"Hmph! Let's see how long you can keep up that tough front!" Lin Shanshan snorted coldly.

She couldn't have cared less about whether Lin Yifan lived or died; moreover, from her point of view, she believed that if Lin Yifan were dead, it would be like giving the world a breath of fresh air.

"Pfft!" Lin Yifan couldn't care less, feeling that no one could control his life or death at this moment; his fate was in his own hands.

After Lin Shanshan left, two male police officers came in and took Lin Yifan away.

Lin Yifan was temporarily detained, waiting for the people's procuratorate to initiate a public prosecution against him at the people's court. Only after being sentenced to a crime would he be transferred to prison; during this stage, he could appeal and clear his name.

Actually, he didn't care whether he was sentenced or not, as long as Zhou Jiajia and the others were safe. He would leave this place and escape if he ever grew tired of staying here.

For now, he had only one strategy: wait.

If Zhou Jiajia and the others had the ability to clear up the case, he would be out soon; if not, it didn't matter either.

"This is the second time I've ended up in a place like a prison," Lin Yifan sighed.

The first time he went to prison, it was for killing a big drug lord who deserved death. He was detained briefly by state authorities before being released.

Now, entering prison again, but this time saddled with a heavy charge, made him somewhat irritated; after all, he was framed, and the real culprit was still out there, beyond the reach of the law.

On the other side, Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing were searching for evidence day and night. This prolonged physical and mental exhaustion was starting to wear on Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing.

They were just ordinary people, not like Xiao Fang who had cultivation power to support her body, allowing her to be full of energy without physical exhaustion.

"Jiajia, Qingqing, you guys go back and rest. Let me follow the trail of clues," Xiao Fang suggested.

"Can you handle it by yourself?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

Tracking clues not only requires a keen eye but also some familiarity with computer operations. Xiao Fang, coming from the valley, was a woman unfamiliar with modern civilization. Although she had lived in the city for a while, her understanding of many computer operations was still at a primary school level; therefore, they were worried she might not cope on her own.

"Although I'm not some computer expert or programmer, I can still manage the basic operations, so you can rest assured," Xiao Fang reassured them.

While her memory might not be as strong as Lin Yifan's, it wasn't bad either. She remembered some basic computer operations that Zhou Jiajia and the others used in their daily life.

"Alright! Since that's the case, we'll leave it to you," Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing felt assured leaving things in Xiao Fang's hands.

Xiao Fang was not only skilled in martial arts but also intelligent. She wasn't clueless and could ask for help with anything she didn't understand; their worries were unnecessary.

So, they split up, one group headed back to An Qi's home to rest, and the other continued to track the origins of the truck.

The company had such a big incident, and An Qi's elderly parents were extremely worried.

Although they had handed the company over to Lin Yifan, they still occasionally worried about the company's development. After all, it was built on years of their hard work and the sweat of many people; naturally, they did not want to see it fall so quickly.

"Jiajia, Qingqing, you're finally back? We were so worried about you two," they said.

As soon as Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing stepped through the gate, An Qi's parents hurried over to welcome them, then swiftly brought the extremely exhausted duo inside to sit down.

"Uncle, Auntie, we're sorry for making you worry," Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing apologized on their own initiative.

No matter how tired their bodies or mentally exhausted they felt, basic manners were still necessary.

"Our old bones can handle it, but you young ones, what would we do if something happened to you? How would we face your parents, how would we face Qi'er?"

"Uncle and Auntie, don't worry, we're alright for now!" Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing explained.

"What's the situation at the company now? And my future son-in-law? Why didn't he come back with you?" An Qi's father and mother asked curiously.

"Yifan...he was taken away by the public security bureau," Zhou Jiajia answered.

"What? Taken away?" Hearing this news, An Qi's father and mother nearly fainted from shock.

Fortunately, Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing reacted quickly, supporting them, helping them catch their breath, fanning them, and getting them fresh air, otherwise they might have really collapsed.

"Oh no! My future son-in-law! If anything happened to you, how would we explain it to Qi'er?" An Qi's father and mother were extremely worried.

They knew their daughter's heart had no room for anyone else. If An Qi learned that Lin Yifan had been sentenced to death, it was hard to say what she would think or do.

"Uncle and Auntie, there's no need to worry too much, Yifan is only temporarily detained, he hasn't been convicted yet, there's still a chance to turn things around," Zhou Jiajia explained.

Upon hearing this, An Qi's father and mother felt a surge of hope, asking, "Really? You're not lying to us?"

"Yes, really, I swear on my life," Zhou Jiajia replied.

With this reassurance, An Qi's father and mother felt slightly relieved.

While Lin Yifan's safety was no longer a concern, another question weighed on their minds: the truthfulness of Lin Yifan's involvement in drug trafficking.

So they asked, "Speaking of which, did our future son-in-law use the company's products to traffic drugs?"

The one thing they detested and abhorred the most in life were drugs. If Lin Yifan was a drug trafficker, they would never allow their daughter to marry such a criminal.

"Yifan was framed, just like the incident with the drugs hidden in the warehouse last time," Zhou Jiajia replied.

"Are you certain?"

"We can stake our lives on it, Yifan has never done anything so against his conscience," Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing replied.

"That's a relief! As long as he's not a drug trafficker, everything is fine," An Qi's father and mother said, somewhat consoled.

Afterward, they urged, "You both must be tired, go and take a bath and rest."

"Yes! Uncle and Auntie, you should rest early too."

With that, Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing went back to their room to bathe and rest.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fang continued to investigate the case, tracking down the clues.

Following the roadside surveillance cameras, she tracked the trail to the outskirts. Here, all clues ended.

Because there were few shops in the countryside, and very few residents had surveillance cameras installed, she could not tell which direction the truck had fled to, or from where it had entered the city.

This matter had to be left to Zhao Dabing, because as a police officer, he could access the highway cameras for tracking.

However, just as she was about to withdraw, the sound of a police siren echoed from afar.
