Free Web NovelChapter 1097: Chapter 542: Deliberate Concealment? Hesitating to Speak (Part 2)
Seeing Luo Fei was somewhat unexpected.
Mrs. Song also smiled and shook her head.
"Actually, I also thought about keeping the secret to myself, living alone with it. But later I realized, if I keep hiding it, it doesn’t seem like a good idea."
But Mrs. Song seemed hesitant to speak.
Luo Fei countered.
"Mrs. Song, you’ve actually long wanted to separate from Mr. Zheng, haven’t you?"
"It’s just that you’ve been indecisive, or more accurately, waiting for a more suitable moment, right?"
Song Yulan listened but did not directly respond; she just smiled.
"Mr. Luo, it’s late today. I have already told you all the clues I know."
"If there’s nothing else, you might as well go back and rest early."
Seeing Song Yulan nodding.
Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"Good night, Sister Song. But during this period, I hope you can stay in town and be extra cautious. Otherwise, you might draw unnecessary trouble."
Luo Fei’s tone hesitated slightly.
Song Yulan also understood the intention behind his words.
She nodded repeatedly.
"Rest assured, Mr. Luo, I understand your meaning."
Just as Song Yulan left the restaurant.
Luo Fei immediately took out the recorder from his bag.
And sent this recording out.
It wasn’t long.
Su Jianfan’s voice came from the other end of the call.
"Mr. Luo, did Aunt Song really say this herself?"
At this moment.
Su Jianfan’s voice was full of disbelief, almost doubting his ears.
Luo Fei just smiled and shook his head.
"Su Jianfan, what reason would I have to deceive you? Isn’t this obviously the case?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s retort.
Su Jianfan swallowed hard.
His emotions were quite mixed.
Because he realized that Song Yulan intentionally waited until he was with Lin Zimo, and had gained a certain degree of acceptance from Zheng Guorong, before proposing divorce.
What she wanted was this appropriate timing.
"Su Jianfan, if I were you, I’d pull myself together quickly. After all, this matter is not as simple as it appears. It’s more like pulling one thread and the whole fabric moves."
Luo Fei’s reminder made Su Jianfan’s heart almost instantly tense up.
He also remained noncommittal.
"Mr. Luo is right."
Su Jianfan was well aware, for people like Song Yulan and Zheng Guorong.
Interests are always the first priority.
They were together for interests.
If they split, it’s mostly because the distribution of interests is unbalanced, which is why they have to take this step.
So at this moment, Su Jianfan also took a deep breath.
He was somewhat hesitant to speak.
On the contrary, Lin Zimo hesitantly asked.
"Mr. Luo, if this matter has almost concluded, doesn’t it mean Su Jianfan and I no longer need to keep pretending?"
Upon hearing this question from the other party.
Her tone was evidently a bit reluctant.
Luo Fei also chuckled.
"Lin Zimo, I know what you want to say. But at the moment, Song Yulan is indeed calm about this matter. However, it’s best for us to wait and continue observing for a while. Plus, I estimate Zheng Guorong doesn’t know about this yet. Otherwise, he would have called directly."
"So, Miss Lin might have to endure a bit longer until our police investigation progresses further."
After hearing Luo Fei’s words, Su Jianfan’s mouth twitched.
Because he couldn’t understand why pretending to be a couple with Lin Zimo was her enduring him.
Clearly, he was the one putting in the most effort.
Not to mention, every time they went shopping.
Lin Zimo always made Su Jianfan act as her shopping assistant.
Responsible for carrying things for her.
And the most interesting part was.
Every time, she asked Su Jianfan which clothes would look good on Mr. Luo.
If he were to choose, which one he would pick.
But every time, Lin Zimo’s choice was completely opposite of Su Jianfan’s suggestion.
And just then, after hearing Luo Fei’s words.
Lin Zimo felt a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, you’re exaggerating. Besides, if I were to say, it’s me who has always been taken care of by Mr. Su. He is good-natured, always tolerating me. So I’m the one who should be grateful."
Seeing Lin Zimo speak seriously like this.
Her tone was a bit embarrassed.
And she started to sweat.
Su Jianfan was somewhat surprised.
"I didn’t expect Miss Lin to be so aware of her own bad habits."
But Su Jianfan seemed a bit taken aback.
Surprised at her admitting fault proactively.
Lin Zimo just pouted.
"Mr. Su, that’s where you’re wrong. A lot of things I did before were deliberate."
"If I had explained my purpose to you beforehand, wouldn’t you have acted fake? That would make it easier for others to spot the flaw."
Though Lin Zimo was explaining her caprice.
Su Jianfan didn’t mind much.
After all, given the current situation, the investigation is the priority.
Almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei announced some slightly startling news.
"Everyone, I must tell you some bad news."
Luo Fei’s tone was serious, his expression heavy.
This made Li Yu beside him a bit nervous.
At this moment, Lin Zimo was curious and asked.
"Mr. Luo, if you know something, please go ahead."
Seeing Lin Zimo ask seriously.
Luo Fei chuckled awkwardly.
"It’s like this, just now I noticed. Among Zhao Ligang’s numerous contacts and those he’s had cash transactions with, Jin Hongwen is also on the list."
After hearing Luo Fei’s reminder.
Lin Zimo instantly held her breath.
Because she remembered the last time Zheng Guorong met her parents.
Happened after she did all sorts of work on them.
That time, Lin Zimo felt like walking on thin ice and worried greatly about what might happen if she were to be exposed.
And this time.
Jin Hongwen inevitably got drawn into the case.
So perhaps, Zheng Guorong already knew about her relationship with Jin Hongwen but chose not to reveal it.
"Mr. Luo, so you’re saying that Zheng Guorong agreed to my marriage with Su Jianfan possibly to test Jin Hongwen?"
"It’s possible."
Luo Fei’s confirmation left Lin Zimo increasingly upset.
Since their last meeting.
Jin Hongwen and Lin Zimo have been in a cold war, with neither speaking to the other.
Even Lin Zimo herself is worried.
If Jin Hongwen decides to part ways as a result, how would she cope? Completely estranged?
Though she sympathizes for him and can’t understand his actions.
Lin Zimo doesn’t want to seem like a bad person because of this.
"Lin Zimo, if you’re not willing, I’m not forcing you to contact Jin Hongwen. But we genuinely need informants... so if possible, could you help us?"
What Luo Fei meant by help naturally involved Lin Zimo somehow probing for information.
But given Lin Zimo and Jin Hongwen’s cold war, if she suddenly changed her attitude.
The consequences are foreseeable.
So Lin Zimo said at this moment.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Luo, I’ve got this covered."
Just seeing Lin Zimo seemingly having a plan, Su Jianfan beside her almost cried.
"Lin Zimo, what trick are you thinking of now?"
"Stop complaining, this is about helping Mr. Luo’s assignment. A little hardship won’t hurt you. Or are you saying you don’t want to help Mr. Luo at all?"
