96: What a ridiculous incident!

For Su Yue, today was another ordinary day.

Ordinary work, ordinary off-duty, life passed without much excitement.

Just like all the office workers in this city.

As usual, he returned home at 6:30 PM, and as usual, Lin Jia wasn't there.

Lin Jia rarely came home at normal times; after all, the nature of her job meant her working hours were not fixed.

And lately, she seemed very busy, so busy that the last time he told her to investigate why the smuggling group might be targeting her, there had been no follow-up.

Su Yue wasn't surprised by this. Lin Jia was actually a very independent and self-reliant girl. For her, being targeted by a smuggling group was her own business, and within the scope of what she could handle, she preferred to rely on her own strength to solve it. Only in areas where she was truly powerless would she ask for help from a professional.

Moreover, she had always been wary of the so-called Deep Abyss Organization; this could only change slowly over time.

Presumably, Lin Jia was quietly working on something big right now, preparing to give him a surprise, Su Yue secretly guessed.

Because if Lin Jia truly couldn't find any direction at all, she wouldn't be stubborn either, but would immediately determine that it was beyond her capabilities and contact him.

Only when she had indeed discovered something and made progress would she try to investigate it herself.

This was the so-called wisdom.

After so many days had passed, Su Yue estimated that Lin Jia should also be getting results soon.

He was tired of eating takeout for consecutive days. Su Yue started cooking for himself.

Although his own crisis had not been resolved, life still had to go on. After all, in terms of strength comparison, even with an Intelligence Outpost, Su Yue was still the weaker party compared to a criminal smuggling group.

He could only do his best to do what he could; for the rest, he could only assess the situation and adapt accordingly.

When the meal was ready, his phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Lan Zijun.

Su Yue wasn't surprised by this at all. He leisurely finished his meal before heading into the basement.

As expected, the message on his phone was from Lan Zijun, about the results of Liang Yuzhu's investigation at the Second Peoples Hospital.

"Abyss, my friend has finished investigating that report."

"Su Meili went to the hospital alone for the test and presented a diagnosis report stating her father was a hemophilia patient."

"However, her father is already deceased, and the doctor actually didn't believe Su Meili's father truly had hemophilia, but performed the test for her according to the law."

"Now my friend is asking you to provide her with the intelligence as agreed upon. Also, she needs a way to contact you. She said, don't worry, she won't arrest you."

Su Yue carefully read the message on his phone, his brow furrowing slightly.

Su Yue didn't actually care about being arrested or not. After all, so far, he hadn't committed any crimes, nor did he plan to use his Intelligence Outpost for illegal activities.

Of course, prying into others' privacy was itself on the edge of illegality. But illegal didn't equal criminal.

Laws, in terms of sentencing, look at the harm to society. It's like running a red light, which is indeed an illegal act.

But if it doesn't cause a car accident, like running one late at night when no one is around, not affecting anyone or endangering anyone's safety, then it doesn't involve compensation or prosecution issues, and naturally, there's no social harm, so it's not considered a crime. The Police Officer will only issue a warning and deduct points; this kind of penalty is an administrative penalty.

If running a red light results in a car accident, then it will be a criminal detention, which is a crime.

The reason he hadn't given Liang Yuzhu contact information was that he was actually hesitant yesterday.

After all, the other party was a Police Officer, and she possessed investigative capabilities and methods far superior to Lan Zijun and Lin Jia.

Su Yue's phone wasn't registered under his real name. Even if Lan Zijun and Lin Jia knew this, they would only be a little surprised, thinking that Abyss had channels and methods they didn't know about. But in Liang Yuzhu's eyes, she would very likely try to find ways to solve this problem.

She could check the communication operator's records. Even if she couldn't find Su Yue, she could very likely find Li Haoyang and Lin Jia through call records.

Of course, that was just a possibility.

And clearly, Liang Yuzhu was someone who held grudges. Su Yue believed she had always been bothered by him playing tricks on her.

As for her not arresting him, Su Yue believed this would definitely be the case before she caught the criminal smuggling group. But after that, it was hard to say. After all, Liang Yuzhu was also a beautiful woman, naturally gifted at lying.

However, Liang Yuzhu's identity as a Police Officer allowed her to do many things that were inconvenient for Su Yue, such as investigating the details of this report at the hospital.

It wasn't that Su Yue couldn't do such things, but it would take him a lot more effort, and it certainly wasn't as convenient and quick as Liang Yuzhu.

