The next day, I rushed to the law firm. Everyone had strange expressions on their faces. After asking, I found out that there was news today that a new suspect had emerged in the case of Xing Zhaoping. If it’s true, I would definitely win this case.

But...

That day, I called Jiang Xiaoyu, and he told me that the person who turned himself in was named Huang Xu, a classmate of Leng Fei.

I went to see Leng Fei again.

She was just as quiet as before. This time, she didn't even put on a fake smile, lowering her head and looking at her hands.

"How are you?"

She didn't respond, not even a hint of reaction, like a walking corpse without a soul.

"You have a good relationship with Hao Mei, right? So how is her relationship with your husband?"

I knew if she was aware of her husband's relationship with Hao Mei, there would definitely be some kind of reaction.

I stared closely at her. Although she wasn’t hysterical, her hands tightly clutched her sleeves, and her breathing was no longer as calm as before.

I don't know what caused her to become like this.

Although we hadn't met many times, I could feel that she was definitely not someone who would resolve issues in extreme ways.

"What’s their relationship like? Are they very close?"

At that moment, I felt very

cold-blooded. I could tell her about Huang Xu turning himself in, and she definitely wouldn’t remain silent like she was now. But I chose to provoke her.

Because only like this would she show a little bit of genuine emotion, which was the most useful to me.

Upon hearing my words, Leng Fei gripped the table in front of her, her knuckles turning white, yet she still didn’t say a word to me.

This confirmed my previous suspicion—

She knew about Xing Zhaoping and Hao Mei, and she might have even played a role in it.

The reason Hao Mei went to Wang Yu was probably because of Leng Fei’s behind-the-scenes manipulation.

For so many days, the doubts that had been lingering in my mind were now like a flash of lightning, tearing a hole in the dark, occasionally letting me glimpse the sky behind the dark clouds.

But why did she do it?

"There’s also someone named Wang Yu. You know who that is, right? I saw her a few days ago. Young, beautiful, and a talented musician. No one would dislike her."

The indifference she had been feigning was finally torn to shreds by me, her brows furrowed deeply, a fierce look in her eyes.

I felt a kind of uncontrollable pleasure inside. I couldn’t say what it was, but it made me feel very good.

"Leng Fei, do you want to talk now?"

Her tired eyes looked at me, giving the illusion that we were meeting for the first time. She was full of wariness, and said to me with difficulty, "Lawyer Zhao, you really are a master at playing with people's hearts. What do you want to say?”

I sat there casually, spreading my hands, a smile not touching my eyes, "What do you know?"

I wasn’t in a hurry, because she would eventually tell me what she knew.

After a long silence, her voice finally came, "Yes, Xing Zhaoping, he cheated, and it was with my good friend. I found out very early, but my good friend didn’t know. A man like Xing Zhaoping, selfish and arrogant, enjoys the flowers, applause, and the gaze of women."

"He treats women as accessories. With one Hao Mei, there will be a second, a third..."

"So not long after, I discovered the existence of Wang Yu, and I wasn't surprised. But I quietly let Hao Mei discover it unintentionally. I understand her, she’s very self-righteous and would definitely help me solve some problems."

"Sure enough, she drove Wang Yu away."

I breathed a sigh of relief, finally clarifying one thing. I didn’t plan to delve too much into it, "You have a classmate named Huang Xu, right?”

Her gaze fell on me, silently questioning. I didn’t intend to hide it, as it could get more information this way.

"He turned himself in, saying he was the one who killed.”

After hearing this, Leng Fei laughed. At first, covering her mouth and lightly laughing, then bursting into laughter, "Him? He wouldn’t even step on an ant, kill someone?”

She seemed to have heard a more absurd joke than the sun rising from the west.
