“Uhm, our investigation shows that she is Zhao Er’s ex-wife. This may be disrespectful but you’re probably Zhao Er’s son,” Xu Lan said with conviction and not suspicion. They were too fixated on the elder brother’s two children to the point that they overlooked the fact that Zhao Er was once a married man. Xu Lan did not give Zhao Ran a chance to explain himself before continuing with his bombardment.
“Xiao Zhang learned about Mama Song when he was looking into the missing people. Through Mama Song, he learned about your mother and noticed that you are an investor in the little hotel owned by your mother in Laos. The hotel was situated right next to the Zhao family’s project. Is this true?”
“Yes. Afterall, she is my mother. She is old and unattractive to men now, I can’t just watch her die of starvation on the streets,” Zhao Ran spoke with zero respect for his mother. He was probably bothered by the fact that he was abandoned.
“Uh huh. However, we found this on her computer and her phone,” Xu Lan said as he showed him a smart phone with the Sparrow Game frozen on the screen.
As Zhao Ran did not speak, Xu Lan refrained from talking too. When Hu Cheng and Xiao Feng walked in, they were tempted to give Xu Lan a good bashing. They were wondering how did Xu Lan get his hands on these files!
“Uh, you guys are here. I was just about to tell you about this.” Xu Lan smiled apologetically as the information came to him not long ago.
Wang Meng marched in and was about to land a punch on Xu Lan’s back. Bai Wu intercepted his punch. The bruises on Wang Meng’s wrist were as green as Xiao Feng’s face.
“Cough cough, it’s fine, it’s fine. Let’s focus on what’s important.” Xu Lan chuckled and invited everyone over, as the events that were about to unfold were the highlights that no one should miss.
Song Xi was the first to walk in. She was holding a thermos mug filled with chicken soup. Zhao Ran trailed behind. They were here to visit Mama Song. For some reason, Mama Song fell sick and was rushed into the hospital by Zhao Ran. When they came in, Mama Song was no longer in the ward. The mine owner was the only one there.
Zhao Ran stared for a moment before sending Song Xi out and waking the mine owner up. He whispered in the mine owner’s ears and showed him something. The mine owner was terrified and curled up in shivers at the corner. Zhao Ran seemed to be satisfied with the reaction he elicited from the mine owner. He offered another serving of chicken soup to the mine owner, who furiously flipped the mug and spilled the chicken soup. When the mine owner started to slam his head repeatedly against the wall, Zhao Ran left the room with the thermos mug in his hand. That was when Bai Wu caught him in his tracks!
This was the reason why Zhao Ran was brought here as a suspect.
“What is this? She’s still into games at her game?” Zhao Ran took a glance before snickering.
“Of course not. This phone and the computer did not belong to your mother, but they are yours, right?” Xu Lan tossed the fingerprints report toward Zhao Ran.
“Is it my fault that she’s too attached to my old belongings like old phone and old computer? It’s just a game. Are you telling me that there are people who have never played games?” Zhao Ran remained calm and composed in spite that the evidence all painted him in a negative light.
“Uhm, why don’t you meet someone then?” Xu Lan was not angered by Zhao Ran’s illogical defense, as Zhao Ran probably thought that Xu Lan did not have solid evidence against him. Xu Lan clapped and Ka Daiwen walked in.
A person whose hands were cuffed trailed after her. It was Li Xiu!
