When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 562: Mrs. Sheng’s Secret (12)

Tang Yanqi lowered her eyes and drank her soup. Mrs. Zhang’s words were reasonable but not entirely accurate. Mr. Sheng also liked Shen Yao, but she had no such hatred towards Shen Yao.

Moreover, even if she had disagreements with Mr. Sheng, the old man had passed away, and she had no reason to transfer her anger. There must be other reasons.

On the other side, Zhou Chengze sat casually on the sofa, placing a cup of coffee in front of Sheng Jianan, then looked upstairs: "Xiao Yi is playing upstairs. The little girl is really cute. Damn, she’s making me want a kid too."

Sheng Jianan glanced at him lazily: "Jealous?"

"A little."

"Then go on envying."

Zhou Chengze: "..."

Sheng Jianan picked up the coffee, sipped it, and shed his casual demeanor, looking sharply at Zhou Chengze: "What did you find?"

Zhou Chengze pulled out a folder from under the coffee table and tossed it in front of Sheng Jianan: "Just as you thought, we followed the hit-and-run driver’s wife for a while and indeed found she received several unexplained sums of money. But there were no bank transfers; it was all cash given directly to her. However, we haven’t yet found out who that person is."

Sheng Jianan opened the folder, squinting at the documents inside.

Zhou Chengze continued: "Also, there’s something fishy about Shen Wanqing’s death. No doubt it was suicide, but I had someone specifically look into her autopsy report. It was done very vaguely with many missing data, and the person who performed the autopsy has already resigned. Shen Wanqing was the last case he handled. I’m still looking into this person, and I’ll let you know once there’s a result."

The Zhou Family is different from the Sheng Family. The Zhou Family focuses on real estate, which inevitably involves some connections with underworld figures. The Zhou Family initially rose by seizing land through questionable means. It wasn’t until Zhou Chengze’s father’s generation that they gradually turned legitimate, and by the time it passed into Zhou Chengze’s hands, the family had severed ties with those people, though there are still some covert interactions.

To Sheng Jianan, these people were just small-time crooks, but as the saying goes, three heads are better than one; some matters indeed require their crooked ways.

"But Brother Nan, how did you suspect it? I wouldn’t have found any flaws if I hadn’t used those people."

Sheng Jianan quickly scanned the contents of the folder, then slowly put them back, the depths of his dark eyes cold as ice: "I just don’t believe in so many coincidences."

Zhou Chengze paused for two seconds, nodding: "Right."

He learned from Shen Jiyan that there was something amiss with the car accident and began his investigation. In the end, he found the hit-and-run driver that Shen Jiyan couldn’t, who implicated Tang Ruhai, but Tang Ruhai had died not long after that.

Then that person also died, although Tang Ruhai’s health was indeed poor, so his passing made sense. And although the other person was already in the late stages of cancer, their sudden death was also quite normal.

But how could it be so coincidental?

Having navigated the business world for so many years, Sheng Jianan tended to believe that many seemingly coincidental things were actually deliberate.

"Keep investigating, and besides, Yanqi is pregnant, so she doesn’t need to know about these matters. No matter what the outcome, tell me directly."

Sheng Jianan deliberately emphasized the words "no matter what the outcome," prompting Zhou Chengze to squint at him. The man’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, seeming to have perceived everything, as if he had already guessed the outcome but just lacked the evidence.
