Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter
Chapter 941 - 464: Sensing Something Amiss? Self-Preservation (2)
Luo Fei spoke with utmost composure.
This wasn't far-fetched; he had noticed it when he last met the couple.
They seemed to have a good relationship.
With strong feelings.
But in reality, there was a barrier between them.
Hiding a myriad of thoughts but unwilling to admit.
Because micro-expressions and subconscious actions cannot deceive anyone.
This made Su Jianfan gradually realize.
Luo Fei might be right.
"Mr. Luo, according to what you're saying."
"My parents getting divorced was really just a matter of time?"
"Indeed. They had just been disguising it well before, or as you might say, they protected you well. They didn't let you realize their relationship had issues, let alone reach the point of divorce."
Luo Fei didn't hold back, answered candidly.
This made Su Jianfan feel instantly embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, it's still somewhat hard to believe. It makes it difficult for me to process it quickly."
Su Jianfan thinking this was understandable.
Bear in mind.
All along.
He had been living with his father and mother.
So Su Jianfan deeply respects his parents.
And although his father was overly strict.
He hadn't left him with too terrible of an impression.
Let alone the stepmother.
This is why, even though they were not his biological parents.
The relationship between Su Jianfan and them remained strong.
The most crucial reason being the stepmother.
She treated Su Jianfan like her own son.
With meticulous care.
Always showing concern for him warmly.
Yet now, the harmonious parents in his heart revealed cracks.
Moreover, to the point of divorce; naturally, it's hard for Su Jianfan to accept.
"Su Jianfan, you should think openly. After all, you're grown now. You're not a child. You should understand."
"Them deciding to divorce now means they've been enduring for quite a long time before making this choice."
Luo Fei's words made Su Jianfan feel unable to refute.
He had to admit it might be true, just that he was unwilling to face it.
He hadn't missed signs of parental discord.
For example, when they were about to argue, if he was present, they would immediately change the subject.
"Seeing it clearly, perhaps their relationship had problems long ago, yet I kept ignoring the facts of their fractured relationship?"
Looking at Su Jianfan feeling somewhat resigned.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Luo Fei quickly offered comfort.
"Su Jianfan, sometimes realizing the truth early isn't bad. And perhaps, even if they separate, they could coexist peacefully? Maybe their relationship might improve after the divorce."
Almost at the same time.
The car arrived outside the detention center.
Su Jianfan still sighed in resignation.
"I'm not holding much hope for that."
Su Jianfan spoke calmly.
Then he got out of the car.
Li Yu asked worriedly.
"Mr. Luo, do you think Su Jianfan will become depressed over this incident?"
Li Yu was concerned and couldn't help but feel upset, thus was anxious.
Luo Fei simply laughed.
"Li Yu, there's no need to worry about that."
"I believe Su Jianfan is someone with strong mental resilience; this is just a small episode in his life and won't affect him significantly."
Luo Fei spoke with confidence.
Such assurance left Li Yu in admiration.
"Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to have such faith in Su Jianfan."
Luo Fei simply chuckled.
"In my view, this issue is insignificant in the grand scheme."
"Moreover, even if Su Jianfan is distressed, if his parents insist on divorcing, we can't stop them, right?"
Luo Fei's words left Li Yu without a counterargument.
She realized.
Luo Fei was entirely right.
Indeed, Su Jianfan might very well be aware.
His opinions can't sway his parents.
So from the bottom of his heart, he feels deeply powerless.
Meanwhile.
In the detention center.
Seeing Luo Fei arrive.
Wu Zhicheng quickly sought confirmation.
"Mr. Luo, they told me just now that Gu Nan encountered trouble, and Bai the boss is dead? Is this true? Are they not joking?"
Wu Zhicheng was evidently in turmoil at the moment.
And he seemed anxious.
Finding these developments hard to believe.
Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"Boss Wu, you heard correctly."
"Bai Rongjun is indeed no longer alive and from the scene's circumstances, it appears he was murdered."
"So we police are currently investigating this case, hoping to solve it soon and identify the real culprit."
Hearing Luo Fei's analysis.
Wu Zhicheng's heart raced.
He hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Luo, I don't know what you're thinking."
"But I can swear to heaven. This matter has nothing to do with me, and I genuinely didn't know Bai the boss would encounter such a situation. To be honest, I do feel some sympathy for his plight."
Seeing him somewhat anxious and sweating nervously.
Apparently fearing being blamed.
Luo Fei simply shook his head with a smile.
"Boss Wu, I'm not saying this matter is directly linked to you."
"There's no need to be afraid."
"I just intend to ask you some questions, so I hope you'll answer truthfully. Please don't evade or try to minimize."
Upon hearing Luo Fei's request.
With a tone full of expectation.
Wu Zhicheng swallowed hard.
"Mr. Luo, feel free to ask anything you want to say."
"I assure you I'll answer all your questions truthfully. You should be reassured now, right?"
Looking at Wu Zhicheng, somewhat embarrassed.
Feeling a bit awkward.
Apparently fearing blame.
Luo Fei said plainly.
"Wu Zhicheng, there's no need to be overly tense. I only have a few minor questions."
"Especially regarding the details of your relationship with Gu Nan..."
Upon hearing Luo Fei suddenly inquire about this.
Wu Zhicheng surprisingly responded swiftly.
"Mr. Luo, Gu Nan and I have been together for several years. Back then, Bai the boss had already disappeared. So what I did isn't illegal, right?"
"Furthermore. Even if Bai the boss returned, I never considered resorting to murder; simply no necessity for it. I knew the relationship wouldn't last with Gu Nan, but I didn't care."
Wu Zhicheng blurted out these words all at once.
His words, coupled with his dodgy glance.
Allowed Luo Fei and Li Yu to exchange a knowing look.
"Boss Wu, do you truly believe you have no enmity whatsoever towards Bai the boss?"
Detecting the implication in Luo Fei's words.
Wu Zhicheng laughed awkwardly.
"Mr. Luo, I know what you're hinting at, but honestly, I feel sorry for Gu Nan."
"So I try my best to respect her wishes." πππππ°π²π―π»ππππΉ.ππ¨π
"Since previously, Gu Nan told me she harbors no grudges towards Bai the boss, there's no need for violence. Why would I invite unnecessary trouble?"
Wu Zhicheng's small eyes flickered constantly.
Clearly, he's someone who knows when to stop and consider options.
Certainly not one to commit murder over minor disputes.
He prioritizes self-preservation, and despite his affection for Gu Nan, everything is still based on his own best interest.
Once realizing this.
Luo Fei quickly wrapped up the conversation with Wu Zhicheng.
"Mr. Luo, is it over?"
Almost simultaneously.
When Luo Fei swiftly exited the room.
With a calm and indifferent expression.
Li Yu seemed in disbelief.
In her view.
Luo Fei shouldn't be so courteous to Wu Zhicheng, nor readily trust his words.
Yet Luo Fei just shook his head with a smile.
"Li Yu, from Wu Zhicheng's micro-expressions and series of actions, he indeed wasn't lying. He truly seems innocent."
Seeing Luo Fei assert confidently.
He remained composed as he spoke.
Li Yu felt somewhat deflated.
"If that's the case, then aren't our leads cut off?"
