Chapter 1040 - 514: Making the First Move? Making a Sacrifice
However, despite what Luo Fei said.
Song Qingyu, sitting nearby, spoke very seriously at this moment.
"Mr. Luo, you really don’t need to overthink this."
"After all, we’ve been grateful for your help before. It’s been a great aid to us. So if you have any thoughts or need any assistance, feel free to let us know."
Song Qingyu spoke frankly, and her attitude was resolute.
Luo Fei listened and responded with a smile.
"It’s not as serious as it seems."
"It’s just that Ms. Lin might need to make a small sacrifice... I’m just not sure if you’re willing."
Following that.
Luo Fei explained his meticulous plan to Ms. Lin.
But when Ms. Lin heard she needed to chat up someone ten years younger than herself.
She hesitated for a moment.
"Mr. Luo, it’s not a problem. I am willing to agree to this request."
In the next second, Ms. Lin agreed to Luo Fei’s request.
Seeing that she actually agreed.
Song Qingyu, standing by, was a bit surprised.
"Mom, are you sure you’ve thought it through? This matter is no small thing."
"If that Boss Huang sets his sights on you, he might insist on dating you. Wouldn’t that be troublesome?"
Seeing her daughter somewhat shocked and incredulous.
Also worried that she might encounter some misfortune.
Her elderly mother shook her head with a smile.
"Daughter. I understand what you mean. But in my view, Mr. Luo has provided us with a lot of help before."
"He has shown great kindness to us mother and daughter. So even if I have to make a small sacrifice, it’s no big deal."
In Ms. Lin’s view, doing this is not only to assist Luo Fei.
But also.
To better prevent more victims from appearing.
After all, there are probably many like Li Benhua who deceive others’ feelings and use it as a means of fraud and money laundering.
If she can educate this Mr. Huang, it might also serve as a warning to others.
Realizing this.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but admire her.
"Ms. Lin, your reasoning makes sense."
"I have to say, you are truly brave, intelligent, and courageous."
At this moment, seeing that Luo Fei was looking at her with full approval.
Her face also showed a look of newfound respect.
Ms. Lin shook her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I’ve been wanting to repay you for a while, just never had the chance. I even thought of giving you a gift, but if I did, I’m afraid you wouldn’t accept it."
"So now, since there’s a chance to properly repay your kindness, I won’t miss such a good opportunity."
Although Ms. Lin agreed to his request.
Song Qingyu was a bit upset and couldn’t help but pout.
"Mom, really. Agreeing to someone else’s request like this. Did you consider my feelings? Besides, since Mr. Luo is investigating this Boss Huang, he’s likely dangerous. He might even be a murderer, you know?"
At this moment.
Song Qingyu was genuinely worried for her mother, so she considered her in every way.
But seeing her daughter with words stuck in her throat.
Even her eyes were moist.
Ms. Lin shook her head with a smile.
"Song Qingyu, don’t worry. I won’t let myself fall into danger."
"Even if I somehow end up in danger, Mr. Luo will surely find a way to protect me."
Ms. Lin said, glancing at Luo Fei.
Her intention clearly showed great trust in him.
This filled Luo Fei’s heart with warmth.
Almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei noticed.
Someone at the restaurant entrance was watching them.
And their expression was quite complex.
"Ms. Zhao, are you looking for me for something?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei call her.
Zhao Mengyao took a deep breath.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest. I still can’t help but be bothered by my father’s cause of death."
"That’s why I came to find you."
Zhao Mengyao spoke with great seriousness.
This piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.
"Ms. Zhao, from what you’re saying, could it be that you suspect someone specific?"
Looking at Luo Fei, who was longing for her response.
A hesitant expression crossed her face.
Zhao Mengyao neither confirmed nor denied this.
"Mr. Luo, if I were to speak my true thoughts, you might not believe me. You might even suspect I’m deliberately framing someone just to prove my innocence."
"But I don’t care. Even if it brings me endless trouble, or if you suspect me, it doesn’t matter."
Catching her implications.
Though feeling uneasy inside, her tone was firmer than before.
Luo Fei took a deep breath.
And said somewhat helplessly.
"Ms. Zhao, what exactly is it you want to say, or do you already have someone in mind who might be involved?"
Luo Fei’s question prompted Zhao Mengyao to nod.
"Mr. Luo, I won’t hide it. I’ve considered the possibility that he did this. But if you ask me to be 100% sure, that’s another matter."
Seeing Zhao Mengyao being somewhat hesitant.
She clearly didn’t want to continue.
Luo Fei suddenly looked up with seriousness.
"Ms. Zhao, who exactly are you referring to, and what did he do?"
At this moment.
Luo Fei’s patience was almost at its limit.
Sensing his impatience.
