Chapter 1106: Chapter 547: Fired Up? A Newcomer Arrives
However, Luo Fei was full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm.
He was clearly mentally prepared for further investigation of the case.
Huang Weiming, on the other hand, twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, even somewhat incredulous.
"Mr. Luo, aren’t you working a bit too hard?"
"Really? I’ve gotten used to it."
Luo Fei genuinely didn’t think much of it.
At almost the same time,
the two had already parked the car at Xia Xiyi’s doorstep.
This made Huang Weiming momentarily a bit surprised.
"Mr. Luo, what are you doing here?"
"Investigating a case. Didn’t Xia Xiyi’s case remain unsolved before?"
While speaking,
Luo Fei had already dialed Xia Xiyi’s phone number.
Not giving Huang Weiming any time to react.
"Hello, Mr. Luo, aren’t you asleep so late?"
Hearing this, Xia Xiyi was slightly surprised.
But Luo Fei responded with a smile.
"Miss Xia, regarding the last case, there are actually some things I want to discuss with you. I’m just not sure if it’s convenient for you to come out now?"
Because the other party was a squad leader of the major crimes unit, still the leader of the police team.
He had achieved numerous meritorious deeds before and even backed her up.
Proving she had nothing to do with Zhao Hailing’s case.
Xia Xiyi didn’t think much of it at all.
She simply agreed readily.
"No problem. Please wait a moment, Mr. Luo, I’ll come down right away."
As the call ended,
Huang Weiming was a bit dumbfounded.
"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing that the other party was somewhat stunned,
almost unable to believe his own ears,
Luo Fei simply smiled without acknowledging or denying.
"Mr. Huang, although Zhao Ligang’s case is not much related to you,"
"I’m quite sure you must be involved in Xia Xiyi’s situation, right?"
Luo Fei’s rhetorical question left Huang Weiming speechless.
He could only take a deep breath, apologizing with a full face of regret.
"Mr. Luo, I was indeed a bit confused before, so I did some outrageous things."
But seeing the other party was a bit at a loss,
feeling somewhat embarrassed when speaking here,
Luo Fei spoke earnestly.
"Mr. Huang, regardless of your reasons, you indeed did this. That’s why I’m here. I hope you can personally apologize to Miss Xia in person. But I wonder, are you willing to do that, Mr. Huang?"
Even though Luo Fei said this,
Huang Weiming was still a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, although I can apologize, isn’t it a bit abrupt to do it this way?"
At this moment,
Huang Weiming felt genuinely awkward.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
But Luo Fei said nothing, simply gazed at him quietly for a while.
...
"Mr. Luo?"
After a while,
when Xia Xiyi came downstairs,
she also looked at Luo Fei with some surprise.
Because she didn’t expect him to come personally.
Seeing Xia Xiyi seemed a bit confused,
Luo Fei also smiled.
"Miss Xia, I’m really sorry to come find you alone so late. But I do have something urgent, concerning your grievance with Mr. Huang..."
On hearing Luo Fei’s words,
Xia Xiyi suddenly became tense.
"Mr. Luo, have you discovered any clues?"
At this moment,
Xia Xiyi was genuinely surprised.
Luo Fei patiently explained,
"Miss Xia, I roughly know what happened. But I also heard you have a cousin. Besides, he is not your father’s biological child but rather your father’s child with his stepmother. Am I correct?"
Luo Fei’s question put Xia Xiyi in an awkward spot.
Even though she felt a bit uncomfortable inside,
she still admitted it.
"You’re right, Mr. Luo."
"In that case, everything makes sense."
Luo Fei then scrolled down on his phone’s screen,
retrieving that reconciliation agreement.
Upon seeing the contents,
the stepmother had secretly signed it and asked Huang Weiming for two million as a dowry for her son’s future marriage and housing.
Xia Xiyi was truly taken aback.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Luo, you’re joking, right?"
At this moment,
Xia Xiyi genuinely felt a bit disoriented.
She never imagined,
her stepmother would use her in such a way.
It left her at a loss.
Seeing her disbelief,
Luo Fei continued,
"Miss Xia, in fact, several months ago, your stepmother had privately reconciled with Huang Weiming. That’s why she made every effort to prevent you from pursuing the matter further."
"And if Huang Weiming was willing to accept her absurd demands, there was no need to break the promise on his own initiative. It would’ve been pointless to harass you, wasting all his previous efforts, wouldn’t it?"
Luo Fei’s analysis made Xia Xiyi ponder for a moment.
"You’re right, Mr. Luo."
Seeing Xia Xiyi so agitated,
clearly suppressing her anger,
Luo Fei also comforted her.
"Miss Xia, if you wish to hold the other party accountable and further wish for us, the police, to cooperate in the investigation, I’m willing to assist."
But just while they were speaking,
behind them came a faint voice.
"Xia Xiyi, what are you doing? It’s so late, why aren’t you upstairs sleeping!"
Following the voice,
standing behind was,
no one else, but her stepmother.
Upon seeing her appear,
wearing slippers, with a messy hairstyle,
dressed in loose pajamas,
Xia Xiyi quietly asked,
"Mom, did you secretly sign a reconciliation agreement with Mr. Huang? Do you think this matter ends here, and my previous actions were just unreasonable?"
