Free Web NovelChapter 1062: Chapter 525: Tracing the Roots? Untold Truths
At this moment, Xia Xiyi’s face was deathly pale.
The whole person was utterly terrified out of her wits.
Luo Fei’s expression also turned extremely solemn.
"Miss Xia, we already have a general understanding of the situation. Rest assured, we won’t wrong any innocent person, nor let any wrongdoer go unpunished."
However, though Luo Fei said this,
Xia Xiyi still swallowed hard at this moment.
Her eyes were filled with fear and unease.
Even more so with immense guilt.
"Officer, it’s all my fault. Boohoo!"
"If it weren’t for me, this incident might not have happened. It’s because of me that my classmate died indirectly."
Seeing her face filled with fear and unease,
somewhat at a loss,
Luo Fei spoke very seriously.
"Miss Xia, there’s no need to put all the blame on yourself."
"I also don’t believe it’s your fault."
Luo Fei spoke earnestly, but Xia Xiyi still burst into tears.
Meanwhile, she bit her lip hard.
"Mr. Luo, you really don’t have to defend me."
"After all, I know that if I hadn’t been involved in this case, that Boss Huang wouldn’t have thought up this scheme against me."
"He deliberately poisoned me, attempting to silence me, but didn’t expect it to kill my classmate instead."
Xia Xiyi’s suspicion was indeed reasonable.
How could Luo Fei not know?
However, because Boss Huang was with Luo Fei and others at the time,
he couldn’t directly conclude,
and say that someone intended to frame Xia Xiyi.
"Miss Xia, you should stop saying that. Without evidence, drawing such conclusions will only cause trouble for yourself."
In contrast, Lin Zimo was more concerned about classmates.
Given her previous experience investigating cases with Luo Fei,
she immediately reminded Xia Xiyi.
Such words left Luo Fei noncommittal.
"Lin Zimo is right. There’s no need for you to be agitated, Miss Xia."
"It’s better if we go back to the police station to make a statement."
Just as Luo Fei was about to take Xia Xiyi away,
the school teachers arrived.
"Officer, hello, I am the deputy dean of this school. Beside me is Xia Xiyi’s head teacher. We deeply apologize for this incident. But we also don’t want to make a big deal out of it. So if possible, can we resolve this privately?"
The teacher’s question
was asked with a somewhat embarrassed tone.
All at once, the previously chattering students fell silent.
However, seeing the teacher’s intention was not to escalate the issue, aiming to solve it privately,
Luo Fei coldly looked at her.
"Teacher, what do you mean by that? There’s a death involved, and you want to handle it privately? I just don’t understand, is your school’s enrollment rate more important, or is a human life more important? Can’t you tell the difference?"
At this moment,
Luo Fei was genuinely infuriated.
Looking up, he gazed disdainfully,
his face even wore an amused expression.
The teacher hurriedly explained.
"No, officer, you must not misunderstand. I absolutely didn’t mean that."
"It’s just that this student’s parent is one of our school’s board members. Hearing about his daughter’s incident, he hopes the police can deliver justice."
The teacher’s analysis
made Luo Fei suddenly aware.
It turns out the deceased’s father had donated millions to the school.
Because of this, the school was prepared to offer her a graduate program admission.
Anyway,
a young life experiencing such an incident is distressing and heartbreaking.
Realizing this,
Luo Fei took a deep breath.
"I understand, leave this to me."
Seeing Luo Fei agree,
Lin Zimo was a bit worried.
"Mr. Luo, what will happen to Xia Xiyi? If it’s linked to her or if it’s deemed her fault, the consequences would be unthinkable!"
At this moment, Lin Zimo was genuinely very flustered.
Her forehead was also glistening with a fine layer of sweat.
Noticing Lin Zimo’s concern,
Luo Fei spoke sternly.
"Lin Zimo, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I guarantee no one will easily harm your classmate. She will certainly receive the protection of our police. Are you reassured now?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s somewhat serious expression,
yet his tone was sincere,
Lin Zimo took a deep breath.
"Since Mr. Luo says so, I’ll trust you. But you must guarantee you’ll take good care of my friend."
Seeing Lin Zimo’s vigilance,
she was speaking with a hint of embarrassment,
her eyes shifting around.
Luo Fei asked the school teacher,
"Teacher, shall we go?"
"Alright."
While speaking, Luo Fei followed the school teacher to the office.
"Officer, hello, I am Zhao Hailing’s father, my name is Zhao Zhenming."
Seeing the other party struggling to restrain his anger and grief,
Luo Fei quickly comforted him.
"Sir, we are truly sorry for your daughter’s experience. We deeply sympathize and apologize. I hope you can be strong."
Zhao Zhenming listened, taking a deep breath before asking.
"Mr. Luo, what exactly happened in this case? I’m more interested in how the case occurred."
"I also want to know who could be so vicious to harm her?"
