Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Explosive News_1
This world-famous golden diamond drew its final radiant arc across the sky, before quietly falling into the bay outside the plaza, sinking into the cold seawater.
A love that was forever buried, never to be reciprocated.
...
The next day, all the media were silent, no one dared to report this city-shaking event.
Who didn’t know about the power of the Jun Family? Who would dare to dig into their news?
But in reality, who in this city didn’t know about Third Young Master Jun being dumped?
After all, this marriage proposal gala had garnered city-wide attention, successfully broadcasting his passionate confession on Mars via a big screen. Not only the people of this city, but also many who had watched the live broadcast, knew about this.
Yet not many dared to discuss it, and very soon, this matter was overshadowed by another shocking event.
The elderly chairman of the Shang Group had passed away due to illness!
This explosive news, upon reaching the media, shook the entire business world.
The Shang family mansion was enveloped in heavy grief.
"Jingchen, now that the news has been announced, we should start preparing for the funeral. After all, we should let grandpa rest in peace as soon as possible." Yuan Jiayin tried to persuade Shang Jingchen.
Despite her having killed Old Sir Shang, her heart was still filled with unease. The longer the body was kept, the more likely there would be changes to the situation.
Better to cremate him as soon as possible, to destroy all traces. Who then could uncover the truth?
"I want to hear what the chief of police has to say." Shang Jingchen coldly responded.
The chief of police in charge of the case came to discuss the matter with him.
"Tell me, what are the investigation results? Is it Ye Lu? Can I accuse her of murder?" A hint of hatred burned in his eyes.
However, the chief of police said, "I’m sorry, although she is somewhat suspicious, according to the results of various investigations, there is insufficient evidence to prove that she did it."
Yuan Jiayin’s face slightly changed, her heart racing. They were unable to frame Ye Lu at the moment.
Shang Jingchen was taken aback, "What does that mean? During that time period, she was the only outsider who came in."
"True, but the problem is, according to the testimony of the caretaker who looked after Old Sir Shang, when Ye Lu came to visit Old Sir Shang, she was also there and noticed nothing unusual. Moreover, Sir Shang was fine when she went into the room after Ye Lu had left."
The chief of police took a pause before dropping another piece of information.
"The caregiver said that the time of Ye Lu’s visit did not coincide with the time when Sir Shang ran into trouble."
Yuan Jiayin couldn’t help but interrupt, "Maybe she remembered it wrong."
"No, she didn’t. She left the villa because of a phone call, which has a record. It happened at 15:20. She mentioned that Ye Lu had left before her. However, according to the forensic examination, Old Sir Shang died around 15:50. The timing doesn’t add up."
Yuan Jiayin gnashed her teeth privately. How troublesome, she hadn’t considered thoroughly enough.
Shang Jingchen frowned, "But the surveillance footage does show her entering at that time, how do you explain this?"
"I think, could it be that this woman just came to check out and see if the Shang residence was empty before she took action?" Yuan Jiayin unwillingly chipped in "So as soon as she left, she had the caregiver leave immediately, then sneaked back in to commit the crime. After all, she was living here and had the keys to the gate."
The chief of police replied, "This explanation is simply a conjecture with no factual basis."
Shang Jingchen wore a grave expression, "So, there are no other pieces of evidence proving it was her?"
"At least for now, there isn’t enough evidence to charge her."
