Chapter 888 438: Lurking in the Shadows? Severing Ties
Luo Fei's words left the other party at a loss for words.
Gu Nan was stunned and silent for a long time.
She just kept opening her mouth.
Unable to speak.
Luo Fei said to Bai Rongjun on the side.
"Mr. Bai, could you and your mother please wait outside for a moment?"
"We'll be out shortly."
But seeing Luo Fei actually follow Boss Bai into the villa,
Gu Nan was a bit surprised.
"Mr. Luo, are you just leaving us behind like this?"
"What else?"
But hearing Gu Nan ask like that,
Luo Fei couldn't help but find it amusing.
Gu Nan heard this and bit her lip, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Mr. Luo, I'm part of Boss Bai's family, so I have the right to know about his matters!"
Gu Nan was trembling with anger.
The veins on her forehead were bulging.
Her face flushed red.
Luo Fei could see it clearly.
If he let Gu Nan follow him into the villa,
the consequences would be predictable.
So he also firmly refused her.
"Miss Gu, I know you must feel wronged. You feel uncomfortable inside."
"But now we are investigating a case, performing our duties. So it's best if you wait outside."
Seeing Luo Fei actually turn to leave,
Gu Nan was rather angry.
"No way! Mr. Luo, absolutely not. As a member of Boss Bai's family, I have the right to be informed!"
"Otherwise, if you can't question him in front of me, I'm afraid he definitely won't tell the truth obediently."
But Luo Fei ignored her.
Instead, he gave a signal to Li Yu and Old Han nearby.
"Li Yu, you and Old Han keep watch outside. Su Jianfan and I will go in and take notes. The trace team follows."
Seeing Luo Fei about to leave,
Gu Nan was so angry she stomped her foot.
"Mr. Luo, what are you doing? You're letting the real criminals go unpunished, instead coming to bother us innocent people!"
Seeing Gu Nan in disbelief,
seemingly shocked,
Bai Rongjun couldn't help but remind her.
"Mom, let it go. You were in the wrong at first, and there's no need to keep pestering."
"Besides, police investigations are supposed to be confidential. It's not up to us to decide whether we have the right to know the latest developments."
Seeing Bai Rongjun looking somewhat troubled, turning around to blame herself,
Gu Nan could hardly believe it.
"Son, did I hear correctly? Are you actually siding with the people bullying me now??"
Gu Nan was utterly amazed, as if she couldn't believe her own ears.
Bai Rongjun could only sigh and say,
"Mom, how about this: I won't stop you. I'll go buy you two kitchen knives right now, and you can go chop up Dad and that Chen Meihong?"
Bai Rongjun's suggestion,
made his mother instantly speechless.
Seeing her go silent,
Bai Rongjun sighed again and said,
"Mom, some things aren't as simple as we think."
"If you stubbornly refuse to understand and upset Dad, it doesn't matter. But if Mr. Luo refuses to continue the investigation because of that, wouldn't you be left in tears?"
This speech from her son,
made Gu Nan open her mouth, unable to speak for a long time.
She could only sigh and say,
"Yes, my son is right. You're more clear-headed, unlike me — just a fool. And unreasonable. Only knowing how to say harsh words, making you all unhappy!"
It seemed as if she was confessing her mistakes,
but in fact, she was criticizing herself.
Bai Rongjun didn't bother to respond.
On the other side,
after Boss Bai followed Chen Meihong into the villa,
he asked with concern,
"Meihong, are you okay?"
Chen Meihong still said nothing, but her face was obviously sullen.
So she took a deep breath and said,
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing Chen Meihong forcing a smile,
Boss Bai hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, Meihong, it was my fault. I didn't stop her, or she wouldn't have laid a hand on you."
However, seeing Boss Bai's earnest apology,
Chen Meihong sneered instead.
"Does it matter? It's not the first time you haven't stood up for me."
"If you really cared about me, you should have protected me the moment she moved, not coming out now with hindsight."
Chen Meihong gave him a caustic look.
Her words left Boss Bai somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing the standoff between the two,
Luo Fei finally spoke in a deep voice.
"You two, let's get back to business."
Hearing Luo Fei's reminder,
Boss Bai took a deep breath,
and patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, I know you might have many questions."
"But I can admit, this child is mine. But it's not Chen Meihong's."
Boss Bai's words caused Su Jianfan's mouth to twitch.
"Wait a minute, Boss Bai, my mind's a bit muddled, what did you say?"
Boss Bai didn't deny it, and instead admitted frankly.
"Mr. Su, you heard right."
"I said the child isn't mine and Chen Meihong's. It's with another lover of mine."
"At that time, I still had a good relationship with my wife, so I didn't tell Gu Nan."
It turns out that one of Boss Bai's lovers,
actually gave birth to this intellectually disabled child and then left.
So over the years, it's been Boss Bai, raising the child alone.
"At first, I didn't want to hurt my wife, so I decided to take responsibility for this child and raise it alone. But as time went on, I became busier, and it was beyond my ability."
