Chapter 202: Growing Apart

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yin Tao’s thoughts were actually similar to Feng Jing’s, but she didn’t show it. Moreover, Liang Yi’s character didn’t appear in the original novel. Yin Tao felt that this case should be done by the same person as Wei Feng’s case.

“I’m going to see Cheng Fei this weekend. This was arranged some time ago.

This time, I will try to see if I can ask about Liang Yi.” Yin Tao felt that Cheng Fei must know about Liang Yi and she could definitely get some clues from him.

Feng Jing didn’t stop her. He thought for a moment and asked Yin Tao, “Why don’t I go with you? I have seen Cheng Fei and Cheng Yao. It shouldn’t arouse any suspicion if we go together.”

“It’s fine. I’ll go by myself. I’ll contact you immediately if anything happens. ‘ Yin Tao felt that it was better for her to be alone. Although it’s not immediately obvious that Feng Jing was a police officer, his mannerism and aura was still quite distinctive.

Feng Jing didn’t insist any further. He instructed Yin Tao to take note of her personal safety before leaving with the report she had given him.

As Yin Tao watched Feng Jing leaving, she realized that he seemed to have distanced himself from her at some point in time. Sometimes, he even deliberately avoided her.

“Have I offended him in any way…” Yin Tao muttered softly. She felt that Feng Jing’s attitude towards her was very strange, but she couldn’t quite put a finger on it.

Just as Yin Tao was wondering if anything unpleasant had happened between her and Feng Jing recently, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

“Dad, what’s the matter?” Yin Tao was a little taken aback when she saw Yin Dong’s caller ID and answered the call.

“Nothing.” Yin Dong sounded a little tired. ‘Xiaotao, if you’re free tonight, come home for dinner. Your brother is coming home today too. Let’s get together as a family. Ah Hao has been extremely busy recently.”

Yin Tao hesitated in her heart. She parted with Zhao Yue and Yin Ning on bad terms the previous time, so she wasn’t keen on seeing them at all. However, when she heard Yin Dong’s low voice on the phone, Yin Tao agreed. After all, her father and brother had treated her quite well, and Yin Tao didn’t want to be too distant from them.

After ending the call, Yin Tao quietly thought to herself that if Zhao Yue and Yin Ning found trouble with her again, she could just leave. Anyway, the conflict between them had been going on for some time already. Yin Tao wasn’t afraid of offending them again.

Seeing that it was still early, Yin Tao returned to the autopsy lab to help. She only reluctantly changed and took a taxi to the Yin villa when Su Ning also got off work and left for home.

Yin Tao felt frustrated on the journey to the Yin villa. It seemed that her interaction tonight with Zhao Yue and the others tonight was bound to be unpleasant.

As soon as she entered the house, Yin Tao knew where this bad premonition came from.

“Xiaotao, come here quickly.” Zhao Yue invited Yin Tao into the house with exceptional enthusiasm. The hall on the first floor was very lively, and Yin Tao saw many unfamiliar faces.

Yin Tao didn’t show any obvious emotions as she followed behind Zhao Yue silently.

“This is Xiaotao. It’s been so many years since we last met. This child is growing to be more and more beautiful.”

She turned and saw a woman about Zhao Yue’s age carefully sizing her up with her shrewd and scheming eyes.

Yin Tao frowned slightly. Only then did she realize that there were many women around Zhao Yue’s age in the house. They appeared to be Zhao Yue’s friends.

Yin Tao merely smiled at them and had no intention of saying anything. She immediately walked towards Yin Hao when she finally spotted him.

When Zhao Yue saw Yin Tao leave without looking back, she felt a little embarrassed. But there was nothing much she could do in the presence of her friends. It wasn’t appropriate for her to fall out with Yin Tao in front of them.

“Brother.” Yin Hao smiled bitterly when he saw Yin Tao’s depressed look and brought her to the backyard where there were no outsiders.

“You were called home by Mom and Dad too.”

Seeing that Yin Hao wasn’t too happy either, Yin Tao asked, “Brother, who are these people in the house?”

“They’re all neighbors and friends. Don’t take it to heart. I also only found out when I came back Mom called all her friends over. She’s always been keen to organize such events.”

Worried that Yin Tao would be unhappy, Yin Hao explained to her, “You don’t have to talk to them. I’ll send you back straight after dinner.”

Yin Tao nodded. She could still relax a little with Yin Hao around. Just as the two of them were about to return to the hall, Yin Tao saw a face that she dreaded to see.

“Xiaotao, we meet again. Looks like we are destined to meet..”
