"First, she is your ex-wife, and Yan Wushuang is now your current wife; I don't need to explain this, do I? Second, Annie is the youngest daughter of the Smith Family. Although the Smith Family has fallen on hard times, her sister is still a princess of the British Royal Family, and her mother, brother, and sister are still directors of the Halsen Group. Regardless, she still holds a certain status and will definitely attract public attention! Third, you have seen for yourself why the media was able to learn about this incident in such a short time. Today's news is all unfavorable for Monica and Mrs. Lei, and you should understand better than I do how Monica and the recently revitalized Halson are faring in the stock market this morning!"
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri analyzed every detail of this situation, noticing that Yan Wushuang was trembling all over. Who could hate them so much?
"Annie Smith drank the soup sent by Mrs. Lei in front of her family shortly before she died from poisoning. Of course, Mrs. Lei cannot escape blame; the police will definitely pursue her relentlessly!"
"I don't think the police would be foolish enough to believe that someone would commit such an obvious crime, right? If Shuang'er really wanted to harm that woman, she could have just asked me to do it instead of poisoning her own soup so blatantly!" Rafas added.
"Moreover, the evidence is also unfavorable because this type of poison is a chronic toxin!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri shook his head lightly.
"What does it matter if it's a chronic toxin?"
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri shrugged: "This chronic toxin is peculiar; it is colorless and odorless. Most importantly, it requires another type of food to take full effect. In other words, if it were just in the soup alone, Annie Smith wouldn't have been poisoned at all."
"What needs to be combined for it to take effect?" Rafas asked curiously.
"Soy milk!"
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri said word by word: "Soy milk contains inhibitors, saponins, and exogenous agglutinins—substances harmful to the human body. If that cup of soy milk was not cooked properly before being consumed, these toxins would mix with the chronic poison in Annie's body, leading directly to poisoning and death!"
Rafas frowned: "So that means... the person who poisoned her understands the principles of food compatibility very well."
"Exactly! Moreover, based on my earlier analysis, the murderer must have tampered with something in the hospital; otherwise, how could Annie Smith have ended up drinking a cup of uncooked soy milk and subsequently dying from poisoning?" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri stated confidently.
"How did that cup of soy milk end up there? It couldn't have just appeared in that woman's hospital room." The more Rafas thought about it, the more he felt there were numerous points of suspicion. What exactly was going on?
"The origin of the soy milk is also a mystery. We checked all surveillance footage from that day but found no suspicious activity. Neither Annie's mother nor sister bought soy milk for her. If we could figure this out, it would be a significant breakthrough!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri gathered all the information together; this case was quite tricky and presented him with a real challenge.
"It seems that they have orchestrated everything flawlessly to pin the blame for poisoning that wretched woman on Shuang'er! How infuriating..." After cursing angrily, Rafas fell into deep thought.
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri suddenly smiled, his gaze sliding ambiguously from Rafas's thoughtful cheek.
Rafas glanced at him but said nothing, gently holding the sleeping Yan Wushuang in his arms.
"Your Shuang'er really looks exhausted. Being interrogated by Blake Green for twelve hours must have been tough on her!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri said with a hint of teasing.
Yan Wushuang had been carefully listening to their analysis, but she was too tired. After last night's events, she couldn't relax for a moment and had been on high alert.
Now that Rafas was there to protect her, she felt her defenses drop and peacefully fell asleep against him.
Her long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her fair face, her breathing even and steady. Rafas's facial features softened unconsciously as he gently pulled her down completely, her small head resting on his thigh.
"It's impossible not to be scared the first time something like this happens!" Rafas murmured with pure concern, his long fingers lightly caressing her pale cheek, the warmth of his fingertips contrasting with the coldness of her lips.
"Lefas, you've changed..." Aisin Gioro Yao Ri's voice was calm yet affirming, his sharp and deep gaze fixed on Rafas's overly soft facial lines.
The long fingers resting on Yan Wushuang's face paused slightly. Rafas looked up, meeting his gaze. Slowly, he replied, "I don't understand what you mean!"
"When did women become important in your eyes?" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri asked pointedly.
Rafas shot him a glare and replied somewhat unhappily, "She is not an ordinary woman!"
Upon hearing this, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri was completely convinced: "Alright, I understand. She is not an ordinary woman; she is your most beloved woman, Rafas!"
Rafas's eyes lingered on the sleeping Yan Wushuang for a long time before he said softly, "Aisin Gioro Yao Ri, Shuang'er is like you; she is a descendant of the Royal Family. But unlike you, who is a descendant of the Qing Dynasty royal family, she is the most cherished princess of the last king of the Great Yan Kingdom!"
