Chapter 97 Why didn't you knock before you came in!
Yan Zhuoyu's body was covered with soft tissue contusions and abrasions, but because of her fair skin, these injuries looked particularly shocking, with bruises and bluish-purple marks.
After a thorough examination by the doctor, it was confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong and that the patient only needed to rest and recover.
In the following days, the international psychological experts specially arranged by Pei Weijin also arrived, and Yan Zhuoyu cooperated very well in completing the assessment. Everything was gradually developing in a positive direction.
The police acted quickly, and Xin Nanshan's case is almost closed, but details about the kidnapping case still need to be finalized.
Therefore, with Yan Zhuoyu's consent, the two members of the task force visited again.
However, this case should have been handled by Captain Yang, but I heard that he was complained about for inappropriate language and went back to rectify and learn.
A short-haired policewoman sat efficiently at the round table and cut straight to the point: "Ms. Yan, based on the drug traces left at the scene and the reconstruction, we deduce that you were moved to the cabin while unconscious, with your limbs bound by ropes. How did you manage to escape under such dire circumstances?"
Yan Zhuoyu recounted the situation in detail without holding back, and then added with a smile, "It seems that watching more escape-themed movies and variety shows can come in handy at crucial moments."
The policewoman took meticulous notes.
Meanwhile, the male police officer standing nearby, recalling certain comments online, couldn't help but have doubts:
"But there's a leaky van blocking the entrance. You, a woman, couldn't possibly push it away by yourself, and you just happened to hide in the cellar?"
Yan Zhuoyu felt uncomfortable listening to his words: "So in your eyes, it's normal for me to stay put and wait for rescue?"
He frowned and fired off a barrage of questions: "I mean, were there any other people at the scene who assisted you? Or did you know something beforehand?"
Yan Zhuoyu was somewhat taken aback: "Officer Tang, do you mean that I orchestrated this kidnapping myself?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a routine inquiry." The male police officer shrugged and explained, "As police officers, we have to rule out all possibilities. This kind of situation is not unprecedented in the entertainment industry, especially for female celebrities who rely on public attention."
The policewoman interrupted the policeman's speech at the right moment and sternly reminded him: "Xiao Tang, watch your words and attitude."
The male police officer shut his mouth in embarrassment and said no more.
The policewoman asked in a gentle tone, "Ms. Yan, your escape is crucial to the case. If you feel uncomfortable while recalling your experience, we completely understand and can stop the questioning. But if you are willing to share, we would be very grateful."
Yan Zhuoyu was displeased, but she didn't show it to his face. She just secretly noted down the male police officer's badge number, intending to give feedback later.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. The wooden door is pieced together. Although I can't push the cart, I can use an iron basin to wed the gap in the door, and then use fire tongs to leverage the principle of leverage to remove a small piece of the wooden door. As for the van, I didn't push it at all. The bottom of the van is big enough for a person to crawl out."
After quickly finishing the statement and confirming that everything was correct, the policewoman thanked Yan Zhuoyu: "Thank you very much for your cooperation. I wish you a speedy recovery."
"You're too kind," Yan Zhuoyu replied calmly.
The male police officer moved his lips twice, as if he wanted to say something, but the female police officer next to him slapped the folder into his arms and spoke sternly.
"Xiao Tang, I will give your supervisor a truthful report on your internship performance today."
"Sister Chen, please don't..." The male police officer looked distressed.
Yan Zhuoyu watched the two leave the ward quickly, and without a second thought, dialed the complaint hotline.
No sooner had I finished filing the complaint than Qiao Xinyun called me via video call, as if she had timed it perfectly.
"Zhuoyu, how are you recovering? When can you be discharged from the hospital?"
Yan Zhuoyu put a pillow behind her back, leaned against the headboard, and curled her red lips: "What's wrong? You're getting impatient after four days without taking advantage of me?"
"What are you saying? What are you saying!" Qiao Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard how energetic she was.
"I'm relieved to see you're alright. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live with myself, since it was I who suggested you go to Xin Nanshan to film."
Yan Zhuoyu asked casually, "So, you called the human traffickers?"
Qiao Xinyun was taken aback, then laughed and said, "How could that be!"
"That's it."
Yan Zhuoyu brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said casually, "It's not like you caused me to get hurt. Don't take the blame on yourself. Mental exhaustion is very harmful to your health."
Qiao Xinyun felt warm inside after hearing her words and didn't bother her any longer: "Remember to post on Weibo after you're discharged from the hospital to reassure your fans. They've been quite worried about you since you haven't been online these past few days."
"Oh right, and there's also Zhu Xinian, haha." Qiao Xinyun suddenly burst out laughing.
Yan Zhuoyu asked curiously, "What did she do? How could she make you laugh like that?"
Qiao Xinyun shared the screenshot: "The day you got into trouble, Zhu Xinian made sarcastic remarks online, saying that you orchestrated the whole thing and incited a group of netizens. As a result, he was proven wrong by an official warning the next day, hahaha."
"Hmph, he brought it on himself."
"Alright, that's enough. Judging from how worried your partner is, you should rest well after being discharged from the hospital. I'll postpone all your other work for now, except for the audition for 'Sword Chant'."
Normally, Yan Zhuoyu would be overjoyed to hear about "delaying work," but the thought of those several packages that had already been signed for made her feel conflicted.
After a moment's hesitation, torn between being exploited and feeling ashamed, she replied in a defiant tone, "Actually, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and start working immediately. Sister Qiao, please fill my schedule completely. 'Home' is something you can go back to occasionally, there's nothing to miss about it. Work is the most important thing!"
The ward door clicked open.
Just as President Pei, who had just finished get off work, entered the room carrying a thermos, he overheard Yan Zhuoyu's "bold words".
He paused for a moment, then regained his composure, took off his suit jacket and hung it on the hanger, revealing a piece of gauze at the collar.
Under the cool lighting, the man's long, slender hands carefully opened the thermos, his movements gentle and considerate. His deep voice, like shattered ice shards, was filled with sorrow.
"It turns out that in my darling's heart, there's nothing about me worth missing."
Yan Zhuoyu lay frozen on the bed, while Qiao Xinyun on the other end of the video call was completely unaware of what had happened and was still ambitiously arranging her work.
"Alright, alright, since you're so insistent, of course I'll fully support you! Since the company changed leadership, our resources have improved significantly. Qimeng Luxury Goods' endorsement contract just expired, and the invitations are already prepared. We were initially hesitant about waiting for your return, but now it seems we should proceed as planned! After the official announcement of the endorser, we'll hold a charity gala as is customary. The last wine endorsement had a good effect, and a foreign brand has expressed interest in collaborating with us..."
Yan Zhuoyu appeared to be listening, but her mind was entirely on Pei Weijin. Quick-witted, she used her strengths to retort, "Why didn't you knock before you came in!"
