After saying that, she ended the call.
Dongfang Yu asked quietly, âWhat happened?â
âQiao Ning said sheâs at the police station, her voice sounded off, I donât know whatâs happened. Letâs hurry over and check.â
Dongfang Yu nodded, asked no questions, and immediately drove to the police station.
Hai Xiaotang thought that Qiao Ning must have run into some sort of trouble.
But she never imagined that something so serious had happenedâ¦
When they arrived at the police station, Hai Xiaotang saw Qiao Ning trembling and looking pale.
Upon seeing Hai Xiaotang, Qiao Ning couldnât help but tear up.
Hai Xiaotang grew uneasy, and asked with concern, âQiao Ning, what happened? Whatâs wrong?â
âXiaotang, what should I do, what should I do?â Qiao Ning immediately began crying out of fear.
Hai Xiaotang became increasingly flustered and said, âQiao Ning, what in the world happened?! Donât cry, just tell me slowly.â
âShe has been suspected of murder,â a police officer said.
âWhat did you say?!â Hai Xiaotang jerked her head upwards, completely stunned.
Dongfang Yu also seemed surprised.
âI didnât, I didnât kill anyone!â Qiao Ning retorted immediately, agitated. Yet, none of these police officers believed her.
âQiao Ning, what on earth has happened?â A dismayed Hai Xiaotang asked.
Shaking, Qiao Ning proceeded to explain the situation.
It turned out that all this while, Su Zigao had been harassing Qiao Ning. Qiao Ning despised him and kept rejecting him, but the more she rejected him, the more he became interested in her.
Su Zigao has a fiancée, named Zhang Yingying. Hai Xiaotang met her before â an arrogant and domineering girl.
Zhang Yingying was infatuated with Su Zigao, but Su Zigao could not forget Qiao Ning.
This made Zhang Yingying furious. She had created troubles for Qiao Ning multiple times, and although Qiao Ning tolerated them all, she tried her best to avoid both of them.
But this time, Zhang Yingying was completely incensed.
Because Su Zigao wanted to break off their engagement, saying he didnât want to marry her anymore.
Zhang Yingying naturally assumed that Su Zigao wanted to break off with her to marry Qiao Ning instead.
Therefore, two nights ago, Zhang Yingying blocked Qiao Ning near her residence and attacked her without saying a word. Qiao Ning, defying the beats, frustrated Zhang Yingying by fighting back.
There was a lake nearby, known as Willow Leaf Lake, because many willow trees were planted around it.
The willow leaves fluttered across the lake surface, hence everyone called it Willow Leaf Lake.
Zhang Yingying, out of malice, tried to push Qiao Ning into the lake. Qiao Ning fought back desperately, and in the struggle, managed to push Zhang Yingying to the ground before fleeing the scene.
She thought that would be the end of it, but little did she expect, Zhang Yingying disappeared that night.
And this morning, Zhang Yingyingâs body surfaced from the bottom of the lake, and the police were alerted as soon as someone spotted it.
Following various leads, the police tracked down Qiao Ning.
A witness also testified that they indeed saw Qiao Ning and Zhang Yingying fighting at the lake edge, turning Qiao Ning into the sole suspect behind Zhang Yingyingâs murder.
The police suspected that Qiao Ning accidentally pushed Zhang Yingying into the lake.
But Qiao Ning insisted that she didnât.
âXiaotang, believe me, I didnât push her into the lake! I only pushed her to the ground, I even took a glance, she truly fell on the ground, not into the lake!â
The police officer calmly responded, âIndeed, you did push her to the ground. Zhang Yingying had a bruise on her forehead from the fall. But it doesnât rule out the possibility that you might have pushed her into the lake thereafter!â
