Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 43 Relatives
After finally finding a clue, I discovered it was useless and of little significance.

Chen Jin couldn't help but feel anxious and distressed, his voice trembling with urgency: "What should we do? Has the trail gone cold again?"

Wei Qingsong remained calm and said indifferently, "Not necessarily."

Chen Jin's expression brightened, and he was about to ask a question when he caught a glimpse of Lu Jingming's silent face. Thinking of the unexpected situation that morning, Chen Jin felt lingering fear and dared not speak.

Lu Jingming's voice was as deep as twilight: "You suspect that Wen Yu's death is related to the Wen family of Jihai Group?"

After he finished speaking, Chen Jin and Xiao Song were both slightly surprised.

Xiao Song was inside and witnessed the whole process of Wei Qingsong questioning Xu Yuan. She quickly calmed down and looked at her with curiosity.

Chen Jin was outside making phone calls to verify Xu Yuan's alibi at the time, so he was very puzzled by the sudden appearance of the Wen family of Jihai Group.

"According to what we know, Wen Yu is the second young master of the Wen family of Jihai Group. His father is Wen Chenghua, a director of the group. He also has an older brother named Wen Ye. In addition, Wen Chenghua has an adopted son, whose name seems to be... Wen Cheng."

Chen Jin scratched his receding hairline and asked in confusion, "Wen Yu's death couldn't have been caused by his relatives, could it? They were his blood relatives."

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so even if wealthy families have weak family ties, they wouldn't go so far as to kill each other, would they?

Wei Qingsong pursed her lips, subconsciously thinking of the Yan family, a glint of light flashing in her brown eyes.

She curled her lips into a slight smile, but the curve was not pronounced and carried a hint of self-deprecation.

"Being connected by blood doesn't necessarily mean being warm and harmonious."

She originally wanted to criticize something more and thoroughly overturn Chen Jin's values, but then she saw Lu Jingming's tense jaw and fell silent.

Almost forgot, ever since Lu Jingming learned the truth about his mother's death, he has become increasingly estranged from his father.

When they first met, Lu Jingming was mature beyond his years, steady and reserved, but not so cold as to be almost heartless.

Like other children, when he talks about his father, his face reveals a hint of pride and smugness.

The unexpected turn of events occurred two years after they met.

Lu Jingming accidentally saw his mother's diary and learned the reason why his mother was so depressed: it was because of the sins committed by his father. From then on, the boy's heart turned completely cold.

Every family has its own troubles, and those who live in happiness may never understand.

At that time, Wei Qingsong went to great lengths to treat him well, trying to pull him out of the abyss.

Unexpectedly, one day she would face the same predicament, or even worse.

After all, no matter what happened in the past, at least Lu Changbai felt guilty and wanted to make amends to Lu Jingming.

The cold-blooded and ruthless monsters in the Yan family had driven her to such a state, yet they were completely unaware of what they had done wrong.

After leaving Satan Prison, Wei Qingsong received a phone call from Yan Jiqian, who was almost coldly rational.

"Now that you are safe and sound, let bygones be bygones. I will also let bygones be bygones for the underhanded actions of your adoptive parents. As long as you do not harm my son again, the Yan family can still accept you."

After listening to that phone call, she felt extremely nauseous and vomited violently into the toilet.

Bloodline? What a laughable bloodline.

In Yan Jiqian's eyes, her truthful recounting of the crimes Yan Zhi had committed against her was "harming his son."

She suffered immense torment, nearly losing both her body and soul, yet his casual remark of "turning the page" made it seem as if nothing had ever happened.

They even put on a magnanimous act, tolerating her "immaturity," acting superior as if it were charity.

It's ridiculous.

In some ways, she and Lu Jingming are quite similar.

Before she turned twenty, she treated Lu Jingming with unconditional kindness, trying to warm his heart. After turning twenty, all she wanted was for Lu Jingming to cherish each other and find comfort in one another.

Chen Jin sighed in bewilderment and said with considerable distress, "But that is, after all, the Jihai Group. If we go looking for trouble with them without any evidence, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

Wei Qingsong lowered his eyes in deep thought, and calmly said, "Don't worry, we only visited the Wen family to inquire about Wen Yu's recent situation. We are not trying to cause trouble. I believe the Wen family will cooperate fully."

Before that, they needed Director Wang to coordinate, and they couldn't just go to his door rashly.

Back at the municipal police station, as soon as he stepped into the lobby of the office building, a police officer came up to him, bowing respectfully and saying, "Captain Lu, Wen Yu's family has arrived."

"Hmm." Lu Jingming responded indifferently, a dangerous glint lurking in his deep black eyes.

Wei Qingsong couldn't help but smile slightly, her eyes sparkling: "You've come at the perfect time."

Before they could even make a move, the Wen family came to them on their own.

Reception room.

The two men, one standing and one sitting, were both dressed in charcoal gray suits with their ties tied neatly and meticulously.

The one standing had his hands behind his back and a serious expression, while the one sitting had his legs crossed and a nonchalant smile on his lips.

When Wei Qingsong pushed the door open, he was jokingly flirting with the middle-aged female cleaner who was sweeping the floor.

Wei Qingsong: "..." She didn't understand.

Hearing the door open, Wen Ye impatiently looked up, and when he inadvertently glanced at Wei Qingsong's face, he froze on the spot.

Without a doubt, Wei Qingsong's beauty is breathtaking, rivaling even the most popular movie stars.

Wen Ye frequented brothels and had seen many women, some of whom were even more beautiful than Wei Qingsong. But while those women were beautiful, they lacked soul. Compared to Wei Qingsong, they all became ordinary and vulgar.

He had never seen a woman with such a pure and elegant temperament, as beautiful as the bright moon. She was a sight to behold simply by standing there.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow.

At first, his father asked him to come to the police station to inquire about the progress, but he was reluctant. If he had known earlier that the Tangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau had such a beauty, he would have definitely come to line up early in the morning.

After giving Chen Jin and Xiao Song a few instructions outside the door, Lu Jingming followed Wei Qingsong inside.

As soon as he entered, he noticed Wen Ye's undisguised admiration.

As a man himself, he understood what this meant.

Lu Jingming's eyes narrowed, and a chilling, murderous aura surged forth like a storm.

His eyes turned cold. He took two steps forward, subtly shielding Wei Qingsong behind him and blocking his gaze. He coldly asked, "Who are you two to the deceased?"

Wei Qingsong was originally observing the man standing with his hands behind his back by the French windows.

In country Y, she encountered many desperate criminals whose murderous aura was impossible to conceal.

Strangely, she could sense that kind of aura emanating from this man.

Wen Ye snapped out of his daze, still wearing his carefree smile, and lazily stood up, extending one hand.

"Good morning, officer. I am Wen Yu's older brother, Wen Ye."

Wen Ye's appearance is very memorable; beside his peach blossom eyes that shimmer with a faint light, there is a red mole, which is extremely alluring.

If you ignore his expensive attire and say he works in some special industry, some people might believe it.

The man by the window glanced in their direction and uttered two words softly.

"Wencheng".

Wei Qingsong raised an eyebrow slightly. So, he was the adopted son of Wen Chenghua, the head of the Wen family.

It was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
