Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 751 - 731 Explosive News (Part 2)

Jiayi remembered being helped to her feet, her mind a blank, and then finally, unable to bear the smell of blood any longer, she vomited until she was dizzy and the world went dark.

In the end, a police car arrived, and she, along with the nanny and the security guard, were all taken to the police station...

On the way, the older nanny sitting opposite her looked at Jiayi with an expression as if she had seen a devil, trembling non-stop and huddling close to the security guard.

It was as if Jiayi would pounce on them and devour them both in the next second.

Upon arrival at the police station, she was taken to an interrogation room on her own.

When the harsh lights used for interrogating suspects shone on her face, she felt her entire body begin to shake.

It took a while before she could somewhat control her panic and organize her thoughts.

She told the officers that she had been invited to meet Xiaolei at Lijing Apartment, and upon arrival had found the door open and was then knocked unconscious; when she woke up, she discovered Xiaolei’s body.

The officer handling the case showed a look of surprise when he learned that Jiayi was the mayor’s wife, and his tone became somewhat softer, not as rough and cold as one would be with a suspect.

But Jiayi could see the doubt on his face as clear as day.

Clearly, the police suspected her of being the murderer.

Because it was a serious murder case, and there were two eyewitnesses on the scene, the situation was too grave, and after the interrogation, Jiayi was taken temporarily to a detention center by a policewoman.

...

The cold and hard concrete bench, after being sat on for a long time, made a chill run from Jiayi’s toes to her back, and her mind finally began to clear up considerably.

Before being brought into the detention center, her cell phone and personal belongings had been taken away by the officers, and although she couldn’t see the time, she knew that it had already turned dark.

Even though she had changed into clean clothes after entering the police station and had washed off the blood on her, the smell of blood seemed to linger incessantly beneath her nose.

Jiayi felt something surging up in her stomach, her face pale without a hint of color, her fingers tightly curled, grasping her trousers, and finally, she couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed to the toilet, vomiting with a loud "ah".

Perhaps because she had already vomited once at the scene, she couldn’t bring up much this time, yet she still felt nauseous.

After retching for a while, her head began to spin, and she felt like she could faint at any moment.

"Chu Jiayi, what’s wrong? Is it serious?"

The patrol policewomen heard the noise and came over, frowning as they looked inside through the small window in the cell door.

The young woman’s beautiful hair was soaked with sweat, her complexion terrifyingly pale as she crouched in front of the flushing toilet, heaving violently, looking very uncomfortable.

This mayor’s wife hadn’t been married to Mayor Huo for long, and although she was usually low-key, she was the object of envy for many women.

Just a few months ago, their grand wedding was still fresh in memory.

Not long ago, the envy of all women in the city was sparked by the imperial purple that Mayor Huo presented her...

This woman was now involved in a murder case and had entered the police station.

A dispassionate call by her full name made Jiayi realize that at this moment, she had indeed become a prisoner.

In the cell, there was no mayor’s wife.

There were only convicts or suspects.

"I’m fine." Jiayi leaned on the toilet lid, trying hard to stand up, fearing the policewomen might leave, she staggered to the small window:

"Officer, please help me contact my husband..."

A policewoman looked at her with a touch of disdain in her eyes, and though she softened her tone a bit for the sake of Jiayi being the mayor’s wife, there was still a hint of sarcasm: "Rest assured, we’ve already notified Huo Mansion, and Mayor Huo is probably on his way."

Jiayi sighed with relief, knowing he was coming made her feel more at ease, but then she turned pale again as the feeling of nausea swept over her once more, and she quickly ran back to the toilet, embracing it and retching violently.

The two policewomen exchanged glances, frowned, and then walked on with their batons, slowly continuing their patrol away from the cell.

As they walked, a hushed conversation carried over:

"...It’s good to have a husband who’s the mayor and from a wealthy family, even if you kill someone, you can still shamelessly ask your husband to save you."

"Isn’t that so. She’s still there playing faint and vomiting, acting pitiable. But this time, she was witnessed in public, with both human and material evidence, and now even the media know about it—they’re hanging around the police station’s entrance trying to get information. The mayor must be under a lot of pressure, I think she might not be able to escape this time..."

"Yes, murder calls for retribution, a law of heaven and earth. What does it matter if she’s the mayor’s wife?"

...

Words drifted into Jiayi’s ears; she heard them clearly, and her complexion turned even paler.

The media know? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Why...

Due to her special status, the case’s severity, the police feared the situation would escalate—her being taken away from the Lijing Apartment by police car was done in secret, and she was also wearing a mask.

Did someone see and deliberately leak it to the media?

No...

This was clearly a trap...

It was a trap set by someone who’d planned in advance, luring her into jumping!

She felt the urge to run to the entrance and shout "I didn’t kill anyone" at the two people, but her weak legs couldn’t support her at all.

She restrained the nausea and, staggering, she got up and sat on the concrete bed plank, clutching her slender fingers.

She had to endure... yes.

He was already on his way here.

She didn’t kill the person; as long as she was innocent, there should be nothing wrong.

That night, Yunling City’s police station was shrouded in dense clouds.

The night grew increasingly calm.

But the police station’s entrance was seething with undercurrents, ready to erupt at any moment.

News SRG vans were gathered all around.

The reporters waited anxiously beside their vehicles, awaiting a response from the police station.

The mayor’s wife implicated in a murder case, having been witnessed at the scene—

This news was probably Yunling’s most explosive in the past few years.

As soon as the media received the news, they excitedly drove over as if injected with adrenaline.

At that moment, a subdued, steel-painted SUV sped toward the police station.

The car was fast, its tires sparking against the asphalt, like an angry cheetah of the rainforest hidden in the night.

Behind it followed another vehicle, looking like a bodyguard car.

Upon reaching the entrance, the SUV’s tires slid across the ground, coming to an abrupt, screeching halt.

The car door was flung open with a loud "bang!"

An imposing man stepped out with long legs on the ground, leaving the car, his face dark as the storm clouds overhead, his fury deep and unyielding. Adjusting his collar, he walked straight towards the police station’s entrance as if he didn’t see the reporters around him.

Another man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses also got out of the car, following closely behind the grim-faced man, and they both entered the police station.

At the same time, a group of black-clad bodyguards and assistants from the car behind them also got out, moving forward to block off the reporters and clear a path for the man.

The reporters realized what was happening and, ignoring the bodyguards’ attempts to stop them, rushed forward:

"Mayor Huo, Mrs. Huo was seen at the scene of Miss Lo’s death and brought back to the station. What are your thoughts?"
