Translator: _Min_
Su Ci halted his steps and turned to Meng Zhi, who had caught up with him, to inquire, “Do you need something from me?”
Meng Zhi lowered his gaze and, after a brief moment, nodded affirmatively, “Yes, I do have something.”
Su Ci fell silent, sensing what Meng Zhi was about to bring up. He wished to intervene before Meng Zhi could continue, but Meng Zhi’s words had already reached his ears before he could speak.
Meng Zhi asked, “Why did you suddenly leave on the day Su Ting underwent surgery?”
Su Ci’s gaze briefly flitted away before he steadied himself and replied calmly, “My company had just expanded into the domestic market, and I was overwhelmed with work. That day, I received a call from my subordinate about an urgent project that needed my attention.”
Meng Zhi fixed his gaze on Su Ci. After a few minutes, seeing no change in Su Ci’s expression, he shifted his gaze away and then said, “Why haven’t you contacted us in these three years if you were okay?”
Su Ci turned his head slightly, murmuring softly, “I encountered some unexpected issues.”
Without waiting for Meng Zhi to probe further, he quickly added, “I can’t discuss the details right now, but I’ll tell you when the time is right. I have to go now; there’s work to be done at my company.”
Without waiting for a response from Meng Zhi, Su Ci turned and swiftly walked away.
Meng Zhi watched as Su Ci’s car sped away, his eyes darkening with suspicion. He felt that Su Ci was hiding a big secret.
Meng Zhi had once viewed Su Ci as his brother-in-law, leading to a deep bond between them, marked by open and heartfelt conversations. However, the current distance in their relationship left Meng Zhi feeling estranged.
After getting into his car, Su Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of heading to his office, he drove home.
He was highly efficient at work, having already completed his tasks. The excuses he had given were just that—excuses.
Upon booting his computer and accessing his father’s files, Su Ci found a document concerning Bolin Sea. After reading it, he clenched his fists in anger, frustrated at both his father and himself.
He had seen this document before but had paid it little attention, dismissing it as one of his father’s new projects.
If he had taken the contents seriously, he might have anticipated his father’s intentions and prevented the kidnapping of Gu Dai. But he hadn’t…
Breathing heavily, hands buried in his hair in frustration, Su Ci was filled with pain and guilt. “Daidai, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not realizing sooner…”
With that, he grabbed his car keys and left, driving at top speed to a villa in the outskirts. Upon arrival, he entered the well-lit villa with a determined stride.
Inside, the villa was bathed in soft music, with Father Su lounging leisurely in a chair.
Hearing footsteps, Father Su opened his eyes, and his expression soured upon seeing Su Ci. Disdainfully, he remarked, “Oh, you’ve finally decided to visit your father after spending so much time with your cousin?”
Su Ci replied coldly, “You had planned to target Daidai all along, hadn’t you?”
Without denying it, Father Su retorted sharply, “Even if I did, what right do you have to criticize me?”
Facing Father Su’s twisted expression, Su Ci remained unfazed, “No matter our relationship, I won’t let you hurt Gu Dai again.”
At that moment, his phone rang.
Seizing the opportunity, Father Su hurled an ashtray at him.
Su Ci dodged swiftly and answered the call in a hurry.
Furious, his father slammed his hand on the table, “You dare to dodge?”
Su Ci responded, “If I were to throw something at you, father, would you not dodge?”
Gritting his teeth, Father Su said, “You’re truly my son, opposing me for the sake of that woman, Gu Dai, even willing to attack me.”
“And Su Ting, the child you adopted, has also fallen for Gu Dai, protecting her at all costs. You’re all no good,” Father Su continued.
Listening to the conversation on the phone, Su Ting’s expression darkened.
He was unsure who Su Ci was speaking with, but instinctively felt the conversation was crucial.
However, before he could listen further, the call was abruptly disconnected.
It seemed Su Ci had realized the call was connected..
