CHAPTER 1156: CHAPTER 1155: POLICE INVOLVEMENT

Because it was related to the Su Group and Su Family, the two police officers here were very cautious. When they asked Cai Jialin to start from what he knew, the two officers began to take detailed notes.

Cai Jialin spoke for almost two hours, only then did he manage to relay everything he knew and saw.

The two police officers had long heard of strange events over there, but previously, whatever happened there was always covered up by the Su Group, and there were no reports to the police. Therefore, the police had no idea that so many workers had gone missing there.

This is definitely a big issue.

"Officer, can we proceed now? I just hope you find my son quickly. He’s my only child."

"Don’t worry, we will send someone to investigate soon."

...

Liu Lingxiu didn’t go out with Ye Qiu and Chen Fang, but after breakfast, she returned to help out at Daqing Supermarket.

Ye Qiu and his mother, Chen Fang, were watching TV downstairs. Around lunchtime, Chen Fang went out to buy groceries to make lunch, and Ye Qiu went upstairs to play on his computer.

Just around the time Chen Fang was about to finish making lunch, Ye Qiu’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a call from Zhao Ruxue.

"Ruxue, is that you?"

Ye Qiu asked.

"Something happened."

Zhao Rubing said from the other end.

Someone had just reported to the City Police Bureau about workers and security personnel going missing from the construction site, something she had already heard about.

As for why she paid attention to it, she still remembered how those thugs who had kidnapped Ye Qiu’s friend had encountered trouble at that very place.

Unexpectedly, now multiple workers and security personnel are missing from there.

"What happened?"

"Do you remember the place in the suburbs where your female friend was kidnapped by those thugs?"

"You mean the abandoned building site bought by the Su Family?"

"Exactly, six people have gone missing there already."

Ye Qiu had noticed a strange aura about that place before, but he never expected that so many workers would actually go missing.

"How did you find out?"

"Last night, a worker went missing, and now his father came to report it, asking the police to investigate. It’s possible the Su Group has been covering it up."

"So are you going to investigate it?"

"Of course."

Currently, Zhao Ruxue didn’t have any cases to handle, and regarding that collective poisoning case, after multiple investigations, nothing concrete was found, and Mayor Li hadn’t pursued it further. So, the City Police Bureau assigned her to manage other cases.

This case wasn’t hers initially, but she knew from the last time she went over there with Ye Qiu, it felt strange, especially with those thugs disappearing entirely there.

Of course, no one reported those thugs missing, so Zhao Ruxue didn’t bother with it. After all, in her view, those thugs who kidnapped Ye Qiu’s female friend were just societal scum, being gone was no loss.

But this time is different. Now it’s legitimate workers and security personnel going missing from the construction site, so it needs a thorough investigation.

Now calling Ye Qiu, Zhao Ruxue felt that Ye Qiu was different from other people, especially after what happened last time when Ye Qiu handled that walking dead incident, making Zhao Ruxue even more convinced of Ye Qiu’s uniqueness.

"When are you going to investigate?"

"Right now, the sooner the better. I don’t want anyone else to disappear."

Zhao Ruxue said.

"I haven’t had lunch yet, come over to my place, and I’ll go with you then to have a look."

Ye Qiu said.

"I’ll first collaborate with colleagues to inquire about other workers, and then I’ll come to find you."

After Ye Qiu and Zhao Ruxue hung up the phone, he shook his head thoughtfully.

Coming downstairs, Ye Weidong and Ye Xue had already returned. They had gone to the driving school to practice; one was practicing for the third test, and the other for the second test.

"Ye Qiu, you’re really awesome. With the way you advised the learners to practice, the passing rate for tests over the past few days has exceeded ninety percent."

"Sis, it might be somewhat related to their prior practice as well."

Ye Qiu said.

As everyone sat down for lunch, Su Wen returned home from the Su Group Building. He had just received a call from a deputy director at the City Police Bureau, saying that someone from the construction site was missing and that a worker had already reported it.

Su Wen didn’t expect someone to report it so quickly.

However, he knew that this matter would inevitably be exposed sooner or later, so now that someone’s reporting it, so be it. As for those construction site workers, he had already followed Master Liu’s advice to have them all transferred to other construction sites by tonight. They would only return after the site was restored and deemed safe.

Su Wen did not expect it would come to this point.

If he had known earlier, no amount of money would have been worth the trouble.

"Dad, have you eaten?"

Su Luoluo approached and asked when she saw her father sitting under a tree in the yard, lost in thought.

"Not yet."

"Dad, you should try the food I made."

Su Wen didn’t expect his precious daughter to have actually learned cooking from a chef.

As to why she was doing this, Su Wen couldn’t understand, for in his eyes, he hoped to groom Su Luoluo as the heiress and a strong woman for the company.

After all, in this society, there are plenty of strong women, and he only has Su Luoluo as his daughter.

"Then make something, your dad doesn’t have much of an appetite."

Currently, Su Wen wasn’t in the mood to eat, as the situation at the abandoned building site would likely result in significant losses. Especially since police officers were going to be stationed there to investigate. The negative impact of this news spreading would mean no one would want to buy apartments or shop spaces there.

So, Su Wen shook his head and sighed, knowing he could only take things one step at a time.

Thinking about Secretary Lin’s situation, apart from the one visit with Steward Su, he hadn’t checked on Secretary Lin’s condition since.

He planned to visit Secretary Lin again in the afternoon because the affairs at the company couldn’t be managed by Secretary Li, who was way too lacking compared to Secretary Lin.

If Secretary Lin recovered, he should return to the company to help.

...

Zhao Ruxue and her colleagues from the traffic police team drove toward the abandoned building site. Just after arriving there in the police car, they noticed that the workers and construction crew seemed to be packing up their things.

"Are you leaving?"

Zhao Ruxue and a colleague went over to ask.

"If we don’t leave, we won’t have our lives!"

Having just received a notice to transfer everyone to another construction site, these people finally felt relieved. Otherwise, if they stayed, they feared they’d end up like Dahu, Erdan, and Afei—mysteriously disappearing without a trace.
