C13 Death Penalty

chapter 13. - Death penalty

The morning sun shone into the room. The clothes scattered on the bed and the floor were very messy. Ye Zixuan's hair covered the pillow. She hid in the blanket and slept like a baby.

Even though she was sleeping, her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, making it seem that she was worried and made people feel pity for her.

The warm sunlight shone on her body. Her long eyelashes trembled twice before revealing her bright eyes. The memories from last night were still in her mind.

Ye Zixuan's face was red. But the soreness in her body was even more obvious. She struggled to stand up from the bed.

The messy room and the tide of memories made her feel humiliated. She walked to the mirror in the bathroom.

Her hair was messy and her lips were red and swollen. Her neck, collarbone, and chest were full of kiss marks. It could be seen how rough he was last night.

With her current appearance, there was no way she could go out and see anyone!

But what made Ye Zixuan even more uncomfortable was that he directly raped her just like that. Why did he treat her like this, completely disregarding her wishes?

She followed the bathroom door and sat down without any strength. Tears fell down one by one, fell onto the floor and disappeared.

Even though she knew that he was temperamental and cold, the two of them got along very harmoniously. This made her mistake him for being a good person and forget how terrifying he was.

It was only this time that she deeply understood him and feared him.

As long as he wanted to have sex with her, there was no way she could resist him.

Suddenly, a familiar ringtone rang. It was Ye Zixuan's phone ringtone. She stood up unsteadily and opened the bathroom door. She walked to the bedside and picked up the phone.

"Chen Xi."

"Zixuan, where are you? Do you know? I saw on the news that your father's punishment has already been sentenced." On the other end of the phone, Chen Xi seemed to be afraid that Ye Zixuan would break down if she knew about this matter and did not dare to continue.

Ye Zixuan clenched her fingers into a fist and her expression was nervous. Her voice trembled because of fear, "Chen Xi, what is the result of my father's sentence?"

"Zixuan, listen to me. You must not be too sad. I will always accompany you." Chen Xi's voice choked up. Clearly, she was unwilling to accept this result.

"Is it a life sentence?" Ye Zixuan asked with a trembling voice.

His father ran away after knocking someone to death. The most serious punishment for this kind of crime was a life sentence, right?

Her mind was blank and there was only one thought in her mind. That was, as long as her father was still alive, she would definitely think of a way!

"Zixuan, your father was sentenced to death." Chen Xi could no longer hide it. Even if she did not say it, Ye Zixuan would sooner or later see this news from the television.

But after she finished speaking, the other end of the phone was speechless, making Chen Xi worried. "Zixuan, what happened to you? Don't scare me."

Ye Zixuan sat on the cold floor and she felt like she had collapsed. How could this be? This was impossible. Didn't Huo Jingyan promise her that he would help?

Huo Jingyan was such a powerful person, plus he had a brother who was the chairman of the court. No matter what, his father wouldn't be sentenced to death.

What on earth had gone wrong?

At this moment, in the CEO's office of Hobitz Group.

Mr Liu placed the video he had investigated on the desk and looked at the CEO hesitantly. The news had already been released. The previous person in charge of Ye's Group had already announced that he was sentenced to death.

But the president still asked him to collect the video information. He might want to confirm it again.

Huo Jingyan knew that Huo Jingkun had said that there was no way to change the result of the case. There was no need for him to confirm it again. But because he had considered Ye Zixuan, this woman who always made him helpless, he could only personally look at the information and confirm it again.

When the video on the computer showed the scene of Ye Ming driving and knocking someone away, Huo Jingyan's deep eyes became cold. The video continued. The scared Ye Ming made a phone call and carried the dead body onto the back of the car and left.

According to the investigation, Ye Ming threw the body into the sea. The follow-up work was handled by Yan Youlei, his most trusted assistant.

Ye Ming did not expect that the person he once trusted would betray him in the end. This could only mean that Ye Ming was too stupid!

"President. What do you think about this matter?" Mr Liu looked at the president and asked carefully. If the CEO really wanted to help Ye Ming, it would be quite difficult. After all, the evidence was conclusive.

"We don't need to interfere. Since he did something wrong, he should take responsibility."

On the other side, the more Ye Zixuan thought about it, the more unwilling she was. She had already sold her body. She only wanted Huo Jingyan to help her. He had already promised her, but why did the result become like this?

Then what was she?

Was she a prostitute who had sex with him for free?

Ye Zixuan said a few words to Chen Xi absent-mindedly. After she changed her clothes, she had to find Huo Jingyan and make things clear to him! He was a bastard!

Ye Zixuan, who was extremely angry, got into the taxi and reported the Hobitz Group's address. When she sat in the car and remembered that her father was sentenced to death, she couldn't help but shed tears.

How did things become like this?

Was Huo Jingyan toying with her? Did he just treat her as a toy?

The loved ones who loved her the most were about to die. She had no way to accept this outcome.

"Miss, the Hopitz Group has arrived." The driver turned his head and looked at Ye Zixuan, whose eyes were red. He was shocked and his voice became gentle.

Ye Zixuan paid and got out of the car. She stood in front of the grand and luxurious gate of the Hopitz Group. She could not help but feel nervous. Her hands were tightly gripping the corner of her clothes. When she thought of her father's grievance, she mustered up her courage.

When she walked into the lobby on the first floor, she found that the employees of the company were all wearing neat professional suits, meticulously doing their own things. She could tell at a glance that this was an international company.

Ye Zixuan walked straight to the reception desk and said coldly, "My name is Ye Zixuan! I want to see Huo Jingyan!"

The receptionist cast a sidelong glance at Ye Zixuan and was momentarily unable to figure out her identity. She could only politely ask, "May I ask if you have an appointment?"

When Ye Zixuan heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

"I'm very sorry,miss! If you don't have an appointment, we can't let you in." The receptionist looked at Ye Zixuan helplessly and said.

When Ye Zixuan thought about her father being sentenced to death, her heart burned with anxiety. She just wanted to see Huo Jingyan immediately and ask him why he lied to her like this!

At this time, the receptionist did not allow her to enter the company. She refused to give up and turned around to walk towards the elevator.

The receptionist did not expect the seemingly gentle Ye Zixuan to forcefully barge in. She hurriedly called the security to stop her.

"Because you are not an employee of our company, you are not allowed to enter the company without an appointment. Please cooperate with our work and leave immediately." Two security guards stopped Ye Zixuan. Seeing that she did not seem like a bad person, their tone was very polite. But even if she was a bad person, what bad things could she do?
