"I heard there’s a female comrade in the Song and Dance Troupe who can hit the bullseye every time, even with her eyes closed, and even against a moving target. It’s said she has a deep connection with the Su Family, and for her, Su Jiang has been constantly on the move."
Could it be that the rumors were true? Hmm... by looking at Old Su’s expression, I knew it was absolutely true! Who would have thought that Su Yun actually had a child in the countryside? How did Xingzhi bear it?
No wonder the Su Family has been so low-profile about this matter. It’s tied to the prestige of the Su Family leadership.
"That’s correct," Mr. Chen said, concealing the smile on his face. "Not being able to join the rescue team is a loss for the rescue world."
"Indeed, it’s such a pity!"
"Her name is Sheng Ning, right? I saw the video of that day; it was spectacular!"
"That’s right!" Mr. Su’s mouth curled up into a little smug expression.
"Eh? I heard that this girl got injured a while ago and should have gone back to her hometown to recover, right?" One of the retired leaders used to be in charge of the medical system. The current Dean of the Main Hospital was once his subordinate, so he was relatively informed about the happenings in the hospital.
Because at the time she was admitted, Su Hai personally went, and he used Old Master’s name, so the incident alarmed many people.
"What did you say?" Old Master stood up abruptly, no longer interested in the performance, and glared angrily at the other person. "Repeat what you just said! What exactly happened?"
Everyone looked at each other, realizing that this was a disaster! It seemed Su Hai had kept it from him, and now that it had slipped out, Su Hai would surely come looking for trouble!
"Don’t even think about trying to smooth this over; I’m not a fool," Mr. Su squinted, threatening.
"Who would dare! Everybody knows how sharp you are."
"It’s just your family of foxes, all inherited from you."
With no choice left, the person recounted what he knew. After listening, Mr. Su’s normally ruddy complexion turned ashen, his gaze fierce.
"Old buddy, it’s all fine now, no need to worry," Mr. Hai hurriedly consoled.
"So, you all knew about this?" Mr. Su asked with a chilling voice.
At a time , anyone who admitted to knowing would be a fool. "Not at all, I had absolutely no idea."
"Me neither, I wouldn’t have known if they hadn’t mentioned it just now."
"Yeah! Yingzi hasn’t been home much lately either, and she’s not with Sheng Ning now..."
"I’d believe you lot over my dead body." Mr. Su huffed angrily, no longer cared to watch the play, and immediately called his assistant to go home. Once home, he sat on the sofa motionless, leaning on his cane.
The assistant tried to talk to him several times to no avail, frightening everyone.
"See when that bunch of scoundrels will arrive?" Mr. Su believed that the truth he had learned at the National Grand Theater had already made it to those scoundrels’ ears. He didn’t need to call; they would rush back as soon as possible.
"Old leader, Director Su Hai is already on his way back," the message had indeed reached Su Hai immediately, and apprehensive, Su Hai’s secretary had called in advance.
"President Meng will be arriving shortly. President Su Jiang can’t make it, but he sent his representative, who is already at the front gate of the complex," the assistant who had followed the old leader for so many years was witnessing for the first time how incredibly connected the information network was.
They all returned from the theater in less than an hour. The responsiveness of the other leaders far exceeded his expectations.
