Everything went smoothly.

Because the time and place were clear, just four minutes later, the two saw the scene of the long-haired girl making a phone call.

The footage shows Zhao Xue answering a phone call in a blind spot at the end of the corridor.

However, since it was in a fire escape and there were no security cameras, the exact content of the phone call was unknown.

When she reappeared on screen, she seemed to have lost her soul, and even staggered as she walked out of the hospital while wiping away tears, eventually disappearing around the corner of the street.

Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry to ask about the phone, but instead pressed for details about whether there were surveillance cameras in the fire escape, the older man in the hat immediately saw through the problem.

"You didn't lose your phone, did you? Are you here to investigate someone?"

Jiang Chen quickly explained the situation truthfully.

Uncle Hat also fell silent.

They didn't blame Jiang Chen for making a false police report, but simply asked, "Do you know who called her?"

Jiang Chen and Sun Mengjia shook their heads at the same time.

If they knew, why would they need you to check the surveillance footage?

But the next second, Sun Mengjia said with absolute certainty, "It must be his uncle!"

Sun Mengjia explained urgently, "Officer, she's an orphan. Her uncle forced her to marry a mentally challenged man. She escaped; her uncle must have threatened her."

The police officer frowned: "If it's a domestic dispute, or if she left voluntarily, then it's more difficult to handle. After all, she's an adult and has the freedom to move around."

"Furthermore..." The police officer glanced at the two of them, his tone scrutinizing, "You are not her immediate family members, and we cannot verify the truth of what you are saying."

"If we randomly help you find people, and you happen to be bad people, wouldn't we become accomplices?"

Although it sounds harsh, it makes sense.

But who is Sun Mengjia?

I don't care if you're right or wrong, all I know is that my best friend has gone missing and there's a high chance something bad has happened to her.

It's even possible that someone might have a moment of despair and take their own life.

You're telling me I'm a bad guy?

"Who the hell are you calling a bad guy? Do I look like a bad guy? I'm her best friend!"

"As the 'Uncle Hat,' instead of helping me find the person, you're questioning me!"

As Sun Mengjia's words became increasingly offensive, her credibility was being questioned.

Jiang Chen quickly covered her mouth and pulled her behind him.

He took a deep breath, looked at the policeman who had already frowned and looked unfriendly, and said sincerely, "Comrade, I know you have regulations and difficulties."

"We were in the wrong to begin with. My friend acted impulsively, and I apologize on her behalf."

"But she was also too excited and too worried."

"After all, a girl answered the phone and left crying, and we couldn't get through to her. We were really worried that something had happened to her."

"She has no money on her, and no other relatives here. She just ran out crying. What if she suddenly decides to take her own life?"

The young man in the hat said, "It's alright."

The older man glared at him, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked him straight in the eye without any fear and said, "I don't want to know the contents of her phone call right now. I just want to find her."

"I request that this be treated as a missing person report!"

"As you know, sometimes many people who attempt suicide do so because they can't let go of a single thought and end up in a dead end."

"She doesn't even have anyone to comfort her now."

Jiang Chen wasn't worried about her being pressured to get married.

I'm afraid they might encounter other difficulties.

For example, being harassed by loan sharks who lend money without consent, or being threatened by an ex-boyfriend who has some leverage over her.

This is the most likely scenario where something bad will happen.

As a young woman with a spiritual outlook, Jiang Chen didn't know if this was normal or not, but since it had already happened, he had to think about the worst-case scenario.

It's not that I'm denying Zhao Xue's character, but rather that I'm genuinely worried about her.

We can't really expect her to come back on her own in a few days.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath: "I can go to the police station with you to give a statement, and you can watch me the whole time. If you find out I'm a bad guy, you can arrest me anytime, and I won't complain."

"All I want now is for you to check the surveillance footage or cell phone signal to confirm her safety."

Seeing Jiang Chen's sincere gaze, the two men in hats exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that he had a chance, Jiang Chen said again, "Whether it's making a false police report, or some other way of occupying public resources, or if my behavior has any other problems, I can take responsibility. I can accept fines or detention if necessary."

"If all else fails, I'll call the police again and say she stole my phone and ran away. I'll check the surveillance footage under that pretext, okay?"

"When the time comes, you can do whatever you want with me."

Sometimes, things happen in the blink of an eye, leaving no time for him to think.

He couldn't afford to search slowly.

Moreover, judging from Zhao Xue's mental state, even if she is not suicidal, there are many cars and people outside. What if she gets into a car accident if she is not careful?

Although Jiang Chen hadn't known Zhao Xue for long, he always felt that she was a bit of a tease.

But I also know that this girl is not a bad person.

I also know how strong she is.

He genuinely didn't want to see Zhao Xue have any problems during the Chinese New Year.

I don't want to see people wandering the streets, even during the Lunar New Year.

She's just a 21-year-old girl.

Normally, this is the age to go to university and enjoy life.

Even just being homeless on the streets during the Lunar New Year must be incredibly painful and frustrating.

The two men in hats looked at each other again, and the younger man said, "I think we should help check it out. It's the New Year, so we can just look at it ourselves and not let him see it."

"Let's try to get in touch with them first and make sure they're alright, that should be enough."

Uncle Old Hat snorted coldly: "You sure know how to play the good guy."

"Go ahead and investigate, I don't care. You'll have to write your own report later."

The young man in the hat twitched at the corner of his mouth.

But she still smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "The situation is special, and lives are at stake. You two come back to the station with us to make a detailed statement. I'll apply for technical means to check her call records and whereabouts."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Jiang Chen and Sun Mengjia thanked him profusely and got into the police car.

however.

This scene was witnessed by the people in a black Camry.

Holy crap!

Qiangzi, sitting in the driver's seat, almost popped his eyes out.

He originally came to pick up his girlfriend Zhang Li to go home for the Chinese New Year, because Zhang Li wanted to eat an egg burger near the hospital, so he brought Zhang Li here specifically.

To my utter surprise, I saw Jiang Chen being taken away by Uncle Hat.

He felt the pent-up anger in his chest finally dissipate.

Cool!

cool!

Heaven truly has eyes.

Let you show off!

You dared to act tough with me? You've been arrested now.

I knew it. How could an ordinary person like you suddenly become so rich?

The hospital where the arrest took place was a high-end private hospital.

Could it be that Jiang Chenqian is involved in organ trafficking?

Thinking of this, Qiangzi started the car and followed, while taking out his phone and handing it to Zhang Li, who was eating a meat and egg burger in the passenger seat.

"Quick, take a picture for me, quick!"

"I just saw it! Jiang Chen and his girlfriend were taken away by Uncle Hat!"
