Except for Su Zhe, Bo Jingshen couldn’t think of anyone else.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Su deeply agreed and nodded, "Right, Su Zhe. That explains it."
Just how formidable a person Su Zhe was, Jiang Su was also quite willing to admit. He had been back for only a short time, and with ferocious moves, the Su Family’s family business had almost been beaten into disarray. Who knows how long the preparation had been going on.
Regarding Su Zhe’s abilities and skills, Jiang Su was very willing to admit, "If it is Su Zhe who is blocking my investigation, then it’s indeed going to slow me down. Don’t worry."
How could he not worry?
Bo Jingshen felt that he couldn’t wait for a second longer. He couldn’t wait to begin with, and after seeing that photo and adding his own speculation, he was even more unable to wait.
Su Zhe had been on the phone with Professor Zhou for a long time, well past midnight.
After ending the call, an incoming call came in right away,
"Mmh, go ahead." Su Zhe answered, listening to the report from the other end, his face gradually turning icy. He chuckled coldly, "Let Jiang Su investigate if he loves it so much, just block the news. I didn’t expect Jiang Su to have started playing the role of an accomplice as well."
The person on the other end seemed to be somewhat embarrassed, it was, after all, Jiang Su they were facing. To block the news temporarily was one thing, but to do so indefinitely was hardly realistic.
Su Zhe, having listened to the slightly troubled words on the other end, then said, "When they’re supposed to know, let them know. It’s not a big issue."
The other end seemed to be relieved, said nothing more, and hung up the phone.
Su Zhe tidied the materials he had just discussed with Professor Zhou and was ready to rest, but unexpectedly, just before sleep, an unfamiliar number dialed in.
Seeing this number, Su Zhe raised an eyebrow, almost guessing who it was.
He paused for a moment, then picked up.
Su Zhe remained silent, waiting for the person on the other end to speak.
The other end was silent for a few seconds, then said something in a low voice. The deep voice sounded somewhat hoarse, as if he had smoked a great many cigarettes, gaining that hoarse texture.
"What do you want?" Su Zhe’s voice was very bland.
Other people’s voices were cold when they were devoid of warmth, but Su Zhe was different. When his voice was bland, it was already without temperature.
"I want to talk to you," Bo Jingshen’s voice remained constant throughout, and even seemed to be putting himself somewhat lower.
Su Zhe laughed lightly, "Talk? What do we have to talk about? I’ve warned you to stay away from Lulu, but apparently, you did not listen, and this girl is the kind who doesn’t give up until facing dire consequences, until reaching the Yellow River."
Su Zhe paused for a moment, his voice suddenly turning cold, "But now, she has indeed seen the coffin and reached the Yellow River."
Bo Jingshen on the other end took a deep breath, as if trying hard to restrain some emotion, then said, "I want to meet Su Lu, I can..."
"Explain?" He hadn’t finished speaking when Su Zhe interrupted, "What makes you think Lulu needs your explanation? Or perhaps begging and pleading on your knees?"
Bo Jingshen’s breathing became a bit more rapid, as though he was on the verge of letting go of some barely contained emotions.
"Su Zhe, the fault is indeed mine. It’s okay for me to kneel before Su Lu, beg for mercy? Make explanations? All of that is possible. But it’s to Su Lu, not to you."
Bo Jingshen couldn’t hold back and finally spoke out, "Pardon my frankness, don’t you think today’s situation is thanks to you? I’ve thought it over carefully, and no matter how I think about it, I can’t understand why this situation occurred today, until you come to mind, your warning."
Originally, Bo Jingshen had believed it was because of Zhuang Cainan, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt it was not possible. Not because Zhuang Cainan couldn’t be a snitch, but because Zhuang Cainan simply wouldn’t be taken seriously by Jing Ce, and Zhuang Cainan’s word would not be regarded by Jing Ce either.
In his heart, Jing Ce had always harbored a natural disdain for women. In his view, women do not deserve to discuss serious matters with him.
So, I’m afraid it has nothing to do with Zhuang Cainan.
Until just now, when Jiang Su suddenly mentioned Su Zhe, Bo Jingshen belatedly realized Su Zhe’s past warning, and it dawned on him that perhaps this was the reason.
Hearing this, Su Zhe did not contradict but simply fell silent for a few seconds.
"In fact, you really are untrustworthy," Su Zhe continued without denial, "For Lulu’s sake, you didn’t even have the courage to fight back and just compromised. Apart from the word ’coward’, I can’t find a more fitting description for you."
"That’s because you don’t understand the danger of Jing Ce," Bo Jingshen said, "One wrong move from me could put Su Lu in danger..."
"That’s why I say you’re a coward," Su Zhe interrupted, "Do you know what Lulu became for you? She was not even afraid of death."
Bo Jingshen opened his mouth but ultimately did not continue to argue, "I just want to know where Su Lu is."
Bo Jingshen paused for a moment, then asked further, "At which hospital."
"There’s no need for you to worry about that," Su Zhe said.
Bo Jingshen was silent for a moment, "You didn’t contradict, so she is indeed in the hospital."
"Thank you. I will find her. Until I do, please take extra care of her for me," Bo Jingshen said.
Su Zhe was a bit irritable. Bo Jingshen thought for a while but couldn’t help asking, "I just have one more question, is Su Lu... pregnant? Is she... okay? Is my child... okay?"
Su Zhe sneered, "Not good at all."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Bo Jingshen to respond.
Those four short words made Bo Jingshen panic.
Fortunately, at least he had some direction now, and he immediately had Jiang Su investigate towards the hospital.
Cigarettes and coffee were consumed rapidly like flowing water, his chin quickly became sharper, and a layer of stubble immediately sprouted on his jaw.
Now that Jiang Su had a direction for the investigation, the speed of the search increased significantly.
The next day, Su Lu was ready for surgery and appeared a bit nervous before entering the operating room.
Su Zhe and Cheng You Ran accompanied her to the operating room.
"I won’t go in," Su Zhe said, "Cheng You Ran will accompany you inside."
Su Zhe: "I’ll just wait outside for you to come out, don’t worry, everything will be fine."
Su Lu took a deep breath, looked at Cheng You Ran, "Let’s go."
The operating room doors opened ahead, and after the gurney was pushed in, they slowly closed again.
Soon, the red light indicating surgery in progress lit up. The LCD screen at the door displayed Su Lu’s name, the name of the surgery, the surgery time, and the name of the lead surgeon.
When Bo Jingshen rushed over in haste, what he saw was the sealed operating room door, the glaring red light, and Su Zhe standing waiting for the surgery to end.
"What’s... what’s going on?" Bo Jingshen was somewhat inarticulate. He stared at the words on the LCD screen, each word he could understand, but it was as if he couldn’t comprehend them, unable to react.
"What... what does this mean? What’s... what’s going on?" He staggered when he confronted Su Zhe.
