Chapter 1037: Chapter 488: Some Truth, Some Lies (First Update)

Mrs. Fang quickly withdrew her hand from Lawrence Winters’ grip, her face turning from red to white. She said indignantly, "Lawrence, you really are something. Is this where you identify fingerprints with the naked eye? Those who know may laugh it off, but those who don’t might think you have eyes as sharp as a microscope!"

Lawrence tilted his head slightly, curling up one corner of his mouth into a sly smile.

She really wanted to tell Mrs. Fang that Lawrence Winters’ eyes really do rival a microscope!

She can even see the color of Energy; a few fingerprints are a piece of cake in comparison.

However, Lawrence was not so boastful as to be brainless.

She knew she could indeed see things invisible to the naked eye but could be revealed by instruments.

But there was no need to let others know this.

She pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "If you don’t believe me, you can use fingerprint identification equipment. Check it out, and you’ll see. In modern society, technological advancements have far surpassed the imagination of ordinary people."

Mrs. Fang hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not insist, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, I’ve looked at this photo many times... Just now, I was afraid you’d laugh at me, so I wasn’t honest. Actually, my husband is my first love, but I’m not his first love; I feel a bit bitter... So I’ve taken an interest in his first love, wanting to see what kind of woman could be with him."

Mrs. Fang spoke so frankly that Lawrence Winters found it hard to continue being sarcastic.

No matter what, someone’s genuine feelings deserve respect.

Moreover, Mrs. Fang and Mr. Yu were a couple officially married, having been together for twenty years. Such enduring love certainly explains why she’s so tense about Miss Tang’s appearance.

At this moment, Lawrence Winters felt that Mrs. Fang was worthy of sympathy.

However, she still said nothing on the matter, instead changing the topic, "So, what did Mrs. Fang do later to conclude that Miss Tang wasn’t ordinary?"

Mrs. Fang had just mentioned she initially didn’t do anything out of line, but instead hired a private detective to investigate Miss Tang, learning about her background.

Lawrence Winters suspected there might be issues with that statement, but she didn’t press further.

Mrs. Fang’s cover had already been pulled away by her, speaking more would only make her seem aggressive.

Thus, Lawrence skipped over that topic and picked up where Mrs. Fang had left off.

Mrs. Fang tilted her head, her eyes flickering slightly, gazing towards the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bright sunshine outside, her tone turning somber as she said, "...Once, I wanted the private detective to tail Miss Tang, to see when she was with my husband."

"The private detective was live-streaming the tracking to me, and I was sitting under that big sunshade on the front lawn, sipping coffee, when suddenly, a shadow fell on the grass, and there was someone standing silently before me. I looked up and nearly fainted!—It was actually Miss Tang!"

Mrs. Fang’s tone became excited. "Do you know how scared I was?! Just a second ago, the person was live-streaming on your phone, and suddenly they’re standing right in front of you!—Do you think anyone could do that?!"

Mr. Zhuge also inhaled sharply, saying, "Really? Your private detective was live-streaming the tracking of Miss Tang, and yet Miss Tang showed up at your home?! Then where was the private detective at that time?!"

Mrs. Fang shivered slightly, as if in fear, and muttered, "He was downtown in a large mall; apparently Miss Tang was there shopping. He followed her, and I’d been watching closely. I saw very clearly that the person in front of the private detective was indeed Miss Tang!"

"It’s at least an hour’s drive from downtown to this neighborhood; even if she flew, she wouldn’t have made it so quickly!" Mrs. Fang said decisively.

Mr. Zhuge was also puzzled, "If that’s true, then she really is suspicious. But appearing under the bright sun, she can’t possibly be a dark entity."

The category of dark entities is broad, not limited to ghosts, but also includes sinister beings that can’t face light or fire.

These beings can’t be exposed to sunlight.

Mrs. Fang was now trembling, her teeth chattering, "...Yes, that’s what I thought at the time, but being able to move so quickly, she can’t possibly be human, right?"

Mr. Zhuge furrowed his brows, "Are you suggesting Miss Tang isn’t human, but possibly a demon?"

"In the case of demons, those with vast powers might be capable of traveling a thousand miles a day."

Mr. Zhuge nodded.
