Chen Ying lowered her head hesitantly. On the other hand, the boy with the buzz cut beside her explained to Yin Tao and Feng Jing directly, “Liu Jing’s father is a gambler. Because of this, Liu Jing’s finances have always been very tight. She can’t repay the debt her family owes even if she took on several jobs at the same time.”
The boy seemed to be worried that his girlfriend would be angry, so he explained to her, “Xiaoying, I know you don’t want to talk about Liu Jing’s family background, but aren’t we trying to help find her sooner? Aren’t you also very worried about her safety?”
Chen Ying lowered her head and seemed to have made up her mind. “Actually, I’m really worried about Jingjing. She’s quite short of money. I’m afraid she’ll be deceived. Do you have a way to find her?”
Yin Tao and Feng Jing looked at each other. It seemed that the help Liang Yi had mentioned to Liu Jing was probably in terms of money.
“Well do our best to find her, but we still need more reasons why she might have disappeared.” Yin Tao thought for a moment and continued to ask Chen Ying, “Do you know what kind of work Liu Jing did before she disappeared?”
Chen Ying nodded and said, “There are so many. There’s a milk tea shop, a breakfast shop, and a bar. She was working almost all the time, so she doesn’t go back to school much.”
“Can you write down the exact locations?” Feng Jing handed Chen Ying a piece of blank paper and a pen, asking her to write down the locations where Liu Jing had worked.
“I might not remember it accurately, but the general location should be right. Because I have spoken to her about this before, I even advised her to work less so that she wouldn’t tire herself out.” Chen Ying took the pen and paper and started recalling earnestly.
The boy with the buzz cut sitting beside her also looked like he was thinking. “Forensic doctor, actually, there were previously some rumors on Liu Jing in the school forum.”
Before the boy could finish speaking, Chen Ying, who was writing, said unhappily, “Those are all rumors slandering Jingjing. She’s not a vain girl. Don’t bring up what happened in the past. I’m disgusted.”
Seeing that Chen Ying was angry, the boy hurriedly apologized and explained, “That’s not what I meant. I just want the police to know that someone was slandering her. Perhaps these people are the ones who caused Liu Jing’s disappearance.”
Seeing how nervous the boy was, Yin Tao couldn’t help but try to mediate. “Chen Ying, your boyfriend is also trying to help us find clues. These rumors are also very important. Can you tell us in detail?”
“They’re all slandering Jingjing, saying that she relied on improper means to earn money.” Chen Ying thought of what had happened previously and couldn’t help but be a little angry. “They said that Jingjing was a kept woman just because she was pretty.”
“Was it just a baseless accusation? Did anyone have any evidence or had anyone seen anything at that time?” Feng Jing asked very rationally.
Chen Ying pulled a long face. “Don’t tell me you suspect that Jingjing is that kind of person? I actually know her quite well. Although Jingjing is short of money, she won’t sell her body.”
Chen Ying seemed to be worried that Feng Jing and Yin Tao wouldn’t believe her. She tugged at her boyfriend’s sleeve and added, “Awhile ago, a wealthy heir wooed her. At that time, it was very high-profile and the school was in an uproar. However, Jingjing still rejected him in the end.”
The buzz cut boy also recalled what Chen Ying had said and confirmed to Feng Jing and Yin Tao, “That’s true. That wealthy heir is very famous in City A. If Liu Jing was such a vain person, she would have agreed long ago.”
“Wealthy heir? Do you know who that person is?” Feng Jing was interested in this sudden mission. Those who had pursued Liu Jing should have a certain understanding of her.
“I think he’s the young master of the Jiang Corporation. He’s especially wealthy. At that time, he sent Jingjing flowers and gifts every day. The girls in school were extremely envious.”
After Chen Ying finished speaking, Feng Jing and Yin Tao realized that the wealthy and powerful young master of the Jiang family she was talking about was probably an old acquaintance of theirs.
“Did Liu Jing do anything abnormal before she disappeared?” Feng Jing made a mental note of Jiang Xing’s name.
“Nothing special.” Chen Ying shook her head, feeling that she had already told him everything she could think of.
“Thank you for your cooperation. We will try our best to find Liu Jing.” Yin Tao saw that she couldn’t get anything more out of them, so she ended the questioning with Feng Jing..
