A Husband For Killer Mom-Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Ch. 19 Richard’s Investigation
(Flashback)
Richard carried his daughter out of the car as soon as he arrived at his villa. Right after Richard dropped his daughter, Moni and Meli immediately greeted Lori, who was now cheerful again.
He let out a sigh of relief to see his daughter’s cheerfulness had returned to normal. Richard was confused when his daughter turned voiceless on the way home, making him even more curious about what the woman had said to her daughter.
“Moni, play with her while I work.”
“Ah? I thought you were on vacation?”
“Yes, but I have urgent business to attend to.”
“Okay. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely take care of her.”
.....
Richard went into his room and went straight to his laptop. With his skills, it didn’t take long to find information regarding Qiao Anxia.
Unfortunately, the information he found wasn’t that essential as if someone had hidden the woman’s background on purpose.
The only information he found was the woman’s data when she was a child. Both of her parents have died, and one died in prison, while the other died in a mental hospital.
Richard rubbed his chin a few times as he pondered this information seriously. His instincts told him that the deaths of the girl’s parents were not as simple as they seemed.
Then Richard changed his search target. This time he investigated the background of Anxia’s parents. Her father, Zhao Yu Hue, worked at a company owned by director Wong.
Director Wong? The bankrupt company? Wasn’t Michele, his sister-in-law, the only daughter of director Wong? f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Richard reread another piece of data, finding a surprising fact this time. It seems that director Wong made Qiao Yu Hue a scapegoat for embezzling funds and cooperating with the Hong Kong triad mafia.
All the evidence that should have been directed at Wong was instead directed at Yu Hue. The poor man went to prison and committed suicide.
Meanwhile, her mother, Loraine Shu, was depressed and suddenly went crazy by clawing at all the directors at the shareholders’ meeting. Because of that incident, director Wong put Loraine into a mental hospital while little Anxia was alone in her house without knowing anything.
Several years later, Loraine Shu was reported to have died, but her body has not been found.
Richard once again rubbed his sharp chin with a tense look.
Qiao Anxia, ??why is your family’s situation so complicated? he asked himself.
Richard started running his ten fingers over his laptop, deciding to hack into the dark organization he suspected of having ties to Qiao Anxia.
And bingo! He found several videos where the leader of Luen Group invited little Anxia to talk. In another video, he saw little Anxia, who was subjected to harsh training and torture when the child failed to complete a mission, making Richard frown.
He quickly searched for other video footage still showing the training and other tortures.
Richard remembered that night he was given an aphrodisiac and had sex with that woman. Even though his body was filled with lust and his mind was hard to think clearly, he could still see. There were many scars on the girl’s back, and some faded, but some were still clearly visible.
How did the girl feel when she went through all that training alone? The girl must have been lonely and suffering from growing up without parental love and instead filled with violence and covered in blood.
Without realizing it, Richard made his decision. He decided to pull her out of that dark world, and he would bring her into his world filled with warmth and happiness.
Richard had no idea that he had fallen in love with Anxia, but he genuinely wished to make her happy. He thought his feelings for Anxia were just lust, but now he felt sorry for her and wanted to give her a better world.
Tit. Tit. Tit. Suddenly, a warning sound rang out from the direction of his black box.
“Master, someone is trying to infiltrate.” a voice from his digital assistant gave a warning.
Richard quickly stepped out of his target’s security while strengthening his cyber defenses. Luckily his digital assistant gave him a timely warning so he could promptly disconnect the signal and not be tracked.
He wanted to find something that could be used as a powerful weapon to lure Anxia out, but he had to postpone it. He tried to find the weakness of Master Yu, who was one of the triad leaders of the Luen group, so that he could release Anxia without grudges.
But he was too absorbed in his sympathy for her life that he didn’t have time to seek critical information. Finally, he contacted his acquaintances who used to enter the underworld to learn more about Qiao Anxia’s relationship with Master Yu.
While waiting for information, Richard left the room after confirming his target would not be able to trace the IP address of his computer location.
He saw his daughter laughing because Meli tickled her while kissing her face. Seeing this scene made his heart feel full. Is this what it felt like to have a child and see his child laughing happily like that?
Around one o’clock in the afternoon, Richard asked Lori to take a nap considering the child’s nap time was around that time.
But before letting his daughter fall asleep, Richard tried to persuade his daughter to convey what the strange woman who had met them at the hotel this morning said.
Hesitatingly Lori interpreted the sentence Ling Meng had said earlier.
“Mommy is coming to pick me up tonight.”
“Is she now? Why do you look displeased?”
“When mommy said she would pick me up, it meant that she would do something to you. Mommy came not only to pick me up but also to thrash you.”
Richard Calvin was stunned to hear the word ‘thrash’ from his little daughter, who had just turned three years old. What has been taught by the mother of his child during these three years? f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
He would remind himself to change the way her upbringing up his innocent daughter.
