Right now, Luo Fei's expression was utterly indifferent.

Li Jiazhen was also endlessly grateful.

"Mr. Luo, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, who knows how these two would still be treating me. So really, thank you for being willing to stand firmly on my side and support me."

Bang!

Almost at the same time.

A figure had already dropped into the empty seat next to Luo Fei.

"Can I have a couple of drinks too!"

He followed the voice and looked over.

When he saw that the person who'd come was Lin Zimo.

Luo Fei wasn't particularly surprised.

Because he had already communicated with Lin Zimo beforehand.

He also knew she was coming over tonight.

It was just that when he saw that Lin Zimo's expression looked a little off.

Her whole demeanor seemed very awkward.

She even downed three glasses of beer in one go.

Luo Fei also asked, a bit puzzled.

"Lin Zimo, what's wrong with you? How come you look so pale?"

Today, Lin Zimo was wearing a Xiaoxiang-style tweed skirt suit, with big wavy curls framing a fresh, pretty little face.

A pair of shiny black little leather shoes gave her the vibe of a rookie star who'd just debuted.

But because she was angry, right now Lin Zimo's face was puffed up with indignation.

"Don't even bring it up, Mr. Luo."

"Tonight when I got home, I told my parents about wanting Boss Jin to help me find someone to be my agent. But my mom and dad were strongly against it."

So it turned out, Lin Zimo hadn't expected.

That her parents would be adamantly against her and Jin Hongwen getting back on good terms.

This outcome really surprised her.

"I just don't get it. Didn't they both say before that Uncle Jin must be a good person?"

"But now that I want to be friends with Uncle Jin, they won't let me. It's really kind of baffling."

Seeing Lin Zimo looking a bit depressed.

Her face written all over with embarrassment and awkwardness.

Luo Fei, however, comforted her.

"Miss Lin, there's nothing unreasonable about your confusion."

"After all, if your parents weren't hiding something from you, they probably wouldn't act like this at all. So there must be some reason behind how they're behaving."

Luo Fei's analysis made Lin Zimo's beautiful eyes freeze for a second.

The smile on her face practically stiffened completely.

"Mr. Luo, did you already know long ago that my relationship with Jin Hongwen isn't that simple.

That he's not just my parents' friend?"

He could tell she was holding something back, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Everyone else present fell silent.

But Luo Fei said.

"Miss Lin, the police do have that suspicion. But it's only a suspicion. As for what's really going on, you still have to go to Jin Hongwen yourself to verify it."

Yet seeing Luo Fei say it so calmly.

Lin Zimo couldn't help but frown.

"Mr. Luo, I was wondering why you were so patient with me back then, trying to persuade me to forgive Jin Hongwen. Looks like you'd already realized this a long time ago, you just refused to tell me!"

Seeing that Lin Zimo was a bit angry, as if she felt he had betrayed her.

Luo Fei couldn't help but shake his head.

"Lin Zimo, like I said, the police only have this guess. If something isn't one hundred percent confirmed, how could we just hand down a conclusion at will?"

Luo Fei honestly found it a little funny.

He was also a bit helpless at how she was putting it.

But she refused to let it go.

She wouldn't just drop it so easily.

"Well, I don't care. Since you know what's going on, Mr. Luo, you have to help me investigate the truth. If you won't help, then I have every reason to suspect that you and Jin Hongwen are in this together, teaming up to deceive my feelings!"

Hearing Lin Zimo say that, even pouting as she spoke.

Luo Fei could only shake his head, amused.

"Miss Lin, even if you want to accuse someone of fraud, there has to be a specific amount involved. I haven't taken any money from Boss Jin, and I haven't even had a meal with him. On what basis are you judging that I'm deliberately deceiving you?"

Luo Fei's reasoning was airtight.

Not a drop leaked from what he said.

This really made Lin Zimo furious.

She opened her mouth.

But for quite a while, she couldn't squeeze out a word.

When he saw that she'd fallen silent.

Only then did Luo Fei comfort her.

"Miss Lin, actually we at the police have been investigating the case seriously this whole time. We haven't slacked off in the slightest. So if you want to seek the truth, you have to follow the way we work."

"And not act on impulse and go poking around on your own. Otherwise, if you do that, it's no different from alerting the enemy."

Every word Luo Fei said came out solemn and serious.

Though Lin Zimo was a tiny bit unwilling.

She knew.

He wasn't wrong.

She really should have a longer-term perspective, not be short-sighted and reckless.

So Lin Zimo could only take a deep breath and agree.

"Mr. Luo, so what you mean is, if I want to know the truth, I have to actively cooperate with your investigation?"

"What else? You think I'd just let you run around on your own, get noticed by the other side, or even wind up in some accident?"

What Luo Fei said.

Left Lin Zimo a bit stunned.

"Wait, Mr. Luo, if Boss Jin really does have all kinds of ties to me, he should be protecting me, right? How could he possibly hurt me?"

Lin Zimo was genuinely confused now.

But Luo Fei said seriously.

"Miss Lin, how can you be so sure he's protecting you? Maybe he has some other purpose, and you just don't know it."

Luo Fei's words reminded Lin Zimo, making her heart pound wildly, a wave of unease rising up in her.

"If you put it that way, my situation might actually be kind of dangerous?"

Right now, Lin Zimo truly didn't know what she should do.
