Chapter 40 If you have evidence, arrest me

As evening approached, Zhao Yanan finished her work and called the heads of each department to the conference room to briefly discuss the cooperation project signed with General Manager Jin.

"Do you have any objections?"

The crowd remained silent.

"Then let's settle it for now. Meeting adjourned."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Minister Yang from the Artist Management Department suddenly smiled and said, "General Manager Zhao, should we start calling you the boss's wife from now on?"

Zhao Yanan looked at her with a cold expression and said, "Are you free?"

The flattery fell flat, and the thirty-something minister felt somewhat embarrassed.

Zhao Yanan gave her a disdainful glance and addressed the group, "I hope no one will discuss my relationship with General Manager Chu in the future. The reason we kept our marriage private is that we don't want to make it too public."

Before she could finish, everyone's attention was suddenly drawn to the door.

The next moment, Zhao Yanan heard that annoying man's voice coming from the entrance, "Wife, it's almost time to get off work. Have you decided what you want to eat?"

Zhao Yanan:…

The crowd: So this is what they mean by keeping it low-key?

"General Manager Chu, we're in a meeting!" Zhao Yanan turned to look at him, her eyes filled with a warning as if saying, "Are you out of your mind?"

Chu Yuxuan ignored the warning look and said with a smile, "It's fine. You continue your meeting; I'm just watching. No conflict."

Suppressing her anger, Zhao Yanan said to her assistant, "Xiao Wei, go and close the door."

Xiao Wei:…

General Manager Zhao, I'm just an inexperienced kid. Can you really push me into the fire like this?

As the young assistant was caught in a dilemma, a cold female voice suddenly echoed from the hallway, "Chu Yuxuan!"

Upon hearing her name called, the young rake turned his head to see who it was and his expression suddenly stiffened.

The people present were startled and thought in unison: Who is this lady coming to collect a debt of romance? Our General Manager Chu has such a beautiful wife, yet he's still not satisfied? Is this the joy of being rich?

Thinking this, they all looked at Zhao Yanan, some with a hint of sympathy.

Zhao Yanan felt uncomfortable under the gaze of the company's key figures. She glared at Chu Yuxuan standing at the door and was about to speak when a beautiful female police officer in uniform appeared at the door and unceremoniously grabbed Chu Yuxuan by the collar!

"I need you to cooperate with an investigation. Come with me!"

Everyone: ???

Zhao Yanan was taken aback, frowning in confusion.

"Officer," Chu Yuxuan said calmly with a slight smile, "What case?"

The police officer's attitude was firm, "You know what it's about! Come with me!"

Seeing this, the head of the Legal Department quickly walked over, "Hello, officer. I am the company's legal counsel. May I ask what the matter is with our General Manager Chu?"

The police officer glanced at him and said, "I can't disclose that!"

The legal head remained calm, "Do you have any official documents? If not, I'm sorry, but our General Manager Chu is very busy right now and cannot accompany you."

The police officer glared angrily at Chu Yuxuan and said, "I'll ask one more time. Are you coming or not?"

The legal head was about to speak again when Chu Yuxuan raised a hand to interrupt, "Let's go. I haven't said I wouldn't go. What are you getting so worked up about? Actually, you look better when you smile."

Zhao Yanan: This dog man flirts with everyone!

Legal head: ?

Why does it feel like they know each other? Did I overstep?

The police officer said nothing further and dragged Chu Yuxuan out.

The legal head looked at Zhao Yanan, unsure of what to do, "General Manager Zhao, should I go with them?"

"No need," Zhao Yanan took a deep breath and said to the administrative head, "The security department needs to be restructured."

The administrative head, looking fearful, replied, "Yes, General Manager Zhao. I'll handle it right away."

At the criminal police team's forensic office, the beautiful police officer pointed to a body that had clearly been waterlogged and asked Chu Yuxuan, "Do you recognize this person?"

Chu Yuxuan recognized the deceased as the boss of the loan company and calmly shook his head, "How would I know him?"

The police officer sneered, "Zhao Peng, the boss of Rose Financial, who, before the new year, was involved in a r*p* case with three of his employees. The victim's name is Chen Ting. Do I need to continue? You should know better than I do!"

"Oh... So it's him!" Chu Yuxuan feigned shock, "I know about Tingting's case. I can only say, this kind of scum deserved to die!"

The police officer's face remained stern as she stared at Chu Yuxuan for a long time. After sending the other two officers out, she said solemnly, "I've investigated. Chen Qiang is your classmate."

"Yes," Chu Yuxuan shrugged, "That's why I know Chen Ting."

The police officer fixed her gaze on his eyes, "Chen Qiang has a cousin named Chen Hong."

Chu Yuxuan appeared thoughtful, "I don't know him."

"Ha... Chu Yuxuan, are you pretending to be confused in front of me? On the night of June 17 ten years ago, there was a car accident at Nanwan Pier. When the police arrived, they only found a wrecked BMW. After investigation, it was confirmed that the car owner, Jiang Xiuzhi, and the driver, Chen Hong, were missing. A month later, Jiang Xiuzhi's body was accidentally recovered by fishermen, confirming the death occurred between 28 and 33 days after the disappearance. Chen Hong's whereabouts are still unknown."

Jiang Xiuzhi was Chu Yuxuan's mother.

Chu Yuxuan blinked slowly and said, "That's all old news. Why bring it up now?"

"You're getting close to Chen Qiang and going all out to help him just to find Chen Hong, right?" The police officer's words hit the mark.

Chu Yuxuan's expression gradually darkened the moment he heard his mother's name. "Officer, I only helped him with medical expenses because I felt sorry for him. That's all. It's not really going all out. I've bought women's bags worth more than that!"

"Still pretending? Chu Yuxuan! You left the hospital just an hour ago, and Chen Ting came back saying she escaped by herself. Is that a lie? The loan company's account was emptied, and several documents containing evidence of the loan company's crimes were unlocked and placed openly on the desk. The tech department told me that if it weren't placed openly, it would be very hard to find! Furthermore, all the surveillance at the loan company was hacked, and even the nearby road surveillance was deleted. Chu Yuxuan, this kind of method is something only you or someone you hired could do."

Chu Yuxuan rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat helpless. "Officer, according to your logic, if a rich person can do this, why must it be me? Besides, this mysterious person also helped you solve a major case. You should give them a good citizen award."

The police officer was furious. "Because you want Chen Qiang to be grateful to you and reveal the whereabouts of his cousin! Want a reward? I'll give it to you in prison!"

Chu Yuxuan: "If you think that way, I can't help it… Anyway, if there's evidence, then arrest me."

Saying this, he extended his hands, ready to be handcuffed.

"You..." The police officer was so angry she couldn't speak. She knew Chu Yuxuan was certain she had no evidence.

"Not going to arrest me?" Chu Yuxuan smirked, "Then I'll leave."

"Wait!" The police officer gritted her teeth, "Come to the office with me!"
