The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 975 - She Was Questioned

Chapter 975: She Was Questioned

Several policemen also searched the room that Wang Lan had previously lived at the castle. However, the room had already been scrubbed clean, so they couldn’t find anything much.
The staff who were employed at the Ye family for a longer period of time including Qin Xiaoyu, Xiao Wang, and the two security guards were also questioned by the police and their statements were taken down. He Xiyan was also subject to the same procedure.
She cooperated fully with the police’s request to conduct an investigation.
“Madam He, what do you remember about Wang Lan who used to work for the Ye family?” the policeman asked.
He Xiyan’s expression was grave. She had only recently found out that Wang Lan had gone missing, just like how she had disappeared without a trace three years ago. She didn’t really interact much with Wang Lan but since Wang Lan had served her for more than a year while she was married to Ye Hao, she still had some feelings for her.
She thought for a moment before she said, “Wang Lan doesn’t really speak much and I don’t remember her smiling much either. She seemed more mature than other women her age. I remember her being very frugal but there was a period of time, if I’m not wrong, it should be the summer or autumn of 2021 that she sported several branded clothes and bags. I didn’t probe further but I guessed that those must have been gifts from her new boyfriend.”
He Xiyan truthfully told the police what she knew.
The policeman frowned and used a red pen to circle the time period that He Xiyan had mentioned. This period was very important because the maids employed with the Ye family also mentioned that this was the period that Wang Lan started buying branded clothes and skincare products. Everyone had also mentioned that she used to be very frugal before that.
“Madam He, do you recall Wang Lan ever approaching you for money while you were the mistress of this castle?” he asked.
She quickly shook her head.
“No, she had never approached me to borrow money, neither did she ever mention that she was in need of money,” she said.
The policeman took note of her statement.
“Very well. Thanks for your time today,” the policeman said after they kept their voice recorders and notes.
He Xiyan nodded and said, “No worries. I hope you’ll be able to find her soon.”
She took a deep breath. She wasn’t very attached to Wang Lan but she was still worried about this young woman who had disappeared mysteriously without a trace; especially since Wang Lan was an only child.
She knew that Wang Lan’s parents must be extremely anxious and upset.
He Xiyan asked Qin Xiaoyu to head out with her to a mall in Ye City after the policemen left since she wanted to buy some things for Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi.
——
In a mansion that was located south of the city.
Han Xue drove a silver Bugatti home and she was clad in a black tight leather suit and a pair of sunglasses that made her seem even more unapproachable than usual.
She immediately heard sobbing sounds from within the house the moment she disembarked which made her skin crawl.
“What’s going on?” she asked the guard.
“Wang Lan’s parents are here,” the new guard treated her very politely.
Han Xue walked toward the mansion and the sobbing sounds grew even louder as she approached the mansion which made her even more upset.
She frowned as she looked at the unfamiliar couple in the living room.
“Why are you crying here?”she asked and her heels clicked against the ground as she approached them and stared at the middle-aged couple.
“You must be Han Xue, right?” Wang Lan’s mother Chen Meifeng suddenly rose to her feet and looked hatefully at Han Xue.
