Actually, Yan Wushuang is not very familiar with Las Vegas, as Rafas never allowed her to go out before. However, she remembers that Lefas took her to the Rotating Restaurant for dinner once. Although there was a little incident during that visit, the food and scenery there were absolutely wonderful!
The driver brought the two of them to the restaurant, which is always very busy, often requiring a long wait for a table.
Yan Wushuang had already asked Rafas to reserve a window seat for them in advance. As soon as the restaurant manager received news that Mrs. Lei was coming, he immediately waited for her at the entrance.
Upon seeing her exit the elevator, he quickly approached with compliments: "Mrs. Lei, this way please!"
The manager recognized the woman beside Mrs. Lei and recalled having seen her somewhere before. After thinking carefully, he realized it was Princess Anna from England. With two distinguished women dining together, he knew he had to provide excellent service today.
Every move of Yan Wushuang was under Rafas's careful watch; he knew exactly what they did in the restaurant and what dishes they ordered.
As his beloved woman was with someone from the Smith Family, he naturally had to stay alert to prevent any tricks from these women!
"Thank you so much for today's lunch. I will be returning to England tomorrow afternoon. If you ever go to England, make sure to contact me so I can host you!" Anna said with a smile as she set down her knife and fork.
"No need to be polite; I'm sure there will be opportunities!" Yan Wushuang happily replied.
At two in the afternoon, the two left the restaurant together. The driver first took Anna back to the hospital before heading straight back to the castle with Yan Wushuang.
Rafas, who was still working at Monica Tower, received the report that Yan Wushuang had returned and smiled slightly, saying softly, "It's good that you're back!"
At six in the evening, Rafas finished his work and returned promptly to their castle. Yan Wushuang was playing with their two children, who were thrilled to see their daddy come home!
"I'm back, my three treasures!" He said while holding one child in each arm and leaning over to kiss Yan Wushuang on the cheek.
"Stop it! Don't be so inappropriate; there are kids here!" Yan Wushuang playfully punched him.
"What does it matter? It's just the four of us, what is there to be afraid of?" Rafas said, gently kissing each of the children's faces.
The family of four laughed joyfully in the nursery, even delaying dinner by an hour.
Just as they set down their bowls and chopsticks, the phone rang. The butler stepped forward to answer, and while Yan Wushuang was wondering who it could be, the old butler hurried over and said, "Master, Madam, something terrible has happened. The hospital just called to say that Miss Smith has died!"
Annie's hospital was one that Rafas had invested in behind the scenes, so any news would be reported to him immediately.
"How could she die? Wasn't she doing fine in the hospital?" Rafas furrowed his brow tightly.
The butler Band replied with an unusual expression, "The hospital said it was... poisoning..."
The butler's words caused Yan Wushuang to collapse against Rafas, her eyes filled with emptiness. How could she have suddenly died from poisoning when everything seemed fine in the afternoon?
As Yan Wushuang sank into deep despair, Rafas's phone suddenly rang, its sound growing louder and more insistent.
"Hello, Sharl, what's going on?" He had a feeling that this call from Sharl was related to the incident.
"You've heard about Annie Smith's poisoning, right? Just now, our contacts in the police shared some news. Annie died from poisoning, and they found poison in a chicken soup. The police determined that Annie must have consumed the poisoned soup, which her family revealed was delivered by Wushuang at noon. So now the police are targeting Wushuang and will likely come to arrest her soon!" Faisal was also shocked by the news and immediately informed him.
Rafas's expression grew increasingly serious. After hanging up, he turned to Yan Wushuang and said very solemnly, "The police found poison in the soup you delivered. They are on their way to take you back for questioning."
"What...? Lefas, I..." Yan Wushuang's face turned pale; how could things have turned out like this? She could swear she had never poisoned the soup.
Seeing her panic-stricken expression, Rafas immediately pulled her tightly into his embrace and gently reassured her: "It's okay. Go upstairs and wash your face, change into some fresh clothes. The police won't find any evidence; at most they can detain you for twelve hours. During this time, you don't need to say anything. If you haven't done anything wrong, there's nothing to fear from their investigation. I will hire the best lawyer to wait for you outside. Once the time is up, the lawyer will bring you out immediately. Without a lawyer present, you can remain silent and say nothing at all. Do you understand?"
Yan Wushuang nodded; she was innocent and had done nothing wrong—she would never admit to anything! Listening to Rafas's advice, she went back to her room to wash her face and make herself look more presentable before waiting for the police to arrive.
The ancient castle they were in was located in a remote area, and those unfamiliar with the terrain would take a long time to find it. An hour later, the police indeed arrived to look for Yan Wushuang.
