Wen Xinya exited the interrogation room while Wang Hanjie followed closely behind her, no longer putting on the airs as he had done at the start. Instead, he was acting as if he was stepping on eggshells.

Wang Hanjie had been holding his position for five years and had set his sights on replacing the Chief of the Southern District Police Station who was about to retire soon. His brother-in-law, Jiang Wenzhe, greatly doted on his niece, Jiang Yuqian. Hence, Wang Hanjie definitely would not let himself miss the opportunity to suck up to Jiang Yuqian.

Thus, he decided to stand up for Jiang Yuqian after hearing that she was frequently bullied by Wen Xinya. At the start, he thought to himself, So what if Wen Xinya is the daughter of the Wen Family? She’s just an underage teenager. All I have to do is frighten her a little. Besides, I’m just going by the books and performing my duty. The Wen Family can’t blame me even if they want to. After all… Brother-in-law holds a high position in the central department. Civilians have no power to go against the government. The Wen Family can’t do anything to Brother-in-law even if they’re rich and powerful.

If I can please Yuqian, she might just put in a good word for me and I’ll get to rise to the position that I want.

That was the reason why he had decided to nitpick and find fault with Wen Xinya. But to his astonishment, Wen Xinya was not one to be trifled with and even threatened to call her lawyer.

Chu Jingnan was waiting for her outside the interrogation room. Upon sight of her, he asked worriedly, “Xinya, are you alright!?!”

Wen Xinya glanced at Chu Jingnan and quipped. “Thank you for your concern, President Chu. The police station is a safe place where policemen go by the books. What could possibly happen to me?”

She had deliberately emphasized on “go by the books”, giving Wang Hanjie the chills. He froze in shock and turned pale.

Chu Jingnan frowned and asked her softly while holding her hand, “Xinya, did the police make things difficult for you?”

Wen Xinya shrugged his hand away and clipped coldly. “We can talk, but don’t get all touchy with me.”

Angered by her aloof attitude, Chu Jingnan snapped. “Wen Xinya, do you really think you can be let off easily after being implicated in Jiang Ruoyin’s abduction? You’re being too naive!”

“What do you mean?” Wen Xinya asked in surprise. She initially thought that Jiang Yuqian had only informed the police of the conflict she had had with Jiang Ruoyin in the past. However, it seemed the case was far more complicated than she had thought.

Staring at her, Chu Jingnan said, “You’re the daughter of the Wen Family and the police would have to inform your family before bringing you to the police station. Besides, you’re underage. You’d have to be accompanied by a parent during investigations. They wouldn’t have just brought you here like this.”

“You mean, there’s more to this case?” Wen Xinya asked, suddenly overwhelmed with an ominous feeling. She was too preoccupied with finding out the truth behind the matter and failed to realize the bigger problem.

Chu Jingnan lowered his voice and said, “Wang Hanjie is Jiang Yuqian’s uncle-in-law, and he only got to where he is today because of the connections he has with Jiang Wenzhe.”
