Free Web NovelChapter 1078: Chapter 533: Unsettled and Suddenly Uneasy
At this moment, Huang Weiming was also a bit at a loss.
He asked, somewhat anxiously.
"Mr. Luo, if you put it that way, does that mean some enemy is coming after me?"
As Huang Weiming spoke,
his face went deathly pale.
As if he was terrified that something might happen to him.
But this display made Li Yu burst out laughing.
"Mr. Huang, just now you were acting like you feared neither heaven nor earth. How come you’ve suddenly lost your nerve?"
Seeing that Li Yu was a bit disdainful,
he couldn’t help sneering as well.
Huang Weiming could only give a helpless smile.
"Officer, that’s not quite fair. After all, when you’re always walking by the riverside, how can you be sure your shoes will never get wet?"
"I do business on a large scale, and who can guarantee I’ve never offended some treacherous scoundrel? Maybe he took advantage of my not knowing and slipped into my home? That’s not impossible, is it?"
But Huang Weiming’s face was full of awkward smiles.
Luo Fei, standing to the side, spoke sternly.
"Mr. Huang, if I were you, I’d tell the truth, plain and simple. Who exactly have you provoked to make them this furious—furious enough to want you dead?"
At that moment,
Luo Fei’s face hardened, his expression extremely serious.
Huang Weiming could only take a deep breath
and explain patiently.
"Mr. Luo, do we even need to ask? Isn’t the situation already obvious?"
"I just had a fight with Zhong Yuelin, and now someone’s poisoned people at my home. For all we know, she might have ordered someone to do it."
But as he spoke, Huang Weiming seemed a bit depressed.
Li Yu, however, said gravely from the side,
"Mr. Huang, you can talk nonsense over a meal, but not about this. Do you realize how serious an accusation you’re making?"
Seeing Li Yu raise his eyebrows, clearly not inclined to believe him,
Huang Weiming replied with utmost seriousness,
"Mr. Luo, I can swear to the heavens that everything I’ve said is true. I’m absolutely not making anything up on purpose."
"Besides, I never said I was a hundred percent sure, that it had to be her..."
Huang Weiming spoke with some embarrassment,
his eyes dimming.
He looked rather at a loss.
Luo Fei suddenly spoke up.
"Boss Huang is right."
"Since it’s uncertain, we can’t jump to conclusions. But it is indeed a worthwhile line of inquiry."
After a while,
once Boss Huang had been escorted off to give a statement,
Luo Fei quickly headed to the hospital.
But as soon as he reached Zhong Yuelin’s ward,
he heard crying from inside.
When he stepped into the room, he saw Zhong Yuelin sitting there with her hand to her forehead, her face full of disbelief.
"You can go now. I don’t want to talk to you. Sometimes adult matters can’t be explained in just a few words. You’re still a child; if you don’t understand, I won’t blame you."
Almost at the same time, Luo Fei had already entered the room.
He asked, somewhat surprised,
"Miss Zhong, what happened?"
Seeing Luo Fei had come to see her,
Zhong Yuelin felt rather embarrassed.
"Sorry, Mr. Luo, for letting you see me like this."
She wiped away her tears,
and Luo Fei said gravely,
"Miss Zhong, just now an incident occurred at Mr. Huang’s home. His girlfriend had an accident. So we have reason to suspect that someone is trying to harm him, and that’s why they did this."
This explanation made Zhong Yuelin instantly grasp his intention.
"Mr. Luo, if I’m not mistaken, what you’re trying to say is—you suspect I deliberately went after him?"
Her tone was faint,
her face full of incredulity.
Luo Fei had to hastily clarify,
"Not at all, Miss Zhong. I just want to ask you some questions about the details of your relationship with Boss Huang."
"And also, do you know of any other enemies he has—people he’s really on bad terms with?"
There was a trace of suspicion in his tone as he asked,
but Zhong Yuelin only gave a cold laugh.
"Officer, you don’t need to say anything. I know what you mean. You think this case has something to do with me. Because I’ve had a falling out with that Huang, so if someone’s out to get him, it’s probably related to me, right?"
At this moment,
Zhong Yuelin was on the verge of breaking down.
She felt unbearably wronged.
"I really didn’t expect this. It’s one thing for others not to believe me. But my own daughter doesn’t believe me, and now even you, Mr. Luo, don’t believe me?"
"If that’s how it is, you might as well just arrest me now and pin this whole thing on me!"
Zhong Yuelin found it all absurd,
her heart filled with disillusionment.
But it was precisely this reaction that finally made Luo Fei understand.
No wonder she’d seemed so dejected just now.
"Miss Zhong, did you have a fight with your daughter?"
At the same time,
Luo Fei’s tone softened. He put down his notebook and recorder,
and sat at the edge of the bed.
This gesture was more than she could bear.
"Mr. Luo, just this morning, my mother actually had someone bring my daughter to the hospital to see me. She told her to say I should let go of my grudges and forgive that Huang."
"What’s worse, my daughter completely believed my mother. She also thinks I should do that."
As she spoke, Zhong Yuelin sounded helpless.
Luo Fei finally understood why she was so upset.
It turned out she never imagined her daughter would side with her father.
This behavior was beyond her comprehension.
She felt her daughter was betraying her.
