Dating After Divorce - Chapter 109
At Luo Zhen’s request, Zheng Bang investigated Li Ze’s economic situation in the past five years.
As he himself said, the year he went abroad, the account balance was full of two million, and it was indeed that he slowly lost all this money in the past two years.
In order to make ends meet, and to get over his gambling addiction, he found a job in a casino after he spent his money.
Once done, done now.
Confirming that Li Ze didn’t lie, Luo Zhen took him back to the country.
However, when he arrived in Fenghe County, he was not allowed to meet Jian Xue.
“How is it, have you found Li Ze?”
“He’s a murderer, isn’t he very proud now?”
The blackmail letter that year, the other four thought it was sent by Li Ze.
To this day, mentioning him again, Jian Xue only has resentment in her heart.
Luo Zhen nodded, not hiding the fact that he found Lize.
“Found him.”
“You can rest assured that I will definitely help you to avenge and make him pay for what he did back then.”
When Jian Xue heard this, she couldn’t help but smile.
But what she didn’t expect was that when Luo Zhen said “what he did back then”, he never meant the extortion letter, but meant—
This group of people took Ning Rou as an experiment and imprisoned her for 24 years.

Pei Li was the president of the company, but he couldn’t hold back that the entire financial department was all from Xu Zhong.
Although he was determined to find out the truth, things were far more troublesome than he imagined.
Twenty days passed, and he only got a small part of the accounting records.
And Pei Yi also returned to Pei’s house at this time.
Zhou Ruguang got out of the car, and before entering the living room, he saw a person sitting on the sofa.
Pei Li just came out at this time and greeted with a smile.
“Dad, my little sister is back. I’ll ask my aunt to cook more dishes tonight.”
Zhou Ruguang’s expression was a little unnatural when he heard this sentence, and only after a few seconds did he remember and nod his head.
“Um.”
The father and son were talking and entered the house one after the other.
Seeing Zhou Ruguang appear, Pei Yi immediately got up from the sofa and smiled softly.
“dad.”
“Why don’t you tell me in advance if you want to go home? Where’s your mother?”
It was still the familiar gentle voice in memory, but the mood of the two brothers and sisters at this time was completely different from when they were children.
When Pei Li heard this, he glanced at Pei Yi and took the initiative to explain.
“Dad, I called my eldest brother this afternoon. The eldest brother said that he was on vacation recently and had time to spend with his mother, so the younger sister went back to China first.”
Pei Yi responded.
“Big brother heard that I was sick, let me go back to China to treat my illness at ease, and he will take care of my mother.”
Pei Yi has always loved his younger siblings, and doing so is in line with his character.
Zhou Ruguang didn’t think much about it, and looked quite relaxed.
“Alright.”
“Tomorrow, Dad is free, just in time to accompany you to see a psychiatrist.”
Pei Yi was stunned when she heard the sound, then shook her head and politely declined the proposal.
“No need, Dad, I have made an appointment with Xu Xian, she will accompany me.”
In Zhou Ruguang’s eyes, Xu Xian is now Pei Yi’s girlfriend.
It’s not surprising that the two are close.
He didn’t force him to see the doctor, he just warned him.
“When you come back, show me the medical order.”
Pei Yi nodded obediently, with an obedient expression.
“Got it, Dad.”
After dinner, Zhou Ruguang entered the study as an example.
As for Pei Li and Pei Yi, they went for a walk in the garden together.
The two walked and walked, and they came to the most hidden corner of the garden.
Pei Li looked around, making sure that no one was passing by before he spoke in a low voice.
“Help me watch, don’t let people come over.”
Before Pei Yi could figure out what her brother wanted to do, she saw the young man in front of him bent down, leaned against the fence of the outer wall, and got into a pile of weeds by feeling the darkness.
It seems to be looking for something.
A few minutes seem like years.
When Pei Li came out, his forehead was covered in hot sweat, and his body was covered in dirty grass and plaster. What came out was the small black video camera in his hand.
Pei Yi’s attention was instantly attracted by this little machine.
“Second brother, when did you hide the camera in the grass?”
After confirming that the camcorder was not damaged, but that it was turned off without power, Pei Li breathed a sigh of relief.
“The day after you and mom left, I sneaked back home once in the name of taking documents, and then hid the camcorder in the garden.”
“Dad shouldn’t have noticed.”
Pei Li hid the camera, and then went back to the room with her sister.
As for Zhou Ruguang in the study, he didn’t know anything about it.
