Chapter 1361 - 674: Immediate Silence? As Expected_2

Looking at Luo Fei, he seemed incredibly sincere.

The girl was also somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Luo, are you serious? After all, back at the police station, you were completely unwilling to believe me. So I was a bit worried you might flat-out refuse to trust me?"

She seemed somewhat worried, as if afraid that he wouldn’t believe her words.

Luo Fei replied, "First, tell me what’s going on here?"

At this moment, Luo Fei felt both expectant and slightly anxious.

Lin Shuyao took a deep breath and said,

"Mr. Luo, in fact, this matter was partly my fault. I didn’t communicate with my mother early enough. If I had been able to be honest with her sooner, then maybe she wouldn’t be so upset now..."

Lin Shuyao explained to Luo Fei,

It turns out that earlier, an agency approached Lin Shuyao, asking if she was interested in becoming a big star.

For Lin Shuyao, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But at the time, she was not yet eighteen, and she worried that pursuing this would displease her mother.

"So back then, I discussed with her that if she was willing to let me leave home to become a big star, then I could also alleviate the family’s burden. She wouldn’t have to see me every day anymore. After all, I can feel that my mom really doesn’t like me. She’s somewhat disdainful, but she just doesn’t say it out loud."

The sight of Lin Shuyao was somewhat hesitant.

Luo Fei also said.

"Lin Shuyao, your mother’s decision was right. After all, you were young back then. If you can continue to progress and become a better version of yourself, she will surely feel gratified."

"Besides, there are many people who want to become stars. What makes you think you can compete with those who are exceptionally wealthy? Do you believe your family’s financial strength has reached an exceptional level?"

Luo Fei appeared somewhat skeptical.

Lin Shuyao, however, didn’t explicitly agree or disagree.

"Mr. Luo, I know I actually have the potential to be a star."

"Moreover, I already have more than 200,000 followers online. It’s just that my parents are completely unaware of this. To ensure my personal safety, I’ve been streaming without showing my face."

Lin Shuyao’s explanation enlightened Luo Fei.

"Lin Shuyao, so you’ve long planned to leave your mother. And you were acting all cute in front of your dad just to put on a show?"

"The purpose of doing this is to make your mother feel guilty while also trying to get your father to help you achieve your star dreams, right?"

Luo Fei’s words left Lin Shuyao feeling extremely awkward.

"Mr. Luo, do you really need to put it so bluntly?"

Lin Shuyao hadn’t expected that, even though Luo Fei was showing a good attitude earlier.

Yet in the next moment, he suddenly became very serious.

He was even somewhat displeased.

She looked at him somewhat confused.

But Luo Fei said.

"Lin Shuyao, I believe your mother has done a lot for you. All along, she has tolerated your willful behavior."

"In return, you haven’t really shown any understanding towards her. That’s really inappropriate."

Luo Fei’s words made Lin Shuyao feel quite embarrassed.

"Mr. Luo, you are just an outsider. You’re not aware of how I live with my mother daily. How can you be sure she hasn’t done anything bad?"

As she was speaking, Lin Shuyao rolled up her sleeves.

When everyone saw the appalling scars.

Clearly, they were cuts made with a blade.

Li Yu, standing beside her, also stared wide-eyed.

"Your mom did this? Lin Shuyao, you’re not lying to us, this is no joke."

Li Yu looked utterly shocked.

He could hardly believe his ears.

Lin Shuyao, however, snorted.

"Officer Li, do I have any reason to lie to you? I never intended to fabricate anything."

Lin Shuyao continued, speaking matter-of-factly.

This also piqued Li Yu’s curiosity.

"Then why didn’t you report this earlier?"

Li Yu regretted saying this as soon as he did.

Because, clearly, she realized,

Previously, Lin Shuyao’s only guardian was Lin Shufen.

If she were to defy her mother’s wishes, the consequences could be quite severe.

That’s why she didn’t dare to defy her at all.

At this moment, Luo Fei also answered with a stern face.

"Lin Shuyao, I understand what you mean. You also rest assured, the police will fully investigate this matter, with no negligence whatsoever. We also guarantee that no one will ever harm you again, not even a single finger. Regardless of who they are, they cannot hurt you, nor can they bully you anymore. I can guarantee that."

Seeing Luo Fei speak with such conviction.

Lin Shuyao was somewhat incredulous.

"Mr. Luo, you’re actually willing to help me. But isn’t this kind of bad? What if this matter ruins the relationship between my mom and me, that would be very troublesome..."

Lin Shuyao said, becoming quite embarrassed.

But Luo Fei firmly replied.

"Lin Shuyao, you can rest easy on this point."

"Though she is your mother, and that’s true, she is also your guardian who should be responsible for you. It’s not an excuse for her to use violence against you casually. So please rest assured, we the police will fully investigate this matter, ensuring that no one will have the opportunity to harm you or even touch a single finger of yours again."

Looking at Luo Fei’s sincerity.

Lin Shuyao was immediately filled with gratitude.

"Mr. Luo, thank you very much."

"But I also worry that my mom might hate me... so I don’t plan to discuss this face-to-face with her. As for the subsequent investigation, I’ll leave it to you."

Seeing Lin Shuyao’s sincerity.

Luo Fei quickly reassured.

"Miss Lin, rest assured, we have arrangements."

As he spoke, Luo Fei had already dialed Lin Shufen’s phone number.

Almost simultaneously, the other end answered with somewhat expectant.

"Mr. Luo, how is it going? How’s your investigation?"

At that moment, Lin Shufen was indeed somewhat eager, but also anxious.

However, Luo Fei’s face turned stern, and he said seriously.

"Lin Shufen, not to accuse you, but you have some nerve."

Hearing these words, Lin Shufen was taken aback.

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this, I’m a bit confused?"

Although Lin Shufen looked confused.

Luo Fei was unequivocal.

"Lin Shufen, isn’t this obvious? You’re still trying to play dumb with me?"

"Why don’t you come to the police station later and tell me in detail how you interact with your daughter and what you’ve done to her?"

Luo Fei’s question shocked Lin Shufen even more.

"Mr. Luo, you’re joking."

"Of course not, I am serious. You’d better come to the police station in person and explain to me why your daughter’s body has scars."

???

"Scars, Mr. Luo, what are you talking about, I’m kind of clueless?"

Luo Fei heard the shock in her voice.

He remained indifferent.

"Lin Shufen, stop pretending with me. Do you think I don’t know that the marks on your daughter’s body were caused by you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shufen shuddered.

"Mr. Luo, what are you saying, what marks, I don’t know anything?"

"Ms. Lin, don’t explain now. Just come to the police station."

Luo Fei’s words left Lin Shufen agreeing out of helplessness.

"I understand, Mr. Luo, I’m sorry, my family issues have caused you so much trouble. I’m really sorry."

Lin Shufen spoke, then hung up the phone.

Almost simultaneously.

Lin Shuyao was already squatting on the ground, unable to keep from sobbing.

"Mr. Luo, I feel it’s all my fault... If I could have just listened to my mom obediently, then maybe she wouldn’t have hit me. We wouldn’t be where we are today."
