He Chen walked towards the elevator entrance.

Behind him, Guan Chi reacted and subconsciously followed. “Where are you going?”

“Guan Chi.” Upon seeing that he was about to follow, Madam Guan, who had been paying attention to his movements, directly reached out to block him.

However, at this time, Guan Chi didn’t listen to Madam Guan as he did in the past. He flicked away her hand without looking back and followed He Chen.

Madam Guan’s temples throbbed, and she couldn’t help but frown. “Guan Chi!”

Madam Guan had always been strict with him. When Qu Zixiao was engaged to He Chen, she had prevented him from seeing He Chen.

As Guan Ru had expected, if it had been He Jinxin, Madam Guan might have let Guan Chi compete with the Qu family.

At that time, Madam Guan hadn’t wanted Guan Chi to have contact with He Chen even when she was still only engaged, let alone now that she was divorced.

Father He was full of worries about He Jinxin and also had a headache upon seeing He Chen’s behavior. “She’s adding fuel to the fire.”

…

Downstairs.

He Chen took the elevator down, but Guan Chi didn’t have time to follow her into the elevator.

When he took the next elevator and caught up with her, he only saw He Chen’s back and paused when he saw the back of a man beside her.

Before he could catch up, the two figures had disappeared.

Guan Chi was stunned for a long time.

In Qin Xiuchen’s car.

He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw He Chen’s lowered eyes and unclear expression.

He Chen was going to find Qin Ran.

Without asking further, Qin Xiuchen sent her to Ting Lan and then rushed back for the announcement.

“Is Miss He alright?” The manager called and asked.

Qin Xiuchen let out an “Um” and then slowly turned the car around before calling Dean Cheng.

…

Qin Ran was writing an opening speech for the freshmen in the Physics Department at the moment as per Dean Zhou’s request. Beijing University’s Physics Department had been using Qin Ran for advertising, so the admission score of the Physics Department this year was extremely high.

Other than some who had entered through competitions, the acceptance rate of the others was only 1%.

“Miss Chen.” Cheng Mu opened the door and went to the kitchen to make tea for her.

Qin Ran didn’t lift her head, either. “Sit anywhere.”

There were no outsiders in Ting Lan, so He Chen didn’t avoid Cheng Mu and the others and asked straightforwardly, “Are you still in the inspection court?”

Qin Ran had participated in the entire case of 712 last time. Although He Chen hadn’t found out the specific process, she knew that Qin Ran had a name in Beijing.

“Yeah,” Qin Ran said in a serious voice. Pausing on the keyboard, she looked up. “Tell me slowly.”

“My sister has been arrested. I don’t have the authority to check the details.” He Chen sorted out her thoughts and continued, “It should be related to my grandfather. I’ll see her later and ask her about the details, but I need your help.”

He Jinxin was no ordinary person, and even the Yu family didn’t dare to intervene. This was why He Chen had to approach Qin Ran for help.

“Your sister? What’s her name, let me take a look.” Qin Ran closed the speech document, opened a webpage, and used her technology skills to log into the official website of the inspection institute. She logged in, and a page appeared—

Qin Ran: Specially invited detective

Permission: S-level (Encrypted)

The information of the inspection court was circulated with the criminal investigation team. As long as someone investigated her information through internal channels, only the words “Qin Ran, encrypted” would appear.

These three words represented her identity and high authority.

He Chen told her He Jinxin’s name.

Qin Ran skipped a few pages and directly searched.

Within a second, He Jinxin’s name was revealed.

Qin Ran narrowed her eyes at the display page and then turned the computer aside for He Chen to see.

Standing beside He Chen, Cheng Mu also took a curious look. However, he couldn’t understand all the official terms on it.

He didn’t understand, but having been in 129 for so many years, He Chen breezed past it.

“What S-level case was your sister investigating?” Qin Ran calmly leaned against the sofa and raised an eyebrow.

He Chen’s thoughts gradually gathered, and her voice slowed. “My grandpa’s case. He disappeared without a word back then, and for no reason too. There was no record on 129, either.”

At that time, Cheng Juan had been bent on getting to the bottom of it, but she didn’t know if he had managed to find out anything.

