Chapter 1291 - 639: Sour Face? Just as I Hoped_2

Luo Fei’s words clearly indicated his disbelief in what the other party had said.

He also felt.

What this woman said was untenable.

And, indeed, the girl quickly changed her tune.

"Mr. Luo, I admit, Zhao and I were more than just ordinary friends."

"However, we never did anything inappropriate. I can assure you, I never wronged his wife."

But upon hearing this, Luo Fei suddenly laughed.

"Ma’am, so can I understand that Zhao Kuanlin has always been the one unilaterally investing in this relationship, even subsidizing your shop for you? But you never contributed to him—only provided a place for him to escape and eat when he didn’t want to be with his wife?"

"That’s about right. But Mr. Luo, it’s not my fault. His wife is too domineering, too forceful."

After the explanation.

Luo Fei then knew.

It turns out that all along.

Zhao Kuanlin had been somewhat oppressed by his wife.

She was very forceful, one could even say overly forceful.

This caused Zhao Kuanlin certain psychological pressure.

But he couldn’t say much.

After all, his wife had been very hard-working and tough in the past.

This made Zhao Kuanlin unable to say anything.

"So, whenever he was upset or in a bad mood, he would come find me."

"And only drink and eat here, casually venting."

Just listening to her words.

Li Yu on the side couldn’t help but scoff.

"Miss, why are you pretending to be pure? If you were really thinking of him, you should tell him to stop complaining. Either be straightforward and divorce his wife, instead of carrying on with the hatred and guilt towards her, oscillating between these two emotions."

"In the end, he’s the one who suffers. And you as an observer are merely exploiting his psychology of not wanting to betray his wife but wanting someone to talk to. You’re just enjoying his kindness while meticulously keeping yourself clean. In essence, you’re despicable and shameless."

Li Yu couldn’t help but scoff.

Which immediately silenced her.

Luo Fei quickly explained.

"Miss, even though you’re not a murderer, we police are currently investigating the case."

"If possible, we hope you can cooperate. We are indeed curious whether Zhao Kuanlin has offended anyone before, leading to such a disaster?"

Upon hearing this.

She took a deep breath before patiently explaining.

"Officer, if I were to tell you my ex-husband had troubled him before?"

"What kind of situation, ex-husband? Or is it that your current husband is just being deliberately concealed by you?"

Having discerned Luo Fei’s intention.

She was noncommittal.

"Mr. Luo, I have no reason to lie."

"I actually told Zhao before, my ex-husband is very obsessive. Even though we’ve been separated, he still has a strong controlling desire. He won’t allow any male to approach me. So ever since Zhao got to know me, he often used drinking as an excuse, causing trouble at our shop."

"At that time, we reported to the police more than once. But it was to no avail."

After her explanation.

Luo Fei then knew.

She had divorced him several years ago.

Not only that, she even fled from her ex-husband more than once, and multiple suicide attempts had failed.

But all couldn’t escape this nightmare.

This man was a manic obsessor.

Even after separation, he still came to her place, banging on the door, and that too in the late night.

This scared her greatly.

"Have you never considered arresting him or endured all alone?"

Seeing her some uncertainty.

This shop owner was also on the verge of tears.

"Mr. Luo, I’m just an ordinary person. If I had a way, I would’ve resolved this a long time ago. But unfortunately, I don’t. I can only let these things happen."

"Previously, Zhao even said he would help me arrange a blind date. But this matter was abruptly messed up by him. On several occasions, he saw me talking to other men and had to create a fuss. The problem is, I run a business; how can I completely avoid interacting with men?"

At this moment.

The shop owner genuinely had a bitter heart but couldn’t express it.

Luo Fei, however, wasn’t in the mood for complaints.

Instead, he asked seriously.

"Shop owner, where has your ex-husband been lately? Has he said more excessive things or done something more outrageous? If so, speak out boldly."

"After all, this time, the whole Zhao family has been silenced. Perhaps it’s because he bore a grudge that he took such extreme actions, who knows."

Luo Fei’s question led the shop owner to take a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, come to think of it, he hasn’t shown up these few days. But I don’t think he’s the type to kill because he’s had previous run-ins with the police. He doesn’t dare act up in front of them, only blowing off steam with me."

"But when he sees strangers, he’s more cowardly than anyone else."

But upon hearing this.

Luo Fei rubbed his temples and seriously said.

"Shop owner, actually, this doesn’t necessarily show he’s weak outside but rather indicates he might pretend."

"Indeed, maybe he deliberately puts on a show in front of others, pretending to be innocent. But in reality, he’s just acting for the others."

Luo Fei’s analysis brought an acknowledgment from Li Yu beside him.

"I think Mr. Luo is right. Perhaps he’s just putting on a show for others, appearing weak on the outside while that’s not the real situation."

After Li Yu said this.

The shop owner also paused for a moment and said.

"Got it, officer. How about I call him now to see if I can reach him?"

"Alright, but it’s best to use a landline. Let’s not hang up our line as we can listen to his attitude."

"... Understood."

The shop owner said and dialed the number.

"Honey, what day is it today, the sun came out from the west, and you actually called me?"

Hearing his words, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

The shop owner quickly interrupted him.

"You’re getting older and still not being serious. Who’s your wife, stop talking nonsense!"

The shop owner said, somewhat impatient.

But he spat.

"Qianqian, did you forget? I said this a long time ago. You’ll forever be mine, no matter when; you’ll always belong to me."

"Or are you thinking about being with that Zhao guy again? I can tell you, there’s no possibility between you two. He’s such a coward that he’d never dare divorce his wife, let alone bear the responsibility of being with you."

"..."

Upon hearing silence on this end.

The person on the other end was also somewhat surprised.

"Why aren’t you speaking, did I hit the nail on the head?"

"He’s dead, just the day before yesterday."

As the shop owner said this.

It was Luo Fei’s group’s turn to hold their breath.

"Are you joking? Is this true?"

But upon hearing him ask, the shop owner felt angry.

"Zou Yubo, tell me. Did you do this, did you kill his family and then gamble with the stolen money?"

The shop owner indeed was somewhat out of control, hence the emotional intensity.

But it wasn’t unfounded.

Because Zou Yubo and her relationship had truly deteriorated beyond redemption.

All along, the shop owner had been hoping.

Wishing the ex-husband would change, wouldn’t be as obsessive and stubborn as before.

But unfortunately, all to no avail.

This mindset was entirely futile.

The ex-husband’s nature was like that, not changing for anyone easily.

Even for the one he likes most.
