"Who is it?" Lin Chuan asked loudly.

"It's me!" Yang Zi said softly, "Lin Chuan, I'm in trouble."

"What trouble?" Lin Chuan asked urgently, immediately becoming more alert. Though Yang Zi was known for being cunning, he shouldn't be joking about such things. Besides, if it was truly a trick, it would be hard to face him later.

"The police came to my door." Yang Zi hurriedly said, "I'm... I'm afraid they found evidence of me killing Zhou Bin."

"Don't panic, deny everything during the interrogation." Lin Chuan quickly said, "They wouldn't dare do anything to you; you're the chairman of the Liu Group now. As long as you firmly deny, they'll be stuck. If they really have evidence, then we'll deal with it step by step."

"Hmm!" Yang Zi nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll come over right away to check the situation." Lin Chuan hurriedly comforted.

Yang Zi felt a warmth inside and said, "Lin Chuan, thank you for helping me."

"We're classmates, right?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"Is that all?" Yang Zi slightly raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a mysterious smile. She said, "Our relationship is probably not just an ordinary classmate relationship, right? Have you forgotten?"

"Lovers!" Lin Chuan summarized their relationship in two incisive words!

"Lin Chuan, bastard, go to hell!" Yang Zi's expression changed rapidly, and she quickly hung up the phone, her face full of anger.

Next to her, Song Xiaojia glanced at Yang Zi, then said, "Miss Yang, can you come with us now?"

"Sure!" Yang Zi nodded.

Soon, Yang Zi was taken back to the police station by Song Xiaojia and Zhang Wenhui for investigation.

Although taken away by the police, Yang Zi's demeanor was calm and collected, and she appeared very relaxed. Wearing high heels and a smart business outfit, her presence at the police station made her look like a celebrity to those unaware.

Yang Zi's appearance attracted the attention of the male police officers, each showing admiration in their eyes.

"What are you stare at!" Song Xiaojia glared at the watching male officers and scolded, "Get back to work, what are you standing here for? Be careful or your full attendance and performance bonuses will be docked."

"Yes, yes!" The male officers nodded repeatedly.

The dozen or so male officers scattered, and Yang Zi, with great poise, walked confidently and elegantly, clearly having received a noble education. Entering the interrogation room, several male officers quickly brought her a chair.

"Isn't there an interrogation chair?" Song Xiaojia asked.

"Deputy Chief Song, she's not convicted yet; she's just a citizen responding to police questioning." The male officer said awkwardly, "So, we need to be a bit courteous to her."

"I have the evidence of Yang Zi's crime." Song Xiaojia sneered, "We can basically determine that Yang Zi is a suspect."

"Uh..." The male officer was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Deputy Chief Song, you can mess around with food, but not with words."

"Don't worry, I never talk nonsense," Song Xiaojia smiled, "I'm always very meticulous with my words."

"This..." The male officer glanced at Song Xiaojia awkwardly and said, "Well, it's just a seat. If she's really a murderer, she can't escape justice, and one more seat doesn't make a difference, right? Besides, she's the chairman of the Liu Group..."

"In front of the law, everyone is equal!" Song Xiaojia responded calmly.

"Uh..." The male officer immediately fell silent.

"Alright, let's start the interrogation," Song Xiaojia said.

Soon, the interrogation began. However, Yang Zi vehemently denied everything, refusing to admit to any of it. She even offered an alibi convincingly. If Song Xiaojia hadn't already obtained relevant evidence, she might have thought Yang Zi was innocent. Unfortunately, Song Xiaojia already had the evidence.

"Miss Yang, you've been denying everything all along, so could you show us your neck?" Song Xiaojia said with a smile, "We all know the culprit has a tattoo on their neck. If you show us yours, everything will be clear."

"Alright." Yang Zi nodded, looking confident on the surface, but feeling a sense of dread inside. She knew she'd just had her neck tattoo removed, leaving some scars and discoloration. If discovered, she would certainly be considered a suspect.

Song Xiaojia walked over, squinting, already confident in her mind.

Sure enough, lifting the clothes revealed another bright red mark on the neck, along with some faint scars, presumably left from tattoo removal. Song Xiaojia asked, "Miss Yang, what's this? Did you remove a tattoo?"

"Yes!" Yang Zi laughed, "But the tattoo I removed isn't the one you're looking for."

"When did you remove it?" Song Xiaojia asked.

"It's been a while." Yang Zi laughed, "And it's not during the same time period you're interested in."

