108: Chapter 108: You Despise Your Son 108: Chapter 108: You Despise Your Son As the two were halfway through their walk, a noise echoed from the fork ahead.
The dim alleyway was already spine-chilling.
Jiang You, already on edge, was startled by the sudden sound.
Luckily, her reflexes were quick and she knew to cover her mouth with her hand.
She didn’t scream too loudly.
Instead, Su He behaved as if nothing had happened, showing no sign of fear.
Su He turned to look at her and whispered, “Wait here for , I’ll go check ahead.”
Jiang You covered her mouth with both hands, thought for a mont, nodded slightly, and made an affirmative sound.
But as soon as Su He left, she regretted it.
She felt even more afraid being alone.
After waiting a while and seeing that Su He hadn’t returned, she cautiously moved forward.
Taking small steps, she encouraged herself in her mind:
“Jiang You, don’t be scared, it’s just the dark, there’s nothing to worry about…”
“Keep going, you can do it, don’t be scared, don’t be scared, don’t be scared…”
But as she walked, she went in the wrong direction…
Su He had turned to the right, but she turned left.
As she walked…
Suddenly, her foot tripped over sothing.
Her legs were already weak, and she almost fell face-first into the dirt…
She steadied herself and, using the dim light and moonlight from the alley, spotted a dark figure leaning against the wall.
She was so scared that her eyes widened instantly, her face turned pale, and she let out a soft exclamation: “Ah… hmm…”
She staggered a few steps back until she leaned against the wall behind her.
What she had just kicked was a person…
The alley was not spacious, and the distance between her and that shadow was not very far; she could reach the person by lifting her foot.
Jiang You relaxed her tensed and fearful emotions and cautiously extended her long leg to kick the person’s leg.
“Hey, are you… are you still alive?”
She kicked once, but there was no response.
She thought, could he be dead?
This thought made her fear even worse; any lingering drunkenness instantly disappeared.
Although she was usually fearless, she had never experienced sothing this terrifying.
Fear overtook her entire body, and she shivered uncontrollably.
After several minutes, she mustered up the courage to move forward.
The darkness concealed her trembling body.
With the help of the dim light, she finally saw the unconscious person in front her—it was the sa man she and her sister-in-law had encountered earlier.
His blood had stained her clothes.
She nervously swallowed and tremblingly reached out to remove the mask from the man’s face.
However, as she extended her hand, the man suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Before she could react, he had already pinned her against the wall.
“Who are you?”
The man’s voice was hoarse and cold, as if he would kill her in the next second.
Jiang You was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that she lost her voice.
She couldn’t even shout.
She stared with wide, fearful eyes, her eyes filled with terror.
The man’s grip on her wrist was strong, and his other hand was pressing on her neck; she could no longer feel the pain.
Fear had overwheld the pain.
Whimpering.
She regretted not listening to her sister-in-law…
The man, upon hearing her whimpering, frowned and was shaken.
Due to his injury, his face was pale, and his mind sowhat blurry.
Paired with the darkness, he couldn’t see the person in front clearly but could sense a familiar scent on the woman.
“Whimper… Big brother, don’t kill … I’m not a bad person…” Jiang You spoke tremblingly.
The man found the voice sowhat familiar upon hearing it.
“I… I don’t want to die yet, I’m still young… I haven’t dated yet, haven’t married yet… whimper…”
“Big brother, please let go.
I didn’t an to see you.
I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything.”
Jiang You, despite her fear, did not forget to beg for her life.
She genuinely didn’t want to die; she hadn’t lived enough yet.
“…”
“Jiang You?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Jiang You suddenly heard her na and froze completely, her eyes widening in shock.
“You…
you recognize ?”
She was baffled in an instant!
What’s going on here?
Xing Siyang released his hand from her neck and then took off his mask himself.
At this mont, so close to each other, Jiang You recognized him the instant he took off the mask: “Siyang?”
Jiang You was completely stiffened, this…
Isn’t he abroad?
What is he doing here?
And he’s injured?
At this mont, a hundred thousand whys almost flashed through her mind!
She had never expected to encounter Xing Siyang in such a situation.
Her fear dissipated in an instant, and she even felt a bit excited.
“Siyang, what are you doing here?”
As soon as she asked, the person in front of her collapsed onto her, motionless.
Jiang You: “…”
“Siyang?
Siyang?” She whispered in his ear a couple of tis.
Then she tried to help him up, touching the wound on his arm, and her hand felt sticky.
She imdiately understood what it was.
She began to panic.
“Siyang, wake up, don’t scare , I’m timid…”
She originally wanted to call for Su He, but she was worried about alerting others.
“What to do, what to do?”
She was very panicky inside, not knowing what to do for the mont, muttering incessantly.
The previously unconscious Xing Siyang woke up again, probably stirred by her continuous muttering in his ear.
Due to the excessive blood loss, he was very weak and spoke breathlessly, “Youyou, don’t rush, I’m fine.
I don’t have the strength right now, help sit up first.”
He was injured, barely enduring the pain to hide from that group of people to get here.
Besides the injury on his arm, he also had a wound in his abdon.
Just that Jiang You could not see it.
