572: Chapter 572: A Woman Chasing a Man is Like a Separation by a Layer of Gauze 572: Chapter 572: A Woman Chasing a Man is Like a Separation by a Layer of Gauze Primeval Forest, inside the bunker.
That day, Lin Shuang had himself a solid rest.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the bunker, Su Moli was talking with her mother at length in her room.
“Mom, cousin said… Lin Shuang has a venereal disease… do you think I should continue to pursue him?” Su Moli said with a complex expression on her face.
Mother Su Xihe was taken aback by these words.
Could it be… could your cousin be deceiving you?” Su Xihe said with a serious look in her eyes.
Su Moli shook her head, “No, my cousin wouldn’t lie; she has never deceived me since we were children.”
Mother Su Xihe guessed something and said gravely, “Moli, is it possible that your cousin has taken a liking to him as well, her bodyguard, and made up this lie to dissuade you?”
At this moment, Su Moli fell silent.
If things were as her mother had suggested, it was indeed possible.
Mom Su Xihe advised with complexity, “Moli, if that’s true, maybe you should just let it go.
Fighting with your cousin over the same man, what would that look like?
And he’s your cousin’s subordinate to begin with, you stand no chance.”
Su Moli bit her red lip, “But… I really like him a lot.”
There’s a kind of fondness that shifts from gratitude… to love.
Su Moli felt this way; ever since Lin Shuang saved her from Yangcheng Prison last time, her heart had been completely filled by her rescuer.
Apart from Lin Shuang, there was no one else in her heart.
“Eh.” Su Xihe sighed deeply, “Well, do as you wish.
Since you’ve made up your mind, I can’t persuade you.
If you like him, go after him.
Beat your cousin to it, capture Lin Shuang, and make him your man.”
Su Moli nodded earnestly.
Over the next two days, Lin Shuang planned to recuperate for a few days.
The Su Family continued to remain hidden in the secret bunker.
Lin Shuang and Su Wanqiao planned a strategy to seize an opportunity to break through the blockade in Fucheng, taking the Su Family members out of the province to lie low.
During these days, Su Moli began to actively pursue Lin Shuang.
The young lady, upon encountering someone she liked, no longer concealed her pursuit.
She would take the initiative to cook for Lin Shuang, seizing every chance to be with him, to chat, eat, and discuss various issues.
Later, she even boldly confessed her feelings, expressing her desire to be with Lin Shuang.
This nearly made everyone in the Su Family aware of the situation inside the bunker.
When Su Wanqiao learned of this, she too was shocked.
Jealousy surged within her, yet she couldn’t stop her cousin.
She could only swallow this resentment.
Every night, she would vent her anger on Lin Shuang.
She would scold and warn Lin Shuang with various threats.
She also found opportunities to dock his wages and bonuses.
However, Lin Shuang directly rejected Su Moli’s proactive pursuit.
They say ‘It’s a thin veil that separates a woman chasing a man.’
Yet Su Moli’s pursuit of Lin Shuang was repeatedly met with rejection.
That day, Lin Shuang had just turned down Su Moli’s expression of affection.
Suddenly, Old Master Su, leaning on a cane, tremblingly sought Lin Shuang out.
“Little Brother Lin… this man has suddenly taken some distant relatives of our Su Family hostage, and he said he wants to speak with you…” Old Master Su said anxiously, handing the mobile phone to Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang was taken aback, wondering what had happened.
He took the phone and his expression immediately turned solemn!
The phone screen was on a video call.
In the video frame, a young man was standing inside a room.
On the floor of the room, more than a dozen hostages, both men and women, were kneeling.
All the hostages were bound with chains, and they were covered in injuries.
That young man also saw Lin Shuang in the video.
They looked at each other through the video.
Lin Shuang suddenly felt that the young man’s features looked somewhat familiar?
“Are you Lin Shuang?” At this moment, in the live video, the young man’s voice was ice-cold.
Who are you?” Lin Shuang asked in return, facing the video.
