"Arrest them, Granny, quickly arrest all of them!" Su Tianhao bellowed, seething with hatred.
"Yes, arrest them, they must be brought to justice for their cris!"
In an instant, the mbers of the Su Family Direct Lineage stared at Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue with eyes brimming with hatred as if the two were unforgivably evil and had to be punished by law.
Old Madam Su, overco with emotion, said, "Yue'er, quickly contact the Public Security Bureau!"
"Yes, Granny!"
Su Yue did not hesitate to take out her phone and imdiately contact the Public Security Bureau.
Beep beep! Beep beep!
Less than ten minutes passed when a wail of sirens was heard outside the Su Family Ancestral Ho as n in uniform stread in one after another.
Leading them was a man in his thirties in uniform who scanned the expansive scene and said in a deep voice, "I am Captain Zhou Shuo from the Public Security Bureau in this area. You all called saying there was a poisoning here; what exactly happened?"
"Captain Zhou, they poisoned my husband!" Old Madam Su cried tearfully, pointing at Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue.
"Right, they poisoned my grandfather, Captain Zhou, quickly arrest them!" Su Tianhao seconded.
"Arrest them, they must be arrested!"
The Su Family Direct Lineage mbers clamored, eager for Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue to be imdiately subjected to the law.
Although so in the Su Family felt that sothing was not quite right, with Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, now dead and Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue at the murder scene, it was hard not to let the imagination run wild.
Captain Zhou Shuo took a look and went forward to examine Su Dongguo's condition.
Soon after, Zhou Shuo said with a grave expression, "He's indeed dead, and it looks like a case of poisoning."
As his words fell, Zhou Shuo turned to Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue, "Did you poison the man?"
"It's not us, Captain Zhou, we really didn't do it!" Su Ruoxue's face was extrely pale.
She had always loved and respected her grandfather Su Dongguo who had died right before her eyes. She was already devastated, and now, before the culprit was caught, she and Ye Fan were being treated as the murderers, which made Su Ruoxue's heart surge with mixed emotions.
"If not you, then who else? We all saw it just now! The evidence is conclusive, and there's no room for your denial!" Su Yue shouted.
Su Tianhao nodded, "That's right! It must have been you two who poisoned Grandfather!"
"Captain Zhou, we can all testify, quickly take them into custody!" shouted the many mbers of the Su Family Direct Lineage.
Su Ruoxue was so anxious that her tears were about to fall, "Captain Zhou, it really wasn't us who poisoned Grandfather, you must believe us!"
"Alright, don't each stick to your own word, calm down!" Zhou Shuo gestured with his hand.
With those words, it quickly beca much quieter inside the old house.
Zhou Shuo then turned to Su Ruoxue and asked, "You were both at the scene when Elder Master Su died, right? Did he say anything before he died?"
"Yes! Grandfather told us to leave quickly before he passed away!" Su Ruoxue replied truthfully. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
Old Madam Su scoffed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must have been you two who poisoned my husband, and just as you were attempting to flee, you were caught red-handed by us!"
"Old Madam Su, may I ask, what would our motive be to poison Elder Master?"
Suddenly, Ye Fan, who had been silent all this while, spoke up, leaving Old Madam Su at a loss for words.
"A motive for the cri?" Old Madam Su's face stiffened.
Su Tianhao gave a cold laugh, "Do you need a motive to kill soone? Captain Zhou, you might not be aware, but two days ago, my grandfather was critically ill. Thankfully, he survived the ordeal by a narrow margin! Before leaving, Ye Fan specifically prescribed so dicine for my grandfather, which we trusted and followed to prepare the dicine!"
"It wasn't until later that we discovered Ye Fan doesn't even have a dical license. It must have been his prescription that poisoned my grandfather!"
"Exactly, Captain Zhou, that's exactly what happened!" Old Madam Su said anxiously.
Before Elder Master Su was poisoned, Old Madam Su had never considered the motive for a cri, but now with Su Tianhao's forceful explanation, everything seed to make sense.
While this only targeted Ye Fan, if he were to be found guilty, Su Ruoxue would inevitably be implicated as well.
If that were the case, for Su Ruoxue to still aspire to beco the head of the Su Family would be nothing short of a pipe dream.
Captain Zhou looked at Ye Fan with surprise, "Did you prescribe the dicine for Elder Master Su?"
"Indeed, I did!" Ye Fan did not deny it.
Following that, Ye Fan looked at Su Tianhao with a cold eye, "Why did you only ntion that I prescribed the dicine just now? Why not also ntion that I was the one who saved the elder?"
"That has nothing to do with you saving soone! Besides, I don't think grandfather was saved by you, but that he ca around on his own!" Su Tianhao argued illogically.
He vividly rembered, at the ti, several elders of the Su Family constantly spoke of the humiliating stories from Su Dongguo's youth, making him wake up out of sheer frustration.
In Su Tianhao's eyes, the reason why Elder Master Su could regain consciousness was entirely due to his strong will, and had nothing to do with Ye Fan.
Old Lady Su nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Zhou, Tianhao is right. My partner wasn't saved by him; instead, he almost killed him. Please quickly take him into custody!"
"Old lady, don't be too agitated. I already have a rough understanding of the situation," Zhou Shuo whispered.
The next mont, Zhou Shuo looked at Ye Fan, "The cause of Elder Master Su's death is complex, and currently, you are the pri suspect. Please co back with us to assist in the investigation!"
"I'm the pri suspect? That's utterly ridiculous!" Ye Fan's face was ice-cold.
Su Tianhao said fiercely, "Yes, it is utterly ridiculous, you are not the pri suspect, you are the murderer who poisoned my grandfather!"
"I warn you not to try to resist! Otherwise, we will take special asures!" Zhou Shuo said coldly.
Ye Fan scoffed, "What if I don't cooperate?"
"Don't cooperate?"
At those words, Zhou Shuo snorted coldly, "Do you know how severe the consequences of resisting arrest are? Not to ntion the consequences you will face for resisting arrest, your wife and even your children will be implicated because of your resistance! Can you bear that consequence?"
Hearing Zhou Shuo's words, Ye Fan's face darkened as though it were about to start dripping with water.
If it were just him at the scene, Ye Fan would not take Zhou Shuo and the others seriously at all, but unfortunately, Su Ruoxue was also there.
To protect Su Ruoxue, Ye Fan knew he could not afford a single impulsive move.
"Fine, very well, I will cooperate with your investigation, but this matter has nothing to do with my wife Su Ruoxue. I hope you won't trouble her!" Ye Fan said gravely.
Zhou Shuo nodded, "Rest assured, currently you are the main suspect. Miss Su will just need to co with us to make a statent and then she can go back ho!"
"Fine!" Ye Fan suppressed the rage in his heart.
He knew that he and Su Ruoxue had been calculated against by soone in the shadows, but for the mont, he could not determine who the mastermind was.
All he could do now was to wait and see, confident that the true culprit would soon reveal themselves. Even if he were to be detained, Ye Fan was sure he could root out the real villain.
Seeing that Ye Fan was no longer resistant, Zhou Shuo suddenly gestured, "Take him away, imdiately detain this guy for !"
