Chapter 31 Lacked Vitality

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zijian was so exhilarated that he almost laughed out loud.

His work experience told him that there must be a problem. It seemed that he had finally found the breakthrough point. As long as he continued to investigate Lin Wan’s family, he may be able to find the evidence of Lin Wan’s infidelity.

Zhou Zijian immediately decided to change the direction of the investigation. He would temporarily forget about Lin wan and shift the focus of the investigation to Lin Wan’s family.

After making this decision, he couldn’t help but admire He Xiaoyu.

He Xiaoyu had told him repeatedly that Lin Wan’s parents were very suspicious and he should pay more attention to her family. It seemed that the girl was very prescient.

At the next intersection, Zhou Zijian turned the car around and drove toward the airport.

He picked up Su on the way and then sped up the car. After violating several traffic rules, he finally caught up with the targeted car under Han’s tips.

...

“Number one!” a female nurse called out.

No one responded to her call.

“Is patient number one here?” The nurse raised her voice slightly and called out several times again. However, no one responded to her.

The nurse grumbled, “Why can’t these people just sit down and wait? Why do they have to walk away?”

Despite the nurse’s repeated calls, Li Mu and Lin Wan just turned a deaf ear to her. Then, Lin Wan subconsciously took a glance at their ticket number and immediately exclaimed, “Ah! It’s us. It’s us. We are number one!”

She immediately dragged her distracted husband and hurried over.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. We just zoned out for a moment. We are number one!”

The nurse looked at her unhappily and grumbled, “The queuing system has rung three times, and I have also called out several times. You guys are really amazing. You just sat there and stared at me without saying a word.”

Lin Wan smiled awkwardly and kept apologizing.

But Li Mu was a little unhappy. It was very common for people to zone out from time to time. Why was she so unforgiving?

“Missus! This isn’t entirely our fault. Since birth, I have never been number one in a queue, so my mind is unprepared for it. I thought you are calling someone else. What do you want? Do you want us to get a new ticket number again?”

Lin Wan tugged at her husband’s sleeve, signaling him to stop quarreling with the nurse.

The other female nurse who was standing beside them hurriedly interrupted when she noticed that the atmosphere between them tensed up.

“No, that’s not necessary. You guys can go to consultation room one.”

Lin Wan immediately thanked her and dragged her husband into the treatment area.

After drawing their blood for tests, measuring their blood pressure, taking an electrocardiogram, sperm analysis and ultrasound scans, the two of them returned to the consultation room.

The doctor who was providing consultation to them was an old lady. She was a fair-skinned, chubby, soft-spoken and kind-looking lady.

“The lady doesn’t have any problem!” the old lady said with certainty after looking through Lin Wan’s test report.

Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again.

“As for this gentleman…” The old lady suddenly paused.

The hearts of the couple were pounding vigorously in their chests and their faces were full of worries.

“He doesn’t have much problem either.” The old lady said unhurriedly.

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief and cursed silently in his heart, “Why is this old lady trying to keep the suspense at this time? She has really given me a real scare!”

Unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly shifted her ground, looked at Li Mu and said, “But it lacks vitality.”

Li Mu was taken aback and was unable to react for a moment. After a long while, he asked nervously, “It lacks vitality? Who? Are you referring to me? I’m full of energy!”

“I’m not talking about your body condition. I mean your sperm lacks vitality, and it will be more difficult for your wife to conceive!”

“Stop making a joke, doctor. My sperm lacks vitality? How is that possible? You all must have made a mistake.” Li Mu argued with the other party with a blushed face.

"Young man, you have to believe in science. We will not make a mistake. Don't get too agitated. I only said that it's harder for your wife to conceive, but I didn't say that it's impossible for the two of you to have children."

Lin Wan secretly tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.

Her husband was diagnosed with low sperm vitality, which had made her very worried.

"Doctor, is there a cure for this?" She asked with great concern.

The old lady replied affirmatively, “Of course there is a way. His problem is not too serious. If he took good care of his body, it was still possible for you two to have children.”

She continued to ask Li Mu, "Young man, I'll ask you a few questions now. You have to answer me truthfully."

"Huh? Okay, please go ahead!"

“Do you smoke?”

“No, I don’t!”

The old lady was slightly displeased upon hearing his answer, and said with a frown, “Your body is reeking of cigarette smell. I have smelled it the moment you entered the room, but you are telling me now that you don’t smoke. If you are unwilling to cooperate with me, I will not be able to give you the right advice.”

Lin Wan shook her fist at her husband, and the latter said blushingly, “Ah, I have remembered wrongly. Yes, I smoke occasionally!”

“How many cigarettes do you usually smoke in a day?”

“Not much. Just one or two cigarettes!”

The old lady revealed an unhappy expression on her face again. Upon seeing that, Li Mu quickly confessed, “Emm... I have remembered it wrongly again. Well, probably one or two boxes!”

"Smoking too much is one of the main causes of low sperm vitality! Do you regularly drink alcohol?"

“I don’t really drink much. I just drink a little occasionally!”

