He said this before walking out onto the terrace to listen to the call. Zige gripped the spoon in her hand tightly, the cold metal embedded in her flesh, painful and cold, like her heart at the moment.
Sitting on the bed Shang stared blankly at Lan Yu Feng’s back, his heart had an indescribable feeling of gratitude.
Luckily, he was there in this moment, the hardest time. If not for him, now she is simply at a loss for words …
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and folded in. Ziggy immediately asked, “What did they say? When can we claim my dad?”
“I’m afraid, uncle will have to stay at the police station for a while.” Lan Yu Feng’s complexion was a bit heavy.
“Why?”
“Uncle died of homicide. Last night, someone deliberately set fire to the warehouse.” At this point, Lan Yu Feng was telling the truth. Zhuo Zhenbang obviously took this scapegoat as Meng Yuhui, and didn’t even think that Meng Yuhui would be rescued from the warehouse.
“He killed?” Zige felt incredulous as she looked at Lan Yu Feng.
“Later, there will be police coming, they need to take another statement.”
“But my father was good-natured and always kind to people, who would be cruel enough to want to hurt them like that?”
Lan Yu Feng stood by the bedside, bent his head to look at her, and didn’t say much. Suddenly, only the voice of the housekeeper downstairs could be heard, “Sir, madam, a guest is coming!”
Guests?
Lan Yu Feng glanced at Zige, “Finish all your meals, I’ll go down first.”
Zi Ge nodded, so Lan Yu Feng turned around, took the door and went out. Looking at the table full of dishes, although it really was dad’s flavor, but, thinking of her father’s tragic death, and he killed him, where did Zi Ge have any appetite? Moving the food aside, she herself lifted the covers and got out of bed.
She never expected that the guest this time would be Geng Jing. Her father had already left, and seeing Geng Jing again at this time, Zi Ge’s heart was more or less touched with emotion.
Not wanting to see her again, Zi Ge turned around and was about to re-enter the room, but was caught by Geng Jing’s sharp eyes in a flash.
“Ms. Meng! You stand still!”
Lan Yu Feng’s brows furrowed tightly as he stared coldly at Geng Jing, speaking in a voice that only they could hear each other, “Don’t make a scene on my watch!”
Warn her not to make trouble. The fact that she would suddenly appear today had taken him by surprise.
“Don’t worry, I’m not making a scene, I just want to help you.” Geng Jing also whispered back.
Meng Zige didn’t know what they were saying at the bottom, and when she heard Geng Jing call out to her, she frowned and looked at her from above, “Is something wrong? We shouldn’t be familiar.”
“I heard about your father’s accident and I came to offer my condolences.”
Zi Ge’s hands, which were hanging down at her side, quietly squeezed tightly and coldly returned to her, “No need to bother you.”
“I came here today, besides condoling you, I also have something I want to tell you.” Geng Jing was completely unafraid of her cold face and spoke again.
Ziggy frowned slightly, “What is it?”
“Didn’t you ask me last time who paid me to get close to your dad? I can tell you now. Moreover, I know who is the real murderer who killed Meng Yuhui.”
Ziggy mused, and without more words, walked down the stairs.
On the side, Lan Yu Feng sat on the sofa and swept his cold eyes towards Geng Jing without moving. Although he didn’t say a word, the warning was more than obvious. When Zi Ge walked down, he sat there and waved at her, patting the seat on his side, “Come and sit.”
Ziggy sat down close to him, his scent giving her a sense of security and trust.
“First you tell me who hired you to be around my dad and why? Was it just to break up our family?” Ziggy was still furious at the mention of this. Her chest rose and fell hard because of her anger.
“Zhuo Zhenbang.” Geng Jing glanced at her and answered dryly.
“What?” Ziggy thought she had heard wrong.
“You heard right, it’s Zhuo Zhenbang. He’s the one who was the main culprit in destroying your family.” Geng Jing was once again certain.
Zige was confused for a moment, returned to her senses, looked sideways at Lan Yu Feng, and still asked uncertainly, “You … your father-in-law?”
“That was before.” He pursed his lips, and when he mentioned Zhuo Zhenbang, there was no trace of the warmth of a loved one on his face, only endless indifference. Lightly glancing at Geng Jing, he asked for Zige, “What was the reason? Why did Zhuo Zhenbang make you do this?”
He knowingly asked a question, yet he could not see a single trace of it. Geng Jing admired this man’s acting skills from the bottom of his heart.
“Meng Yuhui has a file that can put Zhuo Zhenbang to death. The file is full of evidence of Zhuo Zhenbang’s early economic crimes. Zhuo Zhenbang hired me to take this information from Meng Yuhui’s hands. However, Meng Yuhui is very vigilant, I can’t touch this at all.”
Evidence of a crime?
Zige’s mind searched desperately for memories of the past. This thing had never been mentioned by her father. But …
When she was a child, she wanted to touch her father’s computer, but he never let her touch it, only saying that there was something very important. Now that I think about it, Geng Jing’s words were not entirely unfounded.
“So, now what about that information?”
“It had already reached Zhuo Zhenbang. But Zhuo Zhenbang wasn’t comfortable with it, so” Geng Jing paused for a moment and looked at Zige, “he then took the hard way out and burned Meng Yuhui to death!”
“Zhuo Zhenbang?” Zi Ge’s brows furrowed, subconsciously, she didn’t want it to be him the man who gave birth to a daughter who looked exactly like herself …
She looked at Geng Jing with cold eyes, “Why should I believe you? Do you have proof?”
“It’s true that like you said, I don’t have any proof that Zhuo Zhenbang went to kill your father, but this, you can confirm in person.”
Ziggy frowned in disbelief.
