Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 315 - 283: Mom Nearly Lost Dad

Prince Huang didn’t understand, he just blinked his eyes and glanced between Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng, then pointed at Yin Shixiu, "Daddy is here..."

Su Xiaomeng looked at Yin Shixiu, "Pfft" she laughed, and then said, "Yes, Daddy is here..."

Yin Shixiu smiled knowingly, reached out and wiped her tears.

"Mom, be good..."

Shuangshuang has been getting cleverer lately; seeing others cry, she shows her most obedient side.

But hearing these words, Xiao Meng still felt very warmed.

"Okay."

Su Xiaomeng nodded.

The video call didn’t last long and was turned off, as it was getting quite late.

Both Shuangshuang and Huang Huang need to rest.

After washing up, Xiao Meng lay on the bed; at first, her thoughts were a mess, making sleep difficult.

But the nerves of the day were really too tense, and she soon fell asleep, though it was quite restless.

Around eleven o’clock, Yin Shixiu received a call from the person he sent out to investigate.

Although Mr. Yin has retired from his position as commander for many years, he still has many loyal subordinates.

Once the old master gives the orders, they quickly move into action.

The investigation results came even faster than the police department.

The dozen or so perpetrators belong to a local underworld organization called "Cutter Gang."

Usually, they just extort protection money and deceive common folks.

This time, doing such reckless things was purely because someone paid a considerable amount to prompt them to take risks.

And the person who paid for it is Zhou Wenxiu.

Yin Shixiu was somewhat surprised to hear this name, yet it was somewhat within expectations.

To understand how things developed, meeting Zhou Wenxiu was necessary.

After all, doing something reckless without considering consequences, shattering what is precious requires some courage.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaomeng went to the hotel restaurant to get some porridge and snacks, then went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for Su’s mother and headed to the hospital.

Yin Shixiu didn’t go with her; instead, he went with Yin Shaohui to another room in the hotel.

In the room, a man sat on the couch watched by four large men.

After Yin Shaohui and Yin Shixiu came in, the four men respectfully greeted the old master.

"This is Zhou Wenqin’s son, Fourth Young Master said not to alert Zhou Wenqin yet."

"Thank you, Brother Wen."

Yin Shixiu promptly spoke.

"You’re welcome."

The man before them, enlisted at eighteen, now in his forties, his father once fought wars alongside Mr. Yin.

He just happened to return from military leave these days; yesterday, upon hearing his father mention this matter, he immediately contacted people to investigate.

Su Li Hao frowned at Yin Shixiu, "You’re Su Xiaomeng’s husband..."

Yin Shixiu walked up to Su Li Hao, "I am."

"What do these people mean by capturing me?"

Su Li Hao didn’t know what his mother had done; he was even unaware of Su Chengji being hospitalized from injuries.

Lately, his mind has been consumed with matters about his father, and even his job has been severely affected by the father’s "corruption and bribery" allegations.

He couldn’t even handle his own affairs, let alone concern himself with others.

Yin Shixiu wasn’t sure if he was pretending or genuinely unaware.

But he had no intention of beating around the bush.

"Your father’s imprisonment was due to his improper actions being exposed."

Su Li Hao sneered, "Did you come here specifically to mock me over this?"

In recent days, he’s had enough of others’ jeers; those who once worshipped him like a deity have now turned against him, faster than flipping a book.

So, now he is extremely sensitive to what others say.

"Clearly, you really don’t know."

"Know what?"

Su Li Hao frowned, looking impatient.

"Your mother paid dearly to hire someone for murder."

Yin Shixiu spoke concisely, speaking so rapidly that Su Li Hao caught up quite late; once he realized, he laughed and looked at Yin Shixiu, "Are you crazy? My mom hired someone to kill? With what money? To kill whom? You—"

"With what money... you should ask your mother, a shop assistant at Su Chengji’s flower shop died, and yesterday Su Chengji barely escaped death after over seven hours in the operating room."

Su Li Hao widened his eyes, staring closely at Yin Shixiu, "You’re lying!"

"Whether I’m lying, you’ll know soon enough."

Seeing Su Li Hao’s reaction, Yin Shixiu knew he actually wasn’t aware and didn’t elaborate, only spoke to one of the tall men beside him, "Brother Wen, I’m troubling you to make another trip and bring over Ms. Zhou Wenqin."

"Alright, no problem."

"Then open another room and connect the surveillance to this room; watching her precious son see how vicious she is should be quite interesting."

Yin Shixiu finished speaking and left the room together with Yin Shaohui.

Using a cane, Yin Shaohui returned to his room and had Yin Shixiu sit opposite him, his aged eyes looking directly at him, "How involved were you in the deputy mayor and Su Jianyi’s affairs?"

Yin Shixiu knew his father would surely ask, so he didn’t plan on hiding it, "I just told Uncle Qian that to bring down the deputy mayor, we could start with Su Jianyi."

