Chapter 1051: Chapter 519: Unconditional Trust? Werewolves Backstabbing Each Other_2
Then she turned to tell Luo Fei.
"Mr. Luo, just earlier, I had a fight with him."
It turns out, Lin Zimo just met Jin Hongwen. However, the father and daughter were not pleased. Instead, they parted on bad terms.
"I told him, I knew everything. In the end, he said I understood nothing. I don’t even know how much effort he put into distancing himself from me."
"He also said the reason he keeps his distance from me is that he doesn’t want to acknowledge our relationship. He thinks I’m a burden, so he tries everything to distance himself from me and avoid acknowledging me."
Upon hearing Lin Zimo say this.
Her tone was somewhat dejected.
Luo Fei also nodded continuously.
"Miss Lin, I understand your point."
"You know, he deliberately said these things to make you uncomfortable, to keep you at a distance, to ultimately protect you. But you still feel. It’s uncomfortable for you. Even feel. It’s excessive for him to say such things on purpose?"
Seeing that Luo Fei instantly understood her mind.
Lin Zimo neither confirmed nor denied.
"Yes, I know he didn’t mean it."
"But I still feel sad. And it’s awkward for me too."
Up to this point, Lin Zimo was almost in tears.
"Mr. Luo, do you think I’m not worthy of being loved?"
Lin Zimo asked with a hint of doubt as she looked at Luo Fei.
But he quickly shook his head.
"Not at all. Why would you think that, Miss Lin?"
At this moment.
Luo Fei truly seemed a bit lost.
He really didn’t expect.
Lin Zimo would suddenly speak out so startlingly.
But Lin Zimo took a deep breath.
And said with frustration.
"Mr. Luo, even though I keep telling myself not to think like this."
"But I just can’t help it, especially these past couple of days. When I think about what I’ve been through before, I can’t help but feel down."
"Not only did I hurt my mother. But I also disappointed my biological father. I was so eager to know the truth back then. But now I just feel that maybe the truth isn’t that important. Is this really what I wanted?"
Upon saying this.
Lin Zimo just felt a lump in her throat.
Recognizing that Lin Zimo seemed hesitant to speak further.
Clearly feeling a bit at a loss.
Luo Fei smiled to console her.
"Lin Zimo. Isn’t that a normal thing?"
"Sometimes, we just have to think about what kind of price we’re paying for doing something. It’s all natural."
"You want to know the truth, which might make your family uncomfortable. They’ll be disappointed because of it. That’s inevitable, isn’t it?"
Noticing Luo Fei gave a slightly helpless smile.
Lin Zimo pouted.
Because she knew.
She had said before.
She really wasn’t hoping for her father to reconcile with her.
After all, it’s pointless; their father-daughter relationship is beyond repair.
However, if she were to completely sever ties with her father now.
She would feel somewhat sympathetic.
"Miss Lin, from my perspective. You feel like you’ve wronged your father."
"After all, he used to care for you lovingly, often showing concern for you. But you misunderstood all this, even thinking he was a weirdo. So you feel guilty, yet you can’t bring yourself to apologize because he abandoned you first. You feel like you can’t face him, right?"
Seeing her being looked at earnestly.
Yet easily having her thoughts exposed.
Lin Zimo felt a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, you’re right."
But watching Lin Zimo hesitating to speak.
Looking like she was still a bit shy.
Luo Fei chuckled it off.
"Miss Lin, actually, with things like this. You both might as well call it even, right?"
"After all, for a long time, he didn’t acknowledge you, didn’t admit his mistakes, out of guilt and also wanting to save face. It’s all perfectly understandable."
When Luo Fei got to this point.
Lin Zimo understood his hint.
"Mr. Luo, are you suggesting that if neither of us breaks the deadlock. We might just keep on misunderstanding each other forever?"
"Yes, after all, you both care about saving face. Even if, in the future, Jin Hongwen doesn’t commit a crime and is truly released, the conflict between you two will likely continue."
"Because neither of you is willing to take that first step, neither of you is willing to admit your own mistakes."
But Luo Fei’s analysis made Lin Zimo pout.
"Mr. Luo, do you mean that you hope I’m the one who can take that first step to break the deadlock?"
"Not at all. I’m just providing an objective analysis, but the decision of what to do specifically is up to you."
"And it’s possible that once both of you calm down, he might take that first step, too."
Luo Fei’s words.
Made Lin Zimo somewhat hesitant.
Although there was a bit of eagerness.
But from Lin Zimo’s point of view now.
She couldn’t immediately just let go of her frustration.
Turn around and apologize to Mr. Jin.
"Miss Lin, let’s talk about what you mentioned earlier."
Almost simultaneously.
With a reminder from Luo Fei.
Lin Zimo snapped back to her senses.
She quickly agreed.
"Mr. Luo, I actually found someone on an online forum who messaged me for help, saying she had experienced something similar to Hu Xueli, and the other person was very persistent. Later, I found out she was actually a junior at the same school as me."
"She also planned to meet me at this café. She said she had almost the same experience as Hu Xueli."
"At that time, it was Young Master Huang who pursued her. Even though he knew she liked the stray cats on campus, he still deliberately poisoned and killed them. So she was very upset, but the police wouldn’t help, so she kept it to herself."
Hearing her say this.
Luo Fei just furrowed his brow slightly.
Because he encountered too many such people.
People like them.
Usually harbor inner darkness, twisted.
So they vent their anger on small animals.
"But if people like this frequently do such things. Over time."
"They will likely develop even more twisted minds, leading to more terrifying actions."
At this moment.
Seeing Luo Fei’s serious analysis.
Lin Zimo neither confirmed nor denied.
"Yes, Mr. Luo, this time, I completely agree with you. So I was thinking. If we could follow the clues, check the school’s surveillance, it might be very helpful to us."
Lin Zimo spoke earnestly.
Luo Fei also nodded repeatedly.
"You’re right. Although we might not be able to retrieve the surveillance footage from back then, if we can interview the involved parties, we might understand some clues related to Mr. Huang."
When Luo Fei got to this point.
His expression grew more solemn.
Almost at the same time.
A middle-aged lady brought a young girl to Luo Fei.
"Officer, I apologize for my daughter’s rash behavior, but she truly doesn’t know anything."
"As for the matter about Mr. Huang, she’s oblivious. She just talked nonsense."
The lady spoke, full of apologies.
But Luo Fei clearly saw the girl beside her had tears on her cheeks.
And she bit her lip.
Her face full of defiance.
Lin Zimo asked at this moment.
"Girl, are you the one online named ’Blossoms in Summer’?"
Hearing Lin Zimo ask this.
The other also neither confirmed nor denied.
"Yes, that’s me."
Seeing her agree.
Luo Fei said.
"Ma’am, by law, citizens have the obligation to cooperate with police investigations. Your daughter previously claimed to know the facts, and now suddenly changes her statement. Our police can fully detain her for obstructing law enforcement."
