"I understand the public's sentiment, but before the water has receded and the rocks have emerged, I beseech everyone to stay rational and grant us and our people's police the time to investigate this case thoroughly,"

"Finally, we at Antian Group will definitely provide compensation to the victims, please rest assured."

After the press conference, Zhou Jiajia immediately rushed to the warehouse where the "Cool Beverage" was stored to retrieve the surveillance video, and to identify the person and the vehicle that delivered the goods.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, she quickly identified the appearance of the delivery driver and the vehicle's license plate number.

She sent the plate number to Zhao Dabing, asking him to investigate; then she had someone print out a portrait of the truck driver.

A short while later, Zhao Dabing messaged saying the truck's license plate number was a fake.

Zhou Jiajia cursed silently, this time the enemy was truly cautious and ruthless, leaving no trace for them to follow, obviously intending to drive them into a corner.

The first person she thought of, who bore such a deep grudge against them, was the one who had sneaked into Lin Family's villa more than a month ago, attempting to assassinate Lin Yifan and Chun Yan.

"Could it be her doing?" Zhou Jiajia wondered, feeling an unease.

Chun Yan had powerful backers, making her difficult to deal with.

However, in Guiyuan City, they had more than one enemy; it could also have been someone else.

Now, no matter who the enemy in the shadows was, they had to face them head-on; because Lin Yifan needed them to prove his innocence, and Antian Group needed to clear its name.

With the basic information on the truck and the driver, on one hand, Zhou Jiajia paid the media to publish a wanted ad, offering a hefty reward to find out the truck driver's identity; on the other hand, she followed the truck's delivery route, until she found the source of the delivered goods.

This was bound to be a protracted battle, but she was not afraid; she would do everything in her power to save Lin Yifan as long as there was a chance.

On the other hand, after being captured, Lin Yifan was escorted back to Guiyuan City by the Yanjing police for interrogation by the Guiyuan City police.

Since the incident happened in Guiyuan City, it was natural for the Yanjing police to have the suspect transferred back there; they didn't have enough information about the case to intervene.

Back in Yanjing, to avoid Zhao Dabing bending the law for personal gain or being swayed by emotion, the Yanjing police sent Lin Shanshan to interrogate Lin Yifan.

Seeing Lin Shanshan, the fierce and beautiful police officer again, Lin Yifan couldn't help but smile; he had taught this woman a lesson many times, and he wondered if she still harbored any psychological trauma.

"Hey! Beautiful officer, long time no see!" Lin Yifan greeted her proactively, without any trace of the dejection or nervousness of a prisoner.

"You're already a prisoner, yet you still have the leisure to grin and goof off here; it really makes me feel sorry for Captain Zhao," Lin Shanshan said disdainfully.

Seeing Lin Yifan's smug face, she felt an irresistible urge to punch him, a feeling even more intense than premenstrual tension.

"Hehe, haven't you heard the saying, 'Better to die beneath the flowers than live without joy'? As long as I am alive, I will enjoy every moment and face everything with equanimity," Lin Yifan countered.

"You can be at ease, but your old comrade-in-arms certainly can't be; I don't understand how Captain Zhao could be friends with someone as heartless and thoughtless as you. He really must be blind," Lin Shanshan rebuked and complained.

At this, Lin Yifan responded with a cheeky grin, "Because I am lively and adorable! How can I be like you, always with a tigress's scowl? If I were Brother Zhao, I wouldn't like you either."

"You..."

"Who are you calling a tigress? Say it again if you dare!"

Lin Shanshan flew into a rage, as she hated most in life being called a 'tigress'; thus, she found it hard to swallow this insult.

However, just at that moment, the leader in the monitoring room spoke to her, "Xiao Lin, don't waste words with him, get straight to the point."

Lin Shanshan's emotions had been skewed by the prisoner's remarks, which was quite severe and not conducive to their interrogation, so they had to timely remind her to be mindful of her status.

Upon receiving the orders from her superior, Lin Shanshan immediately suppressed her fury and began the questioning, "Where were you and what were you doing at midnight last night?"

"I was sleeping at home! Why, did someone die?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

Police usually asked such questions when a homicide was involved, so he naturally thought of that.

"Don't ask so many questions, just answer mine," Lin Shanshan responded before continuing the interrogation, "Do you have any witnesses or evidence?"

"Yes, my wives..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shanshan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Yifan, thinking him a lecherous man and wondering why so many beauties were throwing themselves at him.

And Lin Yifan also realized his mistake in expression and quickly corrected himself, "Oh! No, that's wrong, my girlfriends can testify for me; and the surveillance equipment at my Yanjing villa can also vouch for me."

"Is this seal yours?" Lin Shanshan pulled out a trade contract and continued the questioning.

"No!" Lin Yifan answered directly, as he had never even seen this contract.

"Then, is this seal your personal seal?" Lin Shanshan asked.

"It seems so," Lin Yifan replied vaguely, also uncertain in his heart.

Because sometimes imitation seals are really convincing, and one needs to observe carefully to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Give me a definite answer!" Lin Shanshan pushed the contract in front of Lin Yifan, urging him to examine it carefully.

After observing the seal's font, color, shape, angle, and position, Lin Yifan had a definite answer in mind, "It is my personal seal; but I don't know why it appeared on this contract."

He was secretly alarmed. The mastermind behind the scenes was incredibly cunning, having gotten hold of his private seal, this was clearly a move to put him in dire straits!

However, his private seal had always been kept in the Yanjing Company's safe. How had the mastermind gotten hold of it? Could it be the work of a Cultivator?

With this clue, he quickly ruled out the Zhao Family and Uncle An Qi's family as the perpetrators; now only the unaccounted-for Zhen Jian remained.

But then, he immediately thought of another person, Chun Yan from the Voodoo Sect.

Chun Yan also had the conditions to commit the crime, leaving him uncertain whether she or Zhen Jian was the mastermind, or if both could be the culprits.

Here, Lin Yifan was deep in thought with furrowed brows; there, Lin Shanshan was done with idle talk and began packing up to leave.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to kindly remind him, "Enjoy the remaining time you have, because you don't have much left."

"Hey hey! Beauty, must you be so smug? Have you forgotten about legal measures like appeals? It's true the seal is mine, but it's still uncertain whether I stamped it myself; so don't be too pleased with yourself, I still have a chance to fight back," Lin Yifan responded with a sneer, unimpressed by Lin Shanshan's cockiness.