Nodding, Qin Ran tapped her knees with her fingers. “The news is blocked. I’ll go find Uncle Feng, while you find out about the specific situation your sister is in. There’s a lot of room for change in this matter.”

The inspection court was managed by Feng Loucheng.

He Chen didn’t participate in the domestic replacement and didn’t understand the current situation in Beijing. She was only knowledgeable when it came to analyzing the international situation.

The two moved separately, and He Chen left.

“There’s a car in the garage, pick it up yourself.” Qin Ran casually threw a key to her. “Giant Crocodile gave it to me, but I’ve never driven it before. You can use it.”

He Chen hadn’t driven here, and it would be too inconvenient to take a taxi. Qin Ran understood her well, after all.

“Okay.” He Chen waved a hand behind her.

The car He Jinxin had given her was still at the 4s car shop, and she hadn’t brought it back yet.

Once He Chen left, Qin Ran stood up and instructed Cheng Mu, “Leg’s go to Uncle Feng’s house.”

…

Giant Crocodile wasn’t as exaggerated as Slag Dragon, and the appearance of the car he sent wasn’t particularly arrogant either. It was a global limited-edition royal-blue streamlined Lamborghini.

It was just that the license plate number was a little arrogant.

Cheng Juan had been the one to put it on.

Since it was Qin Ran’s car and her authority in the Research Institute or in other areas wasn’t low, he had applied for a special license plate number.

A01111, the special license plate number of the heir to the Physics Institute.

It was comparable to Cheng Juan’s own.

He Jinxin would be able to identify the origin of the license plate at a glance, but He Chen didn’t know much about it and didn’t have time to care about it either, so she just drove the car away directly.

Instead of looking for He Jinxin first, she drove back to her community.

She returned home and went straight to the bedroom.

She stood in front of the safe beside her bed and let the machine scan her pupils.

After the safe was opened, she took out a golden card from a pile of things.

She inserted the card into her phone and then rebooted it.

A bunch of messages poured in.

He Chen didn’t read them.

She logged into a software with her mobile phone number, found the person she was looking for among a bunch of big bosses, and directly sent a message—

Give me a passcode, I want to see a B-level suspect.

The passcode took time, but He Chen knew very well that she only had to wait for the other party’s reply.

She walked downstairs with the phone and dialed Yu Xuan’s mobile phone.

“Brother-in-law.” She took the car keys and opened the car door.

On the other end, Yu Xuan had just arrived at the hospital and was discussing things with Father He. He reached out to massage his eyebrows when he received a call from He Chen. After a few days, his stubble had come out, and his voice sounded very tired. “Xiao Chen.”

“Do you have time? I’ll take you to see my sister in the evening,” He Chen said calmly.

She knew that her elder sister and her brother-in-law had a good relationship. Now that He Jinxin was in trouble, if Yu Xuan couldn’t see her and be sure of her safety, he wouldn’t be able to eat or rest in peace.

“See your sister?” Yu Xuan was first taken aback, then he turned overjoyed, and his eyes burst with dim light. “Xiao Chen, can you let me see your sister?”

He Chen had already gotten off the elevator, walked to the side of the car, pressed the switch, and opened the door.

“It’s Xiao Chen again?” In the hospital, Father He had come out with Yu Xuan in case something had happened. He directly said, “Yu Xuan, don’t listen to her nonsense!”

Then, he leaned into Yu Xuan’s phone and said tiredly, “He Chen, we’re now seriously investigating your sister’s affairs. Can you not make trouble? Can’t you tell how important this matter is?”

Ignoring him, He Chen said directly, “Eight o’clock in the evening.”

She hung up.

“Yu Xuan, don’t listen to her.” Father He couldn’t help but massage his temples, suppressing his anger. “She was spoiled by her grandma and mother.”

Yu Xuan shook his head. “It’s okay. I’ll go and take a look later. There’s no other way, either.”

Even his father was unwilling to participate in He Jinxin’s affairs, let alone other people.

At this moment, Yu Xuan and the He family were really isolated and helpless. Everyone was afraid of being dragged into the water because of their involvement.

“You…” Father He sighed.