Song Xiaojia squinted her eyes, and just by looking at Yang Zi's gaze, she felt something was off. There seemed to be something hidden in her smile. Song Xiaojia said, "Yang Zi, you calculated everything, but unfortunately, you missed one step. Do you know what it is?"

"What?" Yang Zi asked curiously.

"You underestimated that your tattoo artist would betray you." Song Xiaojia squinted her eyes, coldly staring at Yang Zi.

Yang Zi's pupils instantly contracted intensely, obviously a reaction to the mental shock. Song Xiaojia could basically judge that Yang Zi was hiding something. Yang Zi furrowed her brow and said, "I don't know what tattoo artist you're talking about."

"Heh." Song Xiaojia laughed, "Anyway, we're formally arresting you now. You have the right to remain silent, but we will prosecute you. We have prepared the relevant evidence and prosecution materials. If you're interested, let's meet in court."

Yang Zi's expression turned a bit uneasy. She didn't expect the police to actually find a clue. When Song Xiaojia mentioned the tattoo artist, Yang Zi immediately realized something was wrong. She understood that her weak point had been grasped.

"Alright." Yang Zi calmly said, "I will call my lawyer now."

"You can, but currently, besides calling your lawyer, you can't call anyone else." Song Xiaojia said with a smile.

"Alright." Yang Zi nodded.

She then made a call to her lawyer. Upon learning the news, the lawyer hurried to the police station to investigate the situation. After much effort, the two finally met. Yang Zi explained the situation to the lawyer and firmly claimed her innocence. In the end, Yang Zi secretly whispered in the lawyer's ear, "Find Lin Chuan, he can help me."

"Hmm!" The lawyer immediately understood.

After leaving this instruction, Yang Zi felt much more at ease inside. She believed that Lin Chuan would definitely find a way to help her. So she felt more comfortable at heart, knowing that since Lin Chuan agreed to help her to the end, he would surely come to her rescue. Besides, Lin Chuan has such a powerful background. There's no reason he can't handle these police officers.

"Chairman Yang, you'll have to endure for a little while here." The lawyer nodded seriously and then said, "I will definitely find a way to prove your innocence."

"Hmm, Lawyer Li, I'm counting on you." Yang Zi said calmly.

"It's nothing, this is what I should do." Lawyer Li smiled and then turned and left the interrogation room.

Lawyer Li hurried to the transport market to find Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan was presently without a fixed place to live, as the house at Changlin Factory was demolished, and it would take at least a year or two before he had a place to live. So he was temporarily staying at the sand field. Although Tang Yumeng gave the keys to Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan didn't want to live alone in such a large house. Lin Chuan is someone who likes lively places, and the sand field is the liveliest place, plus most people are familiar brothers, so they are more free to drink and make merry.

When he arrived at the sand field, Lin Chuan was contemplating how to find a solution.

"Lin Chuan." Lawyer Li hurried over.

"Who are you?" Lin Chuan looked at the other curiously.

"Oh, I'm Yang Zi's lawyer." Lawyer Li said urgently, "I'm here on her behalf to find you, and now Chairman Yang is being summoned by the police. The police seem to be planning to prosecute, so rescuing her is urgent."

"This..." Lin Chuan was taken aback, and asked, "What should we do?"

"Didn't Chairman Yang already tell you?" Lawyer Li looked at Lin Chuan and said, "This case seems to be quite clear. According to the police, they seem to have found related evidence, so I think... If we want to prove Chairman Yang's innocence, we must make the case 'dead without evidence.'"

"Dead without evidence?" Lin Chuan immediately understood the implication.

"Yes, dead without evidence!" Lawyer Li looked solemnly at Lin Chuan, "Even if there is evidence, it must be turned into having no evidence. As long as there is no evidence, then the case becomes much simpler, and even if the police want to prosecute, they will give up due to lack of evidence."

"I understand." Lin Chuan coldly laughed and said, "Lawyer Li, go back and tell Yang Zi that this is the last time I will help her, and if there is a next time, I definitely won't help her again. Let her be careful and not kill at the slightest whim."

"Um..." Lawyer Li awkwardly looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Okay, I will relay your message to Chairman Yang word for word."

After the explanation, Lawyer Li turned and left the sand field. Lin Chuan was left alone at the field.

Lawyer Li had already revealed the relevant clues to Lin Chuan. When Yang Zi was in the interrogation room, she also secretly informed Lawyer Li which tattoo shop she went to for tattoo removal. So Lin Chuan basically understood what to do, even though Lawyer Li didn't point it out explicitly. But Lin Chuan fully understood what needs to be done.
