Chapter 144 The Evidence is Irrefutable, How Can One Deny It?
The next day.
Ning Yao arrived at the hospital as promised. Hu Mingyu was waiting in the inpatient department and led Ning Yao to see Grandpa Wen.
The conversation took place not in Madam Wen's hospital room, but in a spacious and bright SVIP lounge. Not only was Grandpa Wen present, but Lian Qiran and Wen Tingxian, the second young master of the Wen family, were also there.
The moment Wen Tingxian saw Ning Yao, he raised his hand and pointed at her, saying firmly, "It's her! She's the one who climbed through the window into the ward last night to try and harm Auntie. Uncle, you have to believe me, don't let this woman get away with it, get the police to arrest her!"
To Ning Yao, this scene reminded her of a primary school student tattling on a teacher.
Ning Yao remained silent, her cold eyes fixed on Wen Tingxian as if the person Wen Tingxian was talking about had nothing to do with her.
She had long guessed that Wen Tingxian would hold a grudge against her, but she didn't expect him to use such a mad dog-like and unreasonable method to slander her.
Ning Yao felt that talking to someone like Wen Tingxian lowered her own status, but there was nothing she could do because he was the second young master of the Wen family.
Even if she doesn't respect Wen Tingxian, she still has to respect the old man.
“You were the suspect in the kidnapping of my aunt. Seeing that my aunt was being treated by a professional medical team, you were worried that she would wake up and testify against you. That was your motive for killing her, Ning Yao. I didn’t wrong you, did I?”
Wen Tingxian relentlessly interrogated Ning Yao, giving her no chance to breathe, thinking that this would catch her off guard and force her to surrender.
“The motives you mentioned are indeed reasonable.” Ning Yao raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Wen Tingxian hadn't expected Ning Yao to react this way. He had anticipated what Ning Yao would say to refute him, but she didn't play by the rules at all. She didn't utter a single rebuttal and readily admitted to everything he had said.
“Since you’ve already admitted it, I don’t need to waste my breath anymore. Just go to the police station and turn yourself in,” Wen Tingxian said, waving his hand.
"Why would I go to the police station? Having a motive doesn't mean I did it, Second Young Master, don't make false accusations." Ning Yao said with a calm smile, her expression natural, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever, and appearing utterly innocent.
“I clearly saw you climb in through the window. The hospital's surveillance cameras must have captured the video of you climbing the wall. I advise you to confess now, so that you won't be even more embarrassed when the evidence comes out.” Wen Tingxian deliberately slowed down his speech and raised his voice for the last few words, making him sound smug and sinister.
"Fine, then show me the evidence and prove my guilt." Ning Yao remained unmoved by Wen Tingxian's provocation.
"Ning Yao, Ning Yao, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Wen Tingxian was so angry with Ning Yao that he narrowed his eyes dangerously and took two steps forward to make a move, but Lian Qiran raised his arm to block him.
"Second Young Master, think carefully before you speak. Are you sure you saw someone break into the hospital ward and harm the Old Madam, and that person was Ning Yao?"
Lian Qiran had spoken to Ning Yao last night and knew that Ning Yao wouldn't have the time to go to the hospital and harm someone.
Since Ning Yao is innocent, it's clear that Wen Tingxian is making false accusations. He can't just stand by and watch Ning Yao be bullied.
“Ten minutes after the incident last night, Mingyu called me. I immediately went to Ms. Ningyao’s house and confirmed that she was there. It takes 30 to 40 minutes to drive from the hospital to her home address, even the shortest route. It couldn’t be her.”
"Hu Mingyu also checked the hospital's surveillance footage last night, and there were no abnormalities."
Ning Yao looked at Lian Qiran, and gratitude couldn't help but show in her beautiful fox-like eyes.
This second young master of the Wen family is notoriously unruly and a notorious playboy in the industry, with very problematic behavior. However, not everyone knows this. The second branch of the Wen family spent a lot of money to suppress the negative news about Wen Tingxian.
If Ning Yao hadn't happened to stumble upon Wen Tingxian harassing a maid at the Wen family's old residence, she wouldn't have known.
It's already quite remarkable that Lian Qiran chose to believe Wen Tingxian without knowing her true character.
Trusting her is one thing, but risking offending Wen Tingxian to help her is another.
No matter how incompetent Wen Tingxian is, he still has the identity of the second young master of the Wen family and is also Wen Tingye's cousin. To offend the powerful young masters of the five major families in order to protect her and make enemies for himself is not something that can bring him any good.
Wen Tingxian gave Lian Qiran a dark look, displeased that he sided with Ning Yao, and said sarcastically, "Mr. Lian, this is a private matter of our Wen family. As an outsider, you'd better not interfere."
Upon hearing Wen Tingxian's words, Lian Qiran's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she immediately shut her mouth.
Hu Mingyu was also a little embarrassed. According to Wen Tingxian's statement, he and Lian Qiran were both outsiders.
Sitting on the sofa, Old Master Wen, who was radiating a low mood, frowned in displeasure upon hearing this and began to reprimand Wen Tingxian with a stern face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Qi Ran is Ting Ye's friend, and our Wen family and the Lian family have always been on good terms. How can he be an outsider?"
Wen Tingxian dared not contradict Old Master Wen. After a moment's thought, he stopped targeting Lian Qiran and Hu Mingyu and said in a low voice, "Ning Yao, you touched my clothes last night. There must be your fingerprints on them. I have already taken them for testing."
As he spoke, Wen Tingxian glanced down at the hands of his watch, curled his lips in disdain, and slowly added a sentence.
"In a little while, the information will be sent to my email. At that time, the evidence will be irrefutable, and you won't have any room for excuses."
Wen Tingxian glanced at Ning Yao and noticed that her thick eyelashes trembled slightly after hearing his words, and her lips tightened imperceptibly. Judging from her appearance, she was probably nervous.
It has to be said that Ning Yao is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. She came today with a bare face, but she is in no way inferior to those women with heavy makeup. She exudes a pure feeling that men cannot resist.
With her innocent appearance paired with that alluring and sexy figure, just thinking about it made Wen Tingxian feel as if a fire was burning down beneath him.
Ning Yao is Wen Tingye's woman. Wen Tingye has never been interested in women over the years, but he has somehow managed to win over Ning Yao.
All of this shows that Ning Yao has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. And what else can a woman use to conquer a man besides beauty and skill in bed?
Wen Tingxian harbored a wicked plan. He thought that once Ning Yao revealed her true colors, the old man would be furious and send Ning Yao back to the police station. On the way, he could go with her and subtly hint to Ning Yao that she should come with him.
As long as Ning Yao is sensible and goes with him, it's just a charge of attempted murder. He has all the evidence, and he has plenty of ways to help Ning Yao get away with it. Even if she can't get away with it, having leverage over her and making her sleep with him for a few nights before sentencing wouldn't be bad either.
Wen Tingxian had an arrogant air about him, as if he was sure he would win, while Ning Yao remained silent, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Neither side spoke again, and after a while the situation remained deadlocked, Wen Tingxian's phone rang with a crisp ringtone.
The fingerprint identification report is out...
