"Ah? Where to?"
Xia Bing looked at Yang Yan, asking inexplicably.
"Where else? You came to find me because of the case, right!"
After saying this, Yang Yan stood up to grab his coat and scarf.
"Yes!"
Hearing Yang Yan's words, Xia Bing was initially startled but then felt relieved.
After getting into Xia Bing's police car, they quickly arrived at East Sea City First People's Hospital.
On the way, Xia Bing briefly explained the current situation that was within her grasp to Yang Yan.
However, Yang Yan remained silent throughout, not saying a word.
Outside a ward, a few police officers were stationed there, and when they saw Xia Bing arriving, they greeted her.
"How is she? Is her mood stable?"
Xia Bing asked.
"Still the same, locking herself in. But don't worry, Huan and the others are inside with her; there shouldn't be any issues."
A young policeman immediately said to Xia Bing.
"Ah! We absolutely can't let that guy get away."
Xia Bing said angrily.
"Let's go in and take a look at the situation first."
Yang Yan suddenly said.
As Yang Yan entered the ward, a faint sobbing sound came from inside.
Yang Yan looked carefully and saw it was a female officer.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, tears welled up as she stood silently crying beside the toilet.
"Huan, are you alright?"
Xia Bing asked the female officer.
"I'm fine! Bing, do you have any leads on that pervert?"
The female officer named Huan quickly wiped her tears with a tissue and asked eagerly.
Xia Bing gently shook her head, then patted Huan's arm, comfortingly saying:
"Not yet, but I've already asked an expert to come, and I believe we'll solve the case soon."
"Yes! Hurry up and catch that damn pervert! She's really pitiful."
Huan said angrily.
There was another officer in the room, a man.
He was sitting by the window, watching inside with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Yang Yan followed his gaze to see a young girl curled up in the corner of the room.
She was petite, huddled in the corner without moving.
"Her name is Chen Shiyu, a college freshman. During the winter break, she interned as a sales agent at a real estate company in East Sea City, and she's the victim this time."
Xia Bing said as softly as possible.
"Chen Shiyu?"
Yang Yan was taken aback upon hearing the name.
The name sounded so familiar!
It seemed like he had heard it somewhere...
Yang Yan pondered for a moment, then turned to Xia Bing and asked:
"Does she work at Prosperous Court?"
"Yes! Why, do you know her?"
Xia Bing looked at Yang Yan suspiciously.
"Not only do I know her, but I also bought a house at Prosperous Court through her, she's a nice girl. It's just, I didn't expect to meet her under such circumstances!"
Yang Yan said with some emotion.
Yang Yan slowly walked towards Chen Shiyu, and the male officer quickly stood up to stop him.
But Xia Bing shook her head gently, so he sat back down.
Yang Yan stood behind Chen Shiyu, gently touching her shoulder.
Ah!
She immediately let out a scream, then curled up even tighter, trembling all over as she leaned towards the wall.
"It's me, don't be afraid, it's me, Shiyu, I'm Yang Yan."
Seeing this, Yang Yan hurriedly said softly.
Hearing Yang Yan's words, Chen Shiyu seemed to remember something.
She paused, then slowly turned her head to glance at him.
When she saw that it was indeed Yang Yan, she immediately hugged him and burst into tears.
Seeing Chen Shiyu like this, Yang Yan didn't say anything, letting her hold onto him.
After she cried for about half an hour, Chen Shiyu finally fell asleep in his arms.
Yang Yan gently laid her on the hospital bed, trying not to wake her up.
But just as he was about to stand up, his clothes tightened.
Looking down, Yang Yan couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Chen Shiyu's hand was still tightly gripping his clothes.
"So, how many is this already?"
Yang Yan turned his head, asking quietly.
"Shiyu is already the seventh one, the previous ones either went insane or committed suicide. Shiyu is the only one who's relatively normal."
Xia Bing said, biting her lip.
And this is considered normal?
"Do you know how she encountered that guy?"
Yang Yan asked again.
"Yes, I do!" Xia Bing said, "About one or two months ago, Shiyu received a handsome commission at work and then donated that money to a Hope Primary School."
"Moreover, we found out that she would volunteer at that Hope Primary School almost every week, and that's where she met him."
"We investigated, and Shiyu's money has nothing to do with that man; it was the commission from work. We wanted to investigate if the buyer was connected to the incident, but the real estate developer refused to cooperate, never telling us who bought the house. And Chen Shiyu didn't say either."
Yang Yan waved his hand and said lightly:
"No need to investigate that, I bought the house."
The male officer's eyes widened, scrutinizing Yang Yan, saying dubiously:
"That commission was over a million!"
Yang Yan sneered:
"What, are you now concerned with people buying houses?"
"No!" the male policeman said awkwardly, "It's just that we won't overlook anything possibly connected to this case."
Xia Bing, knowing Yang Yan's unusual status, was a little surprised he owned property at Prosperous Court, but quickly felt at ease.
"Alright, let's wrap this up. Withdraw the team investigating Shiyu's money source. Since Mr. Yang bought the house, it means she wasn't approached from there."
Upon hearing Xia Bing's words, the female officer standing aside quickly went out to call off those still investigating Shiyu's financial sources.
Resources were tight now, after all.
"You all don't need to check anymore, I know who did it. Call back your people; the following isn't something you should be involved with."
Yang Yan glanced at Chen Shiyu, then said solemnly.
"You know who it is?"
The male officer stood up at once.
Not just him, but also Xia Bing and the female officer who was calling were suddenly looking at Yang Yan.
However, since Yang Yan had guessed Xia Bing's intention from the beginning, her eyes showed more delight.
"Yes, I do!"
Yang Yan nodded and said.
"Who is it?"
The male officer asked eagerly.
He had accompanied Chen Shiyu every day and knew her story by heart. Seeing this kind-hearted girl living in fear every day made his heart ache.
He longed to tear that pervert apart.
Upon hearing Yang Yan, he became incredibly urgent.
