The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

327 Personally Searching

Xu Ling was very particular about doing things to the best of her ability. She was as meticulous as Jing Yan in everything she did. This was also why He Miao trusted her to manage all the matters of the new company when she had just met her.

Since Xu Ling personally went to the hospital to investigate this matter, she could not just use her eyes to see. She took such a big risk to spy on the enemy, so she must have found some solid evidence and reported it to Chen Zhao with confidence. She wanted to let Jing Yan see the situation as soon as possible through her mouth.

“So, Xu Ling must have found crucial evidence, and this evidence is likely to have been left at home by her!” Chen Zhao reacted, and his eyes gradually revealed excitement. He immediately suggested happily, “Then, let me send a few people to Xu Ling’s house and search it thoroughly. See if we can find any evidence left behind!”

“I’ll go with you.” He Miao was worried about Xu Ling’s safety. She had personally experienced how torturous it was after being kidnapped. Naturally, she wanted to save Xu Ling as soon as possible. Otherwise, every minute that was delayed could cost her her life.

Jing Yan grabbed her little hand disapprovingly. “You stay here. Chen Zhao and I will go and take a look.”

“No, I want to go.” He Miao looked at him firmly and said, “Even though Xu Ling’s position hasn’t been transferred to my company, she’s already my secretary. I can’t just leave her be. Even if you leave me alone in the office, I can’t sit still. If you don’t want anything to happen to me, then let me go with you. That way, I can be under your watch and it’ll be easier for you to look after me.”

Her words seemed to be for Jing Yan’s sake, but in fact, it was to prevent him from refuting her request to personally go to Xu Ling’s house to investigate.

Jing Yan had no other way to deal with her, so he could only nod helplessly. “Okay, but you have to follow me closely and can’t leave my sight. Don’t make me worry. If anything happens to you again, I’ll really go crazy, you know?”

“Alright, I promise you.” He Miao agreed readily. Such a small matter was not worth her and Jing Yan’s time.

The three of them quickly got into the car that was parked in front of the company building and went straight to the unit where Xu Ling lived.

Before they came, Chen Zhao had already reported Xu Ling’s disappearance to the police to prevent things from getting out of hand. There were still a few police cars parked outside the unit.

When He Miao and the others went upstairs, they saw the captain of the criminal police who was in charge of the missing and kidnapping cases. He and Jing Yan were acquaintances, so he was not surprised to see Jing Yan. Instead, he waved at the police officer who had blocked their way to let them in.

Xu Ling’s house was rented when she first came to the city. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. From the decoration of the house, she liked this house very much.

The landlord who rented the house to her had also said that Xu Ling had asked him several times about the price of the house and wanted to buy the house so that she would not have to move in the future.

Jing Yan led He Miao inside, holding her hand. When he saw the captain of the criminal police, he politely shook hands with him and made small talk. “Uncle Zhang, you’ve worked hard. How’s the case going?”

Captain Zhang was so busy that he shook his head in frustration. “There are no signs of a struggle in the room. We suspect that she was kidnapped as soon as she opened the door and didn’t even have time to enter. Are you here to find clues?”

Jing Yan nodded and asked, “Has Xu Ling’s phone been restored?”

“Yes, the last call was to your head secretary, Chen Zhao. There’s no one else involved.” Captain Zhang explained to his men as he ordered them to evacuate the house in an orderly manner.

He Miao’s brows furrowed as she listened intently. Seeing that they were about to leave, she quickly asked, “What about recordings and videos? None of them?”

Captain Zhang finally looked at her and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Miss He. She really didn’t record any audio or video related to this case on her mobile phone. The other content is related to the victim’s privacy, so I’m sorry I can’t disclose too much.”

He Miao nodded in a daze. She suddenly felt that it was unbelievable. Xu Ling was usually a meticulous person. How could she be so careless at such a critical moment? After taking such a long and dangerous risk, she only left behind a few empty words and did not manage to preserve any valuable evidence.

To be honest, He Miao did not believe it, but the police’s search results were clear.

Chen Zhao saw that the police had left one after another, so he went to He Miao’s side and said with uncertainty, “Do we have to check again? Captain Zhang knows President Jing very well and this matter is related to the Jing Corporation. He won’t stop us from investigating.”

“Of course! If I don’t check it myself, I can’t be at ease.” He Miao took the shoe covers that she had prepared in advance from him. After putting them on, she stepped into the room alone and began to search the room inch by inch.

She was betting on her understanding of Xu Ling, and she believed that Xu Ling would not let her down.
