Chapter 715: Come Out for a Moment

One had a broken leg, and they’d been dragged for so long. They honestly wished they were dead.

The police officers: ...?

What’s going on here?

Why were these two men crying?

Captain Fang was utterly exasperated by the two men. He quickly explained the situation to the police.

He made sure to emphasize Fu Mingxue’s status.

After hearing the story, the police officers’ expressions turned grim.

What’s more, one of the officers vaguely recognized the name Fu Mingxue.

After a moment, he suddenly blurted out, "Isn’t this the wife of Old Song’s comrade-in-arms?"

The officers immediately went to find this Old Song.

After all, this case was connected to the murder of Wang Dacheng and his son from Wang Family Village!

The two captured men were stunned.

"We were just trying to get the woman who belongs to our Li Family back—"

"Take them away for questioning!" Old Song didn’t care what they had to say.

He immediately had the two men taken away for interrogation.

Of course, since Fu Mingxue wasn’t there, Captain Fang had to give a statement—

After Captain Fang finished up at the police station, he and two colleagues hurried back to the factory.

This was something that had to be reported to the leadership immediately, of course.

So, without even catching his breath, Captain Fang ran straight to Director Geng’s office.

"Director Geng—"

Director Geng’s expression soured as he watched the man barge in without even knocking.

"Captain Fang, can’t you do something about this habit of yours of not knocking?"

Captain Fang immediately apologized. "Director Geng, I’ll be sure to knock next time, I promise. But this is really important. Someone ambushed our Group Leader Fu on her way here. We’ve already sent the two men to the police station."

Director Geng was stunned by his words.

He shot to his feet. "What about Group Leader Fu? Is she okay?"

Captain Fang quickly replied, "Group Leader Fu is fine. It’s the two men who are in trouble. According to their confession, they’re brothers from the Li Family in Li Village. They came to demand a girl named Wang Lihong from Group Leader Fu. They’d been lying in wait on the road since early this morning—"

The explanation was a bit convoluted, but Director Geng still grasped the key points.

"So you’re saying these two thugs ambushed Group Leader Fu on her usual route to work, just to threaten her into handing over Wang Lihong?"

Captain Fang nodded. "—Yes."

Director Geng was furious. "Those bastards! How dare they! If they had laid in wait at night, wouldn’t Group Leader Fu have been seriously hurt?"

Fu Mingxue works overtime late into the night every day before going home.

If two grown men had really ambushed her on the road.

Something terrible really could have happened.

"Tell the police station they need to handle this with the utmost severity. You follow up on it. And another thing—don’t bother Group Leader Fu with this anymore. Her time is precious. She can’t be wasting it on this kind of trash."

From Director Geng’s reaction, Captain Fang understood just how exceptionally high the factory valued Group Leader Fu.

He gave a solemn nod. "Understood."

"Alright, you can go. I’m going to check on Group Leader Fu." Director Geng didn’t know what to make of Fu Mingxue.

For something so serious to have happened, and for her to come to the factory without saying a single word to him about it.

Captain Fang acknowledged the order and quickly left the office.

Director Geng also strode anxiously out of his office.

He first went to Fu Mingxue’s office, but she wasn’t there. So, he went over to the laboratory.

When he saw Fu Mingxue in a meeting, he walked straight over.

Seeing that she was unharmed, he swallowed the words of worry and concern that were on the tip of his tongue.

He didn’t interrupt the meeting. Instead, he waited until Fu Mingxue had finished, then stepped forward. "Group Leader Fu, come to my office."
