Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 876 432: Guilty Conscience? Consequences of Impulsiveness

At this moment, Boss Jin felt very uncomfortable.

The feeling was as if he had already been caught by Luo Fei.

But Shen Mingchuan, who was beside him, seemed oblivious to his awkwardness.

On the contrary, he seemed to be adding fuel to the fire.

"Boss Jin, from what I know of you, your character should be fine, so there's no need to worry."

Shen Mingchuan spoke nonchalantly.

But Boss Jin felt there was a deeper meaning to his words, though he couldn't show it.

That would only make him look guilty.

"Mr. Luo, if you're here to see me not for Zhou Renli's matter, could there be something else?"

"Yes."

Luo Fei said, giving Han Tiesheng a look.

The latter took out photos of Boss Bai.

Plus a magazine featuring Jin Hongwen and Boss Bai on the cover, cutting the ribbon together.

"Boss Jin, you must recognize this person, right?"

When he saw the photo of Boss Bai.

Jin Hongwen was taken aback.

He actually wanted to say he didn't know him.

But that was simply impossible.

Because in the picture, he was chatting and laughing with Boss Bai, looking relaxed and confident. Clearly good buddies.

So he could only awkwardly tug at the corners of his mouth.

"Mr. Luo, how did you get this photo?"

You could see his discomfort.

But Luo Fei just smiled lightly.

"Boss Jin, don't worry about how I got the photo."

"Just tell me, do you know Boss Bai or not?"

Luo Fei questioned.

Forcing Jin Hongwen to sigh.

"Mr. Luo, I used to have quite a good relationship with Boss Bai. But that was before he disappeared!"

Jin Hongwen still admitted it.

He had no choice.

Especially with Shen Boss watching, who was his next potential business partner.

He couldn't lie.

That's a big no-no.

But upon hearing his admission.

Luo Fei still looked puzzled.

"Boss Jin, if you and Boss Bai were really good friends. Now that he's missing, shouldn't you be helping to find him?"

"Why are you trying so hard to distance yourself? It's no wonder you seem suspicious, isn't it?"

Luo Fei looked at him with skepticism.

But Jin Hongwen couldn't help feeling frustrated.

"Mr. Luo, I didn't want this initially. But what can I do?"

"His wife is truly unreasonable. If I don't keep my distance, there'll be trouble."

Luo Fei, sensing there was more to his words, wore a stern face.

"Mr. Jin, what is really going on?"

At this point,

Jin Hongwen had to sigh and say.

"Mr. Luo, it's getting late. Why don't we find a place to sit down?"

"Let's go inside to talk, instead of standing out here."

Shen Mingchuan also suggested.

"I think so too. We should go have a meal with Mr. Luo and talk over dinner."

He said as he took out his phone, planning to book a table at a nearby luxury restaurant.

But Luo Fei said.

"No need, Boss Jin, don't be nervous. It doesn't have to be that complicated either."

"Why not just prepare some tea in your office, and we'll leave after our chat."

Upon saying this.

Shen Mingchuan froze slightly.

But he had to temporarily give up the idea of dining with Luo Fei.

After a while.

As they entered the office.

Boss Jin asked his secretary to pour tea for Luo Fei and the others.

He even took out his favorite White Shark cigarette, offering one to Shen Mingchuan.

Seeing Luo Fei wave it off, he lit one for himself.

Then began to speak.

"Mr. Luo, you may not know."

"That Gu Nan is simply a shrew."

"I can't have a proper conversation with her; she doesn't listen to my explanations at all."

As it turned out.

Previously, the police had come to ask Jin Hongwen whether he knew anything about Boss Bai's disappearance.

But Jin Hongwen truly didn't know where Boss Bai had gone.

So he said he didn't know.

"But that crazy woman Gu Nan insists that I must know something about her husband."

"She even accuses me of having killed her husband and hidden his body. Moreover, she has caused a scene at the company several times because of it. Tell me, if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't respond kindly to her, right?"

As it turned out.

At first, Jin Hongwen was quite patient.

But later on, Gu Nan's antics wore him out.

So he simply ignored her.

"Mr. Luo, let's be honest here. I'm a businessman, and reputation is important. My relationship with Boss Bai was just business; I really don't owe him anything."

"But now, he's playing the missing game, not showing up himself. Yet he lets his wife come to my company and cause trouble. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have any good feelings towards him anymore, and the original bond would naturally fade."

Jin Hongwen couldn't help but find it amusing.

Speaking of which, he took a deep drag on his cigarette.

And blew out a smoke ring.

Shen Mingchuan, on the side, also spoke up.

"Mr. Luo, may I say a few words?"

Luo Fei listened and didn't stop him, just nodded.

Shen Mingchuan continued.

"Mr. Luo, based on my observations of Boss Jin over the past month. He's a decent person."

"But even the most patient person has limits. If someone goes too far, the consequences are predictable."

Shen Mingchuan shrugged as he spoke.

This made Boss Jin extremely grateful.

"Mr. Shen, I'm really touched that you'd speak up for me. But this doesn't concern you, and you don't need to get involved."

"Honestly, I should apologize to you, because today was supposed to be a commercial meeting, yet because of others' mistakes, you had to endure this ordeal with us. It's truly a bit awkward."
