Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 964 - 476: Duty-Bound? Bizarre Death

Lin Zimo was clearly forcing herself to stay strong at this moment.

"Mr. Luo, go ahead, tell me what you need me to do next, you can just ask at any time."

"Anything I can do, I will do without hesitation."

I heard some expectation in her voice.

Clearly hoping I could show her a clear path.

Also genuinely hoping the case could be solved quickly.

It would help her get a more comprehensive understanding of what kind of person Jin Hongwen really is.

Luo Fei said seriously.

"Miss Lin, the reason I’m willing to let you get involved in the investigation this time is because the case is quite complicated. It’s not just Jin Hongwen who has issues. Even his friend, Boss Shen, and Su Jianfan’s father are involved in the interests."

"So you have to understand, this case is definitely not as simple as it seems..."

But from Luo Fei’s tone, it seems like he’s warning me.

Telling me how dangerous it might get.

Lin Zimo suddenly burst out laughing.

"Mr. Luo, do you really think that saying this would scare me away?"

Lin Zimo said this while shaking her head.

Clearly feeling Luo Fei underestimated her.

But Luo Fei spoke very seriously.

"Miss Lin, I don’t have any intention to scare you unnecessarily."

"After all, this matter is very complex, including many involved parties."

"You might find out in the end that the result you discover isn’t what you expected, or even something you can hardly accept."

"..."

She was silent for quite a while.

Lin Zimo then spoke in a deep voice.

"Mr. Luo, I know."

She looked up all of a sudden.

Her gaze became somewhat determined.

Luo Fei was a bit surprised.

"Miss Lin, what are you saying?"

"Mr. Luo, I understand what you mean. Actually, when I decided to participate in the police investigation from the very start, I had a hunch. The reason Jin Hongwen hasn’t acknowledged me all these years must be because of some hidden trouble. And this might be a secret he never wants me to know for his whole life."

"And what you just said has actually confirmed my suspicions."

"So I don’t mind, because I’ve already mentally prepared myself."

Lin Zimo spoke calmly.

Showing no hint of timidity.

She has clearly adjusted her mindset quickly.

Only then did Luo Fei feel somewhat relieved.

"Miss Lin, if that’s the case, what I need you to do next is probably to continue pretending to be in a relationship with Su Jianfan. So that Jin Hongwen’s attention is diverted."

"This way, we can continue to dig deeper into the investigation of the wrongdoings he committed back then, including those he hurt."

But upon hearing Luo Fei’s suggestion,

Lin Zimo pursed her lips.

"Mr. Luo, I thought you were going to say something else, turns out it’s just this."

Just seeing Lin Zimo felt very relaxed, speaking frankly.

But Luo Fei took it seriously.

"Miss Lin, although I know you might find this easy."

"But actually, earlier on, Song Yulan already noticed that you don’t really like Su Jianfan. Yet he seems to have completely fallen for you, even becoming devoted to you."

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s guess.

Su Jianfan’s mouth twitched slightly.

"Mr. Luo, are you joking?"

"Me, liking Lin Zimo? How can this be possible?"

Looking at Su Jianfan’s face full of disbelief.

Even finding it extremely funny, but he held back from laughing out loud.

Because Lin Zimo’s expression had already turned a bit ugly.

Yet Luo Fei remained noncommittal.

"Su Jianfan, you didn’t hear wrong."

"This is exactly what Song Yulan told me during the day. She believes you have completely fallen for Lin Zimo, even devoted, beyond remedy."

Su Jianfan listened with a mix of crying and laughing.

But before he could refute.

Lin Zimo had already spoken up with a suggestion.

"Mr. Luo, since Song Yulan thinks this way, isn’t it good? We can play along with her misunderstanding. This way, it will facilitate our plan deployment later on, right?"

Seeing Lin Zimo suddenly having a lightbulb moment.

Also, she fully understood my intent.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but nod approvingly.

"Lin Zimo, you’re spot on. That’s exactly what I was thinking."

"Facts have proven that you’re quite clever."

But hearing Luo Fei’s words.

Clearly agreeing with Lin Zimo.

Su Jianfan was instantly dumbfounded.

"Mr. Luo, but if it’s as you said."

"Then wouldn’t I have to keep acting? And if necessary, I really have to pretend to be in a relationship with Lin Zimo, possibly?"

Su Jianfan spoke, slightly distastefully.

Lin Zimo pursed her lips upon hearing this.

"Mr. Su, why do you make it sound like pretending to be in a relationship with me is somehow a burden to you?"

"Honestly, if it weren’t for investigating Jin Hongwen’s case, I probably wouldn’t be willing to cooperate with you in such a thing at all. After all, I’ve never been in a relationship, but now I’m wasting my feelings here with you."

Lin Zimo said, pursing her lips.

And raised her eyebrows.

Looking at her with an air of disregard.

As if she was the one making the biggest sacrifice.

Su Jianfan also felt a mix of crying and laughing.

But compared to the rest, Luo Fei was much more serious.

"You two, speaking seriously, this matter might be more complicated than we think."

Luo Fei spoke with a stern face.

Su Jianfan also simply stopped arguing.

"Mr. Luo, I understand what you mean. You hope I can actively cooperate with Miss Lin, and not have conflicts with her, right? I understand. I will actively cooperate with your arrangements, completely listen to you. So now, you can finally rest assured, right?"
