Ma Yunfei sighed deeply and said aggrievedly, "No matter what I say, President Xia still thinks I'm a bad guy, a womanizer who likes to seduce women. I just don't understand, what exactly did I do that made him misunderstand me?"
“Brother Ma, after all, President Xia is Xia Tian’s father. He also cares about his daughter and is worried that she will be deceived by a man. This feeling is understandable.”
Around 8 p.m., President Xia called Xiao Jie again and asked, "Is Ma Yunfei still staying at your house?"
Xiao Jie replied, "Yes, he has been at my house for a week. This time, Ma Yun flew to City A specifically to look for Xia Tian."
"Hmph! I think Ma Yunfei is just trying to cover up his true intentions by deliberately creating a smokescreen. In reality, he kidnapped my daughter, but he pretended to be here to help find her. This guy is too cunning; he's practically a thousand-year-old fox."
“Uncle Xia, you may have wronged Ma Yunfei. Based on my understanding of him, there is absolutely no way he would kidnap Xia Tian.”
"Xiao Jie, is Ma Yunfei still at your house?"
"Yes, he's already gone upstairs to rest. He was out all day and only came back in the evening. He has to go looking for Xia Tian tomorrow."
"Haha...this cunning fellow, he really knows how to fool people."
Xia Jiufa hung up the phone.
Xiao Jie ran upstairs and knocked on Ma Yunfei's bedroom door.
"Please come in."
Xiao Jie pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, telling Ma Yunfei, "Just now, President Xia called again, saying the same old things. She insisted that you had kidnapped Xia Tian and that you deliberately came to City A to pretend to be looking for Xia Tian in order to cover up your evil deeds."
Ma Yunfei shook his head and said helplessly, "I really can't do anything about President Xia. Only when we find Xia Tian can we clear my name."
As the two were talking, suddenly, a security guard ran up and said in a panic, "A police car has arrived at the main gate, and several policemen want to come in. They say they want to summon Ma Yunfei."
Xiao Jie was startled and said in a panic, "Brother Ma, it seems that President Xia called the police and had them question you."
Ma Yunfei said frankly, "I'm going to see the police."
The security guard opened the gate, and several policemen rushed in, asking, "Who is Ma Yunfei?"
"I am Ma Yunfei."
A policeman said, "Ma Yunfei, someone has reported you for abducting a girl named Xia Tian. You need to come with us to the police station."
Ma Yunfei readily agreed.
He got into the police car and went to the police station.
In an interrogation room, two police officers began questioning Ma Yunfei: "What's your name?"
"Ma Yunfei".
Where are you from?
"Majiawan, Qinglong Town".
Do you know Xia Tian?
“Three months ago, I brought several truckloads of yams to the market in City A, eager to sell them. That’s when I met Xia Tian. She was willing to buy my yams, so I drove my truck into Jiufa Company. Since then, I’ve been doing yam business with Jiufa Company. Xia Tian and I are very familiar with each other, and we’ve even become sworn siblings.”
"I heard from Xia Jiufa that his daughter Xia Tian has been missing for a week. Do you know where Xia Tian is?"
Ma Yunfei shook his head and said, "I heard about Xia Tian's disappearance a week ago, so I rushed to City A. Recently, I have been trying to find Xia Tian's whereabouts."
What's your relationship with Xiaojie?
"Xia Tian and Xiao Jie are best friends. Xia Tian introduced me to Xiao Jie. This time I came to City A to find Xia Tian, so I stayed at Xiao Jie's house."
"You really don't know where Xia Tian is?"
"have no idea."
"Xia Jiufa suspects you of abducting Xia Tian. Why would he suspect you?"
“Xia Tian and I are sworn siblings, and we have a very good relationship. Xia Jiufa has always suspected that I have designs on his daughter, which is why this misunderstanding has arisen.”
“Ma Yunfei, if you know Xia Tian’s whereabouts, please contact the police immediately.”
“Okay. I believe that it won’t be long before we find Xia Tian. At that time, we will clear up Xia Jiufa’s suspicions about me. Facts speak louder than words.”
Ma Yunfei left the police station and returned to Xiao Jie's home.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, so he called Xia Jiufa: "President Xia, I heard you called the police, accusing me of kidnapping Xia Tian?"
"Yeah, I've always suspected you kidnapped Xia Tian. You even pretended to come looking for Xia Tian, which is just like protesting too much. You can fool others, but you can't fool me. I ask you: hasn't the police come looking for you yet?"
“Two hours ago, the police came to Xiaojie’s house, took me to the police station, questioned me, and I explained everything to the police before being released.”
"You've been released?"
"President Xia, I just don't understand. Why would you suspect me? This...this is too unreasonable. Calm down and think about it. Why would I want to kidnap Xia Tian? Is it even necessary?"
"You...you seduced my daughter, making her infatuated with you and elope with you against all odds. You actually wanted to practice polygamy. Let me tell you: the law will definitely punish you. Don't think you can argue with me. Your true colors will be revealed sooner or later."
Ma Yunfei said with a wry smile, "President Xia, you...you overestimate me. How could I possibly have such ability to get your daughter to elope with me? Do you think your daughter is a fool? Xia Tian clearly knows that I have a wife and a three-year-old daughter. Do you really think she would elope with me?"
"You brat, I don't know what kind of bewitching potion you gave my daughter to make her so infatuated with you. I... I really want to stab you with a knife."
"President Xia, please don't stab me. My death is a small matter, but you will be sentenced to death. I don't want Xia Tian to be sad. I think you'd better wait patiently for ten days or half a month. By then, Xia Tian will definitely return to your side. You will know that Xia Tian's disappearance has nothing to do with me, not even a penny."
"You brat, no matter how eloquently you talk, I won't believe you. I'm warning you: put my daughter back right now, or I'll really stab you."
“Mr. Xia, once your daughter returns, you will naturally know the truth. I don’t want to say anything more. It’s no use saying anything more. Anyway, you’ve already decided that I’m a villain.”
"Yes, you are a villain, Ma Yunfei. I'm giving you one last warning: you have three days to bring my daughter home, or I will take action against you."
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "President Xia, what... what can I say? I'll say it one last time: I didn't kidnap Xia Tian, I'm really a good person."
