Chapter 159 - Young Master Leng Is Here To Propose A Marriage (I)
At this moment, Fifth Young Master Shen was more anxious to read the results than Ye Lanchen. The former extended his hand quickly to grab the document and began scanning the lines.
Ye Lanchen’s narrowed gaze twinkled yet he did not steal a glance at the document. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.
“Third Elder Brother…” When Fifth Young Master Shen was finished, he raised his head and lifted his eyes to meet Ye Lanchen’s gaze. He parted his lips to speak but hesitated for a brief second. “It’s better if you read it yourself.”
Ye Lanchen remained silent. He exhaled slowly and silently before extending his arm to retrieve the document handed over by Fifth Young Master Shen. A person with eagle eyes would notice that right at this very moment, Ye Lanchen’s movement seemed hesitant and stiff.
Ye Lanchen was dazed for a couple of seconds before lowering his head to read the results eventually. His body froze momentarily yet his face did not reveal any emotion.
He was contemplating what had gone wrong.
He witnessed with his own eyes that she had used the drinking glass hence it must not have been a mistake. In other words, the evidence on the pen had been tampered with.
“Third Elder Brother, I told you so. Chu Wuyou really is not capable of all that.” Emotions chased over Fifth Young Master Shen’s features in quick succession whilst he enquired cautiously, “Third Elder Brother, you’ll divorce Chu Wuyou, right?”
Third Elder Brother would probably divorce Chu Wuyou now that he had learned she was not the woman from five years ago.
Ye Lanchen, who had been keeping himself calm, suddenly glared coldly at Fifth Young Master Shen.
Why would he divorce his wife?! He had gone through all the trouble of getting married to her.
Indeed, he had married Chu Wuyou because he suspected she was the woman from five years ago, and he was still investigating further into that matter.
However, even if the end results proved that Chu Wuyou was not the woman from five years ago, the option to divorce her was still definitely out of question.
He was not a man that would resort to divorce easily.
The reason he signed the marriage contract in the first place was because he feared she would disagree. He feared that pushing her too hard would result in her trying to flee again.
He had the period of a year, after all. He was confident that he could make her fall in love with him within this one year.
He still believed, however, that Chu Wuyou was that woman from five years ago.
“Third Elder Brother, did I say something wrong?” Fifth Young Master Shen who met the former’s gaze shuddered involuntarily. Did he? Did he say something wrong?
Why was Third Elder Brother glaring at him that way?
“Show me the security camera footage from when she was interrogating.” Ye Lanchen ignored the question. His voice sounded evidently cold when he spoke next.
“We don’t have it anymore. Remember that the security camera broke down previously? It was fixed after her departure but all the footage involving her was destroyed.” Fifth Young Master Shen appeared frustrated when he mentioned this. He had initially looked down upon that woman. He desired to reinspect the footage of her interrogation process later, only to find out that all the recordings were ruined.
“Then why are you so certain that she’s used that pen?” Ye Lanchen sounded nonchalant yet his piercing gaze appeared absolutely terrifying.
“She scribbled several symbols during the interrogation process. I witnessed it with my own eyes, as well as Liu Dalu who was in the interrogation room with her. There’s no mistake to that.” Fifth Young Master Shen trembled under his Third Elder Brother’s scrutiny and his voice was evidently several octaves lower than normal.
“Show me the notes she left behind.” Ye Lanchen twitched his eyebrows into a frown and his eyes darkened.
“Sure.” Fifth Young Master Shen dared not refuse and retrieved the aforementioned almost instantaneously.
A hint of brilliance flashed across Ye Lanchen’s eyes when he discovered the few symbols and his eyes widened gradually. These symbols…
