Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While the internet was abuzz, He Miao and Jing Yan were resting on lounge chairs in his office.
The sun outside was just right. It gently shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkled evenly on the two of them. It was warm and particularly comfortable.
Jing Yan held her in one hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a tissue in the other. Seeing the person in his arms move restlessly, he quickly stopped and even breathed softly.
When He Miao opened her eyes, she saw Jing Yan staring at her with his head lowered. “What time is it? Did I sleep for a long time?”
“Not long, only two hours.” Jing Yan helped her sit up and took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. “Did you rest well?” he asked. “Do you want to lie down for a while?”
“No, 1 don’t.” He Miao shook her head. She picked up her phone and opened the messages that Xu Meng had sent her anxiously. When she saw the link to the trending searches, she clicked on it.
She had only scrolled through a few nasty messages before Jing Yan snatched her phone away.
“Don’t look anymore. Drink some milk to wake yourself up.” Jing Yan did not want her to see this. Although he had expected this, he still could not help being angry.
He Miao did not take it to heart. In fact, she was secretly looking forward to the netizens* reaction when they found out the truth.
As she sipped on the sweet milk, she asked about the progress of the matter, “How’s the situation at the police station?”
Jing Yan spat out a mouthful of gargling water in front of the sink and said lightly, “I’ve already warned the network inspectors to pay attention to the problem of signal sources. This time, as soon as they released the news, although the signal only appeared for a short moment, they still successfully captured it.”
“Where is it?” He Miao was very concerned about this.
Finding the signal source could at least save the hostage first. Her reputation was nothing compared to the lives of two people, so she did not care what people on the internet were saying about her.
Jing Yan wiped his hands dry with a smile, then sat down beside He Miao and said slowly, “Where else could it be? Ren Zhong wouldn’t have hidden her in his own house.”
“What about Xu Ling?” He Miao’s brows were tightly locked together, her hands clenched into fists in worry.
Jing Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. “There’s no hurry. Let’s wait for the news from the police station. Once the two hostages are successfully rescued, our people will release the video. Other than that, 1 can also give He Wei and Ren Zhong a big gift.”
In the suburbs of the capital.
Ren Wei’s hands were held down by the police, and the glasses that were originally on his nose fell to the ground and were crushed. The ground was a mess, and there were traces of a fight everywhere.
Ren Wei’s mother, Yuan Ying, stood trembling in the living room, her eyes fixed on the captain of the criminal police team. “You, what right do you have to arrest my son? My son has never done anything bad!”
This house was given to Yuan Ying by Ren Wei’s father in the early days. He thought that she could live a good life with the head of the Ren family, but he died, leaving the mother and son with no one to rely on.
This house had become the only place where they could settle down.
Ren Wei was crying so hard that he did not know if he was regretting it or scared. His legs and stomach were spasming, and he had to rely on the strength of the police officers beside him to barely stand up and not kneel. “Officer, I didn’t do anything. Why are you arresting me?”
“You didn’t do anything?” The captain sneered and pointed at the glass behind him, which had obviously been broken by brute force. “Then who was that person sitting with you in the living room just now? And why is your computer logging into someone else’s account? Do you think we’re ail blind?”
“That’s my friend! It’s not illegal for me to borrow his computer!” Ren Wei argued for himself, but his mind was already in a mess.
He had been a coward since he was young and had never seen such a huge scene. Now that he was surrounded by a group of police, he was covered in cold sweat and shivered as he cried for his mother for help, “Mom, mom, please save me. I’m really innocent!” “Officer, do you want to investigate further? We are already pitiful enough, you really don’t have to come here and bully us.” Yuan Ying wailed in grievance. Although she was already a middle-aged woman, there were no wrinkles on her face, and she was not inferior to a young and beautiful girl.
However, the current captain of the criminal police was not moved. He snorted coldly and ordered his men to take Ren Wei away for interrogation.
Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Yuan Ying immediately blocked them. “No, do you have an arrest warrant? If you don’t have any evidence or an arrest warrant, you can’t take my son away! This is illegal!”
“You guys know the law?” The captain raised his eyebrows and walked in front of Yuan Ying.. He glanced at the account page on the table that had just been restored by the professional IT expert and smiled, “Illegal imprisonment is a serious crime, do you know that?”
