Chapter 2709: Couldn’t Pry Anything Out of Cheng Fei’s Mouth

Ning Shu comforted her. “If Cheng Fei wasn’t a psychopath, he would’ve indeed been a good son-in-law.”

But he probably wouldn’t have been as perfect.

“Divorce him as soon as possible. We can’t delay it any longer. What if Cheng Fei gets out of jail?” Mother Ai was very worried.

Professor Ai frowned and said to Ning Shu, “We’ll only be safe if there is a way to keep Cheng Fei in prison.”

“Dad, if there’s evidence to prove that Cheng Fei killed his adoptive parents and his adoptive sister, then he won’t simply be charged with attempted murder.

“It’d be an international crime.” Ning Shu couldn’t help sighing. “I tried all the soft and hard tactics but still couldn’t pry anything out of Cheng Fei’s mouth. If we’re able to charge him with the crime of inciting a kidnapping, with multiple criminal offenses occurring at the same time, his sentence would be more severe.”

“The problem is that Li Chen has already pleaded guilty to instigating the kidnapping. The evidence also matches up.” Professor Ai’s face and facial features were scrunched up. “Why must our family meet someone like Cheng Fei?”

Mother Ai was now furious. “Let me try and remember who it was that introduced Cheng Fei to us. I’ll dig up their ancestral grave, just you wait!”

Ning Shu suddenly realized how dangerous beauty could be.

Beauty could attract all sorts of bees and butterflies. Being inconspicuous was without a doubt the safest way to be.

Beautiful women often suffered unhappy fates.

Ai Yun was not very beautiful, but she had a unique aura. She stood out in a crowd and anyone who even so much as glanced at her wouldn’t be able to forget her.

Just being beautiful wasn’t enough. A beautiful person must also have the ability to protect themselves and their beauty.

Otherwise, they’d end up as fuel to a tragedy.

Beauty was a double-edged sword. It could either be a blessing or a curse.

Alas, one could only blame herself for being too beautiful.

Ning Shu touched her face and sighed.

Mother Ai nudged Ning Shu. “Ai Yun, I’m talking to you. What do you think?”

“Hm? Then I’ll file for a divorce. I’ve wanted to for a long time anyway.”

Ning Shu went back to her room to rest. She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

She’d been tensed up for so long. As soon as she relaxed, all the exhaustion washed over her.

That, coupled with her previous use of spiritual consciousness, exhausted her mentally and made her feel unwell.

By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Mother Ai had made chicken soup for Ning Shu. “Drink it.”

Ning Shu drank it. Then, seeing Mother Ai’s guilty expression, she said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

“Why did you agree to go on a trip with him when you knew what kind of person he was?” Mother Ai wanted to hit Ning Shu again, but she pulled back her hand at the realization that Ning Shu was still injured.

“You even wounded yourself. What were you thinking?” Mother Ai kept going.

“What was I supposed to do, then? I lured the wolf into the house because I couldn’t catch his pigtails at all. At least Cheng Fei can be charged with attempted murder now,” Ning Shu helplessly said.

Mother Ai had also been constantly nagging her to get back with Cheng Fei.

What was she supposed to do? She was very desperate, alright?

Ning Shu could feel that Cheng Fei was suspicious of her. She had thought that perhaps he would slip if she went on a trip with him.

She even took the initiative to bait him into it. However, Cheng Fei was so used to wearing his mask that, even under such circumstances, he didn’t utter a single incriminating word.

He denied her accusations from start to finish.

It was so infuriating!

Ning Shu went to the police station. She met the policeman who was investigating the kidnapping case and asked, “Have you asked Li Chen why he went to that coffee shop?”

“He said he just went to that coffee shop on a whim.”

Ning Shu chuckled. “And do you believe that?”
