"We are police officers. We just received a report from Mr. Fu that he has found Mrs. Fu. Is that true?"
Fu Linzhou snapped out of his shock at the truth and quickly went to open the door.
"Yes, Officer Chen, my wife is inside."
Officer Chen looked at the rows of bodyguards squatting in the yard, strung together by a rope, and asked with a strange expression, "Mr. Fu, what's this?"
Fu Zhiyan happened to have reached the door and, seeing the scene outside, naturally replied, "They are bodyguards hired by Zhou Fang to look after my mother. They tied them up in order to save my mother."
Officer Chen's lips twitched slightly: "This way of tying someone up is quite unique, huh?"
Fu Zhiyan chuckled, a hint of doting in his smile. He gently stepped aside to make way for her, his tone mild: "Officer Chen, my mother and the people who kidnapped her are inside."
Officer Chen's expression was grave. He nodded solemnly and entered the house with two other officers, asking as they went, "How many kidnappers were there? Was Mrs. Fu harmed in any way?"
Fu Linzhou touched his nose, a complex emotion in his eyes. "Just one thing, my wife is not injured."
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. "Just one?"
Fu Linzhou's expression became even more subtle. He gently raised his hand, pointing his fingertip to the corner of the table, his tone carrying an indescribable meaning, "Officer Chen, see for yourself."
Officer Chen followed the fingertip and saw a person tied to the table leg. He peered over and saw the man's face, exclaiming in surprise, "Mr. Zhou Fang? This... how is this possible!"
When Zhou Fang heard his name called, his body stiffened, but he did not look up. He simply remained seated, maintaining his desolate posture.
Officer Chen was startled; he never expected that Zhou Fang was the one who kidnapped Madam Fu!
Previously, the police had summoned Zhou Fang several times in order to find clues. At that time, he seemed very anxious. He even almost got into a fight at the police station because of the slow progress of their investigation. Unexpectedly, he was the one who kidnapped Madam Fu!
Officer Chen was burning with anger. Not long ago, he had felt a little guilty because of Zhou Fang’s seemingly sincere eagerness. But now he realized that Zhou Fang’s frequent visits to the police station were nothing more than a carefully planned act. He was using this opportunity to spy on the police’s movements and test whether they suspected him!
"Zhou Fang, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Zhou Fang's lips curled into a cold and mocking smile: "I have nothing to say. Arrest me if you want."
Officer Chen made a gesture, and two policemen beside him stepped forward and swiftly untied Zhou Fang from the table leg, then handcuffed him. The two officers, one on each side, tightly gripped Zhou Fang's arms and led him outside.
Zhou Fang obediently followed the police officers out until he reached Bai Xuxu. He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions, hoping to catch a trace of warmth from that indifferent face, even if it was just a fleeting moment of sympathy. But Bai Xuxu did not spare him a single glance.
He smiled bitterly, his eyes slowly reddening, and took one last deep look at Bai Xuxu. Then, he silently followed the police out of the house, his shadow stretching long in the dim light, as if he had suddenly aged several years.
Lu An'an sighed.
[It should be raining outside by now, just like the night Yiping went to her father for money, and with the background music, it would definitely be a prime-time hit.]
Lu Yanli: ...My sister's side job has changed from giving website titles to directing melodramatic dramas?
Lu Mingqian imagined the scene in his mind, and to be honest, it really did have that desolate feeling.
"jingle--"
Suddenly, a crisp text message notification broke the silence and drew everyone's attention. All eyes turned to the phone in Officer Chen's hand, which had just been carefully placed in the evidence bag, and a sense of unease filled the air.
Why would I suddenly receive a text message at this time?
Officer Chen took out his phone, had Zhou Fang unlock it, opened the message interface, and after reading the text message, asked Zhou Fang in a deep voice, "Who is Lu An'an?"
Lu An'an was taken aback, a hint of surprise and confusion flashing in her eyes.
[Hmm? Someone's looking for me? On Zhou Fang's phone?]
Everyone was shocked. Why was An'an's name in the text message on Zhou Fang's phone?
She walked towards Officer Chen and replied, "It's me. Is this text message for me?"
Instead of answering directly, Officer Chen gently rotated his phone screen, revealing the contents of the text message to everyone without reservation.
The message sent a chill down everyone's spine; the air seemed to grow heavier. The message read:
"Lu An'an, I'm really looking forward to what surprises you'll give me next time."
Lu An'an's eyes suddenly darkened, her lips unconsciously tightened, and her expression became more serious.
Who is this? How did he know I was here?
And, does he know me?
Before she could process this sudden situation, the screen lit up again, and another message came in.
"Let me give you a gift as a way to celebrate your return, Lu An'an. Good luck."
When Lu An'an saw the second sentence, her eyes suddenly narrowed, as if she had been gripped by an invisible hand, and her heartbeat seemed to stop at that moment.
[Celebrating my return? This person... knows something?]
[Give me a gift? Is it for the original owner of this body or for me?]
The others also saw the two messages, and their hearts sank in unison, creating an unusually oppressive atmosphere.
