60: Chapter 60 Master Steps on a Mine 60: Chapter 60 Master Steps on a Mine Outside the grand gate, Young Master Jiang and his servant had been waiting for a good ten minutes.
The doorkeeper of the Su Family still hadn’t let them in.
“Master,” Jiang Feng glanced at the rearview mirror and said cautiously, “the Young Madam might be taking a nap.
It would be good for us to wait a little longer.”
He was afraid that the young master would grow impatient with the wait.
In fact, Young Master Jiang’s face was dark not because he was impatient, but because he was contemplating sothing.
He swallowed, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
“Jiang Feng, tell , will she get angry because I ca to the Su Family so abruptly?” the man’s deep and magnetic voice resounded.
Jiang Feng was baffled.
He did not expect the Master to ask this question and didn’t know how to answer.
His mind raced to find the right response.
“Master, I think the Young Madam won’t be angry because you are the son-in-law of the Su Family, and even more so, the lawful husband of the Young Madam.
The Young Madam probably belongs to the slow-to-warm-up type of girl.
Generally, these types of people need the other party to take the initiative for anything to happen.
So, Master, if you want the Young Madam to pay more attention to you, then you will need to show up in front of her more often and cultivate affection.”
After speaking, Jiang Feng took a quick glance at the rearview mirror, fearing he had misspoken a single word.
But the expression on their Master’s face did not soften.
Next, he heard the man in the back seat say: “But she says she has a disorder that makes her incapable of feelings.”
“Ah?” Jiang Feng was sowhat dumbfounded.
The Young Madam has a disorder that makes her incapable of feelings?
Then…
At that mont, the large iron gate of the Su Family opened, interrupting the conversation between the master and servant.
The doorkeeper called out, “You may enter now.”
In the Su Family living room, only Su He and Su Zhimian were present.
Young Master Jiang, clad in a dark suit, strode in with his long legs, his whole being exuding his preciousness.
He was like a cold and aloof flower on a high ridge.
Behind him, Jiang Feng was carrying a pile of gifts.
Su Zhimian raised an eyebrow with interest and curved his lips in a slight smile, starting to speak: “Yo, the brother-in-law has arrived.
Why bring so many gifts?
If I didn’t know any better, I’d think it was New Year’s.”
Su He: “…”
Su Zhimian was usually serious, so why was he not being serious now?
Calling him brother-in-law?
Knowing full well she intended to divorce Young Master Jiang, why call him so familiarly!
Perhaps it was the term “brother-in-law” that delighted Young Master Jiang’s mood in an instant.
He rarely showed a smile on his face and greeted Su Zhimian, “Big brother.”
Su Zhimian was sowhat flattered.
Although the Su Family’s enterprise was also not inferior to the Jiang Family, Young Master Jiang could be considered a dragon among n in the business world.
In the business realm, if Young Master Jiang claid to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.
He might just be the only one Young Master Jiang would willingly address as “big brother.”
Thrilled, Su Zhimian gave a contented “hm.”
Su He gave him a look that clearly said, “Can’t you be a bit more dignified?”
Feeling a bit exposed by his own sister, Su Zhimian touched his nose and coughed lightly, “Uncle Zhu, pour a cup of tea for Young Master Jiang.”
“Right away, Young Master.”
Uncle Zhu turned and went to the kitchen for a cup of tea.
During that ti, Su Zhimian said to him, “Grandpa and Grandma went to my place today, they’re not at the old Su Family house, so it’s up to , the eldest grandson, to entertain you.”
In fact, just a short while ago, Su Yiguo and He Jinyi took Su Yimo out of the old Su Family house through the back door.
Originally, Su Yiguo was supposed to temporarily take Su Yimo out of the old Su Family house to his place, but the two elders wanted to play with their great-grandson and did not want to et Young Master Jiang.
They left him behind to deal with Young Master Jiang.
After all, he was the son-in-law of the Su Family, and they had to leave soone respectable to host him, so as not to lose face for the Su Family.
Su Zhimian was the best candidate.
The auras of the two n contrasted—one soft but firm, the other exuding dominance.
“It’s all right, I’ll visit the elder Mr.
and Mrs.
Su another ti.
Today, I am here mainly to celebrate Susu’s birthday,” Young Master Jiang said.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was obvious that the two people opposite of him and Uncle Zhu, who had just brought out the tea cup, were stunned.
Sharp as he was, he imdiately sensed sothing was amiss.
Uncle Zhu thought to himself: Does the son-in-law not know the young Miss never celebrates her birthday?
Jiang Feng guessed in his heart: Could the Master have stepped on a landmine?
The following words from Su Zhimian confird his guess.
