Chapter 75 Going to Find the Witness
Whether it's genuine or just a publicity stunt, we need to find this person.

"I understand, Mr. Gu."

However, Wei Zhou didn't find the specific IP address first; instead, Jiang Ciyu did. He sent a message to Song Jin'an, asking her to negotiate with the police and find out who left the message.

This was the last straw.

I've sent you the exact address. Remember to go with the police when you go; it'll be safer that way.

Looking at the message on her phone screen, Song Jin'an couldn't help but feel a little excited. So she contacted the police. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the police sent her a message saying that they had noticed the post half an hour ago and were contacting the person who posted it. They told her to wait patiently.

However, two hours later, the message was proactively deleted, and the account was also canceled.

Song Jin'an had already provided the police with a specific address, requesting that they take her there, but this message never received a reply.

Having no other option, she contacted Jiang Ciyu again, only to be told that high-ranking police officials were pressuring the officers handling the case to assign responsibility to Song Jin'an, with Su Ruoya as the victim.

Song Jin felt completely relieved, and even lifting her feet felt extremely heavy.

Haicheng has been hit by another typhoon recently, and the weather has been quite bad, with torrential rains lasting for many days.

She wanted to go by herself, but she couldn't drive. Gu Xijue's face appeared in her mind. She bit her lip, but she knew that he would never stand on her side.

Therefore, Song Jin'an had no choice but to place his hopes on Jiang Ciyu and sent him a message. He originally thought it would be ignored, since it was none of his business. Moreover, the bigger the commotion, the more the Jiang family could reap the benefits.

To her surprise, Jiang Ciyu sent an "OK" gesture and a location, saying they would meet there.

Once Song Jin'an got into Jiang Ciyu's car, her first reaction was to gesture "thank you."

Jiang Ciyu was driving and looked at the weather, which had cleared up. He said to her, "There will be thunderstorms at 8 p.m. It's 4 p.m. now, so we have three and a half hours left. We need to use the remaining half hour to evacuate."

The IP address we found was located in Haicheng City, about 10 kilometers from the port. Given the weather and the possibility of a typhoon making landfall at any time, we should evacuate as soon as possible.

Song Jin'an nodded and played the message on her phone: "I understand, and thank you, Mr. Jiang."

The car sped along the road, and a light rain began to fall. Song Jin'an was startled, but the rain stopped shortly afterward.

Her furrowed brows eased slightly at this point. An hour later, they arrived at the approximate location of the IP address. It was a small fishing village, completely incomparable to the hustle and bustle of the coastal city.

This is just a village, not a town.

Jiang Ciyu told her, "The final location is in this village. She shouldn't have moved yet, and the IP address hasn't changed."

Song Jin'an nodded. As long as this person could be found, there was a possibility that someone could prove her innocence.

If she doesn't come forward and find this person to prove her innocence, her innocence will be forever buried. So she can only save herself; she can't rely on anyone else.

"Then how should we find it, by knocking on doors one by one?" The phone played this message.

Song Jin'an had a question mark in her mind. At the moment, she only had this one thought, and it seemed that this was the only way.

“This is the only way, but fortunately there aren’t many households in this village.” Jiang Ciyu agreed with her suggestion.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a video call from Gu Xijue, but she didn't want to answer. She knew it would just lead to an argument, and time was short; she didn't want to waste it on pointless bickering. So she hung up. Jiang Ciyu raised an eyebrow: "It was Gu Xijue calling, why didn't you answer?"

His tone carried a hint of sneer, as if he didn't think highly of Gu Xijue, which had a rather meaningful feel to it.

Song Jin'an shook her head without saying anything, and walked towards a villager's house. Jiang Ciyu watched her back, his face slowly darkening, and followed her.

……

On the other side, Gu Xijue, whose phone had been hung up on, frowned deeply. He hadn't seen her at home, and after piecing together a series of events, he belatedly discovered that she was already on her way to find someone.

This crazy woman actually dared to go looking for someone all by herself. Her brow was tightly furrowed; didn't she know it was going to pour rain tonight? She's truly insane!

He was furious at Song Jin'an's irresponsible behavior and quickly called the police handling the case again, asking them to come along as well.

Wei Zhou was driving, and the car was speeding along the highway. However, the sky was very low, covered with dark clouds, giving the feeling that the sky was about to collapse.

With a tap of the accelerator, the car sped up even faster, and in less than an hour, it came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the small fishing village.

At this moment, an SUV with a city license plate was already parked at the entrance. Gu Xijue had seen this car before; the license plate with five eights belonged to Jiang Ciyu.

Gu Xijue's face immediately turned ashen, and even Wei Zhou, who was standing next to him, felt a chill run down his spine, thinking to himself, "Isn't this the car of Jiang Ciyu, the young master of the Jiang family? Did Madam come with him?"

Thinking of this, he glanced cautiously at Gu Xijue's ashen face and instantly realized he was doomed.

I could only silently pray that my wife wasn't there. At that moment, it started to drizzle again, and it seemed to be getting heavier. In an open space, there were more than a dozen elderly people wearing raincoats gathered together, with young people directing them. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that town officials were there to lead the villagers to the town for safety.

The rain will get heavier and heavier. According to the latest weather forecast, the typhoon will make landfall as early as tonight.

"Mr. Gu, your wife isn't among this group." Wei Zhou looked around and saw no one.

Gu Xijue's face was contorted with rage, and his fierce eyes seemed to want to kill.

"Search house by house!"

……

Song Jin'an searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. Most of the people in this village were elderly people who stayed behind, and there were basically no young people.

Some were left-behind children, with only their grandparents and grandchildren at home. Two and a half hours passed, and the rain was getting heavier, but they still found nothing.

Immediately afterward, a loud bang echoed in the sky, making Song Jin'an shudder. The weather was far worse than she had imagined. The villagers began to leave one after another, urging Song Jin'an to hurry up and leave as well, warning that her life would be in danger if she stayed any longer.

"Let's go back." Jiang Ciyu looked up at the dark sky, occasionally accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

Song Jin'an looked at another house in the distance and gestured with his hand.

—Give me five minutes, I want to go and take a look at the last one.

Five minutes won't make a difference, so Jiang Ciyu nodded and said, "I'll go with you."
