Seeing that Shi Man’s eyes were about to reveal disdain, Chen Wei waved his hand and said, “Sister Man, don’t misunderstand. 1 didn’t lie to them to make them commit suicide for me. I also paid for the breakup after that. It was consensual!”
Shi Man rolled her eyes at him; she was not interested in his past love life at all. “Since you know so much about this, can you tell me if this method can really make people commit suicide?”
“Yes.” Chen Wei gave an answer with certainty. “The party who has been mentally suppressed for a long time will feel more and more inseparable from the perpetrator. Once they are abandoned by the other party, they will doubt themselves too much and feel inferior or even depressed. In the end, they will choose to give up their lives.”
After saying that, he stole a glance at the two of them and asked carefully, “Do you suspect that Xiao Hui’s death was due to Duan Jia’s Pick-up Artist tactics?”
Shi Man’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Are you confident that you can get useful information from Duan Jia? We now suspect that this is an organized and premeditated induced suicide.”
Chen Wei was shocked, and his pupils suddenly dilated for a moment. Then, he nodded firmly and said, “I can. As long as I keep cooperating with Duan Jia and pretend to be subdued by her to gain her trust, I will definitely dig out more clues.”
“Have you thought it through?” Shi Man reminded him especially seriously. “If you don’t stay awake in this relationship, your life might be in danger. Speaking of which, this matter actually doesn’t have much to do with you. You can totally choose not to get involved.”
“I’ve thought about it. I’m going to do it.”
The moment Shi Man finished speaking, Chen Wei agreed to this matter firmly again. He even smiled generously and said, “So what if I’m really implicated one day? Don’t think that 1 can’t keep my head on my shoulders just because I’m not good at studying.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows in surprise. She took out a small listening device from her pocket and handed it to him. “This thing also has a recording function. We’ll keep in touch.”
Chen Wei put the things in his pocket and opened the car door with a smile. “Alright, then wait for my good news!”
With that, he jumped out of the car and his figure quickly melted into the night.
What he did not say was that the reason why he was willing to put himself in danger in this matter was actually to completely gain Shi Man’s trust.
Chen Wei had done many wicked things in the past. It was obvious that he could not make Shi Man trust him based on his verbal display of loyalty.
That was why he needed to make a difference.
If he could make Shi Man look at him in a different light through this matter and let him follow her in the future, it would not matter even if his life was really threatened.
Shi Man could be his backer.
The car quietly sped through the dark night and arrived at the Shi family in a moment. Unexpectedly, a car was already waiting outside.
Chief Zheng had been busy for the past few days, and his eyes were already bruised, but this fatigue did not affect his sharp eyes at all.
“Uncle Zheng.” Shi Man slowly walked over and greeted him as if nothing had happened.
It was already late at night. For Chief Zheng to take the trouble to see her personally, there was probably something going on with Zheng Xin.
Indeed, in the next moment, Chief Zheng heaved a long sigh of relief. His tone was stern and helpless. “Xinxin wants to see you. She said that she can tell me who gave her the drugs and instructed her to harm your mother, but the condition is that she wants to talk to you alone.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly and was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, she said with a troubled expression, “I’m afraid this doesn’t conform to the rules of the police station, right?”
Chief Zheng shook his head and said, “We can’t care too much about the details now. The case is urgent and the higher-ups are watching too closely. If Xinxin doesn’t identify the person behind this, I’m afraid she will be taken away by the prosecutor’s office very quickly. At that time, there won’t be any room for negotiation.”
He looked up, allowing Shi Man to see the pleading in his eyes.
At this moment, he was no longer the cold and impartial director who enforced the law impartially. He was now just an ordinary old father who was eager to save his daughter.
Even if he had to forgo his uniform, he had to try his best to protect his only daughter.
Only then did Shi Man agree hesitantly. Looking at the light in Chief Zheng’s eyes, she immediately changed the topic. “But I have a request.”
Chief Zheng nodded readily. “Just tell me what you want. Our Zheng family has let you down this time. I’ll do my best to help you do whatever you want.”
As long as Shi Man could make Zheng Xin spit it out, he would not hesitate to take his old life.
Shi Man would not take his life. What she wanted was a promise.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. “I want you to guarantee that no one else knows about my conversation with Zheng Xin except you. I don’t want to get into trouble. In addition, even you can’t listen to our conversation.”
Chief Zheng thought that she didn’t want to get into trouble and be targeted, so he nodded in agreement without thinking..
