215 What Was the Point?
A large number of police cars stopped at the entrance of the Ruan family’s residence, and police officers with loaded guns surrounded the residence.
The sound of footsteps pierced through the night sky, sounding like a chaotic mess.
A black car was parked in the shadow of a tree. Shen Hanyu was watching the residence coldly through the gla.s.s window.
Sang Qianqian was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Her heart felt like it was hanging in the air, like a thin thread that was about to break at any moment.
Shen Hanyu turned his head to look at her face. He held her hand gently and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, the results will be out soon.”
Xie Shi’an’s clues were clear enough.
As long as Sang Minglang was being kept in the Ruan family’s residence, they would definitely be able to save him today.
Sang Qianqian took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.”
“Hanyu, if my brother comes out later, I’ll sit in the same car as him. You can go with Guo Muyang,” she said to Shen Hanyu.
In her dream, Shen Hanyu had come to pick up her brother. They were in the same car when the accident happened.
Shen Hanyu knew what she was worried about, but he still nodded. “Alright,” he said.
Guo Muyang had arranged for people to check all the cars used tonight countless times.
There wouldn’t be any problem no matter which car he took.
—
Twenty minutes later.
The phone suddenly rang. It was the police in charge of the search operation.
Shen Hanyu answered the call and hung up after a while.
He looked at Sang Qianqian and met her anxious eyes. He could not bear to see her like this and said in a low voice, “Qianqian, the police couldn’t find your brother.”
There was not a single person in the secret room. Sang Minglang was not there at all.
If the information that Xie Shi’an had provided was not wrong, then Ruan Cheng must have sensed something and moved them away in advance.
However, Guo Muyang’s men had been watching the Ruan family’s residence, so if there was any movement, they should have been able to detect it in advance.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind…
Another call came in, and the person on the other end said something. Shen Hanyu’s expression changed slightly, but it was only for a moment before he returned to normal.
Sang Qianqian’s nerves, which had been stretched to the extreme, softened. She was as weak as a feather, dejected and depressed.
The whole time, she was in a daze and paid no mind to the second call.
The police had already filed out of the Ruan family’s residence.
Obviously, they had found nothing tonight.
Shen Hanyu started the car. “I’ll send you home,” he said, looking calm.
Sang Qianqian was feeling uneasy the entire journey. It was already one in the morning when they returned to her residence.
Shen Hanyu did not get out of the car. Instead, he only helped her unbuckle her seat belt. “Muyang has something to discuss with me. I have to go. Qianqian, you sleep first.”
“Come back early.” Sang Qianqian urged worriedly.
“Alright,” he replied gently.
Sang Qianqian alighted from the car and walked up the steps. When she reached the door, she could not help but turn back.
Shen Hanyu was still looking at her. In the night, his dark eyes were unusually gentle.
“Hanyu,”
She did not know why, but her heart skipped a beat as she ran to the car. “How about I go with you?” she asked.
“It’s too late at night, so there’s no need. Besides, don’t you have to work tomorrow?”
Through the car window, Shen Hanyu lifted his hand to brush away the hair on her cheek and kissed her forehead. He said in a low voice, “Be good, go back to your room and sleep early.”
In the end, Sang Qianqian still listened to him and entered the house.
Behind her, Shen Hanyu rolled up the window, turned the car around, and drove away.
The moment the car window rolled up, his expression turned exceptionally cold. He drove very fast and arrived at the hospital that the police had mentioned.
Guo Muyang was lying on the hospital bed, his brows furrowed in pain.
The doctor was treating the injuries on his body. His right leg’s pants were rolled up to his knee, and half of his leg was badly cut, with many broken gla.s.s shards.
Seeing Shen Hanyu rush in, Guo Muyang grinned. “You’re here so quickly? Don’t worry, I won’t die. I’m just slightly injured.”
“What happened?” Shen Hanyu asked in a deep voice.
The doctor took a pair of forceps and was taking out a large piece of gla.s.s shard, making Guo Muyang hiss in pain.
His voice was a little unstable, “I was tricked by Shao Jin. I was too careless.”
Half an hour before the police surrounded the Ruan family’s residence, Shao Jin suddenly drove out of the building.
There was a man leaning on the back seat, but his face could not be seen clearly.
Worried that the person in his car was Sang Minglang, Guo Muyang personally brought his men and followed the other party in his car in a moment of panic.
In the end, they were stopped by a truck at an intersection, and the car accidentally flipped over.
Fortunately, his men arrived in time and rescued him, so Guo Muyang was safe.
Shao Jin’s car was then stopped by the police. It was only then that they realized that the man in the back seat was just an ordinary subordinate, and Sang Minglang was not in the car at all.
As for the truck that had left Guo Muyang, it was found to be parked at a remote intersection, and the driver inside had long disappeared.
“What’s with that expression?”
Guo Muyang looked at Shen Hanyu’s sullen face and pretended to be relaxed. “There’s someone more annoying than us tonight. The police who came to me understood the situation and were furious. They knew that Ruan Cheng might have arranged everything, but they couldn’t do anything to him.”
There was no evidence at all that could prove that Guo Muyang’s injury tonight was related to the Ruan family.
Shen Hanyu didn’t reply. His expression was cold.
Ruan Cheng had been able to fight with the police for so many years and escape unscathed every time. Naturally, it was not easy to deal with him.
The only thing he was afraid of now was that Sang Minglang was in his hands, and that was why he was restricted in every way.
Ruan Cheng must have noticed that they were watching the Ruan family and knew about the police’s actions tonight. He’s not afraid of being investigated at all.
Guo Muyang expressed his doubts. “Hanyu, do you think that the clue Xie Shi’an gave us was a fake one? He had such a close relationship with the Ruan family, so why would he betray Ruan Cheng? Is it possible that he was ordered by Ruan Cheng to tell us this fake news to lie to us?”
He pondered. “However, if it was really Ruan Cheng who instructed Xie Shi’an to do this, what was the purpose of him lying to us?”
Shen Hanyu’s face was expressionless, but his eyes were dark.
On the way here, he had also been thinking about the problem that Guo Muyang had mentioned.
If Xie Shi’an had really lied to Qianqian, then what was the point?
In order to teach Guo Muyang a lesson?
With Ruan Cheng’s methods, he didn’t need to go through so much trouble.
If news of the police searching the Ruan family’s residence in the middle of the night were to spread, it would not do the Ruan family any good.
Ruan Cheng didn’t hesitate to involve the Ruan family, which was already at the heart of the storm, in a search.
What did he want?
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.
Shen Hanyu glanced at Guo Muyang’s injury and stood up. “I have something to attend to. I’ll be leaving now.”
Guo Muyang was shocked. “You’ve only been here for a few minutes and you’re already leaving me alone?”
“Didn’t you say you won’t die?” Shen Hanyu had already walked out. “Take care of yourself.”
He strode out of the ward as soon as he finished speaking. Guo Muyang was speechless.
It was already so late, what could happen?
Wasn’t he just rushing to see his wife? Did he really think he wouldn’t know?

Sang Qianqian could not fall asleep. She did not even go to the bedroom. Instead, she waited in the living room for Shen Hanyu to return.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Xie Shi’an.
