Chapter 284 - A Part Of The Truth (1)

Looking at Xia Zhetao's reaction, Mu Tingfeng's expression turned darker. He said coldly, "I'm asking you whether you have sent those doc.u.ments to my father-in-law or not."

"I've sent it. I've sent it! I asked someone to send it personally, so I can confirm that those doc.u.ments were delivered safely. Those doc.u.ments must already be in the hands of President Zhao," Xia Zhetao, who had returned to his senses, answered in a hurry.

He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead to congratulate himself on his narrow escape and complained at the same time, 'President, you haven't gotten back with the former Mrs. President yet, but you already calling President Zhao your father-in-law. You sure are shameless.'

Fortunately, Mu Tingfeng did not know what Xia Zhetao was thinking at this moment. Otherwise, with his personality, he would definitely pack Xia Zhetao into a suitcase and throw him into the deepest river outside the city to feed the fish.

Xia Zhetao glanced at the expression on Mu Tingfeng's face.. After confirming that he was not at all unhappy, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he handed the file that had been hidden behind him to Mu Tingfeng.

"President, I received this file just now. It contains information about the female police officer with the same name as Ms. Zhao."

The person Mu Tingfeng asked him to investigate was a civil servant after all. In order to find out her life experience in detail without being noticed, more time was needed compared to investigating an ordinary person. Xia Zhetao had almost completed the investigation of the incident of Zhao Youlin being hunted down. Then only those people who were responsible for investigating the female police officer slowly handed over the information to him.

The person in the hospital bed was shocked by Xia Zhetao's words, and he was silent for a while. Then, he directly took the file from Xia Zhetao's hand.

His deep eyes flickered for a moment. Then, he turned and looked at the person next to him. "Have you seen the things inside of this file?"

"No, no…" Xia Zhetao waved his hand in a hurry, trying his best to prove his innocence. "This file was just only sent over. As soon as I received it, I handed it over to you, President. I never opened it beforehand. Look, President. The bindings on the file are still fresh and taut."

Mu Tingfeng glanced at the file he was holding. It seemed like he was confirming the authenticity of Xia Zhetao's words.

After a while, Mu Tingfeng quietly closed his eyes and whispered, "Okay, you can go out first. You're not allowed to come in without my permission."

"Yes."

"Wait, there is another thing," Xia Zhetao was about to leave, but Mu Tingfeng suddenly said, "You must not let Youlin know that I asked you to investigate this person, otherwise…"

"I get it. I get it. I promise to keep my mouth shut. I won't tell anyone." Xia Zhetao's face became stiff, and he nodded hurriedly to show that he understood.

Mu Tingfeng nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, you may leave now."

After getting permission, Xia Zhetao turned around and left the ward, as if he was escaping. When he left, he also closed the door. Then, he leaned against the wall directly and let out a sigh of relief.

Just now, he almost thought that he was going to be murdered so that no one would know about the investigation. Fortunately, he was witty, and he knew what he should or should not look at.

As soon as Xia Zhetao left, Mu Tingfeng could not wait anymore and untied the rope on the file. However, he hesitated when he pulled out the doc.u.ments in the file.

Of course, this hesitation only lasted for a few seconds. After that, Mu Tingfeng still pulled out the doc.u.ments inside.

They were white papers with content typed in black ink. The first thing that Mu Tingfeng saw was not the words on the doc.u.ments but a photo. In the photo, a person was wearing a tidy police uniform. Her face that could be considered pretty had a bright smile.

It was a face that was nothing similar to Zhao Youlin's face, but it stirred up Mu Tingfeng's feelings differently. It was all because of the eyes of the person in the photo.

Those stubborn and forbearing eyes with a little determination looked just like Zhao Youlin's eyes when she bit his hand that was holding on to her and stared at him fiercely at the pet shop that day.

Mu Tingfeng pursed his lips. Then, his gaze immediately s.h.i.+fted to the other information beside the photo.

Zhao Youlin, female. She was born in January, 1988, and she graduated from Star Military Academy. After that, she joined Shalnork's police station as the captain of the first unit of the SWAT team. On October 23, 2015, she died in the line of duty during a mission.

Mu Tingfeng's fingertip gently slid across the paper which recorded the date when Zhao Youlin died due to her mission.

October 23, 2015…

Mu Tingfeng clearly remembered that Su Qing returned to the country in mid-October. After thinking about it for two or three days, he had decided to use Su Qing to get rid of the wife who had been pestering him for four years.

Then, it was the day she cut her wrist…

"Y-Young master, the madam, she… cut her wrist!'

Mu Tingfeng's mind clearly replayed the scene when he received the call. Su Qing was by his side at that time. When she heard about the news of Zhao Youlin cutting her wrist, she was shocked. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and glanced at him mockingly. She said, "Tingfeng, are you sure you don't want to go back and take a look? It seems like she was deeply hurt by you since she chooses today to commit suicide by cutting her wrist. Do you know what day it is today? Today is the fourth anniversary of your marriage."

At that time, he had hated Zhao Youlin's constant pestering. He was even more tired of Zhao Youlin using her own body to win sympathy every time, so he did not really think much about it.

Now that he thought about it, the day they got married… Was it not October 23rd four years ago?

In this case, when this person died, it happened to be the day when Zhao Youlin cut her wrist. Was it a coincidence or…?

Mu Tingfeng's heart trembled uncontrollably. He stopped thinking about it and continued to look down.

Most of the following contents were basically about Zhao Youlin's life, background, and various honors she received due to her outstanding performance in the police station. These were things that Mu Tingfeng was not particularly interested in.

Just when Mu Tingfeng thought he could not find any more clues from the information, a sentence that was briefly stated on the information caught his attention.

After Zhao Youlin died, she was buried in the Oak Cemetery.

This cemetery… Mu Tingfeng's expression changed slightly. He suddenly remembered that Xia Zhetao had told him that he had met Zhao Youlin once in a cemetery outside the city. There was only one cemetery in that direction in Shalnork, which was…

He looked down again. It was a series of honors that the person had previously received in the police academy. Close combat, shooting…

Mu Tingfeng suddenly remembered the woman who stared at him with the same look of admiration that Zhao Youxi had whenever she saw him and the arrogant Zhao Youlin that held another man while walking to his front confidently on the day of the divorce.

Now, Zhao Youlin was skillful in martial arts. She would beat the bullies fiercely when they bullied her; she would protect herself when other people wanted to deal with her, and she was even wise enough to deal with other people who wanted to hunt down her; she would shoot…

These were the things that the previous woman could never do.
