Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 171: Becoming More Annoying

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Becoming More Annoying

"He doesn’t know, and I don’t plan on telling him," Ye Yan said firmly. "This child has nothing to do with him. When he grows up, I won’t tell him about his father either."

"However, isn’t it somewhat unfair to the child? He has the right to know who his father is," Meng Tian struggled, "But I also support your idea. Once Fu Xingzhou finds out about the child’s existence, he will certainly take him away."

"That’s why I can’t tell her, and you must keep this a secret."

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t say anything. But you need to come up with a solution, otherwise, if a child suddenly appears by your side, Fu Xingzhou will definitely become suspicious."

Meng Tian’s worries were valid; since she lived in Ao City, even if there were no relations, the city was only so large, and their circles were bound to intersect at some point.

He would eventually discover the existence of the child.

"I will find a way. How about you and Tang Jingyao? How’s that going?"

Meng Tian fiercely twisted off the shrimp head in her hand. "The same old, and it’s getting more annoying."

"Annoying?"

Ye Yan noticed that Meng Tian’s earlobes seemed to have suddenly turned red, just like the shrimp in her hand.

Considering the tone Tang Jingyao used when he mentioned Meng Tian the other day, it certainly wasn’t the reaction one would have towards someone they despised thoroughly.

"Jiang Ying got her sentence reduced again." Meng Tian put the shrimp into her mouth, expressionless, "It won’t be long before she’s released."

"She killed someone and is being released in less than two years?"

"She should thank Tang Jingyao for that. Over these two years, he has used countless means and pulled numerous strings. Whenever there’s a chance for sentence reduction, it surely goes to Jiang Ying," Meng Tian scoffed. "It’s better this way. She gets out sooner, and I get relieved sooner. I hope they live happily ever after."

"Did you peel that shrimp?"

Only then did Meng Tian realize she had only removed the shrimp head, not the shell.

The hard shell crunched in her mouth, and she felt nothing.

Ye Yan sighed and silently peeled a shrimp for her.

Meng Tian had just finished eating when Tang Jingyao’s call came.

"Where are you?"

"Mind your own business," Meng Tian responded disgruntledly.

Tang Jingyao laughed, "Who upset Forensic Doctor Meng? Don’t take it out on innocent people."

Meng Tian snorted, "If you have something to say, say it; if not, hang up."

"Is Lu Changchen your colleague?"

"Captain Lu? What happened to him?"

Hearing Meng Tian’s anxious tone, Tang Jingyao felt somewhat displeased. "He came to investigate my place; I gave him face only because he is your colleague."

"If you’re not involved in illegal activities, why fear an investigation?"

"The patrons here are all prominent figures in Ao City. Do you think everyone is as easy to talk to as I am?" Tang Jingyao scoffed: "Not everyone would give face to a mere Criminal Investigation squad captain. If something accidental happens, at best, we’d honor him as a martyr."

Meng Tian abruptly stood up, her emotions charged. "Tang Jingyao, you better not lay a hand on him."

"Forensic Doctor Meng, why be so agitated? It’s not me who’s after him. Just giving you a heads-up."

Meng Tian hung up the phone, quickly explained the situation to Ye Yan, and then hurried to Tang Jingyao’s club.

Lu Changchen always handled cases straightforwardly and never spared anyone’s dignity, often offending the powerful.

If it wasn’t for the chief protecting him, he would no longer be a police officer by now, with countless people wanting revenge on him.

Meng Tian found Lu Changchen, who was confronting a group of people in a private room.

Coincidentally, the leader of that group was Mr. Li, Li Jin, who she and Ye Yan had just discussed today.

"Forensic Doctor Meng, what brings you here?"

Lu Changchen was surprised, and upon seeing Tang Jingyao behind Meng Tian, he seemed to understand a bit.

It was Tang Jingyao who had called her.

"You come out first." Meng Tian said, "I have something to tell you."

Lu Changchen did not move immediately, and the standoff between Mr. Li’s people and his did not relax at all.

At this moment, Tang Jingyao spoke lazily, "Mr. Li, Captain Lu is a friend of my wife. Can today’s incident be overlooked for my sake, please?"

Li Jin hadn’t expected Tang Jingyao to intervene.

He could disregard others, but he must give face to Tang Jingyao.

"There has also been a misunderstanding between Captain Lu and me. Since Mr. Tang has spoken, I am willing to turn hostility into friendship. I just don’t know if Captain Lu is willing to shake hands and make peace?"

Lu Changchen looked at him angrily, about to speak, when Meng Tian quickly pulled him aside, "Captain Lu, you won’t find anything today. There will be other days."

Before Lu Changchen could react, she forcefully pulled him out of the private room.

"Captain Lu, calm down." Once the door to the private room blocked everything, Meng Tian spoke, "You suspect Li Jin is the killer in those two cases, but you have no evidence, no search warrant, or arrest warrant. Coming here rashly, he can easily sue you."

"If I don’t investigate him, how can I find evidence?" Lu Changchen clenched his fists, "I want to take him back to the station today, even if I can’t get a confession out of him, I need to intimidate him."

"Do you think you can still go back to the station today?" Tang Jingyao, who had been silent, spoke coolly, "Captain Lu, you’re also from the criminal investigation department. You’re being too naive."

"What do you mean?"

"The room you were just in had toxic smoke all the time. You only needed to inhale for two more minutes, and your colleagues from the Narcotics Division would come to arrest you."

Lu Changchen was shocked, "They dare..."

"Maybe others wouldn’t, but Li Jin would." Tang Jingyao leaned against the wall, smoking, "If the murderer you suspect is him, and he can kill and clean his tracks perfectly, killing a policeman here isn’t difficult. Regular smokers of this smoke develop immunity, but for someone like Captain Lu, it wouldn’t take long to lose consciousness, and then you’d be at their mercy."

Lu Changchen did not doubt Tang Jingyao’s words, as he indeed felt somewhat dizzy and nauseous.

Luckily, he hadn’t inhaled long enough; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Two female victims had been found consecutively, both dead in terrifying conditions, brutally abused by the murderer before their deaths.

Although there were two years between the deaths of the two victims, all clues still pointed to Mr. Li.

But Li Jin, relying on his status and the layers of relationships in the judicial system, remained unreachable by the station. No search orders were issued, causing the case to stall.

Thinking of such a brutal murderer still roaming free, Lu Changchen had disregarded everything, wanting to bypass the process and investigate him directly.

But Li Jin was even more ruthless; he had planned to deal with him right here.

"Thank you." Lu Changchen calmed down, sincerely thanking Tang Jingyao and Meng Tian, "I was impulsive."

"You are eager to solve the case." Meng Tian said, "In this case, we need a long-term plan. We can’t rush. This Mr. Li, who has done all sorts of evil, will pay the price sooner or later."

Meanwhile, inside the private room, one of the subordinates asked Li Jin, "That chick is pretty hot, how about we take her for a spin?"

Li Jin threw a cup at him, "Are you crazy? Did you see whose woman that is? You dare touch Tang Jingyao’s woman?"
