Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 1209 - 598: Bluffing? Exceptionally Clever (Part 2)

The girl spoke with a very serious tone.

That made Luo Fei nod as well.

"Miss, I’ve basically got a clear picture of the situation now. I can more or less guess what exactly happened."

Luo Fei had more or less figured it out too.

This woman had originally intended to abduct the girl.

Under the pretext of taking her to work, she was going to sell her off.

But she hadn’t expected that she would end up becoming the one who got abducted.

And the man who’s with her now is very likely the buyer who took her off the trafficker’s hands.

Once he realized that, Luo Fei immediately communicated the situation to the officer on the other end of the phone.

Before long, he received the photos and recordings the other side sent over.

"Kid, this person has already confessed. The one you contacted before was actually a trafficker too. And the woman who almost managed to lure you away is called Liu Fengzhi. She herself almost got kidnapped by this man and turned into his wife. Fortunately, we moved in quickly."

Seeing the girl’s face go a bit grim,

as if she were blaming herself,

feeling she shouldn’t have done what she did,

the girl was washed over by a wave of guilt.

She hurriedly apologized.

"Officer, I really am sorry about what happened this time. I admit I shouldn’t have done that. But the situation was urgent back then, and I really didn’t have any other way... so, I’m sorry."

Seeing her holding her breath, all tense,

as if terrified he might give her trouble,

Luo Fei merely waved his hand.

"Kid, you’re not even fourteen yet. I’m not going to hold you responsible for this. But I do hope you can realize your mistake. And that your parents here can as well."

Luo Fei said this and turned to look at the couple beside her.

They too were holding their breath, all tense.

"Officer, we know we were wrong. We admit we didn’t do a good job educating our daughter, and that’s what led her to do something like this. We’re truly sorry."

But seeing how awkward they were,

their mouths twitching as they spoke,

Luo Fei’s expression hardened.

"You two seem to have misunderstood. That’s not what I meant."

"I just wanted to tell you, quite simply, that I hope you’ll take good care of your daughter. Let her grow up happily and healthily, without worries.

Instead of ending up in this kind of dangerous situation again. Otherwise, even if your guardianship might not necessarily be revoked, what you’ll be facing then will be enormous public pressure."

Luo Fei’s reminder

made the couple nod repeatedly in agreement.

"Officer, you’re absolutely right."

"We will be careful."

Seeing that the girl’s immediate danger had been lifted for now,

Luo Fei finally let out a small sigh of relief.

"You two, aside from what the girl went through before, there are actually some other things I’d like to talk to you about. I just don’t know if you’d be willing to discuss them with me?"

Noticing that Luo Fei seemed hesitant, like he wanted to say more,

the couple tensed up again.

"Officer, we’ve already told you everything we know. We also promise we’ll be good to our daughter."

"Yes, we really don’t know what else we’ve failed to do properly. So if you have any criticism or any thoughts about us, please speak your mind directly."

Seeing how they were holding their breath,

their faces full of tension,

as if terrified he might blame them,

Luo Fei smiled it off.

"You two, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else by this."

"I’m just curious whether you know anything about Lingling’s previous employer. Have you been in touch with them at all, exchanged any experience on how to take care of a child?"

But when they heard Luo Fei ask this,

the couple exchanged a look and both seemed a bit troubled.

"Officer, to be honest with you, we’ve always been a bit conflicted inside, you could even say we’ve had a knot in our hearts of our own."

It turned out that back when they first adopted Ye Ling,

they’d already noticed

that she actually had very deep feelings for her foster father.

At first she only called them uncle and aunt.

It was only as they guided her bit by bit

that she gradually began to change.

"Although that foster mother of hers really wasn’t much, that Lv Weiming truly was a very decent man. He really cared about Lingling and was very reluctant to let her go."

"So we just can’t bring ourselves to believe that someone like him would deliberately do anything to hurt his daughter."

As it happened, after parting with the girl, Lv Weiming

had secretly sent over several birthday presents, from dolls to toys, carefully chosen.

Even her school fees and tutoring fees for the first two years of school were paid by Lv Weiming.

If he had really intentionally hurt the girl,

he should have distanced himself from her at the first opportunity,

not gone out of his way to keep caring for her.

"So, Officer, we’ve actually suspected that there might have been some special reason why he sent the girl to be raised by someone else. But without concrete proof, we really haven’t felt it was our place to jump to conclusions..."

Seeing the couple hesitate, as if they had more they wanted to say,

Luo Fei nodded.

"I understand."

"You two can rest assured, I will see to it that this case is thoroughly investigated and the truth fully uncovered."

Luo Fei spoke with a serious tone.

The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Officer, hearing you say that puts our minds at ease."

"Yes, because all along we’ve felt this was a knot in our hearts. We really couldn’t easily let it go... We also hope that our daughter can truly become cheerful, and, ideally, that the barrier between her and her foster father can be lifted—that invisible wall between them. That really is very important to us."

Seeing how emotional the couple were,

tears welling in their eyes,

Luo Fei couldn’t help but feel a certain admiration.

"You two, it’s really remarkable that you have this kind of concern."

"I also believe that in the future Lingling will come to understand what’s in your hearts and appreciate the pains you’ve taken for her."

But just as Luo Fei was about to leave,

Su Jianfan, standing off to the side, was a bit surprised.

"Mr. Luo, we’re just leaving like this?"

"What else? The case has already been solved. What more do you want to do?"

Seeing his confusion,

his puzzlement,

Luo Fei took a deep breath.

"Su Jianfan, some things aren’t as simple as you think."

"Even if we’ve gotten hold of this one lead, can you really just rely on that little clue and conclude that the man is definitely in the wrong?"

Luo Fei’s question made Su Jianfan hesitate.

"Mr. Luo, hearing you put it that way, it does make sense."

Seeing that he looked slightly ashamed,

Luo Fei smiled it off.

"Su Jianfan, there’s no need to rush. We’re still in the middle of investigating the case, after all."

"I can also promise you that it probably won’t take us long to get to the bottom of the truth. That should put your mind at ease, right?"

Seeing how firmly Luo Fei spoke,

his face calm and steady,

Su Jianfan couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

"Mr. Luo, I’m genuinely curious—how are you going to do that?"

"Come on, let’s get in touch with Zhao Mengyao’s adoption agency overseas and roughly explain what happened. I think that once they understand what this woman has done and see clearly what kind of person she is, they’ll completely change their view of her."

After a while,

once Luo Fei had tracked down the phone number

and spoken with them in fluent English,

he suddenly couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

"Heh, how did I not think of that sooner?"

"Right, it really should be like this..."

Seeing Luo Fei deep in thought, as if he had something on his mind that he wanted to say but felt awkward about voicing,

Su Jianfan grew curious as well.

"Mr. Luo, what exactly did you discover?"

Seeing Su Jianfan’s confusion,

Luo Fei patiently explained.

"Su Jianfan, I know this might sound a bit unbelievable."

"But I have to tell you: that man Zhao Mengyao got involved with is almost certainly a scammer too."