Listening to this, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri was at a loss for words. He searched his mind for information about the Great Yan Kingdom. Was he joking to this extent? The Great Yan Kingdom had been gone for over a thousand years; surely that joke was too far-fetched?
"Lefas, we are old acquaintances; can't you come up with another joke? Over a thousand years? If your Shuang'er really came from the Great Yan Kingdom, then the woman sleeping on your lap should be a corpse that has been asleep for a thousand years!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri shot back with another pointed remark.
Rafas lit a cigar and suddenly looked at him very seriously. "When have I ever joked with you?"
His serious demeanor startled Aisin Gioro Yao Ri. Reflecting on the years he had known Lefas, he realized that Rafas never joked with him, but the way he spoke was so strange that he couldn't find a reason to believe him!
"I was watching her from afar in my club and thought she looked a lot like Selena, so I bought her without hesitation. And she kept referring to herself as 'this palace' and claimed to be the Princess of Yan. It was both amusing and infuriating; how dare a woman call herself that in front of me and even say she wanted to execute me? What a ridiculous joke!" As he reminisced, Rafas unconsciously glanced at her.
"How can you be sure she is the princess from A Thousand Years Ago? I can't believe that!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri felt that what he said was true.
Rafas exhaled smoke, his face showing surprise. "Once, she ran away to the top of a mountain. The moon was full and bright that night. When I reached the summit, I was stunned by what I saw."
"Stop beating around the bush and get to the point!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri became increasingly interested.
Seeing his eager expression, Rafas suddenly paused, extinguished his cigar, picked up his coat, and looked ready to leave.
"Hey... Lefas, you’re not going to stop talking just when it gets interesting, are you?" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri was caught off guard by this sudden change.
"My princess has already been through a whole night of turmoil; you saw how tired she is. I need to take her home to rest. Once you discover new clues, I'll tell you what happened next!" Rafas carefully picked up Yan Wushuang in a horizontal embrace.
Yan Wushuang was far too exhausted; she changed her position, draping her arms around Rafas's neck and resting her head against him, still lost in her dreams!
After nearly ten hours of deep sleep, Yan Wushuang gradually woke up. Looking around her familiar surroundings gave her a sense of security enveloping her.
The bedroom was very quiet; she was the only one lying on the large bed. Where had Lefas gone?
She got up, put on her shoes, and went downstairs. After searching around, she still couldn't find him anywhere. Checking the time, it was already evening; she thought he might be in his study!
Yan Wushuang gently walked to the children's room. Maya mentioned that they had been crying all night, likely wanting their mommy. She also told her that last night, it was the master who stayed with the two children while they slept, and this morning before dawn, he hurried out.
Seeing the two children still sweetly asleep, Yan Wushuang kissed each of them and gently touched their adorable little faces before quietly closing the door to let them sleep peacefully.
Standing in front of the study door, Yan Wushuang gently knocked. "Lefas, are you inside?"
Rafas had been sitting in the study for several hours. Upon hearing the knock, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door. When he opened it, Yan Wushuang's slender figure stood outside, her eyes looking at him. The next moment, she threw herself into his arms.
"Lefas..." Holding her tightly, Rafas vaguely sensed that something seemed off about her today.
"What's wrong? You don't seem like your usual self," he said as he embraced her and sat down on the sofa, gently playing with her smooth hair.
"I'm sorry. It's all because I didn't listen to you that things turned out this way," Yan Wushuang said, burying her face in his chest with guilt.
Rafas tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer. Given what had happened, not only Wushuang but even he himself hadn't anticipated it. If the Smith Family was behind this, then they would rather sacrifice their own than show mercy.
Resting his chin on the top of her head, he comforted her softly, "It's okay. I'm here for you. Aisin Gioro Yao Ri is the best at handling cases like this. Don't worry too much; even if the sky falls, I'll be here to support you!"
Yan Wushuang felt like the happiest person in the world, having such a man to protect her, pamper her, and love her. With the adorable Dragon and Phoenix Twins by her side to encourage and support her, even if she couldn't escape this situation, she had no regrets...
In Japan...
The news about Monica Group's president's wife Yan Wushuang being suspected of murdering former president's wife Annie Smith was making headlines across major news outlets and magazines. Such a significant event had certainly reached Yamamoto Ryuichi.
Who could be so cruel as to frame Wushuang for murder? Having known Wushuang for so many years, he understood what kind of person she was better than anyone else. She wouldn't even dare to harm a chicken; now claiming that she plotted to murder a living person was utterly absurd.
