The following night, at exactly nine o'clock.
At this time, Qingzhou Public Security Bureau was unlike any other day. At the criminal investigation team's office, it was crowded, and orders were being passed down in an orderly manner.
"First squad, ready."
"Second squad, ready."
Chu Xue held the walkie-talkie, her expression serious as she continuously spoke.
Fu Qin was also visibly tense, pacing back and forth in the room.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan was sitting back in his chair with his legs crossed, munching on fruit, as if he was not the one who would be delivering the ransom but rather going to watch a play.
Chu Xue, observing Chen Yuan's demeanor, felt somewhat worried.
She suddenly felt that letting Chen Yuan go was a wrong decision, his casual attitude could lead to unforeseen problems.
But as things stood, all the plans had been made, and there was no way to change them temporarily. Chu Xue could only hope that Chen Yuan would follow the plan as arranged.
