Watching Brother Dao talk about those two ingrates, he looked furious and regretful,

Zhou Chen knew that Brother Dao had misunderstood, thinking that Zhou Chuan hadn't told the truth and had lied to him. But he didn't think so. After all, those two ingrates would be happy if he were dead, so they would definitely tell him everything.

but,

Zhou Chen did not intend to explain.

Let this misunderstanding continue.

In case he and Zhou Chuan bump into each other in prison one day, that would be fine too; he could teach Zhou Chuan a lesson again.

"Go to the factory quickly and rescue people."

Uncle Hat suddenly learned that Brother Knife had kidnapped two people, so he quickly called the others and headed to the abandoned factory.

Brother Dao didn't hide anything and honestly revealed the factory's location.

After all, if Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling starved to death, his crime would be even more serious, and it would all fall on his head.

Although he hated Zhou Chuan, he was clear-headed and knew what was more important.

The hat-wearing uncles headed to the abandoned factory. Zhou Chen didn't leave; he stayed at the police station, waiting for those two ingrates to be brought back.

Through Dao Ge's words, Zhou Chen learned the truth about why Dao Ge and his gang were targeting him: someone in prison was spreading rumors about him, saying how rich he was, and that person was none other than Zhao Kun, whom he had personally sent to prison.

Zhou Chen never expected that Zhao Kun would not stop even after entering prison, and would continue to cause trouble for him in prison.

Fortunately, he was more skilled and had a bodyguard like Tang Wu; otherwise, he might have fallen victim to Zhao Kun's underhanded tactics.

Calculate the time,

Zhao Kun should be out soon.

Zhou Chen frowned slightly, pondering how to get this guy back in.

On the other end,

Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling, the siblings, were so hungry they were dizzy and weak, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.

They felt they were about to die.

It's good that he's dead.

You won't have to suffer anymore if you die.

This was a shared thought in the minds of the siblings.

Not long after,

They felt like they were hallucinating, as if they saw Uncle Hat, who came to save them.

"No... do I... need to... die...?"

Zhou Chuan used a lot of strength to make a very small sound. At this moment, he vaguely heard, "Quickly untie them, save them, send them to the hospital."

When the siblings opened their eyes again

They found themselves in a hospital, with IV drips attached to their bodies.

So hungry...

Hunger struck again quickly, and the two were so hungry they wanted to die. When they saw the nurse, they cried out that they wanted to eat something. The two siblings felt that they could eat a whole cow at that moment.

However, a nurse's words shattered their hopes of indulging in a delicious meal. They could only drink water now, and if they wanted to eat, they would have to wait at least a day, and would still only be able to consume liquids.

This greatly disappointed the two of them.

"You're awake!"

Thanks to the IV drips, Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling both regained some strength and their bodies recovered somewhat, but their faces were still swollen and they had obviously gained weight.

Upon seeing Uncle Hat, the two wanted to know about the kidnapping of Brother Dao and his group. They had been rescued, and Brother Dao and his group's operation had most likely failed. However, they still wanted to know if Brother Dao and his group had hurt Zhou Chen or anything like that. If anything had happened to Zhou Chen, then their suffering wouldn't have been in vain.

However, what Uncle Hat said next left both siblings unable to hide their disappointment.

Zhou Chen was not only unharmed, but also completely unscathed.

“You should thank him. If he hadn’t insisted on seeing that person and asking him a few questions, we wouldn’t have known that you two were kidnapped. If we had found you two days later, you might have starved to death.”

Uncle Hat's words were completely ignored by Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling.

Should they be made to thank Zhou Chen?

How could that be!

If it weren't for Zhou Chen, their lives would never be as miserable as they are today.

If Zhou Chen had known they were kidnapped, he definitely wouldn't have gone to see Brother Dao. He's probably regretting his unexpected rescue right now.

They will never feel any gratitude towards Zhou Chen.

Uncle Hat took in the expressions of the two men and knew they hadn't taken his words to heart. Thinking of their past actions, a look of disgust flashed in Uncle Hat's eyes. How could there be such ungrateful people in this world? If it weren't for his profession, he would have loved to slap those two men across the face for Zhou Chen.

Take a deep breath and tell yourself that you must demonstrate professionalism.

Uncle Hat forced himself to calm down and asked again, "Next, I will ask you a few questions. I hope you will answer them seriously. Your answers will be used as evidence in court. The first question is about Mr. Zhou. Did you voluntarily disclose the information to those people?"

"Of course, we'd love for him to..."

Zhou Chuan snorted coldly as he spoke.

"Fourth brother, don't make things up. Uncle Hat, we don't know anything about that group. We only gave them our phone numbers because they forced us to."

Zhou Ling interrupted Zhou Chuan directly, while giving him a wink.

Zhou Chuan then realized that he couldn't admit it, otherwise they would become accomplices. He quickly coughed and said, "Of course we won't reveal any information. Although we don't get along with Zhou Chen, we know what we can and can't do. We won't do anything illegal."

These words were spoken with righteous indignation.

On the surface, Uncle Hat remained calm, but inwardly he scoffed at the answer.

If Zhou Ling hadn't interrupted him, he could have written down Zhou Chuan's words. Unfortunately, Zhou Ling reacted too quickly.

Uncle Hat was truly disgusted by Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan's past ungrateful behavior. He had reason to suspect that the two had contacted the kidnappers on their own initiative, given their level of ingratitude.

"Next, I'm going to ask one person a question, and the other person is not allowed to interrupt. Zhou Chuan, I'm asking you, did you know beforehand that the kidnappers kidnapped Mr. Zhou?"

"have no idea."

"No, you know, those guys have already confessed."

"Ah, I forgot, officer. You know I haven't eaten for three days, so it's normal that my brain isn't working properly."

Zhou Chuan said with a grin.

Uncle Hat looked serious and continued, "Since you knew, why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you notify Mr. Zhou Chen?"

“Officer, I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do. I was going to call the police, but before I could, I fell asleep because I was so tired. As a result, while I was sleeping, someone broke into our house and kidnapped us…”

Zhou Chuan made various excuses to deny any involvement in the matter.

At the ward entrance,

Zhou Chen clearly heard Zhou Chuan's explanation from inside the room. He never expected that this carefree guy would suddenly become smart and know how to downplay the issue.

Zhou Chen estimated that Uncle Hat wouldn't get any information from the subsequent questioning.