Su Zhimian looked at Young Master Jiang, teasingly saying, “Seems like the brother-in-law doesn’t know enough about our Susu, it seems the four years of marriage was in vain.”
Young Master Jiang’s eyebrows knitted slightly, his face stiffened, and a flash of panic that had never been seen before crossed his deep eyes.
He looked towards Su He, who appeared calm and composed.
A short while later, she slightly raised her lips and said, “Although today is my birthday, it is also the anniversary of my mother’s death, so I never celebrate my birthday.”
This was no secret in the Su Family.
Almost everyone from the Su Family, including the servants, knew this.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Jiang’s brain exploded.
He truly did not know.
No wonder she had never responded to any of the gifts he had sent in the past.
Jiang Feng was also stunned!
This was not just stepping on a landmine; it was stepping on an atomic bomb.
“I’m sorry, I…”
He imdiately offered an apology, but Su He interrupted him, “No, it’s fine, it’s normal for you not to know, and not everyone pays attention to these details.” She said: “After all, one’s attentiveness is reserved only for the person in their heart.”
After speaking, she gave him a look.
There were no fluctuations in her emotions, quite indifferent.
This was Young Master Jiang’s first ti ‘dying’ socially, and it was over sothing like this.
“Brother, I’m a bit tired; please entertain President Jiang well.”
After saying that, Su He stood up and went upstairs, leaving behind only her slender silhouette.
In his heart, Jiang Feng silently prayed for their Master; this was his first visit to the Young Madam’s parental ho, and it had turned out to be incredibly awkward.
This was unusual indeed.
And to be treated to her cold indifference.
But this ti, he was on the Young Madam’s side.
Watching him as his gaze followed Su He’s retreating figure with unstinting interest, Su Zhimian chuckled softly, “Only you would dare to provoke her at such a ti.
But, ignorance is no cri.”
Jiang Yan turned his head and their gazes t.
Indeed, Jiang Yan had a strong presence, and most people didn’t dare to make eye contact with him.
But as Su Zhimian, the brother-in-law, he also had his own aura and style.
Su Zhimian shifted the topic: “However, Jiang Yan, this is where you are wrong.
As Susu’s husband, and practically a mber of the Su Family, it’s surprising that you are unaware of this matter.
That doesn’t seem like sothing soone with your level of intelligence would do.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Su Zhimian’s words, but Jiang Yan couldn’t refute him.
Because what he said wasn’t wrong; it was the truth.
“I’m sorry, I truly neglected this,” he sincerely admitted with a good attitude.
Su Zhimian took advantage of the opening he gave, “Indeed, you have been neglectful.”
Su Zhimian casually touched his chin, staring at him with a look that suggested he had more to say but held back, scrutinizing him repeatedly: “Speaking of which, President Jiang, have you also been this neglectful towards Miss Tang from the Tang Family?”
The two elders of the Su Family were still unaware of the affair between Jiang Yan and Tang Sirou.
Previously, Su He had instructed that all negative news should be kept from the old couple.
Fortunately, the Old Madam and the old gentleman neither fancied using smartphones nor watching television.
With their free ti, they would read their respective books, or practice calligraphy, or perhaps water the flowers in the back garden, or take care of the vegetables they grew themselves, passing the ti.
Otherwise, if the Old Mr.
and Mrs.
Su had learned of the gossip involving Jiang Yan and the lady from the Tang Family, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the Su Family’s threshold today.
Su Zhimian suddenly asking this question was unexpected by Jiang Yan.
The competition between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law had begun.
Su He had stayed with the Su Family for two days and went directly back to the hospital to work on the third day.
As soon as she stepped into the main hall of the hospital on the first floor, she heard a commotion coming from the ergency building next door.
She followed the noise and saw a man holding a female nurse hostage, with a knife to the nurse’s throat.
As she approached, she heard the man shout at the security guard: “Don’t co any closer!
Your misdiagnosis killed my child!
Call your leader, I want an explanation now!”
One of the older nurses tried to calm him down, “Mr.
Qin, please don’t be impulsive.
We’ve already contacted our leaders.
Please let our nurse go first.
Let’s sit down and talk calmly, or you can put down the knife first.
Please, do not get agitated and hurt our nurse…”
Su He watched from the side for a while and then casually asked an ergency nurse about what had happened.
Almost everyone in the hospital knew her.
The ergency nurse said, “Last night, his wife fainted at ho with bleeding below the waist, and her family brought her to the ergency departnt.
The woman was already four months pregnant.
She had a severe hemorrhage on the way here, and the child couldn’t be saved.
Our ergency doctors diagnosed that she miscarried due to taking contraindicated drugs, but he didn’t believe it.