Pei Li operated on the computer, and half an hour later, all the videos in the camcorder were imported into the computer.
The working time of the camera is 72 hours, which means that the video captures what happened between the second and fourth days after the Pei family left.
Pei Li turned on the video, and the screen showed that it was daytime, but no one appeared in the camera.
He dragged the progress bar. Seven hours later, it was estimated that at eight o’clock in the evening, there was finally a rustling sound in the garden.
At first, there was only a man’s voice, but unfortunately it was too far away to hear clearly, and then, a subtle woman’s voice sounded.
Women’s voices are smaller and more muffled than men’s.
Ten minutes later, a wheelchair and a pair of man’s feet appeared in the camera. As the man moved forward, the position of the wheelchair kept moving.
After a while, there were two more people on the screen.
One of them is naturally Zhou Ruguang, and the other is a woman——
A woman in her fifties.
The woman’s body is extremely thin. The upper body is leaning on the wheelchair, only half seated, and the lower body is covered by a thin blanket, with both hands on the knees, curled up weakly.
She looked very weak, her face was pale, she could not see blood at all, her hair was mostly white, and a wooden hairpin was tied behind her head. She looked gentle and dignified. Although she was no longer young, her face was still soft and moving.
Presumably, she is Ning Rou’s mother.
Pei Yi’s breathing stagnated, her eyes fixed on the screen.
Before he knew it, his back was covered in cold sweat.
She reached out and pointed at the screen.
“Second brother, can you zoom in to see it?”
The place she pointed to was the woman’s neck.
Pei Li nodded and clicked on the mouse with his fingertips. Soon, the picture was still and then zoomed in.
Clearly, a silver necklace hangs around the woman’s neck.
Look at the style, like it was popular decades ago.
“It’s a necklace.”
Pei Li muttered to herself, apparently thinking of what Pei Xuan saw in the safe before.
Pei Yi frowned, her heart clenched tightly together, unable to say a word.
Although she had long known that Zhou Ruguang had done a lot of terrible things, it was still difficult for her to accept the moment she witnessed it with her own eyes.
After all, it was the biological father who grew up with them and cared for them.
Pei Li sighed, pressed the cursor, and the screen continued to play.
On the screen, the man walked from the back of the wheelchair to the front of the wheelchair, and immediately stretched out his hands to hold the handle of the wheelchair, and squatted in front of the woman.
Because the distance was too far, I couldn’t hear what he said, I only saw his lips move, and a smile appeared on his face when he spoke.
Pei Li and Pei Yi turned pale when they saw the modest and gentle smile.
The woman on the screen, like them, saw the man smiling at her, her face turned white with anger, and her body couldn’t help shaking.
Obviously, she was extremely disgusted with the man in front of her.
Even though she was very weak, she still panted, raised her right hand forcefully, grabbed the silver necklace around her neck with trembling fingertips, pulled the necklace directly from her neck with all her strength, and threw it violently to the ground.
The man was treated like this, with a gentle smile still on his face.
He stood up, walked to the necklace and picked it up, then walked behind the woman with a smile, ignoring the woman’s resistance and struggle, and put the necklace on the woman’s neck again.
After reading this paragraph, Pei Li and Pei Yi’s faces were extremely ugly.
No one knew how they were feeling at the moment.
Seeing his father do this to a poor woman with his own eyes, even Pei Li, who still cared about his family, completely cooled his heart.
No one with a conscience would accept that he has such a father.
Pei Yi couldn’t bear to look anymore, and quickly turned her head away.
“Second brother, you cut down this video, and I’m going to send it to Luo Zhen and ask her what to do next.”
Pei Li nodded, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.
“Okay.”
“I didn’t expect that, Dad, he-“
His tone was full of disappointment, and it could be heard that he was really heartbroken.
But looking at his sister’s pale face, he still gave a few words of comfort.
“Didn’t you say that Ning Rou thought her mother died?”
“Now that her mother is alive, she should be very happy.”
“Little sister, go sit on the sofa for a while. I’ll cut a video of Ning Rou’s mother alone. You can send it to Ning Rou to see. I think she will feel better in her heart.”
Although he has never had direct contact with Ning Rou, Pei Li also heard a lot about Ning Rou from Pei Yi.
Knowing about her 24 years in captivity, he couldn’t help feeling sympathy for this half-sister.
When it comes to Ning Rou, Pei Yisong’s expression finally looks better.
