    Wen Xinya was looking through the notes that Zhong Rufeng hadpiled for her in the condominium when she heard a sudden knocking on the door. She had no choice but to put down her notebook and proceed to open the door.


    A middle-aged man dressed in a police uniform said coldly with a sullen expression on his face, “Miss Wen, I’m Inspector Wang Hanjie from the police station. Miss Jiang Ruoyin went missingst night and we’re suspecting that she has been kidnapped. The investigations are going on now, and we heard that you had a major conflict with her in the past. Please follow us back to the police station for further investigations.”


    Wen Xinya raised her brows, stared at Wan Hanjie, and said, “Let’s go!”


    Wen Xinya was shocked to hear that Jiang Ruoyin had gone missing. However, she was bewildered to be implicated and falsely used as a suspect. Hence, she decided to go and take a look.


    Wen Xinya was brought to the police station.


    All the relevant persons were present at the police station, including Jiang Ruoyin’s mother and Chu Jingnan. To Wen Xinya’s astonishment, even Xia Ruya, Jiang Yuqian, and Xia Ruxue were around.


    She finally understood why she had been embroiled into the matter.


    Wen Xinya was brought to the interrogations room.


    “We’ve understood from the statements of Jiang Ruoyin’s family members that Miss Jiang lost contact with them since twelve noon yesterday. The Jiang family tried to call her multiple times but couldn’t reach her at all. It’s already been 35 hours since she has gone missing...” Wang Hanjie exined briefly.


    Wang Hanjie was actually in disbelief that a fifteen-year-old like her would resort to kidnapping someone. However, he was extremely anxious and wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, especially since the kidnapped person was the precious daughter of the Jiang family.


    Jiang Yuqian and the rest of Wen Xinya’s ssmates had all imed that Wen Xinya had had a major conflict with Jiang Ruoyin in the past and that Wen Xinya had caused Jiang Ruoyin to be chased out of Lan Feng Institute. They even told the police that Wen Xinya used to be a gangster on the streets, and that she was ruthless enough tomit any possible crime.


    Wang Hanjie instructed his subordinates to find out all the relevant information about Wen Xinya for the past fifteen years, as well as the records of her assaulting others. He then found out that she had been detained by the police for a total of four times.


    Wen Xinya sat beside the table and stared at her mobile phone screen, seemingly uninterested in whatever Wang Hanjie had to say.


    Angered by her nonchnce, Wang Hanjie chastised, “Miss Wen, please take note of your attitude and cooperate with us for the investigation of this case.”


    “Okay, ask whatever you have to,” Wen Xinya answered, still keeping her eyes glued onto her mobile phone screen.


    Wang Hanjie’s face grew even more sullen and he questioned, “Are you rted to Miss Jiang Ruoyin’s missing case?”


    Wang Hanjie cut straight to the chase instead of following the standard protocol of interrogations. Although he was only the chief of a small police post, everyone held him with high respect and would often butter him up because his brother-inw, Jiang Wenzhe, was the son-inw of the Zhang family. Yet, Wen Xinya actually disregarded him and did not even bother looking at him. He could not stand her attitude at all.


    Wen Xinya answered, “It has nothing to do with me!”


    Wang Hanjie had a sullen expression on his face. He questioned sternly, “However, your ssmates have all imed that you left the Institute after school yesterday and that it happened to be at the same timing that Miss Jiang lost contact with her family. How do you exin that?”


    She had gone out to meet Li Mengjie during noontime yesterday, to discuss the opening of the shop front. She exined, “During noontime yesterday, I went out to have coffee with a friend at a nearby coffee house. There should be surveince cameras in that café. You may check the footages to verify my alibi.”


    Wang Hanjie immediately asked for the café’s address and sent his subordinates to look into it, before calling Li Mengjie to get her toe to the police station for interrogations.


    Soon, he was told that the surveince camera footage had proved Wen Xinya’s words to be true.


    Wang Hanjie glowered at Wen Xinya and said, “You may have an alibi, but that’s not enough to prove your innocence. After all, you don’t have to carry out the abduction yourself. You can just make a call and get someone else to do it for you.”


    Wen Xinya retorted with an austere expression. “Inspector Wang, please mind your words. I’m here to assist in investigations, not to be used as a suspect. What you just said was a prejudiced innuendo and you’ve already infringed upon my human rights. I have the right to sue you.”


    ring at Wen Xinya coldly, Wang Hanjie said, “Miss Wen, I’m officially informing you now that you’ve already be a prime suspect of this case. So... Miss Wen, are you still going to sue me?”


    Wen Xinya mmed her hand onto the table and shifted all her weight forward before standing up from the chair slowly. She leaned forward and kept his eyes fixed on Wang Hanjie. “What rights do you have to pin me as a suspect?”


    “I have the rights to do that because of the very fact that you had a major conflict with Jiang Ruoyin in the past!” he eximed at Wen Xinya, who was ring daggers at him. Wang Hanjie could not help but get the chills. He did not expect a fifteen-year-old to have such a menacing gaze.


    Wen Xinya smirked coldly. Her smile was mirthless, and yet enough to make someone flustered. She said, “This is just a conjecture of yours. It’s not sufficient to be used as evidence in court. Are you bullying me just because you think that I don’t know thew?”


    Wang Hanjie could not help but feel flustered. He was indeed just trying to frighten Wen Xinya, whom he thought was not aware of the protocols andws of the nation. After all, he had been a policeman for years and encountered lots of criminals and suspects, most of whom were uninformed of thews. There were rarely any who could keep theirposure and remain so dauntless in front of the police.


    Yet, he had encountered a tough nut to crack today.


    Wen Xinya pressed her lips together and put on a sinister smile. “Inspector Wang, you don’t have an eyewitness or any concrete evidence yet. How could you use me and pin me as the prime suspect? I have the right to remain silent before mywyer arrives.”


    “Miss Wen, this is only a misunderstanding. I was just saying that casually. I don’t intend to record your statement and keep it in the file. Hence, you’re only here to assist in investigations,” said a panicked Wang Hanjie, for he knew that Wen Xinya belonged to the wealthy and powerful Wen Family. If she were to call herwyer, she would definitely be able to sue him for his statement.


    Even his brother-inw would not be able to save him if that were to happen.


    Wen Xinya removed her hands from the table slowly and sat down on the chair slowly. “A misunderstanding? Inspector Wang, you’re really great at cracking jokes. The police station is a ce of justice and yet, such misunderstandings actually happened. I really doubt yourpetence in solving cases.”


    Wang Hanjie was at a loss for words.
