The policeman asked Zheng Chu, “What’s inside?”


  “There’s evidence of my phone conversation with the bitch and my deal with the other employers.”


  “Why are you preserving this evidence?”


  Zheng Chu shrugged. The old man smiled wickedly. His eyes were narrowed and cold. He grinned and said, “If I die, I have to drag a few down with me, right?”


  …


  Chu Jian looked at Han Bing.

  Han Bing sat upright with a calm gaze that was like a pool of water.

  Chu Jian was quite surprised. He thought that when Han Bing saw this video, he would be shocked for a while. Chu Jian retracted his computer and added hot water to Han Bing’s cup. He said, “Secretary Han, have some tea.”


  Chu Jian was quite surprised. He thought that when Han Bing saw this video, he would be shocked for a while. Chu Jian retracted his computer and added hot water to Han Bing’s cup. He said, “Secretary Han, have some tea.”


  Chu Jian saw Han Bing’s hand passing through the handle of the cup several times but he did not hold it.

  Chu Jian looked up in shock and saw Han Bing’s teary eyes.

  “Secretary Han…” Chu Jian was shocked.

  He suddenly removed the cup of boiling hot tea from Han Bing’s hand. Han Bing’s hand was still touching it. Chu Jian grabbed Han Bing’s hand and shouted, “Secretary Han, wake up!”


  Chu Jian’s shout finally woke Han Bing up.

  He said in a daze, “I’ll be leaving first. Let’s talk next time.” Han Bing got up and walked to his left. Seeing that he was about to hit his desk, Chu Jian quickly grabbed his shoulder from behind. Han Bing turned around in a daze.

  Chu Jian guessed that he probably could not see himself too.

  Chu Jian calmed down and said to Han Bing, “Secretary Han, I’ll send you back.”


  Han Bing regained some consciousness.

  He hesitated before sighing. “Sorry. I’m a little out of it.”


  Chu Jian did not speak and only led Han Bing out.

  How was just a little out of it? It was as if he had lost his soul.

  In the car on the way home, Han Bing remained silent. Chu Jian sighed silently in his heart. To be honest, when he saw this interrogation video, Chu Jian had hesitated if he should hand this over to Han Bing. However, he thought that Secretary Han’s status was not ordinary. He had seen many big things. Even if he used to have a deep relationship with Miss Ji, that was decades ago.

  After so many years, he must have forgotten about it.

  Chu Jian did not expect Han Bing to lose his composure after watching a video.

  He personally sent Han Bing home and instructed Cai Jie to take good care of Han Bing before leaving. He still had to return to the police station. Their people had already gone to Binjiang City to arrest him.

  Han Bing did not close his eyes at all that night.

  He locked himself in the study room. Zheng Chu’s words kept replaying in his mind.

  Han Luofan and Cai Jie were very worried, so they naturally could not sleep.

  In the middle of the night, Han Luofan suddenly heard the sound of something being smashed from the study on the second floor. Han Luofan jumped out of bed and ran downstairs in only his pajamas. He ran to the second floor and saw Cai Jie standing at the door of the study.

  Like him, Cai was also wearing pajamas.

  The commotion in the house had stopped.

  The mother and son looked at each other and hesitated to knock.

  Han Luofan pulled his mother aside. He raised his hand and was about to knock when he heard a whimper coming from the house. Han Luofan’s expression changed slightly. His raised hand froze in the air. He looked down at Cai Jie.

  Cai Jie was also looking at him.

  “…Mom.” Han Luofan called Cai Jie softly and covered her mouth.

  Cai Jie shook her head at him.

  She said, “Child, let him vent.”


  When Han Luofan returned to his room, he could not fall asleep no matter what. At the thought that this series of changes was all brought about by Yuan Ting, Han Luofan felt terrible. The next morning, when Han Luofan woke up, he ran to the study room immediately. When he opened the study room, he did not see Han Bing or anyone else.

  Han Luofan pushed open the room of the master bedroom again. He was relieved to see Han Bing lying on the bed and curled up in a fetal position.

  He must have fallen asleep on the blanket directly. Cai Jie must have been afraid that he would be cold, so she put blanket on him. Han Bing’s leather shoes were neatly placed on the floor. He was wearing a pair of gray socks, which were now exposed to the air.

  Han Luofan tiptoed into the house and placed his father’s feet under the blanket. He stared at his father’s haggard face for a moment before walking downstairs.

  Downstairs, Cai Jie was actually not making breakfast. She was sitting on the living room sofa, watching television.

  Han Luofan walked over in surprise. Before he got close, he heard the name Yuan Ting. Han Luofan stopped in his tracks and looked up at the television screen. It was an entertainment news article. The emcee described what happened last night in a gossipy tone.

  A veteran movie star, Yuan Ting, was taken away by the police in her villa because she was suspected of kidnapping and trafficking women.

  Han Luofan froze on the spot, his lips trembling.

  Cai Jie heard the sound of breathing and turned around. When she saw Han Luofan, she quickly turned off the television. She forced a smile and stood up. She said to Han Luofan, “You’re awake? I’ll go cook.”


  Han Luofan did not say anything.

  Cai Jie went to the kitchen, but she was distracted and kept paying attention to Han Luofan’s movements.

  Han Luofan walked to the television, bent down, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television. The entertainment news no longer broadcasted news about Yuan Ting. He turned off the television and put down the remote control. As he sat on the sofa, he took out his phone and logged into Weibo.

  Unsurprisingly, the headlines on Weibo today were all filled with news of Yuan Ting being caught.

  The overwhelming reports made Han Luofan’s face hurt.

  …


  Ji Yinbing and Yan Nuo also saw the news the next morning.

  After reading the news, Ji Yinbing’s expression darkened. She did not eat breakfast and put on her jacket to go to the police station. Yan Nuo was worried and naturally accompanied her. When they arrived at the police station, the person in charge of receiving them was a young police officer called Gan Lin.

  Chu Jian only returned home to rest at dawn. Gan Lin was in charge of receiving them at the last minute.

  Ji Yinbing was the only orphan of the victim, so she was naturally qualified to see the suspect. When Ji Yinbing saw Yuan Ting, the woman in her sixties was sitting on a chair in the interrogation room. She was wearing a gray long knitted dress and a pair of knee-length boots of the same color.

  xShe was wearing a real diamond necklace around her neck. Her black hair was styled into curls in a lazy hairstyle. It was tied behind her head, revealing a charming face.

  She still had heavy makeup on her face. It was said that Yuan Ting had just finished her party and returned home when she was taken away.

  Yuan Ting was locked up for half the night. She was already a little tired, but she refused to confess.

  She remained calm until the door of the interrogation room was knocked. Then, the young police officer walked in with a beautiful woman. Yuan Ting immediately shouted as if she had seen a ghost. “Ji Yue!” Yuan Ting’s pupils constricted as she glared at Ji Yinbing.
