Chapter 95 "Liu Ruyan"
Zhang Mo could imagine how, after hanging up the phone, the son-in-law racked his brains to collude with the second fake son to deceive Dong Shuchen, making her cut off all contact with the outside world and ensuring that he could never find her.
Then they began to transfer assets at breakneck speed.
However, considering how useless this man is, at least Dong Shuchen's life is not in danger.
After all, if he really had the guts and cunning to kill someone, he should have done it during the long six years that Dong Shuchen was tormented to the point of mental breakdown. Why wait until now?
Ultimately, it's because he finally realized that he was a complete failure at making money, and that without Dong Shuchen managing Ping An Real Estate, the company would have been doomed sooner or later.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Mo lazily rolled over on the soft, cloud-like bed in the five-star hotel and clicked on a profile picture.
The profile picture only showed three large, blood-stained characters: Catch! Mistress!
Her nickname is "Detective Jin Jie".
Considering it was too late, Zhang Mo didn't make a phone call, but instead sent a message: "Are you there? Get back to me when you're awake."
As a result, the other party replied instantly.
Detective Jin Jie: Momo Momo Momo Momo Momo Momo Momo Momo, my dear Momo!
Detective Jin Jie: Long time no see, what's up? Have you had time to run some dungeons lately?
Sister Jin was a temporary teammate that Zhang Mo met while carpooling when she played "murder mystery games" a couple of years ago.
She is a private investigator who specializes in investigating mistresses.
It's not that Zhang Mo can't do the research herself, but everyone has their own area of expertise, and Sister Jin is the professional in this area.
That carpooling experience remains a legend in the world of murder mystery games to this day.
They were all just random players who randomly paired up, but somehow they won some big prize that day. In this advanced mystery game with six players, they ended up with two police officers, two lawyers, a programmer, and a private investigator.
And they were all women.
Zhang Mo clearly remembers that on that day, she, along with two criminal police officers and two lawyers, had just listed out the sixth possibility.
Sister Jin, all by herself, analyzed the melodramatic and outrageous illicit love entanglement spanning three generations of a family, through descriptions of the interactions between the characters.
The five of them: "..."
That's what you call professional!
The final result was that, in the later stages of the interview, the DM (host) (ps: male) broke down under their interrogation.
After finishing, she cried and told the store manager that she would never host mystery games again and would only bring romance games from now on.
For a long time afterward, whenever they went to that store, the store manager always had a slightly resentful expression on his face...
Zhang Mo: Not asleep?
Detective Jin Jie: No, I'm watching a TV series. It's a new American crime drama, and they've already shown fourteen corpses in just two episodes. It's so entertaining!
Zhang Mo: Do you have time to take a break?
Detective Jin Jie: What kind of work could a single person like you possibly have for me?
Zhang Mo: Help me find out about a man who cheated on me.
Detective Jin Jie: !!!
Detective Jin: You've found a boyfriend?!
Detective Kim: (Why not consider me?!!) Okay, that's not the point.
Detective Jin Jie: The point is, he still dared to cheat on you even after we'd already come looking for him! He's blind as an 18k titanium alloy dog!
Detective Jin: Give me the information!!! I'm going to find out everything about his shameful deeds since he was three years old!!!
Zhang Mo: ......
Zhang Mo: Stop messing around, it wasn't me, I don't have a boyfriend.
Detective Jin: Oh (instantly calms down)
Detective Jin: Please continue.
Zhang Mo: There's nothing more to say. I'll just tell you three words: "Xiang Si Nian" (相斯年).
Detective Jin Jie: Oh, I knew the commotion you caused on the trending topics was something special.
Zhang Mo: Focus on a woman who is with a 17-year-old boy.
Detective Jin: Okay, wait for my message.
.
That's what you call professional.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Sister Jin sent over the investigation report.
Zhang Mo opened the PDF while talking on the phone with Sister Jin: "200 MB? How many people are in that?"
Sister Jin: "It's alright, there are only 5 women, but there are a lot of pictures."
Sister Jin: "This man is actually quite cautious, but these women are not at all guarded, so it's easy to investigate. After all, the internet leaves a trace."
After spinning around for a while, the file was finally opened. Zhang Mo glanced at it, and the first page was from an internet celebrity female anchor: "19 years old, and you've been together for two years? Xiang Sinian is 42 this year, isn't he? How disgusting."
