In a state of near torment, Mu Lingshan finally finished taking Chu Ge's statement.

She originally thought that she would definitely catch Chu Ge off guard this time, but unexpectedly, not only did she not get any valuable information, she also ended up with a stomach full of anger.

As for the matter of Yu Zekai just now accusing Chu Ge of being a murderer, it also came to nothing. After all, the law requires evidence, and even though she indeed had a great prejudice against Chu Ge, it was impossible to convict him just based on Yu Zekai's words.

When Chu Ge left the interrogation room and leisurely went downstairs, he immediately saw Qin Ruojing sitting in the lobby on the first floor and greeted her with a smile.

"Chairman, why are you here?"

Seeing that Chu Ge was indeed unharmed and still wore his signature smile, Qin Ruojing finally breathed a sigh of relief, though she was filled with confusion and shock.

She had been at the police station for a while and had seen those more than ten thugs with bruised and swollen faces, grimacing in pain. In her opinion, even if Chu Ge wasn't seriously injured, he should at least have some bruises.

However, from the current situation, not only was there no evidence of injury on him, but he could also chat and laugh with her, as if nothing happened at all.

But since this wasn't the place to talk, Qin Ruojing just nodded at him, stood up from the chair, and turned her gaze to the police chief on the side.

"Officer, is there anything else he needs to cooperate with?" In other words, if not, we're leaving.

Seeing Qin Ruojing stand up, the police chief also got up from his seat, asked Mu Lingshan a few simple questions, and then politely said, "No, Chairman Qin, sorry to have delayed your work."

Everything had been thoroughly investigated. These ten or so thugs were causing trouble, and Chu Ge acted in self-defense. In such a case, he didn't even need to pay for medical expenses, and these thugs deserved it. All in all, they got a beating for nothing.

"That's that. If your office needs our assistance in the future, feel free to contact us."

"Alright."

While Qin Ruojing and the police chief exchanged pleasantries, Chu Ge turned his gaze to the fuming Mu Lingshan.

"Officer Mu, since our chairman is here, it seems you don't need to see me off today. Let's meet another day?"

Looking at Chu Ge's composed smiling face, Mu Lingshan really had the urge to kick him out the door.

But an impulse was just an impulse. In the end, she only glared hard at Chu Ge, then shifted her gaze to the cup on the table, as if the cup had some deep-seated hatred with her.

Amidst eyes looking at him as if he were a monster, Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing left the police station together and then got into the Audi A8 parked at the door, driving away in style.

This time, Qin Ruojing was driving. From the moment she got in the car, she said nothing and didn't drive directly back to the Tianjiao Building. Instead, she found a parking spot halfway and stopped the car.

"Chu Ge, tell me, what exactly happened after you and these thugs left the venue?" Once the car stopped, Qin Ruojing finally spoke.

"Well, it's a long story. To not waste your precious time, how about we just skip it?" Unlike Qin Ruojing's serious demeanor, Chu Ge maintained a carefree attitude.

"It's okay, I'm not busy now, I have plenty of time to listen to you."

"Actually, it's nothing serious. After I left the venue, I ran like mad, and then these thugs chased me. Just when I blindly ran into a dead-end alley, scared stiff thinking I was done for, luck was on my side. A few soldiers happened to pass by and disciplined the thugs, saving me just like that."

Qin Ruojing furrowed her brows slightly, "Can you tell me the truth?"

"Wow, what I said is the truth. Do you think I, on my own, could take on so many thugs? Those soldiers were really something, knocked out these thugs and left without even giving their names, then the police arrived, and as you know, the rest."

Chu Ge made a helpless expression and continued to concoct a convincing tale.

Seeing Chu Ge look so confident, Qin Ruojing still felt very suspicious, but she knew in her heart that since Chu Ge put it that way, asking anything else would be useless.

Reflecting on everything that had happened since she met Chu Ge, Qin Ruojing increasingly felt that he was simply a mystery.

A puzzle she couldn't solve but wanted all the more to unravel.

Just as Qin Ruojing was about to start the car, Chu Ge's phone rang. He glanced at the number; it was from Tong Yaqi.

Since Qin Ruojing was right beside him and some words might not be convenient to say, Chu Ge directly hung up the call, thinking he'd return soon anyway.

"Why not answer the phone?"

"The number isn't familiar, probably a wrong number."

Chu Ge casually brushed it off, and immediately after, Qin Ruojing's phone rang as well.

She glanced at the caller ID, then gave Chu Ge a meaningful look before taking the call and bringing the phone to her ear.

