Chapter 989 - 488: Narrow Encounter? All Actors? (Part 2)
Luo Fei was indeed telling the truth.
This time, to avoid drawing attention.
He and Li Yu deliberately wore summer clothes.
They looked very cool and refreshing.
Were it not for the inherent spirit and energy radiating from him,
no one would think he was so solemn and dignified, exuding an impressive aura.
But at this moment, Luo Fei’s image in Milia’s mind had grown exceptionally grand.
So she couldn’t help but express her admiration.
"Mr. Luo, your energy and spirit are unlike anything I’ve seen before. It’s truly remarkable, compelling genuine admiration from the heart."
Detecting Milia’s intention.
She felt somewhat embarrassed for misunderstanding him before.
But she didn’t know how to say it directly.
Luo Fei just smiled and nodded.
"Miss Milia, you’re too kind."
Seeing Luo Fei’s calm response, his tone easy and composed.
Milia had to let it go for now.
Meanwhile.
Luo Fei called Han Tiesheng and the others.
"Old Han, Li Yu and I plan to return tomorrow. The big fish isn’t on Rob Island, but here, in our own place."
However, Han Tiesheng, who just answered the phone, was still a bit dazed.
Moreover, it was already very late.
So he paused a moment.
"Mr. Luo, what’s happening? Have you found the person?"
In Old Han’s view,
the worst scenario was naturally that Ms. Lin had already fallen into trouble.
Her body had been found.
But Luo Fei said instead,
"Old Han, I mean, we need to go back to find Ms. Lin. She’s not elsewhere but right in Changli City."
Luo Fei’s explanation made Old Han almost think he had misheard.
"Mr. Luo, hold on, my mind’s a bit muddled. What did you say? I don’t quite understand?"
Detecting Old Han’s surprise.
Speaking up to this point.
Clearly taken aback.
Luo Fei neither agreed nor disagreed.
"Old Han, you didn’t mishear. I’m serious."
"This matter is indeed like that."
Then Luo Fei shared the clues he had learned just moments ago with Old Han.
Upon knowing Ms. Lin had never left Changli City.
Old Han’s expression grew a bit solemn too.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest with you. We just discovered a new clue ourselves. I was worried it might impact the progress of your investigation, so I planned to tell you when you returned. But now, it seems there’s no need."
"I might as well disclose what I know right away."
Old Han’s tone was hesitant.
This made Luo Fei a bit doubtful immediately.
"Old Han, what do you mean by this?"
"What have you guys uncovered?"
Luo Fei’s hint of surprise was evident.
Old Han patiently explained as well.
"Mr. Luo, to tell you the truth."
"From this case investigation, we found out that Ms. Lin’s name is fake, and her identity is questionable."
"For more than a decade, she has been living under an alias with her daughter."
Hearing the explanation.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.
"Does Song Qingyu know about this?"
Hearing Luo Fei’s question.
Han Tiesheng shook his head.
"As of now, no."
Upon hearing Han Tiesheng’s reply.
Luo Fei felt slightly relieved.
But he also knew clearly.
Song Qingyu was very smart.
She would never sit idly by.
So it’s likely that soon enough,
she would investigate this matter herself.
"Mr. Luo, good news!"
Just then.
Suddenly, Milia exclaimed excitedly.
This piqued Luo Fei’s interest.
"Miss Milia, what’s the good news?"
Detecting the expectation in Luo Fei’s tone.
Milia patiently explained too.
"Mr. Luo, just now we received a call."
"The waiter turned himself in."
While Milia spoke.
Luo Fei and Li Yu were already getting into the police car with her.
More than 30 minutes later.
As the three of them arrived at the detention center.
Liwa was already there.
And present were countless media and journalists.
Clearly, they came for Liwa.
"Officer, I can guarantee that I have no clue about this incident."
Seeing Liwa’s face full of grievance.
With swollen eyes.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Miss Liwa, what do you mean by ’no clue’?"
"Are you saying you weren’t aware that Luo Qingping was already married, or that you weren’t aware he asked you to play the role of his wife?"
Luo Fei’s gaze was cold, and his expression sharp.
This made Liwa suddenly a bit ashamed, almost nervous to the point of being at a loss.
"Mr. Luo, I can swear to the heavens. This matter is definitely not what you think."
Liwa spoke with utmost seriousness.
With a serious expression.
This immediately piqued Luo Fei’s deep interest.
"Miss Liwa, what’s this all about?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s confusion.
Liwa also patiently explained.
"Officer, I’ve been on edge these past few days. Because when I met Luo Qingping before, he said it was just to act with him, to reassure his mom, making her believe he was married."
"He also said he’s been single for over forty years, too frivolous in the past, making it hard to find a match."
"I was moved by what he said back then. That’s why I decided to become an actor. But later, when I was forced into a car and he still said it was just acting, I realized something was wrong."
At that moment.
As Liwa explained what happened.
Luo Fei finally understood.
She was merely an actor hired by others. Merely a pawn found by someone else.
Yet seeing her somewhat fearful and uneasy.
Sweat forming on her forehead.
Her face marked by tension and disbelief.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but be curious.
"Miss Liwa, if you knew something was wrong, why didn’t you report to the police right away?"
Liwa sighed at this moment: "I was just focused on escaping, where could I have thought of calling the police? Besides, if those people were truly bad and found me later to do harm, what could I do?"
But as Luo Fei spoke with her.
A staff member suddenly approached.
Said a few words in gibberish to Milia.
Then Milia excitedly said.
"Mr. Luo, I just got news. The few thugs responsible for abducting Liwa, after seeing her interview just now, also turned themselves in."
"They too said they were just hired actors, not really into kidnapping."
Hearing this.
Luo Fei rubbed his temples.
Because after the technician verified.
And the complete chat history screenshots provided by Liwa.
What she said had been confirmed.
She was indeed just a hired actor.
To further verify the situation and make a better judgment.
Luo Fei decided to return to Changli City.
Coordinate with Milia to find as many useful clues as possible.
This way, the investigation efficiency could be improved.
Ring ring!
But just as Luo Fei was getting up, ready to leave the local police station.
His phone rang.
A slightly frightened voice of a little girl came through.
"Mr. Luo, that person isn’t my mom, is she?"
Such a question clearly showed she was at a loss, even fearful.
Luo Fei quickly comforted her.
"Song Qingyu, don’t get excited."
"Li Yu and I are heading back right away. We’ll do our best to give you an answer. You must remain calm and steady."
Luo Fei said this.
His tone was full of sincerity.
Song Qingyu, who was initially frantic.
Calmed down considerably in the next moment.
"Mr. Luo, I’ll be waiting for you at home."
"But I’m still worried. I’m really scared. If my mom turns out to be like what I’m thinking..."
"Then I might really... I don’t know what to do."
