*Cough.*" The police officer coughed lightly and averted his gaze.
Ye Wanwan remained silent for a few seconds before explaining, "I haven’t offended anyone recently, at least not that I’m aware of."
"There’s a friend with whom I have an average relationship, and we often have verbal disputes, but we’ve grown up together since childhood, and over the years it has always just been fierce arguing."
"I don’t believe she would do such a thing."
"Aside from that, there’s nothing else."
The police officer took down her statement accurately and then had Ye Wanwan sign it before returning to his colleague.
By the time everything was over and she went upstairs, it was already 1 A.M.
Originally, Ye Wanwan wanted to take a bath when she first came back, but now she felt too tired and didn’t want to spend time bathing. After a bath, she lay in bed, ready to sleep.
However, strangely enough, once Ye Wanwan lay down, she no longer felt sleepy. She stared at the ceiling with the sound of running water from the bathroom in her ears, and she couldn’t help but think of He Qingyun.
At first, she hadn’t thought of He Qingyun at all because she didn’t know He Qingyun. She had been thinking of people related to her.
It was later when the police asked her if there had been any strange people around her that she suddenly thought of He Qingyun.
The only recent newcomer in her life who could be described as strange was He Qingyun.
Indeed, she didn’t know He Qingyun, but He Qingyun had some connection with Shen Yi, though it was the He Family who unilaterally wanted to develop that relationship.
All in all, she had only met He Qingyun twice, and both times she felt an incredibly eerie sensation coming from her.
Especially when He Qingyun looked at her, her eyes were gloomy and terrifying, always giving Ye Wanwan an unsettling feeling.
However, she didn’t know He Qingyun at all, with only two random encounters, so there shouldn’t be any offense taken by her.
The only connection between the two of them was Shen Yi.
So, was it because He Qingyun couldn’t marry Shen Yi as she wished, and she had become Shen Yi’s wife, that He Qingyun harbored resentment towards her?
Ye Wanwan reflected carefully on her previous life’s events. She knew Aunty He, but in her memories, there was no He Qingyun at all.
Could it be that in her previous life, He Qingyun never confessed to Shen Yi? Hence, she never appeared in their lives?
Could this be the so-called butterfly effect, where her rebirth changed everything’s trajectory?
Ye Wanwan was full of doubts.
When Shen Yi came out of the bathroom, Ye Wanwan was still lying with her bright eyes open, showing no sign of wanting to sleep.
"Why aren’t you resting?"
Ye Wanwan replied honestly, "I can’t seem to fall asleep."
Shen Yi turned off the light and lay down in bed, reaching out to pull Ye Wanwan into his arms, "Were you scared?"
"It’s not too bad." Ye Wanwan was no longer as panicked as she was at first, her thoughts now more on He Qingyun.
The two fell silent, seemingly not intending to continue the conversation.
After a while, Shen Yi suddenly said, "Wanwan, you didn’t tell the police the truth today."
Ye Wanwan was startled but didn’t speak.
Shen Yi continued, "When he asked you if there were any strange people around you, you thought of He Qingyun, but you didn’t say anything."
During the police questioning, Ye Wanwan had clearly thought of He Qingyun and even gave him a look, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
He was puzzled and didn’t understand why Ye Wanwan wouldn’t speak.
