Yan Xia covered her ears tightly. This feeling was so painful.
"I didn't choose to save her..."
Fang Jiangyi wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, Yan Xia just wanted to pour out her heart and tell him the reason behind the matter.
"After it happened, they took me to the rooftop and left me with Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue thought it was me who had her kidnapped and humiliated because that person said Jiang Yue was one of the murderers who killed Mengfan."
There were too many details and too much she wanted to express. She couldn't explain clearly and was a bit incoherent because of the panic.
Fang Jiangyi reached out and pulled her hands down, looking straight into her eyes. "Calm down. It's okay. The matter is over. It's not your fault."
Yan Xia had chosen him without hesitation between him and Jiang Yue. Even though it was not certain whether the bomb on his car was real or not, he should have been lucky.
At least he had a place in Yan Xia's heart.
But he would rather not have this kind of choice that brought her a sense of guilt.
Yan Xia was shivering all over. After finally calming down her emotions, she thought for a while and said, "Jiang Yue always thought it was me who had her raped. She probably won't let this go easily this time."
"Since you didn't do it, just explain everything clearly. Leave the rest to the police." Fang Jiangyi was still in shock. He was really scared out of his wits during the time when he received the text message but couldn't get in touch with her.
"Yan Xia, you can't come to such a place on your own in the future. If the target of the person today was you instead of Jiang Yue, have you ever thought about what your fate would be?"
Yan Xia knew that her actions this time were indeed reckless. Seeing Jiang Yue's experience sent a chill down her spine.
Although Jiang Yue was guilty, she didn't deserve such a fate.
"I'm sorry." She apologized. "That person claimed to be an emissary of justice and said he knew everything about that year. I thought he was like me, just trying to seek justice and the truth."
Yan Xia suddenly remembered his words.
"The bomb on your car..."
Fang Jiangyi couldn't help laughing and crying. "How could there be a bomb on my car? He deliberately said that to deceive you. Do you know who that person is? What did his voice sound like? Do you have any clues about him?"
Thinking along his words, Yan Xia realized that she had no clues at all. The phone number of that person was an invalid number, and his voice during the call was also modified by a voice changer. He only said that he was a bystander of that incident back then and didn't reveal any other information to her.
"I don't know who he is, but when I was locked in that room, I saw a relationship chart on the writing board in the room. It had the names of you, Lu Qianzhou, and many other people on it."
Yan Xia took out her phone and showed the relationship chart to him.
Fang Jiangyi's face darkened as soon as he saw the relationship chart.
This chart almost included the names of all the people involved in that incident back then and clearly marked their relationships.
He began to recall the people who had escaped punishment in that incident. Who had the reason to do such a thing? And why did he target Yan Xia? What was his purpose?
Thinking about his recent experiences, Fang Jiangyi felt that the situation was very bad. Especially Yan Xia seemed to have become the target of that person. That person had been leading her into his trap step by step. The incident tonight was a case in point.
"Do you know all the people on this chart?" Yan Xia asked.
Fang Jiangyi discreetly deleted the photo. "I know some of them, but not all."
Yan Xia snatched the phone back. "Why did you delete the photo? I didn't back it up."
She was determined to find out the truth from this relationship chart. Since she couldn't rely on others to know what happened that year, she could only rely on herself.
"The more you know, the more dangerous it is. You've already been targeted. Stop meddling in this matter. Otherwise, what happened to Jiang Yue today might happen to you. Yan Xia, you have to listen to advice. You can't keep being so reckless." Fang Jiangyi was very serious.
Knowing that it would probably be difficult to reach an agreement with him for the time being, Yan Xia didn't say anything more and let him drive her back.
After a long and tiring night, she finally lay down on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.
The events of today flashed through her mind like a movie playing in reverse. She didn't know what had come over her at that time. She had clearly said that she would never be sad about Mengfan's death again, but at that moment, she seemed to be possessed. She didn't want to care about anything and just wanted to ask why.
That person... was really good at manipulating their emotions.
This feeling of being out of control was like missing a step when going downstairs. It was empty and made her feel very insecure.
That night, the news that Jiang Yue had been hospitalized spread throughout the whole social circle. But in order to protect Jiang Yue's reputation, both the hospital and the people around her unanimously announced that Jiang Yue had been injured in a robbery and kept silent about the real situation.
Early the next morning, the police came to the Cheng family villa. They said that Jiang Yue had reported the case and specifically named Yan Xia as the one who had her kidnapped. So the police came to take Yan Xia back for investigation.
Yan Xia had a clear conscience and obediently cooperated with the police to go for the investigation.
Lu Qianzhou was on a business trip abroad. Hearing this news, he almost flew back overnight.
At the police station, Yan Xia told the police all the information she knew and all the conversations between Jiang Yue and her.
"Since Jiang Yue herself admitted that she had my daughter kidnapped and harmed, once it's confirmed, you can also hold her accountable, right?" Yan Xia's eyes were deep.
The young police officer had never seen such a complicated situation. The original victim had identified Yan Xia, but unexpectedly, Yan Xia also counter - accused that Jiang Yue was the one who had harmed her daughter.
Both of them insisted on their own statements. Although from the current situation, it seemed more like Yan Xia was just getting revenge on Jiang Yue in the same way.
But without evidence, no one could say anything casually.
The whole investigation process went very smoothly. Yan Xia cooperated very well and almost told everything she knew. So her investigation was quickly completed, but the police didn't let her leave immediately. The investigation and evidence - collection at the scene were still going on.
During the time she stayed at the police station, Fang Jiangyi and Lu Qianzhou had both urged the police to release her, but the police resisted the pressure and didn't let her go.
Then, Shangguan Yao came after hearing the news.
He greeted the colleague in charge of the case and then directly entered the interrogation room and sat opposite Yan Xia.
Shangguan Yao complained about her. "You're really brave. Are you crazy? How could you believe such a person's words?"
Yan Xia looked straight into his eyes. "I was really crazy to seek justice for Mengfan. Jiang Yue has no evidence to identify me. It's just her one - sided statement, but she did admit that she had Mengfan taken away."
"The Jiang family will probably try their best to keep you in the police station and won't let you go easily."
Yan Xia smiled. "We're so familiar with each other, and I'm still your partner. Can't you think of a way to get me out?"
