The smile on the man's face faded, not lasting even a few seconds before the group exchanged glances and returned to their boisterous demeanors.
The stopping was brief. Seeing their lack of cooperation, Di Mingjue could no longer suppress his anger.
His collar was grabbed again. The man leading the disturbance thought he could escape as he had before.
Before he could utter a word, a fist landed squarely on his cheek.
With a grunt, the man began to wail pathetically. "It hurts so much! They're killing me! They're killing someone in the police station!"
The walls of the interrogation room were lined with soundproofing. No matter how loudly he shouted, no one outside could hear him, but it was torment for the person inside.
"Alright, shut your mouth!" The police officer gestured with a baton from the table.
They knew where to draw the line. The man immediately closed his mouth obediently.
The police officer stepped forward politely to Di Mingjue. "Mr. Di, it's really not appropriate to be fighting here. Why don't you wait outside? We'll question them as quickly as possible."
"Brother Mingjue, your hand is injured," Yu Xixi reminded him.
When he had struck the man, he had moved too quickly and scraped his hand against a nearby chair, breaking the skin.
These people in front of him wouldn't reveal anything anyway. In fact, Gu Xiuyu wouldn't tell them the location he was going to.
Di Mingjue turned and left the interrogation room. Looking at the vast police station, he felt utterly helpless. How could he let Ye Ziyu accompany Gu Xiuyu?
"Phone?"
As soon as Ye Chenhan arrived beside Di Mingjue, he demanded the phone. "Quick, check if you can see Ziyu's location."
Opening his phone, Di Mingjue tapped on the tracking app. The phone showed a location at the docks.
"He's taking Ziyu away from Sijiu City?" Ye Chenhan guessed, looking at the screen.
There were many ferries at the docks leading to surrounding cities. If they truly left Sijiu City, finding them would be incredibly difficult.
"Let's go to the docks now," Di Mingjue said. "Chenhan, you find a way to contact the person in charge at the docks and temporarily lock down the port, preventing any ship from departing."
Easier said than done. It would take some time. By then, even if they locked it down, Gu Xiuyu might have already left with Ye Ziyu. Still, it was worth a shot.
Ye Chenhan handed the car keys to Shen Lin and then called Ye Shaoting. Besides Ye Qianzhi, Ye Shaoting held the most authority in the Ye Corporation. What he said carried more weight with others.
The docks.
Gu Xiuyu parked the car at the far end of the docks. He looked at Ye Ziyu still in the back seat, his heart filled with excitement. Once they boarded the cruise ship, she would be his wife.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and moved from the driver's seat to the back. Gently lifting Ye Ziyu's head from the seat, Gu Xiuyu's gaze fell on Ye Ziyu's pocket. He reached in and took out her phone.
Glancing at the family photo on the screen, Gu Xiuyu jealously tossed the phone onto the seat. He picked up Ye Ziyu and left the car.
He had prepared the cruise ship at the docks days in advance. Carrying Ye Ziyu, he encountered no obstacles. After boarding the ship, he placed Ye Ziyu down and entered the cabin alone to start the cruise.
On the calm sea, a cruise ship weaved past larger vessels, heading further away in a diagonal direction.
"Mingjue, slow down!"
Di Mingjue, more like a normal person than a normal person, was followed by a panting Ye Chenhan into the ticket office.
There weren't many people at the docks, and few were taking boats. Upon entering, they were recognized by the person in charge.
"Young Master Ye, Young Master Di?" the person in charge inquired.
Ye Chenhan nodded. "Please check if there are any passengers matching Gu Xiuyu."
