Chapter 885: [Bonus chapter] Bizarre Case
Raelle put the glass of water on the table and sat on the sofa. She looked at Anna who was still standing and said, "Just sit down."
"Yes," said Anna and took a seat.
"Tell me," started Raelle. "Tell me everything you know."
"Where should I begin?" asked Anna.
"Let's start from my mother-in-law," suggested Raelle. "Was it an accident or a man-made accident?"
Anna had a strange expression before stating, "It was an accident."
"Oh?" Raelle responded. "So, the Tang family is truly innocent?"
"No," replied Anna.
"What do you mean?"
"Although Mrs. Shui really died in an accident, that's only because her life was at its end," said Anna. She took out her tablet and offered it to Raelle saying, "I'll say this is the most bizarre case of my life. As you can see, the Tang family indeed planned to kill Mrs. Shui in an accident. Everything was prepared. But fate had its own plan."
Raelle looked through the information she passed her seriously.
"The accident was planned to happen on the 5th avenue intersection but Mrs. Shui lost control of the car at the previous intersection and got into an accident that took her life. So, I'm not sure whether I should say the Tang family is innocent or not. It's hard for me to decide. What would you say, Missy?"
Raelle finally understood why she said this was a bizarre case. Even she'd say the same. Someone planned to kill Mrs. Shui on that night but fate took her life even before any human could. If she hadn't lost control of her car, she'd have gotten into an accident planned by the Tang family. One way or another, she was actually meant to die that night.
So, that's what they mean when they say, man has a thousand plans, heaven but one.
You can plan all you want, but you can never fight against heaven's will.
No matter what, Raelle was actually satisfied with this result. She definitely didn't want to tell her husband that his ex-wife's family killed his mother. That'd be really pushing him down the edge and she couldn't do that. Now, it was at least easier to tell him that his mother did die in an accident. As for whether to talk about the Tang family's plans or not... She'll have to think about how and when to mention it to him.
Right now was definitely not a good time for this revelation.
"This is heaven playing its game," added Anna.
Raelle nodded in agreement with her and looked up at her, "What about the other thing I asked about? Justin... Tang Hebe's dear son. What do you know?"
"Nothing," answered Anna honestly.
"Nothing?" repeated Raelle.
"Nothing at all before his adoption at least," added Anna. "His information that we got is after he was adopted by Tang Hebe two years ago. Before that, there is no information. Obviously, there are signs of someone purposely removing his existence but we aren't able to uncover anything. I tried everything in my power but it didn't work."
"So, you don't know how his mother or father is?" asked Raelle.
"Yes," replied Anna. "We don't know anything about that. In fact, Miss Tang Hebe adopted him in Country M but when we went there, it was obvious that only legal adoption processing was done there. Both Miss Tang and Justin never lived there at all."
"And what do you think about this?"
Anna sighed, "I honestly don't know. It was easier to uncover the details of Mrs. Shui's accident. But somehow finding out the identity of a little boy became very difficult. We spent a lot of time and effort on this but to no avail. We kept coming back to a dead end. And from personal experience, I can say that the little boy isn't that simple."
"No," said Raelle. "Little Justin is very simple. You should say whoever his parents are... They are definitely not simple."
Anna nodded her head, "Yes, Missy is right. The only reason they'd try to cover the tracks is..."
"They are trying to protect him," said Raelle. "Since his parents aren't simple, their identities can put him in danger as well. So, they did everything to hide his identity instead. Now, the question is whether his parents are really dead and that's why he was adopted by Tang Hebe or the parents gave him away to live a simple and happy life away from the dangers that surrounded them?"
Anna was silent for a while before asking, "Missy, are you interested in that little kid?"
"Interested," answered Raelle without any hesitation. "He likes dinosaurs. He is good with maths. How can I not be interested in him?"
Anna wasn't really surprised by that answer. Indeed, only Raelle would be able to develop interest in someone because of such simple things. Who else would do it like her?
"Then I should look into it more," said Anna.
"Forget it," said Raelle. "Go and take some rest. I'll take it from here."
"Missy, what are you gonna do?" asked Anna curious.
"Simple, I'll just go ask the adopted mother," replied Raelle. "No one should know better about Justin's identity than the one who willingly adopted him. So, why should I continue to waste time looking here and there?"
"Oh..." Anna finally understand and even agreed. Indeed, they could just ask Tang Hebe. "But will she tell you anything?"
Raelle gave her a look.
Anna smiled awkwardly, "Right, how can anyone not speak the truth when you're the one asking?" Anna sighed to herself since Raelle didn't even have to use torture like them to get what she wanted to hear from others. Her words were enough to trap people and make them spill the beans willingly.
Raelle stood up and said, "Then I should get to it."
"Right now?" asked Anna.
"Now is fine to me," replied Raelle. She had nothing else to do, so she'll just pay Tang Hebe a visit to figure out the things that's been on her mind.
