Chapter 337: 337
On May 27th, Chen Shi felt that his body had already broken his smoking addiction . Of course, there was still his heart’s addiction towards it . He was happy without smoking . His nose felt like it wasn’t as blocked and food smelled more fragrant to him . His lungs didn’t feel like they were stuffed with cotton like they used to .
Chen Shi had been smoking since high school, meaning he had been smoking for almost two decades . He still needed more motivation to quit completely .
Lin Dongxue would give Chen Shi a box of mints or extra chewing gum whenever she saw him, which helped him relieve his anxiety when there was nothing in his mouth . When the two were hiding out in the car intimately, Lin Dongxue sniffed the scent on him and said, “You smell so much better now . I don't understand why the smell of tobacco is attractive to some people . ”
Chen Shi poked her forehead and joked, “You care about my health so much . Do you want to marry me?”
“Uh . . . ” Lin Dongxue's cheeks flushed red . “You're progressing too fast! Didn't you say last time that you still owe me a formal confession?”
“You’re right . I’ll have to prepare for that . ”
“Be sure to make it engraved in my heart . Otherwise I won't agree to it . ” Lin Dongxue held Chen Shi's ears with both hands and smiled charmingly . Nourished by love, she was as beautiful as an angel in Chen Shi’s eyes, but sometimes she was like a child .
The case was still under investigation . Zheng Guohao had very poor interpersonal relationships . He had a lot of friends around him, but they were mostly just trying to win his favor . When they heard that he was dead, these people said, “I was only acquainted with Zheng Guohao!”
The people around him basically all knew about this detestable hobby of his . His shameless hobby for young girls was almost wild . In order to satisfy his desires, he would go to the parents who owe him huge loans or addicted to drugs and use money to trade for their daughter’s relationship with him .
Women who knew of his background were unwilling to talk to him about marriage, so he had been single this whole time . He even had the idea of using an orphanage and wanted to adopt a daughter . However, the orphanage didn’t approve his adoption application .
Today, Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue met with a school counselor . According to investigations, Zheng Guohao also touched an underage female student from this school . The school kept silent about this incident . They made rounds of phone calls before they found someone who was willing to disclose some information .
During the meeting, the female counselor said, “I haven't directly seen the Zheng Guohao you talked about . About ten years ago, a girl named Yi Qing in our school was sexually assaulted by an adult . I think it might be related to this person . ”
Lin Dongxue asked . “What is Yi Qing's family situation like?”
“She was from a single-parent family living with her father . Her father was an athlete that participated in provincial competitions . He almost entered the national team . Later, after being injured in training, he retired and started a small business . I don’t know if talking about this is appropriate . . . According to Yi Qing, when her father and mother were married, her father was not at home because of training every day and her mother was born very beautiful . The father suspected that Yi Qing's mother was having an affair . Yi Qing was a premature child . Her father even suspected that she was not his own child . Coupled with the failure of his sports career, he changed from an admired athlete to a grocery store owner that vented his anger out on his wife . ”
“Domestic violence?”
“It's not the direct kind of physical domestic violence . It was emotional . In addition to verbal insults, he also hung a basketball with his wife's name on the balcony . He punched and kicked the basketball every day, and cursed Yi Qing's mother to death . After living under this kind of mental stress for six years, Yi Qing's mother died in a car accident . Although the police concluded that it was a traffic accident,I think it was related to the long-term mental pressure she felt . After that, the father and the daughter depended on each other, and the father’s anger was passed onto Yi Qing . ”
“Why not do a paternity test then?” Chen Shi asked .
