Lu Zechuan left the Song Family and didn't return to the Lu Family; instead, he went to the police station.
Uncle Sun was clever; the police he brought were all acquaintances, and the team leader was his cousin, Lu Zeming.
Lu Zechuan personally came to the police station, and Lu Zeming was so surprised that he spat out the tea he had just drunk.
"Are you bored? Isn't the company's business enough for you to handle?" Lu Zeming really couldn't understand why Lu Zechuan had the leisure to meddle in other people's affairs!
"I told you, I'm looking after that kid." Lu Zechuan's voice was low, but his tone was indisputably commanding, "Take me to see those people."
Lu Zeming looked troubled, "This isn't according to protocol."
Lu Zechuan chuckled, "Then do you want to handle the company's matters? While I pursue my dreams?"
Lu Zeming immediately felt awkward, "Breaking the rules once in a while isn't impossible!"
Lu Zeming compromised; his dream was to be a justice-upholding police officer, not to go home and inherit the family fortune!
In the interrogation room, the lead kidnapper was dejected, drooping his head, with blood at the corner of his mouth, looking like a frost-beaten eggplant.
When he saw Lu Zechuan and Lu Zeming entering, he didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Since being caught, he's been like this, like he's lost his soul." Lu Zeming sat in front of the interrogation table, rubbing his temples with some headache.
Daring to kidnap near the university town, these people must have had a cougar and leopard's courage, not seeing them in their eyes at all! Could they tolerate that?
After returning, he and his colleagues interrogated these people, but unfortunately, they all had vacant eyes, drooling, each looking like they had Alzheimer's.
Lost their soul, Alzheimer's?
Lu Zechuan was pensive, recalling the scene of rushing into the abandoned factory, the person crushed under the main gate, and the kidnappers' boss's madness, all seemed undeniably strange.
"I need to find someone else to come." Lu Zechuan pursed his lips, inexplicably thinking of Xia Mian.
Although just an eighteen-year-old girl, she seemed to exude maturity beyond her age.
Moreover, that girl seemed to understand things that science couldn't explain.
Lu Zeming frowned, feeling troubled, "Bro, letting you participate already breaks the rules, and you're bringing someone else over, isn't this making it hard for me?"
Lu Zechuan crossed his legs, leisurely glanced at him, "Why would I make it hard for you? I truly want to help you!"
Lu Zeming was silent for a while, looked at the bewildered people in front of him, and finally sighed as if accepting his fate, "Alright, I can only get you half an hour."
Lu Zechuan responded faintly, got up and left. After bumping into Xia Mian, he had kept her contact information.
Now looking for Xia Mian wasn't difficult.
Receiving Lu Zechuan's call, Xia Mian didn't delay for a moment, taking a taxi directly over.
Lu Zeming welcomed Xia Mian at the door, and on the way to the interrogation room, Lu Zeming briefly explained the situation to Xia Mian.
Regarding this situation, Xia Mian wasn't surprised at all.
The spell she cast wasn't so easy to break?
Xia Mian's composure surprised Lu Zeming a bit, after all, she was a young girl, facing the kidnappers who kidnapped her, and yet she was so calm?
This astonishment elevated when Xia Mian entered the interrogation room.
Because as she sat across from the kidnapper, without needing her to speak, the kidnapper began to confess, "We were hired by someone who gave us a million, instructed us to kidnap you, and promised another million once done."
The kidnapper's eyes remained vacant, and his voice carried a mechanical tone.
"Who ordered you to kidnap me?" Xia Mian's fingers gently tapped the table, producing a rhythmic thud like a spell.
The kidnapper showed a trace of pain and struggle on his face, instinctively holding his head, "I don't know! The other party only contacted us unilaterally."
Xia Mian lowered her eyes; she suspected her scumbag father was causing trouble, but now, she had no evidence.
"Since the kidnapping has been established, this person being sentenced is a foregone conclusion." Lu Zeming closed the case file, "Miss Xia, we'll notify you again if you are needed to testify in court during sentencing."
Xia Mian nodded, slowly rising from her seat.
As she stood, she caught a glimpse of a dark ink-like patch on the kidnapper's forehead, which was a sign of ancestral sins, harming many, about to backfire on his descendants.
"What did your ancestors do?" Xia Mian asked inadvertently.
"My grandfather and father were drivers... driving heavy trucks..." the kidnapper answered groggily.
Xia Mian's mind buzzed, and suddenly something came to her.
"Thirteen years ago, did your father run over someone?" Xia Mian pressed her hands against the table, her gaze suddenly sharp.
The man responded mechanically, "Yes, he ran over a couple; after that, our family suddenly had money..."
Xia Mian's heart skipped a beat; if her guess was correct, then this kidnapper's father might very well be the one responsible for killing her grandparents!
"What's your father's name?" Xia Mian's voice echoed in the man's ear, like a curse.
The man's expression was dazed, and his mouth responded before his brain, "Sun Jin."
Xia Mian lifted her head, turned to look at Lu Zeming, "I suspect something sinister is behind his father's hit-and-run case years ago. Would you investigate this?"
Lu Zeming's expression was serious; an incident from thirteen years ago wasn't easy to investigate.
"I can help you investigate." Lu Zechuan suddenly spoke, his voice steady and confident.
Xia Mian turned back, meeting Lu Zechuan's bright, star-like eyes, "Thank you."
Lu Zechuan lightly curled his lips, "No need to be polite."
If anyone needed to thank someone, it should be him thanking her.
Without her hair tie and amulet, he wouldn't be standing here in one piece.
"I'll give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest." Lu Zechuan stood up and made a call after stepping out.
A moment later, he returned, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Xia Mian responded, leaving with Lu Zechuan.
As soon as she left the door, Xia Mian's phone rang.
Xia Mian answered, and the anxious voice of the principal came from the other end, "Student Xia Mian, I've arranged the professor's assessment for you. If you can perfectly complete their assignment, I can make an exception and let you graduate early."
Xia Mian lowered her eyes, curling her lips into a smile, "Thank you for going through the trouble, Principal."
"You want to graduate early?" Walking side by side with Xia Mian, Lu Zechuan raised an eyebrow; he wasn't far from Xia Mian and heard everything on the call.
"Yes, the Song Family's company has been under Xia Jianguo's control all these years. Since my mom is divorcing him, I need to take the company back." Xia Mian didn't hide a thing.
