First Hospital Ward.
When Xia Zhining and his sister arrived, Yue Chenzhou was lying on the hospital bed, discussing discharge with Coach Tao.
"Coach Tao, I'm really fine."
After taking a shower, Yue Chenzhou looked much more energetic: "I just went hungry for a few meals and was tied up for quite a long time."
"I should go back to training. I'm afraid I've missed out on training for the relay race."
Ji Shuyun knocked on the door.
When Coach Tao saw the two people at the door, he immediately welcomed them in.
"Detective Xia, police comrades, thank you so much!"
Coach Tao was so excited that tears streamed down his face: "Chen Zhou can participate in the competition normally!"
He was extremely thankful: "Fortunately, this kid grew up in hunger, so he has a tough skin and strong muscles."
Xia Zhining breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Yue Chenzhou could participate in the World Championships normally and without any injury.
"Is it this little girl who found my whereabouts and led the police to rescue me?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Chenzhou suddenly looked up and a hint of shock flashed across his face.
He excitedly grabbed the sleeves of the two men, "Detective Xia! And this police officer—luckily you arrived in time, otherwise I..."
Yue Chenzhou's voice suddenly choked, his fingers trembled unconsciously, and his expression became frightened.
After a few seconds of pause, he rasped out, "Last night... my kidnappers forced me to make a choice and only gave me 18 hours to consider it."
"If you don't agree to their terms before 4pm today..."
Yue Chenzhou's Adam's apple rolled, "They will... throw me alive into the sulfuric acid pool."
"What?!" Xia Zhining took a deep breath and cold sweat instantly broke out on her back.
She had often dealt with chemicals when doing drug experiments before, and she knew all too well what that meant.
Concentrated sulfuric acid would first corrode the skin, cutting into the flesh like thousands of red-hot swords simultaneously; then, amidst heart-wrenching screams, muscle tissue would peel away from the bones like melted wax.
In the end, even the hardest bones would sizzle in the boiling acid, turning into a pool of blood bubbling with a burnt smell...
In less than ten minutes, a living person will completely disappear from this world, without even a complete bone being found.
Ji Shuyun's fingers tightened silently, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Mr. Yue, you are safe now. Can you tell us why they kidnapped you?"
He paused for a moment and asked, "What is your relationship with Ms. Du Yishan?"
"Don't worry, we police officers don't believe those rumors on the Internet."
"Du Yishan?"
Yue Chenzhou seemed to have never heard of this name.
Ji Shuyun was startled and explained, "Du Yishan is the woman who went to the chemical plant last night."
"She's the owner of a major pharmaceutical company."
Yue Chenzhou suddenly realized, "It is like this, it is like this."
He gave a bitter laugh and said, "I accidentally overheard their shocking secret, and they wanted to silence me."
Xia Zhining and Ji Shuyun's expressions suddenly changed.
Yue Chenzhou said slowly, "Two days ago, I went to the Earl Club to record a swimming course and got lost. I accidentally heard Du Yishan's phone call in the back garden."
"They said on the phone that the drug our company sells has fatal side effects, but for the sake of profit..."
His voice tightened. "Not only did they not recall the product, they actually expanded production."
"Du Yishan also said that if someone died, the compensation would only be a few hundred thousand yuan, and the profit would be a hundred times the compensation. Anyway... they themselves would not take this medicine."
Xia Zhining felt a chill in her heart. Du Yisan was such a dark person.