He was about to say something else when suddenly, a dozen men in plainclothes appeared at the end of the corridor. They directly walked over to Yu Xuan and Father He, took out his ID card, and said, “There’s a case that needs your cooperation now. Please come with us.”

…

Half an hour later.

In the investigation room of the criminal investigation team.

The secretaries of Yu Xuan, Father He, Mother He, and He Jinxin were all together.

It was fine if someone came to interrogate them, but no one did.

Mother He pursed her lips and turned to Yu Xuan. “Xiao Xuan, can we still go out?”

Glancing at the one-way glass, Yu Xuan leaned against the wall and almost collapsed. He couldn’t even say a word of comfort now. He wasn’t afraid of being arrested, he was afraid that no one else would investigate He Jinxin’s case if he was.

Father He and Mother He’s hearts plummeted in an instant.

An hour later, the iron door opened.

As soon as they looked up, they saw Father Yu.

“Hao Dui, I’ve really troubled you.” Without even looking at them, Father Yu politely thanked the man next to him.

Hao Dui reached out and nodded faintly. “Five minutes.”

“Okay. Thank you, Hao Dui.” Father Yu sent Hao Dui out with a slight smile.

After Hao Dui went out, he directly turned to Yu Xuan, and the smile on his face was wiped off. “I told you not to investigate this matter. Now that you’re being held here, is your wish satisfied?”

Yu Xuan shook his head. “Dad, listen to me. Jinxin’s case…”

“I told you not to be involved. If you want to go out, you’ll divorce He Jinxin. I’ll apply for you to go abroad tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll take it as I don’t have a son.” Father Yu directly gave him two choices.

He Jinxin’s case wasn’t trivial, and there had been no turning point.

Father Yu was left with no choices.

Upon hearing this, Father He knew that there was really no way to help his daughter, and his blood ran cold.

His figure swayed, and he almost fell to the ground and injured himself, but was fortunately supported by He Jinxin’s secretary.

However, his mind was still sober, and he took a deep breath. “Yu Xuan, just divorce Jinxin. If she was here, she wouldn’t want to drag you down either. You have a promising future and shouldn’t be held back by our family.”

Yu Xuan just stared at his father for a long time before saying sarcastically, “Two years ago, the power of Beijing was replaced, and you were in danger. If it hadn’t been for Jinxin, would you still be sitting firmly in this position? Since you’re unwilling, then you can just take it as you’ve never had me as your son.”

Father Yu pursed his lips and glared at him, trembling with anger. “You’re unreasonable. If that’s the case, then you can stay here forever. After entering this interrogation room, you still think you can go out?!”

He took his leave immediately.

The more powerful a person was, the more cautious he would be.

Father Yu was now in the promotion period and wasn’t willing to take risks for He Jinxin.

The door slammed shut.

“Xiao Xuan.” Mother He was sitting on the only chair inside, in a daze. “Was what your father said true?”

“This is the criminal investigation team.” Yu Xuan didn’t have the energy to speak, so He Jinxin’s secretary explained to Mother He with a wry smile. “The highest-level interrogation room of the inspection court. Until the He family’s case is investigated, we won’t be able to go out. Even if Mr. Yu helps us submit a report, it’ll still take two weeks.”

After the two weeks, He Jinxin would already be convicted.

“Mom still hasn’t woken up, and Jinxin is waiting for us inside…” Mother He murmured.

Twenty minutes later.

The door opened.

The four people in the interrogation room were all depressed, and their spirits had hit rock bottom. Thinking that someone was coming to interrogate them, they looked up, sad and powerless.

Two people came in.

At the front was Hao Dui from just now, whom Father Yu had been very respectful toward. Yu Xuan, Father He, and the others all recognized this captain.

The one behind him was a woman in a skirt.

Wait…

“Xiao Chen?” Upon seeing the woman’s face, Father He was shocked senseless. He leaped up and exclaimed, “Why are you here too! Didn’t I tell you not to interfere with this matter! Mr. police officer, she doesn’t know anything about this…”

“Miss He, is he the person you’re looking for?” Hao Dui glanced at Father He and the others, then turned sideways and asked He Chen very politely.
