Zhang Yiqin’s eyes were sinister as she watched Xia Zhengguang walk away.
’So much for being husband and wife. When disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways.’
"Ms. Zhang, we need you to cooperate with our investigation."
Zhang Yiqin had been completely uncooperative, bringing their work to a standstill.
"Fine. I’ll cooperate with the investigation."
Zhang Yiqin relented and followed an officer into the interrogation room.
As a criminal suspect, her treatment was naturally different from that of the victims, like Yun Zijin.
Tang Yu was in the observation room, watching Zhang Yiqin’s interrogation without a trace of sympathy.
’Anyone capable of kidnapping their own daughter should have expected the consequences.’

At 2:30 PM, Lu Yunque glanced at the silent break room, set down the file in his hand, and gently opened the door.
But just as the door opened, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
Yun Zijin, who had been sound asleep, was jolted awake by her alarm.
Lu Yunque stood at the doorway to the break room, not knowing whether to enter or leave.
Sensing someone at the door, Yun Zijin forced her eyes open and saw Lu Yunque standing there, looking awkward.
"It’s two-thirty. You hadn’t stirred, so I came to check on you."
’He hadn’t expected her to set an alarm. How awkward.’
"Please step out. I need to change."
Having just woken up, her voice was still a bit husky, and hearing it made Lu Yunque feel a little flustered.
"Okay."
Lu Yunque left the break room in a fluster, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
Yun Zijin sat on the bed, staring into space for a good while before her mind finally cleared and began to function.
Remembering the sight of Lu Yunque’s hasty retreat, she blinked. ’I didn’t do anything, did I?’
Deciding not to dwell on things she couldn’t understand, Yun Zijin simply got out of bed, changed back into her clothes, and quickly freshened up before leaving the break room.
"I had someone bring up some tea and pastries. You can have a snack if you’re hungry."
When Yun Zijin came out, Lu Yunque did his best to appear calm, not wanting her to think he had his mind in the gutter.
"Great, I’ll try some."
Yun Zijin’s eyes lit up when she saw the assortment of pastries on the coffee table.
"By the way, Xia Zhengguang has agreed to meet with our people. He must have more or less made up his mind."
’For Xia Zhengguang to change his mind in just a few hours, something must have happened within the Xia Family that they didn’t know about.’
"Since he’s willing to meet, let’s try to get as many shares as possible. It’s a shame Xia Zhiyun hasn’t responded."
’Then again, it could be that Xia Zhiyun doesn’t hold many shares to begin with, so he hasn’t even considered selling.’
"Don’t worry. I’ll always be on your side."
While eating the pastries, Yun Zijin started scrolling through the new arrivals her SAs had sent to her phone.
Buying a little here and a little there, she quickly spent ten million.
But her goal for the week was 180 million, so this was nowhere near enough.
After buying shoes, bags, and clothes, Yun Zijin started looking at watches.
Seeing Yun Zijin engrossed in tapping away on her phone, Lu Yunque quickly returned to his own work.
At 5:00 PM, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
The caller ID read: Tang Yu.
Seeing Tang Yu’s name, Yun Zijin immediately sat up straight.
’Lawyer Tang is handling my kidnapping case. For him to call, there must be a major development.’
Yun Zijin pressed the answer key.
