Chapter 2691: There’s No Evidence

Professor Ai looked tired. No matter how one looked at this, this was a huge scandal.

His own student had kidnapped his wife. This incident had hugely damaged his reputation in the university.

He’d also have to face punishment for this.

Ning Shu looked at Professor Ai and said, “Dad, remember when I drove our family car and got into an accident? It was because the brakes didn’t work. The mechanic told me that the brake was worn out.”

“But we rarely ever use that car. How could the brake possibly be worn out?

“Other than you, the only other person who drove the car is Cheng Fei,” Ning Shu said.

Professor Ai narrowed his eyes. “So, you think Cheng Fei did something to it?”

Ning Shu shook her head. “It’s useless to accuse him of anything since there’s no evidence for it. I just think that it’s suspicious how so many things suddenly happened to our family right after I asked for a divorce.”

Ning Shu spread her hands. “I think my suspicion is reasonable.”

“Then let’s say… Suppose that Cheng Fei really did this. You think it’s because he doesn’t want to get divorced?” Professor Ai looked puzzled. “But, your mother is the one who likes Cheng Fei the most. She is the one most vehemently opposed to your divorce. Why her?”

What if Cheng Fei just wanted to kill Ai Yun and her entire family?

In that case, feelings and affection would be irrelevant.

“Don’t jump to conclusions without any evidence. Let’s just leave this matter to the police.”

Professor Ai didn’t expect that Cheng Fei could possibly be involved in this.

This issue initially started with a student of his, but it eventually circled back to involving a member of his own family.

Ning Shu nodded. She put a hand on her bag.

She shouldn’t take out the evidence she’d collected in the bag for the time being.

Ning Shu felt that Cheng Fei wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.

Thus, she shouldn’t reveal her hand too early in the game. At the very least, she should keep some of her cards hidden beneath her sleeves.

Ning Shu got into the car and thought of what she knew about Cheng Fei.

The original host’s memory revealed that Cheng Fei was an orphan who later got adopted by a Chinese couple.

The couple provided financially for Cheng Fei but didn’t live with him.

They lived abroad for most of the year, while Cheng Fei grew up in China.

Ai Yun had seen Cheng Fei’s adopted parents on their wedding day but had gotten no news about them ever since.

Cheng Fei said that his adoptive parents liked traveling around the world and rarely ever contacted him.

It was like he had no parents at all.

Once again, Ning Shu ran straight into discovering Cheng Fei’s plus point. He had a car and a house, and practically, he came with no in-laws.

Cheng Fei’s adoptive parents should be looked into. However, Ning Shu didn’t know where they currently were.

They adopted a child, but didn’t live with the child and instead went abroad while leaving the child in China. How did they expect the child to fend for himself?

It didn’t make sense.

Cheng Fei told her that he had never studied abroad, but perhaps he’d been lying to her.

She didn’t think much of it before. Now that she did, though, she found gaps in Cheng Fei’s story.

The original host, Ai Yun, had never even contacted her in-laws—if these in-laws of hers even existed at all.

Cheng Fei might never even have been adopted at all, and made up his background of being taken in by a Chinese couple.

The orphanage in which he stayed as a child should have information about Cheng Fei’s past.

But where was Cheng Fei’s former orphanage?

Ning Shu really didn’t know anything about Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei was only growing into a bigger mystery.

If Cheng Fei really was an orphan, it mustn’t have been easy for him to achieve the things he now had.

Ning Shu scratched her head. How could she find his orphanage? After all these years, would the orphanage even still exist?

Ning Shu had by now realized that the simpler the plot of the world, the less useful information she had in her arsenal.

The original host thought that her husband killed her, but so far, Ning Shu had made no progress in this matter.

“Do you want to go to the hospital to visit Cheng Fei?” Professor Ai asked. “This case hasn’t been closed yet. Cheng Fei might not be the culprit, after all.”
