Two police officers were involved in the questioning, one responsible for asking questions, the other for taking notesâ¦
âTell us about when you were kidnapped!â
Yuan Xinjie took a deep breath and began to speak slowly, âAfter Sizhe saw me back to my room that day, I prepared to take a bath and rest. Suddenly, I received a phone call from Director Shen Jue, saying there was a work-related matter that needed my attention.
Since my job was to assist Shen Jue, I didnât suspect anything.
But what I didnât expect was that not long after I arrived, I passed out.
At first, I did not understand why I suddenly collapsed; I hadnât eaten anything or even drunk anything. Later, I realized when I entered Shen Jueâs office that there was an incense burner lit. The scent of the incense was very strange, so that must have been the reason for my blackout.
When I woke up again, I was already in the small building, and I was completely drained of strength, unable to move or even speak.â
âDid they do anything to you?â This question made Sizheâs brow furrow deeply.
âHow can you ask such a question?â Sizhe interjected with dissatisfaction.
âItâs our duty, please understand!â the police officer explained patiently.
âItâs okay!â Yuanyuan took Sizheâs hand.
âAfter I was locked in the small building, I never saw Shen Jue again; I only saw that man. The reason he didnât do anything to me is that I am currently⦠on my period,â Yuanyuan hesitated before continuing, âThat man must have some kind of cleanliness obsession because of that, he didnât do anything!â
Listenting to this, Jian Dan couldnât help thinking that he had always found being a girl troublesome, with the monthly visit from âAunt Floâ. Unexpectedly, this once-thought nuisance had actually saved Yuanyuan at a critical moment!
Suddenly, he felt that the image of this ârelativeâ had grown a lot taller!
âDo you know anything about the girls locked in the basement?â
Yuanyuan shook her head, âI donât know because Iâve been in that room ever since I was kidnapped. So Iâm not very clear about whatâs happening outside!
No, thatâs wrong, I saw a girl once!â
âWhat did this girl look like?â
âShe was quite delicate, but her face was injured.â
âWhere did you see this girl?â
âIt was in the room where I was locked up. Because I was on my period, I needed regular changes, so that girl came to help meâ¦â Yuanyuan trailed off, too embarrassed to continue.
âThatâs enough, we have a fairly clear picture now.
Your testimony is consistent with one of the girls who was rescued!â
âWhat about you two? Tell us about the rescue process!â the officer turned to Sizhe and Jian Dan.
Jian Dan and Sizhe briefly described to the police how they entered the small building and carried out the rescue.
âGood, we have a general understanding now, thank you for your cooperation!â After taking their statements, the police officer leftâ¦
âYuanyuan, this is the first time Iâve realized just how useful âAunt Floâ can be!â Jian Dan said, laughing.
âJian, stop it~â Yuan Xinjieâs face turned red with embarrassment, and she tugged at Jian Danâs sleeve, looking down.
Jian Dan then remembered that Sizhe was still present.
âOkay, Iâll stop!â Jian Dan gestured as if zipping his lips.
âSister-in-law, you must be tired too. You should go home and rest early!â Sizhe said to Jian Dan.
At that moment, the three people who had been waiting outside returned to the hospital room.
âChu Liyuan, take your wife home quickly, sheâs had a tough day!â
âArenât you the same? How about this: you all go home and rest. Yuanyuan has me here!â Qin Rou suggested.
âItâs okay. How could I be tired when I see her safe and sound? Iâll take care of her; you guys go ahead!â
âSizhe, whatâs with this sudden dog-food throwing? What are you up to?â Jian Dan teased him.
âNo kidding! Itâs quite nauseating!â Qin Rou chimed in, stroking her arms.
âAnnoyed by the cheesiness but wonât leave? If you donât go now, itâs only going to get cheesier!â
âWhat could be cheesier than this?â
âAll right, you guys really should go!â Seeing that the pair seemed reluctant to leave, Sizhe started to push them, and they half-heartedly left the hospital room.
âFine, fine, weâre going! No need to push. Weâll leave you two to your sweet alone time!â Jian Dan glared at Sizhe before speaking.
Before leaving, Jian Dan could not resist giving one last piece of advice to Sizhe, âTake good care of Yuanyuan, okay?â
âDonât worry, I will take good care of her!â
From now on, he would take good care of her!
