She mumbled in her defense, "I also feel that adopting a child of unknown origin is not appropriate. I asked Che Chi who the child's biological parents were, but Che Chi refused to tell me. Besides, he said that if I helped raise the child well, I would get a monthly salary."
No wonder Lin Fengxia agreed to let Che Xiaofeng stay. It was because she was blinded by money.
But I still have a question in my mind: "If you can get the money just by taking good care of Che Xiaofeng, then why did you suddenly abandon them and their son and leave three years ago?"
"That's just a small amount of money!" Lin Fengxia said with disdain. "Che Chi is such a stingy person. I owed gambling debts, and he didn't even help me pay them back. The money I get from taking care of the children every month isn't enough to even cover a fraction of my bills. I have no choice but to go out and find another way to make money."
Mingyuan had learned during his previous investigation that Lin Fengxia was addicted to gambling and would often leave the gambling table only after losing everything.
I guess Che Chi didn't want to fill her bottomless pit anymore, so he broke up with her and divorced her.
Therefore, Che Xiaofeng only stayed with Lin Fengxia for ten years, and then he followed Che Chi on the sea.
"Ever since you met Che Chi, has Che Chi been a ship worker? Then he should make a lot of money every month, right?" Mingyuan asked tentatively.
Ship workers can earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, but from Che Xiaofeng's account, their lives are not that good.
When asked this question, Lin Fengxia did not speak as quickly as before. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and looked at us cautiously.
Mingyuan immediately saw through her thoughts and warned her in a low voice: "I'm telling you, you'd better not try to hide it. Tell the truth. Otherwise, just based on that text message you sent to Che Xiaofeng, he is now in this state, and you can't escape responsibility. I can also put you in jail for harboring someone!"
Lin Fengxia's eyes flickered and she felt guilty.
Perhaps realizing we were not easy to mess with, Lin Fengxia frankly confessed, "Che Chi wasn't actually working on a ship all year round. Shipping cargo was just a name. He was actually working for some organization. I only discovered this later."
"Then you haven't questioned him?" I asked in confusion. I always felt that Lin Fengxia and Che Chi were not like a normal couple at all.
Lin Fengxia didn't find out Che Chi's actual work identity until several years after they got married.
However, Lin Fengxia didn't care at all.
"I married him because he had some savings. But he was away from home all year round, and I couldn't help but feel lonely, so I gradually fell in love with playing cards. Later I found out that he was part of a certain organization, but I didn't care. Anyway, as long as he was not at home, no one would bother me when I went out to play."
Such a marriage is simply a tragedy.
Needless to say, we have long suspected that Che Chi is a member of Mr.'s organization, and all of Che Chi's actions are controlled by Yan Meng.
I was suddenly startled.
Since Che Chi obeys Yan Meng's orders, could it be that Che Xiaofeng was given to Che Chi to raise by Yan Meng?
Is there any other relationship between Che Xiaofeng and Yan Meng?
But I quickly dismissed my suspicions.
Thirteen years ago, Yan Meng was only seventeen years old and still a minor.
What's more, Lou Xiaoyun had just passed away at that time, and Yan Meng's own life was in trouble. How could he have money to pay Che Chi's salary?
