Anning ultimately did not stay for dinner.
It wasn't because there weren't enough seats, but because Anze suddenly offered to treat her to dinner, and at that luxurious five-star hotel in Jinghai, known for its expensive and delicious food.
It's not that family meals are bad, but rather that gourmet meals offer better value for money.
But when An Ning suddenly suggested that she would bring a friend along, An Ze's expression changed abruptly. "Which friend? Your boyfriend?"
"No, just ordinary friends," An Ning replied casually. Only after she and An Ze walked out the door did she realize that Jiang Yu hadn't parked the car at all, but was waiting outside in the car.
His eyes would occasionally glance towards the front door of the An family's house.
He was clearly in a hurry, but he didn't make a move and just waited there.
He waited until An Ning and An Ze walked past before opening the car door and getting out. "And who is this?"
He was asking about Anze's identity.
An Ning didn't hide anything, "Oh, my brother."
The brother who came from the An family... he must be her biological brother, right?
Jiang Yu thought this to himself, but still asked unnecessarily, "Do they have the same parents?"
Even An Ning frowned when she saw the jacket. "Otherwise what? My adopted brother from outside?"
"Is it okay if he treats us to dinner? It's the same whether he treats us or I do."
"Okay, sure."
-
The meal was unpleasant. Jiang Yu's expression was not good from beginning to end, while An Ze had a bright smile on his face from beginning to end, as if he had won a battle.
As for An Ning, she didn't go to the police station in Jiang Yu's car, but in An Ze's car.
According to Anze, he was just bored and had nothing better to do, so he was happy to give it away.
Since he had said so, An Ning certainly wouldn't refuse, so she let An Ze take her to the police station to give a statement.
As for why she came to the police station, Anze didn't say a word or ask Anning what had happened that made her make a special trip to the police station.
Instead, he dropped Anning off and went straight back.
She didn't say a word more than necessary, and her sense of propriety was excellent, which made Anning feel comfortable.
Although he wouldn't tell me even if I asked, it's definitely much more pleasant to deal with people who aren't very curious.
However, Jiang Yu's complexion didn't seem to be very good.
An Ning assumed it was a family problem and didn't ask any further questions. After Jiang Yu arrived, she followed him inside.
When Anning entered the police station, she discovered that the situation inside was far from optimistic.
Everyone looked anxious, as if they had something urgent to deal with, but couldn't handle it properly in the short term.
An Ning frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed and stopped a familiar face. "Officer Feng, I'm here to give a statement."
"The people in the police station seem very anxious... Is something wrong?" Anning asked again after finishing her business, but she knew she probably had no chance of knowing the answer.
As expected, Feng Lin showed a helpless expression. "I'm sorry... we can't disclose any information about the case until it's resolved. I hope Miss An can understand."
Her question was met with a refusal to answer.
An Ning was not discouraged. She simply said, "Then take me to make a statement. I can leave after I'm done so as not to delay you from handling your urgent matters."
Seeing that An Ning didn't press the matter, Feng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxious expression on his face faded slightly. "I'll take you there."
The statement was taken quickly this time. The police officer in charge of the interrogation only asked a few key questions before letting An Ning and Jiang Yu leave.
Knowing she couldn't get any more information, An Ning left the police station without lingering.
But as she was leaving, she saw Feng Lin hurrying away from the police station.
If her guess was correct, Feng Lin was likely there to deal with this troublesome matter.
What kind of criminals would it be associated with?
Anning was very curious.
Therefore, she declined Jiang Yu's suggestion to go back to Fengchao together, saying, "I still have some things to take care of, you should go back first."
After saying that, she followed in the direction Feng Lin left, not even sparing Jiang Yu a second glance.
Watching An Ning's departing figure, Jiang Yu's face showed a somber expression.
-
An Ning didn't keep up with Feng Lin's pace in time, but that's okay, she turned on her cheat code.
Looking at the red dot in her mind that was only a few hundred meters away from her, An Ning revealed a triumphant smile.
We told her not to know, right? Then it shouldn't be a problem for her to find out herself, right? She's not interfering with their normal investigation; she just wants to find out.
Feng Lin must have left on a motorcycle. He wasn't going very fast. To make it easier for An Ning to follow him, she simply picked up a yellow bicycle from the roadside.
This kind of vehicle can go anywhere, making it perfect for situations like this.
After riding for about ten minutes, the red dot representing Feng Lin began to slow down, and that was the least crowded part of the Huangpu River bank.
Aside from outsiders who come here for sightseeing, no one ever comes here on ordinary days. So why would Feng Lin come here?
Someone fell into the water?
If someone fell into the water, the police wouldn't be in such a hurry. Cases where everyone is worried about the same thing are most likely... kidnapping!
An Ning's pupils contracted slightly, and her expression became excited.
Her kidnapping skills haven't been unlocked yet.
However, human traffickers and kidnappers do have something in common. The former kidnaps people and sell them directly, while the latter kidnap people and contact their families to ransom them. Comparing the two, the latter are much bolder than the former.
After all, if someone kidnaps another person and then brazenly demands money from the victim's family, it's no different than committing a crime right under the police's nose if the family reports it to the police.
She wanted to see who this audacious person was.
Maybe I can even take another banner home.
If she's lucky, she could learn how others kidnap, and use that knowledge in movies and TV shows.
Even before unlocking the skills, she directly grasped the essence of how kidnappers commit crimes.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Anning parked the yellow car on the side of the road and locked it, then walked towards the red dot not far away.
After sneaking forward for a few hundred meters, An Ning spotted Feng Lin's location.
He was hiding behind a clump of bushes, his body curled up, his eyes fixed on the front, his attention focused on the Huangpu River bank a hundred meters away.
An Ning looked at the position he was focusing on and roughly understood what was going on.
That was probably the meeting place agreed upon by the kidnappers and the victim's family.
Is it a cash-on-delivery transaction?
Her position is actually quite good.
Not only can she watch the whole thing unfold, but she can also ambush the kidnappers if necessary, thus becoming a good citizen of China.
An Ning hid diagonally below Feng Lin, where a huge landscape stone pillar stood, completely concealing her figure.
"Tsk, this kidnapper is really lame, isn't he? He just grabbed the person and left?"
