A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 250 - The Rumors Flew

The next day, in the police office.

“Call me if there’s anything.” Lu Boyan repeatedly reminded Su Jianan. To cooperate with the police’s investigation, he had to send Su Jianan to the police office in the early morning.

Su Jianan finally knew that Lu Boyan could also repeat himself again and again, so she nodded heavily. “I know.”

Shen Yuechuan coughed and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’ve arranged everything.”

In other words, even if Su Jianan was held as a suspect in the police office, no one would be hard on her.

Lu Boyan finally felt relieved and left. Once he walked out of the door of the police office, a barrage of reporters swarmed toward him, throwing the same old harsh questions at him.

Lu Boyan didn’t say a word and his handsome face looked so cold that people dared to approach him at all. However, the reporters were not afraid and kept asking how Lu Boyan would handle this and face it in the future.

Even when he got into the car, the photographers still didn’t give up and snapped many pictures of the car that was driving away.

The reporters were quick and immediately took out their phones to call. “Lu Boyan has been in the police office the entire night. It sounds like nothing, but it’s at least some kind of progress. Publish this first!”

More and more people had been watching the news about Su Jianan’s involvement in the murder case. Thus, when the news broke out, another round of criticism emerged on the Internet.

More and more people started to mention Han Ruoxi: When Su Jianan is detained, it’s the best time for her to steal Lu Boyan back…

Han Ruoxi stopped posting on Weibo.

It would degrade her status as a rising star if she commented on Su Jianan’s involvement in the murder at this time. Moreover, she would avoid meeting Lu Boyan during this time. If she slipped between Lu Boyan and Su Jianan at this time, she was foolish.

However, Han Ruoxi’s staying silent couldn’t stop the people from attacking Su Jianan online. The so-called eye-popping inside stories of Su Jianan were spreading all over the Internet. Everyone said that if Su Jianan was convicted, Lu Boyan would divorce her, and now Su Jianan must have broken down.

In fact, Su Jianan stayed calm.

When she received further investigation, lie detection, and cooperated to obtain evidence, she stayed calm all the time. Moreover, she was in a good state of mind and thought clearly, which made it convenient for the police’s investigation.

Between all the routine investigation, Captain Yan managed to ask if she knew the reaction to her on the Internet, she smilingly nodded. “I’ve read those posts.”

“In fact, we can hold a press conference to clarify that you’re still a suspect, not convicted yet,” said Captain Yan, “At least it can stop the rumors online for a little while.”

“No need.” Su Jianan said, “With that kind of energy to deal with the netizens, you might as well focus on the case. Captain, I want to read Su Yuanyuan’s autopsy report. Can you help me?”

She wanted to know that before Su Yuanyuan died, what on earth had happened to her. Maybe she could find a clue in the report.

Captain Yan nodded and led Su Jianan to an old medical examiner in the office. Soon, they had an answer.

“She had used drugs before she died and had been in an abnormal mental and physical state. What killed her was loss of blood.” The old medical examiner handed the report to Su Jianan and added, “And, we didn’t find why you suddenly blacked out. Shaokai suspected that you’d accidentally exhaled something, but we’d teste the air, and it turned out to be normal. When you walked into the room, did you notice any strange smell?”

Su Jianan recalled and shook her head. “No, I didn’t.”

When Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai first worked here, the old medical examiner taught them. He knew Su Jianan and thus knew she was a very keen observer. If there was any strange smell, she wouldn’t have ignored it.

“The autopsy report can’t prove you innocent.” The old medical examiner sighed. “Now, the most important thing is to find the bunch of junkies you mentioned.”

However, they didn’t find a single one of them in the room that day.

The old house was not equipped with a surveillance system and there was no security camera nearby. Thus, the police could only start with Su Yuanyuan’s call logs and social circle, but in vain.

As if Su Jianan had made that up.

Therefore, another rumor flew in the office: To get away with murder, she’d been misleading the entire investigation.

After a whole day, the investigation was leading them nowhere, and Captain Yan asked Su Jianan to return to the hospital.

It wasn’t convenient for Lu Boyan to pick up Su Jianan, so she left at the back door of the office in a police car. At the entrance of the hospital, she got off and walked toward the inpatient unit through a green garden.

Until seeing Jiang Xueli did Su Jianan realize something she had forgotten—Su Hongyuan was here. “When Jiang Xueli comes to visit Su Hongyuan, she’ll see me, then… everyone will know I’m in the hospital.”

It was too late to avoid her. With her eyes widened, Jiang Xueli already dashed over. “Su Jianan! Why are you here? You’re a murder suspect, and you should be locked in the police office right now!”

Two policemen responsible for watching Su Jianan feared that Jiang Xueli might hurt Su Jianan in the heat of pa.s.sion. They came forward to stop Jiang Xueli. “Mrs. Jiang, please calm down. Miss Su is here for medical examinations.”

“Then you can find an excuse to linger here long?” Jiang Xueli looked menacing and was making threatening gestures as if she could eat Su Jianan alive. “You’re taking advantage of the loopholes in the law! And I’m going to call the media!”

First, the policemen wanted to stop Jiang Xueli, but right now, she was nearly a lioness out of control and would bite whatever was in her way. “Try me! Try laying a finger on me! I’ll file s.e.xual hara.s.sment right away. And I won’t give up even if the police refuse me. I’ll keep filing complaints until you lose your job!”

