Watching the news report, it was said that Rafas had hired the top lawyer Aisin Gioro Yao to defend her. He believed that this matter would soon be resolved, and he really wanted to see who was behind it.
"What are you thinking so deeply about?" Misa suddenly appeared beside him and asked.
Yamamoto Ryuichi was taken aback; he didn't expect Misa to show up so suddenly. The news on the screen continued to play, and he didn't have time to turn it off, so Misa saw everything and remembered it all.
"So you were watching news about Wushuang? Who do you think did it? Could it be Wushuang?" Misa speculated, her face showing no extra expression.
Long Yi listened to her words, frowning sharply. He stood up to face Misa, his expression displeased as he firmly rebutted her: "I absolutely do not believe that Wushuang would poison anyone. From what I know of her, she is not that kind of person."
"Not that kind of person? You think you know her well, but do you know what she's thinking right now? You don't know anything! Don't say she's a million miles away from you; even if I were standing right next to you, you still wouldn't know what I'm thinking!" Misa angrily countered him. Hearing Long Yi defend Yan Wushuang made her furious.
"You..." Long Yi had never seen Misa like this before; it almost made him unrecognizable as his Misa.
Yamamoto Misa seemed to notice the way he was looking at her and quickly calmed herself down; she had indeed been too emotional just now.
The two faced off for a few seconds in silence. Misa said nothing and turned to leave his study.
Yamamoto Ryuichi watched Misa walk away, feeling that something had been off with her these past few days. A few days ago, she mentioned a class reunion and wanted to go out to relax. She had been gone for several days, only calling a few times to check on Yuan Xiu's well-being. Other than that, she hadn't said a word until she returned last night.
A vague sense of unease surrounded him regarding her. Listening to Misa's words earlier, it seemed like she knew what Wushuang was thinking? Moreover, her extreme stance seemed targeted at Wushuang. Did she know something?
Misa angrily left his study. No matter what Yan Wushuang had done wrong, Long Yi still stood by her side to help her, which infuriated her greatly!
At the same time, Yan Wushuang had not yet cleared her name and could only obediently stay at home. Rafas instructed her not to go anywhere for the next few days and just focus on taking care of the two children at home.
In Seaside Villa, Anna had originally booked a flight to leave Las Vegas yesterday. However, after having dinner with her mother, news came from the hospital that Annie had died in her hospital room!
After explaining the situation to her husband, she decided to stay in Las Vegas until the truth about Annie's death was uncovered before bringing her mother back to England.
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri and Rafas arrived at the villa together. Anna knew their purpose for coming; in fact, she didn't really believe that Wushuang was the one who poisoned anyone. If she truly wanted her sister dead, as her mother said, she could have simply not come to the villa that time and could have easily made Rafas uncomfortable without any effort—she could have just let Rafas kill Annie directly.
"Mr. Lei, if there's anything else you'd like to know, I will definitely tell you everything I know!" Anna instructed the servant to prepare tea in the living room for their esteemed guests.
"Thank you for your cooperation. I believe my wife is innocent; there is no way she would poison herself in her own soup and then personally bring it to your sister, making everyone aware that she did it!" Rafas calmly looked at the woman before him; he had considered that she might be the culprit.
"Although I haven't known Mrs. Lei for long, I can tell she is a very gentle and caring person. There is no way she could have done something so scheming. However, the evidence is right in front of us. Even if I believe she didn't poison anyone, the police have already intervened and will definitely not let this go easily!" She elegantly picked up the tea on the table and slowly savored it.
Mrs. Smith had fallen ill from being overly distressed about her daughter's situation and could only lie in bed to rest. As the eldest daughter of the Smith Family and a princess of the British Royal Family, she certainly would not act disrespectfully in front of the two distinguished men.
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri was encountering this so-called princess for the first time. From her expression, it seemed she didn't feel sad at all. Watching her drink tea, it was as if nothing had happened; she remained calm and composed.
"May I ask, Your Highness, when you left the hospital, did anything happen with Miss Smith? Also, it's important to confirm whether you bought any soy milk for Miss Smith?" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri began questioning her, persistently asking.
Anna recalled that day's events and confidently replied, "We absolutely did not buy any soy milk for her. Just before we left, Annie said she wanted a bowl of chicken soup, so my mother poured out the last bowl of chicken soup that Mrs. Lei sent over for her to drink. Annie complained that we were watching her eat and it made her lose her appetite, so she hurried us to leave. I didn't think much of it and left with my mother to have a meal. It was only when we returned to the villa that we received a call saying Annie had an accident!"
