141: rapist

He was worried that Zhang Weiguang had hidden a large amount of money in the refrigerator.

If he were to take it out rashly, he would be too conspicuous.

Renting a place and driving in and out would be safer.

Last night, Chen Su had already looked up rental information for the Lotus New City Residential Area in Maple City online.

It just so happened that someone was renting out a unit in Building 17 of the complex, saving him a lot of trouble... The call was quickly connected, and a hearty voice came through the line.

"I'm free, I'm free. I'm right here in the complex. Give me another call when you arrive."

Chen Su: "I'm already at the entrance of the complex."

"Then wait a moment, I'll come out to meet you right away."

...Two minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the Lotus New City Residential Area.

Only Chen Su was at the entrance.

The middle-aged man walked straight toward him.

"Hello, are you the one looking to rent?" the middle-aged man asked Chen Su.

"Oh, yes."

"Then let's go, I'll take you to see it."

...The middle-aged man's apartment was Room 1605 on the 16th floor of Building 17.

When he opened the door and entered, Chen Su discovered that the apartment had been partitioned into five units.

Each room was only about 25 square meters.

He led Chen Su into one of the rooms labeled '03' on the door.

The layout of the room was very simple, with only a bed and a desk.

It also came with a small private bathroom.

Chen Su didn't plan to live there anyway; he was renting it mainly as a cover to make driving in and out more convenient.

So, it didn't matter whether the conditions were good or not... "I'll take this one. How much is the monthly rent?"

"For a long-term lease, it's 1,000 yuan a month. For a short-term lease, it's 1,200 yuan."

Chen Su nodded. "I'll only rent it for one month. I'm in Maple City to handle some business this month."

"If it's only for one month, the rent will be 1,400 yuan," the middle-aged man said calmly, raising an eyebrow.

"Fine, 1,400 it is."

Chen Su just wanted to rent the place quickly and couldn't be bothered to haggle over 200 yuan with this sub-landlord.

The middle-aged man pulled a paper contract from his pocket and they signed it on the spot.

Chen Su added him on WeChat and transferred 1,400 yuan to him... "If you have any problems or need anything repaired while you're living here, just send me a message," the landlord said to Chen Su before leaving.

"Alright."

...After the landlord left, Chen Su walked out and observed the layout of the entire floor. Except for the surveillance cameras in the elevators and hallways, there were none anywhere else.

After getting a sense of the overall layout, Chen Su went to the property management office to register his license plate.

Once registered, he drove away immediately.

He still had to go back and find a suitcase.

It would be safer to come back after dark when there were fewer people around... Meanwhile, at the Wenchang District Public Security Sub-bureau in Maple City.

A woman in her fifties was weeping and complaining in front of two Police Officers.

"Comrade Police Officer, you must help us. That Chen Su ran away after raping my daughter, and now her belly is getting bigger by the day."

"The doctor at the hospital even said that if my daughter aborts this child, she won't be able to conceive again. How are we supposed to live like this!"

Xu Jing's mother, Liu Hongmian, wiped away tears as she spoke.

The Police Officer next to her handed her a tissue while asking, "Ma'am, take your time. What are the characteristics of the person who raped your daughter?"

Liu Hongmian took out her phone and showed the police the photo of Chen Su that Xu Jing had sent her.

She also provided Chen Su's ID number to the police... Before leaving the house, she had confidently promised her daughter that she would definitely find Chen Su.

Xu Jing had heard that her mother had a way to find Chen Su.

After searching for a long time, she finally found a photo of Chen Su in the corner of a folder and sent it to her mother.

She also sent Chen Su's ID number along with it... No wonder Xu's mother dared to guarantee she could find him.

With this kind of information, even the Jade Emperor could be tracked down... Just then, two young Police Officers walked into the lobby of the Sub-bureau.

They were none other than He Youwen and A Liao, who had just reported for duty that morning.

As soon as they entered, they saw Liu Hongmian wiping away tears and snot.

"Has this lady been scammed?" He Youwen asked the nearby Police Officer.

"It's not a scam. Her daughter was raped, and the rapist is on the run," a female Police Officer nearby explained.

"We've already pulled up the rapist's information. His name is Chen Su, and he lives in the Crystal Lake Mirror Community. We're just about to send someone to arrest him!"

"You said the rapist's name is Chen Su?"

The female Comrade Police Officer nodded. "Yes. The photo and ID number provided by this lady match Chen Su's information in the system perfectly."

"Let me see."

He Youwen walked over to the computer to take a look.

It really was Chen Su!

This was ridiculous. Chen Su was doing perfectly fine and had a stunning beauty throwing herself at him; why would he rape someone?

Was he out of his mind... He Youwen walked up to Liu Hongmian and asked, "Ma'am, are you sure it's this Chen Su who raped your daughter?"

Liu Hongmian looked aggrieved. "Could I possibly be joking about my own daughter's purity?"

He Youwen looked closely at the woman in front of him; she did bear some resemblance to Chen Su's ex-girlfriend, Xu Jing.

He asked tentatively, "Ma'am, is your daughter's name Xu Jing?"

"Yes, Comrade Police Officer, do you know my daughter? You must help us mother and daughter!" Liu Hongmian started crying even harder when she heard that He Youwen knew Xu Jing.

"Ma'am, can you be responsible for what you're saying? You know that framing someone is a crime, right?" A Liao said from the side.

"How can I not be responsible? I know exactly what kind of person my daughter is. Poor thing, she hides at home every day, too afraid to go out, crying her eyes out. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I came to report it."

"Alright, Ma'am, I will definitely help you with this. Have your daughter come down to the station, and we'll send someone to arrest Chen Su immediately," He Youwen said coldly.

Yesterday, Xu Jing had gone to Feng Wenjun's new store to cause trouble, but instead, she ended up being cyberbullied by the entire internet.

Unexpectedly, after just one night, her mother had jumped out to cause trouble again.

"Why do you need my daughter to come? Can't you just arrest the rapist?"

"Ma'am, we have to follow procedures. We need your daughter to come so she and Chen Su can go to the hospital for a paternity test. If it's Chen Su's, we can prosecute and convict him," the female Comrade Police Officer explained.

"I see. Alright then, I'll call my daughter over now."

She didn't have the slightest doubt that the child in Xu Jing's belly might not be Chen Su's... Just as the female Comrade Police Officer was about to arrange for someone to arrest Chen Su, He Youwen stopped her. "There's no need to send anyone out. I'll just give the party involved a call and have him come over."

He then took out his phone and called Chen Su... At that moment, Chen Su was on his way home.

"Hello, Xiao Wenzi, what's up? I'm driving right now!"

"Come over to the Wenchang District Public Security Sub-bureau."

"Is something the matter?"

"You'll know once you get here."

"Alright, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up, Chen Su turned around and drove toward the Wenchang District Public Security Sub-bureau... On the other side, Xu Jing also hailed a taxi and headed toward the Wenchang District Public Security Sub-bureau...
