Chapter 883 435: Is She Lying? Poor Acting (2)
Yang Mei listened, and shook her head with a bit of amusement.
"It's just a breakfast, right? No problem."
Seeing the other party agree so readily,
Luo Fei finally nodded and said,
"Well, in that case, it's settled."
Buzz——!
Almost simultaneously,
Luo Fei's phone buzzed.
When he looked down,
he saw that it was a message from Su Jianfan.
Since he had just finished breakfast,
he simply suggested,
"Sister Yang Mei, shall we go?"
But spotting the meaningful smile on Luo Fei's face,
Yang Mei asked somewhat skeptically,
"Mr. Luo, what message did Su Jianfan send you?"
Seeing Yang Mei's slight unease,
as if worried that Luo Fei had just gotten crucial evidence of Shen Ruolan lying,
Luo Fei just smiled calmly.
"It's nothing. Su Jianfan just said that Song Meilan has ended up at the police station again, this time with her relatives. So he asked me to come over."
Hearing this, Yang Mei finally understood what was going on.
A moment later,
when Luo Fei arrived at the police station,
Song Meilan was already there waiting.
But instead of her usual smugness and arrogance,
she looked rather embarrassed in front of Luo Fei.
"Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry to trouble you to come all this way. But this time, I'm really in big trouble."
"So I hope you can help me out."
Song Meilan's sudden awkwardness caught Luo Fei a bit off guard.
He found it hard to believe and asked,
"Ms. Song, is it really you? You know this isn't the first or second time you've caused us trouble."
"But before, you never acted so deferentially, or even felt so ashamed."
Seeing Luo Fei slightly confused,
as if not understanding his own behavior,
Song Meilan also awkwardly laughed.
"Mr. Luo, wasn't it just me being immature before? I'll apologize here, and I hope you won't hold it against me."
"This time, I'm really in a big mess. I truly can't solve it myself, so I had to come to you."
Luo Fei listened and decided not to dwell on it.
Instead, he sat down behind the desk.
"Tell me, what's going on exactly?"
Seeing Luo Fei slightly bewildered,
unclear about his own response,
Song Meilan patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, the thing is, a few years ago, I recommended a training class to my relatives. I wanted their child to succeed."
"And out of trust for my deceased husband, I sent the kid to the training class run by him and Yang Mingquan..."
Song Meilan said this,
causing Luo Fei to be taken aback.
Li Yu, who was beside him, couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Ms. Song, seriously? You even conned your own relative's kid? That's just something else."
But seeing Luo Fei in disbelief,
as if he couldn't believe she'd do such a thing,
Song Meilan looked quite embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, I didn't know about the training class's situation. If I had known what it was like, I definitely wouldn't have sent my relative's kid there."
Seeing Song Meilan's embarrassed face, obviously quite self-conscious,
feeling sorry for her previous mistake,
Luo Fei rubbed his temples.
"Ms. Song, in that case, just admit the mistake to your relatives and have their kid leave the training class, wouldn't that solve it?"
Luo Fei asked, a bit puzzled.
Song Meilan, embarrassed, said,
"Mr. Luo, that's the problem now."
"I really want him to leave the training class. But my relatives said they paid tens of thousands over the years, yet their child's college entrance exam results weren't good."
"So they think it's my responsibility, that I should take responsibility for my actions."
Hearing Song Meilan's words,
Luo Fei frowned.
"You sent their kid to the training class years ago. Now it's been so many years. They're coming to blame you; what sense does that make?"
Seeing Luo Fei a bit incredulous, as if not expecting to be caught in such nonsense,
the elder sister felt quite awkward.
"Mr. Luo, I said the same. I told them it's been years, and they can't hold me responsible."
"But they're persistent. They say if I won't take responsibility, that means I'm in cahoots with Zhang Chengfeng, deceiving them together."
"I'm really at wit's end, so I came to you."
As Song Meilan said this,
her face turned red and pale.
Luo Fei said sternly,
"Ms. Song, we're not here to solve personal disputes. So if you did something wrong, you must bear the responsibility."
"Even if we investigate, it will be done officially, without any favoritism."
Hearing Luo Fei's analysis,
Song Meilan quickly nodded.
"Mr. Luo, I understand what you mean. But back then, all I got was a small introduction fee from my relative."
"Now they're asking me for interest over the years. I think they're trying to bully me because they can't get the money back from those training centers, so they're harassing me."
Song Meilan spoke confidently,
but Luo Fei laughed coldly.
"Ms. Song, so this so-called small fee, how much exactly was it?"
Seeing Luo Fei puzzled,
the elder sister quickly answered,
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, back then, it wasn't a small amount. It was over a thousand..."
Hearing the elder sister's honest reply,
Luo Fei laughed it off.
"Ms. Song, if that's the case, then if someone wants to cause you trouble,"
"it's understandable. Not to mention, taking money back then might suggest collusion or extortion."
Luo Fei spoke with gravity.
This made the elder sister widen her eyes.
"No, Mr. Luo, I'm a good person, how can you treat me like a bad person? That's not fair to me!"
Seeing Song Meilan feel wronged,
Li Yu couldn't help but frown nearby.
"Ms. Song, clearly this is your fault. Why do you feel wronged?"
Li Yu found it amusing,
but Song Meilan was a bit displeased.
"What I said is the truth. I didn't know about the training class, and out of goodwill, I introduced my relatives."
"If I had known this rascal was up to no good, I'd never have referred my relatives."
Before Song Meilan finished speaking,
there was a loud banging at the door.
"Song Meilan, I'm telling you, today you're not getting away with this."
"If you don't give me a fair settlement, I'll sue you! Then you and your husband can wait for your house to be confiscated."
Hearing this voice,
Luo Fei quickly walked out of the room.
When he saw who accompanied this middle-aged lady, it was surprisingly Su Manying.
She had stayed silent the entire time.
This left Luo Fei a bit surprised.
"Su Manying, why are you with this lady?"
Seeing Luo Fei puzzled,
Su Manying quickly explained.
"Mr. Luo, it's actually a coincidence. This lady's daughter is in the same class as Tang Fangfang."
Su Manying's explanation,
made Luo Fei realize.
"Oh, I see?"
Seeing Luo Fei suddenly get it,
Su Manying said,
"So, Mr. Luo, I think we could involve her in this investigation. But it might need you to intervene personally."
Su Manying spoke with a hint of hesitation.
Noticing she hoped for his intervention,
to help resolve the issue,
Luo Fei readily agreed.
"Sure."
Luo Fei's quick agreement,
surprised Su Manying a bit.
"Mr. Luo, are you sure you're willing to help us with this?"
"After all, this lady seems difficult to deal with..."
