To avoid any suspicion of a show, the police still needed to conduct a drug test on Ding Ruola.
Normally, they would take a hair sample about three centimeters from the root. Such a test could trace drug use back six months.
This was also a lenient measure for drug users. As long as they didn't use drugs within a year, it showed their determination to quit.
The test results would take a few days to come out.
Not long after the police left, Fang Siyan returned home. But they knew those people would probably come back later.
Even such a small package of stuff was quite valuable.
Fang Siyan was worried that Ding Ruola might be targeted by someone. He specifically told her to work from home these days.
Later in the day, Ding Ruola was working on her manuscript when there came a knock on the door.
Fang Siyan sensed that something was amiss. He winked at Ding Ruola, signaling her to stay in the room and not come out.
He went to answer the door!
As soon as the man opened the door, there stood a thin and gaunt man.
This man wore a mask and a baseball cap, looking furtive, in sharp contrast to Fang Siyan.
"Hello! I'm — delivering — deliv—"
Before he could finish his sentence, the elevator behind him opened.
Three men stepped out of the elevator and immediately pounced on the thin man.
"Sorry to bother you!"
Fang Siyan cooperated with the police in taking statements and also gave them a few strands of his hair.
"Contact me if there's anything!"
The policeman directly gave Fang Siyan his personal business card.
Fang Siyan took it naturally.
Back in the room, he saw Ding Ruola buried under the blanket.
"Come out, baby! You've been a bit unlucky these days."
It wasn't just a bit unlucky; it was extremely unlucky.
Ding Ruola encountered a murder case when she was in the hospital, and when she got home to rest, she ran into drug - dealers.
It was really like sitting at home and having a case fall from the sky. If she were a police officer, it would be so cool.
"I'll take you to work these days!"
Fang Siyan thought carefully. It wasn't safe for Ding Ruola to stay here. There was a possibility that those people could pick the lock.
Ding Ruola had no choice but to agree. At this moment, she even wished she could go to work with Fang Siyan.
These strange things had already exhausted Ding Ruola.
The police brought the test results for Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan, both of which were negative.
The two were out of suspicion. Now the problem was who in this community wanted those things.
The police thought Ding Ruola might be retaliated against by those people, so they specially sent someone to keep an eye on her.
Unexpectedly, they really spotted a group of people.
These people mainly hung around downstairs of the place where Ding Ruola worked. One of them had a previous record of being involved in organized crime. As for what he had been doing since then, there was no record in the police station.
They immediately took these people back to the police station.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
The man with the previous record of organized crime now worked in a bodyguard company. The people the police arrested were basically bodyguards sent by Fang Siyan to protect Ding Ruola.
Because of this misunderstanding, both groups of people protecting Ding Ruola were gone.
Now Ding Ruola was in danger.
Before the police could act, they received an alarm call.
While Fang Siyan was in a meeting, he received a call on the landline. The other side asked him to pay the ransom.
He didn't react at first until he heard Ding Ruola's voice.
The other side told Fang Siyan not to call the police, but of course Fang Siyan wouldn't listen to them obediently.
Not only did he call the police, but he also hired a private detective to investigate these people.
"Why did you guys..."
When Fang Siyan saw that all the reports he had sent were taken away, he was furious. But thinking that it was for Ding Ruola's safety, he suppressed his anger.
The other side had raised the ransom to one million. They already knew Fang Siyan's identity.
Those kidnappers thought they were asking for a huge amount, but for Fang Siyan, this money was nothing.
He told Zhang Jun to prepare a suitcase and get all the money ready.
"I've decided to pay the ransom. Don't expose yourselves!"
Fang Siyan was a bit skeptical about the people around him.
After a while, someone called, but the phone number was not a local one.
Those people were very smart. They never talked on the phone for more than three minutes.
In this way, it was impossible to trace their location.
"What should we do now?"
"Check the owner of this phone number!"
The cyber - police on the side contacted the telecommunications company. The owner of this phone number was the thin and gaunt man before.
Although they couldn't determine the exact identities of the other people, they could basically confirm that it was those drug - related people who did this.
"Maybe we can search for their social media accounts with this phone number!"
The private detective Fang Siyan hired was really capable.
It was not impossible to locate through social media accounts!
Sure enough, they found an account named "Upright and Righteous".
The problem now was — what identity to use to add this person.
"A buyer!"
Fang Siyan understood the characteristics of these people. Those who could do such a thing would surely have a fluke mentality.
Moreover, they didn't have a clear understanding of money. Pretending to be a buyer of their goods was the best choice now.
The criminal police often dealt with drug users and knew a lot of their underworld jargon, so they could act the part easily.
Unexpectedly, they took the bait.
The police managed to trick those people into turning on location sharing.
Those people thought they were getting a new business deal, but they didn't expect that the other side were "police detectives".
In this way, they really lost everything.
The criminal police sent a thin and gaunt colleague to the drug dealers' hideout to get a general idea of the situation.
Sure enough, Ding Ruola was being held by these people.
"Don't look around, or I'll dig your eyes out!"
One of the big and burly men kicked the police officer a few times.
This wasn't the time to act, so the police officer left with a forced smile.
As soon as the two left, several cars stopped outside.
The drug dealers didn't even have time to react.
Fang Siyan came with these people. He rushed into the crowd just to rescue Ding Ruola.
Ding Ruola was tied up in a relatively backward position. Due to long - term dehydration, she had fallen into a coma.
"Ruoruo!"
He was taken aside by the medical staff who rushed in. He could only stand there quietly watching the medical staff treat the wounds on Ding Ruola's body.
When Ding Ruola woke up again, she was in the hospital.
She clearly felt someone holding her hand. She turned her head slightly and saw Fang Siyan lying on the bedside, fast asleep.
This was the most reassuring sight she had seen in these days.
She never expected those people to kidnap her directly. She would never forget the smell in that place.
It was an old factory, and there were people making illegal things inside. The smell emitted by those chemical reagents would make a normal person feel suffocated.
"Ruoruo! You're awake!"
Fang Siyan quickly stood up and was about to go outside to call the doctor. But he hadn't taken a few steps when Ding Ruola grabbed him.
"Stay with me!"
Ding Ruola had never been so eager to see Fang Siyan as she was now.
