Ye Qiu evaded the police chase, completely indifferent to the police, and had no idea that the driving skills he just displayed had caught their attention.

Upon reaching the city, Ye Qiu still hadn't found the car that took Xu Lei.

But at this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh right, how could I forget, I should call Lei Jie!"

Ye Qiu shook his head speechlessly; people tend to make mistakes when anxious. How could he forget to simply call Xu Lei directly just now?

Although the kidnapper might answer, at least it provides a target, not like now, wandering aimlessly like a headless chicken.

The phone connected.

Ye Qiu's breathing became rapid, and after ringing for a dozen times, just as Ye Qiu thought no one would answer, someone picked up.

But once the call was answered, no one spoke, and Ye Qiu also fell into silence; the other side wasn't speaking, neither was he.

This stalemate lasted about five minutes, and then the person on the other side couldn't hold back and spoke first: "Who are you?"

It was a man.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes, and he took a deep breath, asking: "Where's the owner of this phone?"

The person on the other end was obviously stunned, then replied with an unfriendly tone, "I'm asking you, who are you?"

Ye Qiu said, "I'm her boyfriend. Let her answer the phone."

"Boyfriend?"

Lin Jie's subordinate was taken aback, then confusedly thought, "Isn't this woman Lin Jie's childhood sweetheart? How is she now this guy's girlfriend?"

"You're talking nonsense! This woman belongs to our captain. Do you have any other business? If not, I'm hanging up!"

Ye Qiu frowned upon hearing this, but quickly called out, "Wait."

"What else do you want?"

"Where are you?" Ye Qiu asked.

The man laughed: "Why would I tell you, I... hey hey, what are you guys doing..."

At this moment, chaotic sounds came from the other end, and then the call was disconnected.

"Hey hey, what's going on? What happened?"

Ye Qiu eagerly asked, but was responded to only by a string of beeping sounds.

"Damn."

Ye Qiu was furious and felt like smashing the phone but managed to restrain himself, after all, he still needed the phone.

"What should I do?" Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, and just then, Xu Jiao's car arrived behind him. Ye Qiu was taken aback as Xu Jiao waved her hand: "Get in!"

"Get in?" Ye Qiu was puzzled.

Xu Jiao said, "I know where Lei Jie is. Get in and we'll go together, I..."

Before Xu Jiao could finish speaking, Ye Qiu pulled her out of the car and threw her into the passenger seat, then started the car and headed for the hospital.

"Oh."

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xu Jiao got out of the car immediately and began retching uncontrollably; Ye Qiu had been driving like mad, so the speed was rocket-like, causing Xu Jiao's stomach to churn, nearly vomited her meals from days ago.

"Are you okay?"

Ye Qiu asked apologetically.

Xu Jiao waved her hand: "I'm fine, finding Xu Lei Jie is more urgent now."

After speaking, she and Ye Qiu ran towards the hospital.

However, upon reaching the hospital, there was no sign of Xu Lei, and after inquiry, it was learned that Xu Lei had already been taken away.

Hearing this, Ye Qiu was furious, nearly demolishing the hospital's front desk.

Fortunately, Xu Jiao stopped him in time, preventing things from escalating.

Pulling Ye Qiu outside the hospital, seeing Ye Qiu's currently solemn expression, Xu Jiao didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly looked at Xu Jiao, making her startled, seeing Ye Qiu's discontent with Han Qide's eyes, she felt somewhat afraid: "You you..."

Ye Qiu said: "You know who took Xu Lei Jie, don't you!"

Xu Jiao froze, then fell silent.

Seeing Xu Jiao's silence, Ye Qiu was furious. He pressed her shoulders against the wall, causing her to wince.

Ye Qiu didn't notice: "Speak, quickly."

"You, you hurt me." Xu Jiao looked at Ye Qiu, who seemed like a beast about to explode, said nervously.

Ye Qiu froze, seeing the weak Xu Jiao, suddenly sober, quickly released Xu Jiao, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious, I'm sorry..."

"I'm fine." Xu Jiao knew Ye Qiu was anxious, plus finding the person was urgent, so she didn't mind. After hesitating, she said to Ye Qiu: "Give me some time, I will help you get Xu Lei Jie back."

Ye Qiu frowned deeply at Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao said: "Trust me."

Ye Qiu was silent for a while, then nodded: "Alright."

At that moment, the piercing sound of police sirens abruptly came from behind, followed by a large group of police surrounding them.

"Put your hands up, you're surrounded."

Ye Qiu and Xu Jiao exchanged glances; racing a car shouldn't warrant this level of response, with real gunfire and explosives?

Although Ye Qiu could break through this police blockade on his own, that would mean assaulting the police. He's already in trouble, adding another layer would make things worse.

Besides, Ye Qiu didn't want trouble with the government, so he raised his hands and chose to surrender.

Xu Jiao said, "Don't worry, they won't do anything to you, let me handle this."

Ye Qiu glanced at Xu Jiao, then nodded.

"The woman can leave, we're only taking the man."

As the police took him away and left Xu Jiao, Ye Qiu was at a loss, inwardly saying: "What's going on, why take only me?"

Xu Jiao was also confused, looking at the police, thinking: "Could it be that these people know my father? That wouldn't make sense; if so, they should've taken me too and released me secretly, how could they be so blatant?"

Watching Ye Qiu being led away, Xu Jiao thought: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

...

Ye Qiu was taken away by the police. Inside the police car, Ye Qiu felt deeply helpless; it was his first time being in a police car and first time in custody.

Ye Qiu suspected he might have been arrested due to reckless driving but wanted to confirm, so he asked: "Excuse me, officer, can I ask what crime I committed for you guys to arrest me?"

The officers remained silent, Ye Qiu furrowed his brows, hesitated, and said, "You should at least give a reason for arresting someone, you can't arrest without cause."

The evident leader among the officers chuckled, said, "You'll know once you're at the station. Now, please shut up, I want to snooze a bit without being disturbed."

"I..."

Looking at the officer actually sleeping after speaking, Ye Qiu felt extremely speechless, wondering what was going on. Did they arrest him just to have tea at the station?

Shaking his head, seeing all the officers with closed eyes, Ye Qiu thought to himself, since things have reached this point, he might as well see what happens next, and quietly fell asleep too.
