Chapter 1521: Chapter 1514: Epilogue (5)

The ball suddenly kicked over to Zhao Zihuan’s side again, and the police quickly invited him for a "tea talk." He was even more composed than Cai Yiren, and before the police took him away, he even asked, "Could I finish my freshly brewed coffee before we go?"

After receiving a negative answer, he didn’t get angry. He turned around and instructed his assistant, "You’ll take care of the following matters."

Then, calmly adjusting his clothes, he took bold strides to get into the police car and went to the station.

In the interrogation room, he was quite amiable, starting off by giving a detailed account of his own background. He said he was an orphan, adopted by a German couple as a child, ran away once due to abuse, and after being taken back by the orphanage, he was taken in by Director Du of Zhongtian Steel, who also supported his education. When it came to Lu Weixi, he nodded in recognition immediately, declaring that they were good friends and that he was the primary physician for her mother, who had cancer for many years. When asked about his rivalry with Hanhai, he did not deny it: "In the business world, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Hanhai was once our partner, and now that they’re in trouble, it’s naturally good if we can get a share of their business. So at this point in time, it’s accurate to say that we are competitors. This has nothing to do with my friendship with Lu Weixi; personal matters are separate from business."

The interrogator frowned and asked, "Do you know that Lu Weixi has been kidnapped? And that it was your idea?"

Zhao Zihuan was astonished, as if he had heard something inconceivable: "What are you talking about? She’s been kidnapped? When did this happen? I’ve never heard anything about it. Wait, my idea, what do you mean by that?"

The interrogator repeated what Qin Zhizhi had said, and Zhao Zihuan explained, "I did say that, but I was drunk after drinking with him, it was just careless talk. How was I to know he would take it seriously and actually kidnap someone?"

"Then why did you describe it so specifically, even mentioning SIM cards and accounts?"

Zhao Zihuan laughed, "Well, I have a friend who is a police officer. I minored in forensic science in college and am interested in criminal investigation. As you know my current position, I might also become a target for kidnapping, so besides having bodyguards, I also need to anticipate what dangerous situations might arise. I don’t deny these words, I did say them. But you can’t attribute this nonsense I said while drunk to me, right? If you don’t believe me, feel free to check my call records, my account information. If there’s a single inconsistency, I’m willing to take responsibility."

The interrogators looked at each other with mutual understanding; indeed, verbal statements cannot serve as evidence. Unless there is evidence of prolonged enticement and brainwashing. They asked further, "When you envisioned the kidnapping, did you make any assumptions about what would happen to the victim? Where would they end up?"

Zhao Zihuan laughed again: "How would I know something like this? I remember, at that time, the woman with Qin the Third did ask, and my answer was: ’Adapt to the situation.’"

But Zhao Zihuan did know.

If Liu Yiyi did things according to his ideas.

Lu Weixi had been running all night without a clear direction; she just focused on running uphill. But halfway through, she thought she faintly heard someone calling her "Xixi"—it was Qin Zhiyou’s voice!

She immediately scrambled toward Qin Zhiyou’s presumed location, crawling through the night, and finally, amidst the distant woods, she caught a glimpse of a figure darting through, resembling Qin Zhiyou!
