Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 873 430: Compassionate? Repeating the Same Mistakes (Part 2)

Sun Hongyu sighed.

"Zhou Renli, I urge you to think before you act next time."

"Just because you were fine this time doesn't mean you'll always be so lucky. If something happens to you, how do you expect your son and me to live?"

Woo woo woo—

Just as they were talking,

a police car had already parked in front of them.

But seeing two people get out of the police car,

and clearly coming toward them,

Zhou Renli felt dizzy.

"Why are the police here again?"

Upon hearing his complaint,

his wife couldn't help but give him a stern look.

"You fool, what's going on? Did you get into trouble again?"

Seeing her glaring at him,

Zhou Renli felt helpless.

"Wife, this time it's really not my fault. You're misunderstanding me."

As Zhou Renli spoke, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

But he already had some clues in his mind.

He guessed it was that unscrupulous guy Jin.

Even though he once got him detained,

he's still relentless.

Even so, he had to step forward quickly,

apologizing to Luo Fei earnestly.

"Officer, whatever you've heard, I haven't done anything wrong. I can assure you, no matter what that damn guy says, he's framing me on purpose."

Zhou Renli's words took Luo Fei by surprise.

He exchanged a look with Han Tiesheng beside him.

"Sir, are you Zhou Renli?"

"Yes, I am."

Zhou Renli held his head high, as if he were facing inevitable doom.

Sun Hongyu beside him, looking helpless, said,

"Officer, my husband hasn't done anything immoral. I can vouch for him. If you have doubts about him, it's highly likely someone is setting him up."

Seeing the couple so frightened,

it was clear that previous events had left them with some psychological trauma.

Luo Fei just chuckled.

"You two are overthinking it."

"I'm not here to arrest Mr. Zhou. I just want to inquire about the conflict between you and Mr. Jin."

Luo Fei explained.

This made Zhou Renli realize suddenly.

"Officer, are you here to help me seek justice??"

Seeing Zhou Renli's disbelief,

Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied it.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard about the conflict between you and Mr. Jin."

"Based on my intuition and foresight, it seems you're extremely resentful of him, even to the point where you want to smash his head in public, which means there's more to this story."

Luo Fei's analysis lifted a wave of excitement in Zhou Renli's heart.

He thanked him repeatedly.

"Officer, your insight is truly remarkable."

"Your conjecture is indeed correct."

"This Jin guy tricked me previously, saying he could make us rich together, but he was lying."

After Zhou Renli explained,

Luo Fei learned,

that Zhou Renli met Jin Hongwen at Wu Zhicheng's club.

Back then, Zhou Renli had just opened two small supermarkets, with savings of hundreds of thousands, living a good life.

But since his son was about to attend college,

and would be getting married in a few years,

he was thinking,

if he could turn those hundreds of thousands into over a million,

he could buy a house in the provincial capital as his son's marital home, and might even have extra money to buy him a car.

Then both families could go on vacations together.

But unfortunately,

his dreams were big,

the reality was harsh.

"Mr. Luo, I believed this man's lies at the time. That's why I invested all my savings in his transport company. In the end, all the money was lost."

"I even owe the bank hundreds of thousands."

"Originally, among my siblings, we had the best life. But because of this incident, we became the most indebted in the family, the 'negative wealth' leaders of the family."

Zhou Renli explained the situation to Luo Fei.

After reflecting, it's indeed unnerving.

No matter who experiences this,

would undoubtedly feel awkward.

After all, being the victim and falsely accused is infuriating.

Just thinking about it leaves a sour taste.

"And what's more infuriating is, even though Jin Hongwen caused my downfall, he shows no remorse."

"When I confronted him, guess what he said? He claimed investments have risks, and that it's my lack of foresight that caused this. Just thinking about it makes me boil with anger!"

Zhou Renli spoke angrily,

clenching his fists.

Clearly, he was very upset,

even a bit indignant.

Luo Fei quickly comforted him.

"Mr. Zhou, I have a general understanding of the situation."

"However, it's only your side of the story. Even if we're to investigate, we need more evidence for a comprehensive judgment."

Luo Fei said.

Making Zhou Renli think he misheard.

He was in disbelief.

"Officer, are you saying you don't believe me?"

"No, we just need a more comprehensive judgment. If you have bank transaction records with Mr. Jin or signed contracts, it would greatly assist us."

After listening to Luo Fei,

Zhou Renli felt embarrassed.

"Officer, I did sign a contract with him, but I also signed a waiver..."

It turns out, Zhou Renli had signed a waiver before.

It's because of this document,

he couldn't safeguard his rights.

"We agreed in writing that, if the investment failed, both parties are responsible for the risk."

"It's this clause that I neglected, so even if I sue now, there's no chance of winning."

Seeing Zhou Renli rub his forehead in frustration,

his wife couldn't help but punch his arm.

"It's your fault, signing without reading! Now look!"

"We can't even get our money back!"

Perhaps because this wasn't the first complaint,

Zhou Renli sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Luo, I know it was my fault for not reading the contract carefully. But this Jin guy is truly vile. Can't we fight back?"

Genuinely upset, Zhou Renli didn't want to let it slide.

But he lacked the ability,

and couldn't wield the law to protect himself.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. Your frustration is based on assuming the contract is valid."

"We also need to confirm whether it's a failed investment or if you were swindled. There's a fundamental difference."

Luo Fei seriously explained.

But Zhou Renli still felt troubled.

"Mr. Luo, isn't there a big difference?"

"No, it's vastly different."

Luo Fei knew,

if Zhou Renli's money was genuinely spent on investments,

but yielded no profit,

then recovering it is impossible.

But if investigations reveal otherwise,

and someone falsified accounts or used other means,

making Zhou Renli think his money was gone,

but it was all a sham, the nature changes entirely.

Luo Fei's words gave Zhou Renli a glimmer of hope.

He got excited.

"Mr. Luo, does this mean I might get my money back?"
