“No, but during the process of capturing Cheng Yan, there was indeed something strange.”

In the face of Lang Nan’s question, Wang Ming still didn’t hide what he felt was wrong. “When the arrest was carried out in the underground garage of the Federation Hospital, Cheng Yan wasn’t among the suspects we caught. But after that night, the guards who stayed behind found her in the corner of the garage again. At that time, she was still extremely weak.”

Lang Nan spat out a ring of smoke that lingered in the air above the office, making it look a little hazy. “Chief Wang, do you mean that Cheng Yan has disappeared into thin air during this period of time?”

“I wouldn’t say that. But it’s the only strange thing that happened during the capture.”

Wang Ming sensed that Lang Nan’s tone had become slightly serious over the phone, and quickly explained, “But it’s more likely that Director Cheng was hiding somewhere in the garage at the time. My subordinates were slightly negligent during the search and didn’t notice her.”

“Was there anyone else in the underground garage besides you?”

Lang Nan did not stop at all and began to ask a series of questions. “Or is there another force hiding in the hospital?”

Now that things had come to this, Wang Ming knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he might as well tell the truth.

“Yes.”

After some internal struggle, Wang Ming still answered truthfully, “Zhou Xuan, Shan Yue, and their assistants were present at that time. There were also some of President Zhou’s thugs.”

“Why are Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue there too?”

“I’m sorry, Deputy Governor Lang. Actually, 1 hid something from you at the beginning.”

There was a hint of apology in Wang Ming’s tone. “It was President Zhou’s assistant who reported the case to us. By the time 1 arrived with my men, Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue were already there. It’s true that Cheng Yan and the others committed crimes. There are witnesses and evidence in the hospital, so I didn’t pursue the matter for so many reasons.”

With Wang Ming’s words, Lang Nan’s train of thought instantly became clear, and he had basically guessed what was going on.

Although it was only a guess and there was no concrete evidence to prove it, it was better to believe it than not.

If Cheng Yan had really been taken away by one of Zhou Xuan and Shan Yue and could return to the police station alive, there was only one possibility. She must have said something valuable.

At this moment, Lang Nan’s trust in Cheng Yan had been greatly reduced. He was even beginning to suspect if the other party had betrayed him.

However, after a slight pause, he raised his thin lips again. “Cheng Yan has been locked up there for a week. What did she say about the hospital?”

“She really didn’t say anything.” Wang Ming replied very firmly, “During this period, we interrogated her many times, and even used a little trick. But that’s all. Her reaction was silence, nothing else.”

This answer still comforted Lang Nan. At least Cheng Yan had not ratted him out in public.

The new provincial governor was going to vote for the election again. In the current situation, he still held a high authority in the hearts of the masses. As long as the new antidote for the virus was developed by his team, the new provincial governor would be his. Therefore, at this critical moment, he would not allow anyone to cause trouble.

Lang Nan had basically finished asking all the questions he needed to ask. His main goal was to fish Cheng Yan out. After all, she knew too much about him. Whether she was a threat to him or not, Lang Nan could not let her continue to stay in the police station.

If this continued, he would be the most unlucky one if she couldn’t take it anymore or felt that he had given up on her.

“Chief Wang, 1 have another presumptuous request.. 1 wonder if you can make an exception and fulfill my wish?”
