At the same time, Zhou Tianyu, Xu Tongxuan, and Gu Junling rushed to the police station. Upon sight of Wen Xinya sitting on the couch, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xinya, are you alright? Why were you brought to the police station for no reason?” Zhou Tianyu frantically asked while walking towards her. She took a glance at Su Jinshan, Xia Ruya, Xia Ruxue, and Jiang Yuqian and could vaguely guess they had something to do with the matter.
Noticing that Wen Xinya seemed to be alright, Xu Tongxuan felt much more relieved and said, “Good that you’re fine. We were scared soulless when we heard that you were brought away by the police.”
Gu Junling said with a frown, “You didn’t break the law or commit a crime. Why were you brought to the police station?”
Wen Xinya finally found the chance to speak. “Jiang Ruoyin went missing and I was brought to the police station to assist in investigations because I had a major conflict with her in the past.”
“What? Jiang Ruoyin has gone missing!?!” Zhou Tianyu asked in disbelief.
Wen Xinya nodded without uttering a word.
Upon hearing the footsteps coming from outside the door, Wen Xinya looked at the door, only to receive a great shock.
It turned out to be Gu Yuehan!
Even Si Yiyan had been alarmed.
Wen Xinya placed an arm on her forehead.
Clad in a navy blue shirt and a tie, Gu Yuehan walked towards them together with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was extremely respectful and polite towards them. He spoke to them continuously while Gu Yuehan remained silent without uttering a single word.
Having recognized Gu Yuehan, Zhou Tianyu said with a slight frown on her face, “Why is that man whom we met at the hospital here?”
Wen Xinya kept quiet.
Gu Junling shot Wen Xinya a glance.
Seemingly extremely curious about Gu Yuehan, Xu Tongxuan tugged Zhou Tianyu’s sleeve and asked, “Do you know him, too? Who is he? He seems so mysterious!”
Zhou Tianyu described everything that had happened in the hospital to Xu Tongxuan.
The two of them entered. Upon sight of the middle-aged man, the policemen in greeted in shock. “Bureau… Bureau Chief!”
After showing the interrogation’s footage to Qiu Yifan, Wang Hanjie exited the room. The moment he saw the Bureau Chief, he hurriedly clasped his hands and greeted politely. “Bureau Chief, what brings you here today? Do you have any new instructions for us? Leave it to us to handle. I’ll definitely do a good job and meet your satisfaction.”
“Hmph!” Bureau Chief Li humphed in disdain towards Wang Hanjie.
Wang Hanjie’s face stiffened and he cursed in his head, All this old fogy does is look down on me and put on airs. One day, I’ll replace you and make you bow down to me.
Jiang Yuqian, Xia Ruya, and Xia Ruxue were shocked out of their senses. Is this the Bureau Chief of the Southern District? Is he here because of Jiang Ruoyin’s case? Seems like the Jiang family really commands a lot of power.
Su Jinshan clearly recognized who he was. Hence, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him. “Bureau Chief Li, I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect you to be alarmed about my daughter’s missing case.”
Su Jinshan extended her hand smilingly in a bid to shake his hand.
However, Bureau Chief Li looked at Gu Yuehan and said, “Mr. Gu, I can’t believe there are still people who’d go against the rules and bring Miss Wen to the police station forcefully. I’ll definitely give you an explanation for that.”
Everyone was shocked to hear Bureau Chief Li’s words. It turns out he was not there for Jiang Ruoyin’s case but rather, to stand up for Wen Xinya.
Who’s that man beside Bureau Chief Li? Why does Bureau Chief Li have to show him so much respect?
How did Wen Xinya have that much honor? Could it be because of Old Mr. Mo?
Wang Hanjie was flabbergasted, and his mind went blank after hearing the Bureau Chief Li’s words, which sent cold shivers down his spine. He finally realized that he had messed with the wrong person.
Greatly taken aback by what Bureau Chief Li said, Su Jinshan forgot to retract her hand. By the time she recovered from the shock, she discovered that she was stuck in a dilemma of whether or not to retract her hand. She froze in shock, at a complete loss for what to do.
She actually shamelessly thought that Bureau Chief Li had intervened on the account of the Jiang Family, and was trying to help expedite the investigations for Jiang Ruoyin’s case.
She was instantly overwhelmed with embarrassment, feeling as if she had never been so awkward before.
Gu Yuehan glanced at Wen Xinya before saying to Bureau Chief Li, “I’ve spoken to the Head Superintendent previously and I believe he has already instructed you to give me an explanation for this.”
Gu Yuehan’s words gave everyone a huge shock. They could not help but wonder who he was, for he could actually contact the Head Superintendent.
Wen Xinya knew that the Xiasi Group had always been in close contact and cooperation with the government and hence, they could communicate with the political leaders, what more a mere superintendent.
Bureau Chief Li broke out into cold sweat. Patting his forehead with a handkerchief, he said nervously, “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll definitely give you a reasonable answer for this.”
Gu Yuehan nodded and remained silent.
Bureau Chief Li hurriedly walked towards Wen Xinya and said softly, “Miss Wen, I’m very sorry about what happened. My subordinate was too careless to have put the blame on you and made you the prime suspect without any evidence or proof. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you an appropriate answer and explanation.”
Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me, Bureau Chief Li. You have lots of subordinates, and given how busy you are with supervising the entire Southern District, there are bound to be some subordinates who don’t act in accordance to the rules. I can understand.”
Wen Xinya did not bother saving any face for Wang Hanjie at all. Being sharp and intelligent, Bureau Chief Li knew exactly what she meant. He immediately glared at Wang Hanjie, who was staring at him, and said, “Hurry and apologize to Miss Wen.”
“Miss Wen, I’m sorry to have offended you because of my lack of sensitivity and awareness. Please be magnanimous and forgive me!” Wang Hanjie pleaded meekly, no longer as snobbish and haughty as he was just now.
Wen Xinya said coldly, “Don’t make it sound so serious, Chief Wang. My lawyer gets to decide what to do about the matter about you bringing me to the hospital for interrogations. It’s not for me to say.”
In other words, she would be pursuing the matter. Wang Hanjie turned as pale as a sheet and his legs turned into jelly, almost collapsing onto the ground. He had been through so much painstaking means to get to his position. In a few more years, he would become the Bureau Chief. However, he suddenly felt that all his dreams were turning to dust.