"Is that all?"

"I had someone take a few things from Su Jianyi’s house..."

"I knew it."

Yin Shaohui glanced at him, "This is not something you should get involved in. Why are you muddying the waters?"

"If that crazy woman hadn’t repeatedly targeted Xiaomeng and Su’s father and mother, I certainly wouldn’t have bothered with this."

"...She hit the Su family?"

"Last time when Xiaomeng returned from Chengdu, her head was injured. Over the phone, I heard that woman slap Xiaomeng."

"Dad, I have my limits, I just didn’t expect Zhou Wenxiu to do such things."

"Even if it wasn’t me, Su Jianyi’s family wouldn’t have been well off by the end of the year."

"In business, don’t talk politics. Didn’t I tell you that?"

"In business, don’t talk politics... In reality, that’s just an ideal. If Shi Qing gets dissatisfied in the future, he would definitely start from the political side."

"I don’t think I did anything wrong regarding Su Jianyi. I only know that the punishment Su Jianyi’s family received isn’t enough."

Yin Shaohui’s hand gripped the dragon head of the cane, his expression deep in thought.

Yin Shixiu stood up, "Dad, I’ll take care of the aftermath. What you worry about won’t happen."

Yin Shaohui let out a soft sigh, "Fourth, no matter how capable you are, there are a lot of things beyond control. I don’t care how much you’ve been involved in Su Jianyi’s arrest, but the fact that you were involved did get out."

Yin Shixiu pressed his lips tightly.

"If it weren’t for that flower shop worker shielding Su Chengji, Xiaomeng would never have had a father again."

"Now, Xiaomeng’s father has returned, but another young man lost his life. How much pain must his family be in?"

"The Su Jianyi family were unjust people, always doing unrighteous deeds. That woman planned to go down taking everything with her. She has nothing to fear, but what about you?"

"I don’t want something like this to happen again."

Yin Shaohui spoke with a steady gaze.

Yin Shixiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, "She isn’t fearless; she’s just a fool. If it happens again, I would do the same, and I would do it even more ruthlessly, leaving that fool with no strength to even cry out."

Yin Shixiu walked out of the room.

Yin Shaohui sat on the sofa, stunned for quite a while, slowly realizing...

that he might truly have aged.

He had already forgotten the rush of hot blood coursing through him in his younger days.

Not fearless, but also not weak because of fear.

Zhou Wenxiu was brought into the empty hotel room, finding Su Xiaomeng already seated on the sofa in the living room.

She looked at the woman in front of her, whom she greatly disliked yet had called "aunt" for many years.

Zhou Wenxiu was still dressed in the brand-name clothes she loved.

The scent of her perfume was still overpowering.

Her face was still heavily made up, as if her hands hadn’t been stained with blood.

She looked deceptively young, her face unwrinkled, her skin not sagging.

Seeing Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng in front of her, she raised her painted slender eyebrows, "Su Xiaomeng, you’ve grown bold, speaking to your elders like this—"

Without finishing her sentence, Su Xiaomeng grabbed the cold water from the coffee table and splashed it directly on her face.

As polished and carefully applied as it was, her makeup now only appeared disheveled.

"Su Xiaomeng!"

The splash of water instantly angered Zhou Wenxiu, and she was about to grab Su Xiaomeng!

Intent on beating her to death!

Fortunately, Brother Wen grasped Zhou Wenxiu’s wrist with one hand, using just the right amount of force to twist her arm behind her, causing her to cry out in pain but unable to move.

"Su Xiaomeng, how dare you treat me like this? You and your husband are just a pair of nouveau riche! Aren’t you just being arrogant because you married a rich husband?"

"Isn’t it you who’s being arrogant, Aunt Wenxiu?"

"I’m being arrogant?"

"Spending money to hire thugs, sending them with machetes to my Dad’s flower shop to smash it, and killing the shop worker Hong Shu, almost killing my Dad too! Are these the actions of a human?"

"Su Xiaomeng, I warn you, stop spouting lies about hiring thugs and murder, or I’ll—"

"Everyone involved was caught last night, not one got away. The three million you gave them was all packed in a briefcase."

Su Xiaomeng looked at Zhou Wenxiu calmly, watching for any change in her expression.

"You’d rather spend three million to take a life than leave a way out for your own son, Zhou Wenxiu, why do you do this?"

Zhou Wenxiu took a deep breath.

"What people got caught, what three million, I know nothing about."

"You don’t know..."

Xiaomeng glared at her, "You and Uncle Jianyi both left the countryside, Grandpa Third lost his wife years ago, and later his daughter too, leaving him with only Uncle Jianyi."

"Of course life in the countryside isn’t as good as in the city. When Uncle Jianyi passed the civil service exam, who in the entire family wasn’t overjoyed? You both wanted to leave the countryside behind..."