He didn’t ntion it, not wanting to scare her.
Jiang You sniffed her nose: “Okay.”
He was burly, and Jiang You was petite; he could hardly exert any strength, and it was tough for Jiang You to help him get up from her.
“Siyang, my sister-in-law is here.”
“You…
wait here for for a while, I’ll go and get my sister-in-law, okay?”
“You won’t be in trouble.”
Jiang You could feel how weak Xing Siyang was at this mont; she had never seen him like this.
Now her heart was in utmost chaos, even more panicked than before, scared that sothing would happen to Xing Siyang.
But she had to keep calm.
Although Xing Siyang was in pain, he could feel that the girl in front of him was genuinely panicked and anxious.
As she finished speaking, she intended to get up to find Su He.
But Xing Siyang grabbed her wrist.
“What’s wrong, Siyang?”
“Don’t go; call her instead.
My phone is in the right pocket of my pants.”
He knew Su He was also here, but he didn’t want to involve her, so when in the elevator, he was really afraid she would recognize him.
Then bumping into her in the corridor, he didn’t want to be recognized, so he could only hide into the restroom and then crawled out through the ceiling ventilation duct.
Until he t Jiang You here, he knew that Su He had already recognized him.
It’s too dark here; he was also not at ease about Jiang You going out again, just in case she ets soone she shouldn’t, she alone couldn’t cope.
–
anwhile, in another alley, Su He encountered two people in black acting sneakily.
Clearly, they were looking for soone.
She hid at the corner and heard one of them making a call.
“Mr.
Tian, the kid with the last na Xing has run away.”
“He’s injured; he can’t run far; we are still looking.”
“Okay, Mr.
Tian, we understand.”
It looks like she guessed right, it really was Xing Siyang.
When did he co back?
“Hey, fellas.”
Su He stepped out from the shadows, calling out to the two n not far away.
Suddenly, a woman’s voice startled both n.
They turned their heads and saw a slender figure gracefully walking towards them.
They just saw it as a woman and didn’t take it seriously.
“Who are you?
Leave quickly, or don’t bla us for being rude!”
One of the n scolded.
They didn’t want to stir up trouble; their goal was to find soone and retrieve sothing.
Su He didn’t stop because of their words.
“I’m sorry, I’m lost.
It’s too dark here, I can’t see clearly.
Can you guys lead out?”
Her voice was clear and pleasant, delicately trembling as if she truly was lost.
The two n were slightly taken aback because her voice was really appealing.
The bell-like crispness of her voice was like a hook that tickled their hearts.
Although they couldn’t see the woman’s face, her voice was lodious and her figure enchanting, stirring their imaginations.
One of them, indecisive, was about to act but was pulled back by his companion.
His companion shook his head at him, “Rember our mission!”
But at that mont, Su He suddenly made her move.
The two were startled and hurriedly stepped back, blocking Su He’s attack.
But it was of no use, as Su He was incredibly fast, each move targeting vital points.
“F*ck!”
“This woman’s skills are so vicious!”
Her movents were agile and clean, giving them no chance to breathe, and they couldn’t touch her.
Five minutes later, the two were laying flat on the ground, stacked like a pile of dolls.
Su He stepped her foot on the back of the top guy, rested her elbow on her knee, looked down slightly, and said coldly, “Speak, who sent you here?”
The two were beaten to pain, with one already knocked unconscious.
No one answered her question.
Su He didn’t expect an answer either; she searched one of the n’s body and found a cell phone, then she noticed the familiar tattoo on their wrists.
So these people were related to that X organization Siyang talked about before.
At that mont, her phone in her pocket rang.
She frowned slightly and picked it up.
Before she could speak, a crying voice from Jiang You ca through, “Sister-in-law, co quickly, Siyang is injured.”
Her expression darkened: “Where are you?”
“I…I don’t know where this is, I was scared because you didn’t return and went to look for you.
I rember walking straight and taking a left.”
“I understand, stay where you are, I’ll co now.”
After hanging up, she knocked the guy unconscious and turned to leave.
Just as she ran out of the alley, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed her.
As she was about to react, a familiar male voice said, “Wife, it’s .”
Surprise flickered in Su He’s eyes, and under the dim light, she recognized the familiar face of the man.
“What are you doing here?”
Jiang Yan is the owner of Gold-plated Club, where a fight had just broken out.
The manager, while reviewing surveillance footage, saw Jiang You’s figure and inford him.
He saw the video, saw both Jiang You and Su He.
Sothing was off with their expressions as they ran into the ergency exit; that’s why he was here.
Jiang Yan was followed by Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi.
“Why such a rush?
Huh?” Instead of answering, the man questioned.
“Rescuing soone!”
Su He didn’t waste words, pushed his hand away, and ran towards another alley.
When they found Jiang You and Xing Siyang, Xing Siyang had already lost so much blood that he fell into unconsciousness, unresponsive to Jiang You calling him.
In the hospital.
Xing Siyang was rushed into surgery.
“Wuwu… Sister-in-law, Siyang won’t be alright, will he?
He… he lost so much blood.” Jiang You clung to Su He, still sowhat scared.
