"The driver, Yang Kui, made the call for a total of three minutes and twenty seconds. Xie Zhaoyuan was taken away within about three minutes of the call starting."

Chen Jingxuan stood in front of the command vehicle and showed Pei Xingzhi the retrieved surveillance footage.

“Our police selected surveillance footage from the corresponding time period and captured two unlicensed vehicles in the alley at the intersection. One of the vehicles belonged to a resident of the alley, while the other was from out of town and was using a fake license plate.”

"Therefore, I deduce that Xie Zhaoyuan was probably taken away by this car."

"..." Pei Xingzhi clenched his fists, and the air pressure around him dropped rapidly.

Chen Jingxuan patted his shoulder and said softly, "I've already dispatched police to search for this unlicensed car along the streets starting now. The road conditions are bad tonight, he won't be able to leave Yuncheng in such a short time. Don't worry too much."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Chen," Xie Mingyi said sincerely.

Chen Jingxuan waved his hand: "Don't linger here. Come back to the police station with me to cooperate with the investigation. This is a missing person case at best, and a kidnapping case at worst. Every second we delay, Xie Zhaoyuan will be in more danger."

“Okay.” Xie Mingyi grabbed Pei Xingzhi’s arm and dragged him into the car.

The Yuncheng City Public Security Bureau was particularly lively tonight.

A dozen people sat around in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau, going into offices one by one to cooperate with the investigation.

"It was definitely Qin Sisi who did it! It was definitely her!" Duan Jialu clenched her fists, her eyes red with anger. "She's the only one in the entire Yuncheng who sees our Da Hua as a thorn in her side! She must be jealous of Da Hua's happy family and successful career, so she wanted to ruin Da Hua!"

"Damn it, I'm going to grab her right now and slap her to death!"

"Calm down!" Jiang Mian hooked her arm around her neck and pressed her down on the cold iron chair, her eyes still brimming with tears. "Although Qin Sisi is a strong suspect, it's not necessarily her fault."

“Lu Yibai has already abandoned her, she shouldn’t have the guts to do such a criminal thing.”

Song Yihuan continued, "Moreover, the Qin family has recently been embroiled in a scandal involving an unfinished building, and the internal situation is already a mess. She doesn't have the energy to scheme against Zhaozhao."

"...If it wasn't Lu Yibai, and it wasn't Qin Sisi, then who else could have kidnapped my sister-in-law?" Pei Lingxuan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then wiped them onto Lin Jiahe's sleeve.

"It's Qin Wushuang."

Pei Xingzhi sat behind the long table and said calmly but firmly to Chen Jingxuan, "It's Qin Wushuang, Qin Wushuang from the Qin Group."

"Isn't he Xie Zhaoyuan's ex-brother?" Chen Jingxuan frowned. "Why do you think it's him?"

Pei Xingzhi gritted his teeth, his fair chin trembling noticeably under the glaring light.

Chen Jingxuan: "Xingzhi, what was Qin Wushuang's motive for kidnapping Xie Zhaoyuan?"

Pei Xingzhi raised his hand to take off his glasses, staring at Chen Jingxuan with red eyes: "...Qin Wushuang likes Xie Zhaoyuan."

"...What?" Chen Jingxuan's expression changed slightly.

Pei Xingzhi repeated, slowly and deliberately, "Qin Wushuang likes Xie Zhaoyuan. She already liked her when she was still Qin Song."

Chen Jingxuan lowered his sharp eyebrows, somewhat incredulous: "...You mean, Qin Wushuang likes her own younger sister?"

“Yes.” Pei Xingzhi’s tone was filled with intense hatred. “He loves his own younger sister.”

"Where's the evidence?" Chen Jingxuan asked.

Pei Xingzhi: "...I have been in two car accidents, but both were related to Qin Wushuang. You can directly access the files of the branch police station for verification."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingxuan immediately gave the policewoman next to him a wink.

The policewoman understood and quickly went out of the office to retrieve the files.

Five minutes later, she returned with two light blue folders.

"Director Chen." She placed the folder in front of Chen Jingxuan and then stepped back.

Chen Jingxuan glanced at Pei Xingzhi before picking up the folder to look at the information inside.

Pei Xingzhi waited patiently with a gloomy face.

"Snapped--"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Jingxuan finally put the folder down.

"Both of these car accidents were indeed related to Qin Wushuang, but one was a suspicion and the other was a coincidence. We can't determine Qin Wushuang's motive at all."

Pei Xingzhi: "Qin Wushuang has only one motive."

“He likes Xie Zhaoyuan, and he wants to take Xie Zhaoyuan away from me. He told me this himself.”

"He said it himself?" Chen Jingxuan frowned. "You mean, Qin Wushuang admitted to you personally that he liked Xie Zhaoyuan?"

“Yes.” Pei Xing’s voice trembled. “He not only admitted it to me personally, but he also openly confessed his feelings to Xie Zhaoyuan. But Xie Zhaoyuan found him disgusting, so she slapped him.”

"Moreover, the second car accident was not a coincidence, but a malicious plan. He wanted me to die 'accidentally' in a car accident, and then take Xie Zhaoyuan away from me in a logical way."

Now that things had come to this, Pei Xingzhi had nothing left to hide. He recounted the details of the two car accidents, Qin Wushuang's stalking of Xie Zhaoyuan, and her encouragement of Xie Zhaoyuan to divorce.

Although he couldn't provide any evidence for these things, saying them would at least increase Qin Wushuang's suspicion and give Chen Jingxuan enough reason to investigate Qin Wushuang.

Chen Jingxuan listened attentively to what he had to say, and immediately sent someone to contact Qin Wushuang.

Meanwhile, in the lobby outside the office.

Shen Yanhui stood alone in the corner, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

"Shut up!!" she screamed inwardly, her eyes red. "Shut up!"

[Host, what are you doing?]

The mechanical female voice had a half-smile, a clear hint of sarcasm in its tone.

Xie Zhaoyuan has been kidnapped, and Pei Xingzhi is now alone! Even Heaven is giving you a chance, why don't you seize it?

Shen Yanhui bit her lip tightly: "Xie Zhaoyuan is only temporarily missing, not dead. What are you so smug about?"

【Hahahahaha! 】

The mechanical female voice chuckled sinisterly: "If Xie Zhaoyuan can disappear without a trace, she can also die out there without anyone noticing."

[Host, there's an item in the system's exchange shop called the Yellow Springs Drink. Once you've earned enough favor points and obtained it, I can ensure Xie Zhaoyuan can never return.]

Shen Yan replied, "I can't earn that much goodwill, and I won't exchange it for this item."

The mechanical female voice completely ignored her words and continued on its own: "The Yellow Spring Drink is colorless and tasteless. If Xie Zhaoyuan only drinks a tiny bit, she will die within three days due to various accidents. Once she dies, you, the host, will be all alone by Pei Xingzhi's side. Aren't you truly tempted?"

"..." Shen Yan glared fiercely at the void, but said nothing.

The mechanical female musician relentlessly tempted her: "If you drink the Yellow Springs Elixir, Xie Zhaoyuan's death will appear to be an accident, and the host will not be suspected of anything."

Don't you really want to give it a try?
