"Captain Xie, President Di and the Fourth Master are here."
Outside the police station, Ye Chenhan parked his car in front of a cluster of reporters.
Reporters closer to the car recognized the owner as Ye Chenhan and saw Di Mingjue in the passenger seat. They immediately got up, shouldered their cameras, and rushed to the car window.
"President Di, are the rumors online true? Did Miss Ye divorce you? Why did she choose Gu Xiuyu?" After the reporter's question, other reporters also rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, the car was surrounded by reporters holding cameras and microphones. xxs壹贰
The view outside the window was a sea of black, blocking the light and plunging the car into darkness.
Ye Chenhan frowned. They had only just learned about the situation online.
"I'll arrange for someone to suppress these remarks right away," Ye Chenhan said, taking out his phone.
The internet had already exploded. Removing the relevant news wouldn't erase what people had already seen and processed.
Di Mingjue pressed Ye Chenhan's hand, stopping his arrangement. "No rush."
The news of the marriage had been leaked that morning, by the largest newspaper in the city of Sijiucheng. Shen Lin had inquired; the marriage announcement had been personally delivered by Gu Xiuyu, who intended to make everyone aware of his closer relationship with Ye Ziyu.
But now, he didn't know if Gu Xiuyu was searching for them, or if Ye Ziyu had a hand in this as well.
Di Mingjue stared at Ye Chenhan's face in silence. The overly tense atmosphere made him swallow hard.
"Stop looking at me like that. It's making me feel a lot of pressure," Ye Chenhan said.
Di Mingjue shifted his gaze.
Since the information was deliberately released, they might as well seize this opportunity.
Police officers rushed out, flustered, pushing through the crowd to stand by the passenger door.
Xie Mingxia looked at the busybody reporters and sternly reprimanded them, "This is a police station, not your playground. Leave quickly, or we will arrest you for obstructing official business!"
The police officers next to him displayed the handcuffs hanging from their belts.
Naturally, the reporters dared not confront the police head-on. Reluctantly, they packed up their equipment and moved away from the car.
With enough space to move, Di Mingjue opened the car door and stepped out.
His appearance made the reporters who had not yet fully left the vicinity of the police station instantly agitated. The flashes of cameras emanated light from a distance.
Ye Chenhan got out of the car to shield Di Mingjue, his face filled with anger as he glared at the nosy reporters.
"President Di, this matter is our fault," Xie Mingxia said, apologizing. "The content suddenly exploded online, and by the time we discovered it, these reporters were already here."
Di Mingjue did not respond.
"Don't worry, we have arranged for people to investigate, and we should have Miss Ye's whereabouts soon," Xie Mingxia continued.
The word "soon" had become a constant refrain in Ye Chenhan's ears. For so many days, the police had found nothing, yet someone had proactively leaked the information.
He had seen the content online and, for a moment, felt his intelligence being outmatched. Gu Xiuyu was clearly mocking their incompetence.
"Can you do something practical instead of just talking?" Ye Chenhan voiced his dissatisfaction.
If they didn't find their location soon, Ye Ziyu would become Gu Xiuyu's wife.
This time, it was indeed the police station's fault. Xie Mingxia stood there, allowing Ye Chenhan to vent his frustration. "The Fourth Master is right to criticize us; our efficiency is too poor."
"Alright, go and investigate quickly. He's so brazenly leaking the marriage news; he's too arrogant."
"We've already arranged for people to contact the newspaper that first broke the story."
Listening to Xie Mingxia, Ye Chenhan felt a bit better.
