“Why are you afraid?” he asked with a mocking smile on his face as he looked at the woman who sat in front of him.
Han Xue’s face turned pale and the lamplight made her complexion seem as white as a sheet. She was terrified of this matter being discovered and more importantly, she feared for her future.
“Don’t worry...” Ye Yi said as he rose to his feet, walked around the table, and gently placed a hand on her shoulders. “I wouldn’t do anything unless I’m absolutely certain that it would work. I’m still counting on my brother to work hard and earn money for my future, so how could I let him discover what I’ve done?” Ye Yi’s lips curved upward as he placed his legs on the table. He lit up another cigarette and blew out a plume of smoke.
Han Xue shifted away from him. This man always gave off such sinister vibes that she couldn’t help but be afraid of him. She feared him nine years ago and that feeling only intensified over the years because she could not see through his intentions at all.
“Ye Yi...” Han Xue took a deep breath. Her anxiety and fear were still clearly written all over her face.
“Did you get rid of Wang Lan?” she asked. She felt very uneasy with Wang Lan in the house. Wang Lan was like a walking time bomb since she was privy to some of her secrets. She would feel extremely upset and tense each time she saw Wang Lan.
Ye Yi gave her a small smile as he caressed the white jade ring he wore on his finger.
“She’s dead!” he said.
“Dead?” Han Xue repeated with a frown. Her heart suddenly dropped when she realized what must have happened to Wang Lan and fear quickly flashed past her face.
“Weren’t you hoping that she’d die?” Ye Yi asked as he reached out to lift her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.
Han Xue bit her lips. She didn’t understand why her heart was racing but she knew that it wasn’t because she was aroused but because she was gripped by a raw sense of fear and terror.
“Don’t worry,” Ye Yi said as he gently stroked her face. “The police won’t be able to trace it to me and I’ve already gotten rid of the body,” he said calmly.
“Did you bury her?” Han Xue asked as her eyes widened. She used to get very upset and annoyed at the thought of Wang Lan but now, all she could feel was terror.
Ye Yi pursed his lips together in a smile. He took her hand in his and led her to the storeroom located within the yacht.
The storeroom was full of all kinds of tools, ropes, hooks, buckets, life jackets, and other knick knacks. However, her attention couldn’t help but be drawn to the huge glass vat in the storeroom. There was nothing inside this vat and it was completely empty.
Han Xue looked around fearfully but she did not notice anything amiss.
Ye Yi pointed at the large vat.
“I hired someone to pour acid over her corpse and I placed her within this vat over there,” he said.
Boom...
Han Xue felt as though someone had slammed a rock against her head. Her knees suddenly gave way and she stumbled a few steps backward to land heavily against the door.
She placed a hand over her chest and felt as though her breath had hitched in her throat.
“How...?” she stuttered. Then, Ye Yi turned around to look at her with the same smile dancing on his lips as he said, “There’s nothing to worry about. Wang Lan will be deemed as missing person case for a long, long time.”
Han Xue’s hands started to shake. She knew that she had deliberately asked Ye Yi to get rid of Wang Lan but she hadn’t expected him to resort to such extreme measures.
Han Xue’s face was even paler than before when she returned to the resting area and even her lips were pale.
She was suddenly gripped with fear and she was worried that Ye Hao or the police would somehow find out. Then, she would be charged as having deliberately...
