Chapter 118 - Back to the Cliff
After Liu Meifeng left, the students also left the classroom. Mo Jia and Ivy planned to go camping and asked Song Jiaren if she wanted to go. Song Jiaren shook her head. Song Chuyan’s life or death was currently unknown, so she wasn’t in the mood to do these things.
After Song Jiaren separated from them, she went straight to the police station. Officer Wu was standing at the entrance of the police station and was about to make a call. When he saw her, he quickly said, “Miss Song, you’re here at the right time. I was about to call you. We found some new clues.”
Song Jiaren didn’t say anything and waited for him to continue.
Officer Wu continued, “During the investigation, an old man said that he saw a person covered in blood not far from the bottom of the cliff. At first, the old man was so scared that he fled. After a long time, the old man brought his people back, but the person was already gone. We didn’t find any incomplete corpses or suspicious traces near the place, so I think Song Chuyan might have been saved.”

A trace of hope rose in Song Jiaren’s heart. She quickly asked, “Did you go to the hospital to investigate? Do you have enough people? I can find people to help you investigate.”
Officer Wu smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. We’re investigating now. We should get the news soon.”
Song Jiaren nodded and picked up her phone to report this good news to Song Meiyu. Then, she put away her phone. She was afraid that it would give her false hope in the end, and Song Meiyu wouldn’t be able to accept it.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang. Song Jiaren took out her phone. It was a call from Song Meiyu.
After thanking Officer Wu, she walked out of the police station and picked up the call.
Song Jiaren asked, “Mom, what’s the matter? I’ll be back soon.”
Song Meiyu said helplessly, “It’s fine. Mr. Ye is preparing lunch today. He asked me to call you home for lunch.”
Song Jiaren had a bad premonition. She asked, “Can Mr. Ye cook?”
Song Meiyu looked at the panicking figure in the kitchen and said with uncertainty, “Maybe.”
Song Jiaren lost all hope. After she hung up the phone, she went to a restaurant opposite the police station to buy food. Yes, she didn’t believe in Ye Zhentian’s culinary skills at all. He had been served for forty years. Could he possibly know how to cook?
Song Jiaren came out with the takeaway box and saw five familiar figures walking out of the police station. She took a closer look and realized that they were the five “thieves.” She sneered. It seemed that their boss was very powerful to have gotten them out of the police station so quickly.
They got into the black Audi that was parked outside the police station and left. Song Jiaren quickly drove to chase after them. There were very few cars on the road the black Audi drove on, so Song Jiaren didn’t dare to get too close. Song Jiaren drove to the crossroad, and the traffic light at the intersection turned into a red light. She looked at the Audi that was getting farther and farther away and felt anxious. If she ran the red light, she might be noticed by them. But if she didn’t catch up to them, she would lose the chance to know their boss.
She made up her mind and sped past the traffic light to catch up with the black Audi. At this moment, the Audi suddenly changed direction. Song Jiaren was a little confused, but she still followed from afar.
After twenty minutes, Song Jiaren stopped the car. With a cold gaze, she looked at the path in front of her, which was where Song Chuyan drove down the cliff. So these people had already discovered her. They brought her here to threaten her.
In the black Audi, a burly man said solemnly, “She stopped the car. There’s a small road ahead. Let’s pass by that road.”
