Chapter 743: Suspecting Xia Lan

"Ah, Chuyi, your mom really hasn’t learned her lesson after being burned once," Chang Luhui shook his head, looking somewhat helpless. "She provoked your great aunt with her words again..."

"Upon being provoked by your mom, your great aunt got so angry that she pushed your mom outdoors," Chang Luhui couldn’t help but shake his head again and continued, "It must have been fate; when your mom fell down, she rolled down a small hill and hit a rock, which ended up breaking her leg."

Chuyi raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Was it really such a coincidence?"

But apart from the coincidence, Chuyi felt that the entire course of events... seemed far too simple?

Chang Luhui nodded and said, "I understand what you mean."

"This incident is indeed quite coincidental and somewhat unbelievable... however, your mom and your great aunt’s accounts match completely."

That is to say, Chang Luhui had also doubted, but nothing came of it.

"Honestly, I never thought that the hatred between women could run so deep," Chang Luhui said with a sigh.

Chuyi was still puzzled, and after thinking it over, he said, "Director Chang, you know Xia Lan, right?"

"Is there anything suspicious about her... in this matter?"

He always felt that without someone stirring things up in the background, his mom and her aunt’s conflict wouldn’t have escalated to such an extent.

Upon hearing this, Chang Luhui nodded and said, "I know Xia Lan... because you asked me to keep an eye on her before, so as soon as she returned to Ling County, I had someone watch her."

"However, after following her for several days, nothing peculiar about her behavior was observed."

"And during the two times your mom and aunt had a conflict, she wasn’t present," Chang Luhui added.

Then, Chang Luhui shook his head again and said, "But I must admit, I don’t have a good feeling about this Xia Lan; just by looking at her, you can tell she’s quite scheming."

As the saying goes, a person’s appearance reflects their heart.

Working in public security, I have seen enough of evil appearances and can somewhat discern people’s true nature.

"It’s just unfortunate that neither your mom nor your aunt mentioned her," Chen Hui said with some regret.

That is to say, under the current circumstances, there’s no way to "suspect" Xia Lan.

Hearing this, Chuyi furrowed his brows and asked Chang Luhui, "Then Director Chang, do you know why Xia Lan returned to Ling County this time?"

Xia Lan had been in the Capital, relying on Ou Jiao, and her life could be described as thriving. Why did she suddenly return to Ling County?

This was why, after his aunt and mom had a conflict, Chuyi began to suspect Xia Lan.

Xia Lan’s return to Ling County was just too coincidental.

"I actually do know a bit about that," Chang Luhui nodded and said, "It’s said that Xia Lan made good out there and came back to Ling County to take her sisters back to the Capital with her."

"Xia Zhu and Xia Ju?" Chuyi was genuinely surprised upon hearing Chang Luhui’s words.

That Xia Lan, being such a selfish person, would actually think of coming home and taking her family out?

Just as Chuyi was surprised, Chang Luhui spread his hands and said, "However, Xia Lan’s suggestion wasn’t agreed upon by your Third Aunt and Uncle."

"Then, your Third Aunt and Uncle demanded a large sum of money from Xia Lan to let her take Xia Zhu and Xia Ju."
