The 99th Divorce

It was a small envelope. On it was written the name “Shen Luo’an.” Upon seeing it, a sense of foreboding crept into Guan Yanhong.

He reached out and was about to take the letter when he thought the better of it and stopped short. Looking at Xiao Xu with a very unpleasant expression, he asked, “What is written inside?”

Xiao Xu shook her head. “I don’t know. I didn’t open it, but I’m guessing…”

The letter had been all that was left after he disappeared on his wedding day. Anyone could guess that its contents wouldn’t be ideal.

Guan Yanhong steeled his features and snatched the envelope over, opening it with a single tear. Inside it was a piece of paper torn out of a notebook. There was only one sentence written on it, making the paper look especially empty.

Sorry, I didn’t want to let you down.

Those few words were enough to reveal Shen Luo’an’s intentions. Guan Yanhong burst out in anger, “What the h*ll! Shen Luo’an!”

Xiao Xu was kept on her toes by Guan Yanhong’s outburst. With a purse of her lips, she said, “I did some investigation. Mr. Shen chased the driver out of the wedding car and drove it to the airport.”

Guan Yanhong clenched his fist. The paper in his hand was crushed into a ball. “Get him back here!”

“Yes.”

“Also, get me a lawyer. I’m going to have Ye Youyou charged in court!” Guan Yanhong’s eyes were ablaze. “I’m going to ensure she dies in prison!”

Xiao Xu looked down and didn’t say anything. With a tiny sound of acknowledgement, she turned and left.

The situation was not looking optimistic.

Li Jinnan had been busy as a bee for two days straight. On the second day, he contacted Rong Haiyue.

However, Rong Haiyue was from the army, so he couldn’t get involved in the matter. In any case, his interference would have complicated matters further.

After sorting through all the connections he could find, Li Jinnan contacted Rong Haiyue’s nephew, who was also Su Qianci’s cousin, Rong Rui.

This was not the first time Li Jinnan had heard of Rong Rui’s name. As the husband of Li Sicheng’s assistant, who had also been involved in the case with Tang Mengying, Rong Rui’s name reverberated like thunder in Li Jinnan’s ears.

Although Rong Rui wasn’t in the Capital, he was extremely capable with far-reaching connections. He also had plenty of friends.

Using Rong Rui’s network, Li Jinnan was able to get in touch with an acclaimed lawyer reputed to have never lost a case. By the time the lawyer familiarized himself with the case and arranged for a meeting with Ye Youyou, two days had passed.

“The current situation is quite sticky. Everyone knows that Miss Ye and Miss Guan were inside the room, but no one can prove that Miss Guan drank that poison on her own. Furthermore, the biggest obstacle to proving Miss Ye’s innocence is that fact that Miss Ye opened the bottle for her. The most critical point is that Miss Ye’s fingerprints were clearly on the bottle. In addition, you have had a long standing grudge between the both of you…” The lawyer’s words were grim.

Ye Youyou sat opposite them in a panic. She began to lose hope, especially after hearing the lawyer’s words.

“More importantly, Guan Yanhong is of a very high status in the Capital. There will be many people acting according to his wishes. The last I heard, he was in the midst of handling this case. Rumor has it that he wants you to be given the death sentence.”

Ye Youyou reeled back in shock and looked helplessly at Li Jinnan. He was sitting opposite her, but there was a glass wall between them. He couldn’t touch her.

All he could do was rest his hand on the glass partition as he gazed at her and said, “Don’t worry. The lawyer isn’t done yet.”

“There is still a chance. After all, Miss Guan is mentally unstable.”
