Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: Original Sin (2)

Su Hongxing’s mind went blank with a “bang,” and her hand holding the phone became slightly unsteady.

Seeing that Su Hongxing had not responded for a while, the police said “hello” twice.

As if awakening from a dream, Su Hongxing told herself to stay calm. Her voice hoarse, she asked, “How are you sure it was Ding Ye who had an accident?”

She could not believe that Ye Qilan would be in trouble; he had clearly told her that he would take good care of himself.

The police officer reported a set of license plate numbers and then added, “This number is Mr. Ding’s license plate, right?”

Su Hongxing didn’t know how she hung up the phone. She always felt that Ye Qilan would be fine, but that was indeed the car Ye Qilan used the most at Jufeng Group.

As she was in a daze, her phone rang again.

When she saw the caller ID, her heart raced.

“Wife, it’s me!” As Ye Qilan’s voice sounded, Su Hongxing couldn’t stop her tears.

Hearing Su Hongxing sobbing, Ye Qilan immediately panicked, “It’s my fault, I should have told you earlier. Wife, don’t cry, I’m coming back right now…”

Su Hongxing wiped her tears, “No, go on with your work. I just got too excited; it’s nothing serious.”

She always believed in him, without doubt or hesitation. All she feared was that slight possibility.

Ye Qilan felt as if Su Hongxing gently squeezed his heart; it didn’t hurt, but it was ticklish.

“Because Du Qingyu insisted not just once that I should come to the Imperial Capital tonight, I thought maybe there was a surprise waiting for me. Just in case, soon after I got into the car, I switched to another one. I’ve now safely arrived in the Imperial Capital and seeing the accident on the news, I specifically called to tell you, I’m fine, nothing happened,” Ye Qilan explained roughly the sequence of events.

“It seems like the chairman of Hongkang Group is very questionable,” Su Hongxing said coldly, “Du Qingyu is also in collusion, right?”

Otherwise, why did Du Qingyu suddenly give up Jiangyin Group and choose Hongkang Group?

Thereafter, Du Qingyu rose swiftly in rank. This time, Du Qingyu lured Ye Qilan to the Imperial Capital under the guise of a collaboration between the two companies, only to stage an accident on the way.

If Ye Qilan hadn’t seen through their scheme early, wouldn’t it have cost him his life?

“This woman, Du Qingyu, is ambitious and ruthless. Whatever evil thing she does, I wouldn’t be surprised,” Ye Qilan added.

Ye Qilan hit the nail on the head for Su Hongxing, “I’ve suspected that your father’s death was no accident. Could she have been behind it?”

After all, at that time, ‘Ye Qilan’ was ‘dead,’ the Ye Family had fallen, Ye Yanhong seemed to have no more value. But then again, Du Qingyu is young and beautiful; how could she ever be content spending her life tied to the old lecher Ye Yanhong?

She had always felt Ye Yanhong’s death was unusual; now that the signs were becoming clear, she felt more convinced that Ye Yanhong’s death, giving Du Qingyu her freedom, could precisely be Du Qingyu’s motive for killing Ye Yanhong.

“I don’t care about these affairs. But since Du Qingyu has dared to scheme against me, naturally, I will find a way to repay her.” Ye Qilan said, changing the topic: “Wife, it’s getting late, you should go to sleep. I have already handled the car accident, you don’t need to intervene. I can’t come back tonight, but I will return to Taicheng by tomorrow at the latest.”

“Okay, I’m going to sleep, good night.” Su Hongxing only reluctantly hung up after hearing Ye Qilan say good night.
