âGot it.â Ye Wangchuanâs eyes were cold. His tone was calm, and one couldnât tell his emotions. âTl be right there.â
Cai Gang didnât dare to delay and immediately said, âYoung Master Ye, Iâll rush over as soon as possible. Donât worry. Iâve already informed the police station about Miss Qiao. They wonât make things difficult for her.â
Ye Wangchuan hung up.
Before he could put down the phone, the man in the front passenger seat asked him impatiently, âMaster Wang, how is it? Is Nian Nian okay?â
âSheâs at the police station. We donât know the details yet.â Ye Wangchuan placed his phone aside and suppressed his anger.
âDamn, why did she get sent to the police station?â Jiang Li scratched his head in frustration. His eyes reddened as he muttered to himself, âCould she be injured?â
Ye Wangchuan didnât speak. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes slightly as if he was resting. However, his left hand was on the prayer beads on his wrist as he fiddled with them quickly.
Those familiar with him knew that this was a situation that only occurred when his heart was extremely uneasy and his mood was very bad. After a long time, he said, âGu San, drive faster.â
âOkay.â Gu San was anxious as well. Not saying anything else, he just stepped on the accelerator. The black Phaeton was like an arrow leaving the bow. It didnât even care about the traffic lights on the road as it drove toward the police station.
At the police station.
The girl was sitting in the corridor outside. A jacket was casually placed on the bench beside her. The jacket was covered in dust, and it looked like it could no longer be worn.
However, she didnât seem to care. She took out a black, old model phone from her jacket pocket. The phoneâs outer casing did not have a brand logo or a phone casing. It looked very ordinary, no different from a random brand that could be bought with a few hundred yuan.
Qiao Nian turned on the phone and saw seven or eight missed calls.
âThey were all from Chen Yuan.
He had also sent her a lot of messages.
From WeChat to texts and QQ, he had searched all the software that could contact her.
{Sister Nian, why canât I reach you?]
[call me when you see this message.]
[Why did you switch off your phone? Donât scare me.]
âMmh.â Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and looked down at the message. Her curled fingers were slender and white. She knocked on the edge of her phone patiently a few times, as if in thought. After a while, she called Chen Yuan back.
âHello? Sister Nian.â When the call went through, Chen Yuanâs voice was like a string of firecrackers, fast and anxious. âYou finally called me back. Are you okay? Where are you now? Iâll look for you!â
Qiao Nian looked up and saw the police officers entering and exiting the police station. She smiled slightly, looking quite wild. âOh, Iâm fine. Help me tell Aunt Chen that I might not be able to go tonight. Iâll go eat there another day.â
âWhy do you care about eating now? Where are you? Iâll look for you!â Chen Yuan was anxious.
Qiao Nian watched as a policeman holding a notebook walked toward her. She raised her eyes and did not answer his question. âYou donât have to come. Iâm really fine.â
âButâ¦â
In the blink of an eye, the policewoman reached her. Qiao Nian held her phone and said calmly, âRemember to tell Aunt Chen for me. Also, donât talk nonsense lest she gets worried.â
âI know even if you donât tell me. I wonât tell herâ¦â
Chen Yuan still wanted to say something else, but Qiao Nian said simply, âThatâs all. âll hang up first. Iâl call you later.â
âSister Nian, Iâ¦â
Qiao Nian hung up the phone and put it down. She looked up at the policewoman in front of her and said calmly, âItâs my turn?â
The policewoman who was responsible for taking her statement: â
