Once her mind returned to normal, Gu Xingchen struggled: "Who are you? What right do you have to treat me like this?"
"I don't need to tell you who I am, and as for why I'm doing this to you, do I need to explain further?!"
Song Lan's voice was cold and clear, devoid of any warmth.
"Qin Yaxin! Qin Yaxin, I've told you before, I only brought you here because I like you and want to be with you. Please tell them to let me go!"
Gu Xingchen turned his gaze to Qin Yaxin; he certainly didn't want to be sent to a farm for re-education.
"I can't handle your affection. You can wait and go reunite with your parents!"
Qin Yaxin stopped crying and glared at Gu Xingchen with intense resentment: "Gu Xingchen, the moment you laid a hand on me, you should have known what the consequences would be if things were exposed!"
"But I just like you!"
Gu Xingchen's eyes were full of pleading.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's hand him over to the police station. The state will convict him of what he did to me!"
Too lazy to even glance at Gu Xingchen again, Qin Yaxin said to Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng, "It was my carelessness today that made you worry about me and travel all the way to the county town to find me."
As she spoke, her eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach.
"Good to know."
Qin Yanzheng said, grabbing Gu Xingchen by the back of his collar, and looked at Song Lan: "Let's go, Comrade Yang should bring the police officers over here quickly."
Song Lan gave a soft "hmm".
About ten minutes ago, Yang Fan drove to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. Before he could get out of the car, a figure appeared in front of the car.
"Comrade, is something the matter?"
The speaker was none other than Li Xueqin.
After finishing his call with Zhai's father, he rushed to the police station. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate, he saw a jeep slowly stop. He approached the driver's side window and asked a question.
"I'm here to report a crime."
Yang Fan was dressed in civilian clothes, but his overall demeanor made it easy to tell that he was a soldier.
After watching him quietly for a moment, Li Xueqin said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Yang Fan had no objection. He got out of the car, closed the door behind him, and followed Li Xueqin into the police station.
"They're here."
Zhai's father arrived at the police station a few minutes earlier. He saw Li Xueqin walk into the investigation hall, greet the person there, and say:
“Before you came in, I called Comrade Song’s family again. Her mother said that Comrade Song and her husband should be in the county town right now.”
"So, that means Comrade Song's sister-in-law, the girl named Qin Yaxin, still hasn't returned home?"
Li Xueqin frowned, and upon hearing his thoughts, Zhai's father nodded.
Yang Fan gleaned some clues from their conversation and said, "I'm Comrade Song's wife's driver. Comrade Song and his wife are indeed in the county town right now."
And it seems there's news about Yaxin, but Comrade Song and the others, to ensure Yaxin's safety, asked me to come to the bureau to report a case.
Do you know exactly where they are right now?
Li Xueqin asked.
Zhai's father stared intently at Yang Fan, waiting quietly with Li Xueqin for his answer.
"I only know the approximate location."
Yang Fan responded.
Zhai's father stood up, exchanged a glance with Li Xueqin, and said, "Shall we go over and take a look?"
Li Xueqin had no objection.
Yang Fan and the two men walked out of the police station.
"Please get in the car, both of you."
After inviting Zhai's father and Li Xueqin into the car, Yang Fan started the engine and drove away in an instant.
"Look! It's Comrade Song and his group!"
When they had traveled about halfway, Yang Fan suddenly spoke up and at the same time stepped on the brakes.
"Found it!"
Li Xueqin told Zhai's father that he saw Qin Yaxin through the car window.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhai nodded and said, "Let's get out of the car."
Yang Fan parked the car on the side of the street. He, Li Xueqin, and Zhai's father got out of the car and saw Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and Qin Yaxin walking up to the three of them.
"Comrade Qin, Comrade Song."
Li Xueqin greeted Song Lan and her husband, then glanced at Gu Xingchen and asked them, "Who is he...?"
Qin Yanzheng said, "Gu Xingchen is my second sister's high school classmate. During the Spring Festival this year, her parents were sentenced for human trafficking, and Gu Xingchen dropped out of school."
"I unexpectedly ran into my second sister on the streets of the county town today..."
After recounting the general course of events, Qin Yanzheng handed Gu Xingchen over to Li Xueqin.
At this moment, Zhai's father nodded to Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan as a greeting.
"Then let's go back to the station. After you've given your statements, you can go back, you see..."
Li Xueqin said this to Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng.
"good."
Song Lan smiled and nodded.
Qin Yanzheng and his wife followed each other's lead.
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this once!"
The "you" that Gu Xingchen mentioned need no further explanation; they were referring to Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng.
"I really only did that because I like Qin Yaxin, I had a momentary lapse of judgment and did that to her... But I only took her to that courtyard, I didn't do anything else!"
He's still young. If he's sentenced and sent to a farm for reformatory education, his life will be over...
Gu Xingchen's eyes were filled with panic and unease.
But no one paid any attention to what he was saying.
...
County Public Security Bureau.
After Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and Qin Yaxin finished giving their statements and expressed their gratitude to Zhai's father and Li Xueqin, they did not linger at the police station and left the investigation hall with Yang Fan.
There is no doubt that Yang Fan had told Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng about the previous conversation between Zhai's father and Li Xueqin. Both Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng are shrewd and perceptive; how could they not know that Zhai's father and Li Xueqin were trying to help find Qin Yaxin?
"Brother, sister-in-law, I will be more careful in the future, and I promise that something like today will never happen again."
