Chi Shuyan’s eyelids twitched when the man spat out the words “official husband.” Nevertheless, however he had found this information, he had really helped her a lot.
She would have kissed him if he hadn’t kissed her until her mouth hurt just now. Forget it, he would kiss her for a long while again later.
Chi Shuyan pursed her lips. After so long, her lips still hurt a little. She couldn’t be bothered to talk to this man anymore, and she hurriedly looked at the information.
The information on Tao Jiang was very detailed. She had very few relatives in China. Her parents died when she was five years old, and by chance, she was taken in by a black magic practitioner from T Country called Azancheng.
Speaking of which, Tao Jiang had a close connection to Shen Rongyin. Most unexpectedly, she was the disciple of the Warlock whom Chi Shuyan had seen with Shen Rongyin last time.
After looking at the information on Tao Jiang, Chi Shuyan then turned to look at the information on Shen Rongyin. This woman was indeed the daughter of a semi-retired commissar. The Shen family had a son and a daughter, but Shen Rongyin was very pampered at home. She had been the moon surrounded by stars since she was a child, and was even more favored than her brother.
She had also married twice, but her marriage life had been rough. Both husbands had died, but according to the intelligence, both of them had liked her very much. Impressions of her outside were also very good, and she was said to be a good-natured and kind stepmother.
However, one of the documents said that not long after Shen Rongyin married her second husband, the older stepson suddenly left home and the younger stepdaughter went missing; there had been no trace of her until now, and the case remained unsolved.
Because of this, Shen Rongyin had always felt very guilty. The public still had a good impression of her, and they all said that she was a good stepmother. After the incident, all the neighbors put in a good word for her.
That was because Shen Rongyin had been with her stepdaughter when they were both unfortunately abducted together, but the one who survived in the end was Shen Rongyin.
This missing stepdaughter had never been found; who knew if she was dead or alive.
When she read this, Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and lamented in her heart that this woman definitely wasn’t simple. She was simply terrifying!
Putting aside whether or not there was anything fishy about this cold case, just the fact that this woman survived made Chi Shuyan very suspicious.
Moreover, everything had flaws. As the saying went, no one was perfect. After seeing this woman twice, however, Chi Shuyan felt that she was too perfect.
Sometimes, “perfection” was a good word, and sometimes it wasn’t. Sometimes, when a person was too perfect, it could only be said that they were too good at pretending. Whether or not Shen Rongyin was pretending still had to be confirmed. If she was really pretending, however, she had been doing it for decades without revealing the slightest flaw. It was clear how meticulous and terrifying she was!
Chi Shuyan continued reading. Under the woman’s relationship status, it read: Wooing Boss’s future father-in-law. Unclear what their relationship is, but there’s a 90% chance they aren’t together.
It took Chi Shuyan a moment to realize that “Boss” was referring to the man in front of her, and that “future father-in-law” was referring to her father. The corners of her mouth immediately twitched. She looked up at the man, and Qi Zhenbai pursed his lips and said, “I wasn’t the one who collected this information.” After a pause, his thin lips curved up as he said, “Besides, Captain Chi is my father-in-law to begin with, so those boys weren’t mistaken!”
Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered with the man. However, seeing that her father and the Shen woman most likely weren’t together, she heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, this was good news. When she went to the military base, she could help her father draw a clear line with that woman..
