Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1260 - 1235: Problem Solved

The final message from Little Jing’s mother was emitted from the teddy bear at this very moment.

"Little Jing, by the time you hear this, Mom won't be by your side anymore. My dearest daughter, I apologize for breaking my promise. I intended to always protect you, but I can no longer do so. Please, do not resent your aunt. These are the debts Mom incurred. You and Dad must live well. Mom will watch over you from the heavens."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Susu's expression shifted to one of shock. She finally grasped the meaning behind Ye Chen's earlier words.

Little Jing’s mother was aware that her own sister harbored deadly intentions toward her, yet she took no action and even implored Little Jing to forgive her aunt.

This demonstrated the profound love the elder sister held for her younger sibling.

However, Little Jing’s mother had not foreseen that her husband would also fall victim, nor that her daughter would meet such a tragic end.

It became evident that her affection had almost led to her daughter's demise as well.

Both Ye Chen and Zhou Susu let out a collective sigh.

Suddenly, Zhou Susu seemed to recall something and inquired, "Why did Little Jing's mother mention owing her sister? There must be a hidden secret here."

"How would I know?" Ye Chen responded with a shrug.

In truth, not only Zhou Susu found it peculiar; Ye Chen also considered the unfolding situation increasingly mysterious.

"That’s right; why am I asking you?" Zhou Susu murmured, a frown creasing her brow.

They both understood that this matter was known only to Little Jing’s mother and her aunt.

But with Little Jing’s mother now deceased, only her aunt remained as the keeper of this secret. The complication, however, was that the aunt was currently abroad, making things exceedingly difficult.

"If you seek the answer, then you must confront that wicked woman," Ye Chen advised with a sigh.

He deemed Little Jing’s aunt utterly depraved. To murder her own sister and brother-in-law, and to not even spare the child Little Jing, was truly monstrous.

"She is overseas. It appears a trip abroad is indeed necessary," Zhou Susu stated, her brow furrowed.

After all, Little Jing’s aunt was the perpetrator. Regardless of her location abroad, she needed to be apprehended and brought to justice.

"Indeed, if she were still within the country, resolving this would be simpler. However, with her abroad, it presents a considerable challenge," Ye Chen admitted, a hint of concern in his voice.

Zhou Susu suddenly recalled a detail and announced, "After the incident, since Little Jing was left only with her aunt, I reached out to her. She mentioned she would return once she finalized her affairs abroad."

Ye Chen reacted as if he had heard a jest. "Are you foolish? She is the murderer. Having successfully escaped abroad, why would she willingly return to walk into a trap?"

Ye Chen's words struck Zhou Susu, and she realized the logic was undeniable.

Considering the circumstances, no rational person would return, as doing so would expose them to the risk of capture.

"Ye Chen, what should we do now?" Zhou Susu felt a growing sensation of a headache.

She also harbored a sense of frustration, having uncovered evidence of the crime yet being unable to apprehend the culprit.

This particular feeling was intensely dissatisfying for her.

"Hold on, let me ponder this," Ye Chen reassured Zhou Susu.

Ye Chen recognized that this case presented unique difficulties compared to his previous encounters, primarily due to the perpetrator's escape to a foreign country, making their repatriation a substantial hurdle.

Just as both were immersed in their predicament, Zhou Susu's phone began to ring.

Already feeling exasperated, the sound of the ringtone amplified her annoyance, further souring her mood.

Zhou Susu had initially intended to ignore the call, especially given the recent flood of scam calls, whose methods she found remarkably unsophisticated.

Lacking any finesse, she truly couldn't be bothered to answer and waste her valuable time.

"Susu, why aren’t you answering your phone?" Ye Chen asked, looking at Zhou Susu with a puzzled expression.

"I won't answer it; it's undoubtedly another scam call," Zhou Susu replied irritably.

The phone ceased ringing for a brief interval before resuming its call.

Zhou Susu questioned the persistent nature of this particular scammer. Since they were so determined, she decided she might as well confront them directly.

She glanced at the incoming number, answered the call, but remained silent, choosing instead to listen to the conversation unfolding.

At this moment, a look of delight dawned upon her face.

Ye Chen observed the smile spreading across her face, a flicker of confusion crossing his mind as he wondered why she appeared so cheerful while conversing with a presumed scammer.

Just as these thoughts occupied him, Zhou Susu, with a smile, said, "Alright, alright, we’ll discuss it when we meet. Contact me upon your arrival."

Zhou Susu's words only deepened Ye Chen's bewilderment, as she was arranging a meeting with someone she believed to be a scammer.

After ending the call, and before Ye Chen could voice his questions, Zhou Susu cheerfully remarked, "Ye Chen, this is truly a case of 'speak of the devil, and he shall appear.'"

"What devil are you referring to?" Ye Chen asked, completely perplexed.

He found Zhou Susu's pronouncements full of riddles, rendering them utterly incomprehensible.

"You are being silly. Wasn't it just Little Jing's aunt we were discussing? That was her on the phone just now." Zhou Susu exclaimed with excitement.

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Chen inquired.

"Of course! Why would I deceive you? She mentioned returning to the country tomorrow and arranged a meeting with me, also asking me to bring Little Jing along," Zhou Susu recounted the phone conversation to Ye Chen.

"Hmm, that is good news. You can meet her then and observe her reaction," Ye Chen commented.

"Yes, I intend to see what schemes this woman is plotting. Whatever she attempts, I will apprehend her and compel her to confess and atone for her transgressions," Zhou Susu declared with a resolute expression.

Ye Chen recognized Zhou Susu's strong sense of justice and her commitment as a police officer to apprehending culprits.

However, he also perceived her as somewhat naive, believing that a woman capable of murdering her own sister would not be easily subdued.

The upcoming encounter between them would likely not be a smooth one.

"Very well, the issue is settled. Little Jing's aunt will be back tomorrow. You should relax a little and cease being so tense; it's easy to encounter problems that way," Ye Chen reassured Zhou Susu.

He then added, "Let's go get something to eat; we've been occupied all day."

"No, Ye Chen, please go ahead and eat. I am not feeling hungry and need to contemplate my strategy for the meeting with her tomorrow," Zhou Susu replied, waving her hand.

Observing her unwavering determination, Ye Chen understood he could not dissuade her and departed alone.

He recognized that the meeting between Zhou Susu and Little Jing's aunt the following day would be a confrontation; it was highly improbable this woman would confess readily.

Consequently, Ye Chen determined that further measures would be necessary to genuinely elicit a confession from her.

Nevertheless, he chose not to disclose this to Zhou Susu.
