After Chu Yin was rescued, her legs had long gone weak, and she collapsed directly into Sang Li’s arms.
She leaned against him, gasping for breath.
"The curator... was threatened, and on the phone, there was the sound of a child and a woman crying."
"He demanded the curator kill me and then commit suicide."
"It was Bai Zhengxian, it was him, I recognized his voice."
Sang Li watched her speak, blood still seeping from the corner of her mouth, and tightly gripped her shoulder.
"Don’t talk anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital first."
"Okay..."
Before the words were finished, Chu Yin fainted.
...
Hospital.
When Chu Yin woke up, everyone was in the room.
Li Huan stood by the bedside, noticed her opening her eyes, and immediately asked, "Is there anywhere else uncomfortable?"
"My hand hurts."
"You have new and old injuries on your hand, it would be strange if it didn’t hurt," Li Huan said.
Chu Yin smiled and turned to look at Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi, her ankle bandaged, could only come over in a wheelchair.
Meeting Chu Yin’s gaze, she quickly said, "It’s just a sprain, don’t worry, you get some rest."
Chu Yin sighed with relief, "What about Fang Sisi and them?"
"They were rescued. Domestic police teamed up with foreign police to raid the Bai Ruoshu Art Museum and uncovered many women and children held captive. They’re... all settled now."
Lin Zhiyi didn’t know how to recount the experiences of those people.
The Bai Ruoshu Art Museum was a very old building, with two underground levels besides the ground floor.
The interior was renovated into different rooms.
Some were used to hold the captives, and some were for the entertainment of wealthy businessmen.
Some were to be sent to buyers by special personnel, dead or alive, they would handle the aftermath.
Even in death, they would extract any value before disposal.
What ordinary people could imagine, and what they couldn’t, they did it all.
Currently, all police forces are there gathering evidence of crimes.
Hearing this, Chu Yin felt her suffering was not in vain.
"Have the Bai Family been caught?" she asked again.
No answer came, only silence filled the room.
Even the sound of Li Huan writing stopped.
Chu Yin looked at everyone, puzzled.
"What’s wrong?"
"The Bai Family, through lawyer negotiations, has already been released," Lin Zhiyi said, twisting her fingers.
"What? How could they be released when the evidence is conclusive? Did they threaten someone into helping them again?"
"No, it’s just that the most crucial direct evidence is gone."
"How is that possible? I saw Sisi send it out with my own eyes..."
Chu Yin fell silent under everyone’s gaze.
She asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Lin Zhiyi hesitated to speak, "Fang Sisi said you were the one operating the computer, she knew nothing, she said perhaps you were too scared at the time and accidentally hit delete instead of send."
"I didn’t! I didn’t!"
Ignoring her wounds, Chu Yin sat up straight.
Lin Zhiyi wanted to calm her, but her own foot was injured too.
Fortunately, Sang Li quickly stepped forward, grasping Chu Yin’s shoulders to control her movements.
"Don’t move, do you want to lose your hand?"
Chu Yin bit her lip, saying very seriously, "I really didn’t touch the computer, you can check the records."
Sang Li: "The computer had a self-destruct program, after deleting the evidence, the self-destruct program initiated, and while we were dealing with the curator, the computer became as useless as a brick."
Lin Zhiyi: "The Bai Family claimed the curator took advantage of his position to conspire with outsiders for this business, the Bai Family was unaware. We submitted evidence you printed from President Bai’s computer, but those arrested only confessed to dealing with the curator, denying any connection with the Bai Family."
