As Su Xing waited outside for Randy to gather information about the deceased's family, he caught sight of Luo Hao's shadow in the distance. Lost in thought, he was startled when someone knocked on his car window.
He rolled down the window and asked, "Do you want to get in?"
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Didn't Brother Yu tell you to wait for him at home?"
Luo Hao had been busy all night and had completely forgotten to send someone to keep an eye on Su Xing, despite the boss specifically instructing him to ensure her safety. When he spotted Su Xing's car, alarm bells rang in his head. Seeing her in that moment made his scalp tingle, and he silently scolded himself for being so negligent.
As he spoke, Luo Hao opened the door and got in.
"Has Jing Yu really been taken?" Su Xing immediately asked about her biggest concern.
The man’s phone had been off since morning; how could she not be anxious?
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Big Brother should be with his uncle now. He is indeed at the police station, but I assure you, he is being well taken care of."
Though Luo Hao's words sounded reassuring, the fact remained that Jing Yu had been taken away and his phone was dead—what kind of comfortable treatment could that possibly be?
"What’s going on over there? What are they saying online?"
Most importantly, Su Xing wanted to know when Jing Yu would be able to come back.
Luo Hao hesitated before replying, "It should be soon. I’m close to figuring out what exactly happened here. Once we gather the evidence, your brother will be able to come back."
"So where do you want to go now? I’ll drive you."
"Do I dare trouble Sister-in-law to be my driver?" Luo Hao replied.
"Is this an internal struggle within Shen's group or are outsiders deliberately targeting Jing Yu?"
"Uh... it's a bit of both," Luo Hao admitted. He hadn’t expected Su Xing to have such keen instincts; being around her made him feel like a junior.
As they spoke, Su Xing started the car. "Give me the address; I want to meet the deceased's real family."
Luo Hao was taken aback. "Sister-in-law, how do you know I know where they live?"
"Did you stay here all night just to keep vigil for Sun Zhifei?"
Luo Hao replied, "The boss's woman is a big shot; we can't afford to offend her."
With that, before Randy could clarify the address of Sun Zhifei's real family, Su Xing had already driven away.
As Randy hurried over with news, she found that Su Xing was nowhere to be seen in the parking space. She scratched her head in silence, wondering if she had been abandoned by her superior.
When Randy's call came through, Su Xing suddenly remembered that she had left something behind.
"Randy, you're at the taxi company. I'm not working today."
"Then Sister Xing, should I continue the investigation?" Randy knew that her actions were usually slower than Su Xing's, but she was quite accurate in her findings.
"Go ahead. Others may not be as reliable as my own people."
Su Xing's words were clear, while Luo Hao beside her felt a sting of accusation. Su Xing ignored Luo Hao's accusing gaze and drove into an old neighborhood.
From a distance, loud shouts and cries could be heard in front of a building.
"Liu Jia! You cursed star! You gave my brother a son with cerebral palsy, and now you just sit at home relying on my brother to earn money for you! You occupy a nest but can’t lay a good egg, and you still have the nerve to ask for my brother's relocation funds and funeral expenses?!"
"Sister, you're speaking without conscience. Xiao Peng is my child with Zhifei. Our family has never asked you for money!"
"Why should my husband's money not belong to me and our child? Should it end up in your pocket?"
Liu Jia and Sun Guihong had been at odds for a lifetime. Liu Jia despised her sister-in-law for having a child with cerebral palsy, refusing to associate with her and forbidding other members of the Sun family from doing so as well.
Somehow, they had heard that Sun Zhifei's house was going to be demolished, and like flies, they swarmed over. Little did they know that just yesterday, her brother had jumped off a building to commit suicide, causing such an uproar that even the television station came to interview them.
Later, Sun Guihong heard that her brother had died for money and could receive a large compensation; she simply refused to leave.
"Liu Jia, let me tell you, don’t think that just because my brother is dead, you can swallow all his assets! I still want my nephew from the Sun family! You worthless hen who can’t lay good eggs should hurry up and bring disaster to someone else’s home!"
"Sun Guihong, I’m telling you plainly: this time I won’t give you a single cent! My husband’s money belongs to me and our children!"
"Get lost where you came from! Get lost!"
"Hey, you filthy woman! How dare you insult me?!" Sun Guihong rolled up her sleeves and was ready to fight; the two women quickly got into a scuffle.
More and more onlookers gathered in the neighborhood as Liu Jia’s seemingly foolish son stepped forward to block his mother.
As Sun Peng was being scratched and pinched by his aunt Sun Guihong, Liu Jia erupted like a wild beast, lunging at her sister-in-law, grabbing her hair and trying to bite her neck.
The scene became chaotic and unbearable to watch.
Not far away, Su Xing parked the car and rolled down both side windows; neither she nor Luo Hao made any move.
She asked, "Is this Sister-in-law related to her brother's death?"
Luo Hao looked serious for a moment before replying, "Oh, Sister-in-law, she probably just came to stir up trouble. She knows her brother is about to receive compensation for the relocation and is here to take advantage of it."
Su Xing glanced at a subordinate who was still enjoying the spectacle and said coldly, "Is it entertaining?"
"Huh?" Luo Hao was taken aback. "If it's not entertaining, why would she provoke Sister-in-law? With such a bad temper, how could she be the best light in Brother Yu's life? Shouldn't we rescue that mother and son? This has nothing to do with finding witnesses!"
Su Xing's tone was sharp enough to snap Luo Hao out of his daze.
He immediately got out of the car, and four bodyguards in black suits followed him, surrounding him.
With just a glance from Luo Hao, they pushed through the crowd and subdued two women whose faces were twisted in rage.
Their graying hair was disheveled like a bird's nest, and their faces and necks were marked with scratches, some made by nails and others by bites.
This brawl was quite a sight to behold.
In truth, Luo Hao wasn't too anxious because Liu Jia wasn't a key player. As long as they had evidence of her receiving payment for services rendered, she would eventually have to confess. They weren't clueless about this middle-aged woman.
The main concern was who she received money from and for whom she was working.
Su Xing's thoughts weren't wrong; extracting information from her would be quicker. However, Shen Jingyu's subordinates weren't idle—they preferred to find answers themselves.
In this society, anyone who had done something would leave traces behind. It was definitely easier for them to uncover these details than for others.
As for why they hadn't reached a conclusion quickly, that was simply due to the man's orders.
At this point, Luo Hao felt somewhat confused. Was the boss doing this for the Shen Family, for Shen himself, or just to make Su Xing worry?
