Although Su Yuanke had been psychologically prepared for this day to co, when it finally happened to him, he still felt a heavy heart.
But... compared to the likes of Chu Zheng and his wife, perhaps he should consider himself lucky, right? Heh... Not getting what you want makes you want it more, and getting it makes you want even more. Life, damn it, life is really fucking frustrating!
I still don't know who that guy from yesterday was. He actually knew the Su Family's cultivation technique, and... if I heard correctly, the girl with him seed to have ntioned the na Chu Shiyao?
Chu Shiyao... isn't she Chu Zheng's daughter? Could it be a coincidence?
No, it must not be a coincidence. They ntioned Tiancheng Pharmaceutical at the ti and then Chu Shiyao, which ans... that girl still didn't heed her father's final warning?
Sigh... whatever, I myself am just like a Bodhisattva crossing the river, better not overthink things. I'll let Grandpa cast a divination for , see what I should do now, see if I can get through this calamity first.
All the way, Su Yuanke's mind was always in a ss, constantly feeling that there were eyes watching his every move from places he couldn't see.
After changing taxis several tis and making several loops, Su Yuanke finally got out of the car, quickly walking into the building that was supposed to give him so peace, yet his inner panic not only didn't diminish, but the closer he got to the third floor, the stronger his unease beca.
Taking the last three steps in one stride, Su Yuanke, unlike usual, didn't wait for Grandpa to open the door after knocking, but directly pulled out a key to open it.
The door opened, and Su Yuanke was initially slightly stunned. He didn't expect there to be guests at Grandpa's ho. When he saw the two people on the sofa and at Grandpa's bedroom door, he frowned tightly.
This... isn't she the woman by that guy's side at the pharmacy yesterday? How can she be here? And how can there be two? Are they twins? Or am I hallucinating due to too much stress?
Standing at the door, Su Yuanke frowned, looking at Qin Ruojing on the sofa, then at Qin Ruoying by the bedroom door, and finally realized they must be twins. A glance inadvertently swept over a beautifully packaged gift box on the floor, and his pupils instinctively shrunk.
Isn't that the new "Rejuvenating Pill" released by Tiancheng Group?
Since these two won are here, then... that guy from yesterday must be here too!
Damn it! What the hell is going on! Could that guy be in Grandpa's room? What the hell is he up to!
Just as Su Yuanke was thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice, the sa voice as the man he t at the pharmacy yesterday!
"Old Master Su!"
This voice sounded extrely anxious, and Su Yuanke's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't afford to think carefully anymore; with a bang, he slamd the door shut and rushed into the room.
Su Yuanke initially wanted to rush straight into Su Luo's bedroom, but hesitated slightly when passing the sofa, then redirected his target to Qin Ruojing, grabbing her neck with his left hand and picking up a fruit knife from the coffee table with his right.
"Who are you people!" Su Yuanke shouted loudly.
"What do you want to do!" Qin Ruoying simultaneously cried out.
"Let her go!" The bedroom door where Su Luo was was pushed open forcefully, the door slamming against the wall with a bang, and Chu Ge's voice followed closely.
On his face, there was shockingly bright red blood, trailing down his cheeks.
All of this sounds complicated, but it actually took just two or three seconds, and no one expected such a sudden change.
Su Yuanke was now standing behind Qin Ruojing, choking her neck with his left arm, and the tip of the knife in his right hand pressed against the other side of her neck, his gaze coldly fixed on Chu Ge and Qin Ruoying at the bedroom door, his expression filled with wariness and hostility.
"Where is my Grandpa? What did you do to him!"
Su Yuanke shouted forcefully, his heart full of suspicion and anger. Faced with this situation, especially seeing the blood on Chu Ge's face, he couldn't think calmly, and his already very bad mood was on the verge of collapse.
At this mont, the figure Su Yuanke most wanted to see appeared in his line of sight—Su Luo, holding onto the door fra, also stepped out of the room.
"Cough, cough... Yuanke, put the knife... down, he didn't do anything... to , you misunderstood."
Su Luo's voice sounded very weak, with blood also at the corners of his mouth and on his clothes. Even though he said that, Su Yuanke's brow still didn't relax, his heart and eyes still filled with suspicion.
"I told you to let go of that girl! Are you deaf!"
Su Luo saw that Su Yuanke remained unmoved, shouted loudly, his face flushed red, and began to cough violently again.
Su Yuanke hesitated for a few seconds, finally slowly released his left arm that was choking Qin Ruojing's neck, as well as the fruit knife that could have taken Qin Ruojing's life with just a small push forward.
