Chapter 6: A separate entity
After hearing the updates, Jia and Minghsen rushed back to the bureau to meet up Huojin and get more information about the situation.
Huojin and his team had thoroughly searched the area thrice, even then they failed to find Danya. All they found there was an abandoned van.
"Damn! Did they take Danya to somewhere else while Huojin was on his way?" Jia was mumbling to herself as she tried to find the answers in her head.
"Were we late?"
She was internally mapping different locations around the area in her mind to think of the possible places they could have taken Danya next.
Mingshen curiously observed her. "Why are you still exerting your brain cells?"
Jia squinted her eyes. "What do you mean still? The case isn't resolved yet."
"Which is not your responsibility anymore. You heard it right? It's Huayuan's territory. The police cannot do anything about it."
"I didn't understand what Miss. Wenqian said and I cannot buy it. What does she mean by autonomy? Everything falls under the People's Republic of China. The law and order isn't different for anybody."
Mingshen chuckled. "Are you ignoring the Underworld, my dear?"
Her brow twitched.