Lan Yu Feng couldn’t help but glance at Geng Jing, he had always been good at scheming, but at the moment, he couldn’t even guess what kind of calculations Geng Jing was playing at the moment.
“You should know very well that you and Zhuo Yunruo look alike. How much Zhuo Zhenbang loves Zhuo Yunruo, this is something that Mr. Lan should know best. If you disguise yourself as Zhuo Yunruo to approach him, I believe that, not to mention finding out about him killing Meng Yuhui, even getting back that information about your father would be a breeze.” Geng Jing simply stated her thoughts.
“I disguised Zhuo Yunruo? But something has happened to Zhuo Yunruo.”
“Zhuo Zhenbang still thinks that his daughter is abroad right now, and he doesn’t know about all this.” Geng Jing said.
“My father’s copy, since Zhuo Zhenbang has already taken it away, it’s bound to have been destroyed, so I can still get it back?”
“Of course. That file has been locked by a hacker your father hired, and no one can crack it, delete it, open it, or copy it without your father’s ultimate password.”
Zi Ge very much wanted to find out the truth about her father’s inexplicable death, and besides, if Zhuo Zhen Bang had really committed so many crimes, he should also use her father’s share of information to make him get what he deserved, so she was naturally moved by Geng Jing’s proposal.
However, there were still a few wary moments in his heart, “Why did you have to come out of nowhere to talk to me so much? We don’t know each other well, and you’re not coming from a place of sincerity towards my dad, there’s absolutely no need for you to get into this mess again.”
Lan Yu Feng lazily leaned back on the sofa, like a cheetah, coldly eyeballing Geng Jing, as if waiting to see how she would pull off this lie.
“Because if I don’t expose Zhuo Zhenbang … the next one to end up like Meng Yuhui, it will definitely be me … ” Geng Jing looked at Zige, “Zhuo Zhenbang is vicious and ruthless, never letting go of anyone who is a threat to him.”
Listening to Geng Jing, Zi Ge didn’t say anything, just lowered her head in a thoughtful manner.
“I don’t agree with this.” The one who opened his mouth was Lan Yu Feng, who patted Zi Ge’s shoulder, “Go up first, let me talk to her.”
Zi Ge looked at Lan Yu Feng, “I want to try. At the very least, I want to find out if he’s the one who killed my dad. I don’t just want to give an explanation to my dad, but also to my mom!”
“Ziggy!” He frowned.
Geng Jing immediately interjected, “I think you’re doing the right thing. Murder pays for life, there’s no reason to let the murderer go free.”
“You shut up!” Lan Yu Feng’s face was gloomy.
Geng Jing was appalled and closed his mouth.
Lan Yu Feng wrapped his arms around Zi Ge and spoke again, “Go upstairs, don’t listen to her.”
Zige held his hand, “Let me try. Zhuo Yunruo and I look so much alike that Zhuo Zhenbang won’t recognize me. I have to at least investigate if he did all this. He destroyed my family, hurt my mom, and killed my dad, there’s no way I can deal with this calmly.”
Her tone was firm, as were her eyes.
Geng Jing glanced at the two and stood up, “The words have been brought to me, I’ll leave first. Ms. Meng, it’s up to you to decide how to handle this matter. However, if even you give up the chance to find out the truth for your father, I believe that your father won’t feel at ease even after he dies.”
After saying that, and receiving another cold glare from Lan Yu Feng, she didn’t dare to stay any longer, and carrying her own bag, she started to leave.
Lan Yu Feng lowered his eyes and looked at Zi Ge, “I’ll walk her out.”
Lan Yu Feng held his cane and walked out side by side with Geng Jing. Only just out of the villa, his expression was immediately cold as ice, “You want her to get the information back?”
“Zhuo Zhenbang isn’t that gullible, he’s just as wary of this as Meng Yuhui. I thought to myself that with my strength, I wouldn’t be able to fetch it at all.” Geng Jing only had to tell the truth.
“Waste!” Lan Yu Feng reprimanded lowly.
Geng Jing laughed a bit and glanced inside the villa, ”You’ll probably have to take back the word waste. You said that this if I can get the information back, no matter what method I use. Right now, I want to use her!”
“I’m not allowed!” Lan Yu Feng vetoed the proposal without even thinking about it.
“I just don’t understand why you don’t allow it.” Geng Jing frowned and looked at him, “Didn’t you keep her around all this time just to wait until you could use her? Wasn’t it because you wanted to make things bad for their entire family? Now if Meng Zige took the documents from Zhuo Zhenbang’s hands, Zhuo Zhenbang would be considered to have been sent to hell by his daughter herself. Wouldn’t you like to see a picture of father and daughter hurting each other? Mr. Lan, this is a good way to kill two birds with one stone!”
Lan Yu Feng’s expression was still cold, not even a hint of shaking, “Don’t even think about it!”
After saying that, he turned around to leave. Looking at that back, Geng Jing tsked and laughed a little, “I never thought that someone I always thought didn’t have a heart would also fall in love with a woman.”
Lan Yu Feng’s footsteps paused.
He coldly turned back to Geng Jing and looked at him warningly, “Don’t be presumptuous.”
“I’m not being presumptuous. You’re afraid she’ll end up hurting when she realizes she hurt her biological father with her own hands, aren’t you?”
Lan Yu Feng’s eyes were even colder, like a winter ice cellar.
“You don’t need to worry that this Zhuo Zhenbang will end up like that, it’s also considered a deserved crime. Moreover, I believe that what makes Meng Zige most painful will never be this, but …” Geng Jing paused for a moment, looked at the indifferent man in front of her, and once again spoke slowly: “She gave you her heart unreservedly, but what you gave her was only deliberate deception. .”
