Miss Li entered the guest room. At this moment, she was completely sober.

  After bowing to Ye Jie, she was arranged to sit down.

  The investigator looked at Miss Li. “Think about it carefully. Apart from hearing someone arguing with the deceased, what else did you hear?”


  Miss Li furrowed her eyebrows tightly.

  After thinking for a while, she shook her head. “I really can’t remember.”


  “Miss Li, you’re a very important witness. Please think about it carefully.” Ye Jie’s deep and elegant voice sounded.

  Seeing the Crown Prince, who was high up in the air, suddenly speak to her, Miss Li felt honored and excited. She did not want to disappoint the Crown Prince, so she closed her eyes and recalled carefully again.

  After nearly five minutes, Miss Li suddenly opened her eyes. “Ah, I remember now. I think I heard the sound of someone falling into the water. Then, someone said, “Damn it, you ruined my plans.”


  Ye Jie nodded. “Very good.” Then, he looked at the investigator. “Send someone to take a look. Maybe there will be some clues left by the lake.”


  The investigators immediately sent people over.

  Ten minutes later, the investigator came to the lobby. “After Miss Bo and the deceased had an argument, someone pushed the deceased into the water. It’s very likely that the person who pushed the deceased into the water was the person who poisoned her.”


  “My colleague found a shoe print by the lake just now and is collecting evidence now. Please cooperate with our staff to take off your shoes and change into the slippers we prepared for you.”


  A boy who had been transferred from the hotel to be a waiter quietly left the banquet hall. He put on a baseball cap and left through the back door.

  He was already familiar with the Sun family and knew where to avoid the surveillance cameras and people.

  He went out from the back door and ran to the inconspicuous wall. He pressed his watch and a silver hook popped out.

  He quickly climbed up the wall and was about to jump down when he looked down and saw Ah Zuo waiting below with several bodyguards in black.

  He frowned and was about to return when the investigator came over with his men.

  The male waiter who was about to escape was escorted back to the banquet hall.

  He glared at the investigator with a cold expression. “How did you find me?”


  The investigator said, “Fortunately, the Crown Prince is smart. He checked the members who attended the banquet today. No one had any feud with the deceased. Since there was no feud, the deceased could not have died. The person who poisoned them first eliminated these young masters and socialites.”


  “Besides, to be able to find Miss Ye by the lake not long after Bo Cixue, you must be familiar with the route of the Sun family’s villa. The hotel service staff who came today came a few days ago to familiarize themselves with the route.”


  “Lastly, there were no footprints left by the lake. I asked everyone to change their shoes and collect evidence. It will definitely make the murderer panic.”


  The investigator took out his handcuffs. “No matter who assigned you to poison the deceased, you must return to the station with me for investigation.”


  There was no fear on the male waiter’s face. He looked at the investigators, then at Ye Jie and Bo Cixue, and suddenly took a step back…


  “He wants to take poison. Capture him quickly.” Ye Jie realized that something was wrong and shouted coldly.

  But it was too late. The male staff raised his hand and bit the poison into his lips.

  Her body fell straight down.

  Ye Jie took a step forward and stood in front of Bo Cixue.

  The male staff, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, looked at Ye Jie. His lips moved, as if he had said something, but no one heard him.

  Only Ye Jie’s expression was dark and cold.

  ….

  It happened in an instant. Seeing that another person had died in the hall, the guests who were attending the banquet were all frightened.

  Gao Tai was also shocked by the death of the male staff.

  The investigators found that the man had taken the same poison as Ye Yiren.

  The truth was very clear. This waiter had poisoned Ye Yiren to death and had committed suicide.

  After leaving the Sun family, Bo Cixue’s mood was extremely heavy.

  After saying goodbye to Nan Xun, she got into Ye Jie’s car.

  Ye Jie was talking to Ah Zuo, who was in the front passenger seat. “Investigate the identity of that waiter and find out who he has been in contact with in recent years.”


  Of course, the male waiter was not the murderer who really wanted to harm people. There was someone behind it.

  Besides, this person behind the scenes had some ability to make him swallow poison and commit suicide without revealing the mastermind!

  Ye Jie asked the driver to drive to the Bo family’s house.

  Before Bo Cixue got out of the car, he touched her head. “Go back and take a bath. If you’re afraid, let Auntie Yan accompany you.”


  Bo Cixue nodded. “Okay.”


  Bo Cixue pushed open the door, but she did not get out of the car. After a few seconds, she turned back to look at Ye Jie. “Brother Xiaojie, shall we get engaged?”


  What happened tonight made her feel that life was unpredictable.

  She had not confirmed her relationship with him and had not had any children. She was afraid that she would leave him like this one day!

  Ye Jie rubbed the top of Bo Cixue’s head and laughed softly. “Silly girl, I should be the one to say this.”


  Bo Cixue bit her lip. “Actually, I just said it casually.”


  She pushed open the door and got out of the car. Closing the door, she waved at him. “I’m going in.”


  He nodded.

  The car door closed and her figure gradually disappeared from his sight.

  Ye Jie’s tall body leaned against the chair, his noble face cold and his eyes so dark that no one could see his heart.

  “Your Highness, are you worried about Miss Bo?”


  Ye Jie hummed lowly.

  Ah Zuo naturally understood that if Ye Yiren had not drunk that glass of champagne by accident today, Miss Bo might have been poisoned to death.

  ….

  Ah Zuo soon found out the identity of the poisoned waiter.

  She was an orphan and had been a loner since she was young. She had no friends when she grew up and had been working in the hotel for the past few years. She was usually hardworking in her work. Otherwise, she would not have been chosen by the hotel manager to attend the Sun family’s banquet.

  “I’ve checked his background, connections, phone calls, and communications. There are no suspicious signs.”


  Ye Jie frowned slightly, his handsome face tense.

  He walked to the French windows and stood there, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.

  Why did the other party want Cixue’s life?

  Was it because of him?

  ….

  There were two big news at the Sun family’s banquet that shocked the high society circle in the capital.

  Firstly, Ye Yiren had been poisoned to death. Secondly, Bo Cixue had become Ye Jie’s girlfriend.

  After the news of Ye Yiren’s death reached the presidential palace of K Country, Madam Ye, Ye Qingcheng, and Ye Xuan rushed over overnight.

  After finding out that it was a hotel waiter who had poisoned Ye Yiren and that the waiter had committed suicide, Madam Ye could not settle the score with the murderer and could only vent her anger on the Gao family.

  How long had it been since the Gao family married a new woman for such a thing to happen?

  They were also very aggrieved. In the past, they had never dared to fall out with the presidential palace because of Princess Ye Yi’s status.

  However, ever since Ye Yiren married into the Gao family, she had brought them too much negative news. Now that she was dead, the presidential palace was still looking for trouble with them. Naturally, they could not take it anymore……