He claid his wife fainted due to anemia and that the child was fine when they arrived at the hospital, but then the baby was gone once they were in the operating room.
He’s accusing us of killing his child.
This morning, he ca to the nurses’ station very agitated and grabbed a nurse as a hostage on a whim.”
Su He nodded upon hearing this.
“Okay, I understand.
Where is his wife now?” Su He asked.
“She went through a uterine curettage last night and is still lying in bed,” said the ergency nurse.
“By the way, Director Su, there’s one more thing.
His wife seed very emotionally stable.
Even after finding out about the loss of her child, she didn’t cry or make a fuss, showing absolutely no sign of being upset.”
“It’s not that I want to speculate about the patient, but she really is too calm, which is sowhat abnormal,” the nurse added after her explanation.
“I understand.
Go fetch her dical records for ,” Su He ordered.
The nurse replied, “Okay.”
The nurse went to get the dical records and quickly returned.
“Here you are, Director Su.”
Su He quickly reviewed the records, noting that she had already had two prior miscarriages and had undergone curettage procedures.
She beca pregnant again every six months, only to miscarry again.
Su He frowned slightly, “Has the police been called?”
“They were called five minutes ago.”
“Ah…”
“Blood, blood…”
At that mont, several piercing screams of horror and panic rang out.
It was the passersby on the scene who were screaming.
Although the crowd was kept back by security, many people still gathered to watch from not too far away.
“Mr.
Qin, don’t be impulsive,” the head of the security team shouted, “Think about your family, your wife; she’s still lying in bed waiting for you to take care of her.
What will your family and your wife do if sothing happens to you?”
These words had no effect on Qin Jun; he didn’t listen to a single one.
He tightly restrained the female nurse in front of him, and with his other hand, he held a dagger against the nurse’s neck, his entire body in a state of high tension.
If he was not careful, the knife would slash across the nurse’s throat.
He glared at the security guard and yelled, “Get lost, don’t talk to with these hypocritical words, I want to see your leader!”
At this mont, the bloodstains on the nurse’s neck deepened, and bright red blood began to ooze out along the edge of the dagger.
The man’s skin was dark, his face gaunt, his eyes bloodshot, with dark circles beneath, and his hair disheveled; his expression was ferocious and sinister at this mont.
The female nurse dared not move at all; her face was covered with tears, and only her sobbing could be heard.
Just then, Su He suddenly appeared and shouted, “Qin Jun, let’s have a talk.”
Unlike others, she kept a certain distance from Qin Jun, standing only three steps away from him.
Qin Jun’s face changed dramatically, and he beca instantly alert.
He half-hid his head behind the nurse, his eyes fixed on Su He who had just appeared.
Su He’s approach made him feel an invisible pressure.
He shouted at Su He, “Don’t co any closer!”
Soone angrily comnted, “Who is she?
Her rash approach is equivalent to provoking this man, isn’t it?”
Su He looked at him with a calm deanor and even smiled at him.
She spoke directly, “Qin Jun, it’s not too late to turn back now.”
When Qin Jun heard that she ca to negotiate, his emotions flared up again, and his grip on the knife beca heavier, “Get lost, I want to see the hospital leader.”
“Qin Jun, you have already committed the cri of intentional injury!”
Su He’s tone was serious and cold, her presence very strong.
“According to relevant regulations, you are currently only guilty of minor injury, punishable by up to three years of fixed-term imprisonnt, but—”
She shifted her tone, “If you don’t stop now, you will be committing a serious cri of intentional injury, punishable by ten years or more of fixed-term imprisonnt, life imprisonnt, or even the death penalty!”
Qin Jun was montarily intimidated by her aura.
Suddenly, Su He raised her hand and pointed towards the nurse’s neck, asking him a question, “Qin Jun, do you know where your knife is positioned right now?”
At this mont, Qin Jun’s mind was sowhat dazed; he stared at her with vigilant eyes but did not reply.
Su He said, “Your knife is currently against the carotid artery of our dical staff, a very important blood vessel in the human body that supplies blood to our entire brain.
If you apply a little more force with that knife, she will bleed out on the spot, and you will beco a murderer!”
While everyone held their breath in suspense, it was visibly apparent that the knife pressing against the nurse’s neck loosened.
He was the kind of person who responded to firmness not softness.
Seizing the mont, Su He pressed on, “Qin Jun, you are well aware of why your wife Liu Xiaoling miscarried.
This is not her first unexpected miscarriage, am I right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Qin Jun’s gaze start to evade.
This made Su He even more certain of her guess.
The reason for his actions today was sothing only he himself knew.
Su He once again spoke, “Qin Jun, you now have only two paths in front of you: pull back from the precipice or fall into an abyss.”
