Chapter 1153 - 570: Ambiguous? The Imperial Cat Swap (Part 2)
Hearing her ask this.
Luo Fei was initially a bit surprised.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?"
Recognizing Luo Fei’s confusion.
The other person quickly explained.
"Hello Mr. Luo. I am Mr. Shen’s secretary, my name is Tang Xiaochen."
Upon hearing the other’s introduction.
Luo Fei suddenly understood.
"Oh, so it’s you. Miss Tang, is there something, or have you already decided to cooperate with the police investigation?"
Understanding Luo Fei’s intent.
The tone was somewhat bewildered.
Tang Xiaochen patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest. Actually, I’ve been reflecting on myself lately. I also know that I was wrong about Ye Shanshan before, but her death has nothing to do with me..."
But before she could finish.
Luo Fei was already serious.
"Miss Tang, if you have anything on your mind, just feel free to say it, no need to beat around the bush."
"Also, no one ever said you were involved in Ye Shanshan’s death. You’re suddenly admitting fault now, I suspect you’re in big trouble? So you’re planning to endure humiliation and ask for police help."
As Luo Fei spoke, his tone was eerie.
He almost hit the nail on the head and exposed her inner worries.
Tang Xiaochen felt extremely guilty upon hearing this.
Because what Luo Fei said was exactly what she was thinking.
So she had no choice but to blush and awkwardly say.
"Mr. Luo, I didn’t expect you to know what’s on my mind, this is really a bit embarrassing."
Seeing the other person was somewhat embarrassed.
At this point, there was a bit of blushing and even bewilderment.
Luo Fei only smiled.
"It’s okay, Miss Tang. Actually, I could guess that being beside Mr. Shen, you must always be walking on thin ice. Now with the nerves stretched tight, they’re almost about to break, so you had no choice but to come to me for help."
Luo Fei’s words left Tang Xiaochen speechless.
After all, what he said was true, she had been with Shen Liufeng all along, and although she was making twice as much money as before.
She even paid off the 300,000 mortgage in her hometown before turning 30 this year.
But along with it came massive work pressure.
And the necessity to be cautious with words and actions.
Also, because she had always been.
Brooding over Ye Shanshan’s issue.
Therefore she was very afraid, what if one day she ended up like Ye Shanshan, encountering the same situation, then it would be troubling.
So Tang Xiaochen became more neurotic, constantly thinking about this matter.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, after Ye Shanshan died, I went through a painful time. During that time, I felt very depressed."
"But it was during this period that I met Mr. Shen’s business partner. That is, a local real estate tycoon in Changli City, the owner of one of the top hundred companies nationwide, Zhao Haikuo."
After Tang Xiaochen explained,
Luo Fei understood.
It turns out Tang Xiaochen and Zhao Haikuo were indeed dating.
Their relationship was close to developing into marriage.
But at that time, Zhao Haikuo’s legitimate wife discovered the affair between Tang Xiaochen and Zhao Haikuo.
She also found out Tang Xiaochen was pregnant.
So she flew into a rage.
Causing a commotion at Zhao Haikuo’s company.
And Tang Xiaochen was truly dumbfounded.
Because the reason she got pregnant was thinking she could become legitimate.
Wait until she and Zhao Haikuo reached a fruitful conclusion.
Then she could live well with him.
But she never expected this incident to happen now.
"Mr. Luo, although Zhao Haikuo withstood the pressure and decisively chose to divorce, we still haven’t succeeded. In recent years, I’ve been constantly worried. Hoping that through the child, I could be together with Zhao Haikuo. But it seems difficult now."
Hearing this, Luo Fei felt.
It’s understandable, given that Tang Xiaochen and Zhao Haikuo were together because she saw him as her redemption.
But the other person might not have thought that way.
She was merely a passerby in Zhao Haikuo’s life.
"Miss Tang, actually this is understandable. After all, if Zhao Haikuo has a flirtatious nature and no longer likes you after some time, that might be normal."
"No, Mr. Luo, actually some time ago, he came to see me and the child. He hoped we could be together. In a couple of years, he would take me home. But before that, he wanted to do a paternity test."
Speaking with some difficulty.
Luo Fei also heard the peculiarity.
"Miss Tang, are you suggesting that the child isn’t Mr. Zhao’s?"
"Of course he is, Mr. Luo, but the paternity test result says otherwise. And the sample at the time was verified with hair, the child’s and Mr. Zhao’s."
Hearing this,
Luo Fei finally understood.
Tang Xiaochen wanted to say.
This incident was likely Mr. Zhao deliberately swapped the samples.
Because he didn’t want to acknowledge Tang Xiaochen’s daughter.
After all, she had caused Zhao Haikuo some trouble. If they reconnected, someone might find a chance to bring up past issues.
Upon realizing this.
Luo Fei was somewhat surprised.
"Miss Tang, I understand your point. You’re suggesting that Mr. Zhao intentionally broke his promise and betrayed you?"
"Exactly. If possible, I’d like to do another paternity test. But he stubbornly refuses and insists that while we were dating, I was involved with someone else. Later, seeing my reputation destroyed, wanting him to take the fall."
Speaking in an eerie tone.
Luo Fei only smiled.
"So Miss Tang feels she was deceived. Now she wants to regain justice for herself?"
Understanding her intent.
Tang Xiaochen awkwardly smiled.
"Officer, I know saying this might be unreasonable. After all, I voluntarily entered this relationship. Now to turn around and sue him. But I’m really at a loss."
"Because I truly didn’t cheat, nor did I do anything wrong. He’s insisting the child isn’t his, and it puts me in a tough spot."
Hearing her awkward tone while she smiled.
Luo Fei only smiled in response.
"Miss Tang, you’re overthinking a bit. We police only look at facts. Whoever makes a claim must provide evidence."
"As for what happened before, whatever you did, probably doesn’t concern us police."
Speaking in a casual tone.
Tang Xiaochen felt her words seemed to have an underlying meaning, as if intentionally mocking her.
This made her somewhat embarrassed.
But for the sake of her child, she couldn’t care less.
"Mr. Luo, if it’s possible, I actually hope you can help. To conduct another paternity test. But if samples need to be gathered from Hong Kong Island, I’m afraid I’ll need your help."
"No problem. Send me the phone number of the testing center. I’ll communicate with them."
"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Luo."
...
As the phone call ended,
Luo Fei noticed.
At this moment, He Jiayun and Ji Bing were entering the room with breakfast.
He naturally accepted the cup of tea offered by them and took a sip of coffee.
"Tsk tsk, tea tastes better, I can’t get used to this bitter medicine soup."
While talking, the phone was already connected.
A graceful woman’s voice came through the phone.
"Hello, this is the Hong Kong Island’s Premier DNA Testing Center, Gene Engineering Technology Office. How may I assist you?"
"Hello, I want to retrieve a previous sample. It’s directly related to a criminal case."
As Luo Fei explained his intentions, the person on the other end realized.
"Oh, it’s an officer, hello, hello!"
"Please hold on for a moment, I’ll go check the files immediately. Let’s see what’s going on with this case."
After a moment.
The call was reconnected.
The person on the other end informed Luo Fei.
"Mr. Luo, I found the result of that test."