Rafas tightly held her hand, urging her to remember his words: within twelve hours at most, he would ensure that the lawyer safely brought her out!
Watching Wushuang being taken away by the police, Rafas felt a surge of anger. Who dared to act against him? He would make sure that person paid dearly!
The news of Annie Smith's death spread rapidly like fragments. After forensic examination, the cause of her death was determined to be chronic poisoning. There were no signs of struggle before her death, and the scene showed no signs of a fight, proving that Annie Smith's hospital room was indeed the crime scene. Eventually, forensic involvement revealed the presence of this chronic poison in a bowl of soup, which had been delivered by Yan Wushuang just before Annie Smith died.
All unfavorable evidence pointed to Yan Wushuang! In no time, rumors spread that Monica, the current president's wife, had poisoned the former president's wife, causing a significant drop in the stocks of both Monica and Halson!
In the Holding Room, the spotlight shone directly on Yan Wushuang's overly pale face. In front of her sat a cup of steaming coffee...
Senior Inspector Blake Green stared at Yan Wushuang with a serious expression. His blue eyes glinted with scrutiny like an eagle, and his fingers rhythmically tapped on the table. After a while, he spoke directly in a strong American accent: "Mrs. Lei, what was your motive for killing Annie Smith? I believe this question shouldn't be difficult to answer."
Outside the window, dawn had already broken...
Yan Wushuang looked visibly exhausted after a night of torment. She did not respond and didn't even raise her eyes to look at Senior Inspector Blake Green.
A flicker of restraint crossed Blake Green's square face as he raised his voice: "Mrs. Lei, please cooperate with our investigation. You have remained silent for nearly two hours now; continuing like this will only waste taxpayers' money!"
Finally, Yan Wushuang lifted her gaze towards him. Her beautiful lips were slightly dry, and her voice sounded hoarse from fatigue, but it was clear she spoke with determination: "Officer, I did not kill Miss Smith!"
"Why was there poison in the soup?" The senior inspector avoided her evasion and threw out another question.
"I did not poison anyone, and I certainly would not poison the soup I delivered!" Yan Wushuang reiterated softly.
"Bang..." Senior Inspector Blake Green suddenly slammed his hand on the table, causing the coffee cup to shake and spill some coffee. "Mrs. Lei, please do not waste our time!"
"Officer! There is no reason to make such comments without solid evidence! Did you see me poison the soup with your own eyes? Or are there other witnesses who can prove that I did it? And one more thing, this soup was personally made by my family's chef, and my husband and I both drank it. Why are we not dead?" Yan Wushuang said the most repeated line since she arrived.
Senior Inspector Blake Green snorted coldly, "Don't try to play tricks with me. All criminals look for excuses to escape punishment!"
"Whether I am guilty or not is not for you to decide right now! I stand by what I said, I did not kill Miss Smith, nor did I poison the soup. If you have any further questions, please wait until my lawyer arrives; I will not answer any more questions!" Yan Wushuang glanced at the time. Before coming here, Lefas had told her to stay calm; according to the rules, her lawyer would arrive soon.
To be honest, she also wanted to know who killed Miss Smith and tried to frame her!
Senior Inspector Blake Green sneered at her words and looked at his watch. "Mrs. Lei, do you really think someone in your situation could get out so quickly? I have already issued a 24-hour detention order; you won't see your lawyer until that time has passed. So you might as well confess the details of what happened."
The spotlight cast a pale hue on Yan Wushuang's cheeks, almost devoid of color. She looked up at the officer in front of her; under the light, her amber pupils sparkled like crystal. Why was he so adamant that she was the murderer? Did this officer have a grudge against her?
"Officer, even if you interrogate me for 72 hours, it won't change anything. I did not kill Miss Smith, nor did I poison the soup. If you have already decided that I did it, then please provide evidence of my crime; otherwise, you have no right to impose a 24-hour detention order on me!" Yan Wushuang was not afraid of him; Lefas had said he would find a way to gather evidence for her.
Senior Inspector Blake Green silently stared at her, his gaze sharp and piercing. After a while, he finally spoke: "I must admit you are indeed beautiful; even a man like Rafas is captivated by you. But that means nothing to me. Since you believe you are innocent, then it doesn't matter if you stay here for another twenty hours!"
"Don't modern people value human rights? What you're doing now is violating my rights!" Yan Wushuang said coldly.
"Human rights are granted to law-abiding citizens. Do you consider yourself one?" Senior Inspector Blake Green retorted coldly.
"You..."
