"Letitia." Seeing Letitia lying on the ground and twitching constantly, I was so worried. I wanted to help her up, but the pain in my belly made me unable to bend down. I could only hold my waist and call her name anxiously.
"Let's go." The man who had killed Letitia gave me a cold look, threw the knife in front of me, and left with his confederates.
I had no time to care about who those people were. I struggled to squat down, grabbed Letitia's twitching hands, and called her name.
"Letitia... Wake up..."
"Ashley..."
Letitia called out my name with her eyes wide open.
I nodded and replied immediately, "I'm here... What do you want to say?"
"Go... Hurry up..."
"I want to take you away with me."
I shook my head and tried my best to pull Letitia up, but I didn't have much strength. Then I fell unconscious to the ground.
"My child..."
At the moment when I fainted, the only thing I hoped was... that my child would be safe...
"Beep, beep, beep." When I woke up, I heard the sound of the medical instrument ticking. It was a little noisy.
I slowly opened my eyes, and the bright light hurt my eyes. I couldn't help squinting and gradually adapted to the light.
"Ashley, you finally woke up. Thank God!"
I heard an unusually happy voice. Was it Amy?
I blinked my eyes and raised my hand. I wanted to get up, but Amy grabbed my hand.
Amy grabbed my hand and whispered to me, "Don't get up. The doctor said that your child almost had an accident."
"Is there anything wrong with my child?" I held my belly reflexively.
"Don't worry, he is all right."
Amy looked at me and said.
When I heard Amy say that my child was fine, I could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Letitia!" Suddenly, I thought of Letitia's appearance that she was covered all over with blood. I opened my eyes in fear, grabbed Amy's hand, and said.
"She... is dead." Amy's voice was deep. She looked at me with a complicated expression and said.
"What did you say? Letitia... died?"
I was scared by Amy's words, and my whole body was stiff.
"When the police came over, Letitia was already dead, and..." Amy Lin paused before she could finish her words. She looked at her with a complicated look. Being stared at by Amy like this, my heart suddenly sank.
It was a conspiracy. They set a trap for me on purpose.
"Miss Mu, we are from the police station. About the murder of Letitia, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
Just as I was cold all over, the voice of the police came from the door.
When I heard it, my face couldn't help but turn pale.
I clenched my fists and looked at the two policemen in front of me.
"Officer, can you wait for her to get better? She is pregnant."
"Sorry, it's our routine. Please don't make things difficult for us."
The policeman who spoke glanced at Amy and said.
Amy was so anxious that she wanted to say something, but I stopped her.
"Amy, it doesn't matter."
I glanced at Amy and shook my head.
"Ashley, really?" Amy asked when she saw me saying these words calmly.
"They'll just ask me some questions. I can bear."
I pulled the quilt on my body and struggled to get up from the bed.
The police didn't handcuff me. Because I was just a suspect. I got in the police car and came to the police station with those policemen.
I didn't expect that I was taken to the police station before saving Edward.
This matter would not be settled easily.
It was wishful thinking that they wanted me to give in.
Then they took me to the interrogation room. Those people asked me a lot of questions, such as why I went to the warehouse and why I killed Letitia.
I categorically denied that I killed Letitia, and I was almost burned to death.
These people probably wanted to burn me to death, but when they saw me and Letitia come out, so they wanted to kill me in this way.
They were extremely vicious.
"We found your fingerprints on the knife which killed Letitia, and there were your fingerprints on her body. According to our investigation, your relationship with Letitia has always been bad. We think that you killed her because you wanted to take revenge on her."
In the face of my question, William didn't say a word, and he didn't even frown.
He spread out his hands. His eyes sized me up and finally looked at my belly.
"Your child will be born in two months." I couldn't help but feel nervous when I heard that. I put my hand on my belly and looked at him warily. "What do you want to do?"
"Are you worried that I will hurt the baby in your belly?"
William got close to me. His sinister breathing passed by my cheek, making me tremble all over.
Frightened by the cold and horrible aura on his body, my whole body tensed.
"Ashley, Edward, and your child choose one."
I heard his devil- like voice, it was so mean and malicious.
"Miss Mu, are you all right?"
I walked on the road in a trance, I was so tired and weak.
Behind me sounded Paul's voice. Had Paul come back from Ling City? He must have come back in a hurry after knowing Letitia's death and the fact that I was detained."
"I'm fine." I looked at Paul and was very grateful to his concern.
"I heard that something happened to Madam, so I came back immediately. What happened exactly?" Paul said to me with a worried face.
I didn't know how William saved me from the police station, but everyone in Beijing regarded me as the murderer who killed Letitia.
Paul probably saw the news, so he hurried back from Ling City. "Let's not talk about this. What did you get from the witnesses you found in Ling City?" I touched my belly, looked at Paul, and asked eagerly.
"They refused to say anything at first. In the end, under my tough means, they confessed everything. It was William who asked them to change their statements. In fact, those people died of skin allergy, which had nothing to do with the clothes in the workshop of the Xi's Group. But William cleverly took advantage of this matter and framed my boss. He even had an authoritative report. With this evidence and witnesses, my boss couldn't get rid of the crime easily."
"I knew it. It was done by William." Hearing what Paul said, I was so angry that I wanted to confront William immediately.
It never occurred to me that someone would be so scheming, despicable, and shameless.
William was the most despicable and shameless person I had ever seen.
In order to achieve his goal, he could do such a despicable thing.
"We have pieces of evidence and some information about William's crimes. It's still possible for us to defeat him."
Paul looked at me with sparkling eyes and said.
As long as we gave these pieces of evidence to the court, the case of Edward would be doubtful. They would not close the case easily, because Edward could lodge an appeal.
But...
