Free Web NovelChapter 1063: Chapter 525: Tracing the Roots? Secrets Unveiled_2
While they were talking.
Zhao Zhenming’s gaze had already fallen on Xia Xiyi beside him.
And saw that she was looking back at him coldly.
Her face was full of bafflement.
Luo Fei also spoke.
"Mr. Zhao, if our police assessment is correct, then someone was actually trying to harm Xia Xiyi. They never expected that your daughter would drink her water instead. That’s what led to her poisoning. So..."
At that moment.
Zhao Zhenming’s face had gone deathly pale.
His shoulders wouldn’t stop trembling.
"So what you mean is, my daughter was killed by mistake?"
"Someone wanted to frame someone else, but my daughter happened to drink the other person’s water, so she ended up like this?!"
At this moment.
Zhao Zhenming was truly full of doubt.
His face was written all over with disbelief.
But Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied it.
"Mr. Zhao, you’re not wrong. If we haven’t guessed wrong, that’s roughly how it is. Of course, we also can’t rule out the possibility that someone had a grudge against your daughter and deliberately wanted to hurt her."
Luo Fei chose his words cautiously.
After all, at a time like this, if he spoke in absolute terms, it could lead to very serious consequences.
But just then.
Lin Zimo couldn’t help speaking up.
"Mr. Luo, actually I know Miss Zhao. We’ve chatted before. I also suspect she might have provoked someone herself, which could have led to this outcome."
But as Lin Zimo spoke, she pressed her lips together.
Her face was full of firmness and resolve.
Yet right now, Luo Fei couldn’t help having doubts.
"Miss Lin, are you sure you know what you’re saying?"
Luo Fei’s tone was low.
His face was full of skepticism.
But Lin Zimo simply held her ground.
"Officer, I can guarantee you I’m telling the truth. I’m not lying."
"Enough!"
Before Lin Zimo could finish.
Zhao Zhenming had already spoken in a low voice.
"Young lady, you’d better be responsible for what you say. Back when my daughter was at home, she was very well-behaved. Very obedient."
"So if what you’re saying is a deliberate slander against her, I absolutely will not let you off lightly!"
Zhao Zhenming spoke gravely.
His face was heavy.
Lin Zimo just raised her eyebrows.
"What, you’re trying to threaten me now?"
"Sir, what happened to your daughter is indeed saddening. But I’m not about to tell blatant lies for someone I’ve only known a few days. I’ve seen your daughter in the bar plenty of times. Previously she even went out to fight with some guys and beat a high school girl into the hospital. The girl’s corpus luteum ruptured, and she’s still lying in a hospital bed right now. Do you know any of this?"
Hearing this.
Zhao Zhenming’s eyes widened.
"That’s impossible, right? Is that true?"
Lin Zimo let out a cold laugh.
"Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can go check the hospital’s medical case file."
"As for your daughter, the reputation of Miss Zhao the campus princess is famous far and wide. Around the university town here, there’s no one at the neighboring schools who doesn’t know about this..."
As Zhao Zhenming turned to look at the teacher from the school standing to the side.
The other man, embarrassed, had to admit it.
"President Zhao, this is a long story..."
But seeing the teacher’s face full of awkwardness.
Zhao Zhenming already had his answer.
There was no doubt.
He had donated money to the school, originally hoping his daughter would receive more care from classmates.
And be able to better blend in with the other students.
But he never imagined.
His good intentions would end in a result like this.
"It’s all my fault. I ruined my daughter."
At that moment.
The boss Zhao was filled with anguish, holding his head in his hands, wracked with remorse.
Because he knew deep down.
His daughter had actually been excellent before.
She’d just had a bit of a temper.
If he hadn’t provided her with an overly relaxed and comfortable environment at university.
Then she might never have ended up with today’s fate.
Thinking along those lines.
The boss Zhao felt even more depressed.
Seeing Mr. Zhao shut down, his face a picture of despair.
Luo Fei still tried to comfort him.
"Mr. Zhao, we deeply sympathize with what you’re going through, but our police won’t close this case hastily. We will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Luo Fei’s tone was low.
His face showed firm resolve.
Seeing how serious he was.
Zhao Zhenming spoke solemnly.
"Old Lin!"
Old Lin was the counselor of Zhao Hailing’s daughter.
At this, he jolted and quickly stood up straight.
"President Zhao, what can I do for you?"
"My daughter’s matter was indeed an accident. I’m not looking to pursue it too hard. But you people at the school must investigate this thoroughly internally. And everyone has to actively cooperate with Mr. Luo. There can’t be the slightest negligence."
As Zhao Zhenming spoke, his tone was very stern.
The counselor of course understood what he meant.
So he agreed at once.
"Please rest assured, President Zhao, I’ll take full responsibility for this."
"Mr. Luo, if there’s anything you want to know next, you can ask us. Our school will definitely actively cooperate with the police."
But seeing the other man’s face tight with nerves.
Clearly afraid that Zhao Zhenming might take legal action, sue the school, and demand compensation for emotional damages.
Luo Fei just gave a faint smile.
"Mr. Lin, what we want to know is actually exactly what Mr. Zhao wants to know: where is the girl who was hurt by Miss Zhao? Has she received any compensation or慰问?"
"Also, does she still hold a grudge against Miss Zhao?"
In Luo Fei’s view.
This situation wasn’t simple.
No wonder Lin Zimo had called him over.
Because this was not just a straightforward poisoning and murder case.
It was far more complicated.
There could be quite a few people who might want someone dead.
Since Zhao Hailing had behaved like this at school.
It was easy to imagine what she might be like outside school.
So right now.
Luo Fei took a deep breath.
"Mr. Lin, we may need to trouble you next. Our police need to get a list of everyone who might have wanted to harm Miss Zhao Hailing and go through them one by one. So I’ll go with Li Yu to find that high school girl now."
"As for compiling the list, I’ll leave that to you. Later, please send that list to our police email. Thank you."
Then Luo Fei handed a business card to Teacher Lin, who quickly agreed.
"Officer, don’t worry, I’ll take full responsibility for this."
But while the two of them were talking.
Zhao Zhenming stood up and made a suggestion.
"Mr. Luo, how about I go with you this time? After all, my family was in the wrong first. I should formally apologize to the other party. And I really do need to pay some of her medical expenses."
Seeing how firm his attitude and tone were.
Yet underneath, there was clear exhaustion.
Even though his daughter’s death had left him in unbearable grief.
He still had to find a way to make amends for the wrongs his daughter had committed.
Luo Fei gave another faint smile.
"All right."
Seeing him agree so readily.
Li Yu on the side couldn’t help feeling worried.
"Mr. Luo, are you sure this is okay?"
At that moment.
Li Yu really was full of doubts.
She didn’t dare easily trust a stranger.
If Mr. Zhao lost control when he saw the girl.
And insisted that it was the girl who had killed his daughter.
The consequences were obvious.
But even sensing her concerns.
Luo Fei remained calm and composed.
"Li Yu, you don’t have to worry about that."
"With me there, I think Mr. Zhao will stay within bounds. He won’t do anything out of line."
Even though Luo Fei was speaking earnestly.
His tone clearly serious.
Li Yu was still somewhat skeptical.
But outwardly, she kept her expression neutral.
A moment later.
When Luo Fei and the others reached the third floor of the inpatient department at Changli City First People’s Hospital.
They saw.
A girl was sitting in the room.
Beside her, a middle-aged woman was feeding her.
This scene left Zhao Zhenming with a jumble of conflicting feelings.
