The police didn't say anything to them for the time being. They just took control of everyone and took them back to the police station.
Moreover, since a murder had occurred at the scene, the bodyguards seemed to be dangerous.
So when they got on the police car, Xu Tingyu and the others were handcuffed.
Chen Yan naturally didn't want Xu Tingyu to be handcuffed. "We men may be dangerous, but she's just a young girl. There's no need for this, right?"
Before the law, everyone is equal. Who cares about gender?
Seeing that the police officer looked unhappy and was about to scold Chen Yan, Xu Tingyu quickly spoke up. "It's okay. I don't mind."
She really didn't mind.
Since she hadn't committed any crime, there was nothing for her to mind. It was her bad luck to be at the scene of a murder.
On the way to the police station in the police car.
Chen Yan suddenly laughed. "I've never been handcuffed or ridden in a police car before. This is really an unpleasant experience."
"Well, this is also a valuable experience. It should teach you to be a good person and never do anything illegal."
Xu Tingyu made a joke.
In fact, many of her reactions were instinctive. Her mind was in a complete mess, and she couldn't sort out her thoughts at all.
But seeing her joking like this, Chen Yan did calm down a bit and didn't say anything else.
The others were even calmer. They didn't say a word during the whole process and always cooperated.
When they arrived at the police station and were separated for interrogation, Xu Tingyu and the others finally knew why the police had arrived so quickly.
After Xu Tingyu and the others entered the abandoned factory building, the taxi driver felt something was wrong as he drove away.
A group of young people, all dressed stylishly. What were they doing in that abandoned place?
He was afraid they were doing something illegal and that he might get involved.
After all, who would ask a driver to wait for an extra twenty minutes and pay an extra five hundred yuan?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, so he called the police directly.
When the police heard it was a fight, they didn't delay and immediately sent two officers to check the situation.
As a result, the fight escalated into a murder.
"We didn't kill anyone. When we went in, they were already like that. I have the payment time record on my phone."
"We didn't have the time to commit the crime either. It's obvious that Cai Lan had been dead for a few hours."
Chen Yan showed the police his phone payment record.
"We'll make a judgment after the specific reports come out. For now, we need to know why you went there."
The police ignored his words and continued to ask questions.
Chen Yan knew he had to cooperate, but there were some things he didn't want to say on Xu Tingyu's behalf, so he said, "I'll wait for my lawyer."
On the other side, Xu Tingyu was also answering questions.
"We went there because we had an appointment with Cai Lan. He had something to tell me.
"But at that time, I was abroad and couldn't get back in time. I was afraid something might go wrong, so I asked my friend to go on my behalf.
"My friend is the one who got injured. After I landed, I tried to contact him, but I couldn't reach him.
"Out of caution, we called the bodyguards before going in."
Xu Tingyu didn't tell a single lie.
Because she wanted to know what was going on more than anyone else.
The police asked a few more questions and checked her ID, then asked her to take a break and said they would talk to her later.
She waited for a long time.
It wasn't until Chen Yan's lawyer arrived and accompanied Chen Yan to finish the statement that the group reunited.
"Although your suspicions have been temporarily ruled out, we still hope that you don't leave the capital in the near future.
"This way, you can cooperate with our investigation at any time, and it will also help us solve the case faster."
Before leaving the police station, a police officer said to them.
"Okay. I also hope the case can be solved as soon as possible. Thank you all for your hard work."
Xu Tingyu looked in good spirits and could even keep smiling.
But Chen Yan could tell that she was very tense, and it seemed like she was about to faint at any moment.
His eyes were always on her.
Fortunately, she remained conscious until they walked out of the police station.
"I can't leave for the time being. I'll stay in a hotel first. Chen Yan, are you going to stay in the capital for a few days or go back first?"
When she got in the car, she felt a bit guilty towards Chen Yan.
Chen Yan had been running around with her for the past two days and was already very tired. Now he had even been involved in a murder case.
"I'll stay here with you for a few days. But we can't stay in a hotel. Hotels are too crowded and dangerous.
"I have a large flat in the capital. No one knows about it. The property management of the community is good, and the security is also very good. It's safe for you to stay with me there."
Chen Yan could tell the guilt in her eyes.
But he wouldn't point it out directly. Otherwise, she would definitely ask him to leave.
Xu Tingyu thought for a while and then agreed. "That's fine. We can't let too many people know that we're back for the time being."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a news item pop up on her phone.
The protagonist was herself.
To be precise, it was her and Chen Yan.
The girl who took a photo with her on the plane today posted the photo on her social media platform.
It turned out that she was a popular internet celebrity with many fans.
The caption read: "I'm so excited. I met my idol on the plane today. She's super nice and super beautiful."
Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal.
But some sharp-eyed people in the comment section recognized Chen Yan from just half of his profile in the selfie.
"Isn't this gentleman Young Master Chen? This national playboy who changes girlfriends more often than clothes has been keeping a low profile for the past few years."
At first, the comments didn't imply anything else. They were just simple remarks.
But then this internet celebrity picked this comment and replied.
"Really? Who is Young Master Chen? I don't know him. But this gentleman was really taking good care of my idol."
Not long after she replied, someone asked, "So is Young Master Chen keeping a low profile these years because of this lady? Is your idol Young Master Chen's wife?"
The internet celebrity replied to this comment again. "Oh my god, I didn't say that. Don't spread rumors in the comment section."
However, this comment, which seemed like an explanation but was actually more like a "confirmation," quickly made the phrase "Young Master Chen's wife" trend on the internet.
Some people also dug out that the woman who had tamed Young Master Chen was Xu Tingyu, who had caused a sensation during her concert tour in the capital some time ago.
"Young Master Chen has really good taste. That sister's waist, legs, and dance moves are so amazing. I wouldn't even dare to dream about having them."
"Right. A playboy and a dancer. What should I do? I think I'm starting to ship them."
"I heard they're childhood sweethearts. Finally, a childhood sweetheart has defeated the new love. Kill me to add to their happiness."
...
Even though people had dug out that Chen Yan and Xu Tingyu were childhood sweethearts, no one mentioned that Xu Tingyu was also Qi Shifeng's ex-wife.
Did the internet have no memory, or were these things just not allowed to be posted?
