Chapter 817 Investigating Lucy's Father's Infidelity
Lucy felt that there must be something fishy about her father not calling her for a long time to ask about Mianmian. She originally wanted to go back to her hometown, but Zhou Chen stopped her.
Sigh, things aren't clear yet. You're heavily pregnant, so it's best not to travel back and forth. Zhou Chen decided to make the trip for Lucy and tell her the truth after he had investigated the matter.
Zhou Chen set off the next day, but he didn't go directly to Lucy's house. Instead, he disguised himself first.
The disguise skills he gained from winning over Yu Feixue finally came in handy at this moment. He adopted a hip-hop style for himself, so that if Zhou Chen walked past Lucy's father, he might not even recognize Zhou Chen, because the difference in temperament was just too great.
Why did Zhou Chen present such an honest and dull image in front of Lucy's father?
Lucy's father would never imagine that the person dressed like Zhou Chen is the same person. At this moment, Zhou Chen is wearing a bomber jacket, ripped jeans, a big gold chain around his neck, and sunglasses to cover his appearance. This outfit makes him look like a street dancer.
Even if he were following Lucy's father based on his attire, the other party wouldn't suspect anything, since their destination was the same place: the large square where people often dance.
After get off work, Lucy's father went straight to this place. Zhou Chen, who was following him, quickly saw what he wanted to see. Lucy's father had indeed waited for a woman.
The two exchanged a brief greeting, then immediately embraced and jumped up and down in the square.
On the surface, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but they were chatting and laughing, and Lucy's father didn't look like he had just lost his wife. There was definitely something wrong here.
Zhou Chen walked to the side, took out his phone, and secretly took a few photos. In order to get a clear shot of his face without arousing suspicion, he even moved closer to the camera. Then he asked someone to help him film a video of himself dancing.
Of course, this action definitely included Lucy's father and that woman in the footage.
Next, Zhou Chen found a place to rest, and then intentionally or unintentionally approached the group of elderly women dancing in the square to inquire about their situation.
While praising Lucy's father and the woman for their dancing, he subtly inquired whether they were regulars here and whether they had been dancing together for a long time.
Haha, Zhou Chen didn't come away empty-handed. It turns out that Lucy's father and that woman had been in cahoots while Lucy's mother was pregnant. Lucy's father may have really cheated on her while Lucy's mother was pregnant.
However, he hid it very well, and Lucy's mother didn't find out. Now that Lucy's mother has passed away, there's no need to hide their relationship anymore.
No wonder they were able to hook up so quickly. Could there be something fishy about Lucy's mother dying from postpartum hemorrhage?
Zhou Chen didn't dare to imagine it, nor did he want to investigate, because if it were true, it would be too much of a blow to Lucy. It was better not to upset Lucy at this time.
After the square dancing ended, Lucy's father actually took the woman home with him. This scene left Zhou Chen speechless. Could the two of them be living together?
If so, Zhou Chen immediately wanted to find evidence of their affair so that when Lucy wanted to divide the inheritance with her father, she would have leverage over the other party and perhaps be able to get a larger share.
Of course, Zhou Chen wasn't after Lucy's father's money; he just didn't want him to live too comfortably. You've already cheated on him and had a mistress, and you still expect to live a good life? Why should you?
Zhou Chen had another idea in mind, and then he thought of the surveillance footage near the square dance area earlier. Perhaps he could start from there.
If we push the surveillance footage back further, and can prove that Lucy and her mother were having an affair before Lucy's mother passed away, it should be enough to fool Lucy's father.
Zhou Chen acted immediately, and the next day he was busy with this matter. Soon he had thoroughly investigated the two of them. Just as Zhou Chen was hesitating whether to report to Lucy, Lucy called him herself.
"Zhou Chen, how's it going? Have you gotten any results from your investigation?"
What has my dad been up to lately? Has he really started seeing another woman?
Faced with Lucy's question, Zhou Chen decided to answer truthfully, because if they waited until they got married, it would probably be difficult to get a share of Lucy's mother's inheritance.
Because it will be unclear what constitutes Lucy's mother's inheritance and what constitutes her father's and new wife's joint property; even a lawsuit might not be able to clarify the matter.
"Lucy, I've investigated the matter thoroughly, but you should be prepared that things might not go as you expect."
I'll send you some photos. On my first day here, I saw your dad and a woman dancing in the square. They looked very intimate.
Besides, your dad is really charming. The other woman is named Luo Fang, and she's ten years younger than your dad. I really don't know how the two of them got together.
Last night I waited downstairs at your building for a long time but didn't see the woman come out. I'm afraid the two of you have been living together for a while now.
I suspect it's not love at all, it's mostly about money, Lucy. If you really want a share of the inheritance, you'd better hurry.
After all, if they wait until they get married, everything will be unclear. Who can say for sure which of your father's assets are his and which are that woman's?
Upon hearing Zhou Chen's investigation results, Lucy was speechless. She never expected that her worries would come true. Her father had found a new woman so quickly. How could he face her deceased mother?
"Since my dad has done something so shameless, I don't need to show him any mercy. I'll go back tomorrow."
I want to take back everything that belongs to my mother; they won't take a single penny of her money.
Lucy became emotional immediately. She was truly indignant for her mother, who had died giving birth to her father's child, only for him to turn around and find a new lover. He was such a scoundrel.
"Wait a minute, since my dad did something so shameless, could it be that he had already cheated on me before my mom passed away? After all, how could a man resist when a woman is pregnant for ten months? It's possible that he cheated on me behind my mom's back?"
Lucy analyzed softly, and Zhou Chen nodded and replied, "Lucy, your analysis makes a lot of sense. According to my investigation, they were indeed hooking up before."
According to the surveillance footage I found, they were seen hugging and cuddling three months ago. I don't know about any other intimate behavior, but that's enough to prove the problem.
Lucy, my opinion is that you shouldn't come over. You should just find a lawyer to handle this matter and let me represent you in talking to your dad.
If you come back, you'll definitely argue with your dad, and getting too agitated won't be good for your health.
Don't worry, I will handle this matter well and I will absolutely not let your father gain any advantage.
Zhou Chen's words silenced Lucy. She really wanted to go back and question her father about why he did such a thing. How could he do this to her mother?
But Lucy also knew Zhou Chen's intentions. After all, he was her father. If the father and daughter had a falling out, it would not be good for Lucy's reputation. So let Zhou Chen be the bad guy.
Moreover, now that she was pregnant, it was understandable that Zhou Chen was worried about her safety. After hesitating for a moment, Lucy ultimately chose to trust Zhou Chen and leave it to him to handle.
