Chapter 993: Chapter 490: Investigation Overt and Covert? So Much Chaos in This Circle! (2)

Luo Fei wasn’t angry; he just smiled and shook his head.

"Su Jianfan, I understand what you mean."

"But on closer inspection, perhaps this isn’t your fault."

Luo Fei suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice.

Causing Su Jianfan to be somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Luo, do you really think so?"

"Of course. The conflict between Vice Minister Zheng and your mother may have existed a long time ago; he just turned a blind eye to it."

"Besides, if it was in the past, Old Zheng could easily vent his anger on you. But now that you’re with me and have solved many cases, he can’t just lose his temper anymore, so naturally, he’s a bit unaccustomed."

Luo Fei’s explanation.

Made Su Jianfan think he had heard it wrong.

"Mr. Luo, you mean, Old Zheng actually wants to say even harsher words. But considering that I’m now your subordinate, he held back?"

"Exactly. He probably also fears that if the time comes, you will ask me to step in and back you up, which would be even more awkward for him."

Luo Fei’s analysis made Su Jianfan’s mouth twitch a little.

"So after all this time, that’s what’s going on?"

At this moment.

Su Jianfan finally understood.

It turns out the old father is apprehensive, not of him, but of Luo Fei.

But seeing him a bit dejected.

Seeming to want to say something but holding back.

Luo Fei still smiled and consoled him.

"Think openly; at least this shows that his attitude towards you has significantly changed. This is quite remarkable. It’s also far better than before when he only belittled you, always viewing you with an old mindset, isn’t it?"

Luo Fei’s reminder.

Let Su Jianfan breathe a sigh of relief.

Almost simultaneously.

The two former mistresses of Zhao Ligang had already arrived.

"Mr. Luo, Liang Meizhi, and Lin Xiuxiu are in different offices. I think we should split into two groups to interview them?"

Hearing Su Jianfan’s suggestion.

He was now quite adept at Luo Fei’s work.

Luo Fei was also very pleased, nodding.

"Alright. You interrogate Lin Xiuxiu. I’ll go interview Liang Meizhi."

As they split into groups, ready to work together.

Luo Fei entered the room where Liang Meizhi was.

Only, upon seeing the woman in front of him, completely different in appearance.

With short yellow hair and wearing a leopard print top.

Luo Fei became even more curious.

How his team managed to find her.

After all, it’s important to know.

This woman looks completely different from ten years ago.

"Are you Liang Meizhi?"

Hearing Luo Fei’s question.

The other party merely nodded.

"Mr. Luo, that’s right, it’s me."

Hearing her confirmation.

Luo Fei repeatedly nodded.

"Liang Meizhi, you should already know why we’ve called you here this time, right?"

Luo Fei didn’t beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

And Liang Meizhi merely nodded.

"Mr. Luo, I understand your point."

"But back then, my godfather treated me very well, and I always regarded him as my biological father. After all, I lacked fatherly love growing up."

"So even later, knowing he had an affair, I didn’t hate him."

...

However, such shocking words from the other party left Luo Fei momentarily silent.

"Liang Meizhi, do you know what you’re saying?"

Luo Fei truly didn’t expect.

The other party’s worldview to be so explosive.

It almost left him speechless.

But Liang Meizhi was very calm.

"Mr. Luo, I know you might think it’s unbelievable or even suspect I have some mental disorder to say such things. But only my godfather and I know."

"We went through a lot together. During his career peak, I quietly stayed by his side. Even later, I introduced several girlfriends to him."

These words.

Made Luo Fei simply unable to believe it.

At this moment.

He finally understood.

Why Liang Meizhi was so calm.

And following this, after learning more about how Liang Meizhi and Zhao Ligang supported each other through thick and thin.

Luo Fei gradually realized.

The other party wasn’t lying.

She truly didn’t seem to be the kind to deliberately frame Zhao Ligang.

It’s just because she wasn’t young anymore, having changed from an eighteen-year-old girl to a nearly forty-year-old woman, that when she recalled those days, she seemed shy, even somewhat experiencing a burgeoning romance.

It was only then that Luo Fei felt a bit awkward.

So he took a different approach.

Changing his line of questioning.

"Ms. Liang, if you know most of Zhao Ligang’s women, you probably know Jiang Wanzhen, right?"

"Oh, her~ haha, how could I not know? An old acquaintance."

However, originally.

Liang Meizhi had a nostalgic, even somewhat inexperienced demeanor.

But upon hearing this name.

Her expression immediately changed to one of disdain.

This piqued Luo Fei’s strong curiosity.

"Miss Liang, from the way you speak, you seem to know her?"

Seeing that Luo Fei seemed a bit puzzled.

And not understanding why his facial expressions suddenly slipped.

Liang Meizhi patiently explained.

"Mr. Luo, I’m telling you, this woman is just a green tea. When she was dating my godfather, she actually wanted to claim she was pregnant and try to dig for his fortune, hoping to inherit everything."

"But luckily my godfather was smart. Even the house she lived in his name."

"So no matter how much trouble she caused later, my godfather never gave in to her, nor did he give her any opportunity to cause messes."

Hearing the implications in Liang Meizhi’s words.

Luo Fei nodded.

"I understand, Miss Liang. And I really appreciate you being willing to provide these clues."

But seeing Luo Fei’s serious expression.

Liang Meizhi hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Luo, I’m willing to provide clues, but I really know nothing about her disappearance. So please don’t just pin any crime on me."

Noticing the change in Liang Meizhi’s expression.

Luo Fei smiled and asked.

"Ms. Liang, what makes you think I’m going to ask you about her disappearance?"

"Isn’t it obvious? After all, she dated my godfather, and later claimed she wanted to start a business with a friend, and ended up getting a thirty-thousand-dollar breakup fee from him before disappearing without a trace."

"So in a way, this woman is quite skilled at vanishing. After all, she knew while being with my godfather, she’d often play tricks to get whatever she wanted from him. So even when he later liked someone else and wasn’t as nice to her, she didn’t dare to propose breaking up or ask for any breakup fee."

In Luo Fei’s opinion.

Breakup fees aren’t legally protected.

This could even amount to a crime.

Considered a form of extortion.

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that she was pregnant then, and later had the child? In that case, your godfather still has to take responsibility for the child, right?"

But upon hearing Luo Fei’s inquiry.

Liang Meizhi sneered.

"Mr. Luo, you might not know. This person tried to get breakup fees, but it didn’t work out. She even attempted to sue my godfather. But all her supposed good friends sided with my godfather. Naturally, they wouldn’t help her."

"In the end, my godfather felt sorry for her, so he gave her a sum as living expenses for the child. But my godfather required a paternity test once the child was born. Yet the woman outright refused, claiming she lived a clean life and didn’t cheat."

"Not long after, she disappeared off the face of the earth. I guess she went to deal with the child or attempted a paternity test, only to find it didn’t match, the child belonged to someone else. Feeling guilty, she probably took the money and ran. But since then, I’ve truly never seen her again."

...

Even though Liang Meizhi didn’t provide much useful information.

However, in Luo Fei’s view.

This was already enough.

He could completely use these clues to conduct a deeper investigation.
