Chapter 258: Finding Someone to Date
Qiu Shanhe: "This is bad."
Duanmu Jin looked him up and down: "What are you planning on doing with my sister again?"
Qiu Shanhe: "You're overthinking it. Judging from the information on their phone, they must have known each other for a long time and have kept it a secret. Your sister is so young and probably doesn't know about that person. So I want to go to Ji Jihua's family and ask someone."
"Leave this to me. I know where their home is."
Then they drove to Ji Jihua's brother's house, which was located in the suburbs of Yangon, so it took quite some time.
When they first arrived, Ji Jihua's brother thought they were here to claim kinship and refused to let them in.
Later, after Duanmu Rong explained over the phone, her brother reluctantly opened the door and let them in.
Meeting someone for the first time is bound to be a little awkward.
Duanmu Jin: "Master Wu Shenghua, please accept my condolences for Second Mother's matter."
Wu Shenghua picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip.
"Calling her Master is too formal. Since you can call her Second Mother, then just call me Uncle. Didn't you come here just to comfort me today? Just tell me what you want to say."
Duanmu Jin: "Then I won't beat around the bush and tell you straight out. Uncle, do you know any other men Second Mother had relationships with before she married my father?"
Wu Shenghua threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Your second mother died and your whole family didn't call the police to find the murderer for her. Now you come to ask me if she has an old lover? I know my sister is not a good woman, but your father is not much better. If we hadn't been anxious to help your family, we wouldn't have let Ji Jihua marry into your family as a concubine. Now that she's dead, do you want to take advantage of her failure to give birth to a son and swallow up the family property that Rongrong deserves? I tell you, as long as I am alive, I will not let you treat Rongrong like this."
Duanmu Jin: "Uncle, you misunderstood. The reason we want to find this person is because we saw this. We suspect he is the murderer of Second Mother."
He placed Ji Jihua's phone on the coffee table. Wu Shenghua was furious when he saw it: "This is really embarrassing."
Qiu Shanhe: "Master, do you know this person?"
Wu Shenghua: "I know that Ji Jihua was with him before she married Duanmu. I thought that after she married Duanmu, their bad relationship would naturally end. I didn't expect that they still kept in touch behind the scenes."
Qiu Shanhe: "Who is he?"
Wu Shenghua: "You can't touch him. He is the Hongtai who annihilated Bosang last time."
Duanmu Jin: "What? It's him?"
Wu Shenghua: "It must be him."
Duanmu Jin: "Thank you, uncle, for telling us this. We'll leave first."
Wu Shenghua: "Duanmu Jin, I'm telling you, this matter can't be investigated further. To be frank, my sister's death was her own fault. Although the dead are the greatest, the living are more important. I don't want you to implicate all of us for a Ji Ji flower."
Duanmu Jin: "Don't worry, uncle, I will know my limits."
Wu Shenghua: "I'm afraid you're just a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger. From now on, you have to discuss everything with your father, okay?"
Duanmu Jin nodded and left Wu Shenghua's house with Qiu Shanhe.
Qiu Shanhe was listening to songs leisurely in the car, completely ignoring Duanmu Jin who was sitting next to him with a sullen face the whole time.
Suddenly Duanmu Jin took off his earplugs.
"The murderer hasn't been caught yet, how can you still have the nerve to listen to music?"
Qiu Shanhe asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Hey, why don't you let me listen to the music? Didn't your uncle tell you to just forget about it? Why are you still brooding over this?"
Duanmu Jin: "Just because he says so is enough? I don't want to. I want to move Hongtai."
Qiu Shanhe also became interested when he heard this: "How come you, a softie, finally got wise?"
Duanmu Jin: "I'm not a pushover, nor am I a hopeless person. I just want them to see what I can do."
Qiu Shanhe looked at his tenacious gaze and then silently turned off his phone.
"Are you going back to report the situation to your father now?"
"No, if I tell him he'll stop me from investigating, just like Wu Shenghua."
"Why do you continue investigating if you already know the outcome?"
"To prove myself, I'm also doing this for Rongrong. If I don't investigate further, no one will care about this matter anymore. Rongrong won't be able to avenge her mother alone, and she will never be at peace. So I have to handle this matter properly."
Qiu Shanhe: "You finally did what a man should do. Well, since you are so determined, I will definitely help you, my future brother-in-law. Come, let's go meet Bo Sang first."
Duanmu Jin: "Really? Go find Bo Sang now?"
Qiu Shanhe: "I'm not asking you to go now to break up with him, but to test his attitude and build a good relationship with him."
Duanmu Jin: "Is this possible?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Don't you believe me?"
Duanmu Jin: "I really don't dare to believe you."
"I don't care whether you believe it or not, you have to go find Bo Sang now. Otherwise I will grab your steering wheel again." He pretended to force Duanmu Jin to stop the car.
Duanmu Jin gestured to him to stop.
"He's a general, usually in the army, so it's hard to see him. I'll find a way to arrange a meeting with him at the Sky Blue Casino through an intermediary. That way it won't seem too abrupt."
Qiu Shanhe: "I'll trust you this time."
The two of them drove back to the Tianlan Casino. This time, they went straight up and asked for Zhang Fanxi. When the maids in the casino saw that it was Duanmu Jin, they didn't dare to stop them and let them go to the VIP room on the second floor.
When Zhang Fanxi saw that it was Duanmu Jin and the others who came, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He thought that Duanmu Jin felt that he was not cruel enough last time, so he came to seek revenge again this time.
Qiu Shanhe: "So he's a pretty boy? He's quite handsome, no wonder your second mother was willing to be his temporary lover."
Zhang Fanxi: "Who is this?"
Qiu Shanhe: "Don't bother with me, I'm just a passerby."
Zhang Fanxi: "Then why did Master Duanmu come here this time? If you are bothering me again about that matter, I can only say sorry to you again. Even if you beat me to death, it won't change anything."
Duanmu Jin: "I'm not here to cause you any trouble this time. I've put that matter behind me. I'm here to ask for your help."
Zhang Fanxi: "You said, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best to help."
Duanmu Jin: "I want you to help me invite General Hongtai to the Tianlan Casino. I want to meet him."
Zhang Fanxi: "I can help with this matter, but I don't understand. Doesn't Master Duanmu have a better relationship with General Hongtai? Why did you ask me to invite him here?"
Duanmu Jin: "Obviously, I don't want him to know about this."
Zhang Fanxi: "Why don't you want Master Duanmu to know? Do you want to touch Hongtai? He was the one who killed Ji Jihua?"
Duanmu Jin: "Don't be so nosy, just ask if you can help me or not?"
Zhang Fanxi: "Of course I will help me, but this is a serious matter. I don't know what your plans are. I believe you are very clear about who Hongtai is. If you are not careful, you might hurt yourself. Then even your father won't be able to save you."
