In the interrogation room, Zhao Ruoxin was informed that she would be detained for 48 hours. She was clearly very furious and she demanded to make a phone call back to the Yuan Family. Her complaints caused a few police officers to ask Wu Huai for help.
This was exactly what Wu Huai was worried about.
He intercepted her from the hospital in hopes of using the opportune moment to do a quick interrogation and avoid the Yuan Family from meddling in.
He was not afraid of the Yuan Family, but without solid evidence, he would have to release her from custody after 48 hours. What more, the aristocratic families liked to involve lawyers at the slightest provocation and it was very annoying!
“Tell her that there’s no need for her to contact anyone when she’s being kept under custody!”
Wu Huai thought that he might as well get through it despite the consequences. He decided to do things with strong measures!
Zhao Ruoxin’s request was denied and she surprisingly calmed down. She kept her mouth shut and treated the police officers coldly.
Zhao Ruoxin’s phone call records arrived soon after and it showed that she had phone calls with several network numbers. The lengths of the phone calls were rather long and very frequent.
It was definite that those were phone calls that hackers made using the Internet. Even the telecommunication company could not provide actual information and locations of the other parties.
Wu Huai felt that this woman was getting even more suspicious, but the investigation got into a dead end once again. After all, they could not prove that this woman was working with hackers based on the few network phone calls.
There would be no meaning to it even if they were to hold her custody for 48 hours. Yuan Xuan might meddle and it would make things even more difficult in the future.
As they were hesitating, Little Dong reported that Wu Ze and the Third Young Master of the Yuan Family had arrived.
News of Yuan Xuan rushing to the police station with Wu Ze also alerted Mu Chenyan.
She did not expect Yuan Xuan to arrive that quickly. He even brought a lawyer and Tian Qi along…
“Captain Wu, I’m here to pick up my people!”
Yuan Xuan wore a black tailored suit and a light color shirt with refined, diamond cufflinks.
The man was tall and he had an indifferent expression on his face. His tone was so calm that no one could tell if he had any other emotions. He was not angry nor irritated, but he had a natural arrogant aura. He stood up straight in the office of the third major crimes department under the crowd’s gaze.
Mu Chenyan could see everything clearly in her office.
This man was here to pick up Zhao Ruoxin! A feeling suddenly rushed into her heart — During the wedding three years ago, if this man could protect her with half of the aura that he had today, she would not need to struggle to live him for the rest of her life.
Mu Chenyan finally realized why she could not remove the thorn in her heart. It was not only because of the things that Mu Chenwu told her, but it was also partly due to her not trusting Yuan Xuan.
In Mu Chenyan’s mind, she could not let go of the fact that he did not protect her three years ago and caused her to be imprisoned for two years!
When she saw him picking up Zhao Ruoxin, a dreary smile curled up at the corners of the woman’s lips.
She wanted to forget about it, but it was too difficult!
Most of the people in the police station have seen the successor of the Yuan Family. The oppressing aura radiating from Yuan Xuan’s body caused them to look towards their captain at the same time.
Wu Huai was an old fox and he was very familiar with the ways of the world. He had suffered many hardships in this position and came into contact with many influential officials. With Yuan Xuan now rushing over, Wu Huai, who was also an outstanding member of an aristocratic family in Luo Hai, behaved modestly despite being a senior.
“Third Young Master Yuan, why make such a big fuss?” Wu Huai changed the way he acted usually and put on a big smile on his face. He was friendly and his usual crude bandit-like behavior was gone. He then continued, “We looked for Miss Zhao to understand some circumstances.”
“Is Captain Wu done? If you’re done, I’ll take her away. My grandmother is very worried as she can’t see Ruoxin at home!”
Yuan Xuan replied calmly. Despite his voice being cold with a stern tone, his piercing cold eyes contradict with warmth and modest. People were confused looking at him!
Wu Huai was not a fool. It was impossible that he could not see through this man’s temper behind his docile facade. The Yuan Family’s Third Young Master’s noble status came with an extremely huge ego. He never needed to negotiate with anyone within the boundaries of Luo Hai!
“Haha, wait for a moment, Third Young Master. We still need Miss Zhao’s cooperation in a small matter…”
“We’ve brought our lawyer here. If Captain Wu would like to negotiate, Attorney Wu will help us settle it!”
Right after Yuan Xuan was done talking, Wu Huai made a soft grunt with his nose and gave Wu Ze an ‘I knew that you were a henchman’ look…
Wu Ze shrugged and shook his head helplessly.
…
Half an hour later, Zhao Ruoxin followed behind Wu Ze with an extremely aggrieved look on her face and walked out of the interrogation room.
An elegant man was sitting with his legs crossed inside Captain Wu Huai’s office, sipping the tea that Wu Huai made personally. The immeasurable force field generated by the two men staring at each other illuminated the dim office.
Wu Huai reacted very calmly as he watched his greatest suspect being taken away as if nothing had happened.
“Third Young Master, I’ll be frank with you today. If we find any more evidence to prove that this case is related to Miss Zhao, we might need to trouble her to come over to assist the investigation!”
Yuan Xuan’s dark pupils contracted slightly and he had a smile on his face as usual. It was indeed a smile that allowed no toleration.
“I will support Captain Wu! I’ll send you a huge gift tomorrow!”
As Yuan Xuan spoke, he nodded towards Ruoxin’s direction and gave her a signal to leave with Tian Qi first. Zhao Ruoxin was not willing to as she wanted to leave with Yuan Xuan. Nonetheless, she saw a cold rejection look on the man’s face.
After Zhao Ruoxin left, Wu Huai’s gaze suddenly turned sly and he said in an excited tone, “Third Young Master has some important clues about this case?”
“Oh? Captain Wu, when did I say that?” Yuan Xuan suddenly put on an arrogant look on his face, but he still acted rather modestly.
“Third Young Master, stop pretending. Just know you said that you have a huge gift for me!” Wu Huai smiled even more slyly and Yuan Xuan was getting a headache from watching him.
The man paused for a moment and said calmly, “The few hackers that you are tracing, they once hacked the system of Zhong Heng International and tried to retrieve classified information about the company. Therefore, they were marked by my subordinates and they found out their identities! I didn’t think that they were the same batch of hackers behind this poisoning case!”
Wu Huai was extremely excited after hearing that, so he stood up and walked around. He rubbed his palms together and asked eagerly with bloodshot eyes, “Third Young Master, do you have their address?”
Yuan Xuan nodded without any doubts, “I wanted to catch them personally and bring them to you tomorrow. If Captain Wu can do it, then I’ll just relax in joy!”
“Okay, there’s no need to trouble Third Young Master! I’ll send my people there!”
Wu Huai immediately gave an order to his subordinates as this matter should not be delayed any further. Zhao Ruoxin had been interrogated for two hours already, so they might have escaped.
“Rest assured, Captain Wu. I have people watching them, so they won’t be able to escape! But…”
Yuan Xuan paused and his gaze suddenly turned piercingly vicious. He then said in a ferocious and cold tone, “These people might be involved with the Mu Family. Captain Wu, do you understand what I mean?”
Wu Huai was stunned for a brief moment before understanding what he meant. Then, he said with a suppressed voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll explain to Mrs. Yuan.”
