With the license plate number, Chu He went to investigate at the police station and soon found some leads to the kidnappers' car.

After the car left the Black Dragon Pool Village, it headed for the capital via a provincial road. It was six in the morning when the vehicle reached the capital; after which, it drove to a remote place, all the way to Yishan Town, on the capital's highway.

There were no traces of the car afterward.

Other than finding out that the car had violated several traffic rules, there were no other leads.

However, the leads she had now were invaluable. At least, the license number was not a clone and the description of the van matched the clues Meng Qingxue had provided. Thus, she knew that the vehicle should be within the vicinity of Yishan Town.

However, when she proposed to arrest the suspects, the officer she worked with appeared to have some inhibitions.

"Chu He, this matter has to be reported to the director. The process to conduct an arrest is very cumbersome; the funds for manpower use need to be approved by the director before we can mobilize them. The problem is, the director is currently out of town on a business trip , so even if the proposal is handed to him, the approval will take a while and may even be rejected; this will cause a long delay, but It's a different story if you can finance this search-and-rescue yourself!"

"Finance it myself?"

"Yes. For example, paying the police station for the manpower deployed. However, as the leads are limited, even if you rush to Yishan Town with a large team, you may still be unable to arrest the culprits."

The policewoman's face stiffened for a moment.

"Yan City is a small county, after all. The provincial bureau is given limited funds every year. The director is unlikely to approve your proposal. Are you really sure it's your son in that car?"

"I'm positive!" She seemed to struggle for a while before continuing. "I'm also willing to pay the cost; what is your estimate of it?"

The man pondered for a while as he mentally calculated before replying, "A conservative estimate should be about one hundred thousand yuan or so."

"A hundred thousand yuan!" The woman was quite dumbfounded by the figure.

"Yup."

Her face turned grimmer for a few moments.

"If the criminals shift the target to another place and we fail to catch them in Yishan Town, the money will go to waste."

She suddenly grabbed his lapel and said coldly, "This has nothing to do with money; a few millions aren't worth even a strand of my son's hair!"

"Chu He, take it easy; calm down."

"My son is missing. How am I supposed to calm down? I'm already calm enough!"

"Then… if you offer to make an inter-provincial arrest at your expense, I can report to the director and have him deploy his men."

"But… there's no way I can come up with that sum."

She gave a self-deprecating smile as she realized now how ironic the system was.

She obviously had a good grasp of her son's whereabouts, yet she was truly powerless to do anything about it.

"We also care about Baby Chu and are worried about his safety, but there's nothing much we can do about this matter. After all, you don't even have a household account here, so the director won't pay attention to this case."

"It's enough." She did not want to hear any more self-justifications. "I'll find a solution on my own."

Deeply disappointed, the policewoman returned to the hospital. As she drew closer to the ward's entrance, she saw Mu Yancheng standing at the door, smoking a cigarette in silence as he leaned against the wall.

She ignored him completely and stepped into the ward. Meng Qingxue immediately inquired nervously when she saw her return. "Did you find any leads?"

She looked at the woman on the bed with a gloomy expression.
