Chapter 951: Chapter 469: Mixed Emotions? Estranged Couple (Part 2)

Luo Fei had just finished speaking.

His phone rang.

"Mr. Luo, I’ve been shopping with Su Jianfan for half the day. My legs are sore. Can we stop acting for now?"

On the other end of the line.

Came Lin Zimo’s slightly frail voice.

Luo Fei chuckled too.

"Lin Zimo, your acting is so realistic, you almost fooled me just now."

It was clear from Luo Fei’s tone that he was being somewhat complimentary.

Lin Zimo pouted slightly.

A bit embarrassed as well.

"Mr. Luo, I just didn’t want to get exposed, so I had to be more committed."

"I just don’t know, was my acting effective just now?"

"Did Auntie Song believe me completely?"

It seemed Lin Zimo was afraid her acting wasn’t convincing.

Her heart was probably pounding like crazy.

Luo Fei, however, comforted her with a smile.

"Lin Zimo, I must say, your acting was really convincing just now."

"Auntie Song almost believed you."

"What? She saw through my acting? Doesn’t that mean all our efforts were in vain?"

Lin Zimo glanced at Su Jianfan not far behind her.

He was carrying bags of gifts, all purchased by Lin Zimo for Song Yulan and Zheng Guorong as meeting gifts.

Noticing Lin Zimo’s disappointment.

Afraid she was let down.

Luo Fei quickly reassured her.

"Miss Lin, don’t be disheartened. Even though your acting wasn’t perfect and Auntie Song saw through it, Su Jianfan did well. Auntie Song thinks he’s completely fallen for you, even hopelessly."

"Su Jianfan, completely fallen for me? What a joke!"

Lin Zimo was genuinely caught between laughter and tears.

Even though the process was not as she imagined.

The result was still decent.

"So, Mr. Luo, should we continue with the original plan?"

"Or should I change my tactics and try to make Auntie Song believe I’ve completely fallen for Su Jianfan?"

Hearing Lin Zimo ask this.

Luo Fei quickly explained.

"No need, Lin Zimo, just follow the original plan step by step. The more you pretend to be interested in Su Jianfan, the more Auntie Song will feel sorry for her son."

"She’ll become more suspicious of whether you have other motives. This will greatly benefit our ongoing case investigation."

"Oh, I understand. Mr. Luo, I’ll follow your lead. I’ll go give Auntie Song the gifts with Su Jianfan a little later."

Lin Zimo was somewhat excited.

But Luo Fei said.

"Don’t be in such a hurry. Let Su Jianfan take the gifts home later. Otherwise, if you act too eager, won’t it be obvious you’re trying too hard?"

"Oh right, how did I forget that..."

Upon realizing this, Lin Zimo quickly thanked Luo Fei.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo."

"Thank me? For what?"

Luo Fei was puzzled by her sudden thanks.

Lin Zimo quickly explained.

"Mr. Luo, don’t get me wrong, I meant nothing else. I just wanted to thank you for helping me investigate the relationship between Jin Hongwen and me. Without your help, it would have been difficult for me to investigate alone."

"Miss Lin, sometimes it’s better not to know the truth, as it can be harsh and even unbearable."

Luo Fei’s reminder warmed Lin Zimo’s heart.

But she insisted.

"We’ve come this far, I won’t stop investigating. I’m already an adult and about to start working. If I continue to be entangled with Jin Hongwen, it’ll be trouble if I enter the film industry and get caught up in scandalous news."

"So I’d rather face any painful truth myself than let Jin Hongwen be a burden or a soft spot for others to attack me with in the future."

After hearing Lin Zimo’s explanation.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Alright, Miss Lin, I’ll leave Su Jianfan to you then."

"Li Yu and I need to investigate another case."

As he hung up the phone.

Luo Fei and his companion had returned to the Major Crimes Unit.

But just as they entered the hall.

Luo Fei saw Old Han covering his jaw.

Looking frustrated, he was giving orders to the officers beside him.

"Take this guy away for me!"

"Let him cool off in detention for a night!"

Old Han was visibly upset.

Irate beyond measure.

In front of him, a young man was sweating profusely, pleading frantically.

"Officer, please believe me, I’m telling the truth. This woman is not my wife; she’s a fake! Please, you must believe me!"

Even though he was shouting desperately.

Old Han still shouted harshly at the two officers holding him.

"What are you waiting for! Hurry up and take him to the detention center!"

Luo Fei walked over and discovered.

Old Han’s jaw was swollen.

Apparently injured during a scuffle with the young man.

His face bruised and his jaw nearly dislocated.

No wonder he was so agitated.

Not far away, a woman with lush curly hair, heavy makeup, and a red dress was staring blankly at the young man being taken away by two officers, as if he were a complete stranger.

Luo Fei was curious and asked.

"Old Han, what happened? Why are you so angry?"

Seeing Luo Fei’s confusion.

As if he didn’t understand what was happening.

Old Han replied with a stern face.

"Mr. Luo, don’t even bring it up! Just now, that punk made a scene. He really got on my nerves."

Almost simultaneously. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The woman also walked over quickly.

Extremely wronged, she pleaded with Luo Fei for help.

"Officer, what should I do?"

"My husband doesn’t recognize me anymore. He even says I’m not his wife! What did I do to deserve this, marrying him!"

Luo Fei took a good look at the woman in front of him.

"If I’m not mistaken, you are Zhu Guangming’s wife?"

Zhu Guangming was the young man just now.

The one who had reported his wife missing.

And now, this woman in red neither affirmed nor denied.

"Yes, officer, I’m Chen Shufen. I’m Zhu Guangming’s wife. We’ve been married for seven years now."

"Last month we went abroad for vacation together. But because I returned home alone first, he went crazy, told the police I was missing, and said I might have been harmed. Now, after barely making contact and coming to find him, he claims I’m not his wife and his real wife died abroad. Isn’t this nonsense?"

The woman spoke with such grievance.

Yet Luo Fei remained composed and analytical.

Very calm.

"Chen Shufen, you say you’re Zhu Guangming’s wife, but do you have any proof to confirm your identity?"

Seeing that Luo Fei seemed skeptical.

Chen Shufen became visibly anxious.

While Old Han explained earnestly.

"Mr. Luo, I’ve checked their marriage certificate and IDs. I’ve also called the relevant departments for verification."

"Chen Shufen is indeed Zhu Guangming’s wife, and even the photos match."

In fact.

Old Han had confirmed Chen Shufen’s identity with the relevant departments.

They had verified that she was indeed Zhu Guangming’s wife.

Yet Zhu Guangming insisted that Chen Shufen was a stranger and not his wife.

Such a situation made Han Tiesheng feel extremely perplexed.

"I was just trying to calm things down, to get Zhu Guangming to calm down."

"But who knew, this kid didn’t appreciate it and went ahead to punch me instead!"

An excited Han Tiesheng accidentally pulled at his wound.

Pain shot through him, making him wince and grimace again.

"Mr. Luo, given my situation, don’t you think I can apply for work injury compensation?"

"Yes, you can. I’ll have someone apply for a 20 yuan allowance so you can get some liniment for bruises."
