CH 166

Xiao Chen felt like he was very fortunate to be able to make it back alive.

But he was also extraordinarily sad, now that his phone was taken.

That was the key to his success, and now it’s gone?

He didn’t have too much time to think things through.

Right now, all he wanted was to report this to the police and have those kidnappers punished by law.

Perhaps it was fate, because Xiao Chen happened to be at the police station Liu Ruoxi was at.

And tonight happened to be her on duty.

Seeing Xiao Chen with a face of panic and some bruises, Liu Ruoxi did not hesitate at all.

“You were kidnapped?”

“Yes, it was today afternoon, no, yesterday afternoon.”

Xiao Chen quickly nodded.

Liu Ruoxi continued, “What time?”

“Around 5.”

“What place?”

“East city, the self-construction area.”

“You were kidnapped there?” Liu Ruoxi was slightly confused.

“Yes!” Xiao Chen was getting angry.

Why does this woman ask so many questions? As if she is purposefully wasting my time?

But in fact, Liu Ruoxi was just going through the proper procedure.

After all, she needed to get all the information before they could run an investigation.

“That place has been under construction, and no one really even goes there… Why were you kidnapped there?”

“I went to pick someone up… wait, Yao Yao…”

Xiao Chen suddenly remembered something and quickly said, “Can I borrow your phone?”

“Sure,” Liu Ruoxi handed her phone over.

But only after getting the phone did Xiao Chen realize that he didn’t remember Yao Yao’s phone number at all.

“Fuck…”

“Please relax… you can explain what happened from the beginning…”

Seeing how stressed Xiao Chen looked, Liu Ruoxi tried to calm him down.

She was a police officer who served the people. Other than some cash of unknown origins, Xiao Chen was completely innocent.

So her attitude was rather friendly.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Then he retold the story of what had happened.

He got a call from someone saying Yao Yao got involved in an accident and asked him to go pick her up in the city east.”

“Why did they kidnap you?”

“They… of course they were after my money.” Xiao Chen said angrily.

Naturally, he couldn’t say the real reason.

How can he explain that he was kidnapped just for his phone?

If he said that, would the police think he was a psycho?

“Then how did you escape?”

“I…”

Xiao Chen was stunned.

They sent me back out themselves???

“I escaped by being clever of course! Miss Liu, what are you trying to say? I came to report a case, and you guys should go capture the bad guys. Why ask so many useless questions? Just go check the surveillance footage.”

Xiao Chen grew even angrier, trying to use rage to cover his lie.

Seeing Xiao Chen so angry, Liu Ruoxi seemed to have sensed something from her years of experience.

Another male police officer on the side also on duty couldn’t watch this any further.

“My friend, do you think we are deities? How can we help you capture the bad guys if we don’t learn what happened first?

“I… I told you the time and place already, go search the surveillance!” Xiao Chen roared rudely.

“That place doesn’t have any surveillance cameras/”

“What?” Xiao Chen was stunned again.

He suddenly remembered that this was a planned kidnap… how would they find a place with surveillance cameras?

Helpless, Xiao Chen could only retell the matter about Yao Yao to Liu Ruoxi.

It seemed that Yao Yao has become a key character in this matter.

Hence, Liu Ruoxi helped Xiao Chen find Yao Yao’s number and dialed it.

She didn’t pick up.

It was already 2 or 3 in the morning.

Because she has a daughter, Yao Yao would silence her phone during the night. She couldn’t receive their call at all.

“Fuck…”

Xiao Chen became even more enraged.

At this point, he didn’t know that his phone was already destroyed, so he was still looking forward to finding it back.

“Were your losses severe in this kidnap?” Seeing Xiao Chen stressed like this, Liu Ruoxi asked curiously.

If Xiao Chen was really kidnapped and escaped, then he should be afraid and worried, but not this angry and stressed.

“Of course!”

“Including what? Please let us know.”

“My phone!”

“And?”

“And…”

Xiao Chen pulled up his sleeves to show his arm, “I was beaten, can’t you tell?”

“I’m talking about properties,” Liu Ruoxi corrected.

“Uh…” Xiao Chen didn’t know what else he could say.

Because the truth was, he lost nothing more than just a phone.

“Please tell us the truth, or else it’ll be hard to help you.”

Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression and how he was stunned two times, Liu Ruoxi was confident this person was hiding something from her.

Her tone grew gradually unsatisfied as well.

“A phone, that’s it.”

Xiao Chen gave up, but then immediately added, “But I was definitely kidnapped, and beaten.”

“Alright. We will investigate about what you told us. It’s almost 3 in the morning, so the quickest investigation will not begin morning time. Please go to the hospital to get your wounds checked, we will contact you tomorrow morning.”

“Al… alright.”

It was indeed too late, so he could only go to the hospital and get himself checked first.

All he had were surface injuries, nothing too serious.

After getting checked, he lied on the bed, thinking hard about what happened.

Morning, the police got in contact with Yao Yao and asked her to help with the investigation.

At the same time, Xiao Chen was also called to the police station.

Yao Yao was very surprised when she saw Xiao Chen in the police lobby.

“Xiao Chen, they told me you were kidnapped? And it has to do with me? What happened?”

“I want to ask you the same. What happened last night?”

Xiao Chen was still angry right now.

To him, nothing was as important as the phone he lost.

The way Xiao Chen questioned him made Yao Yao a little unhappy.

But she was quite understanding, as Xiao Chen just got kidnapped last night. She told him about her experiences.

Tong Tong was in kindergarten and when I was picking her up yesterday afternoon, I was hit by another car.

Because the car had a cloned plate, the other party begged her to not report this to the police, and gave her plenty of compensation.

After receiving the compensation, she went to get her car fixed.

Xiao Chen burst out in rage, “That’s it?”

“What did you think it was?”

“But when I received the call, that person told me you were in an accident and that my presence was necessary…”

“Well I did get into an accident, but shouldn’t you have at least called to make sure with me?”

“I…” Xiao Chen said with dissatisfaction, “Yao Yao, what are you trying to say? Are you implying that it’s my fault I got kidnapped? I was doing this for you!”

“I… when did I say that?”

Yao Yao was rather in shock and didn’t know why Xiao Chen would say such a thing.

“Well I see that it’s what you’re trying to imply.”

“I’m not!” Yao Yao grew angry too, “Xiao Chen, you were kidnapped because of me, I feel bad, and I’m also very thankful for you. But what is all this? Are you just trying to vent your anger on me?”

“I…”
