"Director—"

Frodes shouted in surprise, initially thinking someone had broken in, but then realizing that intruders wouldn't enter so calmly. As he recognized the person, he saw that it was Director Depny!

Depny seemed to have arrived in a rush, not even wearing his uniform. He was in a white shirt, his hair tousled by the wind, and his usually pale, unhealthy face was flushed with a sickly red from anger.

As soon as Depny entered the interrogation room, he hurriedly looked up and down at the seated Yang Chen. Upon seeing the handcuffs on Yang Chen's wrists, his small eyes widened in shock.

Sensing that something was off, Frodes hesitated before saying, "Director, why are you—"

Before Frodes could finish, Depny, who wasn't very tall, took a large stride and grabbed Frodes by the collar of his uniform with his left hand!

Behind Frodes, Borton watched in horror as the nearly two-meter-tall Frodes was lifted off the ground by the 1.7-meter Depny with one hand!

No one could have imagined that Depny, who appeared to be entering his middle age and had a dull complexion, possessed such overwhelming strength and authority.

Frodes was stunned, his lips moving as if to speak, but facing Depny's fiery gaze, he didn't know what to say.

"Idiot! Who gave you permission to arrest people without my consent?" Depny's voice was like grinding gears, deep and rough.

Suspended in mid-air, Frodes swallowed hard and tried to remain calm as he answered, "Director, you instructed me to handle the kidnapping case. Our investigation led us to this Chinese man, Yang Chen, as the key witness who reported the incident. During the interrogation, he admitted to killing the kidnappers. We were just about to proceed with the investigation when you—"

"So you're saying it's my fault?" Depny snorted coldly and flung Frodes to the corner of the room.

Borton, with a bitter expression, could only nod. Frodes picked up the photo, gritting his teeth, a myriad of emotions flashing across his face. Finally, his eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and with a forceful grip, he crumpled the photo into a ball.

Meanwhile, walking out of the police station with Depny, Yang Chen felt much more relaxed. Although he didn't know who had called Depny to get him out, he was glad he didn't have to spend the night in the station. If no one had come to bail him out, while he wouldn't have been seriously harmed, he couldn't have smashed up the police station. Fighting wasn't the problem; it was the trouble that would follow.

As they reached the parking lot near the police station, Depny stopped and pointed to a black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked not far away. He spoke with a hint of excitement, "Mr. Yang, I sincerely apologize for the trouble. Please convey my regards to that esteemed lady. We are always at your service."

Lady?

Yang Chen frowned, pondering as he looked in the direction Depny was indicating. When he saw the Rolls-Royce parked quietly in the night, like a flowing shadow, he suddenly understood.

So it was her. That made sense.

With Depny and his colleagues bidding him a courteous farewell, Yang Chen slowly walked towards the waiting Rolls-Royce.

As he approached the car, the door opened from the inside, revealing a familiar handsome face he hadn't seen in a while. The man's golden hair was neatly combed, he wore a black suit, and a bright red rose adorned his chest.

"Edward?" Yang Chen was taken aback, surprised to see one of his friends, Edward from the Rothschild family, who was also Jane's cousin.

"Dear Yang, it's been a while since we last met in Hokkaido. I've missed you," Edward said with a bright smile, making room for Yang Chen inside the car.

Yang Chen got into the car and closed the door, finally seeing the "lady" Depny had mentioned.

"It's been a long time, Catherine," Yang Chen's eyes softened, showing a hint of nostalgia. He smiled lightly and said, "Oh right, should I call you Your Majesty now?"
