As a victim, Shi Jing received good treatment at the police station, especially since she provided clear video evidence.
The police investigation into these individuals also points to human traffickers, but the reason why these people would go to remote construction sites to abduct people remains a mystery.
Construction sites are mostly filled with grown men; young women are a rare sight.
“They must have deliberately ambushed me there.” After describing the whole process, Shi Jing said her thoughts, “My recent activity patterns have been relatively fixed. There are usually a lot of people in other places, but the area outside the construction site is relatively remote. And those people can call me Xiao Jing, I don’t believe that it’s just a coincidence.”
If that old woman hadn't called her Xiao Jing, she probably wouldn't have thought so much. But that one call made her realize that these people must have come prepared.
"Okay, Ms. Shi. Thank you for your cooperation. We will contact you again if you have any questions."
After the statement was taken, Shi Jing was able to leave.
As soon as they stepped out of the interrogation room, they saw Su Jiujiu still sitting in the lobby, holding her child, with her husband standing guard a few steps away. It took Shi Jing over an hour to take her statement; Tang Bao had already fallen asleep.
Upon seeing Shi Jing, Su Jiujiu picked up her child, clearly they had been waiting for her. On the other side of the hall, another person stood up as she came out; it was Rong Yu.
"Sister Su, haven't you and Tang Bao gone back yet?" Tang Bao is still young, so the police could only ask about many things in general terms, which is why it didn't take long.
"Yes, Ms. Shi. I wonder if you could leave me your phone number? If it's convenient, we could get together sometime. Thank you so much for today."
Shi Jing didn't refuse; she really liked little Tang Bao: "Okay, Sister Su. If I have the chance in the future, I'll go play with Tang Bao."
As she spoke, she exchanged contact information with Su Jiujiu.
After saying goodbye, Su Jiujiu left with her child in her arms, while the child's father followed behind her with a nervous expression.
Shi Jing wasn't curious about whether the couple had any conflicts; that was someone else's family matter.
Rong Yu walked to her side. He hadn't interrupted when Shi Jing was talking to someone, and only spoke after they finished.
"Xiao Jing, have you finished giving your statement? Let me take you home."
Shi Jing was already used to getting along with Rong Yu, but today, she felt a little strange, perhaps because of Su Jiujiu's unintentional remark.
Realizing that something was wrong with him, Shi Jing rubbed his face to calm himself down before speaking to Rong Yu.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Rong Yu's car was parked in the parking lot outside the police station. The two of them went out and quickly walked over. He took two quick steps to open the door for Shi Jing and shielded her head as she got into the car.
Shi Jing did not refuse, but the injury on her arm forced her to be careful with her movements.
"Going straight home?"
"Let's go to the pharmacy first. I need to buy some gauze and wound medicine." The hospital prescribed some medicine, but because she needed to give a statement at the police station, she didn't get much. However, the doctor also said that they prescribed common medicines, which Shi Jing could buy at an outside pharmacy.
Rong Yu's gaze lingered on Shi Jing's wound for a moment, and he asked with some concern, "Is there anything I should pay attention to regarding the wound? Do we need to hire a caregiver?"
He actually wanted to volunteer to help, but there are differences between men and women, and there are some things he really couldn't do to help.
"No need, it's not that serious," Shi Jing quickly refused, seeing how worried he was, and wondering who was actually injured. She could only patiently reassure him, "It's just some external injuries, the doctor has already treated them. You just need to change the dressings regularly."
"Okay. I'll come over tomorrow or the day after and cook something for you. There are probably some foods you can't eat right now, so I'll keep that in mind when I buy the groceries."
"......"
Rong Yu was so proactive that Shi Jing didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble..."
"No, not at all. I happen to be free lately, so it's good to get away for a change of scenery, and I can also have a meal here," Rong Yu said with a smile.
Shi Jing felt that things might not be so simple, but she really had no reason to refuse, so after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, thank you for your help."

Because of his injury, Shi Jing hasn't been going to the company for the time being. He's having Miao Chen bring any matters that need to be handled to his home.
During this period, the agency was in talks with Lezi Video about a collaboration, and some documents required Shi Jing's signature.
Lezi Video is one of the four largest online streaming platforms. Recently, Lezi Video has acquired the rights to several dramas and released many characters. If Shiyun can collaborate with Lezi, not only will their artists see significant promotion, but the dramas will also have no shortage of streaming platforms after production.
More importantly, if the relationship between the two sides is good, it will be easier for Shiyun Films to broadcast its dramas on the platform in the future.
However, such a good thing is not only being eyed by Fortune Agency, but other agencies and artists are also very interested in it.
"Director Jin has invited the investment director of Lezi to dinner tonight to discuss the cooperation in more detail."
Shi Jing was supposed to attend this dinner, but since she's injured, she has no choice but to stay home.
"Tell Sister Jin to treat us well; the company will cover the expenses."
"Don't worry, little boss."
"Oh, by the way, tell Sister Jin to come over in the next couple of days when she's free. We need to discuss artist training. Now that the company has signed more artists, they need to start learning what they need to learn." Shi Jing suddenly remembered this.
The artists signed by the company in the early days were already quite good in terms of acting skills and talent. Whether they became popular depended only on exposure and luck. The company could focus its main efforts on marketing and promotion, and only needed to provide supplementary training in skills.
However, having just gone through graduation season, the company has signed many new talents, some of whom didn't even graduate from film school. It's not a good idea to debut these newcomers directly; doing so would only harm them. Skills training should be prioritized. Shi Jing's future plans originally included education; this is simply bringing it forward.
“Okay, I will confirm the time with Director Jin.” Miao Chen quickly wrote it down.
As the two talked, time passed by unnoticed, and then the doorbell rang at Shi Jing's house.
She went over to take a look, and the screen showed that Rong Yu had opened the door. She pressed the open button, then opened the door again before returning to her seat.
"It's been hot lately, so we'll prepare an ice maker and a freezer in the office. We'll also ask the administration department to ask the employees what kind of cold drinks and tea they would like, and then add those."
"good."
As they were talking, the door was gently pushed open, and Rong Yu walked in.
