Chapter 1027 - 507: Masterful Acting? Hidden Truths (Part 2)
This Lin Zimo is probably already considered his future daughter-in-law.
If Zheng Guorong finds out that I made Lin Zimo cry.
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
So he had to apologize quickly.
"Miss Lin, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect you to be such a kind and sensitive person."
"I can also promise that I didn’t mean to make you cry."
But looking at Chen Jinping, he was very embarrassed.
And seemed a bit at a loss.
Lin Zimo, however, said.
"Captain Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I just feel that like Mr. Hu, who has worked diligently his whole life, to end up like this is really quite regrettable."
"Although today is the first time I’ve met him, I think I should do something for him. Otherwise, this uncle is too pitiful."
Lin Zimo’s genuine kindness and beauty.
Made Chen Jinping feel a sudden surge of gratitude.
"Miss Lin, if Mr. Hu knew there was someone who cared about him like this, he would definitely be very happy."
"Thank you so much!"
At this moment.
Chen Jinping finally understood.
Why Su Jianfan chose Lin Zimo as a girlfriend.
Because she is such a compassionate and sympathetic person.
And seeing that the other party has taken the bait.
Lin Zimo proactively suggested.
"Captain Chen, since that’s the case, to better take care of the uncle, we should find him a dedicated caretaker right now to look after him."
Hearing Lin Zimo say this.
And seeing her desperately winking at him.
Su Jianfan finally understood.
Why did Lin Zimo go through such lengths earlier?
Everything she did was to lead to saying these words.
So he quickly chimed in.
"Zimo is right. A good man like Uncle deserves better care. By finding someone suitable to take care of him now, we are also providing him some help."
But looking at both of them getting excited.
There was still some seriousness in his tone.
Chen Jinping was even more hesitant.
"You two, is it appropriate to do this?"
"If Vice Minister Zheng finds out, he might think I’m playing the sympathy card to save on follow-up expenses. It doesn’t seem right."
But seeing Chen Jinping’s reluctance, he clearly hoped they wouldn’t do this.
Lin Zimo spoke with great certainty.
"Captain Chen, you’re mistaken. Actually, this matter was instructed by Vice Minister Zheng. He hopes that Su Jianfan and I can take responsibility for this. To take good care of the elder, he wishes us to help the elder through the tough times. At least until he opens his eyes."
"After all, despite the uproar outside, whether it’s the two of us or Vice Minister Zheng, we believe Mr. Hu couldn’t have done such a thing."
"Otherwise, if too many people doubt, if they think he did something wrong, the rampant rumors would lead to even more negative effects, or even backfire."
Lin Zimo spoke with some hesitation.
And at this moment, Captain Chen had to agree.
"Well, since Miss Lin insists, I’ll leave this matter to you."
"Thank you sincerely for being willing to provide us with such help."
Seeing Captain Chen being so emotional.
At this point, he deeply bowed to Lin Zimo.
Lin Zimo just smiled it off.
"Captain Chen, it’s nothing, this is what I should be doing."
"Besides, Jianfan told me before. He wants me to show my abilities more in front of our leaders, so they can recognize me as much as possible."
Lin Zimo said this, giving a sweet smile and glanced at the still somewhat wooden Su Jianfan.
Her demeanor truly surprised Captain Chen a little.
But although he had some suspicions.
Still, since Zheng Guorong had acknowledged this prospective daughter-in-law.
Chen Jinping didn’t say much more and could only thank both of them.
"Since both of you are prepared now. I won’t say more. When Mr. Hu wakes up later, I’ll thank you and Mr. Luo on his behalf."
A while later.
After Lin Zimo called for the caregiver she knew.
She left the hospital with Su Jianfan.
Getting in the car, preparing to leave the hospital.
Lin Zimo finally felt slightly relieved.
"Phew! Managed to bluff through it."
Seeing Lin Zimo hesitated to speak.
Saying here, she clearly felt some relief.
Su Jianfan looked at her with a somewhat admiring gaze.
"Lin Zimo, it proves that you’re indeed very smart. And you really worked hard to help Mr. Luo just now."
Seeing the admiration in his eyes towards her.
Lin Zimo became a bit embarrassed.
"What else could I do?"
"Besides, you were completely frozen just now. If I hadn’t thought of a way to bluff through, the consequences would be predictable."
Lin Zimo said, unable to help but give a wry smile.
But Su Jianfan said seriously.
"Lin Zimo, I’m serious. I’m very sure Mr. Luo brought you with me this time because it was the right choice. If it weren’t for your cleverness earlier, we might have been exposed."
Such praise made Lin Zimo feel a sudden sense of achievement.
Because since she was a child, her parents always had high standards and strict demands.
Even when Lin Zimo came first in school, her parents would compliment her moderately, urging her to maintain her performance next time.
If Lin Zimo scored 98 on an exam, they would ask her why she lost the two points.
But to receive such earnest praise from Su Jianfan.
Was a first for Lin Zimo.
This made her heart soften a little towards Su Jianfan.
Ring, ring!
Almost at the same time.
Su Jianfan’s phone rang.
He picked up to hear Luo Fei’s voice.
"Su Jianfan, how are you doing with the task I assigned you?"
"Mr. Luo, it’s all taken care of. You were indeed perceptive. This incident was resolved smoothly, all thanks to Miss Lin."
At this, Lin Zimo was suddenly enlightened.
"Oh, so all along, your shocked and incredulous expression earlier was just an act to fool me, Su Jianfan?"
Seeing Lin Zimo in disbelief.
Even she was quite surprised at this.
Su Jianfan shrugged.
"Actually, Mr. Luo just told me not to speak recklessly and to see how things unfold."
"He also said you would help us through this predicament. I just didn’t expect Mr. Luo to be so accurate. It’s quite surprising."
Though delighted about the task’s successful conclusion.
Lin Zimo felt that from another perspective.
Her performance was within Luo Fei’s expectations.
She hadn’t given him any surprise or reason for admiration.
Hence she felt somewhat disappointed.
"Mr. Luo, actually during the conversation with Chen Jinping just now, I felt a bit awkward."
At this moment, Su Jianfan intentionally changed the subject.
This piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity too.
"Is that so, what seemed off to you?"
Remembering that Luo Fei had told him to follow his instincts.
Su Jianfan hesitated only a moment before speaking.
"Mr. Luo, though I may not be correct, my intuition tells me."
"Chen Jinping doesn’t seem to be a murderer, rather we’re overthinking it. I wonder if my intuition is right or not..."
As it turns out, Su Jianfan wasn’t idle just now.
He was observing Chen Jinping’s micro-expressions.
Trying to see if he was truly upset over his mentor’s trouble.
Or if he was just acting it out.
And from his expressions.
Su Jianfan noticed a hint of compassion and sympathy.
This might indicate that Luo Fei’s judgment might have some deviation, or perhaps the truth is different from their assumptions.
But hearing his analysis.
Lin Zimo had a different opinion.
