Chapter 448: Where Is My Wife?

At night, Ye Hao sat together with a policeman in the interrogation room and Cheng Zhi who had just been summoned the police station sat across them. He was about 26 or 27 years of age and although he didn’t look very muscular, he had some muscle on him.

Ye Hao’s eyes blazed angrily and he slammed a fist against the table as he yelled, “Where did you send my wife?”

The police had already confirmed that this man was the person who had picked Yan Yan and Yuan Yuan from the area near the castle at around 3 AM.

Cheng Zhi sighed soundlessly and spread his palms open. He looked innocently at Ye Hao and the policeman and said, “As I said earlier, I don’t know where she is. I’m just her university classmate and she came to me for help, so how could I reject her? What are you trying to do? Is picking up an acquaintance against the law?”

Cheng Zhi looked at them as if they were crazy. He couldn’t figure out why he had been summoned to the police station as a suspect.

“So where did you drop her?” the policeman asked.

“Didn’t I already tell you that I dropped her off at An County’s bus station? I let her down near the bus station and after I dropped her, I went back to my hometown to retrieve some things before returning to Ye City. That’s as much as I know. Can I go now?” Cheng Zhi sounded very impatient and wondered why he was so unlucky today.

The policeman shook his head in disappointment and looked at Ye Hao. He said a little helplessly, “Mr. Ye, based on my experience, I can tell that this man isn’t lying. He probably doesn’t know where your wife has gone and we can’t find any records of your wife purchasing bus tickets which means that your wife might not have entered the bus station but instead, it’s more likely that she had flagged down a bus outside the station to go somewhere else. An County’s bus station is very disorganized and not only could someone get on the bus without purchasing a ticket, there are also many other private cars for hire.”

The policeman told Ye Hao his theory.

Ye Hao’s brows knitted tightly and his amber colored eyes darkened. As time ticked by, his anxiety only intensified.

“Mr. Ye, why don’t you head back first? We’ll let you know immediately once we’ve received any further updates on her whereabouts. We’ve already contacted our colleagues at Chuan City and asked them to check their CCTV records as per your earlier request to transfer the CCTV records of Chuan City over. Your wife is a mature adult woman, so she wouldn’t easily land herself in danger,” the policeman said. He could tell how anxious Ye Hao was.

Ye Hao’s lips pursed tightly but he refused to leave. He wasn’t in the mood to rest at all and he felt that he had to know exactly where she was and ascertain that she was safe because he could relax. He also blamed himself for failing to protect her, which pushed her to take such extreme measures.

The policeman thought for a moment when he noticed that Ye Hao showed no intention of leaving and finally asked, “Mr. Ye, do you know if Mrs. Ye has any close friends, classmates, or relatives living at Chuan City? If she had gone to Chuan City, do you know if she could have been staying over at a friend’s place?”

“Friend?”

Ye Hao rubbed his temples and tried his best to recall. However, after racking his brains, he still could not think of any friends she might know at Chuan City. Moreover, during the two years they had known each other, she would occasionally call or text her friends but she rarely went out to meet them. In fact, he had never met her friends or ex-classmates.
