54: Old case

Time flew by, and in a blink, it was Thursday.

The past few days of busyness almost made Yan Zhuohua forget that several people from the Zhao Family were still holed up at the police station. There was nothing he could do; Yan Muxuan had once again piled a portion of his work onto Yan Zhuohua's desk.

It wasn't until Yan Zhuohua was busy preparing for an upcoming meeting that the call from the police station finally came in.

"Mr. Yan, I've reviewed the information you gave me and gone through the case files. It is indeed as you speculated, but I'll need more time to confirm the specific details. After all, it's an eight-year-old case, and re-investigating it still requires a lot of time."

"You can start with those Bodyguards from Zhao's. They are all master-disciple, passed down through generations; if you make a small crack, you can pull out a big opening. They are currently detained at your station, so interrogating them should be quick."

"Mr. Yan knows them very well?" The police officer's voice on the other end became more focused.

"Of course, because our family also has such a security team."

"Do your Bodyguard teams also help employers do these kinds of things? And, may I assume you deliberately sent these people to the police station for this case?"

"You don't need to probe me; our family doesn't engage in such activities. As for whether I did it intentionally, they ended up in the police station because they committed crimes, and the human and material evidence for these crimes is complete. I certainly didn't frame them." Yan Zhuohua was completely unfazed.

"Of course, we have basically confirmed their criminal actions against your loved one; there are no issues. It's just that you happened to send this information, and the people we need to investigate are also at the police station, so I just thought it was too much of a coincidence."

Yan Zhuohua chuckled, "Then just consider it a coincidence. Anyway, the result is that justice is served, so whether it was intentionally arranged or not, it doesn't matter, does it?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end before a voice came again, "You're right, as long as the facts are correct, these are not issues. I also hope you can continue to abide by the law like this."

"Our Yan Family, loyal to the motherland for generations and loving the people, never does anything morally corrupt. You can rest assured."

"Alright." Officer Liu's tone also relaxed. "I apologize for doubting you. I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Yan Zhuohua also smiled, "It's okay, I can understand your job nature and responsibilities; these are reasonable suspicions. Besides going to the police station, if there are other matters, I can also cooperate as much as possible. I just hope that before the case is thoroughly investigated, you can keep it confidential for me, including my loved one."

"I will."

Putting down his phone, Yan Zhuohua stood up and walked to the window.

After preparing for so long, he was finally about to see the light.

He suddenly wanted to see Yan Qinghe, so he simply went up to the 24th floor.

When he went up, Yan Qinghe had just hung up a call.

"You came at the right time. The police station just called me and said that the Zhao Family case is almost done with the interrogation, and they want us to go there sometime this week."

"How about tomorrow evening? I have to go to the Military Camp with Big Brother on the weekend, so I don't have time."

"Okay." Yan Qinghe agreed without objection. "By the way, why did you suddenly come up here?"

Yan Zhuohua had acted on a sudden impulse, and now that Yan Qinghe asked, he realized he didn't know how to explain.

He remembered the call Yan Qinghe had just hung up and had a flash of inspiration.

"I, I came to ask how the investigation into Wang Di stealing information is going."

After Yan Zhuohua finished speaking, he realized he had found a terrible excuse.

"That matter was already responded to two days ago; the person behind it cannot be traced for now. But haven't we already confirmed that Zhao Zichuo did it and retaliated?" Yan Qinghe said, then suddenly realized something was off, "Didn't you tell me about this?"

Yan Zhuohua gave an awkward smile.

Yan Qinghe understood.

"Oh, you came up because you missed me, didn't you? And you found such a flimsy excuse." Yan Qinghe smiled triumphantly.

"Yes, is that not allowed?" Seeing his excuse exposed, Yan Zhuohua decided to give up completely.

Yan Qinghe happily stood up and embraced the person in front of him, leaning down to place a light kiss on his nose.

"Of course you can, you can come see me anytime, because I'm thinking of you every moment."

Yan Zhuohua buried his face in Yan Qinghe's neck, and his hands gradually embraced him.

The two of them hugged like that for a long time.

After a while, Yan Qinghe finally let him go and pulled him to sit together in the office chair.

"Are you unhappy? Is that why you wanted to see me?"

"No, it's just..." Yan Zhuohua didn't know how to explain.

"It's okay, if you don't want to talk about it, don't. I can wait for you." Yan Qinghe gently comforted Yan Zhuohua, "Are you busy later? Want to work here with me?"

"I'm going to... wait, I have a meeting to attend!" Yan Zhuohua instantly reacted, quickly checking the time on the computer in front of him; he was already late.

"I'm leaving now, I'll come back at noon!"

With the last word, Yan Zhuohua had already rushed out of the office.

Yan Qinghe looked at his empty embrace, sat back down with a wry smile, and continued working.

On Friday afternoon, because they still had to go to the police station, Yan Zhuohua and Yan Qinghe finished their work early and drove away from the company.

They had contacted the police station before leaving, so they smoothly arrived at the reception room.

After a short wait, Officer Liu, who was in charge of their case, pushed the door open and entered.

"Happy Friday, you two! I called you here to briefly inform you about the progress of our case." Officer Liu seemed like a very cheerful person; as soon as he entered, he handed each of them a bottle of Wahaha AD Calcium Milk.

Yan Zhuohua and Yan Qinghe cooperatively inserted straws and took a sip. A familiar taste.

"We thoroughly interrogated Zhao Mingting, Zhao Zhongkai, Miss Zhao Zijing, the three main suspects, as well as their three subordinates."

"After repeated interrogations, site inspections, and also thanks to the strong support and guidance from the witnesses, we have basically confirmed their criminal acts." When mentioning those witnesses, Officer Liu's face twisted for a moment.

"Combining the confessions of several individuals, we deduced their plan. Zhao Mingting and Zhao Zhongkai, wanting to establish a connection with your family to gain benefits, planned to frame Mr. Yan Qinghe and Miss Zhao Zijing for having relations. They also prepared doctors and medical equipment at the scene, intending to collect some... things while you were unconscious, to be used later for Miss Zhao Zijing to undergo IVF, achieving their goal of having Miss Zhao Zijing conceive your child."

Yan Zhuohua and Yan Qinghe were both stunned. They hadn't expected that the doctors and medical equipment there at the time had such a purpose?

Yan Zhuohua looked teasingly at the embarrassed Yan Qinghe next to him, "They were quite well-prepared, it's a pity you didn't get to experience it."

Yan Qinghe didn't speak, just gave Yan Zhuohua's waist a threatening look.

Yan Zhuohua: "They are truly shameless! Officer, please continue."

Officer Liu had been watching the silent exchange between them, not interrupting, even wishing he had some melon seeds. Now, called upon by Yan Zhuohua, he became serious again and continued his narration.

"Of course, they also planned to accuse Mr. Yan of rape after the incident, sending him to prison. This way, they could take advantage of the internal chaos in the Yan Family and, using the child in Miss Zhao's womb, gain entry into the family and scheme for benefits."

Yan Zhuohua and Yan Qinghe's expressions changed. So the Zhao Family had also planned to frame Yan Qinghe, their ambitions were enormous. It seemed they absolutely could not be let off easily.
