Chapter 1317 - 652: Framing? Scoffed At_2

"Remember this, since you’ve decided to be mine, you must help me with my business. I can’t let my wife down."

Liu Guolin said, his tone was disdainful.

This attitude left Xiujuan almost speechless.

"What then, are you planning to kill me? Let me tell you, Liu Guolin, although I have separated from Shen Liufeng, he still has feelings for me. If you really mess around, Shen Liufeng won’t let you get away with it."

...

As the recording ended, Luo Fei couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.

"Heh, in some way, these two are a perfect match."

Almost simultaneously, Su Jianfan asked Shen Yueling.

"Miss Shen, what we just said wasn’t intentional. I hope you won’t mind."

Hearing Luo Fei’s words, Shen Yueling took a deep breath.

"It’s okay. Actually, it’s the truth, so I won’t mind."

Hearing that the other party was quite understanding,

Luo Fei felt slightly relieved.

"Mr. Luo, in that case, I’ll call my dad. I want to see his attitude about Jin Xiujuan’s matter."

"Alright, put it on speaker, and we’ll all stay quiet."

Luo Fei said, heading with Su Jianfan to the empty room next door and locking the door.

But as soon as he locked it, Luo Fei regretted it.

Because the room was plastered with posters of beautiful women.

And various styles of revealing lingerie.

The sight made Luo Fei frown deeply.

But even if he felt a bit uneasy inside,

his exterior remained calm.

"Hello? Daughter, what’s up?"

Almost simultaneously, as Shen Yueling dialed the phone,

her father’s voice came through, kind and gentle.

Shen Yueling, after taking a deep breath, couldn’t help but sigh.

"Dad, I just received a call from the police. They found a body that seems to be Aunt Jin Xiujuan’s."

This news left Shen Liufeng silent for a long time before he spoke.

"Is that so? I hadn’t seen her for years, and the next news I hear is of her death?"

"Dad, I know this news might be hard to accept. But I also feel that Aunt Jin’s death is really sad."

"Moreover, I heard she was murdered. So I hope you can assist the police in their investigation."

Shen Yueling’s words left Shen Liufeng a bit surprised.

"Daughter, since when did you start caring about people you don’t like?"

Shen Liufeng asked, his tone somewhat puzzled.

Shen Yueling replied earnestly.

"Dad, it’s because I’m worried about you."

"After all, you used to be so close with her. If the police suspect you, wouldn’t it be troublesome?"

Upon hearing his daughter’s words,

Shen Liufeng felt a bit warm inside,

but outwardly remained calm.

"Thank you for your concern, daughter. You do have a point."

Hearing her father actively thanking her,

Shen Yueling was indifferent.

"Dad, do you think Aunt Jin was killed because she was too greedy for money?"

"After all, the police found that she was missing an arm at the scene, and was strangled with a belt. How deep must the hatred be?"

Shen Yueling deliberately probed her father.

As expected, upon hearing this,

Shen Liufeng’s expression immediately turned serious.

However, he made an effort to appear calm, still outwardly composed.

"Daughter, I understand your thoughts."

"But investigating cases is the police’s job. We outsiders should just do what we can, and not concern ourselves with the rest."

Shen Liufeng’s words prompted Shen Yueling to take a deep breath and nod.

"I understand, Dad. I’ll listen to you."

Hearing his daughter agree,

Shen Liufeng also felt slightly relieved.

"Daughter, that’s the right approach. Just listen obediently and don’t overthink. I believe the police will get justice for the victim and uncover the truth."

As the call ended,

Shen Yueling asked with some anticipation.

"Mr. Luo, what do you think? Did that call indicate any issues?"

Sensing Shen Yueling’s expectation,

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Shen Yueling, I can tell your father is deliberately avoiding something. He seems afraid of others seeing through him."

Luo Fei’s words made Shen Yueling slightly frustrated.

"I knew it. I suspected as much. Now it seems he’s definitely hiding something..."

Seeing Shen Yueling’s conflict,

Luo Fei was noncommittal as well.

"Miss Shen, I really appreciate your help this time. Thanks to you, we’ve made great progress."

But hearing Luo Fei’s words, Shen Yueling felt a bit apologetic.

"Mr. Luo, you’re too kind. To be honest, I feel a bit uncertain."

"My dad isn’t even willing to meet with the police. I feel like I’m not much help."

Shen Yueling spoke, clearly somewhat anxious.

Luo Fei said.

"Miss Shen, see it in a positive light. Your father didn’t refuse you outright."

"That’s a good sign. And I believe if we approach him, he’ll be willing to cooperate and won’t lie to us."

Luo Fei’s confidence seemed well-founded, leaving Shen Yueling a bit in awe.

"Mr. Luo, are you serious?"

Realizing Shen Yueling’s surprise, seemingly not expecting him to say that,

Luo Fei added.

"Of course. Mr. Shen is smart enough to understand the consequences of refusing cooperation are far worse. If he doesn’t cooperate, it might even raise police suspicion."

As Luo Fei hung up the call,

he arranged with Shen Yueling to communicate immediately when Mr. Shen returned to town.

Meanwhile, Su Jianfan was deep in thought,

which piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.

"Su Jianfan, what’s on your mind? Did you think of something? Why the serious look?"

Luo Fei’s inquiry made Su Jianfan hesitate.

"Mr. Luo, I was thinking there’s something odd about this resort."

"Something feels off, but I can’t pinpoint it. Even though Liu Guolin owns the resort, it doesn’t automatically mean he could hide the body without anyone noticing. There might be an accomplice at the scene helping him."

Su Jianfan’s analysis brightened Luo Fei’s thoughts.

"You make sense. But we can’t rule out the possibility that Liu Guolin acted alone."

Luo Fei understood that for Liu Guolin, a petite woman like Jin Xiujuan would be easy to move,

but from the body’s state,

it’s possible someone assisted him, allowing him to transport the body successfully.

"Su Jianfan, from your perspective, who do you think is most likely behind this?"

Seeing Luo Fei’s anticipation, Su Jianfan hesitated.

"Mr. Luo, I can’t be sure and hesitate to draw conclusions lightly. I’m worried about saying the wrong thing or identifying the wrong person, which could lead to trouble."

But seeing Su Jianfan’s hesitation, fearing he might make a mistake and cause trouble,

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Su Jianfan, your concerns are valid."

"But I truly believe that your instincts are accurate. How about this: you continue to stay here and observe, see if you can find who we’re looking for. Meanwhile, I’ll work with you from the outside to uncover the truth?"

Luo Fei’s trust made Su Jianfan extremely enthusiastic.

"Mr. Luo, thank you for trusting me. This is really significant to me. Truly, thank you."

Seeing the gratitude,

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Su Jianfan, no need to thank me, because it’s your own ability that earned this opportunity."
