Chapter 354: Incomplete Recording

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With the IOU in hand, Wang Yue had nothing to fear.

She instructed Zhou Nan to hand over his phone to the debt collectors, asked about the amount owed, and immediately transferred the money without a second word.

Those people, after receiving the money, immediately changed their attitude and even discarded the sticks they had brought with them. “Alright, since the money is repaid, we won’t trouble you anymore. Zhou Nan, feel free to come back to the casino next time!”

Having someone cover his debts, Zhou Nan felt an itch to gamble again.

Seeing her son eager to leave with someone else, Old Wang quickly begged and advised, “Good son, we can’t go to such places anymore, okay? Listen to Mom, please?”

Zhou Nan hesitated.

The sturdy men couldn’t help but sneer, “Zhou Nan, we didn’t expect you to be a baby who hasn’t been weaned yet! Do you need your mom’s approval to go out and play?”

Wanting to save face, Zhou Nan pushed Old Wang away. He watched as his mother fell in front of him but made no move to help her up. Instead, he cursed, “If 1 don’t gamble, when will we ever get rich? Old hag, mind your own business!”

“That’s right, Brother Zhou Nan, we’ll be waiting for you at the usual place!” The men patted him on the shoulder, laughed heartily, and left.

Poor Zhou Nan thought he had successfully gained the approval of others, but little did he know that those men were secretly mocking his foolishness.

Zhou Nan clearly had the intention to gamble again.

Wanting to live a peaceful life for a few days, Old Wang worried that her son might lose and face more debt collectors. She clung to her son’s legs as he tried to leave, pleading, “My precious, you absolutely cannot go! Mom can’t live without you!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Zhou Nan impatiently kicked her away, forcing her to release her grip. Then, he strode out without looking back.

At this moment, Old Wang’s phone rang again.

She quickly took it out to answer, ignoring her disheveled appearance. Hurrying to the door, she blocked her son from leaving. “It’s Wang Yue’s call. You can’t leave yet. Let’s hear what she wants us to do!”

Zhou Nan halted his steps. The arrogant attitude he had towards his mother just now disappeared. A trace of fear and unease flashed in his eyes.

He didn’t dare to answer the call himself and ordered Old Wang to do it.

Old Wang, always obedient to her son, didn’t hesitate. She pressed the answer button.

At that time, smartphones were becoming popular, but Old Wang, lacking funds, still used an old black brick phone. It was not only bulky but also somewhat unresponsive.

Wang Yue’s words were almost finished when Zhou Nan remembered to start recording. However, due to the lag in the phone, he only managed to record the last sentence.

“As long as you complete this task, I will become Mrs. Mei. By then, I will give you a sum of money every month.”

The woman’s malicious voice echoed in the spacious living room.

Lin He looked at Mei Shu in surprise, slowly realizing that what Mei Shu was investigating was actually the cause of her mother’s death!

Captain Wang furrowed his brows, obviously connecting it to the accidental incident at the Mei family years ago. He said in a deep voice, “So, you’ve been doing so much because you want to reopen the old case.”

“Recording as evidence, my mother’s death is definitely related to these three people! The manor where Old Wang worked back then was the same manor where my mother went to relax. It was easy for Old Wang to tamper with her car. It was a piece of cake!”

Captain Wang nodded in agreement. “That’s true, but it’s been so many years. Finding crucial evidence is extremely difficult. The recording can only serve as a clue, not direct evidence. Moreover, this recording doesn’t specify what Wang Yue asked Old Wang and her son to do.”

Mei Shu also understood this logic, but there were some things she would never give up on, no matter how difficult.

“I want to access all the surveillance videos from the villa back then. There must be backups in the police station, right?” Mei Shu’s eyes flickered with intense hatred and hope.

Captain Wang didn’t hesitate and took out his phone. He went to the balcony, lit a cigarette, spoke with someone on the phone, extinguished the cigarette, and returned. “It’s still available. I promised you to go back to the police station now to retrieve the surveillance videos and see if there are any overlooked details. But you must promise me, don’t take any rash actions until I contact you.”

The vengeance for a mother’s death was enough to make someone lose their rationality.

Captain Wang was worried that Mei Shu might do something irreparable and sacrifice her own life.

“Okay.” Mei Shu didn’t hesitate and promptly agreed.

Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to resort to those unsavory methods.

Moreover, she had intentionally invited Captain Wang along today, hoping to leverage the power of the police.

Through their interactions, Mei Shu could see that Captain Wang was indeed a rare good cop.

She trusted him.

With Mei Shu’s assurance, Captain Wang finally left with peace of mind. Once back at the police station, he personally went to check the surveillance footage..