Su Jianan knew that Jiang Xueli was a woman of her word, so she signaled at the two policemen to stop. “Never mind.”

Anyway, she couldn’t hide from the media for long. Reporters were all so sophisticated that they would sniff something soon and seek her out in the hospital.

Jiang Xueli sneered and someone had just picked up the phone. Therefore, in a loud voice, she told them that Su Jianan had pretended ill to hide in the hospital and they should all come here.

In fear of a bad effect on the hospital’s daily management, no sooner did she return her ward than she called Lu Boyan. Then, Lu Boyan told her. “Stay there and wait for me.”

Lu Boyan sent more bodyguards to the hospital, and they almost arrived at the same time with the media. They managed to block the reporters outside the hospital gate and through all the cameras, Lu Boyan rushed to the ward at his fast pace.

Standing beside the ward windows, Su Jianan slightly pulled the curtains and was looking outside the hospital gate. She could see the reporters were restless and Jiang Xueli was excited.

Lu Boyan walked over and closed the curtains. “Don’t mind them.”

“Not such a good sight, really.” Su Jianan pretended relaxed and twisted around to face Lu Boyan. “Why are you here so early? Shouldn’t you be busy today?”

Before Lu Boyan had the time to answer, noise burst out outside the room in the hospital hallway.

“Mrs. Jiang, please, listen to us. You’ll affect other patients in the room.” A nurse was trying to persuade her while being nice.

“I don’t care!” Jiang Xueli was screaming out loud, regardless of anything. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll turn all the rooms upside down to find her! I’ll find Su Jianan, that murderer!”

“Mrs. Jiang!” The nurse sounded anxious now. “Can you be responsible if you affect the other patients?”

“Responsible for what? Who will I affect? I’m just looking for a patient here!” Jiang Xueli snorted. “Kid, if you know what’s good for you, you’d better tell me which room Su Jianan is in! I’ll skin that girl myself!”

Su Jianan was about to stride out of the room when Lu Boyan dragged her. “I’ll go.”

She smiled. “Su Yuanyuan is gone, and Su Enterprise is on the verge of bankruptcy. Jiang Xueli isn’t afraid of anything right now. Now, she only wants me dead and nothing else. You can’t handle her.”

Then, Su Jianan stormed out of the ward. Then, seeing Su Jianan, Jiang Xueli finally quieted down. Sneering, she walked toward Su Jianan. “I was right. You’re hiding in the hospital. Su Jianan, you have to pay with your life!” She raised her hand and was going to slap hard on Su Jianan’s face—

Before Jiang Xueli’s hand fell, Su Jianan stopped her halfway and clutched Jiang Xueli’s hand. “I didn’t do anything to Su Yuanyuan. You’re looking for the wrong person if you’re seeking revenge for her.”

“How dare you deny it!” While she was struggling in Su Jianan’s hand, Jiang Xueli’s eyes grew red with hatred and tears streamed down her face. “Su Jianan, I won’t let you off! I won’t let you off even if I die!” Gritting her teeth, every word she spat contained enormous hatred.

Su Jianan knew what it felt like to lose a loved one. Therefore, she couldn’t say anything harsh in front of Jiang Xueli’s tears. “Before I pa.s.sed out, Su Yuanyuan had been fine. I don’t know what happened after that either, and the policeman in charge of the case will tell you after the investigation.”

“The police? They’re all on your side! Otherwise, how would they help you hide in the hospital? And, how will you still look fine right now?” Suddenly, Jiang Xueli burst into tears and collapsed in front of Su Jianan. “Su Jianan, give my daughter back to me, give my Yuanyuan back to me…”

Su Jianan’s fingers moved, however, in the end, she didn’t help Jiang Xueli up from the ground. Finally, Lu Boyan signaled the two policemen to pick Jiang Xueli up and escorted her downstairs.

The nurses heaved a sigh of relief and were about leave when Su Jianan stopped them and asked hesitantly, “Do you know which room Mr. Su, Su Hongyuan, is in?”

“Room 708.”

Lu Boyan walked over. “You’ll visit him downstairs.”

Su Jianan nodded. “Yes. There’s something I need to tell him.”

“I’ll go with you.” Lu Boyan held Su Jianan’s hand and walked her downstairs.

Seeing Su Jianan, Jiang Xueli became excited again. It was Su Hongyuan who finally stopped her.

Su Hongyuan seemed to age more than a decade overnight and the way he looked at Su Jianan wasn’t as fierce as before. “What do you want?”

“I didn’t kill Su Yuanyuan.” Su Jianan didn’t bother to explain further and just told the fact. “I really didn’t like Su Yuanyuan, but I never wanted her dead.”

Su Hongyuan closed his eyes and sounded desperate in a harsh voice as if he had lost the last thing he owned. “I know.”

Su Jianan didn’t continue. She clenched Lu Boyan’s hand quietly and dragged him to leave.

Behind her, Jiang Xueli was screaming. “What do you know? You actually believe she is innocent? She had that knife that killed Yuanyuan. She must have pretended to pa.s.s out!”

Su Hongyuan didn’t say a word.

Though he didn’t have that connection between father and daughter with Su Jianan, his blood ran in Su Jianan’s body. He had watched Su Jianan grow and knew that she was not a fundamentally cruel person.
