For some reason, Lian Jing felt that this boy was wary of him. He walked over with a stern look, his tall figure towering over the boy’s little body. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“You’re not asleep either.” Shen Nian put his hands on his waist as if he was guarding against a thief. “Mom is very tired today and needs to rest early. If you have anything to discuss with her, you can do it tomorrow.
Lian Jing squatted down so that their eyes could meet. He looked at the face that resembled his. His tone softened. “I’m sorry that I only found out about your existence today. Grandpa likes you very much. Tomorrow, can you help me to persuade your mother to move here?”
Shen Nian discerned the truth. “You want to woo my mother.”
Lian Jing paused for a moment. He did not expect a six-year-old child to know about such things. Then, he stroked the boy’s hair helplessly. “If your mother and I love each other, it will only benefit you, right?”
Shen Nian nodded hesitantly, but when he thought of Shen Yin’s past experiences, his expression turned cold. “But you have to promise me that you will respect Mom. Before Mom promises you anything, you can’t touch her, or force her to do anything she doesn’t like.”
Lian Jing readily agreed and patted the boy’s head before returning to his room.
Shen Yin, who had a busy morning, was now fast asleep. She had no idea that these two men had reached an agreement behind her back.
But when she hurried downstairs the next day and saw a familiar Maserati parked at the door waiting for her, she realized dazedly that she had somehow moved in with a man.
“Get in.” Lian Jing’s words were concise and his tone brooked no refusal.
Shen Yin looked around, but in this huge villa, she could not even tell where the main entrance was. Afraid that she would be late for work, she gritted her teeth and got into the car. Then, she quickly made her boundaries clear. “Just send me somewhere near to the police station. I’ll walk to work.”
Lian Jing snorted. “You don’t like my car?”
I don’t like you.
Shen Yin cursed in her heart and ignored him by turning her head to look at the road outside the window.
Perhaps her distant attitude affected him, but Lian Jing actually obediently stopped at the street near the police station.
Shen Yin was glad that he did not deliberately make a fuss. After thanking him politely, she entered the police station right on time.
The hospital record that she had given Wu Zheng before she left yesterday had been very important. Team Three worked overtime yesterday and retrieved the complete medical record, including the recording of the consultation with the medical and psychology specialists.
“What did you find?” She made a cup of coffee and placed it on Zou Sheng’s table. “To give you energy. You’ve worked hard.”
“Thank you, Sister Shen.” Zou Sheng took a sip and his head cleared a little. “I’m afraid there’s domestic violence or other problems in Lu Feng’s family. Look at this.”
He showed Shen Yin a video recording of the consultation with the psychologist. In the video, Lu Feng was leaning against the soft and comfortable sofa, but his expression was tense. He frowned and fearfully muttered “no”.
In fact, as the doctor woke him up from his hypnotic trance, he began to retch violently. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had just experienced something very disgusting.
Shen Yin asked thoughtfully, “Didn’t Meng Heng say that his parents deliberately pretended to be very loving when the police were present? Maybe they’re trying to hide something. Moreover, the neighbors said that they heard strange noises coming from their house. But would domestic violence cause such a reaction?”
She looked at the recording of Lu Feng. His face was pale and he was vomiting non-stop. Her heart sank.
The truth was probably far more unpalatable than they imagined.
Zou Sheng did not miss the subtle changes in her expression. He asked hesitantly, “Sister, have you had an idea?”
Shen Yin nodded. “I’ll do another detailed examination of the wounds on the corpse.”
“What are you looking for?” Zou Sheng asked in confusion.
Shen Yin turned and sighed. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed. “I hope I’m wrong.”
However, when Shen Yin carefully checked the wounds on the chest and back, her unbearable hypothesis was confirmed.
She put away the body parts and walked into Team Three’s office. She stopped in front of the busy Captain Wu Zheng. “I suspect that Lu Feng was sexually harassed at home for a long time when he was alive.”
