Chen Yue frowned deeply, "I don't know them at all. It's impossible for to have any grudges with them. Did soone send them to kill ?"
"Have you offended anyone recently?"
"No."
"Who do you think would want to kill you?"
"I can't think of anyone. I haven't had any conflict with anyone over the years."
Luke probed, "Do you know Song Jinbao?"
Chen Yue's face changed slightly as she blinked, "I know him. What's wrong?"
"These two assassins were hired by him."
"Song Jinbao wants to kill ?" Chen Yue's eyes widened as she shook her head, "Impossible, he wouldn't kill ."
"The assassins have already confessed."
"That can't be, I believe he definitely wouldn't kill ." Chen Yue spoke with conviction.
This surprised Luke, "Why?"
Chen Yue's eyes darted, and she said, "Isn't Song Jinbao a subordinate of Zhou Tiansheng? Could it be Zhou Tiansheng who wants to kill ?"
"Zhou Tiansheng is already dead."
"What! Zhou Tiansheng is dead!" Chen Yue showed a shocked expression, "When did he die?"
"He was dead before I went to Yue Lai Yue Hao restaurant to find you last ti."
"Then why didn't you tell ? Could it be... you suspect that I killed him?"
Luke indeed thought so but would not admit it, "NO, I've never suspected you, it's just that Zhou Tiansheng's face was damaged, and his body decayed badly, we couldn't identify his corpse."
"Then how do you know now that he is dead?"
"We did a DNA test on the corpse, and that confird his identity."
Chen Yue's hands twisted together, showing more tension, "DNA test? Zhou Tiansheng's parents are already dead, how did you perform the test?"
"Though Zhou Tiansheng's parents are dead, his daughter is still alive. We compared his and Chen Ning's DNA, and they are indeed father and daughter." Luke observed her expression and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"So, Chen Ning's father is dead." Chen Yue's voice carried a trace of sobbing.
"Yes."
"Oh God, why is this happening? Boohoo..." Chen Yue finally couldn't hold it in, covering her mouth and crying.
Luke and Louise exchanged glances, both guessing sothing.
Luke recalled Chen Yue's profile, she divorced Zhou Tiansheng eight years ago, and Chen Ning is already nine years old, aning Chen Yue had an affair during marriage and was pregnant with another man's child.
Louise handed Chen Yue a pack of tissues, "Ms. Chen, I know you're in a lot of pain right now, but your daughter is just outside. If she hears this, she'll be very sad."
Chen Yue gradually stopped crying, wiped her tears, "How did he die?"
Louise asked instead, "Who is Chen Ning's real father?
We need to know his true identity to find the killer."
"Song Jinbao." After saying this na, Chen Yue covered her mouth and murmured softly, "Bao, my Bao..."
Louise "..."
Luke "..."
At this mont, Luke couldn't help but feel a bit depressed, he had been investigating for a long ti but got the victim's identity wrong.
Regardless of whether Chen Yue's feelings for Song Jinbao were genuine or not, her affair during marriage was a fact.
Now, Luke didn't know whom to sympathize with anymore.
Now there's a new problem, who killed Song Jinbao?
Luke asked, "What's the story between you, Zhou Tiansheng, and Song Jinbao?"
Chen Yue shook her head, "I don't want to bring up the past anymore."
"Not speaking will affect the investigation, Song Jinbao's death might beco a cold case.
And the one who hired the hitn hasn't been caught, he could try to kill you again.
If you die, what will happen to your daughter?"
ntioning her daughter had an imdiate effect on Chen Yue, she began to speak, "About ten years ago, Zhou Tiansheng had just started running online gambling, and he was making money exponentially faster than before, practically like picking money off the ground.
He beca careless, spending most of his ti out carousing under the guise of entertaining clients.
Ironically, I could sll different perfus on him every day.
That period was very sad and lonely for .
You know?
By that ti, we no longer lacked money, it had beco just numbers.
Honestly, I wasn't happy about him having so much money, as it turned him into a different, very unfamiliar person.
That ti was very painful for …"
Chen Yue wiped her tears, her face showing a bit of warmth, "It was then that Jinbao ca into my life.
He was a subordinate of Zhou Tiansheng, responsible for protecting during that period.
He always silently stood behind , and sotis when our eyes t, he would quickly look away.
I knew he often secretly observed , and I knew he liked .
We spent several months like that, nothing happened, we didn't cross any lines.
We both knew it was impossible for us to be together."
Chen Yue sank into her mories, with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes, she spoke hoarsely, "I thought this was how my life would be.
Until one day, a gang ca to seek revenge against Zhou Tiansheng, and a gang war ensued.
So said Zhou Tiansheng was dead, so said he was injured, others said he fled, and so claid he was arrested by the police.
I was terrified at the ti and didn't know what to do.
Jinbao stepped forward, taking to another city.
We took a car by day and shared a room at night… and that's when we beca involved.
Later, Zhou Tiansheng eliminated the rival gang and took back.
But Jinbao and I had developed feelings for each other and continued that relationship.
Eventually, I had Ningning.
Jinbao and I both loved her very much."
"Does Chen Ning know that Song Jinbao is her father?"
"No."
"Does she know Song Jinbao?"
"Yes. They often t."
Louise's face reddened; when she asked Chen Ning, the child claid not to know Song Jinbao at all. She had been deceived by a nine-year-old kid.
"Does Zhou Tiansheng know about your relationship with Song Jinbao?"
Chen Yue laughed, "How could he possibly know?
He didn't care about at all; I was insignificant to him.
I suspect he was eager to divorce .
If he found out, both Jinbao and I would've been tossed into the kong River."
Luke pressed on, "How did you end up in New York?"
Chen Yue wiped her nose, "Zhou Tiansheng's business grew larger, and he acquired so assets here in New York. Jinbao was often sent to Arica to manage his affairs.
After Ningning was born, I was on constant alert, fearing he might notice sothing off.
So, I used an excuse to divorce him.
Then, I proposed moving to Arica, which was quite normal back then, so he didn't suspect anything."
"If Zhou Tiansheng didn't discover your relationship with Song Jinbao, why did he want to kill Song Jinbao?"
"Zhou Tiansheng is cunning and ruthless, removing anyone who could affect or pose a potential threat to him.
Song Jinbao had always worked for him; he knew more about his Arican assets than anyone.
I had warned Jinbao long ago.
But he was worried about my and our daughter's safety, and refused to leave…"
Chen Yue's eyes turned red, and with clenched teeth, she said, "It must have been Zhou Tiansheng who killed Jinbao.
He's the murderer.
You must capture him!"