"Doctor, my husband's job often requires him to drink with his clients. He is even greedy for drinking and often gets himself drunk!" Lin Wan, who was sitting beside Li Mu, cut in.

“This is another main cause. And also, does he often stay up late?”

Lin Wan nodded her head vigorously and looked at the old lady with anticipation.

The old lady fiddled with her glasses and said solemnly, “If you don’t take good care of your body when you are young, you will suffer a lot when you get old. Now, only your sperm lacks vitality, but when you are old, all kinds of serious illnesses will come to you. At that time, don’t regret it.”

Li Mu didn’t dare to utter a word as he listened to her reprimand with his head bowed low.

After giving Li Mu a reprimand, the old lady turned to Lin Wan and said in a disapproving tone, “As a wife, you should keep an eye on your husband. If he was sick, you will be the one to take care of him.”

Lin Wan hurriedly admitted her mistake and ensured that she would definitely make her husband quit his unhealthy habits.

The old lady began to write his medical record and said without raising her head, “Quit smoking and drinking and don’t stay up too late. These are the basics of a disciplined and healthy lifestyle. I’ll prescribe some medicine for him. Come back for a follow-up check in a month.”

After leaving the hospital, Lin Wan looked angry.

Li Mu asked cautiously, “It’s still early. Do you want to go to work or do you want me to go shopping with you?”

"Neither. I'm going home!"

“Don’t be angry. I’ll do whatever you say in the future, okay?”

“Okay, that's what you said. From now on, you are not allowed to smoke, drink or turn on the computer after you get home from work. You are not allowed to play with your mobile phone or stay up late, either.”

...

Meanwhile, the two target vehicles arrived at the southern outskirts of the city one after another.

Lin Wan’s family got out of the car in front of a residential house with a courtyard. After several people had walked into the house successively, the door closed tightly behind them.

Han got out of another taxi and trotted over. Then, he opened the rear door of Zhou Zijian’s car and got in.

“Mr. Zhou, what are they doing here?”

Squinting his eyes, Zhou Zijian stared fixedly at the closed door and said cryptically, “They are trying to hide something but they are making it more conspicuous. In the end, everything is just a show to deceive that man. It’s pretty interesting!”

“Mr. Zhou, aren’t they relatives? Why are they doing this?”

“I still don’t know the reason yet. There is definitely something wrong with them. You guys keep a close eye on them. Don’t let the target get away!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou. I don’t dare to brag about other things, but Shanyang is our territory. They certainly won’t be able to run away from us.”

Two hours later, Su suddenly whispered, “Look! Lin Wan’s parents are walking out.”

Li Wan’s parents were walking out of the house. They flagged down a taxi, got in and headed toward the city.

Zhou Zijian immediately started the car and followed behind them.

About forty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the gate of a residential area. Lin Wan’s parents got out of the taxi, unlocked the gate with a card key and walked into the residential area while talking and laughing.

They also had a brief conversation with the security guard when they entered the residential area. Looking at the expressions of both parties, they should know each other and their relationship was pretty good.

After the two got far, Zhou Zijian pouted his lips at Su. The latter immediately understood what he meant, opened the car door and headed out.

A moment later, Su returned to the car and said to Zhou Zijian excitedly, “Mr. Zhou, I have found out everything. One is surnamed He and the other is surnamed Xiao. Both of them are residents of this neighborhood. They are not husband and wife at all.”

“D*mn!” Zhou Zijian cursed, “We have all been fooled by Lin Wan. They are not her parents at all.”

Zhou Zijian immediately reported the situation to the boss, who only gave him a simple reply, “You must find out their identities!”

After a round of investigation, Zhou Zijian had finally found out the true identities of Lin Wan’s so-called parents.

It turned out that they lived in the same neighborhood, and they each had their own families. Due to similar hobbies, they went to senior citizens’ university together and studied acting. They are considered classmates!

The private detective agency had used their social relationships and found out their check-in information at the Renaissance Hotel.

The check-in time showed that this impersonator pair and Lin Wan’s fifth uncle and fifth aunt only checked in the morning when Li Mu visited them, which was just minutes earlier than the time when Li Mu arrived at the hotel.

After getting this evidence, Zhou Zijian felt very excited.

He felt that there was already no need for him to continue to follow Lin Wan anymore. This evidence was already enough for He Xiaoyu to bring Lin Wan down.

The reason was very simple. Lin Wan has been lying all this while. The so-called excuse of escaping from forced marriage was nothing but a lie.

She has hired someone to pretend to be her parents to deceive her husband. Once Li Mu learned the truth of this, he will definitely not forgive her.

Now, it doesn’t matter whether Lin Wan has cheated or not as these lies and deceptions would be enough to ruin her marriage.

This incident can even indirectly prove Lin Wan’s infidelity. Her parents were fake, so the so-called cousin was probably fake as well.

Then, what was their relationship? How could Lin Wan explain their intimate behavior and why she stayed out all night?

As long as he told Li Mu all these things, the foreseeable result must be a divorce.

However, what Zhou Zijian didn’t expect was that his proposal was rejected by the boss.
