Seeing Song Zhe so flustered, Captain Li knew that the situation was not simple, and hurriedly asked, "Don't be impatient, tell me slowly, what is going on?"

Song Zhe took a deep breath and told Captain Li the whole story. Captain Li frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "This is a serious matter. I'll send someone to investigate immediately! Don't panic. I'll notify you as soon as I have any news."

"Thank you, Captain Li!" Song Zhe was filled with gratitude, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Captain Li patted Song Zhe's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Between you and me, there's no need to thank me. Go back and wait for news. I'll send someone to notify you as soon as there's any progress."

Song Zhe nodded and left the yamen with a trepidation. He knew that now he could only rely on Captain Li, hoping that he could find Xiaoru's whereabouts as soon as possible.

Song Zhe walked alone on the quiet street, his brow furrowed and his steps heavy. He gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, "How could I be so useless that I couldn't even protect the woman I love?"

He walked and thought, and suddenly stopped. Song Zhe clenched his fists and said in a low and firm voice: "Power. With power, no one dares to hurt the people around me. Cheng Rongrong, just wait, I won't let you go."

Song Zhe pushed open the door with a gloomy face, and a cold breath followed.

When Mother Song heard the noise, she rushed forward, her face full of anxiety: "Zhe'er, what's going on? Any news?"

Song Zhe didn't answer his mother, but walked straight to Song Qingqing. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he said coldly, "Tell me what happened in detail. I want to know the whole story."

Song Qingqing was frightened by her brother's aura and trembled all over. She stammered, "Brother...Brother, I..."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Song Zhe shouted sternly, with an unquestionable command in his voice.

Song Qingqing trembled all over under Song Zhe's stern gaze. She swallowed, her eyes wandering, and said in a trembling voice: "After we separated today, I... I suddenly had to pee urgently, so I asked Chen Xiaoru to wait for me at the entrance of the academy."

She paused, as if recalling the details, and then continued, "On the way, I met Sister Rongrong. She asked me why I came to town, and I told her that I came with you and Chen Xiaoru."

Song Qingqing lowered her head, her fingers twisted nervously together. "Then I left to go to the bathroom. When I returned to the academy gate, I saw Chen Xiaoru still there. She suggested going to buy you some clothes."

Her voice gradually became smaller and smaller, almost becoming a whisper. "But on the way... Chen Xiaoru was suddenly knocked unconscious and taken away. I... I..."

When Song Qingqing said this, her voice choked and tears welled up in her eyes. She was obviously frightened.

Song Zhe narrowed his eyes and said in a low and dangerous voice: "It was Cheng Rongrong who ordered someone to knock Xiaoru unconscious."

Song Qingqing shuddered, lowered her head, and nodded gently: "Yes. When I came back, I asked where Chen Xiaoru was. Sister Rongrong said she would send her back later, so I came back first."

After hearing this, Song Zhe's expression suddenly changed. He clenched his fists unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.
