But now.

She's actually willing to acknowledge her mother.

This left Tang Zhenguang extremely shocked.

Almost couldn't believe his ears.

At this moment.

Seeing Tang Zhenguang seemingly in disbelief.

Tang Shiyu was also noncommittal.

"Brother, you haven't seen our mom for so many years, you must have a lot to talk about. The conflict between you two is complex enough."

"Also, because of father, I can really understand your feelings during this time. So I will try to empathize with you rather than being overly critical."

Tang Shiyu's generosity.

Warmed Tang Zhenguang's heart.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Luo Fei and Old Han arrived at an apartment building.

Upon seeing the scene resembling the style from the eighties and nineties.

Clearly belonging to the old district of Changli City.

Old Han couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

"Mr. Luo, who are we here to find?"

"Secretary Wang's family."

Luo Fei had called Guan Songhu earlier.

The other party also expressed sympathy and regret for Secretary Wang's family's ordeal.

"That Secretary Wang, when working, simply didn't use his brain. Since then, his son and wife have become like mice crossing the street."

"Speaking of which, his wife used to be my high school classmate. Even though everyone avoided him back then, I still give necessary condolences and care."

Guan Songhu spoke, his tone somewhat complex.

Luo Fei, however, immediately sensed something amiss.

"Director Guan, are you perhaps fond of Secretary Wang's wife, which is why you say these things?"

Luo Fei's sudden question left Guan Songhu a bit caught off guard.

He quickly denied.

"No, Mr. Luo, please don't say such things."

"I admit I spoke with Guan Liling, but that was more than 20 years ago..."

Though the other party strongly denied, his hesitant tone had already revealed something to Luo Fei.

But he remained unruffled on the surface.

He just accepted the hundred-dollar transfer from Director Guan.

Bought some fruit baskets and flowers for a home visit.

"Are you sent by Guan Songhu?"

"I've said many times, I don't need his care, nor does he need to go this far for me."

But just as the two reached the door of Guan Liling's house.

A middle-aged woman in a professional suit was looking at them disdainfully.

She was thin, her knuckles were coarse.

Among her short hair, a few white strands could be seen.

Her face appeared somewhat weary.

"Madam, are you Ms. Guan?"

Upon hearing Luo Fei's question.

Guan Liling appeared somewhat annoyed.

"Officer, aren't you sent by Guan Songhu?"

"In that case, there's no need for you to feign ignorance."

Guan Liling spoke composedly.

Yet her face showed a slight annoyance.

Luo Fei had to emphasize again.

"Ms. Guan, we're not sent by Guan Songhu. We're currently reexamining your husband's case, hoping to bring the real perpetrator to justice. So we hope you can actively cooperate."

But before Luo Fei could finish.

Guan Liling sneered.

"Officer, you seem like you're joking. This case has been so many years. If you had a way, it would have been resolved a long time ago. Why wait until now?"

"I see you are just a bunch of useless people. If you weren't incompetent, my husband's situation wouldn't still be unresolved."

Upon hearing Guan Liling's words.

Her tone was full of disdain.

Luo Fei's expression grew exceedingly serious.

"Ms. Guan, we sincerely want to reinvestigate this case, so we hope you can actively cooperate."

Luo Fei's tone was exceedingly serious.

His face full of earnestness.

Despite his resolute statement.

Guan Liling just gave a cold snort.

"There's absolutely no need. If you could uncover the truth, you would've investigated long ago."

"But the problem is, this matter has been so many years, and you still haven't found anything."

"So I see no reason to continue cooperating with you, doing something meaningless."

Clearly.

Because the case has never been resolved.

Now Guan Liling is almost in a state of complete abandonment.

She holds little hope for herself or the investigation.

But hearing Guan Liling's tone with disdain.

Clearly unwilling to cooperate.

Luo Fei had to speak somewhat sternly.

"Ms. Guan, up till now, the murderer is still at large. If not for him, your husband wouldn't have remained wrongfully accused, and the case unresolved. Don't you want to seek justice for him?"

"If there were justice, the verdict back then wouldn't have been that way, and it wouldn't have ended unresolved. So in my heart, there's nothing I can believe in, I don't hold any hope."

Guan Liling's tone carried some helplessness.

Her beautiful eyes dimmed.

As if she had lost all confidence.

Luo Fei spoke in a deep voice.

"Ms. Guan, what if I told you your son is also in danger. Because of the events back then, he might also be implicated. Those damned people might try to harm him. Can you still remain calm?"

Luo Fei's words startled Guan Liling.

"This can't be... those people have harmed my husband, and now they want to harm my son too??"

Guan Liling sounded incredulous.

Tone full of disbelief.

As if she never thought there would be someone doing such things.

Also trembling with anger.

Luo Fei spoke quietly.

"Ms. Guan, when you got involved with Jin Hongwen, you should've understood."

"He's the kind of person who won't stop until he achieves his goal. Since you've provoked him, he will use any means to achieve his end, won't he?"

Luo Fei's question.

Left Guan Liling unable to speak.

"That damned man, has already harmed us to this extent, and still doesn't intend to stop. What on earth does he want?"

"So to save your son, are you willing to cooperate with our police investigation?"

Luo Fei's tone was serious.

His face showed expectation.

Guan Liling, albeit reluctantly, agreed.

"Alright, Mr. Luo, tell me, what exactly do you need me to do, what should I do?"

Seeing the expectation.

Clearly willing to cooperate with the investigation.

Luo Fei then told her.

"Ms. Guan, we only hope you can actively cooperate with us, recount some details from the past case to us."

"Additionally, if necessary, we may need to reexamine the autopsy report and case files from back then, to see if we can uncover any leads."

Though Luo Fei said so.

Ms. Guan hesitated.

"Mr. Luo, can this really work?"

"After all, this case has been unresolved for a long time."

"Although the police have come many times in the past to ask about case details and understand the situation, they never managed to investigate Boss Jin."

Guan Liling's concern is justified.

Because Secretary Wang committed suicide, not homicide.

There's no direct link to Jin Hongwen.

This makes the case challenging.

Seeing her hesitation.

Luo Fei was extremely confident.

"Ms. Guan, rest assured, I ensure your husband won't just die in vain. Despite his wrongdoing, those who defrauded him are complete scum."

"Though we can't directly charge Jin Hongwen from this incident, perhaps we can find clues from this opportunity, which can help us bring Boss Jin to justice promptly."

Luo Fei was exceedingly confident.

Tone full of certainty.

Yet Guan Liling was still somewhat worried.

"Mr. Luo, are you sure we can capture Boss Jin?"

Despite her words.

She led Luo Fei upstairs, her attitude clearly unlike before.
