Hegel's Confession Volume 1 Chapter 20

Chapter 20 The Heartbreaker and The Mistress "Ji Fengjun was my ex-girlfriend, but we broke up half a year ago. I don’t know what you want to know." Saying it straight to the point, Lin Hao seemed to have a clear conscience. I asked him if they were still in touch, because we needed to find Ji Fengjun. However, Lin Hao shook his head and said they didn’t stay in contact with each other after breaking up, and he speculated that the phone number she used before had been changed already. In fact, I knew that without him saying so, because the landlord once provided me with Ji Fengjun’s contact number. But it turned out to be a dead number. "What happened to her?" Inexplicable emotions flashed in Lin Hao's eyes, and he realized something was wrong. I shook my head slowly and said, "No, she was fine. There's just a case that needs her cooperation. Could you tell me why you broke up?" Hearing this, Lin Hao's expression changed obviously. Before he answered, the door to the office was pushed open. I was sure that the woman had not knocked on the door, but had come straight in. Lin Hao was a company executive, and normally, people needed to knock politely on the door before they could come in; this was the rule. Therefore, when I saw that it was a beautiful woman, I was pretty sure that this woman had a different relations.h.i.+p with Lin Hao. "What’s the matter, dear? I heard cops come here." The woman spoke as her eyes pa.s.sed over us. It seemed obvious that she didn't care about us at all. "Nothing. They just come to investigate something," Lin Hao responded with a good and even a little humble att.i.tude. The woman looked at us coldly and said, "What do you want to investigate? Why don't you say it and see if I know anything? " Lin Hao shook his head without thinking and said, "You can go out to take a break, and we'll end the conversation soon." Apparently, he didn't want this woman to know anything about Ji Fengjun. I looked at them with great interest, and there were a few guesses in my mind. Perhaps the reason why Ji Fengjun and Lin Hao broke up was related to this woman. On the other hand, the woman's clothes and jewelry were expensive, so this was a woman from a good family. "What? Is there anything you're not telling me?" The woman suddenly raised her eyebrows and her eyes were full of displeasure. The smile on Lin Hao's face disappeared instantly, and his expression became very unnatural. "Of course not." I slowly went back to my thoughts and looked at her meaningfully. "We came here to inquire of him about Ji Fengjun. Do you know her?" As I said this, the woman's face turned clouded suddenly, and she said, "We have nothing to do with her, so please leave now." Looking at her att.i.tude, I thought the affair interesting. It seemed that the situation would be similar to my guess. Soon Chu Haoran changed his sitting posture, and said, "Now she is involved in a case, which needs Lin Hao to cooperate. I guess you don't want to be guilty of obstructing officers on duty!" "Don't intimidate me! What's the big deal with the police? You'd better get out, or I'll call the security." The woman didn't give in, and her eyes were filled with inexplicable emotions. We didn’t move in the face of her threats, and finally, Lin Hao comforted her to not be angry. Then he pulled her out, saying he would take care of it soon.   The woman left reluctantly. Lin Hao came back, sighed, and said, "What do you want to know? I don't have much time. " "Why did you and Ji Fengjun break up? When was your last contact?" I looked down, ready to make a record. However, Lin Hao was a little impatient. "I have already told you that we were not in touch anymore after we broke up. As for the reason of our break up, does this have anything to do with what you're investigating?" Seeing his reaction, Chu Haoran stood up and said indifferently, "If you don't want to get more trouble, then don't waste everyone's time. Unless, you are guilty of something and you dare not tell us." Perhaps realizing that we were the police, Lin Hao finally gave in. According to his story, he and Ji Fengjun broke up about six months ago, and they actually had a rough time before they departed. Because he had fallen in love with somebody else, Ji Fengjun had a lot of fights with him. But he didn't lie, either, they indeed hadn't contacted each other after they broke up.   As a matter of fact, he and Ji Fengjun fell in love with each other at the university and they had a very good relations.h.i.+p at that time. Because he wanted to come to this city, Ji Fengjun accompanied him without hesitation. Coming here from another place, they had more expenses than others did. Alas, they had neither money nor background and could only live in the suburbs where the rent was low. They had to get up at five o'clock in the morning every day to arrived at the company after more than two hours’ drive. Their feelings for each other went away in the midst of the hard life and busy work. Because they didn't have any work experience, they needed to start at the bottom, and neither of them earned much. At first, their relations.h.i.+p was actually good. They were both busy, but they had the same dream. But then, a few months later, something happened. Lin Hao had helped a woman by accident at the company. He didn't know this girl was the daughter of the chairman. In fact, Ji Fengjun was very beautiful, and seemed somewhat otherworldly. Nevertheless, Lin Hao still failed to hold his original intentions because he desired to lead a good life too much.   It would take countless years to become a manager if he started at the bottom. After he felt that the chairman's daughter had a crush on him, he chose power and influence, and abandoned love after he had gone through his inner struggle. Although he felt sorry for Ji Fengjun, he still lost himself in the face of power and influence. In this way, he unwittingly had an intimate relations.h.i.+p with the daughter of the chairman, and a distant relations.h.i.+p with Ji Fengjun. After getting drunk once, Lin Hao had s.e.x with the daughter of the chairman and finally determined their relations.h.i.+p. He could only confess the whole thing to Ji Fengjun. He thought she could be considerate of him, and at least she would think of his future initially. After all, as a man, he always wanted to make a difference. But he didn't expect Ji Fengjun to act so crazy after knowing about it. She cried and shouted that he had no conscience. She even planned to go to the company to make trouble. All sorts of circ.u.mstances made Lin Hao lose his ultimate guilt, and he just thought Ji Fengjun was being completely unreasonable. After knowing the whole story, Lin Hao was just like a nasty beast in my heart. I didn't know how he could say it in a high-sounding way that let Ji Fengjun consider for him. That was ridiculous! This kind of man was truly hateful! The matter was indeed clear: Lin Hao fell afoul of Ji Fengjun. Ji Fengjun even had a big quarrel with the daughter of the chairman, and that was why the woman got angry after hearing the name of Ji Fengjun. But then again, one of them was a heartbreaker and the other was a mistress. However, they stood here with great honor and judged the victim, Ji Fengjun, heinously. I didn't know how dark these two people could be. Thinking about this, I suddenly frowned. Heartbreaker? That's right, Lin Hao was a heartbreaker. For the sake of power and influence, he dumped his girlfriend who had been with him through thick and thin for many years. He even cut her off completely. However, the four missing and her situation were very similar, and it seemed that the motive for the crimes of the suspect Ji Fengjun was clear. . .
