“Who can prove that I’m illegally imprisoning?” Ren Wei tried to struggle but was quickly held back by the police.

Yuan Ying’s heart ached, and she quickly waved her hand and shouted, “Be gentle, be gentle. My son’s skin is soft and tender, he can’t stand you guys tormenting him like this! What kind of crime had he committed! Is this the doing of that ungrateful Ren Zhong?”

“Ren Zhong?” The captain’s interest was piqued. He glanced at the quiet street outside, sat on the sofa, and asked, “What does it have to do with Ren Zhong? Tell me about it.”

Yuan Ying’s eyes darted around, and she pretended to be smart and sat next to him. “Officer, you don’t know! Our family’s Weiwei is extremely timid and definitely wouldn’t dare to do anything illegal. If anything really happened today, it must have been Ren Zhong behind it!”

“Oh,” the captain said in realization. He then turned to look at Ren Wei and asked, “Is that so?”

“No!” Ren Wei quickly denied, “It has nothing to do with my brother!”

“You blockhead, why are you protecting that ingrate? Have you forgotten how he has treated you all these years?”

Yuan Ying walked up to Ren Wei and hit him on the head to vent her anger. Then, she looked at the captain again and said, “Don’t listen to this kid. He’s always protecting his brother. I don’t know what’s wrong with his brain!”

The captain nodded in agreement and asked curiously, “I heard that Ren Zhong doesn’t treat you and your mother well. Why are you willing to protect him?”

Ren Wei furrowed his brows and stomped his feet in anger. “That’s what the outside world saw! They’re just like my mom, always thinking that I’m going to inherit the family business, and that my brother is an obstacle on my way to inherit the family business, but no one ever cares about what I want! I don’t want to work in the company at all, let alone be the president!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Yuan Ying angrily covered his mouth and said with a guilty face, “Officer, my son must have been deceived by Ren Zhong. He’s usually very obedient and doesn’t talk back to adults. He’s also very shy and doesn’t know how to refuse others. This incident might be Ren Zhong’s plot. My son is too kind and is helping his brother.”

The captain did not comment. He casually drank a cup of tea and said, “A stranger came to this house. Don’t you know?”

“Aiyo, 1 haven’t been home these few days, have 1? I’ve just come back and I’ve already found out that something so big has happened!” Yuan Ying quickly explained, “I’ve been playing cards with my old friend at her house. 1 only received the news today. Ren Zhong must have taken advantage of my absence to secretly bewitch my son!”

The captain looked at Ren Wei helplessly. “Now is the best time for you to confess. After this, when the case is solved, the charges will fall on you. You won’t have the chance to say anything anymore.”

Hearing this, Yuan Ying immediately twisted Ren Wei’s arm excitedly. “Did you hear that? Hurry up and tell the police the truth. Don’t listen to Ren Zhong’s nonsense. He’s trying to harm you!”

“My brother didn’t harm me!” Ren Wei bit his lower lip stubbornly, and because she used too much force, his tears even splashed onto Yuan Ying’s face. “Only my brother knows what I really want! Only my brother will help me sincerely! You’re just using me to seize the family business!”

“You unfilial son! Everything I’ve done is for you! You’ve wasted your time in university, and you don’t even understand this? Are you trying to piss me off?” Yuan Ying was so angry that she wanted to find something to teach her son a lesson.

The captain quickly stopped her. At this moment, there was finally movement outside the house. The team that was sent out earlier was escorting a person in tatters back to the Ren residence.

Upon seeing this person, the stubbornness on Ren Wei’s face was instantly shattered. His knees gave way and he knelt on the ground.

The person who was brought back by the police was none other than the reporter who did a one-on-one interview with He Wei in the backstage lounge. She had been locked up in Ren Wei’s room for the past few days and had not seen the sun or eaten a single grain of rice. The corners of her mouth were so dry that it had started to peel. She looked too sick to be angry.

The captain stood up and ordered his men to take Ren Wei away. Then, he looked at Yuan Ying with a smile. “Ms. Yuan, please follow us back to the police station for investigation.”

“No, officer, who is this person? You can’t arrest people without evidence!” Yuan Ying wanted to play the same old trick again, but this time, no one would give her time to pester.

She had no choice but to put on her coat and follow them into the police car. She was taken to the police station uneasily.

Ren Wei’s interrogation ended quickly. With the reporter’s testimony, he confessed to kidnapping the reporter, but he refused to mention Ren Zhong, claiming that he made the decision on his own.

The captain looked coldly at the stubborn and ignorant young man in front of him and asked his last question with a blank expression, “Where is Xu Ling?”

Ren Wei’s brows furrowed as if he had thought of something bad. He shook his head with a trembling voice. “W-what Xu Ling? I don’t know her..”