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri thought for a moment and continued questioning, "So only Miss Smith drank the chicken soup that Mrs. Lei sent? What happened to the container that held the soup after it was finished?" Suddenly, Aisin Gioro Yao Ri had a flash of inspiration.
The police reports seemed to always mention the poisoned bowl of chicken soup, but they appeared to have overlooked a key point: what contained the chicken soup? This detail seemed absent from their records.
"Annie said the soup smelled great and she loved it, especially since it was personally made by Mrs. Lei. We naturally didn't drink any ourselves. As for the container, I remember my mother had the servant wash it clean after serving the last bowl of soup so that it could be returned to Mrs. Lei next time she visited. The container should still be in the hospital room; it couldn't possibly be missing!" Anna spoke truthfully; whether or not Aisin Gioro Yao Ri believed her was up to him.
At that moment, a maid brought in a plate of fruit and immediately reacted upon hearing them discuss the container: "I'm sorry, Miss. That container is in the kitchen. That day, Madam asked me to take it for cleaning, but I mistakenly forgot about the soup that Mrs. Lei sent over and brought back just the container; it's currently in the kitchen!"
The maid's words made Aisin Gioro Yao Ri feel somewhat disappointed; he had thought perhaps the murderer took away the container to avoid leaving evidence, but it turned out that it was just an oversight by the maid.
The maid rushed into the kitchen and brought out the container while Aisin Gioro Yao Ri and Rafas continued questioning Anna, but they still found no clues!
Aisin Gioro Yao Ri took the container away for testing to see if any traces could be found...
Due to this case, Monica and Halson's stock prices plummeted. Many shareholders flocked to Monica's building in protest; Halsen Group was also affected despite Morina's presence there.
Just when everyone was feeling troubled, Morina dropped another bombshell that made Rafas furrow his brows even tighter!
"Wasn't Tony missing for quite some time? How could he be murdered?" One wave had not yet settled before another rose; each incident seemed targeted at Rafas and Yan Wushuang.
"Lefas, you need to be careful; I suspect someone has prepared thoroughly to deal with you!" Morina spoke very seriously today, unlike her usual mocking tone.
"Don't worry; I'll leave things on your side in England to you," he replied in a deep voice.
"The police haven't found any evidence against you yet, but being murdered at this critical moment is indeed suspicious; you need to stay alert!" Morina repeatedly reminded him.
"Kid, you're really annoying today," Rafas couldn't take it anymore.
"Bastard, I'm being annoying just to remind you. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you. I'm hanging up!" After saying that, the busy tone came from the other end, and Rafas finally hung up his phone.
He pulled open the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows in his study, letting in bright light. Who on earth dared to mess with him like this?
Suddenly, there was a frantic knocking at the door. Faisal, Shouya, and Aisin Gioro Yao Ri burst in together. Seeing their demeanor, Rafas realized they must have heard about Tony Smith.
"Lefas, quick, look at the news!" Aisin Gioro Yao Ri turned on the flat-screen TV in the study, which was just showing news about Tony being murdered.
Around nine o'clock in the morning UK time, Tony was found dead in an alley. According to British police, he had a total of eighteen stab wounds, with one fatal wound piercing his heart. The police would investigate all circumstances surrounding him, but it was initially confirmed that Tony Smith had been brutally murdered!
Just as Rafas was about to speak, another news segment came on. This morning, a source revealed that Monica and Halson’s top spokesperson, Rafas, was actually the notorious leader of the underworld known as "Solomon."
Before the news could finish, Rafas slammed his palm down in anger. The glass coffee table before him cracked loudly under his powerful blow; it had been perfectly intact just moments ago.
"With this news breaking out, many will surely think that Tony's death was done by Lefas. And as for Annie's death, even if Wushuang didn't do it, Lefas must have helped her. If we can't find evidence, both of you will be in big trouble!" Faisal pointed out the problem they were facing.
Rafas remained silent, his mind racing with thoughts about who had the capability to do this. The first person he suspected was Yamamoto Ryuichi; however, he had always been under surveillance and showed no signs of unusual behavior. Most importantly, he would never frame Wushuang for murder!
"Don't panic; I have some clues," Aisin Gioro Yao Ri said as he took out some photos and placed them on the cracked coffee table for everyone to see. He then added, "Take a look at these photos; they are from the soup dumplings retrieved from the Smith Family yesterday. I sent them for testing yesterday afternoon. Can you guess what the results were?"
