ght it was the most important thing right now to send this god away first. He certainly didn't want Xia Tian to get angry and smash everything in the KTV, which would make it hard for him to explain t...Chapter 928: Someone Is Peeping
Since Summer had the key to Leng Bingbing's house for a long time, he didn't need to press the doorbell and could directly enter with his own key. However, when he entered the room, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place because there were so many people in the room.
There were four people sitting in the living room at that moment; two of them Summer knew—Leng Hongbo and Wang Wei. The other middle-aged couple he had never seen before. Leng Bingbing, whom Summer wanted to see most, was not in the living room either.
The first ones to notice Summer were precisely this middle-aged couple. Upon seeing a stranger enter, they looked somewhat nervous but didn't say anything.
"Brother-in-law," Leng Hongbo finally noticed that there was an extra person and hurriedly greeted Summer.
Summer, however, wasn't interested in dealing with this guy who had ruined his plans; he still wanted to beat him up for it.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Leng Bingbing walked out. Xia Tian finally perked up and approached her: "Bingbing."
"You're here!" Upon seeing Xia Tian, Leng Bingbing was pleasantly surprised, yet also a little taken aback, "Why didn't you call me to let me know"
"Of course I don’t need to make a phone call when I come home," Xia Tian said matter-of-factly. This place might be Leng Bingbing’s house, but it was just as much his home too, so why would he need to give her a heads up
“If you had called first, I could have waited for you to eat together,” Leng Bingbing spoke in an unusually gentle tone that made the people around them feel slightly awkward. After all, she was never this soft-spoken with them.
After a brief pause, Leng Bingbing asked again: "Have you had dinner If not, I can go out to eat with you now."
It wasn’t even eight o’clock yet; most people would have already eaten by this time. However, it was also common for someone to still be hungry at this hour, which is why Leng Bingbing asked.
"I've already eaten." Summer did eat, accompanied by Ye Mengying.
She glanced at the middle-aged couple and couldn’t help but ask, "Bingbing, who are they"
Cold Bingbing softly introduced them to Summer. Only then did she understand that they were Cold Hongbo’s parents, her uncle and aunt—Cold Zhixiang and Pan Meixia.
"Uncle, Aunt, this is Summer, my husband," Cold Bingbing also briefly introduced Summer's identity to them. However, Summer clearly wasn't very aware of etiquette, or rather, he didn’t want to extend greetings to others because he hadn’t greeted her uncle and aunt himself.
Summer was puzzled why Cold Hongbo and Wang Wei were still living here And not only that, his parents were also here now
"Let's go upstairs." Cold Bingbing pulled Summer upstairs into her bedroom and somewhat helplessly told him, "Hongbo’s case is encountering trouble, so his parents are here too."
"Why is there still trouble" Summer found it strange; he thought the matter was settled.
Leng Bingbing could only explain in detail to Summer. Originally, everything had been going smoothly, and Leng Hongbo should not have any problem being recognized as having acted in self-defense. However, there's a saying that money can make the devil grind; so it is, these days, not only has a reporter published an article in a newspaper claiming this was intentional murder but also accusing Leng Bingbing of harboring her cousin. Even more unexpectedly for Leng Bingbing, previously those witnesses have all changed their testimonies.
Earlier, Leng Bingbing had found four or five witnesses to prove that Leng Hongbo was being attacked by He Zhen and two others together; however, now these witnesses are saying they lied back then. They claim they didn't see anything and only saw Leng Hongbo stab He Zhen once before running away.
The knife is a crucial piece of evidence as well. Originally, it was just a fruit knife that Leng Hongbo picked up from a roadside fruit stand, which would have proved his desperation in self-defense; the vendor's initial testimony also confirmed this. The vendor stated there were indeed knives at their stall and affirmed that the knife belonged to them. But now, even the vendor has changed their story.
The vendor now denies ever having a knife at their fruit stand, claiming they sell fruit, not pineapples, so why would they need a knife
In summary, the fruit vendor is denying that the knife was theirs. They even claim to have seen Leng Hongbo taking out the knife from his body. This change means the situation has become more serious because carrying a knife on one's person could easily be interpreted as premeditation. In other words, this evidence now makes it harder for Leng Hongbo; while proving intentional murder might stretch things a bit too far, there is now ample evidence to support allegations of attempted intentional injury.
As for the inconsistent statements given during their two confessions, these individuals were surprisingly unanimous: they all claimed to have been coldly interrogated under duress by Li Bingbing because she is a police officer and they dared not say anything other than what she demanded.
"Those idiots are asking for trouble!" Xia Tian was quite unhappy; those fools actually dared to slander his wife. They were truly unaware of their own mortality!
"He Zhen's parents are very wealthy, rumored to have been coal bosses in the past who made billions. In recent years, they've also invested heavily in real estate all over the place and no one knows how much more money they’ve earned. What they lack the least is certainly not cash," Li Bingbing shook her head. "In today's society, many people will say whatever goes against their conscience for a price."
As she spoke, Li Bingbing pulled Xia Tian to the window and drew back the curtains, pointing at another villa several dozen meters away: "Look there! This villa was just sold to He Zhen’s parents. They’re currently living there and keeping an eye on us every day!"
"What do those idiots want by watching this place" Xia Tian found it somewhat strange.
"Not sure, but I heard that a reporter is also staying at the villa, apparently hoping to capture some kind of footage involving me." Li Bingbing didn't take this matter seriously; after all, she had nothing to hide and besides, she kept her curtains drawn during the day anyway.
Summer stared at the opposite building for a while and then said, "There's an idiot looking at us with binoculars! I'm going to take care of him!"
Cold Ice wasn't too bothered, but Summer couldn't tolerate someone trying to peep on his wife from across the street.
"Husband, don’t overreact. Let me handle this," Cold Ice worried that Summer might escalate the situation and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Cousin!" At this moment, Wang Wei's voice was heard from outside, "People from He Family have come again, saying they want to negotiate with us but are being held back by the bodyguards. Do you want to see them"
"I'll be right there," Cold Ice replied and then gently said to Summer, "Husband, I’ll first find out what they want from us in terms of negotiation. You can hold off on dealing with that peeping idiot for now."
"Alright." Although he agreed, Summer had already made up his mind to take care of the matter immediately.e, no need to be formal," Huang Anping didn’t probe further but promised wholeheartedly. Actually, today he was introducing Xia Tian and Li Bai to each other; recently, Li Bai had been eager to meet t...
