Chapter 303: Chapter 299: Capture and Bring to Justice Upon hearing this, Tang Shiyun’s cheeks immediately revealed a sweet smile. She knew that as long as she was in danger, Ling would certainly not ignore her. She squeezed into Ling Chen’s arms, took a deep breath, and wanted to remember his scent forever, murmuring softly, "Ling, it feels so good to have you by my side." Just as the two were intimately nestled against each other, blinding flashes suddenly lit up outside the pit. Ling Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked up to see several photographers mixed in with the police, ceaselessly snapping photos. Before the police could rescue Tang Shiyun from the pit, two reporters had already jumped down with microphones in hand, anxiously asking, "Miss Tang, what do you have to say about being kidnapped this time?" "Miss Tang, was this kidnapping targeting you personally or for money?" "Miss Tang..." Annoyed by the incessant questioning of the reporters, Ling Chen immediately lost patience, blocked their microphones with one hand, and embraced Tang Shiyun to avoid being photographed, while asking Xia Mutong, "Officer Xia, what is this all about?" Xia Mutong explained with resignation, "It’s the chief’s order. He promised a few significant media outlets exclusive information, aiming to give more coverage to our police force’s accomplishments." Ling Chen was somewhat displeased internally, but after all, it was the chief’s command and he had no choice. The successful rescue of Tang Shiyun by the city police would greatly enhance the fame of the police force if it was well-promoted. Correspondingly, the chief in charge of the police force would naturally receive significant credit. He then escorted Tang Shiyun, avoiding the reporters’ disturbances, and quickly made their way to the car surrounded by a crowd of police officers. Shortly after, Xia Mutong brought the kidnapper Zhou Lin down from the mountain and placed him in the car. Back at Silver Star Entertainment Company, Yang Chengfeng, Yao Li, and Zhu Yansong, who had already received the news, were all waiting at the entrance, looking down the street with anticipation. As the police car arrived, everyone’s faces were filled with joyful smiles as they quickly stepped forward to greet them. "My daughter!" Yao Li, with tears in her eyes, hugged Tang Shiyun tightly and burst into tears, "My daughter, I was so worried about you, I thought I’d never see you again." Tang Shiyun comforted her, "Mom, don’t cry, look I’m fine." Saying this, she turned her head to look at Ling Chen, who had just gotten out of the car, and said with a glowing smile, "I owe it to Ling for being safe this time. Mom, you should really thank Ling." "Thank him?" Recalling how she had been publicly slapped by Ling Chen, Yao Li’s anger flared up as she coldly said, "Why should we thank him? He did nothing to deserve it. If we should thank anyone, it should be Officer Xia for the big help his police force provided." "Mom, how can you say that," Tang Shiyun said, visibly displeased, "If it weren’t for Ling acting in time to stop the kidnapper, I could have..." "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that now." Yao Li, irritable, cut off her daughter’s words. She felt annoyed hearing her continually mention Ling, "Daughter, you must be tired too, I’ll accompany you back to rest first. Mr. Zhu, please arrange a car to take us to the hotel." Tang Shiyun wanted to say goodbye to Ling Chen, but she was forcibly held back by Yao Li and couldn’t get away. She could only turn back to look at Ling Chen with an apologetic expression. Ling Chen smiled faintly, nonchalantly waving his hand, mouthing ’rest well.’ As the Lincoln Sedan drove away, a group of reporters immediately followed by car, while a few set their sights on Ling Chen, crowding in front of him with their microphones, bombarding him with various questions. Ling Chen really hates scenes like this, so he immediately pushed through the crowd and quickly walked into the entrance hall of Silver Star Entertainment Company. "Mr. Ling, I can’t thank you enough this time. If it hadn’t been for your help, Silver Star Entertainment might have gone through a huge crisis," Yang Chengfeng expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Tang Shiyun was a major star fully cultivated by Silver Star Entertainment, in whom the company had invested countless efforts. Without Silver Star Entertainment’s cost-ignorant comprehensive packaging and promotion, even with Tang Shiyun’s talent, it wouldn’t have been possible for her to reach this level in such a short time. Thus, any harm coming Tang Shiyun’s way would undoubtedly be a severe blow to Silver Star Entertainment, with all the prior investments going down the drain. "President Yang, Shiyun is my friend, and I’ve always treated her as a sister. Protecting her is my responsibility; you don’t need to be so polite." Saying this, Ling Chen looked at the time, stood up and said, "President Yang, it’s getting late, I’ll head back now. You all should rest early too." "Okay, take care, Mr. Ling." After leaving Silver Star Entertainment Company, Ling Chen saw Xia Mutong leaning against the police car, taking a phone call. As he approached, Xia Mutong put down her cell phone, her eyebrows slightly relaxed, and a faint smile on her lips, she said, "Just as you predicted, Zhuang Qian and Guan Long planned to smuggle out to sea overnight and head to Vietnam. They were caught all at once by the people we had lying in wait in advance. The twenty million ransom was recovered in full and is now being escorted to the police station." "Congratulations, for successfully solving a kidnapping and murder case. After this, your chief is definitely going to promote and give you a raise." "I’m not counting on that. Alright, I won’t talk anymore; I still have to go back to interrogate and write reports, it looks like it will be an all-nighter." "Don’t work too hard; take care of your health." After watching Xia Mutong drive away, Ling Chen also drove back to Wealthy Manor. Two o’clock in the morning. Having just finished an interrogation, Xia Mutong dragged her tired body out of the interrogation room and back to her office. Feeling her stomach growl, she recalled that she had not had dinner yet, having been too busy with the case. Unable to withstand the hunger, she stood up to get some instant noodles from the station’s pantry to quickly satiate her hunger. At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of her office. "Come in." The door opened, and a delivery guy in work attire asked with a smile, "Are you Miss Xia?" "That’s me." Xia Mutong nodded, looking confusedly at the delivery guy, and asked, "And you are?" "Miss Xia, hello, here’s your takeout." As he spoke, the delivery guy took out several boxed meals from the insulated bag, placed them on the table, and turned to leave. "Wait a minute!" Xia Mutong quickly called out to him, asking, "Who sent this?" "Sorry, Mr. Ling asked us not to reveal his name." The moment the words left his mouth, the delivery guy immediately covered his own mouth, smiled apologetically, and quickly slipped out. "Mr. Ling?" Xia Mutong’s lips curled up with a playful smile. Unexpectedly, the guy could be quite caring. Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sweetness in her heart.
