"My apologies, I’m sorry to have kept you both waiting. I just rushed back from the office."
Although he was furious inside, Xia Zhiyun forced a gentle smile as he approached the two officers to shake their hands. He was, after all, dealing with public officials.
"And you are...?"
The two officers were a bit confused to see a man return.
They were looking for Zhang Yiqin, a woman they believed to be over forty years old.
"Oh, forgive me, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Zhang Yiqin’s son. My mother is currently in the hospital. If there’s anything you need, you can speak with me. I’ll have our lawyer actively handle this matter."
No matter what, Zhang Yiqin was his biological mother. He couldn’t just leave her to fend for herself.
"In the hospital?"
The two officers were surprised. ’Isn’t this a bit too coincidental?’
"My mother has a fever and is unconscious. She’s currently admitted to Kangde Hospital."
The implication was clear: she was unconscious, so even if they wanted to issue a summons, they would have to wait until she woke up.
And before Zhang Yiqin woke up, he had time to figure out what exactly had happened.
’If there’s been some kind of misunderstanding, I’ll make damn sure they compensate us for all our losses!’
Making a member of the Xia Family take the fall for something wasn’t going to be that easy.
"We’ll need to go to the hospital to verify the situation."
If her condition was as described, they would naturally have to wait for her to regain consciousness before proceeding with the summons.
"Of course. However, since the situation is still unclear, I hope you two can change into plain clothes."
Even now, Xia Zhiyun still trusted Zhang Yiqin.
Zhang Yiqin was timid and lacked initiative. Xia Zhiyun found it hard to believe that she could be involved in a kidnapping plot.
The two officers furrowed their brows at Xia Zhiyun’s request. If they had to change, they would need to go back to the station.
"If it’s inconvenient, you’re welcome to wear some of my clothes..."
"That won’t be necessary. We’ll go back to the station to change. Just give us Ms. Zhang’s room number."
Although they were almost certain about the case, it wasn’t officially closed yet. Since the family had made a request, they should do their best to accommodate it.
However, they both tacitly refused Xia Zhiyun’s offer to lend them his clothes.
As public servants, they couldn’t take so much as a needle and thread from the people.
Besides, clothes from a rich kid like him were bound to be ridiculously expensive. If they actually wore them, they might get hit with a counter-accusation of accepting bribes later on.
’Never harbor ill intentions, but always be on your guard.’
Xia Zhiyun forced a smile and gave them Zhang Yiqin’s room number. The two officers noted it down and left the Xia Family’s villa.
After politely seeing the men out, the expression on Xia Zhiyun’s face instantly darkened.
"What the hell is going on?! How did Mom get mixed up in a kidnapping?!"
Xia Zhiyun turned to the butler, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying to look at.
"Young Master, I really don’t know."
The butler himself was completely baffled; it was useless for Xia Zhiyun to ask him.
Seeing the butler insist that he didn’t know, Xia Zhiyun was at a loss. In the end, he could only set the matter aside and wait for Zhang Yiqin to wake up.
Still, he had someone start looking into it.
"I’m going back to the office. You go to the hospital and watch over my mother. Call me the instant she wakes up."
Xia Zhiyun had zero trust in Xia Jiajiao. He needed the butler to keep an eye on things.
Besides, no one was home anyway, so it didn’t matter if the butler was there or not.
"Very well. I’ll leave right away."
