Chapter 705: Hu Zi’ s Whereabouts! (5)

As Si Zhengting said this, he paused once more.

At the very least, it proved that there had indeed been someone who had bribed Hu Zi to run Mother Zhuang over.

But Zhuang Nainai and her mother had been living their lives normally for 18 years prior to the incident, and if anyone had wanted to take revenge on them, they would have done so a long time ago. Also, Mother Zhuang, with her low profile, came into contact only with people of a lower social status. Who would have wanted to run Mother Zhuang over?

And so...

The more Si Zhengting investigated, the more he felt that it had been Madam Ding who had given the order to run her over.

But now that Madam Ding wasn’t the culprit, everything was now a mystery.

Zhuang Nainai was angered as he said this and her eyes reddened instantly. “This man just deserved it! Back then, my mother needed 300,000 dollars for her surgery, and I had gone over to ask him for money... and he had insisted that he didn’t have any money! His girlfriend was just giving birth — did she really need 200,000 dollars for that?!”

Seeing how worked up she was, Si Zhengting tried to calm her down. “Don’t get angry, okay? See, he’s gotten his retribution.”

Si Zhengting continued, “After getting out of jail, Hu Zi went to find his girlfriend, but little did he expect that his girlfriend had actually aborted the child or that she hadn’t even been pregnant to begin with! She had also given the 200,000 dollars to her current boyfriend as investment capital, and her boyfriend had actually gotten rich in the span of five years! Hu Zi, not willing to bow down to his fate, went to sort things out with them. The new boyfriend, on the other hand, had been looking for Hu Zi all this while in order to deal with him too. Hu Zi, having been on the run without a stable job ever since he finished serving his jail sentence, came out to meet us only because we said we’d be giving him money. He’s now relying on a few buddies to financially get him through this time, but those buddies have been very secretive about their identities, so nobody really knows who they are. If we can find out where these good friends of his are, we might get a lead as to where Hu Zi is.”

Zhuang Nainai suddenly didn’t know what to say after hearing so much. Even though she wanted to say that he had gotten his just desserts, his child had been innocent. Now that she was pregnant, anything that had to do with children made her go soft.

Keeping such thoughts to herself, Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and cocked her head. “Why do I feel as if you’ve told me about this before?”

Si Zhengting was stunned. “Have I?”

Zhuang Nainai blinked her large eyes. “Haven’t you?”

Si Zhengting shook his head. He rubbed her head, then let her lean on his shoulder as he shifted sidewards. “Extend your legs and lie flat. That’ll make you feel better.”

Zhuang Nainai obediently stretched out her legs and rested herself on Si Zhengting.

But there was still confusion and questioning in her eyes.

Why... why did she feel that Hu Zi’s story sounded so familiar? It was as if someone had told her his story before.

The more she thought about it, the more she found it familiar.

Hu Zi... Hu Zi...

But who could it be?

Zhuang Nainai couldn’t think of an answer, and she decided to toy with her phone instead.

The hashtag reading “Mi Nuo’s Issue” was still popular, and everyone was evidently still discussing the issue in the aftermath of it.

Ji Chen had been highly efficient in his work — Mi Nuo’s house had already been mortgaged, she had already been chased out, and there were already reporters on her tail everywhere to report her whereabouts.

Mi Nuo, it seemed, had also taken her phone with her. At first, she had sought a hotel to hide, but she had subsequently disappeared. Presently, nobody knew where she was.

People all over the Internet were guessing where she was. Most people said that she was still in Beijing; if she found herself unable to survive in the city any longer, perhaps she had gone back to her hometown to farm?

Just when the discussion was going on, Zhuang Nainai’s phone beeped and there was a new Weibo post.
