Su Ruanruan gently persuaded, occasionally having servants bring ginseng tea for Old Master Su to sip on.
Afraid that he might not catch his breath.
The rest of the Su Family reluctantly offered comfort.
Just at this moment, two men in uniform arrived.
"Is this the residence of Su Yugu?" they inquired.
Su Yugu hastily approached: "Yes, yes, yes! May I ask what brings you here?"
The two men said with a faint smile, "It’s nothing serious, just wish to have your elderly father assist with an investigation."
Investigation of what?
Old Master Su looked utterly bewildered.
The two officials were forthright: "Here’s the thing! We’ve been investigating a fraud ring! According to reliable sources, the last person they contacted was your father."
the Su Family members were dumbstruck.
Particularly Old Master Su, who was beyond agitated: "What ring? I know nothing about it!"
The two officials were not to be trifled with, strictly professional.
"We hope for your cooperation."
"The ring’s main members include Zhang Cuixia and Li Guirong, both 33 years old with an elementary school education."
Old Master Su was on the verge of madness.
"One is called Meili, and the other Meibao."
"They are both just in their early 20s, pure and innocent young women."
"Both have had several children. While committing their crimes, they often used fish bladders and chicken blood to garner sympathy from the elderly, then their husbands would follow up to extort large sums of money."
Old Master Su collapsed onto the couch with a thud.
Lying back, he muttered, "My treasures... turned out to be swindlers! They are no longer maidens."
At this moment, Su Qionglin couldn’t hold back any longer.
She burst out, "Old Master, look at your age! What nonsense are you thinking of!"
She was also decisive: "Fortunately, neither of those women got pregnant with the old master’s seed, or there would be endless troubles."
Her words reminded everyone else.
Su Yugu immediately said to the two men, "We will cooperate with the investigation, but can you keep it confidential throughout? Our old master is somewhat of a public figure, after all."
"Of course! We will refer to him as ’Mr. Su’ in our documents."
The Su Family members breathed a sigh of relief.
But before the two officials left, the scandal of Old Master Su being duped by the sisters had already been exposed.
It became the top trending topic on Jiang City’s local search.
[Scandalous Affairs of a Distinguished Family]
[Shocking! Billion-dollar sisters turn out to be women in their thirties!]
[The full story of Old Doctor Su being scammed...]
Su Yugu, trembling with rage, scrolled through his phone.
"Minghua! Handle the PR immediately."
Su Minghua nodded, "I’ll contact our legal department right away."
As he left, he stealthily glanced at Su Ruanruan.
He knew that the public relations efforts might not be efficacious.
The opposition was wealthy and prepared.
After organizing everything, Su Yugu went to console his elderly father.
Old Master Su was pointing at the sky, mouth agape—
He murmured, "Never... never..."
Old Master Su’s head tilted to one side.
"He’s had a stroke," Su Yugu exclaimed, immediately attempting to provide aid.
The Su Family descended into chaos.
Old Master Su was rushed to the hospital...
Eventually, overwhelmed by the shock, he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed.
He would never be able to speak or walk again, let alone go after his treasures.
The Su Family members stood in the hallway, utterly devastated.
Stricken by the turn of events, it was Su Minghua, the eldest son, who took care of everything.
But before he did anything, he would always look for Su Ruanruan’s reaction.
The hospital had an unpleasant smell.
Su Ruanruan didn’t stay long.
She went downstairs, ready to take her leave by car.
In the elevator, she encountered Su Minghua.
"Sister Four," Su Minghua called her, uneasy.
