At first, Zhao Yanan didn't feel anything.
She believed that she had never done anything illegal, and even if someone from this department contacted her, they only wanted her to assist in the investigation.
It was not until she saw the men with guns outside the door that she realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
She was taken downstairs along with the manager of the Regent Hotel and several waiters, and placed in inconspicuous vans, which were driven all the way to a small building far away from the city center.
Along the way, Zhao Yanan was in a state of panic.
She dug out her memory of everything she had done in recent years and went through it carefully.
No matter what, I couldn't find any reason why I should be taken away by the people in this department.
The only thing to say that she did something out of the ordinary was that she asked someone to use their connections to find out about Chen Ya, who abducted Liu Ruyan.
Chen Ya is not a big shot, so how could her investigation of the other party have such serious consequences?
She had investigated department-level cadres before, but she had never seen anything like this!
"Go in." The man behind him said in a low voice that brooked no disobedience.
Zhao Yanan was taken to a separate small room, and after sitting down, she became even more nervous.
You can tell at a glance that this room is where prisoners are interrogated.
The seat was uncomfortable, the bright light directly in front of her face made her eyes uncomfortable, and the people sitting directly opposite her took turns staring at her, making her even more uncomfortable.
"Can you give me my phone back so I can make a call?" Zhao Yanan said, "There must be some misunderstanding here."
A fierce-looking man with a crew cut sitting in the middle said, "You still want a phone after coming to this place? Do you know what this place is?"
"No, I don't know..." Zhao Yanan's body was shaking like a sieve. It was not only nervousness, but also a hint of anger.
She had never been treated like this before.
A middle-aged man with a kind face and a gentle face sitting next to him drinking tea said with a smile:
"Don't scare her. Comrade Zhao Yanan, we came to you to learn some information. Don't be nervous."
Zhao Yanan calmed down a bit and said, "You don't have an arrest warrant, so you can't bring me here. My family is a big taxpayer, and my father is an outstanding entrepreneur. You can't do this to me."
"Bang!"
The fierce-looking man slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table almost jumped up.
"What arrest warrant? What major taxpayer? We suspect you're colluding with external forces to harm our national security! We hope you'll honestly plead guilty and not take any chances or risks!"
Another woman's voice said grimly, "Don't even mention your father being an outstanding entrepreneur. Our colleagues are already on their way to apprehend him. He will be brought back for questioning soon. Forget the arrest warrant; if you refuse to cooperate, you could be imprisoned for years."
Zhao Yanan was startled.
What she thought about most was violating the privacy of other citizens. How could it be linked to colluding with external forces?
Suddenly, she couldn't even speak.
"I, I didn't do anything! I really didn't do anything!"
The kind-looking man calmly raised his phone, showed her Chen Ya's photo on the screen, and said slowly:
"You're investigating this guy, right?"
"Tell me about your motives. Why do you want to investigate him?"
Zhao Yanan was very surprised.
"My best friend was kidnapped by him. What's wrong with me investigating him?"
The people sitting in the front looked at each other.
Looking at their expressions, it seemed like they wanted to laugh but couldn't.
The fierce-looking man slammed the table again and said loudly:
"Kidnapping cases should be reported to the police. What do you mean by conducting a private investigation? I urge you to tell the truth and not make up lies that are so obvious!"
Zhao Yanan was about to cry: "I didn't lie! I don't even know who that man is..."
The kind-looking man picked up a document on the table and said leisurely, "Let's change the subject. Your family is a Sino-Japanese joint venture, right?"
Zhao Yanan nodded: "Yes, yes."
"That means you had the chance to meet Japanese people," the kind-looking man said. "Tell me, which Japanese people did you meet?"
Zhao Yanan saw it.
This seemingly kind person is actually a real smiling tiger.
…
After a day and night of interrogation, Zhao Yanan finally saw the light of day again.
She sat in the car haggardly, and someone threw her cell phone to her through the window.
"Don't meddle in other people's business anymore. Remember your limits!" the man warned her sternly. "You know what you should and shouldn't say!"
Zhao Yanan nodded tiredly, turned on her cell phone and saw that Liu's father and mother had called her ten thousand times.
Her hand still trembling as she held the phone, she clicked call back.
"Hello? Uncle and aunt? I'm Yanan..."
"I'm fine... maybe I'm a little tired from the insomnia. Ruyan is fine too, she doesn't want to go back for the time being."
"...Don't ask about that person anymore. Liu Ruyan isn't with him. She... I don't know where she went."
After hanging up the phone trembling, Zhao Yanan looked out the window, still feeling scared.
By now, she completely understood why she was brought here.
It was because she investigated Chen Ya.
It's not because she found out anything, nor because she did anything illegal during the investigation.
Just because she tried to investigate Chen Ya, that's why.
Zhao Yanan took a deep breath, held her chest, and tried to calm down.
