Chapter 102: 79. If you don’t know how to cherish, you deserve to be taken by me_4
Shen Wan held "80,000" in one hand and rested her chin on the other, looking innocently at Guo Zhengmei.
"Sister Guo, just say whatever you know."
Guo Zhengmei grew more impatient and kept her eyes on the card, hurriedly saying: "A Yuan admired Ming Yi, so he didn’t follow in the footsteps of Jingsheng and me, didn’t pursue finance, but became a lawyer instead. As a lawyer, he primarily handles cases for Chinese people, and China and M Country have different legal systems, so there are always some issues when bridging the laws between the two countries. So A Yuan went back to China to study Chinese law again."
Shen Wan nodded.
"He then became the apprentice of a very famous detective in China... Later, for some reason, that detective was targeted by enemies and ended up dead. A Yuan said that detective saved his life, so before dying, the detective entrusted his wife and daughter to A Yuan."
"Our A Yuan is compassionate and dutiful, so he brought them to the United States. But arriving in the United States, they didn’t even have legal status, let alone healthcare and welfare. The only solution was marriage. Our A Yuan insisted on marrying Shi Nian."
Shen Wan filtered out the part where Guo Zhengmei intentionally praised her own son, focusing only on Shi Nian’s background, repeating the details in her mind.
"So, she came to M Country to escape the avengers who killed her father?"
Guo Zhengmei paused at this remark: "I suppose that’s also true. But in my opinion, her father leveraged his identity as A Yuan’s mentor to force his wife and daughter onto A Yuan, allowing them to go abroad. Those people, desperate to go abroad, would go to any lengths. Fake marriages are something we’ve seen a lot of."
Another two ladies couldn’t help but interject: "So, is it possible Shi Nian’s marriage to your son is fake?"
"It would be great if it were!" Guo Zhengmei sighed: "A Yuan is serious about her, even our Jingsheng values this daughter-in-law and cares for her crazy mother. Both our old and young family members are just too kind-hearted."
.
After finishing with Birkin, Shen Wan finally satisfied Guo Zhengmei’s curiosity.
After sending off the three ladies, Shen Wan stood by the window, gazing at the red lanterns in the courtyard, lost in thought for a moment.
According to Guo Zhengmei, Shi Nian is first a "woman skilled at handling men."
Secondly, "a girl with a complicated background, highly likely evading pursuit."
Either way, it implies complexity and trouble.
Shen Wan frowned, took out her phone, and dialed Tang Mingxiang, the second brother in the Tang Family.
In this generation of the Tang Family, the male children have names beginning with "Ming," and their names are also bordered by "Feather."
Second brother Tang Mingxiang is known as the "Chinese Detective," a head of the police department, thus having extensive public and private interactions with China’s police community. She hoped to gain more background information about Shi Nian from her second brother.
However, after hearing Shen Wan’s question, Tang Mingxiang apologetically laughed, "My dear sister-in-law, what you said is too vague. Incidents of police officers targeted by enemies and killed aren’t rare in police forces worldwide."
Shen Wan thought carefully but couldn’t provide more details, so she said, "Well, the policeman’s last name is quite distinctive. His last name is Shi, as in the word ’time.’"
On the phone, Tang Mingxiang seemed stunned, remaining silent for a long time. Only strained breathing was heard through the receiver.
Eventually, Tang Mingxiang chuckled, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I don’t know such a person."
Putting down the phone, Shen Wan frowned.
Second brother is lying.
Alternatively, second brother is deliberately withholding information.
Shen Wan understood, the police force has its discipline, even with close relatives, some things can’t be disclosed. However, this made her even more curious, wanting to uncover the secrets behind that girl.
What can she do now!
.
On the other end, Tang Mingxiang put down the phone, also deep in thought.
Tang Yan Yi noticed the call was from Shen Wan and quietly stayed nearby. Seeing her father’s expression, she couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, did Third Aunt say something inappropriate?"
"Uh, no." Tang Mingxiang forced a smile.
Tang Yan Yi walked over and playfully said, "Dad, some things you can’t say to Third Aunt, but surely you can share them with your daughter, right? After all, your daughter is also a police officer, so it’s not a breach of discipline."
Tang Mingxiang sighed softly, stroking his daughter’s hair, "Being a police officer sometimes means making great sacrifices."
