Old Wang found the situation dubious, but now that the man had passed out in their presence, they could only help. They had seen with their own eyes that the girl hadn’t laid a hand on him. What else could they do?
Wu Zhiyuan was soon taken to the hospital.
As for the entire Chiang family, they were temporarily kept at the police station. After all, they would definitely not be released until the investigation was clear.
At the police station for most of the day, no one paid them any attention, nor did anyone offer them a sip of water.
The phone, however, kept ringing, saying Wu Zhiyuan had not yet woken up, and the doctors couldn’t find any problems for the time being.
Meanwhile, Kuang Yunxian received a phone call from Meng Xinian.
"Brother Yun Xian, I called Furong Hotel, and I couldn’t find Little and Grandpa. But I heard they were picked up by car. Was it you or Zheng Yucheng?"
Meng Xinian had called Chiang Xiao to tell her that he had someone handle her patent application for the packaging box. He wanted to tell her that when she met with Factory Director Su, she could speak confidently and not be afraid.
But when he called Furong Hotel, they told him that Chiang Xiao and her family had checked out, and someone had indeed come over with a car to pick them up.
Meng Xinian thought that in the city, the ones who could have picked up Chiang Xiao by car would be either Kuang Yunxian or Zheng Yucheng.
It’s not like she had met some other rich, powerful person with a car, right?
Kuang Yunxian paused when he heard this, "No, I haven’t seen Xiao Chiang these past few days. What’s up, do you need her for something?"
"Yes, something’s come up. Then I’ll go ask Zheng Yucheng."
Because Chiang Xiao was in the city, Meng Xinian had made sure he had the contact information for a few key people there, including the office phone number for Zheng Yucheng.
Zheng Yucheng was even more surprised when he got the call.
"No, I haven’t gone to pick up Xiao Chiang."
This made Meng Xinian anxious. "Did you see her in the last couple of days?"
"The night before last, we all had dinner at my father-in-law’s place. But then..." At this point, Zheng Yucheng suddenly stood up, slapped his forehead, and his tone became disturbed, "No, something happened after that!"
Meng Xinian’s heart tightened instantly!
Zheng Yucheng hurriedly gave a brief overview of the day’s events. The more he spoke, the more he broke out in a cold sweat. "Xiao Chiang hit Wu Zhiyuan, scaring Old Lady Wu, who helped Zhiyuan escape. But Zhiyuan is a petty man, narrow-hearted, and vengeful!"
Right, how could he forget Wu Zhiyuan’s vindictive nature?
He should have been on guard! Moreover, he should have had Chiang Xiao stay at his place these past few days to keep a closer watch on her. How could he be so careless!
"I’m worried Wu Zhiyuan couldn’t swallow his pride and went after Xiao Chiang!"
"Go find Wu Zhiyuan now! I’m heading to the city immediately!"
Meng Xinian hung up the phone and strode towards the door.
After hanging up, Zheng Yucheng also panicked. He hurriedly ran outside while shouting, "Quick, drive me out!"
By the time he reached Wu Zhiyuan’s workplace, he learned Wu Zhiyuan had taken the day off and hadn’t come to work!
Now, Zheng Yucheng was sweating profusely. He felt something was seriously wrong. Xiao Chiang was missing, and Wu Zhiyuan coincidentally was off from work—what did this imply?
He hurriedly ran to the Wu family home, but no one was there!
Thankfully, a neighbor pointed him in the right direction.
"They’ve all gone to the hospital!"
