's side, the place where she stayed was still under surveillance."
