Lin Ziyi also got out of the car and asked, "Who is she?"
Ye Tian replied, "Like us, she was kidnapped."
Lin Ziyi asked the woman, "Miss, did they hurt you?"
The woman replied with lingering fear, "Fortunately, this big brother appeared, otherwise I would have been in trouble. That bearded man's gaze was particularly terrifying."
Ye Tian walked to the Range Rover, opened the car door, and found it was a new car, likely purchased less than a month ago. He said, "Get in, let's go to the hotel."
The car started, and Ye Tian turned on the navigation, heading for the Maple Forest Mountain Villa Hotel.
When they arrived, Liangzi had already put their luggage in the rooms. The mountain villa hotel was vast. They were staying in independent houses, two stories high, with four bedrooms, a large living room, and a spacious kitchen. The refrigerator was filled with fresh ingredients, allowing guests to cook for themselves.
There was another refrigerator in the living room stocked with various drinks and fruits.
The woman introduced herself in the car as Wu Qingmei, a third-year university student. She was on her way to Qixing Village for tourism when she was taken to a car repair shop by a black car driver and then tied up.
Wu Qingmei entered her room and exclaimed, "Wow, is this the Maple Forest Mountain Villa Hotel? It's so luxurious, it must cost a lot per night!"
Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "You can stay here tonight."
Wu Qingmei replied, "That's too kind of you. How about this, I'll pay half the cost."
Ye Tian said, "Don't be so polite. It's fate that we met. We're also going to Qixing Village, so you can follow our car tomorrow."
Wu Qingmei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye."
After sitting in the car for half the day, Lin Ziyi was a bit tired. She took a shower and then slept for a while. When it got dark, Lin Ziyi said she was hungry. Wu Qingmei quickly offered, "Brother Ye, Sister Ziyi, I've done some research and know a few restaurants with good flavors. Tonight, I'll treat you, shall we go try them?"
Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "Alright, let's go out to eat."
Liangzi drove, and the four of them headed to a restaurant about ten kilometers away. This restaurant primarily served noodles, with good stir-fried dishes. At this time, the place was packed, and they had to wait outside.
Ye Tian's Range Rover was parked conspicuously at the entrance of the restaurant. Seeing the wait, Wu Qingmei apologetically said, "Oh dear, I didn't consider this situation. What should we do, should we wait?"
Ye Tian replied, "Since we're here, waiting is fine."
Wu Qingmei went to get a number, and then they returned to the car to wait. Not long after, a police car arrived, and several officers got out, walking directly towards Ye Tian's car.
A stout man at the front adjusted his belt and asked, "Who is the driver?"
Ye Tian replied, "I am."
The stout man glanced at him and asked, "Is the car yours?"
Ye Tian answered, "Yes, it's mine."
At the hotel, he had already asked Ren Ping to handle the paperwork. The car was indeed registered under his name, but the registration and license plates had not yet been updated.
The stout man said, "Give me the vehicle registration."
Ye Tian replied, "The vehicle registration is being updated and is not with me."
The officer's eyes widened, "Without the registration, the car must be impounded."
Ye Tian said, "We're on the same side, please make an exception." He took out a set of documents, indicating a significant status.
The officer took a look and was surprised, "So you are Director Ye. My apologies, I didn't realize it was you."
Ye Tian replied, "It's alright. I'm here on official business to investigate."
The officer's heart stirred, and he asked, "Investigate what?"
Ye Tian said, "I'm sorry, it's classified information, I cannot tell you."
The officer quickly said, "Yes, yes, I understand. If Director Ye needs any cooperation from us, please just say the word."
Ye Tian asked, "What should I call you?"
The stout officer quickly replied, "My name is Ding Dali, captain of Wolf City Patrol Team Three."
Ye Tian then asked, "Oh, you have patrol teams here?"
Ding Dali explained, "It's unavoidable. The area is vast and sparsely populated, making it prone to serious incidents. Therefore, our city established five patrol teams to patrol fixed routes daily."
Ye Tian said, "You work hard."
Ding Dali replied, "It's just my job, not hard work."
Ye Tian then asked, "Why did you come to inquire about this car?"
Ding Dali smiled and said, "Your car costs two million yuan after taxes. There aren't many cars this good in Wolf City. A while ago, someone in Wolf City also bought the same model, so I came to take a look."
Ye Tian responded, "Oh, is that person known as Wolf Lord?"
