Chapter 725 - Inching Closer and Closer to the Truth! (7)
Chapter 725: Inching Closer and Closer to the Truth! (7)
After hearing this, Zhuang Nainai nodded and narrowed her eyes. “I think Hu Zi will not speak mindlessly. The real murderer must have instructed him to accuse you. Furthermore, I think it’s odd that he said that the murderer is the person who is with me, but he can’t even say the name of that person. There must be something fishy regarding this matter.”
Seeing how Zhuang Nainai was actively searching for loopholes in Hu Zi’s words, Ding Mengya instantly became more delighted. “Yes, that must be it.”
Upon saying this, she suddenly thought of something. At the same time, Zhuang Nainai thought of the exact same thing. Hence, both of them said in unison, “Detain that friend of his!”
Hu Zi was willing to show up only because of that taxi driver, which showed that the two of them shared a close relationship. Hu Zi had escaped, but that taxi driver couldn’t possibly do so. As long as they were detaining him, Hu Zi would surely show up!
Although this method was rather despicable, Zhuang Nainai felt that in such a crucial moment… Regardless of the color of the cat, as long as it could catch the mouse, it was a good cat!
As for the taxi driver who was caught in this crossfire… After everything was over, she would make sure to give him a thick red packet. It might not be able to compensate him for the emotional distress he had suffered during this time, but it would still be a way for her to apologize.

After Zhuang Nainai and Ding Mengya returned to the Si residence, the butler immediately welcomed them. He looked at them anxiously, as if he was waiting for the outcome. However, upon seeing Ding Mengya and Zhuang Nainai being silent, the butler held back his words immediately and simply said, “The soup for Madam has been brewed. Madam, you should have a bowl of soup.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded.
Seeing that Zhuang Nainai and Madam Ding did not look unhappy, the butler heaved a sigh of relief before asking the housekeeper to serve the soup speedily.
Slightly worn out, Zhuang Nainai plopped down on the couch and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 4 pm. Logically speaking, Si Zhengting should have arrived at Kentucky. He should also have met her mother, but why… hadn’t he given her a call?
Dazed, Zhuang Nainai picked up her phone and called Si Zhengting.
As it was an international call, the signal was quite bad. She could not make the call the first time she tried. The call was made on her second try, but after a few rings on the other end, the call was cut off automatically, implying that there was no signal.
It looked like Si Zhengting and the others were at a place with bad reception.
Zhuang Nainai sighed as she leaned on the couch. The joy she felt at the thought of finding Mother Zhuang was slowly replaced by the anxiety of not being able to contact Si Zhengting.
After pondering for a moment, she sat up and picked up her phone again. She called Gu Deshou.
The call was connected, but no one answered the call even after the phone had rung for a long time. She tousled her hair in frustration. Upon seeing her like this, Ding Mengya joined her. “Nainai, what’s wrong?”
She looked at her phone and asked, “Have Zhengting and the others not called you yet? Don’t worry. I will ask around for you.”
Ding Mengya had the number of the overseas person whom Si Zhengting had hired for this matter. She grabbed her phone and dialed the number. She rambled in English before ending the call. Then, she looked at Zhuang Nainai, who was looking at her anxiously.
Ding Mengya frowned. “He said that he didn’t know Zhengting’s whereabouts. Zhengting has taken over everything after touching down.”
After she heard this, Zhuang Nainai’s heart lurched.
She had spent the entire afternoon in anxiety. That night, just as they were feeling very antsy, Si Zhengting finally called.
After hearing this, Zhuang Nainai nodded and narrowed her eyes. “I think Hu Zi will not speak mindlessly. The real murderer must have instructed him to accuse you.