Chu Ge kept a close watch on Su Yuanke's every move, approaching Qin Ruojing neither fast nor slow. Fortunately, until he reached Qin Ruojing's side and took her hand, Su Yuanke did not make any extra movents.
Holding Qin Ruojing's hand, Chu Ge finally felt sowhat relieved. Perhaps this could be considered a blessing in disguise; the already bad situation did not beco worse.
The blood on Chu Ge's face was indeed Su Luo's, but he hadn't done anything to harm Su Luo, at least not intentionally.
Just now, Su Luo suddenly sprayed out a mouthful of blood. Chu Ge himself didn't know what was going on, but since Su Luo spit blood during the divination he was doing for him, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem like a good on. He only managed to shout out a warning, and the next mont Su Yuanke rushed into the room, leading to what happened.
Seeing Su Yuanke also basically confird Chu Ge's suspicions from yesterday. When Su Yuanke uttered the word "grandfather," it completely proved that he was indeed a mber of the Su Family.
If it were any other situation, just for Su Yuanke holding a knife to Qin Ruojing's neck, even if Chu Ge didn't know the reason, he would definitely not let it go without a fight.
But now, since Old Man Su Luo suddenly spat blood and Qin Ruojing is unhard, it was clearly not the ti for him to be concerned with that.
To be honest, Chu Ge tried to put himself in Su Yuanke's shoes. Even if he couldn't entirely forgive, at least he could understand Su Yuanke's behavior. He didn't have a grandfather, but if he saw a man with a bloody face at Yu Jingsong's door, he too would be enraged on the spot.
By this ti, Su Yuanke had already gone to Su Luo's side. He wanted to say sothing, but Su Luo waved his hand to stop him from talking.
For a mont, no one in the room spoke. They all held different thoughts as they warily observed each other's actions. In the heavy atmosphere, only Su Luo's coughing echoed continuously.
After about a minute passed, Su Luo finally stopped coughing, took a deep breath, and showed a forced smile to the people in the room.
Su Yuanke had already been extrely worried; seeing this, he quickly asked, "Old Man, what's the matter with you?"
"It's nothing, maybe just so unknown ailnt from old age. Suddenly felt tightness in my chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood, which led to this misunderstanding. You kid, why did you pull a knife without asking questions?"
Su Luo waved his hand, speaking lightly, although it carried little persuasion for the people in the room.
Seeing no one responding, Su Luo said again, "Yuanke, let introduce you. These are your brother's friends. They've just returned from your brother's place. These things were brought over with their help."
Su Yuanke nodded to Chu Ge and the Qin sisters, "I apologize for earlier; I was a bit impulsive."
Though his words were polite, Su Yuanke's expression didn't carry much apology, more of a sense of suspicion.
After introducing Chu Ge and others to Su Yuanke, Su Luo turned to Chu Ge and said, "Little Chu, Yuanke is one of my grandsons, sa generation as Yuanzhou. He's a bit quick-tempered and doesn't quite understand things. Don't hold it against him."
"Old Man, you're too kind."
Since Su Luo spoke like this, what else could Chu Ge say? He forced a smile and nodded to Su Yuanke.
To Su Yuanke's ears, those words didn't sit well. After all, he was in his forties. In his view, calling Chu Ge and the others kids wasn't too far off, but the way Su Luo spoke made it sound like Chu Ge was his elder.
Though unwilling, Su Yuanke's mind was already chaotic enough. He couldn't dwell on this, only hoping Chu Ge and the others would leave quickly and not waste ti and interfere with his important matters.
Su Yuanke exhaled and said, "Grandfather, there's sothing I'd like to discuss with you privately."
Such words basically indicated that Chu Ge and the others were being asked to leave. Since he wanted to talk privately with Su Luo, outsiders like Chu Ge and the others should be going about their business elsewhere, right?
However, as soon as Su Yuanke finished his sentence, Su Luo shook his head, "Whatever you want to say, hold off. I still have so words to finish with Little Chu."
Su Yuanke's expression froze, and he said anxiously, "Grandfather, it really is urgent."
"Little Chu, co with ."
Ignoring Su Yuanke, Su Luo said to Chu Ge, then turned and walked back to his bedroom.
Chu Ge was initially worried about leaving the Qin sisters alone with Su Yuanke in the living room, but when he saw Qin Ruojing give him an encouraging look, he nodded and followed Su Luo.