Sister Jin: "...The person you're looking for, I saved for last. Sigh, once you see that, you'll know what true disgust is."
Zhang Mo didn't understand and quickly slid to the last page.
Then she froze: "32 years old? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Yesterday I was talking about a woman with a 17-year-old boy."
Sister Jin sighed: "No mistake, this is it."
Zhang Mo: "......"
For a moment, Zhang Mo doubted her mental arithmetic abilities.
32-17? Is it 15?
Sister Jin: "Torture, perhaps?"
Zhang Mo: "".
Giving birth at 15? That's outrageous!
"Liu Ruyan." Zhang Mo slowly read out the name, paused for a second, and then said, "I know it might be a little impolite of me to ask this, but is this her real name?"
Sister Jin: "Of course not, I changed it when I was 18. But I haven't found out what my original name was yet. I'm just reporting it to you now."
Without a doubt, Xiang Sinian forced her to change it.
Zhang Mo let out a long sigh.
Hopefully, this time, more than one person will find redemption.
.
Zhang Mo immediately set off to pick up Yu Hui and Xiao Tao, and they took the next available flight to Dali, Yunnan.
That is, the current location of "Liu Ruyan".
As for why he brought these two along, it's because who knows if Xiang Sinian will send a bodyguard to "Liu Ruyan's" side, and he needs military support.
Zhang Mo is so fragile, he can't act alone like a reckless fool.
However, I encountered a small problem when buying plane tickets: there were only two tickets left.
So, Yu Hui transformed himself and revealed his true form.
It's a small, fluffy, gray ball with a very short tail; at first glance, it looks like a cute cell phone charm.
Zhang Mo laughed for a while and then arranged for his pet to be shipped. She filled in "hamster" on the form.
The next morning, Zhang Mo saw "Liu Ruyan" in front of a flower shop.
According to the information provided by Sister Jin, "Liu Ruyan" is the owner of this flower shop. However, the actual investor is Xiang Sinian.
At the entrance of the small shop surrounded by flowers, "Liu Ruyan" sits on a wooden bench, looking as if she has stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting.
She was slender, and a moon-white cheongsam perfectly accentuated her graceful curves. Her waist was so thin that it was almost unbelievable; an adult man could easily wrap his arm around it.
Her long, ink-black hair was loosely tied up, with a few stray strands falling beside her fair neck. Her eyebrows resembled spring mountains shrouded in mist, and her eyes were like autumn waters brimming with affection, yet they also concealed a faint sadness, a sadness like wisps of smoke, evoking pity in the heart.
Just as Zhang Mo had imagined, this was a woman entirely created from a male perspective.
From name to physique to appearance.
White, young, slender, gentle and graceful, fragile as a bird in the wind, without any aggression.
Dali, a romantic city, has a large temperature difference.
When the sun is strong, the temperature may be in the 20s, but now it's only 4 or 5 degrees. "Liu Ruyan" is wearing a thin cheongsam. She looks beautiful, but it's not healthy at all.
Sure enough, two burly men dressed in black were keeping watch from a corner not far away.
Zhang Mo told Yu Hui and Xiao Tao to deal with the two people, and then walked towards the flower shop.
As she reached the door, "Liu Ruyan" looked up at her, forced a smile, and asked, "Is there anything you need?" Her voice was as gentle as her name.
Zhang Mo looked at her and asked, "You're not wearing tights, right? Aren't you cold?"
Liu Ruyan paused for a moment, realizing that the other person was indeed concerned about her, before slowly saying, "It is a bit cold, but I'm not used to wearing that. His... family said it's ugly."
Zhang Mo laughed: "What about long johns?"
Liu Ruyan rarely spoke to anyone, but finding the beautiful stranger in front of her quite pleasing to the eye, she chimed in, "Even uglier."
Zhang Mo shrugged: "I've never been in a relationship, but I think someone who won't even let you wear long johns probably doesn't love you that much."
Liu Ruyan smiled faintly: "Little girl, not everyone has the freedom to talk about love."
Zhang Mo sat down next to her, looking at the free white clouds in the distance: "You've already given birth to twins for Xiang Sinian, and you won't even give me this much freedom?"
