Life and Death Insurance – CH 030

Chapter 30

Half an hour later, Chu Feng sat upright in front of Ling Zhengzhong, looking at him with a very suggestive gaze while rummaging through the box.

“Um… Mr. Ling, are you really sure this isn’t a prank by your ex-girlfriend?”

“Officer Chu, I’ve said it several times already, I’ve only had one girlfriend this year, Shen Meimei. You don’t actually think this is a prank by Shen Meimei, do you? If that were the case, I wouldn’t be looking for you; I’d be looking for a Taoist priest!”

Ignoring Ling Zhengzhong’s teasing, Chu Feng looked at Xiang Tian sitting beside him. “Xiang Tian, ​​what do you think?”

Xiang Tian looked at Ling Zhengzhong. “Zhengzhong, could these be Shen Meimei’s things?”

“No, Shen Meimei doesn’t like silk underwear; hers are all cotton, and she would never wear such a bright red one.” Ling Zhengzhong pointed to a red nightgown.

Chu Feng shrugged. The sender’s address on the express mail was somewhere in the suburbs, and the handwriting was awkward, which made him raise an eyebrow with amusement.

“The handwriting is clearly left-handed, and the address is fabricated. There’s no such address there. If there were, it would probably be in the middle of the lake.”

Chu Feng looked up at the sky. “So sure?”

“I deal with insurance everywhere; the thing I remember best is house numbers.”

“The person who sent the package was quite careful. I doubt they left any fingerprints. I’ll send someone to check the express mail service to see if there are any clues… Last time, the car theft frame-up left no clues, and now this underwear incident… Mr. Ling, have you unintentionally offended someone? Especially women, you know, when women get angry, they can be terrifying.”

Ling Zhengzhong was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head.

Could it be Lin Qiaoya? That woman was chasing him like crazy, and she appeared right after Shen Meimei died. Was it really that much of a coincidence? But why would she send a box of women’s old underwear if she’s chasing him?

“Alright then, if you remember anything, contact me immediately. I’m taking these things.”

Chu Feng picked up the box and was about to leave when Xiang Tian hurriedly said, “Cousin, Zhengzhong might be in danger. Didn’t you request someone to protect him?”

“You said yourself that he might be in danger. A high probability is evidence; a low probability is speculation. We police officers act based on evidence, not speculation!”

What kind of crazy cop was this? His words sound like a tongue twister. Ling Zhengzhong was about to retort, but Chu Feng’s next words immediately dispelled his anger.

“Xiang Tian, ​​I think this place is quite spacious. Why don’t you move in? First, you can protect Mr. Ling, and second, it’ll save you on your utility bills. Your salary is so low that after all the deductions, there isn’t much left. Living together would reduce your expenses, killing two birds with one stone. I wonder what Mr. Ling thinks?”

“…”

What did you mean by killing two birds with one stone? Although his salary wasn’t very high, at least he could afford the utility bills!

Xiang Tian glared at his cousin, surprised by his directness, but Ling Zhengzhong immediately chimed in.

“Great! Great! I agree! This house is too empty for me to live alone. I’ve been wanting to share a place for a while now. If Xiang Tian moves in, he can even teach me how to cook.”

That was the most important thing, but if possible, it would be best to cook for him every day.

“Oh…”

Before Xiang Tian could reply, Chu Feng immediately interjected, “Then it’s settled. Xiang Tian doesn’t have much; just some personal belongings will suffice.”

The two of them, talking to themselves, essentially bought out Xiang Tian’s rights without consulting the person involved. It was as if it were perfectly natural for him to move in with Ling Zhengzhong. Moreover, before leaving, Chu Feng even told Ling Zhengzhong, “Mr. Ling, my cousin is very skilled. With him around, you can rest assured.”

Was this little hamster really that capable?

Ling Zhengzhong looked suspiciously at Xiang Tian beside him, while the latter stood up to see Chu Feng out, oblivious to his gaze.

“Zhengzhong, is there something you didn’t tell my cousin?” Xiang Tian asked Ling Zhengzhong after returning.

This little hamster had such keen intuition! Why didn’t he use that skill to sell insurance?

When Xiang Tian asked him, Ling Zhengzhong had no choice but to tell him about Lin Qiaoya and his suspicions about her. After listening, Xiang Tian pondered for a moment and said, “Zhengzhong, give me a list of all the boyfriends and girlfriends you’ve had in the past two years. I’ll have my cousin check it out for you.”

Ling Zhengzhong looked somewhat embarrassed. “What are you talking about? What boyfriends?”

“Zhengzhong, you’ve been to those kinds of places, haven’t you?”

Ling Zhengzhong was somewhat ashamed and annoyed, wondering where Xiang Tian had heard such a secret. He shouted, “Did that bastard Yang Yiqing tell you?”

“It has nothing to do with him, Zhengzhong. I just want to help you. The person who wants to harm you might be connected to your friends. Give me the list; the sooner the better.”

Huh? Why did the little hamster seem like a completely different person when he said this?

This left Ling Zhengzhong speechless. He obediently sat down and listed the names one by one. After all, he also wanted to know who was so bored and perverted, repeatedly trying to harm him.

In the past two years, besides Shen Meimei, he had two other girlfriends. One relationship lasted three months before ending naturally because she immigrated. The other relationship was even shorter; they’d known each other for less than a month before she dumped him because he went to a gay bar, claiming she suspected he was gay and unreliable.

As for going to the gay bar, it was all Yang Yiqing’s fault. He said he’d take him on an adventure, and Ling Zhengzhong, half-drunk, went along without thinking. It was quite exciting, though; he discovered for the first time that men could be more alluring than women when they wanted to be. Unfortunately, he only went to such places once and never went again.

Besides that, he had a few close female friends, and Lin Qiaoya.

Ling Zhengzhong confessed to his infidelity like a husband admitting to cheating, not only listing the names of his girlfriends but also explaining everything in detail, even his visits to male prostitutes. He felt he’d never been this open with even his ex-girlfriends.

Upon hearing Ling Zhengzhong mention male prostitutes, Xiang Tian’s expression changed slightly, but he ultimately remained silent.
