Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Your Ex-Wife_1
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Shang family’s mansion, the place was in complete disarray, bustling with police officers and forensic scientists constantly moving in and out.
The Vice President was taken aback, sensing something was tragically amiss. Upon inquiring, he was startled out of his wits.
"Old Chairman is dead?"
The sensational news of Old Sir Shang’s death was suppressed, forbidden to be leaked out. It was rumored that Old Sir Shang’s death was not natural, but a murder.
An investigation is currently underway.
Inside the villa, Madam Shang had fainted, and Shang Jingchen was kneeling beside the bed, looking dazed and disheveled, clutching the now ice-cold hand of Old Sir Shang. In just one day, he looked so haggard it was beyond belief.
His eyes were bloodshot and tearless, and his hand, gripping the Old Sir’s, was trembling incessantly.
His heart was filled with limitless grief and towering anger.
His grandfather was dead, and his death was horribly cruel.
Who could be so merciless as to not even spare an elderly sick man, to strike such a deadly blow?
"Jingchen, don’t grieve anymore. If Old Sir Shang knew how much you’re suffering, he would be upset too." Yuan Jiayin’s voice choked with emotion as she comforted Shang Jingchen.
However, she dared not approach the bed because the dead, unseeing eyes of Old Sir Shang were too eerie. It felt as if he was glaring at her whenever she drew near, making her tremble.
"Jingchen, close your grandfather’s eyes. It’s unsettling to see them open like this."
Shang Jingchen’s anger surged, and his fists clenched in agony, "Grandfather died with eyes wide open, indicating he died unjustly. He must be glaring at his killer. That damn murderer, who is utterly heartless. Once I find them, I will surely tear them to pieces and make them regret being born."
Yuan Jiayin trembled, taking a step back.
The detective, who had been investigating the scene, walked in. Shang Jingchen got up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, teeth clenched, asking, "Did you find any leads? Who did it?"
The detective said solemnly, "There’s no conclusive evidence yet, but on the basis of some clues found so far, one person appears to be highly suspicious."
"Who?"
"Your ex-wife, Miss Ye Lu!"
Shang Jingchen’s body trembled, his pupils dilated in surprise, his face incredulous, his voice shaky, "What did you say? My grandfather was killed by her? I don’t believe it."
"We’re not sure at the moment. An investigation is still ongoing. She is only a suspect. According to the surveillance footage from your home, it caught her visiting, and the timing aligns closely with the time of Old Sir Shang’s death."
Shang Jingchen’s face turned as white as a sheet. He staggered back a few steps and nearly fell to the ground.
His heart was a mix of shock and pain. How could it be her?
Was it just a coincidence that his grandfather died shortly after her visit?
His blood rushed to his head, anger and grief overwhelming him. He roared like a beast gone mad, clutching his head and howling, "Ye Lu, Ye Lu, it was you..."
Seeing his fierce expression, even Yuan Jiayin felt a chill course through her.
But thankfully, even the police hadn’t found anything conclusive. It was great, now all the suspicion was directed at Ye Lu.
"Jingchen, you mustn’t act rashly. I know you’re in pain. But the evidence isn’t sufficient yet, we mustn’t alert her prematurely. Besides, she still has the protection of Third Young Master Jun. We must be patient and plan for the long term." She thought, it was currently not a good idea to target Ye Lu. If they provoked a man like Third Young Master Jun, it would be troublesome.
"How dare she hurt my grandfather, I will never let her off... " Shang Jingchen’s bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred.
