Chapter 614: Fake, All of It Is Fake?

"That's impossible!"

"I've never heard of Nianying having any boyfriend!"

"Yes, when she was younger she had some flirtation with a few boys, but that was just youthful ignorance."

"Ever since she apprenticed with me, I've never seen her with any men around!"

"And I'm very sure, Nianying is a girl who maintains her integrity, she views her happiness and marriage as more important than anything!"

Huang Zhao's words were resolute.

Chen Xiao sighed: "Elder Huang is also knowledgeable in medicine, and surely you are proficient in the study of bones in traditional Chinese medicine; given that the female corpse is completely skeletonized, if you examined it carefully, couldn't you see she had been pregnant?"

"That female corpse is only half likely to be Nianying!"

"Yes, but Master Liu told me personally he took Zhu Nianying to have the abortion!"

At this moment, Huang Zhao's eyes widened again.

However, when he reacted, he roared in anger: "That Liu Da, has he lost all sense of propriety and shame? How old is Nianying, how old is he, yet he dared to humiliate Nianying like that!"

Huang Zhao is an accomplished old Chinese medicine doctor.

When Chen Xiao interacted with him, although the elder was advanced in age, his mind was still very clear.

So when Chen Xiao spoke those words, Huang Zhao knew inside that Chen Xiao must have solid evidence to say so.

If Chen Xiao had evidence, then it means Zhu Nianying really had been pregnant.

And it was Master Liu who took her for the abortion.

No need to wonder, the person who made Zhu Nianying pregnant must be that shameless driver!

That's why he's furious, his expression looked as if he could tear Master Liu apart!

"Master Liu told me the child Zhu Nianying was carrying was President Zhuang's."

Chen Xiao calmly dropped another bombshell.

Originally yelling that he would confront Master Liu, Huang Zhao froze again at this moment.

He truly froze.

Like his mind went blank.

Not knowing what to say, even more unsure of what to do.

He stared dumbfounded at Chen Xiao until Chen Xiao spoke:

"In my investigation, Zhu Nianying treated President Zhuang many, many times; I think Elder Huang can't deny this, right?"

Huang Zhao nodded numbly.

"And each time Zhu Nianying treated him, the time after treatment should have been enough to do something, right?"

"Yes, but... but how could President Zhuang, at his age, Nianying possibly...?"

Huang Zhao was already struggling to form a complete sentence.

Chen Xiao paid attention to every shift in Huang Zhao's emotions.

Yet, the more he observed, the more his inner turmoil swirled.

All of Huang Zhao's emotions erupted naturally.

Such shifts in emotion, even a top actor performing before him he should discern.

Unless Huang Zhao's acting surpassed those seasoned actors, there's no way he could fool Chen Xiao's eyes.

Pausing, Chen Xiao began to hesitate.

He pondered whether to concoct a plausible story to further probe.

But as soon as the thought arose, he dismissed it.

He cannot make it too obvious.

If Huang Zhao has an issue, facing him would mean confronting not a kind older doctor, but an extremely cunning and terrifying individual!

So asking too many questions might startle the snake in the grass.

Huang Zhao remained deeply shocked by the unfolding revelations.

Chen Xiao then said: "Elder Huang, you must not go and verify these matters with Master Liu, I promised him confidentiality."

"Alright, I won't confront him. But, Mr. Xiaochen, I can't accept these things. You know, in my heart, Nianying's image is solid; she absolutely couldn't..."

Huang Zhao didn't finish his sentence.

He couldn't go on.

Yet, unbeknownst to him, the silent Chen Xiao felt a sense of being touched in his mind at this moment!

This feeling for a detective, is like he's on the verge of acquiring a treasure.

Chen Xiao didn't continue observing Huang Zhao or pondering Zhu Nianying.

His mind full of tangled complexities, he reached out to grasp the thread that moved him!

[Huang Zhao said he wouldn't seek out Master Liu. But, Huang Zhao couldn't accept the fact that Zhu Nianying was pregnant.]

[Indeed, from Huang Zhao's perspective, Zhu Nianying was an innocent, resilient, studious, exemplary child.]

[His refusal to accept is the most normal reaction!]

[Yet, why do I feel there's a problem with these words? Where is the problem? Is it in a specific word?]

[Is it the wording? The words seem fine.]

[Is it the information in the statements? There are two main points: one, he won't verify with Master Liu, two, he doesn't believe Zhu Nianying is that type of person!]

[Wait! Zhu Nianying herself!]

[Wait! I feel like I'm about to grasp that feeling!]

[The key lies in Zhu Nianying herself!]

[I suspect Huang Zhao has issues! If he does, everything he tells me should be tagged as questionable!]

[Yes, if he has issues, then every word he's spoken and every person he's told me about should be questioned!]

[Who told me Zhu Nianying intended to take over Huang Zhao's clinic and got pregnant with President Zhuang's child?]

[It was Master Liu!]

[Who informed me about Master Liu's existence?]

[It was Huang Zhao!]

[Because of this information, I've never verified if President Zhuang's driver Master Liu is the one I think he is!]

[Could all of this be false!?]

Once he untangled everything, Chen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He knows how he should communicate with Huang Zhao next!

"Elder Huang, I feel I shouldn't easily trust any single person's words either. But sometimes things force me to believe. And in my investigation, Kang Mao also disclosed some information to me. What Kang Mao revealed actually corroborates the fact that Zhu Nianying was pregnant with President Zhuang's child."

Chen Xiao spoke, prompting Huang Zhao to immediately ask: "What did he say?"

"Before Zhu Nianying's incident, Kang Mao came looking for Zhu Nianying, as you also told me. Based on that, I deeply conversed with Kang Mao several times, he informed me that when Zhu Nianying met him, she exhibited a strong possessive desire toward your clinic."

"Her possessiveness suggests she no longer was the Zhu Nianying everyone imagined her to be. The prosperity of Shencheng City, the high-rise buildings probably already confused her within the steel and cement labyrinth of this city!"

After the exchange, Huang Zhao's emotions were already complex beyond description.

Chen Xiao sighed again and said: "Elder Huang, I know these words impact you significantly. But I hope you maintain rationality and calmness, only with enough reason and composure could you facilitate my ongoing investigation."

Huang Zhao didn't speak, seemingly stunned by the information Chen Xiao offered.

After a moment of waiting, all Chen Xiao could say was: "Elder Huang, I'll await, always welcome your thoughts that might assist me."

Once done, Chen Xiao didn't linger further.

Upon leaving Huang Zhao's clinic, he took out his phone and dialed Xiaoji.

"Did you have fun with the Black Cat? If so, it's time to get back to work!"