“Second brother, thank you”
Pei Li shook her head and sat alone in front of the computer to watch the video. After a while, she cut together the clips of Ning Rou’s mother leaving the country alone.
***
Over the years, because of Ning Rou’s departure, Luo Zhen and the Luo family have almost cut off contact.
After Luo Zhenting was paralyzed, she went home much more often.
Back in Haishi that night, she happened to receive a call from Shen Rumei, saying that Luo Fanxing was also on holiday tonight, and asked if she had time to go home for dinner.
Without Luo Zhenting’s control, the old house finally felt like home.
Luo Zhen did not reject Shen Rumei’s invitation and asked the driver to drive the car back to Luo’s house.
In mid-September, half a month has passed since the start of school.
When Luo Zhen got home, Shen Rumei was still cooking in the kitchen, and as for Luo Fanxing, she was playing with Luo Baiyue on the sofa.
In a hurry to come back, Luo Fanxing didn’t even change his clothes, he was still wearing a high school uniform.
In the past two months, her hair has grown a little longer. It used to only reach her ears, but now it has grown to her shoulders.
“When are you going back to school?”
After Yuanxiang got along during that time, the relationship between the sisters is now very harmonious.
Seeing Luo Zhen again at this time, Luo Fanxing was much more relaxed than before.
She put Luo Baiyue from her arms on the sofa, then stood up and walked to Luo Zhen in three or two steps.
“The curriculum is tight, I have to attend classes every day, and I have to go back to school tomorrow morning.”
Luo Fanxing’s first and second year of high school are not interested in learning, and when he reaches the third year of high school, he has to put in more effort than others.
When others are in class, she has to go to class; when others don’t, she has to make up for it.
After so many days, people have lost a lot of weight.
Luo Zhen nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. There are many good universities in China, not necessarily Shanghai University.”
Luo Fanxing bit her lip and replied in a low voice.
“I still want to try.”
“And, and Haida is very close to the Academy of Fine Arts.”
Academy of Fine Arts?
Luo Zhen frowned slightly when he heard these two words.
Just as she was about to ask, she saw Luo Fanxing’s face blushing, and the next moment, the topic was changed.
“By the way, when will Sister Ning Rou go back to Haishi?”
“I miss her, and I miss the baby.”
Speaking of Ning Rou, Luo Zhen’s eyes suddenly softened a lot.
“Soon.”
Although Luo Baiyue likes to cry on weekdays, but after all, she is a little afraid of Luo Zhen, the big sister who will not go home all the year round.
At this time, she was sitting between the two older sisters, quietly listening to the two of them talking, without daring to make a noise, her upper body shrunk into Luo Fanxing’s arms unknowingly.
It wasn’t until there was no sound from all around that she raised her head and asked Luo Fanxing softly.
“Sister, who is the baby?”
Luo Fanxing looked embarrassed, and only then did she realize that the Luo family still didn’t know that Ning Rou had a daughter.
On the other hand, Luo Zhen’s expression was calm.
“It’s okay, sooner or later.”
This is to imply that Luo Fanxing told this matter.
Luo Fanxing understood the meaning of this sentence, and after hesitating for a while, he loosened his lips and patiently explained the identity of Ning Baobao to his sister.
“The baby is Sister Luo Zhen’s daughter, and in terms of seniority, she is also our niece.”
“Yueyue, when the baby comes back, you will be an aunt. From now on, you can’t be as willful and ignorant as before.”
aunt?
Luo Baiyue seemed to understand, but her big eyes blinked slightly.
“I’m the baby’s aunt?”
The five-year-old girl, raised by her family, is plump and fat, like a blessed doll.
Luo Fanxing looked at the little sister with a little helplessness on her face, thinking that with Luo Baiyue’s temper, if she wanted her to learn how to be an aunt, it would be better to pray that she would not bully the baby at that time.
“Um.”
“You are an aunt. In the future, you have to take good care of the baby, understand?”
The baby hasn’t come yet, so Luo Fanxing had to warn in advance to prevent the little ancestor in front of him from bullying others in the future.
The three sisters were sitting on the sofa talking, completely unaware that Shen Rumei had walked out of the kitchen long ago.
The three turned their heads together until a woman’s voice came from behind.
What I saw was naturally a surprised Shen Rumei wearing an apron—
“Luo Zhen, when did you have a daughter?”
The author has something to say: 55555 The last time I said it was about to end, it was a month ago, this time it is really about to end the text 55555
The side story is probably, the short happiness and warmth of the parents are like this
