Under the comfort of the policewoman, the girl gradually calmed down and began to talk about what had happened to her.
Ye Yao’s sharp eyes noticed that the few human traffickers who were recording their statements seemed to be trembling. They were trying their best to hide themselves. Ye Yao raised her eyebrow. She was very confident in her jinxing ability! That’s right. Ye Yao went forward to speak to the girl and then pointed at the men. “Do you know them?”
The girl looked in the direction Ye Yao was pointing. When she saw those people, her pupils constricted and she screamed almost immediately, “It’s them! It’s them! Officers, they kidnapped me. I have evidence! I want to sue them. I want them to go to jail!”
The girl was especially agitated, and the human trafficker broke out in cold sweat, immediately pointing to the fact that something was amiss. Seeing the inevitability that these people would go to jail, Ye Yao felt that the matter would come to a closure here. However, Huo Buyu didn’t think so.
He said, “This isn’t a coincidence. Someone must be behind this.”
Ye Yao leaned into Huo Buyu’s arms and yawned lazily. “Then let’s wait for the next time he attacks me to catch him.”
Huo Buyu lowered his head and glanced at Ye Yao. “You’re really generous.” He suppressed his anger. This matter could have been serious. If it weren’t for Ye Yao’s Verbal Virtuosity Technique, she might have been kidnapped and sold into the depths of the mountains. At the thought of this possibility, Huo Buyu trembled inside. However, Ye Yao acted as if nothing had happened and wasn’t worried about her own safety at all. How forgiving was she?
Ye Yao shrugged, not understanding Huo Buyu’s lingering fear at all. She said faintly, “Actually, it’s very easy to catch the mastermind.”
Huo Buyu’s expression darkened. “It’s a little troublesome to investigate.”
“No, no, no. That’s so simple.” Ye Yao took out her phone and placed it on the table. Then, she said, “The person who is trying to harm me will call me now.”
As soon as Ye Yao finished speaking, her phone screen suddenly lit up. It was an incoming call.
Actually, Ye Yao was also very curious who would have arranged for her to be kidnapped and sold. It was such a sinister plot. In her heart, she had a few suspects. Hence, when she saw the unfamiliar phone number on the caller ID, she was a little stunned. She picked up the phone in front of Huo Buyu. “Hello.”
“Ye Yao.” Ye Yao was stunned when he heard this voice. This person was not within her expectations. It was Zhou Jianzhong, Zhou Chen’s father.
Back then, when Ye Yao and Zhou Chen were together, Zhou Chen’s mother, Tang Sumei, had tried to break them up. She clearly hated Ye Yao and did not want her to be with Zhou Chen. However, Zhou Chen’s father, Zhou Jianzhong, treated Ye Yao quite well. Occasionally, when Tang Sumei objected to Zhou Chen and Ye Yao, he would speak up, saying that the children will make their own decisions, adults should not interfere too much. Moreover, Zhou
Jianzhong had watched Ye Yao grow up and was rather loving towards her.
Sometimes, he treated her even better than her own father did.
Ye Yao had thought that the person who wanted to harm her might be Qin Jiao, Ye Tianhao, Ye Sui, or even Zhou Chen, but she had never thought that it would be Zhou Jianzhong.
She sucked in a deep breath and said to Zhou Jianzhong on the other end of the phone, “Uncle Zhou, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly calling me?”
“Sigh.” Zhou Jianzhong sighed and said, “Ye Yao, I know I shouldn’t have called you, but Zhou Chen’s feelings for you are too deep. He took sleeping pills at nome last mgnt…
Ye Yao was stunned. Zhou Chen took sleeping pills? What was he doing? Was he trying to kill himself?
Ye Yao asked, “How is he now? Did he go to the hospital?”
Zhou Jianzhong replied, “Yes, he had a gastric lavage. Fortunately, I discovered it in time. Otherwise… Sigh… what a sin. I didn’t expect us to end up like this. Ye Yao, Zhou Chen is in a semi-conscious state now. Uncle has no choice. Can you come and see him?”
Ye Yao was silent for a moment. “Uncle Zhou, when did Zhou Chen take the sleeping pill?”
Zhou Jianzhong said, “An hour ago.”
Therefore, Ye Yao thought, the reason why she was kidnapped was not because Zhou Chen had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. Zhou Jianzhong had planned it way before. Ye Yao had to admit that she had bad sensing. She could not tell who was good to her and who had bad intentions towards her.
She sighed. “Uncle Zhou, it’s not that I don’t want to go to the hospital to see Zhou Chen, but our relationship is awkward now. If Ye Sui finds out that I’ve gone to see Zhou Chen, she’ll cause trouble again..”
