Jiang Yao thought that after that day, the entire army would know that Colonel Lu’s family would only buy popsicles with coins.
Chen Xuyao did not sleep the entire night at the police station. He kept an eye on the police station with Liang Yueze to question the individual Lu Xingzhi had apprehended the night before.
Chu Sheng claimed to have seen that man when she was taken when she was younger. She always remembered the mole in that man’s eyebrows and his face.
Even though ten years had gone and that man had grown much older, his overall appearance had not changed.
Chen Xuyao had never expected Chu Sheng’s abduction to be linked to the previous kidnapping.
When Lu Xingzhi arrived at the police station, Chen Xuyao was smoking in an office. Liang Yueze was nowhere to be seen, and Chen Xuyao was the only one sitting in that huge office.
“Where are Big Brother and Chu Sheng?” Lu Xingzhi walked in and opened the window to get some fresh air. “Don’t mess up their office even if you’re in a bad mood. How can they work when their office is filled with the smell of cigarettes?”
“Xiao Sheng is resting in the lounge. Big Brother and Uncle Liang went back to Jindo City an hour ago to help me with some errands.” Chen Xuyao rubbed his temples and said, “After interrogating him for half a day, we came up with some problems. Back then, that person did participate in the kidnapping
case. He had always been working for the Zhu family. After that, Master Zhu appeared. It’s obvious that he trusts him. Therefore, Master Zhu must have had something to do with the previous kidnapping case. In recent years, there has been no interaction between the Zhu and Qian families of Ping City.
However, the two families seem to be old acquaintances. Therefore, I suspect the Qian family might have also been involved in the previous kidnapping case. Otherwise, no matter how capable the Zhu family is, they wouldn’t be able to reach into Jindo City when I’m there.”
Perhaps he was too emotional, Chen Xuyao’s explanation was a little hazy, but Lu Xingzhi understood him.
“You mean you think the Zhu family in Ping City has been working for the Qian family for the past few years?” Lu Xingzhi asked. “You think the Qian family planned your kidnapping?”
Chen Xuyao smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. “I was only a few years old back then. What reason did the Qian family have to attack me?”
“You suspect that someone from the Chen family joined hands with the Qian family to attack you?” Lu Xingzhi finally understood him. It was no wonder that Chen Xuyao’s expression was so ugly.
Chen Xuyao’s parents were not from the family’s current lineage. However, the relationship between the Chen family and their friends had always been very strong, and they had never heard of any bad rumors.
Those who knew the Chen family in Jindo City would praise their cohesion, which was why the Chen family had always been in a strong position.
Lu Xingzhi had always assumed that the Chen family’s older members got along nicely.
‘When Lu Xingzhi considered that, he immediately recognized Chen Xuyao’s distress. If, as he suspected, the person responsible for the kidnapping was a Chen family member, they would most likely crumble bit by bit, just like the Zhu family in Ping City.
“Actually, I had my suspicions when I was younger. After I returned home, everyone was too good to me. Everyone looked like they cared about me. I even despised the fact that I doubted my own family members.” Chen Xuyao grabbed his short hair. His entire being appeared to have turned depressed.
