Chapter 1376 - 682: Commonplace? Deceiving Feelings?

The middle-aged man felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing Luo Fei’s words.

"Officer, I didn’t expect you to know about this, it’s really quite embarrassing..."

He seemed a bit awkward.

But Luo Fei said,

"Sir, this sort of thing is quite common. I’ve seen it all before."

"However, since you have a wife, getting involved with Jiang Mei is risky. She might use it as leverage, accusing you of infidelity during marriage and deceiving her emotions, and expecting compensation. Isn’t that so?"

Luo Fei’s words left him silent for a moment.

"Officer, even if that’s the case, I’m actually willing to compensate, I can even say that I have no regrets and won’t complain at all."

"Because I liked Jiang Mei first. I just didn’t expect her to betray me and even do something outrageous."

At this point, Cao Wengang was deeply sorrowful, with a face full of grief and confusion.

He seemed very unhappy, as if he had experienced something terrible.

Then, the middle-aged man presented his chat history with Jiang Mei.

Upon seeing it, they had indeed discussed a lot.

Including the idea of divorce in the future, separating from his wife for her sake.

Luo Fei was enlightened.

"So, you really did like Jiang Mei?"

"Yes, she even had my child at the time, and I was very pleased. I hoped she could keep the child and we could live happily together later."

"I just didn’t expect her to tell me that she had slept with Wang Mingliang out of anger. Now she’s unsure if the child is really ours."

Upon hearing his words, Li Yu, standing by, was a bit skeptical.

"Sir, are you sure you’re telling the truth and not lying?"

"Why would I lie? She herself said it, that she and Wang Mingliang had a special relationship, and there were some secrets between them before. But she didn’t clarify the specifics to me."

Upon hearing Cao Wengang say this.

Li Yu exchanged a glance with Luo Fei.

"Is that so, did you notice any arguments between them before, or disputes over divided spoils?"

Then, Luo Fei explained the sequence of events.

Upon learning that a death occurred in this hotel shortly afterward, and it turned out to be a scam involving emotional manipulation,

Cao Wengang was quite terrified.

"Mr. Luo, that should be impossible. She works at my company during the day, and I also give her an extra 3,000 yuan monthly as basic living expenses."

"She wasn’t short of money, was she?"

At this moment,

Cao Wengang’s face turned pale, fearing he might encounter something similar.

He seemed incredulous.

But Luo Fei was indifferent.

"Things like this are hard to say, some people, driven by greed, or after adopting certain unhealthy consumption habits, might change themselves in some way. It’s quite normal."

Luo Fei’s words enlightened Cao Wengang.

"Does that mean she’s gone bad?"

At this moment,

Cao Wengang was caught off guard, truly not expecting the person he once loved so much to turn into someone he didn’t recognize at all.

His expression was complex, his mood seemingly a mix of emotions.

Luo Fei quickly comforted him.

"Mr. Cao, I understand your feelings. But dealing with such matters, regardless of experience, must be emotionally taxing."

His sincerity was evident.

Cao Wengang also remarked.

"Mr. Luo is right, but I definitely don’t intend to shelter her."

"I know my girlfriend’s habits; she’s the type that likes to overthink when alone. Even in trouble, she’d likely not solve it herself and try to seek help from others. Perhaps Wang Guangming assisted her somehow, and she feels indebted to him?"

Cao Wengang was hesitant as he spoke.

Looking as if he had more to say but held back.

Luo Fei also said.

"Mr. Cao, anyone who goes through this will likely feel unpleasant and emotionally unsettled."

His words reddened the man’s eyes and made his nose tingle.

"Officer, you’re right."

"I shouldn’t be lenient. And even if she encounters problems, I can take responsibility for caring for our child afterward, it’s only natural."

His determination was evident.

Luo Fei remained indifferent.

"You’re right, actually from my perspective, I recommend handling matters impartially."

"Otherwise, we police have reason to suspect your involvement in this affair. You might even be implicated."

Luo Fei sounded so serious.

Upon reaching this point, he was quite stern.

Cao Wengang also said.

"Officer, rest assured, I absolutely will not shelter anyone."

"Speaking of which, I have repeatedly asked Jiang Mei why she seemed so dejected."

"But she told me it was a tricky matter, and if I knew, it wouldn’t help her, might even get me into trouble. So I had no choice but to follow her lead."

Cao Wengang’s words surprised Luo Fei.
