"Madam, may I see your identification?" the police officer asked politely as he approached her.
Ye Qin Ya's face immediately changed.
Why?!
Why was her return so unlucky? First, she was recognized, and now she encountered the police?
Suppressing her displeasure, Ye Qin Ya took out her identification and handed it to the officer.
The officer glanced at her, then at the identification, a look of confusion on his face.
"Madam, please accompany us to the police station," the officer said.
"Why?!" Ye Qin Ya shrieked, "Did I do something wrong? Why do you need me to go to the police station?"
The officer explained, "It's like this, you bear a strong resemblance to a missing person in a case. We just need to take you back to gather some information..."
A missing person case?
Ye Qin Ya's heart skipped a beat. Was this a missing person report filed by Ou Ming Han, looking for her?
Ou Ming Han lost her, and now he realized how important she was? Too late! She wasn't the same person anymore!
She wanted to see if Ou Ming Han would regret it when he faced her now!
"Alright, I'll go with you!" Ye Qin Ya got into the car.

Ye Zhi, who was busy shopping, suddenly received a call from the police station.
She had initially reported Ye Qin Ya missing. Furthermore, she had used her connections to familiarize major airports with Ye Qin Ya's face, so anyone resembling Ye Qin Ya could be reported directly.
Therefore, after finding her, the police notified her, the one who reported the missing person, first.
She answered the phone, asking in surprise, "Ye Qin Ya has been found? And she appeared at the airport voluntarily?"
Ye Zhi was genuinely surprised. According to the original plot, Ye Qin Ya wouldn't return to the country until at least four years later.
But now, after only four months, Ye Qin Ya was back?
Her expression instantly became more serious. Although she had pushed Ou Ming Han to a dead end, Ye Qin Ya's return at this time could bring about unforeseen variables.
"Yes, we checked her fingerprints, and she is indeed Ye Qin Ya. However, it's strange, she used the identity of a citizen of Country K, named Cen Ya. She forged her identity, so we've temporarily detained her to investigate the situation," the officer said.
Ye Qin Ya changed her identity?
Ye Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then what did she say?"
"She explained that she is not the biological daughter of the Ye family and that she found her biological parents while traveling in Country K. Her father is even a Duke in Country K. This is a significant matter, and we are currently contacting the embassy to verify the situation..."
Ye Zhi's head buzzed. Ye Qin Ya wasn't the Ye family's biological daughter?
Even if that were the case, she was the daughter of a Duke from Country K? No wonder someone could take Ye Qin Ya from the royal hospital in Country K and hide her for so long without being found. It turned out that the person who hid Ye Qin Ya had an extraordinary identity and was very close to Ye Qin Ya, which was why they did such a thing.
This truly lived up to the reputation of being a melodrama filled with plot twists! Thinking about it, it would be strange if the female protagonist didn't have a bizarre background! Ye Zhi even felt a little relieved that Ye Qin Ya was only the daughter of a Duke. If she were the daughter of the King of Country K, it would be even more troublesome!
Despite her musings, Ye Zhi now personally experienced the power of plot convenience. Her heart immediately became alert.
Although the situation was going very well, Ye Qin Ya had returned with a cheat, and she was even the daughter of a Duke. No one knew how the situation might change.
After thanking the police and hanging up, Ye Zhi immediately called Qi Xuan.
"Qi Xuan," Ye Zhi said sternly, "Can you help me investigate a Duke from Country K with the surname Cen... their family should have recently found a daughter."
"Okay, I'll look into it for you now," Qi Xuan agreed.
Soon, Qi Xuan called Ye Zhi back.
"There is indeed a Duke with the surname Cen in Country K. His ancestors fled to Country K during a period of war. The Cen family had previously participated in the struggle for the throne, backing one of the princes and providing substantial financial support to that prince.
When that prince inherited the throne, becoming the current King, he granted the Cen family a ducal title. However, in Country K, this title is merely an honorary award with no real power.
The Cen family was not satisfied. Later, they invested in the former Prime Minister. However, the former Prime Minister fell from power a while ago, and the Cen family was also implicated, falling under the King's suspicion. Many of the Cen family's industries suffered heavy losses and were repossessed by the royal family under the King's pretext.
It is said that the Cen family is having a difficult time and is considering developing their business in our country."
After listening to Qi Xuan, Ye Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Combining this information, she made a reasonable inference.
It seemed that the Cen family, having been caught up in power struggles, could no longer stay in Country K and intended to expand their business domestically.
Ye Qin Ya's return to the country this time was likely at her own request, and she was even paving the way for the Cen family.
Presumably, in the original plot, because the incident at the royal hospital didn't occur, the King of Country K endured the Prime Minister for a few more years, but eventually, a power struggle broke out. The Cen family, being involved, could only plan to leave Country K and seek opportunities elsewhere.
Although the timeline had been shortened, the events that were supposed to happen still occurred.
However, this also meant that Ye Qin Ya's threat level had significantly decreased.
With everything clarified, Ye Zhi immediately got up, preparing to go to the police station.
The police would surely inform her parents about Ye Qin Ya's return, and the Ye family would definitely go to pick up Ye Qin Ya.
However, Ye Zhi was still unsure of Ye Qin Ya's attitude and did not rule out the possibility that Ye Qin Ya might harm them, so she had to go.
Inside the police station, Ye Qin Ya appeared dejected.
She murmured unhappily, "Why was it the Ye family who reported me missing... why wasn't it him... does he not care about me that much..."
After a period of internal struggle, Ye Qin Ya bit her lip fiercely. She looked up and said, "Please help me contact someone and tell him that I've been found!"
"Who do you want to contact?" the police officer asked.
Ye Qin Ya took a deep breath and gave Ou Ming Han's number.
"What's your relationship?" the officer casually asked.
"He's my... my friend..." Ye Qin Ya said guiltily.
The police officer quickly dialed Ou Ming Han's number. Ou Ming Han was currently in the hospital, having appeased Ou Tian Tian and promised to go abroad with her.
Seeing his phone ring, he impatiently answered, "Who? The police? I haven't committed any crimes, why are you calling me? My friend has been found? What does that have to do with me? Who did you say? Ye Qin Ya?"
Upon hearing the name, Ou Ming Han let out a cold laugh. "Tell her that even if she dies, there's no need to inform me!"
With that, Ou Ming Han hung up the phone. Before, he kept Ye Qin Ya around to exchange for Ou Tian Tian's heart, to make Ou Tian Tian willingly give him money.
Now that Ou Tian Tian was very willing to give him money, why would he care about Ye Qin Ya's life or death?
