The stick-thin Chu Wen had no power to resist. He was easily pushed to the ground, and his face was pressed on the floor.
He felt deeply humiliated. “Are you crazy? Why are you doing this to me?”
Wu De’s face showed a cold look, “Until I investigate clearly, I’m sorry that you have to wait here a little longer, master.”
Chu Wen gritted his teeth and was filled with rage. The corner of his mouth was pressed against the cold floor and even some saliva flew out as he shrieked out, “Today’s shame will be repaid a hundredfold!”
Now, in addition to the woman who ruined his plan last time, there was this Wu De on his death list. Wu De’s name even ranked first! After all, no one had ever humiliated him like this!
Seeing that all his emotions were displayed on his face, Wu De couldn’t help but laugh and didn’t take his words to heart at all.
The secretary urgently sent someone to look for Wu De’s youngest son at the abandoned leather shoe factory in the southern suburbs of Nancheng City.

More than half an hour later, good news finally came, “Chairman, we have found the young master.”
Wu De was very happy, and his face showed rare true emotions, “How is his health? Is there anything wrong with him?”
“He was just knocked out. The doctor said there was nothing physically wrong with him after conducting an examination.”
“That’s good, that’s good,” Wu De breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chu Wen saw that he had found his son, he quickly said, “You should let me go now.”
This man was really ruthless and extremely sharp. When a scholar encountered a soldier, he could not explain why he was justified1. But if he could not explain, he would directly take action against him! This was really a tough situation to get out of.
Chu Wen was very frightened and felt remorseful. He already regretted abducting this man’s son.
Wu De did not let Chu Wen go. Ordinary people might not think the worst about other people, but he was different.
For him, Chu Wen’s little thoughts were simply written all over his face.
He was very sure in his heart that his youngest son was abducted by Chu Wen, and a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes. How dare you touch his little treasure? He would make it impossible for him to live and beg to die.
He walked to Chu Wen’s side, picked up the hammer on the table that was there as a decoration and raised his hand to knock him with it.
The hammer was larger than a human head and was made of metal. If the hammer hits him in full swing, it would split him open like a cantaloupe.
“Stop!!!”
When Chu Wen saw that he would be hit, his eyes couldn’t help but tear up, and he peed his pants on the spot—God2! Can someone please come and save him?
As if someone had heard his plea, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Wu De had already swung his big hand, and the hammer stopped less that two centimeters away from Chu Wen’s head.
“Tch, I’m giving you an advantage.”
Wu De stood up with a look of disdain on his face. He thought that the person on the door was his partner, who had an appointment to meet today, so he turned to look at the secretary, “Open the door.”
He didn’t ask the security guard to let Chu Wen go. Anyway, that partner of his was trustworthy.
The secretary quickly walked to the door, turned the handle, and opened it. When he saw the people outside the door clearly, his eyes widened and he froze on the spot.
Wu De put the hammer back on his table with a calm expression but much reluctance in his heart, preparing to wait for his partner to leave before continuing to deal with Chu Wen.
This charlatan had to shed his skin before Wu De could fully vent his hatred. He had been left anxious about his missing son for many days.
No one could stop him unless the police themselves come!
But just then, an unfamiliar yet firm voice came to his ears, “Are you Wu De?”
Wu De blinked. This did not seem to be the voice of his partner…
He immediately turned his head, and his face froze.
Why are the police here looking for him?
The policeman at the front walked up to him with a notebook in his hand and looked at him. “Someone made a report that you had committed murder and submitted evidence to our police station. Come with us.”
Wu De raised the corners of his mouth, smiled quickly, and said flatteringly, “Comrade police, have you arrested the wrong person? How could I have committed a murder?”
Suddenly, An Rugu’s words from yesterday flashed in his mind, “You will face a prison disaster.”
His face gradually turned red. That person’s divination was so accurate that she didn’t seem human but more like a god.
Behind the sofa and away from sight, Chu Wen, who was still being held down by the security guard, screamed loudly, “Help me! He is going to kill me!”
When the security guard saw that the police had come, he did not dare to continue suppressing Chu Wen. Taking advantage of the moment they relaxed their hold on him, Chu Wen quickly broke away and ran towards the police. He was as excited as if he had seen his father again and felt a sense of security in his heart.
Great, someone finally came to save him!
Then, he turned to look at Wu De with deep gloating in his eyes.
No wonder he would take action at the slightest disagreement! He turned out to be a ruthless person with a murder record. It seemed that there was no need for him to take revenge, this man will already end up in jail.
However, just when he was happy to have survived the disaster, a pair of cold handcuffs were clamped on his wrists.
Chu Wen: “?”
Chu Wen’s hands were cuffed together. He shook the handcuffs and said blankly, “You are mistaken. The person who should be handcuffed is him.”
The policeman in front of him shook his head, “No mistake. It’s you.”
Chu Wen: “???”
“Why? What did I do?” Chu Wen wailed.
The policeman said, “Someone also reported you for fraud and extortion.”
Chu Wen thought that the story of him kidnapping a child has been revealed. He panicked and said incoherently, “I’m not, I didn’t. You arrested the wrong person. I have never committed fraud. I didn’t kidnap the child.”
However, the policeman shook his head again, “It’s not only about this case. Mr. Xu Han, the chairman of Star Hotel, has accused you of harming him in a special way.”
Chu Wen: “…”
