Su Qing's frantic words made her originally calm mood instantly agitated, especially the last four words implying a terrible death.
Hadn't the situation escalated to this point due to the actions of Su Qing and Chi Yan themselves?
What did it have to do with her? Yet, they still used such disgusting words.
Moreover, she really didn't want to do anything just now; she had never intended to drive the Su Family to a dead end. Yet before she could clarify, Su Qing had already adopted that attitude.
Chi Gui glanced indifferently at the Su Family members and said softly, "You guys can leave."
After speaking, she turned around and closed the door.
She was not unwilling to accept the apologies of Su Qing and the others, but at the very least, their attitude had to be right.
Old Sir Su, Su Qing, and the other Su Family members, seeing the door shut in their face, all stood there in a daze.
Everyone's gaze focused on Su Qing.
"Su Qing, how could you speak like that just now?"
"Exactly, our only hope was all on Chi Gui, and now haven't we completely burned our bridges?"
"It's like pushing our Su Family right into a pit of fire."
Old Sir Su and others complained repeatedly to Su Qing; they had come with hope, but now they felt even more miserable.
Su Qing sneered, his face still extremely gloomy, "Haven't you noticed? She is a petty woman, she never intended to forgive us. The initial incident, she surely harbored resentment, and now seeing the Su Family in this state, she probably can't wait for our downfall."
Su Qing paused, clenched his fists, and continued, "Otherwise, we've been so sincere, why wouldn't she forgive us immediately?"
His words made Old Sir Su and the others look even more somber.
Thinking carefully, it indeed seemed to be the case; if Chi Gui were a magnanimous person, she should have resolved the matter right away.
Su Haikang furrowed his brows and said, "Then what should we do? If we don't handle this situation, the Su Family is really finished."
The others also looked distressedly at Old Sir Su, the atmosphere oppressive and desperate.
At this moment, Su Qing's gaze turned cold, and he suddenly said, "I'm quite curious, Chi Gui is so young, we all know what her situation was like before, how could she suddenly become an Academician in such a short time? There must be more to it."
These words immediately made everyone's expression change. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Su Haikang thought for a while and then said, "It does seem so. Chi Gui is so young, how could she become an Academician? You look at those legitimate Academicians, who hasn't been in medical research for decades? I think she definitely used some underhanded tactics."
Yin Xiuxiu nodded in agreement, "It makes sense. I've always felt that Chi Gui was unreliable, and at that promotion ceremony, they didn't even specify her achievements; there must be something fishy."
Old Sir Su remained silent, pondering for a while; he too felt that the words of Su Qing and others made sense.
Su Qing's eyes flickered, and after a quiet moment, he surveyed everyone and said in a deep voice, "This is our breakthrough. I think if we handle it well, not only can we destroy Chi Gui's reputation, but we can also save our Su Family from this calamity."
He already had a feasible plan in mind.
