"Zi Zi wouldn't kill herself, she was harmed by someone..."
"I'm telling the truth, why doesn't anyone believe me..."
After returning from the cemetery, Zhao Yafen was still acting strangely.
He Yunting thought she was out of her mind and impatiently shook off her hand. "The doctor said it was suicide, how many times do you want me to explain? She couldn't take it herself, who can she blame? Stop being unreasonable!"
It was already more than enough to come back for Zhou Yingzi's funeral, what else did she want him to do!
Zhang Lan glanced at He Yunting indifferently and stepped forward to help Zhao Yafen sit on the sofa. "I believe what you said. Zi Zi wouldn't choose to commit suicide for no reason, she must have had some hidden pain."
Seeing that someone finally believed her, Zhao Yafen's eyes lit up. "You really believe me?"
"Zi Zi came to see me a few days ago, and I advised her to break up with Luo Fei, but she didn't agree." Zhang Lan sighed and said. "At that time, she was quite normal, like a little girl in love..."
"Yes, she said she'd get married after Dr. Luo got divorced. She would never end her life so easily..." Zhao Yafen became even more convinced that her daughter's death was suspicious.
"I don't approve of them being together. That Luo fellow is no good." Zhang Lan pushed some information she had found to Zhao Yafen. "Take a good look at this."
When Zhao Yafen learned that Luo Fei was married, she had also forced Zhou Yingzi to break up with him. However, she couldn't withstand Zhou Yingzi's tears, tantrums, and threats to hang herself, so she had to change her strategy and actively support her.
Moreover, Luo Fei had promised to divorce and marry Zhou Yingzi, so Zhao Yafen had turned a blind eye.
Zhao Yafen had met Luo Fei and thought that someone who could open a psychological counseling studio in a prime location must have some financial backing. Coupled with the popularity of the profession of a psychologist, it sounded good. In the future, Zhou Yingzi would have a decent life with him. Although not a wealthy family, at least she wouldn't lack food and clothing.
Luo Fei was good-looking and gave a good first impression.
Those who were deceived by his appearance often met a bad end.
Zhao Yafen picked up the stack of information with doubt and fear as she read on. "He, he really had improper relationships with so many people?"
"This is just a minor issue, look further down." Zhang Lan calmly took a sip of tea.
Zhao Yafen's gaze returned to the documents, her trembling hands flipping through them page by page. When she saw the information that several women had committed suicide because of Luo Fei, Zhao Yafen covered her mouth in shock.
"Where, where did all this come from..."
"I took some effort and asked my colleagues at the hospital to help collect it." Zhang Lan had been a doctor for so many years and had connections. Although Luo Fei had spent money to suppress the incidents, walls have ears. Hospital rescue records could not be erased.
And the families who lost their daughters still had a thorn in their hearts. A little provocation would make them spill everything.
Listening to their tearful accounts, Zhang Lan increasingly felt that this Luo Fei was problematic.
Such a scoundrel should be sent to prison!
To seek justice for her niece, Zhang Lan intended to investigate the matter thoroughly and make sure that this wicked man Luo Fei received the punishment he deserved.
"So, Zi Zi might have been hypnotized by him?"
"Think carefully, did she do anything unusual when she came back last night?" Zhang Lan reminded her.
Zhao Yafen put down the things in her hands and tried hard to recall. "She seemed normal, just a bit tired. She barely ate dinner and went to sleep..."
"When she spoke to you, did she look you in the eye?" Zhang Lan asked again.
"I didn't pay attention to that..." Zhao Yafen became a little anxious. She stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, even hitting her head, trying to remember something. "Ah, right, Jingyang installed a camera in the house a few days ago. I don't know if it captured anything."
As she spoke, she opened her phone app and pulled up the surveillance footage from the previous night.
Zhang Lan took her phone and studied it carefully.
As she had expected, Zhou Yingzi's eyes were dull, and her speech was stiff. She looked like she had a serious illness, completely devoid of vitality. She was completely different from the person she had seen that day.
Moreover, when Zhao Yafen spoke to her later, she seemed not to hear, walking past her directly into the room.
This state was reminiscent of how she had been after being violated.
Something was very wrong.
"How is it?" Zhao Yafen asked nervously.
"She was hypnotized." Zhang Lan's expression was grim. As a doctor, she was more sensitive than most. Her previous suspicions had become a reality, filling her with inexplicable anger and heartache.
Zhou Yingzi had already suffered enough, only to encounter such a beast worse than pigs and dogs, paying the price with her life.
She was only in her twenties, with a bright future ahead of her.
As her aunt, Zhang Lan could not let this go.
"Hypnotized?" Zhao Yafen obviously hadn't expected this.
"Yes. Luo Fei studied psychology and can use certain methods to give psychological suggestions to people. I suspect he targeted Ying Zi early on and controlled her from the very beginning of her treatment."
Of course, these were all Zhang Lan's speculations.
"Think back carefully, when did she start showing symptoms of being in love?"
Zhao Yafen's face turned pale, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. "It was, not long after she started therapy... I knew it, she only went a few times, and the effect was so immediate. So it was..."
"This man is too wicked!"
Zhao Yafen's blood boiled with anger, and she wished she could rush out and confront Luo Fei immediately. "He killed my daughter, I'll fight him!"
Zhang Lan was much calmer and grabbed her. "If you go there like this, he'll definitely deny everything. Moreover, even if you stab him, you won't bring Ying Zi back, and you'll get yourself into trouble! We need to plan this carefully."
"I can't wait! Thinking of Ying Zi lying in a pool of blood, I can't stay calm." Zhao Yafen was somewhat harsh and selfish, but her love for her children was genuine.
"I am as grieved by Ying Zi's death as you are. What we need to do is bring him to justice and let him face legal consequences. Then we'll expose his evil deeds to the media and alert the public."
"Wouldn't that be letting him off too easily?" Zhao Yafen felt this method of revenge was not satisfying enough.
She wanted Luo Fei to wish he were dead!
"For some people, killing them is letting them off easy! For someone like Luo Fei who seeks fame and reputation, ruining his reputation is the best outcome." Zhang Lan held her hand and took great effort to calm her down.
