Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

That kind of analysis.

Made the others a bit surprised too.

"Sir, I didn’t expect you actually know Ruan Shaomei?"

"Yeah, odds are she’s already dead by now. And she got involved with some rich second-generation heir, basically cheating during marriage. Anyway, it’s a complicated situation."

Just hearing that kind of news.

Lu Xiaoxue and Sister Tang didn’t feel surprised.

Instead, they told Luo Fei.

"Sir, to be honest, back when we were still at the company, Ruan Shaomei had already clashed with other streamers. It was the other side who was in the wrong first, and they even mocked her as some forty-something old auntie, humiliating her in all sorts of ways. All of that just happened to be captured by the company’s surveillance cameras. That’s why she let it slide for the time being."

"Also, that streamer apologized to her afterward, but it was only because upper management forced it, and she herself was really unwilling."

Hearing their analysis.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Got it. But my guess is, Ruan Shaomei probably wasn’t completely innocent either. It’s just that the company people didn’t want trouble, so they decided to cut her some slack?"

Luo Fei’s analysis.

Made Lu Xiaoxue’s eyes instantly widen.

"Sir, how did you know Ruan Shaomei was especially close with one of our shareholders back then?"

"I guessed."

Luo Fei just casually said two words.

But Lu Xiaoxue was absolutely sure.

Since Luo Fei would put it that way, that alone proved.

He actually knew some inside stuff.

He just wasn’t in a position to tell her directly.

And at this moment, Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.

He spoke very seriously.

"Girl, to be frank, we’ve already investigated Ruan Shaomei before, we know she’s problematic."

"And judging from your statement, if she really knew about the company’s internal dirt—selling banned products and unregulated health supplements—then normally your boss wouldn’t just let her walk so easily. Yet she still left the company smoothly, like it was nothing, and didn’t even get any extra compensation. So I think this is not normal, or rather, someone on the inside was coordinating with her. The two of them were cooperating. And this was just a show for everyone else—a classic ’kill the chicken to scare the monkeys’ move."

Luo Fei’s words made Sister Tang’s eyelids twitch.

"Wait, sir, what did you just say? My head’s a bit scrambled."

Seeing Sister Tang’s face full of confusion.

Luo Fei snorted.

"Ms. Tang, I’m being serious, I’m not joking with you."

"What I mean is, back then Ruan Shaomei left the company on purpose, and she was working with your upper management, deliberately making an example out of her so the others wouldn’t dare step out of line. In reality, it’s possible that from that moment on, she’d already gotten tangled up with your streaming company’s top brass."

Those words left her utterly stunned.

"Sir, who on earth are you? Don’t tell me you’re an undercover cop?"

After all, the girl really hadn’t expected Luo Fei’s insight to be this terrifying.

This ability was frankly impressive.

Seeing how shocked she was, like she found it unbelievable.

Luo Fei just smiled it off.

"You can think of me that way."

Luo Fei said that and shrugged.

The girl in front of him also took a deep breath.

She couldn’t help admiring him.

"Sir, if you put it like that, then everything kind of makes sense now. But how are we supposed to substantiate our theory? Without solid evidence, it’s going to be tough."

Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak.

Luo Fei smiled.

"Girl, maybe ordinary people like us can’t pull this off easily. But you’re different. You’re the key breakthrough in this case we’re investigating."

Hearing Luo Fei say that.

His tone so serious.

The girl flushed red in embarrassment on the spot.

"Hold on, sir, what do you mean by that? I don’t really get it."

Noticing how surprised she was.

As if she couldn’t believe what he’d just said.

Luo Fei just smiled faintly.

"I mean it literally. You’re an insider at the company. Now that the goods are missing, you’re the one who has to explain things to upper management. That way we get a chance to dig up more clues and evidence, don’t we?"

But what Luo Fei said made Lu Xiaoxue feel like she was dreaming.

"No, officer, we just said this earlier. Our higher-ups value this batch of goods a lot. If we don’t know where the shipment went, our boss will probably explode."

"Not to mention, they’ll definitely send us new stock."

Seeing her face go deathly pale, her expression full of panic and disbelief.

Luo Fei only smiled lightly.

"Girl, you’re overthinking. Since we police are willing to say this, of course we’ve already got a thorough plan in place."

As he spoke, Luo Fei took out a check he’d prepared in advance.

And the amount written on it was exactly the total value of that batch of goods.

Lu Xiaoxue’s nose stung; she almost burst into tears.

"Sir, you’re really too kind, you’re simply a saint!"

Seeing how excited she was.

Luo Fei just shook his head, amused.

"Girl, I can buy this batch of goods, but there are conditions. Don’t get happy too soon."

Seeing that she seemed about to say something.

The girl nodded hard.

"Sir, whatever you need help with, just say the word. As long as it’s doable, I’ll go through fire and water, no questions asked."

"Here’s the deal: to lure them out, we’ve specially contacted a big boss this time, hoping he’ll come buy some of these health products so we can gather evidence more effectively. So tomorrow morning, you’re responsible for getting in touch with your boss and asking him to bring us to the manufacturing site—at least to the warehouse where they’re stored—for an on-site inspection."

Luo Fei’s plan.

Made Lu Xiaoxue’s blood practically boil; her little face went bright red.

"Officer, I get what you mean. Isn’t this basically having me go undercover? No problem at all, leave it to me!"

But even though Lu Xiaoxue agreed.

Off to the side, Sister Tang’s face had gone completely ashen.

She spoke in disbelief.

"Hey, Lu Xiaoxue, you didn’t even ask what I thought before you agreed. Isn’t that a bit too heartless?"

Hearing her say that, sounding almost amused.

Lu Xiaoxue replied.

"Sister Tang, this batch of goods is already gone. We don’t have a cent left and might have to pay three times the value as a penalty. But now we’ve managed to sell it off. How is that not a good thing?"

"Since this way we don’t even have to stream. Or what, you’re not planning to cooperate with me on this? Then I can just send the recording of what this gentleman said to the local police station. You can go in and enjoy prison food. How about that?"

Lu Xiaoxue said this in a faint tone.

Her face full of disdain.

Sister Tang had absolutely not expected this.

This streamer she’d personally trained, who now had a million followers.

Was actually teaming up with a stranger to corner her.

"Hey, Lu Xiaoxue, I’m doing this for your own good."

"If you go along with this man, then in future everyone will know you were willing to sell out your own boss to help the police investigate. Do you even understand what that means?"

Seeing how incredulous she was.

Lu Xiaoxue spoke seriously.

"Sister Tang, of course I know what it means, but I don’t care. This is serious business. If I just go with the flow, and after knowing all this still choose to turn a blind eye, then I probably won’t be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Lu Xiaoxue said this in an extremely solemn tone.

Sister Tang stared at her for a while, then sighed helplessly.

"Alright, I get it. Since you’ve decided and made up your mind, I’ll do as you say. That’s good enough, right?"
