Free Web NovelChapter 1088: Chapter 538: Close Surveillance! Danger Level!
"I don’t know either."
Previously, Luo Fei only asked Ms. Lin to closely monitor Huang Weiming’s movements.
But he never said to have Ms. Lin assist the police in investigating the case.
Because doing so would be too dangerous.
It might also cause trouble for Ms. Lin.
Yet now, Luo Fei wouldn’t admit it.
Li Yu squinted his eyes, still somewhat suspiciously asking.
"Mr. Luo, just be honest, did you plan all this in advance? You only instructed Ms. Lin to cooperate secretly and had no intention of informing anyone else, including me."
Li Yu was rather curious.
Even somewhat excited.
But Luo Fei was very confident and said.
"Li Yu, I can assure you there’s absolutely nothing like that."
Seeing Luo Fei agree.
He spoke with absolute certainty and conviction.
Li Yu thought of another possibility.
"Is it possible Ms. Lin has been persuaded by Mr. Huang? Maybe she’s truly fallen for him and plans to come over with Mr. Huang to confront us?"
Seeing Li Yu analyze so earnestly.
Luo Fei almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
"Li Yu, I find your imagination so vast. The way you think is really quite different from most people."
Though Luo Fei felt this possibility was low.
Li Yu couldn’t help but pout slightly.
"Mr. Luo, isn’t this a reasonable suspicion?"
"After all, we don’t know much about Ms. Lin. And last time, she met with an accident, perhaps because she’s a love-struck type, easily deceived by that con artist..."
Almost at the same time.
Ms. Lin and Huang Weiming’s car already arrived outside the villa.
Watching them get out and walk briskly over.
Luo Fei began to worry.
If Li Yu’s suspicion turned out to be true, it would be troublesome.
But at that moment, Ms. Lin took a deep breath and, as if after much thought, seriously said.
"Mr. Luo, I just had a chat with Mr. Huang about the banquet incident. He also mentioned that my father was indeed restless during that time. It took a long time before he returned to normal."
"But he doesn’t know the exact reason."
Listening to Ms. Lin’s words.
Luo Fei felt somewhat incredulous.
"Ms. Lin, did you really tell Mr. Huang about the banquet incident?"
Luo Fei was both surprised and unexpected.
Huang Weiming then seriously said.
"Mr. Luo, this is not Ms. Lin’s fault. I noticed she was feeling down, so I had to get to the bottom of it."
It turned out, while having dinner, Huang Weiming noticed.
Ms. Lin beside him was troubled.
She appeared hesitant to speak, merely twirling spaghetti with a fork without taking a bite.
This tugged at Huang Weiming’s heart.
He was genuinely worried.
If she became depressed, his father might blame him for being unfair to her.
"Only after Ms. Lin’s explanation did I realize that Mr. Luo has been closely monitoring my father’s matters and is investigating a case from many years ago."
Huang Weiming’s analysis.
Made Luo Fei realize.
"So Mr. Huang was concerned about this?"
At that moment.
Luo Fei understood that during their date, Ms. Lin was playing hard to get.
She used the bitter strategy to move Huang Weiming.
It deeply touched him and finally determined to assist Luo Fei in the investigation, as it concerned his father’s life.
Until now, Huang Weiming had not realized he was being used by Ms. Lin.
Instead, he very sincerely said.
"Yes, I actually asked my father many times what this matter was about."
"But my father always chose to remain silent, staring at old photo albums, chain-smoking with a troubled expression. This really troubled me."
It turned out, Huang Weiming felt.
Though his father didn’t want him involved, perhaps thinking he couldn’t help.
He couldn’t just stand by.
More importantly, if his father met with misfortune.
He would be heartbroken.
Hence Huang Weiming planned to subtly probe, hoping to find a more suitable countermeasure.
"Including his recent business trip, which made me very anxious. But he said he’d worked diligently for years, and this was a big deal. Besides, if someone intended harm, evading wouldn’t help, so he might as well carry on."
And sensing the other’s intent.
It seemed Mr. Huang was prepared for any consequences.
With a sense of facing death without fear.
Luo Fei fell into deep thought.
But he wasn’t surprised by Huang Weiming’s filial piety.
He hadn’t expected Ms. Lin to have such clever insight, being able to plan ahead.
It allowed Luo Fei to gain indirect insight into whether Huang Weiming knew anything about the case or was involved.
"However, Mr. Huang, although we think your father might be involved in this case."
"We can’t be 100% certain he’s a victim. So we need you to mentally prepare, as some truths and consequences may be difficult to accept immediately."