Therefore, Liang Yuzhu was actually a double-edged sword.

However, Su Yue had already decided to establish a communication channel with Liang Yuzhu; overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

At worst, he would just be a little more careful.

Having secretly made up his mind, Su Yue casually sent a message to Lan Zijun, asking her to send him Liang Yuzhu's phone number, and then immediately refocused his attention on the information itself.

He roughly knew what hemophilia was because he had researched information about this disease when he previously looked up various genetic diseases.

This disease indeed had the characteristic of skipping generations, and the incidence rate in males was much higher than in females. Therefore, it was indeed one of the genetic diseases specified by the state for which fetal sex testing could be performed.

However, the state actually advised hemophilia patients to terminate their pregnancies directly, it just wasn't enforced like leprosy or mental illness.

However, the key point was here.

The result of Su Meili's test was a male infant.

If her father truly had hemophilia, according to the inheritance pattern of hemophilia, her son would be highly likely to have hemophilia.

Then, normally, Su Meili would definitely choose to abort the child.

Even if she couldn't make up her mind immediately, she would at least get herself tested to check if she carried the hemophilia gene.

However, Su Meili didn't do any of these things.

This was the suspicious point. Su Yue's conclusion was consistent with the doctor's opinion: Su Meili did not actually have hemophilia.

So what was the reason for her doing this?

Ordinary people might think that Su Meili exploited a legal loophole, used her wealth advantage to play a trick of privilege, and performed a fetal sex test that was prohibited by the state.

But in Su Yue's view, things were not that simple.

Psychology tells us that anyone doing anything must have a motive. And everyone's behavior actually has its own behavioral pattern.

Wang Hai was a very low-key person. Su Yue had seen a lot of news about his younger brother Wang Lin online, but rarely about Wang Hai.

Even when he appeared in the news, Wang Hai was attending meetings organized by the government, which were official matters.

In short, Wang Hai was very much in line with people's imagination of a future heir of a group: he was low-key, always presenting himself in a professional and positive role.

Including his wife, Su Meili, she was also low-key, so much so that many people didn't even know of her existence. Including Su Yue, he didn't even have a photo of Su Meili on hand.

Would such a woman, from a low-key family background and who was also low-key herself, take such a high-profile approach as directly going to the Second Peoples Hospital for testing if she wanted to risk testing the fetal sex?

If this doctor hadn't had good medical ethics and hadn't spread the news, the matter of the Kelly Investment heir secretly testing the fetal sex would have probably spread like wildfire. Could Su Meili not have thought of this possibility?

Even if she had this need, she only needed to get on a plane, and in three hours, she could reach Hong Kong Island and legally complete the test directly. With her status, could she not do that?

Moreover, the most crucial point was that the state had now opened up the three-child policy, and overpopulation was actually no longer subject to much penalty.

And testing fetal sex was actually just an act that some relatively feudal people under the previous one-child policy had to risk to ensure they had a son to carry on the family line.

That is to say, current fetal sex testing has actually returned to its essence, which is purely for medical genetic disease considerations. This is why sex testing has always been legal in Hong Kong Island and even abroad, but there has been no gender imbalance.

So why did Su Meili want to do a fetal sex test?

Even if she did, why would she take the risk of doing it locally?

Furthermore, normally, for this kind of fetal genetic disease testing, couples usually come together. Why was Su Meili alone?

Was it because Wang Hai was busy with work?

No, no matter how busy Wang Hai was with work, he would definitely make time for his wife's prenatal check-ups, especially for a sex test due to a genetic disease.

Because once there is a probability of inheritance, the doctor is very likely to suggest or even mandate the termination of the pregnancy. At this time, both husband and wife definitely need to be present to make the decision together.

So the most reasonable explanation is actually that Su Meili's action this time was her own private decision, and Wang Hai was unaware.

It was precisely because Wang Hai was not involved in this matter that this matter left a loophole.

Because the person Su Meili was hiding it from was none other than her own husband.

As for why Su Meili would hide it from her husband…

Su Yue sighed.

He actually had this kind of speculation early on, but he had never had evidence before, and this story, to be honest, was a bit outrageous, making him reluctant to think in this direction.

But now, the more likely directions had been ruled out, so the direction he was reluctant to think about before had actually become the most likely direction.

To put it bluntly, he had always suspected that this was an extremely melodramatic incident.

Wang Lin, Wang Hai's younger brother, was having an affair with Su Meili!