Su He patted her back, comforting her, “Don’t worry, he will be fine.”
Jiang You’s white clothes had been dyed red, but she was unwilling to change and leave the surgery entrance.
Su He had no choice but to let her be.
Beside them, Jiang Yan knitted his brows, watching his sister holding his wife and crying profusely; outsiders might think the person in surgery was soone special to her by the way she was crying.
When did this girl care so much about a man?
He wanted to ask, but the timing wasn’t right.
Before long, Su He’s phone rang.
She checked and saw it was from Song Shi.
“Hello.”
“Miss Su, our young lady has safely returned ho.”
“Good, got it.”
On the way to the hospital, she asked Song Shi to send Jing Xuan back first, not to let her stay there for too long, as she was afraid Jing Xuan might run into Lu Zhiyang again.
The most serious wound Xing Siyang sustained was in his abdon, and the operation took three hours to complete.
The leading surgeon ca out.
“Director Qian, how is it going?” Su He stepped forward and asked.
“The patient has two wounds, one on the arm and one in the abdon, injuring the spleen.
However, since he was brought in promptly and you stopped the bleeding in ti, there is no significant danger.
Now, we’re just waiting for the patient to wake up before we can transfer him back to the general ward.”
Su He imdiately let out a sigh of relief, “Good, thank you.”
“It’s nothing, this is our job after all.”
Jiang You also breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan side-eyed Jiang You and said indifferently, “Can you go change your clothes now?”
Seeing her just now, looking as though her soul wasn’t present, his heart sank.
He always felt as if the cabbage he had raised was about to be…
On hearing her elder brother’s voice, Jiang You pursed her lips and gave a sowhat guilty ‘oh’.
As soon as Jiang You left,
Su He noticed his dark expression.
“What’s wrong?”
The man furrowed his brows, looking at her and asked, “What is the relationship between Jiang You and Xing Siyang?”
Su He raised her eyebrows, puzzled, and responded, “They’re just friends, what else could be their relationship?”
Su He said this because she wasn’t on the sa wavelength as Jiang Yan at the mont.
“Didn’t you see how heartbroken she cried?”
“I saw it, what about it?
They’re friends; it’s perfectly normal for her to be worried and cry, right?”
It’s because Jiang You was frightened, she hasn’t experienced anything like this before, and she is friends with Xing Siyang, so worrying and crying are normal, isn’t it?
“Then why aren’t you crying?”
“Why should I cry?”
“Aren’t you friends as well?”
“Big brother, worrying about soone doesn’t only manifest by crying.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
He suddenly realized why her emotions were so slow to catch on – not only was she slow with her own feelings, but she also couldn’t see through others’.
He reached out, drew her close into his arms, and while looking down at her, his voice low and husky asked, “Who are you calling big brother, hmm?”
That “hmm” carried a hint of danger, which she could feel.
She cleared her throat and deflectingly replied, “I just said it casually.”
No sooner had her words fallen than he leaned in and took a bite of her red lips.
She hissed out in pain.
Then, the man chastised in a low voice, “Call husband, not big brother, show so respect.”
“…”
Suddenly, she exclaid,
Jiang Yan was startled, only to hear her say, “Oh no, I forgot to pick up my son at the old house!”
She had completely forgotten she was supposed to pick up Su Yimo from the old house.
“…”
“You don’t need to go pick him up; he can find his own way back.” The man spoke lightly.
Jiang Yan realized having a sudden son wasn’t so great, mainly because he was too much hassle.
If Su Yimo knew his own father was beginning to resent his presence at this mont, he probably would imdiately run away from ho with Su He.
And his guess wasn’t wrong; when Su Yimo wasn’t picked up on ti by Su He, he had already had the chauffeur from the old house take him back to Moon Gift Villa.
Su He blinked, staring at his stern features and asked, “Why do I feel like you sowhat resent the presence of your son?”
Jiang Yan chuckled but didn’t answer, though his aning was sowhat clear.
“Jiang Yan, don’t forget, he hasn’t recognized you as his father yet,” Su He reminded.
Jiang Yan sighed slightly, “He is a child born to you and , of course I love him, but he can’t just keep making us sleep in separate rooms, can he?
Mrs.
Jiang, don’t you feel sad and lonely staying in an empty room every night?”
Su He responded very straightforwardly, “Why should I feel sad and lonely?
I’ve been living like this for over twenty years.”
Her matter-of-fact tone left Jiang Yan montarily at a loss for words.
He tightened his embrace a little more.
His dark, profound eyes looked into hers and said, “Tonight, we are not going back.”
Su He exclaid, “Not going back?
Then where are we going?”
The man’s thin lips curved into a smile as he responded, “Mrs.
Jiang, your husband has more than one house.”
“…”
The man leaned down to kiss her cheeks and the edge of her ear, eliciting a shiver from Su He, a sensation of tingling spreading across her skin.
“We need so ti for ourselves too, otherwise how would I ever capture the heart of Mrs.
Jiang?”
Su He: “…”
Huh, who would have thought that President Jiang, in order to enjoy alone ti with his wife, would shun even his own son, making it impossible to return ho.
Who would believe it if told?
