Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Gu Junzhu asked, “Was Yang Shaotong one of the members of the crime syndicate who died in prison?”

“Yes,” Gu Qi said, “He wasn’t the main perpetrator, just an accomplice. He was sentenced to ten years, but died a little over a year after being imprisoned.”

“What about Yang Zhaoqin?” Gu Junzhu asked, “Did she have any connection to the crime syndicate?”

Gu Qi replied, “Young master, we’ve reviewed the case files from back then. The crime syndicate did not mention Yang Zhaoqin and Ruan Feifei, so we don’t know if Yang Zhaoqin and Ruan Feifei were members. However, one thing is certain: Ruan Feifei’s appearance there at that time was definitely to visit Yang Shaotong with her mother.”

“Alright, I understand. Report and arrest Yang Zhaoqin!” After giving instructions, Gu Junzhu hung up the phone and looked at Siao Fengqian, “The information is confirmed. Although Ruan Feifei carries the surname Ruan, it’s possible her father is Yang Shaotong, who was a member of that crime syndicate.”

“Does Ruan Feifei know about the bad things they did?” Siao Fengqian asked anxiously.

This point is crucial.

If Ruan Feifei knows, it means she was an informed party.

Trafficking women and children and selling organs, such heinous acts. Knowing and not reporting is reprehensible. Even if she was only fifteen at the time, too young to face legal consequences, at the very least she could have made Zhan Jinchuan aware of her malice and depravity.

Zhan Jinchuan might hate her because of it.

If she was unaware, Zhan Jinchuan might forgive her.

“This is too far back; there’s no way to investigate,” Gu Junzhu said, “But her mother, Yang Zhaoqin, is still alive. I’ve already arranged for her arrest. Once we catch her, the police might help us find out if she and Ruan Feifei were informed.”

“Didn’t Ruan Feifei say her mother was dead?” Ye Xingbei speculated, “I think whether Ruan Feifei knew or not, her mother definitely did! Otherwise, why would she hide under a false identity and let Ruan Feifei claim she was dead?”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Makes sense.”

Lingyue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “I think Ruan Feifei is very bad.”

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

He was too quiet.

Besides times when interacting with Xiao Shumiao, he sometimes barely spoke a few words throughout the day.

Hearing him offering an opinion unexpectedly, Ye Xingbei even felt a bit excited.

She always hoped Lingyue would talk more and interact with them more.

Just as she was excitedly planning to ask why Lingyue thought so, Xiao Shumiao already asked first, “Brother Xiaoyue, why do you think Ruan Feifei is very bad?”

“Because she’s a liar,” Lingyue said, “Even if she didn’t know her father was a criminal before, she certainly found out later. Yet, she didn’t confess to Chuan Dada and instead sold Chuan Dada’s jade pendant. She let Chuan Dada be grateful to her for saving his life, but in fact, it was her father who captured Chuan Dada. Her releasing Chuan Dada was what she should have done. She had no real act of saving Chuan Dada, yet she didn’t tell him, letting him remain foolishly grateful to her.”

As he said this, he wasn’t looking at anyone in the room but was staring at the door.

Xiao Shumiao felt curious, moved over, and tugged his arm, “Brother Xiaoyue, you’re talking to me, why aren’t you looking at me but the door?”

Zhan Jinchuan standing outside the door: “…”

Gu Junzhu almost burst out laughing, making no effort to spare Zhan Jinchuan’s dignity, and walked over to open the door.

Zhan Jinchuan, who was about to leave: “…”
