The police were at the door, but Zhou Hongwei walked into the house to call his uncle.

As soon as the call was connected, he said anxiously, "Uncle, what's going on? Why did the people from the police station come to my place? Why didn't you inform me?"

The voice said chillingly, "Deputy Chief Zhou is in the bathroom."

Zhou Hongwei frowned and asked suspiciously, "Who are you? How dare you answer Deputy Chief Zhou's Call? Who gave you the guts?" He was harsh.

"I'm Jiang Tao!"Jiang Tao's cold voice sounded, "Chief of the police station!"

Zhou Hongwei's face turned pale, and he quickly hung up the phone. At that instant, he felt a little uncertain. However, he quickly calmed down.

After all, he only invited Xiao Lingyu over as a guest, and he had not done anything to her.

He glared at Xiao Lingyu and warned, "Xiao Lingyu, you are brave to call the police. But I'll see what you can do even if the police are here. After this is over, we'll settle this score."

"Open the door! This is the police!" The officers were still shouting.

"Ol' Three, get the door!" Zhou Hongwei ordered one of the men.

"Yes, Boss!" Ol' Three replied.

The moment he opened the door, four policemen rushed in. They pointed their guns at them and shouted loudly, "Raise your hands!"

Zhou Hongwei and his two subordinates raised their hands.

Zhou Hongwei asked in puzzlement, "Officers, what's going on? We aren't doing anything. We are good citizens who follow the law."

As soon as he said this, another three people walked in. The first was a young man in a police uniform; the second was an officer in his forties; and the last... it was someone Zhou Hongwei would recognize anywhere. He knew all three of them.

The first was Jiang Tao, the police chief; the second was his uncle, Zhou Tanxiong, the deputy chief, and the last was...

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Gu Ziye, why are you here?"

Then, he looked at Jiang Tao. When he met Jiang Tao's cold and merciless eyes, he looked away in panic. He shot his uncle a gaze as if asking, 'What is going on?'

He had threatened other people before to do business with him. There were some who called the cops on him, and every time only the junior officers would come. Most of the junior officers knew Zhou Hongwei because he would find excuses to visit the police station. Over time, people knew he was the deputy chief, Zhou Tanxiong's nephew.

Therefore, when people received a report about him, most officers would just go through the motion.

Furthermore, Zhou Hongwei rarely had to rely on actual beatings. His threats were enough to make people bend to his favor. Therefore, the police couldn't touch him without physical evidence. He never thought that it would fail one day.

Regardless, with his uncle around, Zhou Hongwei slowly calmed down. He asked very calmly, "Chief Jiang, why did you bring so many police to my place? I don't think I've done anything wrong."

Zhou Tanxiong looked at Xiao Lingyu, who had been standing there calmly, "Chief Jiang, this has to be a misunderstanding. Hongwei invited this miss over here as his guest."

Then, he shot a sharp look at Gu Ziye and questioned him sternly, "Gu Ziye, I know that you have always had a bad relationship with my Hongwei. Hongwei stole your business a few times, and you were angry. However, you shouldn't misuse police resources. You told us there was a kidnapping. Does this look like a kidnapping to you?" Xiao Lingyu looked too calm. There was not a hint of fear on her face. She definitely didn't look like a kidnapping victim.
