Chapter 117 The Key to an Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 117 The Key to an Unexpected Discovery
"Good afternoon, Teacher Liu."
In order to avoid making this "chance encounter" too abrupt, Jiang Baige and Lin Xingran did not chase after him.
Instead, he took a shortcut, ran to the small path in front of Liu Shutong, and then walked out slowly from the fork in the road, just in time to meet Liu Shutong.
Liu Shutong heard someone calling her and looked up, but her eyes were a little confused.
"Teacher Liu, we are studying for a double degree, maybe you don't remember clearly... Last week after class, I asked you..."
When Lin Xingran said this, Liu Shutong had already remembered.
"Ah, it's Lin, right? I'm so sorry, I've been so busy lately that my memory has deteriorated."
While the two men were talking, Jiang Baige had already squatted down.
Liu Shutong's daughter seemed to be interested in the doll on Jiang Baige's backpack and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
Jiang Baige immediately took the doll off and handed it over: "Little sister, can I give this toy to you?"
The little girl did not take the toy immediately, but looked up at her mother.
Liu Shutong shook her head gently: "Xiaoyu, be good, that doll is something that your sister likes, we can't take someone else's love, right?"
Xiaoyu nodded obediently, and said to Jiang Baige: "Thank you, sister, I don't want it."
Jiang Baige didn't insist anymore, and hung the doll back on the bag. She turned to ask Liu Shutong: "I didn't expect your children to be this big... They look about the same age, are they... twins?"
“You actually figured it out…”
"But today is Friday...are they...not in school yet?"
Liu Shutong sighed, "School has started. But this afternoon, the teacher called me and said Xiaoyu was not feeling well, so I took them back... Who knew that I just remembered that I left my things in the office when I was about to enter the community. Fortunately, I live near the school, so I brought them here together."
She said a lot in one breath and seemed to be a talkative and easy-going person.
The three of them chatted for a while, and because Liu Shutong was in a hurry to take the food back to cook for the children, they said goodbye to each other.
Before leaving, Liu Shutong warmly told them that if they were free in a few days, they could go to her office to chat.
Looking at the backs of the one adult and two children walking away, Jiang Baige couldn't help but sigh: "Is her ex-husband really a human being? He could kill such cute children..."
And Liu Shutong still knew nothing.
She is still full of hope. Although she has to attend classes on weekends, which is a bit hard and she doesn't have much time to spend with her children, as long as she works hard, she still has a chance to regain custody of her children.
However, little did they know that the man was fighting for custody not because he still had feelings for the child as a father, but to save on child support.
As long as he regains custody, the child...
Jiang Baige suddenly stopped and froze in place. Lin Xingran took a few steps and found Jiang Baige behind him.
"What did you think of?"
"Do you still remember what Yao Jing said... His cousin would not accept the man with the child, and the man fought for custody just to avoid child support..."
Lin Xingran thought about it for a moment and understood.
"You mean, they took action at a time..."
"It can't be wrong!"
Jiang Baige quickly took out her phone and called Yao Jing: "I know when they will take action. Now, I need you to help me..."
At that time, the news reports only said that the case occurred during the winter vacation, but did not mention the progress of Liu Shutong and Chen Bo's divorce lawsuit.
They have to figure this out first.
If the custody had been awarded to Chen Bo at that time, it would mean that the child was no longer of any use to him and killing became part of his plan.
But if the two were still fighting a custody lawsuit at that time...
Jiang Baige simply told Yao Jing about his and Lin Xingran's analysis. Yao Jing quickly agreed and said he would go back and check it out.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xingran asked somewhat worriedly: "Yao Jing is just that man's cousin, and they don't even live together. Do you think... can he find out?"
"can."
Because Yao Jing is the one who knows the future and is here to carry out a mission, so in order to complete the mission, he will definitely try his best to do it.
As Jiang Baige expected, he quickly went to do the job.
But when he sat next to Jiang Baige, the first thing he asked was: "Where's your computer? Aren't you going to write a novel today?"
"You're quite lenient."
"Isn't this caring about you..."
Seeing that Jiang Baige had no interest in flirting with him, Yao Jing changed the subject in time, put on a serious expression, and moved closer.
"I found out what you asked me to look up yesterday."
Contrary to what they initially guessed, although Chen Bo cheated on her, Liu Shutong did not break up with him.
At that time, the two had agreed that Liu Shutong would not want any of Chen Bo's things before marriage, that the property after marriage would be divided equally between them, and that the twins would be raised by Liu Shutong.
But when Liu Shutong listed the expenses of raising a child and asked Chen Bo to pay a certain amount of child support, his expression suddenly changed.
Liu Shutong had no choice but to file for divorce with him to divide the property and fight for the child.
"But divorce cases are not so easy to win... At the current pace, it will take at least a year to be concluded."
So, he may have killed the child before he got custody of the child.
Then something else must have happened in the meantime!
"Oh, by the way, I also found out one thing..." Yao Jing continued, "My sister said that no matter whether Chen Bo divorces or not, his children will always be his children. If he dies, the children will have the right to inherit the estate. If that's the case, what about her own children?"
"Then wouldn't it be fine if we just made a will in advance?"
Although Jiang Baige did not expect that Zhang Ye's wishful thinking had already come true after Chen Bo's death.
"I heard that Chen Bo felt it was unlucky to make a will at such a young age..."
My goodness, these two scheming people have worked together to plot.
He doesn't want to pay child support when he's alive, and he doesn't want to share the inheritance when he's dead... It seems that for Chen Bo, the twins have long become an unnecessary burden.
I'm afraid there is no place for children in his heart.
Worse than beasts.
"Don't be surprised. Killing one's own children was common in medieval Europe."
Jiang Baige rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you say so, there were witch hunts in the Middle Ages... People like me, who are well-read, smart, and have many ideas, and who help girls everywhere, shouldn't they be burned to death a hundred times?"
Yao Jing glanced at his watch and it was almost time for class.
"Okay, there's no witch hunt going on right now, but the killing of my son is about to happen, so let's think about it carefully first..."
"Killing the child? What are you talking about?"
The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice that Liu Shutong had just walked in from the back door and happened to hear their conversation.
Jiang Baige turned her head stiffly, forced a smile, and was about to make up a lie, but she saw two cute little girls following behind Liu Shutong...
