Qing Lu's live stream quickly spread across the internet. However, with the police force being in disarray all day, all the officers were too busy to notice that Jin Tianliang had escaped the police station just a minute ago.
Chu Muhan was furious. Ignoring any need for discretion, she stormed into the office area to check the surveillance footage.
"Chu Captain, the surveillance camera outside the main entrance seems to be malfunctioning. It has been stuck for the past hour... Oh? It's working now!"
"So, nothing was recorded in the past hour?"
"I'll check... Captain Chu, it's irretrievable. There is no surveillance data from the past hour..."
Chu Muhan furrowed her brow. "Pull up all surrounding surveillance footage! If you don't find him, check all suspicious vehicles that passed the police station a minute ago!"
With that, the beautiful police officer called over two nearby officers and ordered, "Get Qing Lu back here immediately!"
Just then, the chief of the police station walked over with an apologetic expression. "I've already sent someone. You're really a 'desperate person,' never resting! Go to the office and take a break. If the director sees you, you'll get scolded again."
Chu Muhan pouted. "I don't know when that Buddha will leave... Everyone in the station is uncomfortable with him here."
The chief smiled and whispered, "This incident has caused such a commotion in the city; how could he not come? Moreover, he's here to escape the hustle and bustle. You think that with this kind of trouble, your Chu family wouldn't come asking him for help? He's enjoying tea here, turning off his phone, and not offending anyone openly, just waiting for things to settle down."
Chu Muhan sighed, then asked, "Captain, can I see Chu Yuxuan?"
"Uh... alright, but no more than two minutes. Don't make things difficult for me."
Chu Muhan nodded and went straight to the interrogation room.
Upon entering, she got straight to the point. "Chu Yuxuan, is it your people who messed up the surveillance at the entrance?"
Chu Yuxuan pretended not to understand. "What are you talking about?"
Chu Muhan took a deep breath. "The Qing Lu who accused you has just changed her statement, now pointing the finger at Jin Tianliang with concrete evidence. Jin Tianliang has already fled... Chu Yuxuan, has he fallen into your hands?"
Chu Yuxuan shook his head with a smile. "My dear sister, why do you always involve me in everything? He must have fled in fear of his crimes!"
"Chu Yuxuan, I'll tell you again, don't cause trouble!"
"I'm just sitting here. How can I cause trouble?"
Chu Muhan took a deep breath, looking skeptical. After a moment, she changed the subject. "I've sorted through the information provided by Xia Zhu's mother an hour ago. There are two main points: one, you are suspected of using violence to resolve marriage issues; two, you are accused of insulting and coercing Xia Zhu into doing something that severely violated her will, leading to Xia Zhu's suicide. If the evidence for these two points is established, you could be sentenced to less than three years."
Chu Yuxuan shrugged. "What evidence could there be? Does getting married and divorced on the same day count?"
Chu Muhan said seriously, "It's not conclusive, but it can be considered evidence. The key point is that Xia's mother also submitted a few photos of you and Zhao Yanan getting married, but at that time, you hadn't divorced Xia Zhu yet."
Chu Yuxuan calmly sipped his tea, wondering which fool had been taking pictures. It wasn't hard to guess that these photos were likely provided by the Gao family. However, what significance could these so-called pieces of evidence have now? Chu Yuxuan smiled lightly. "The real drama is yet to come. Hehe... Who says Xia Zhu's death must be a suicide?"
Chu Muhan frowned, staring at Chu Yuxuan with a sudden uneasy premonition. She quickly left the interrogation room and said to the chief, "Send someone to bring Gao Ning back! No matter what, use any reason to keep him in our sight! Hurry!"
At this point, Gao Zhensheng was in a state of panic. He had finally found the manager, only for two unidentified people to intercept them.
The most critical issue was that as soon as the manager was kidnapped, his son went missing!
The old man's blood pressure was rising, and he was furiously on the phone with President Jin. "Haven't you found Ning'er yet?"
"Not yet. His car is parked on the side of South Ring Road, but he's not there. The people I sent said there was no sign of a struggle at the scene. Could it be... that he's hiding out of fear?"
"Impossible! I clearly told him to go to the dock, and a yacht was waiting for him!" President Jin impatiently said, "I don't know. Maybe wait a bit longer... Right now, the most important thing is to deal with Chu Zhqing. Don't mess things up!"
"Jin, you're so unscrupulous!" Gao Zhensheng snapped.
"Who told your son to be so stupid and leave evidence behind? Hmph... I haven't even blamed you yet!"
Gao Zhensheng knew this wasn't the time to argue. After calming down, he said, "President Jin, please contact your superiors and ask them to help find my son. I would appreciate it!"
President Jin replied, "Okay, I'll let them know."
He then hung up. Gao Zhensheng was furious. He called his driver and shouted, "Take more people and keep searching! I don't care what methods you use, but you must find Ning'er!"
He was at a loss about who could have taken Gao Ning. It was easy to guess that it was likely related to the two people who kidnapped the manager. Chu family members were currently focused on Chu Zhqing's issue. Even if they had time to look into Chu Yuxuan, it wouldn't be this quickly.
Moreover, if there was any disturbance in the Chu family, the second wife, that old widow, would have informed him. But so far, there had been no word from Chu Xiaotian about dealing with Chu Yuxuan.
If it wasn't the Chu family, then who? Qing Ya? It probably wasn't capable of this yet. He even considered the police, given that the manager had been kidnapped for an hour. Though there was no news online, it was possible that the evidence had already reached the police. However, through connections, he learned that his son wasn't in the police's hands.
He would never have guessed that Chu Yuxuan had several death-bound brothers to rely on. Nor could he imagine the tragic fate his son was currently enduring.