"Director Tong?"

"Chairman, um... do you have any news about Chu Ge?"

On the phone, Tong Yaqi's voice hesitated for a moment, but finally, with a deep concern, she asked this question.

Qin Ruojing initially wanted to say "he's right beside me," but after glancing at Chu Ge again, the words unexpectedly changed on her lips.

"No, I guess he's probably already been beaten badly by those thugs by now?"

Qin Ruojing casually replied, and there was immediate silence on the other end of the line.

"Director Tong, I have another call coming in. I'll let you know if I get any news." With that, Qin Ruojing hung up the phone and turned her gaze back to Chu Ge.

"Chu Ge, that call just now was from Tong Yaqi for you, right? Don't bother denying it, I wouldn't believe it even if you did."

Chu Ge gave a bitter smile and said nothing.

Because of the soundproofing in the car, he heard the conversation between Qin Ruojing and Tong Yaqi loud and clear. He was truly shocked that Qin Ruojing could say such a thing.

It was as if she was hoping something bad would really happen to him.

"Not saying anything means you admit it? Looks like you really have some skills, making Tong Yaqi so captivated, huh? A dignified director personally calling to check on you, and you seemed quite happy at the police station earlier? Didn't forget to greet the little policewoman while leaving?"

Qin Ruojing didn't even notice that when she said these words, her tone had a slight hint of jealousy.

"You, as the chairman, weren't you also the one who personally came to pick me up from the police station?"

Chu Ge murmured in his heart but said with a smile, "Of course, where else can you find such an exceptional employee like me? If something really happened to me, it would be a loss to the company."

Qin Ruojing curled her lips, ignored Chu Ge's voice, and picked up the phone to call Tong Yaqi back.

"Hello, Director Tong, I've just received news that someone found a critically injured man whose height and build are very similar to Chu Ge. I'm going to check it out, wait for my call, okay?"

This time, Chu Ge was truly stunned, staring blankly at Qin Ruojing's face with curled lips, his mouth nearly shaped into an "O".

"You... wouldn't happen to be Qin Ruoying, would you?"

Qin Ruojing placed the phone back in her bag, didn't even glance at Chu Ge, and casually said, "What do you think?"

Chu Ge observed her carefully for a long time but still felt uncertain.

"Alright, stop guessing. My sister is at home. You seem like nothing ever stumps you, but it seems you have moments of confusion too, huh? If it was my sister, and you kept calling her 'chairman' like that, do you think she wouldn't expose you?"

Chu Ge finally let out a sigh of relief, shook his head speechlessly, and thought to himself that Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying really are worthy of being twin sisters, and even Qin Ruojing had such a side.

Under Chu Ge's speechless gaze, Qin Ruojing turned her head to glance at him, "Get out of the car, do you really plan on having me take you back?"

Just as Chu Ge was about to speak, Qin Ruojing added, "I'll reimburse you for the fare, but not for lunch, less talking, get out."

This time, Chu Ge was truly at a loss for words, scratched his head, and opened the car door, watching as Qin Ruojing's Audi A8 drove away.

Meanwhile, at the venue of the Operational Management Conference.

Although everyone's thoughts were on Chu Ge and that group of thugs, the conference continued as usual to the end.

Initially, after the conference, Tong Yaqi was supposed to deliver a concluding speech, but due to Chu Ge's situation, she wasn't in the mood to speak and directly announced the end of the first Tianjiao Film and Television Company Operational Management Conference.

Immediately after the end, the entire Operation Management Department, with a terribly anxious mind, gathered around Tong Yaqi to inquire about Chu Ge's situation.

Unfortunately, under the tense gaze of the entire department, Tong Yaqi simply shook her head, said nothing, her expression full of sadness.

After repeated inquiries from the department, Tong Yaqi finally repeated what Qin Ruojing had just told her.

Initially, everyone in the Operation Management Department had their hearts in their throats, and upon hearing Tong Yaqi's words, their hearts sank to the floor.

Although the final result hasn't been confirmed, everyone in the Operation Management Department was frowning, sighing in despair.

Especially Feifei, who blamed herself for everything, feeling as if knives were piercing her heart, her tears unconsciously flowed.

While the Operation Management Department was shrouded in gloom, some people who also witnessed the scene felt delighted from the bottom of their hearts.

For example, Pan Changqing from the Marketing Department, almost wanted to laugh hysterically at the sky—this was truly heaven's justice, that damned "Young Master Chu" finally got what he deserved! Hahaha!
