Chapter 585: Before One’s Downfall, One Must First Go Mad!

After making several consecutive phone calls.

Chen Xiao finally started returning into the house.

However, Lin Xi’s last words were still remembered by him.

The Qi Family remains a hidden threat.

Rather than passive defense.

It’s better to take the initiative to attack.

But if Chen Xiao himself were to strike, the other party might be on guard.

Thus, in Chen Xiao’s mind, there is actually a very suitable candidate.

And that candidate will ultimately come into contact with Chen Xiao!

Putting aside the plan in his mind for now, Chen Xiao returns to Zhu Nianying’s home.

Her parents evidently have been persuaded quite a bit.

Zhu the Third also appears a bit excited, quickly approaching Chen Xiao and saying:

"Boss, Uncle Six and Auntie have agreed, any questions you ask, if they know the answers, they’ll surely tell you!"

Chen Xiao nodded, looking at the two elderly and said:

"Actually, I’ve asked the question before, around the time of Zhu Nianying’s disappearance, did your family receive any money transfer? Or did Zhu Nianying contact you in the past few years trying to mend the relationship?"

The two elderly hadn’t spoken yet.

Zhu Nianhong chimed in first: "That’s impossible, how could Yingzi possibly send them money and even less likely to mend things... ."

Before finished speaking, Chen Xiao’s eyes had already signaled over.

However, Zhu Nianhong didn’t look at Chen Xiao, instead, she herself was unable to continue speaking.

Because the faces of the two elderly were clearly off!

"She... ." Zhu Nianying’s mother hesitated, looking tentatively at her husband.

Chen Xiao immediately said sternly: "Sirs, things have reached this point, what can’t be spoken of? Is it related to your son’s death?"

The two elderly slightly lifted their heads.

Clearly, Chen Xiao was once again correct!

Zhu Nianhong was shocked, but Zhu the Third seemed to think of something and exclaimed:

"Can it be! Wasn’t Ah Bing doing business outside and made some money? Could that money have been sent by Yingzi!"

Chen Xiao immediately looked at Zhu the Third, who replied:

"This was years ago; at that time, Ah Bing had just entered society. He reportedly contracted a concrete road with a big boss outside, earning hundreds of thousands!"

"Because of that money, Ah Bing was really in the spotlight during that time."

As he spoke, Zhu the Third seemed to realize much: "It’s like starting from that time he got hooked on drinking alcohol!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Nianying’s father suddenly clenched his fists and said with a deep voice.

"Exactly six years ago, Old Yao told us Old San had made a fortune outside. We were also pushed by Old Yao, so we called Old San and asked her to send money home, otherwise, we’d tell Chang Quezi where she was!"

"Just like that, Old San quickly sent back 20,000 yuan to Old Yao. Having the money, Old Yao started being idle, drinking heavily outside every day. Later, when the 20,000 yuan was not enough, Old Yao continued to ask Old San for money."

"Slowly, Old San must have sent back around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and Old Yao no longer seemed like a normal person. He even drowned in the river due to drinking last year!"

Nobody knows how much savings Zhu Nianying has outside!

But if Zhu Nianying worked and saved normally, she couldn’t have sent tens and hundreds of thousands to her younger brother in the 2000s!

If she could send that much money, it indicates that she had several times, even ten times more savings than that!

Yet looking at the two grieving elderly, another thought suddenly emerged in Chen Xiao’s mind.

"Elderly, each time Zhu Nianbing asked Zhu Nianying for money, she just gave it? Didn’t she ever resist?"

"She dared not! She is our own, I called her personally; would she dare refuse?!"

From these words, it’s evident that Zhu Nianying’s father always has deep prejudice against his third daughter.

Even as they spent their third daughter’s money, they still considered her rebellious.

But hearing that Zhu Nianying didn’t resist, Chen Xiao basically confirmed that before the incident, she must have had wealth exceeding several million!

And if she sent money home without any resistance, it possibly indicates another cause.

That is, before destroying someone, first drive them insane!

If Zhu Nianying harbored such an idea, indeed she succeeded.

The younger brother met a tragic end.

The parents are left with no support.

Considering her childhood experiences, it fits the behavior style of the later character-changed Zhu Nianying.

However, Zhu Nianbing’s incident happened back in 2005.

By that time, Zhu Nianying had already been missing for five years.

Therefore, Zhu Nianbing’s fate might have resulted due to Zhu Nianying, but her disappearance is likely unrelated to the incident.

Moreover, the money Zhu Nianying had was mostly not used by Zhu Nianbing; a large part of it remains unaccounted for.

The whereabouts of that remaining sum might unlock the mystery of Zhu Nianying’s disappearance.

Yet how to trace the money’s path to find its destination?

Can the existence of that money exclude Zhu Nianying’s disappearance being an unrelated random event?

Chen Xiao’s mind already had a clear understanding of this in just a brief moment.

He looked at Zhu Nianhong and said: "Second Sister Zhu, I’ve asked all the questions I needed, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take you home first."

Zhu Nianhong appeared somewhat lost.

It seems she is unable to process that Zhu Nianying had been sending money to the family all this time.

Chen Xiao didn’t explain much to Zhu Nianhong, ready to head outside.

Just as Chen Xiao took a step, Zhu Nianying’s parents attempted to grab his wrist.

Old Gui was quick-eyed and blocked Chen Xiao in front and said sternly: "What are you two up to!"

"Just now you said answer all your questions and Hong would care for us in our old age, right!"

"You’re the police, you must keep your word, or I’ll complain to your superior!"

Listening to this, Chen Xiao chuckled.

Glancing at Zhu Nianhong, Chen Xiao asked: "Second Sister Zhu, this is your family matter, handle it yourself."

Zhu Nianhong coldly glanced at her parents and turned away.

Seeing this, the two elderly immediately became enraged: "We’re going to your superior, we’re going to report you!"

Chen Xiao ignored them.

He has a notoriously poor memory, frequently forgetting things he said before.

Old Gui blocked the two elderly who tried to pull a trick, whereas Chen Xiao brought Zhu Nianhong to the car first.

After a while, Old Gui returned and asked:

"President Chen, do we drive Second Sister Zhu home first?"

"Yes, after sending Second Sister Zhu, we should head back."

Speaking, Chen Xiao placed the phone down.

He just finished composing a text message.

It’s time to head back to Shencheng City and continue investigating the mystery of Zhu Nianying’s disappearance!
