Chapter 1309 - 648: Concrete Evidence? A Feng Shui Treasure (2)

Due to the economic downturn.

Plus the real estate industry cooling down gradually.

Chen Wenping’s business was becoming untenable.

Not to mention, Bai Jingye and his group merely coaxed him into investing, making him their contractor, pushing him into a corner.

They hadn’t built a factory before.

Their primary business was real estate.

The kinds of loopholes and issues that could arise were predictable.

"So, this was the reason Chen Wenping cooperated with Bai Jingye?"

Li Yu said, starting to understand.

Why Chen Wenping had known Bai Jingye.

Moreover, his reason for jumping off the bridge was most likely realizing that Bai Jingye was dead.

The money lost in previous investments was most probably unrecoverable.

Which is why he felt such despair.

However, although realizing this, Luo Fei still had his own thoughts, so he spoke with a serious tone.

"Manager Lu, let’s be direct. Although I know part of the reason for this, I still believe there must be other hidden factors causing Mr. Chen to commit suicide. We just don’t know them yet."

Luo Fei’s sudden opening surprised Lu Deming for a moment.

But soon, he couldn’t help but feel admiration.

"Mr. Luo, I had heard that your intuition is very sharp, having your own ideas during investigations."

"And now it seems the rumor is indeed true. You’re right. I also feel that the reason Mr. Chen came to this point is indeed related to his own thoughts and circumstances."

While speaking, Lu Deming played a recording for Luo Fei.

After some static noise.

It sounded like a car engine starting up, followed by Lu Deming’s voice.

"Mr. Chen, you wouldn’t mind me recording this, right?"

"How could I? I just want to preserve some evidence as documentation for future use. Though it may not be enough as evidence, at least it’s better than nothing."

The sound of pages flipping was heard.

Luo Fei and the others held their breath in concentration.

The next second, Lu Deming couldn’t help but exclaim in the call recording.

"Mr. Chen, is this your examination report? Why did you show it to me?"

At this moment.

Lu Deming was genuinely shocked.

Chen Wenping then took a deep breath and said.

"Manager Lu, actually I intended to take this secret to the grave. I didn’t plan to tell anyone. But now, having reached this point, I see no reason to continue hiding it."

But the recording abruptly stopped there.

Li Yu couldn’t help but be curious.

"Mr. Lu, what exactly is Mr. Chen’s secret?"

"Gentlemen, this matter is somewhat embarrassing. Actually, previously, Mr. Chen asked me to accompany him for a check-up. He wanted to see why he and his wife hadn’t had a child all these years."

"As a result, he found out it was his own body’s inadequacy, with a naturally low fertility rate. And coincidentally, during that time, his wife suddenly got pregnant. So he started to doubt whether the child was his, or perhaps his wife had it with someone else."

This news made Luo Fei’s mouth twitch.

"So, rich people play such tricks?"

At this moment, Luo Fei was genuinely incredulous.

He didn’t expect Boss Chen, who seemed so proper, actually had a green pasture over his head.

Though he thought this.

But at this moment, Luo Fei remained impassive in appearance.

"But Manager Lu, what does this have to do with Bai Jingye? Could it be that Bai Jingye did something indecent and put a hat on Boss Chen?"

Luo Fei had some experience.

Hence he knew some people were quite extraordinary.

It’s not about their capabilities, as there might be none.

But they could seamlessly navigate social circles, with endless romantic encounters.

And noticing Luo Fei’s curiosity.

Lu Deming couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This unexpected behavior led Li Yu at the side to remind him.

"Mr. Lu, we’re in an interrogation, it’s a very serious matter. Even if suddenly thinking of something, there’s no need to burst out laughing, right?"

Seeing Li Yu a bit puzzled.

Lu Deming quickly gestured no offense.

"Officer, it’s not that I’m being unserious, nor am I intentionally mocking anyone."

"But because this matter is quite melodramatic when told."

It turned out, Mr. Chen had been trusting certain healers before.

So when they had trouble having a child, he sought out a healer for magical solutions.

And the healer told him.

He actually had a way to cure his wife’s condition.

But there was a catch, Mr. Chen’s wife needed to stay at a retreat center owned by that healer for 49 days of fasting. When she returned home purified of toxins, she could then easily conceive.

But hearing this.

Li Yu couldn’t restrain herself, laughing out loud.

"Isn’t this a joke, if the couple isn’t together..."

But saying this.

Li Yu seemed to realize something suddenly, her eyes gleaming with understanding.

"Manager Lu, are you implying that the healer did something to Zhang Li, which enabled the couple to have a child?"

Li Yu spoke euphemistically.

But the intention was obvious.

Manager Lu neither confirmed nor denied.

"Officer, you guessed right, because at that time the healer arranged for the couple to sleep in separate rooms. Zhang Li’s room wasn’t the same one as Mr. Chen’s."

"And next-door to Zhang Li’s room was the healer’s place. So, you get the drift..."

Initially, when Lu Deming heard Mr. Chen talking about it, he felt like he might have been cuckolded.

Yet, he was unwilling to accept this reality deep down.

So he kept turning a blind eye.

He also repeatedly convinced himself that he might just be lucky, blessed by heaven.

"But not long ago, he got evidence. Someone deliberately mailed the paternity test results of him and his son to his office, revealing the exclusion result. This led to his great distress."

After hearing this explanation.

Luo Fei also came to realize.

"So now our question is answered?"

"The reason why Mr. Chen suddenly became insomniac, unable to sleep for days, unwilling to share the same bed with his wife is because he felt unable to face her, unable to share the same bed with her?"

Luo Fei reached this point.

The doubtful Li Yu queried once more.

"But, sir, even if this is the case, we still can’t jump to conclusions. Saying Mr. Chen jumped because of his wife requires more detailed investigation."

"I understand, I will provide you with the healer’s address and evidence of his crimes. I am willing to help the police prove my innocence."

Upon hearing this.

Luo Fei was intrigued.

"Mr. Lu, although you seem genuine throughout, I still don’t understand. Why do you dislike Mr. Chen so much, going as far as collecting all this evidence against him? Was it something he did to you or your family?"

Lu Deming hesitated a moment before clarifying.

"Mr. Luo, I actually have no enmity with Mr. Chen, but strictly speaking, I am a business rival to Bai Jingye."

"Given the outrageous things he did before, I had to do such a thing to retaliate against him."

Lu Deming said, looking serious.

Clearly, he felt he and Mr. Chen originally had the chance to collaborate deeply.

But Bai Jingye leveraged connections and smoothed things over.

This caused Lu Deming to lose his initial business collaboration opportunity, leading to his disdain for Bai Jingye.

Even to the point of scorn.

However, Luo Fei could see there must be hidden secrets behind all this.

But he didn’t want to alert the other party.

So he chose to relax the vigilance and watch if Lu Deming would make any unusual moves?
