Chapter 579: That’s Strange, a Choice Between Two!

"Who is President Zhuang?"

When Huang Zhao’s memory came flooding back so quickly.

Chen Xiao increasingly felt that Kang Mao might have truly misunderstood something!

And based on Zhu Nianying’s temperament.

She might lash out once doubted by someone she trusts!

After all, the more resilient a person is, the more stubborn they tend to be.

The more stubborn a person is, the more likely they are to overreact.

"President Zhuang is from Hai City, he’s been managing his family’s business, also one of those with a large family fortune."

"Perhaps he was too overworked in his earlier years, and suffered persecution from enemies, so he would come to me for treatment now and then. Nianying was still around those years, and he quite liked Nianying."

"Liked? What do you mean?"

"Uh, he listened to what I said about Nianying and felt her qualities were commendable. So, after ensuring Nianying received some real training from me, he gradually felt comfortable allowing Nianying to replace me in treating him."

Huang Zhao explained.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then said, "How long does each treatment approximately last?"

"Let me think, back in the day... an hour or two perhaps! You know I am old, so it’s tough for me to complete such treatments on my own."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a bit helpless.

However, he didn’t rush to a conclusion.

"Besides being your patient, does that old gentleman have any other relationship with Zhu Nianying?"

After saying this, Chen Xiao knew Huang Zhao had already grown suspicious, so he promptly said:

"I understand you must be curious about why I’m focused on their relationship, but does your curiosity mean they have no other relationship?"

"Yes, what relationship could they have?"

"But I heard that Zhu Nianying admitted to having an abnormal relationship with President Zhuang."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could they have an abnormal relationship!" Huang Zhao replied without hesitation.

Huang Zhao was extremely confident in his tone.

"Elder Huang, why are you so sure?"

"Of course I am sure, because Nianying always brings back complete treatment notes. You tell me if they had any abnormal relationship, where would the time for notes come from?"

Chen Xiao paused, asking, "How old is President Zhuang now?"

"He passed away two years ago, at the age of eighty-one! Mr. Xiaochen, by 2000, President Zhuang was already seventy-seven, what man at that age still has that capability?"

This question directly stumped Chen Xiao.

Indeed.

A seventy-seven-year-old old man.

Where would he find the strength to engage in such matters with a girl in her twenties?

Chen Xiao smiled wryly: "I seem to have indeed ignored this point."

"Hey, you can’t be blamed for that, after all, you weren’t certain of President Zhuang’s actual age."

Chen Xiao affirmed with a sound.

He hadn’t actually asked Kang Mao, and had been uncertain about the old man’s age being with Zhu Nianying.

Yet, thinking it over, anyone could subconsciously think of this issue, couldn’t Kang Mao?

Or is it that Zhu Nianying and President Zhuang might find it difficult to have an actual romantic relationship, but their behavior already exceeds normal relationships?

"What a pity, President Zhuang has passed away, otherwise I might be able to chat with him." Chen Xiao regretted.

Huang Zhao thought about it, said: "Should we contact his family? I’ve treated President Zhuang many times, they might be accommodating, but Mr. Xiaochen, don’t ask them questions like the ones just now!"

Chen Xiao laughed: "Elder Huang, I wouldn’t have such low emotional intelligence! But you do remind me, these kinds of questions are indeed unsuitable to ask his family."

"When President Zhuang came to Shencheng City each time, he should’ve had a driver, right?"

"Yes, I have always kept the contact of that driver! Yes, yes, you see my response, contacting his driver is better! Moreover, he is still working for the Zhuang Family, should I find a reason to summon him to you?"

"No, communicate well with him first, then contact me, no need to go back and forth."

"Okay, so let’s leave it at that?"

"Alright, I’ll wait for his call."

Chen Xiao said as both hung up the phone.

However, after hanging up, Chen Xiao didn’t rush back to the cafeteria, instead motioned for Kang Mao to come out once more.

The latter quickly walked to the front, asked: "What’s up, Advisor Chen?"

"How old was the old man you saw?"

"Very old, probably in his seventies."

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but look at Kang Mao: "For someone knowledgeable, I want to ask you, how many men at seventy have that kind of capability?"

Kang Mao seemed unsurprised by Chen Xiao’s question, said solemnly:

"Seems Advisor Chen already knows who that old man is, but she indeed told me directly they have a relationship!"

"And the old man, despite being so rich, had his health collapse in his sixties and seventies because of too many things of this nature!"

"What did Zhu Nianying gain from him?"

"I don’t know, but Zhu Nianying said she received money, money she could never have dreamed of in her lifetime!"

Chen Xiao frowned: "I thought about the financial aspect too, but from the police investigation records then, there were economic investigation records of her. Her bank account had some money, but that should’ve been just her salary."

"If there were significant sums in and out, it would surely leave traces!"

Kang Mao shook his head: "I don’t know, she told me this directly. Back then, she said she just a little more, and she could live in a villa in a big city!"

"Once she had a big villa, she could drive a nice car. If she could outlast her mentor, her job would no longer be a worry, everything would turn for the best!"

After hearing Kang Mao’s words.

Chen Xiao felt he couldn’t discern who was truly telling the truth.

Huang Zhao was very certain that there was no abnormal romantic relationship between Zhu Nianying and President Zhuang!

But Kang Mao insisted that Zhu Nianying directly admitted having an abnormal relationship with President Zhuang.

And claimed she gained a significant income from it!

Both were very sure.

However, if thought about seriously, Huang Zhao’s words were directly spoken by himself.

While Kang Mao’s certainty comes from Zhu Nianying’s information.

If choosing between the two, which would provide more accurate information.

It would undoubtedly be Huang Zhao!

Because Kang Mao’s statements are hard to verify now.

Firstly, President Zhuang passed away two years ago.

Secondly, he mentioned Zhu Nianying receiving a large reward.

But where did that reward go?

Chen Xiao quietly thought about it, the dilemma of this two-choice question in his mind was starting to unsettle him!
