Chapter 1559: He Pressed Her Against His Chest

Ye Qing’s expression darkened and he quickly called the bodyguard who was protecting Gu Meng.

The bodyguard replied, “Miss Gu didn’t let us contact you. She has been walking alone for a long time and is now on Zhulin Road.”

Ye Qing did not hang up but took his car keys and left the office hurriedly.

Along the way, the bodyguards reported Gu Meng’s whereabouts to Ye Qing.

Half an hour later, Ye Qing saw Gu Meng.

She had her arms wrapped around her chest and was walking on the road with her eyes blank and her face pale.

She felt a little lost.

Ye Qing pushed open the car door, his tall figure approaching her quickly.

Gu Meng was about to walk forward when a tall figure suddenly blocked her way.

Raising her long eyelashes, the man’s cold and handsome face was reflected in her blurry eyes.

Ye Qing stared at her slightly red and swollen eyes. Reaching out his long arms, he pulled her into his arms.

She bumped into his firm chest and felt his fresh and charming aura. She felt a lump in her throat and raised her hands to hug him back.

“Gu Jiao is dead. She died in front of me. Her eyes, nose, and mouth were bleeding...”

Ye Qing held the back of Gu Meng’s head, his lips by her ear as he said hoarsely, “I’m here,. You don’t be afraid of anything.”

“She was poisoned to death. I’m thinking if she died because of me...”

Recently, she had been troubled by one thing after another. Her father was still lying on the hospital bed and now, Gu Jiao was dead. Would the people around her be affected next?

A trace of coldness flashed past Ye Qing’s dark eyes. He pursed his lips and his arms around Gu Meng tightened.

He could imagine the kind of fear and panic she had experienced when she saw Gu Jiao die in front of her, bleeding from all her orifices.

No matter how much she disliked Gu Jiao, she was still her younger sister, the family she had grown up with.

At the same time, he was extremely afraid. Gu Jiao had been poisoned to death. If she had been poisoned, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Xiaomeng, listen to me. Before finding the President’s wife’s motive to deal with you, don’t leave the palace for the time being. I’ll arrange for a good caretaker for your father.”

Gu Meng nodded and her pale lips opened, wanting to say something. Before she could say anything, a police car stopped beside them.

Several police officers got out of the car and the captain was stunned when he saw Ye Qing holding Gu Meng in his arms. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Your Highness.”

Gu Meng’s heart thumped when she saw several policemen coming over.

There was an ominous feeling throughout her body.

Feeling Gu Meng’s nervousness, Ye Qing tightened his hold on the back of her head and pressed her against his chest, saying softly, “Don’t be afraid.”

The captain said cautiously, “Your Highness, my surname is Zhu. There’s a case that involves Miss Gu, who is in your arms. We would like to invite her back to assist us in our investigation.”

Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. His strong aura was so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated. “Are you talking about Gu Jiao’s case?”

Captain Zhu nodded. “The forensic doctor has found out that Gu Jiao was poisoned to death because she ate the porridge Miss Gu brought over. The forensics department also found the same poison in the porridge. It’s a rare poison on the market and its toxicity is even stronger than arsenic!”

“We only found Miss Gu’s fingerprints on the thermos container that contained the porridge. Only Miss Gu and the deceased’s fingerprints were found on the bowl and spoon.”

Ye Qing’s dark eyes were cold and his expression was extremely cold. “It wasn’t her. Someone put poison into the porridge and framed her!”

Captain Zhu shook his head. “Your Highness, we thought of this possibility as well. However, we checked the surveillance cameras in the corridor of the ward. From the moment Gu Jiao entered the ward to her death, only a few minutes had passed. Before she entered the ward, there were only Father Gu and Miss Gu in the ward.”

“The VIP wards of the Royal Hospital are all installed with anti-theft windows. There were no signs of damage to the anti-theft windows, so no one entered the ward to poison the porridge.”

Captain Zhu looked at Gu Meng, who was being held in Ye Qing’s arms. “Miss Gu, if you didn’t poison her, then from the time you brought the porridge to the hospital, did you bump into anyone or did the porridge box ever leave your hands?”

Gu Meng looked up from Ye Qing’s arms. Although she was very afraid, the police only acted based on evidence. If she could not provide evidence that she had not poisoned the food, the police would have reason to suspect her.

She thought about it carefully. From the moment she had received the call that Mr Gu had woken up, she had personally cooked porridge, washed the food boxes, and packed them properly before going to the hospital. It had only passed through her hands.

There had been no abnormalities, nor had the flask been swapped.

Gu Meng bit her lip, her heart sinking.

If Gu Jiao had not poisoned herself to death, she really could not explain where the poison had come from and who had done it?

Gu Meng looked at Captain Zhu. “It never left my hand and no one swapped it, but I didn’t poison it.”

She was telling the truth, but the truth sounded a little ridiculous.

The police were particular about evidence and she could not prove that she was innocent.

The other party’s methods were too brilliant!

At least, they could not find any loopholes for now.

Captain Zhu took out his arrest warrant and forced himself to face Ye Qing’s dark eyes. “Your Highness, I’m just doing my job. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Ye Qing’s expression darkened and was about to put pressure on Captain Zhu when Gu Meng struggled out of Ye Qing’s arms. Looking at the two of them who were in a deadlock, she did not want to make things difficult for Captain Zhu. “I’ll go back to the police station with you.”

Ye Qing grabbed Gu Meng’s hand, his eyes sharp. “You’re not the murderer. Why are you going back? Get in the car first. I’ll send you back to the palace later. Let’s see who dares to come to my palace to arrest people!”

Captain Zhu’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. The leaders of the police force had already been alerted of the case. The leaders had also asked the Queen for instructions. The Queen’s intention was to do things in a fair manner. It was neither biased nor unjust.

Gu Meng glanced at Captain Zhu and said calmly, “Give me two minutes. I want to speak to His Highness alone.”

Captain Zhu looked at Gu Meng’s bright and clear eyes and nodded. “I’ll wait for you in the police car.”

When only Gu Meng and Ye Qing were left on the quiet road, Gu Meng met with his deep eyes. “I’ll go back with Captain Zhu to be interrogated first. I didn’t poison her, but I can’t think of how the poison got into the porridge. Captain Zhu and the rest are only following the rules. From the looks of it now, I’m indeed the most suspicious!”

Ye Qing pursed his lips tightly. “I’ll go to the police station with you.”

Seeing his gaze that did not allow for rejection, Gu Meng felt a lump in her throat. Her chest that had been hurt to the core by him two years ago felt warm again.
