After ending the call, Jian Junjie walked over with a somewhat grim expression and asked a few questions before leaving. After leaving the Ji Family Manor, Jian Junjie looked back at the luxurious villa, his eyes shaded with gloom. The phone call he just received had informed him that a solution of tubular arrow poison alkaloid was found in Bai Xiangxiang’s bedroom, and the most crucial piece of evidence was now in hand. However, there were still doubts about the tubular arrow poison alkaloid itself. Why hadn’t it been found during the first search, but was discovered the second time? Could someone have intentionally led them to it? That was also a very real possibility. He still found Ji Yunya to be the most suspicious. He trusted his instincts; Ji Yunya’s behavior was too perfect, so perfect that it felt fake. Secondly, she spoke carefully, with clear logical thinking, showing none of the nervousness one would have facing a prosecutor. Of course, one could attribute this to good psychological resilience, but for someone her age to possess such composure was in itself highly suspect. "Get me an investigation on this Ji Yunya as soon as possible," he instructed his staff while getting into his car. The staff member hesitated before saying, "Prosecutor, are we mistaken? How could Ji Yunya possibly be the murderer? She recently saved an elderly person during a typhoon and is highly regarded nationwide. How could someone like that be a murderer?" Jian Junjie gave him a sharp look, and the warning in his eyes made the staff member immediately bow his head. "As an investigator, I only look at evidence. What kind of reputation she has and what kind of person she is irrelevant," he stated. "Yes," the staff member replied, ashamed, bowing his head. Yet, deep down, he still couldn’t believe it. He would believe a sow could climb a tree before he could believe Ji Yunya was capable of murder. "Miss...." Aunt Li, looking at Yun Ya, who had been silently sitting on the sofa, cautiously approached. She always found such a quiet miss a bit frightening. Why would people from the Prosecutor’s Office come looking for her, especially from the Capital City, to investigate a murder case? Aunt Li had heard a few things – the prosecutor even suspected the miss of murder, which was utterly ludicrous. How could the miss possibly commit murder... A thought struck her, and she silent, bowing her head. "I’m fine," Yun Ya said with a gentle smile. She then walked upstairs. Back in her room, she called Bai Ran, "Jian Junjie just came to see me." Bai Ran was silent for a moment: "I’ve done as you said. This morning, people from the Prosecutor’s Office came to search our house again." Yun Ya curled her lips: "Aunt Bai, the Prosecutor’s Office came knocking, and within less than half a day, the news will spread, and my reputation will suffer. Tell me, how should this be compensated?" The person she murdered is now accusing others with such audacity, Bai Ran grumbled in her heart, but she didn’t dare say anything, "What do you suggest we do?" "I’ve heard that your Xiguo Angel Foundation is doing quite well, and you’ve managed to clean up your image through it. Indeed, charity work is a good way to seek a favorable reputation." Bai Ran frowned: "What are you planning to do?" "I’d like to make use of your foundation for a bit." "Your reputation is already good enough; you don’t need to do this." Bai Ran had put so much effort into making the foundation what it was today, well-regarded within the industry and greatly benefiting her own reputation. Yun Ya curled her lips: "It’s simply gilding the lily, to reach higher. Why wouldn’t I? Besides, I won’t let your efforts go to waste; trust me...." Bai Ran gritted her teeth: "All right then. I set up this foundation for Xi’er, to accumulate blessings for him. If it weren’t for the fact that I wronged you this time, I would never let you touch my foundation." "Blessings are not something you can just accumulate. What’s destined will be, no matter what." "I’ll contact you if there’s anything else. Goodbye." Bai Ran, holding her phone, thought it over and over again. The best course of action seemed to be to approach Ning Zijin once more to see if she could speak with Jian Junjie and get him to stop bothering Yun Ya. But she had already troubled Ning Zijin once, and no matter what, she couldn’t bring herself to ask again. She really wanted to slap herself; it was a classic case of "a loss begets foolishness." She was practically asking for trouble. What was she thinking getting involved in the first place? It was just a ten-year sentence. By provoking Ji Yunya, she deserved what was coming. She should sit in prison for ten years to reflect on her actions, to prevent causing more harm once released. Bai Ran truly regretted her past actions. Ning Qinglin noticed her distress and asked what was wrong. Bai Ran talked about the situation with Jian Junjie, omitting some of the factual truths, only mentioning that Jian Junjie was now on Yun Ya’s case, causing her great trouble. "I truly didn’t expect Xiangxiang to be the murderer. I can’t continue to make mistakes. She needs to learn her lesson, but Yun Ya has been wronged this time...." She didn’t dare say too much, especially regarding Yun Ya’s affairs. Ning Qinglin had a good impression of Yun Ya and laughed upon hearing this: "How could he think Yun Ya is the murderer? That’s just...." Ridiculous. That was everyone’s general consensus. "Don’t worry, an upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. Let him investigate; let’s see what he can find out." Bai Ran, however, was somewhat worried. After all, Yun Ya really did commit murder, and with Jian Junjie being so capable, trouble would arise if he found out anything. "Can you talk to Zijin again? It’s my fault Yun Ya is in this mess; she shouldn’t have to suffer such an undeserved misfortune, not even suspicion. You know her reputation is at its peak. If any unsavory rumors start spreading...." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel✦fire.net Ning Qinglin nodded: "You have a point. I’ll make a call right now." At this moment, Ning Zijin and Ye Feng had just gotten off the plane.
