Chapter 1131 - 559: Hesitation and Unspoken Words (Part 2)
The younger sister spoke with a serious demeanor.
Luo Fei was also noncommittal.
"Miss, you’re right. In fact, under public scrutiny, no one can easily avoid suspicion. Worse still, a single slip could drag someone in. So I truly understand your feelings."
But comparatively speaking, Ji Bing seemed a bit hesitant.
"Miss, get to the point. What’s really going on here, why has the situation come to this?"
At that moment.
Ji Bing’s curiosity was genuinely piqued.
And the young woman was also noncommittal.
"Officer, to be honest. Ye Shanshan was emotionally agitated on the bus because she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Lymphoma."
The younger sister’s response made Luo Fei enlightened.
"This explains everything."
"Because of the cancer, Ye Shanshan decided to completely let herself go, and under the urging of a well-meaning woman on the bus, her emotions erupted."
"Exactly."
Xiao Minghao sighed with some helplessness.
"I realized this at the time, which is why I understood her emotional breakdown."
"So she confronted the old man purely out of a bad mood. What was originally just a trivial incident got magnified to an extreme by the media, affecting her work and life."
Xiao Minghao spoke with some hesitation in his voice.
It was obvious that he really felt sorry for Ye Shanshan.
But Ji Bing had her own thoughts about this statement.
"But Mr. Xiao, even if that’s the case, there’s no need for her to continue hiding the truth, is there? If I were her, I would choose to come out and explain the situation to the public, rather than continuing to conceal and cover up the truth."
Ji Bing said, appearing a bit bewildered.
Xiao Minghao was also noncommittal.
"Officer, that’s exactly what I told her at the time. I said she could still live on, rather than giving up on herself."
"But she told me she was already a dying person. She didn’t care about the truth anymore."
"And she was already in the late stages of cancer. Even with active treatment, she would be a shell of her former self. So she chose to jump off a building, and it was at Mr. Shen’s company rooftop."
Xiao Minghao spoke earnestly.
This also piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.
"Mr. Xiao, did she mention why she chose such an extreme way? Is there more to the story?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s interest in the truth.
Xiao Minghao then solemnly analyzed.
"Mr. Luo, she did say at the time that she really disliked Mr. Shen’s wife. Because she would often check up on him, jealous of her beauty, and always mingling with Mr. Shen. She felt that her partner had an inappropriate relationship with this mistress."
Xiao Minghao said, somewhat amused.
Luo Fei also nodded.
"I understand, Mr. Xiao. We’re really grateful to you this time."
Luo Fei said with ease.
But Xiao Minghao shook his head.
"You’re too kind, Mr. Luo. I just did what I could. If I truly had any capability, I would have found a way to save her back then, not just stand by and watch her meet with disaster."
At that moment.
Xiao Minghao’s nose tingled.
Almost to the point of tears.
Luo Fei could see that he was genuinely moved.
Because he considered the other person his lifelong partner.
That’s why he was so affected.
After a while.
As Luo Fei gathered more evidence, including tickets from a trip Xiao Minghao and Ye Shanshan took.
And some copies of their photos together.
Even with all this evidence.
Ji Bing’s expression remained complicated.
"What’s wrong, Ji Bing, do you have something on your mind?"
At that moment.
Seeing her obvious curiosity.
Ji Bing also was noncommittal.
"Mr. Luo, I’ve been thinking. Even so, Xiao Minghao’s affair is not really excusable."
"As for Mr. Shen, his wife is already gone. If we dig further, it might not be easy."
Ji Bing spoke with a hint of hesitation in her tone.
Seeing she had more to say but held back.
Luo Fei simply smiled.
"Ji Bing, in my view, some things aren’t worth our constant worry. Although Mr. Shen previously stated publicly that his wife is deceased, that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a mistress, or maybe he wasn’t in a formal relationship with her. We just don’t know."
Luo Fei said, immediately dialing Mr. Shen’s daughter’s number.
But hearing Luo Fei call her directly.
The other side was a bit agitated.
"Mr. Luo, we haven’t been in touch for a while. I really didn’t expect you to call me first. It’s quite surprising and also kind of flattering."
Realizing her surprise.
She never thought he would personally call.
Luo Fei simply laughed.
"Miss Shen, over this period, our police have been intensively investigating previous cases. Due to the lack of progress and being occupied with other investigations, we hadn’t reached out sooner."
Luo Fei said seriously.
But Shen Yueling was casual about it.
"No problem, Mr. Luo, I understand what you mean. After all, it’s been a while since this incident happened. I was worried the police might almost be giving up the investigation."
Shen Yueling had done some research.
Though it was just some clues an amateur would pick up.
But for Shen Yueling.
This information was crucial.
It also made her realize.
The optimal time to investigate a case is within 72 hours of it occurring.
But nearly half a month had passed by now.
Even though Sun Yida’s cause of death was determined.
To Miss Shen, that was far from sufficient.
"Miss Shen, we’re actually calling to ask if your father had any other lovers. Even though your mother is gone, we suspect he wouldn’t settle down so easily."
At that moment.
As Luo Fei spoke.
Miss Shen was also noncommittal.
"You’re right, Mr. Luo. Actually, my father did have some mistresses. But we had reached an agreement before."
"I told him not to tell me about these things until I have a child. I wasn’t interested. But now that I’ve had a child, it’s time for me to learn these things. It might help me understand my father better."
Miss Shen spoke with a hint of hesitation in her tone.
But Luo Fei reminded her.
"Miss Shen, although I know you’re a strong individual.
"I hope you can mentally prepare yourself for this matter."
Luo Fei suddenly said this.
Which made Shen Yueling hold her breath.
"Officer, what do you mean? Is there more to this matter than meets the eye?"
At that moment.
Shen Yueling held her breath, truly surprised.
Luo Fei replied earnestly.
"Although I can’t be 100% sure."
"I think Ye Shanshan’s death is inseparably linked to your stepmother. But whether Mr. Shen was involved or even encouraged it is another matter."
Seeing Luo Fei hesitate to speak further.
Miss Shen was also noncommittal.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Luo. I understand you want me to be mentally prepared, but these minor issues are nothing to me."
Miss Shen said seriously.
Luo Fei finally felt some relief.
"Miss Shen, it’s best if you’re prepared."
