Su He?

Chen Xiao didn’t know this person.

But no matter who this person is, how tall, how much they weigh, or what they look like.

As long as she once had the surname Lin, I must see her!

However, before meeting her, Chen Xiao still restrained his emotions and asked:

"The Su He you mentioned, she’s related to Shen Shuming, right?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, she and Shen Shuming have been childhood friends. I know all about their story."

"Then tell me in detail."

The young man glanced at Chen Xiao, then at Pan Huiping, and said: "If I provide you with the information you want, does that count as a contribution?"

Upon hearing these words, Chen Xiao smiled and squinted, softly asking Pan Huiping: "How did this guy get in here?"

"Drunk driving caused two deaths and six injuries, fled after committing the crime, and tried to find someone to take the blame. It wasn’t until I exposed him that he begged for forgiveness with tears and snot."

As Pan Huiping spoke, Chen Xiao understood and said to the young man:

"I’m also a cop, if you provide valuable clues for the case I’m investigating, I will definitely help you earn a contribution. I promise you that!"

The young man was overjoyed: "Su He was originally named Lin He. She is the Lin Family’s daughter. But later, her father passed away due to illness, and the family’s power was seized by her uncle."

"After her uncle took control of the family’s business, he used means to remove Su He’s mother from the management team. In the end, her mother was so furious that she cut off all ties with the Lin Family. From then on, Lin He took her mother’s surname."

"Su He and Shen Shuming have always been childhood friends, and their relationship is good. If nothing unexpected had happened, Shen Shuming and Su He would definitely have tied the knot happily."

"At that time, the Shen Family and Lin Family would have joined forces, but no one expected Su He’s father to pass away due to illness at that moment. Without her father’s protection, relying only on the Su Family, it has become very difficult for Su He to become the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family."

"However, as far as I know, Shen Shuming and Su He still have a good relationship. Shen Shuming has even taken several projects from his father for the Su Family to work on. Although those projects may not elevate the Su Family’s status, Shen Shuming and Su He’s relationship probably hasn’t changed."

Saying this, the young man spoke with joy:

"Officer, all of these are what I know, should be useful to you! I don’t know if providing this information counts as a major contribution."

Chen Xiao gave a thumbs up: "Very useful to us! However, I want to know when Su He’s father passed away, do you remember?"

"It’s been several years, but I’m a bit unclear on the specific number. But if you ask my dad, he definitely knows!" The young man said hurriedly, and then seemed to realize something, speaking with joy:

"Oh, Officer, I still have more information to provide!"

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."

"I can’t guarantee the truth of my words because I also heard this from others. I’ve heard that Su He might not be her father’s biological daughter! She’s the child of her mother’s old lover!"

Chen Xiao’s gaze sharpened: "You even know about this?"

The young man gritted his teeth, seeming hesitant, but finally made up his mind and said:

"Initially, I was quite interested in Su He as well, but I couldn’t compete with Shen Shuming, so I had to step back."

"Quite wise of you, but in the story you heard, did anyone mention her father being cursed or the Lin Family running into trouble often?"

The young man shook his head: "Haven’t heard anything like that."

Chen Xiao acknowledged with a sound, then stood up to leave.

But just as he turned around, the young man shouted anxiously: "Officer, can you really help me make a contribution? If you can, I hope you do it quickly!"

Chen Xiao turned back, looking at him indifferently: "Sorry, I’m here in Hai City investigating a case from out of town, but I’m not a cop."

The young man widened his eyes in shock.

But Chen Xiao and the other two didn’t care about him and left directly.

For someone who caused two deaths and six injuries by drunk driving, fled the scene, and tried to find someone to take the blame, Chen Xiao couldn’t help him.

Deceiving him, Chen Xiao didn’t feel any guilt.

After stepping out of the detention center, Pan Huiping didn’t rush to drive.

"Do we need to meet Su He?" Pan Huiping asked.

Chen Xiao nodded: "We need to, but before meeting her we must clarify the current situation."

Saying this, Chen Xiao thought briefly and continued:

"From the information we just gathered, Shen Shuming’s appearance seems not just coincidental."

"But whatever his purpose for this coincidence, it’s worth a discussion."

"His appearance boils down to two possibilities, either it’s coincidences, or it’s for the girl called Su He." Lin Xi agreed.

Chen Xiao: "Suppose it’s for Su He, then what does he seek? Though he is a rich kid, the Shen Family estate is managed by him, which implies Shen Shuming is not a brainless person."

"Since he’s smart, he’ll predict risks. If we exclude the possibility of coincidence, only two situations remain."

"One: he appeared to hide something. From the information we just received, we’re investigating people with the surname Lin. However, given Su He’s existence, if Shen Shuming and Su He still have a deep relationship, his concealment might imply two possibilities."

"Both possibilities are based on the same premise: that behind the Jingguang Tomb case, there’s indeed a hint of the Lin Family’s shadow, and this matter is related to Su He and her parents. Thus, Shen Shuming might be trying to mislead us by seizing this opportunity."

"Then again, his appearance might lead us to associate with the Lin Family. He himself has no good impression of the Lin Family, and he highly might be a very competent heir."

"Since he is the family’s heir, each of his moves might involve interest. For example, if there is a competitive relationship between the current Shen and Lin Family."

"He wants us to investigate the Lin Family, thus granting the Shen Family a chance to nibble at their interests. Or perhaps, he’s doing it all just to vent for Su He and her mother!"

Listening to Chen Xiao’s analysis, Lin Xi thought for a bit and said:

"Which means, no matter what, Shen Shuming might know past events of the Lin Family!"

"Yes, otherwise how would he know our trace? Considering the current situation, many are watching us. Even the true mastermind is keeping an eye on us!"

Hearing this, Pan Huiping couldn’t help but look alert: "Really?"

"It’s entirely possible! Otherwise, how would you explain our encounter with Shen Shuming at the airport! The news of the Jingguang Tomb case first spread from Hai City itself!"

Saying this, Chen Xiao looked out at the high-rises of Hai City, saying:

"To us, we’re only investigating a murder case triggered by tomb theft. But the essence of this case might have become a commercial war!"
