Chapter 2696: Could It Be That She Really Had Paranoia?
But why would Li Chen travel so far just to get to this coffee shop?
Cheng Fei was suspicious, but Cheng Fei’s innocence in this matter had been proved…
Ning Shu suspected that the IP address was left and exposed on purpose.
Cheng Fei might’ve even left it behind on purpose so that when they found out that he wasn’t the culprit, he’d be relieved of all accusations.
Ning Shu: …
Could it be that she really had paranoia?
Jesus, why were there always rebellious subjects plotting against this emperor?
Ning Shu stood at the door of the coffee shop. The place had a very calm and quiet ambience.
Ning Shu pushed the door open. She entered and ordered a cup of coffee, then called the police station.
“Did you question Li Chen on why he went to the coffee shop?
“That cafe is 7 stops away from the school. That’s a relatively far distance. Did he really come here just to get free WiFi and have a cup of coffee?”
“Is it possible that Li Chen was looking for someone? Did the coffee shop’s CCTVs record Li Chen meeting with anyone else?”
“No, it only caught Li Chen alone, but we will investigate this clearly.”
Ning Shu immediately responded, “I know this case is troublesome to you, and I apologize for that. However, there’s still something that’s bothering me, and since this is related to my parents’ safety, I can’t be careless with it.”
Ning Shu hung up the phone. She looked around the coffee shop and spotted the CCTV camera.
If it wasn’t because he wanted to meet someone, why would he travel such a long distance alone? Just to get free WiFi? Surely not.
Why would he go so far when there were nearer places that also offered free WiFi?
Anyways, Ning Shu, who’d realized this, now began to suspect Cheng Fei again.
Ning Shu drank her coffee and went home. When she opened the door, she saw Cheng Fei sitting on the sofa in the living room, smiling and chatting with Mother Ai.
Mother Ai saw Ning Shu and greeted her with a wave. “Ai Yun, you’re back.”
Cheng Fei turned his head. When he saw Ning Shu, a smile immediately filled his face.
Ning Shu supported herself on the wall and changed from her shoes to slippers at the entrance of the house. She walked into the living room and asked Cheng Fei, “Are you feeling better now?”
Ning Shu wouldn’t yell in front of Cheng Fei. She had no concrete evidence yet. It was useless to say anything. Speaking nonsense would only make things worse.
So Ning Shu treated Cheng Fei indifferently—she didn’t appear angry or cold. Anyone who saw her would think that the only wrongdoing she pinned on Cheng Fei was the cameras he installed in their home.
Cheng Fei nodded. “I’m feeling much better. You’ve lost a lot of weight since I last saw you.”
Ning Shu looked at Cheng Fei. “You too.”
Mother Ai stood up, then said, “You two should talk. I’ll cut some fruit. Cheng Fei, will you have dinner here tonight?”
Cheng Fei nodded. “Thank you, Mom.”
There was a bright, unrestrained smile on Mother Ai’s face. She went to cut the fruit, as she said.
Sitting opposite Cheng Fei, Ning Shu said, “The case of Mom’s kidnapping is about to be closed. The person who instigated Li Qiang is a fellow student named Li Chen. He’s in the same year and is also one of Dad’s students.”
Cheng Fei was rendered stunned for a moment. He then said, “Dad must be feeling down, then.”
Ning Shu observed Cheng Fei’s expression. Cheng Fei’s expression didn’t seem to be faked.
He seemed elegant and refined without being artificial.
Ning Shu wanted to hammer the ground. It felt like there were currently two little people in her mind fighting each other: one was saying that Cheng Fei’s innocent, and that the original host had wrongly accused him.
The other said that it was definitely Cheng Fei! Don’t ask why! It was intuition! Terrible, fearsome intuition!
The two little figures were giving Ning Shu a headache. Right now, she just wanted to grab Cheng Fei by the collar and fling him to the ground.
