Chapter 88

Even a tiger won't eat its cubs

A black luxury car silently pulled up in front of the Su family villa.

Shen Yi pushed open the car door, exuding a terrifyingly low pressure, and walked straight inside.

Liu Xiaolan and Su Guowei were both in the living room, surrounded by servants taking care of them.

However, the two of them looked rather disheveled at the moment.

Su Guowei had obvious bruises on his face, and there was still redness and swelling at the corner of his mouth.

Liu Xiaolan was even worse off; she was sitting in a wheelchair, her face pale.

One leg was lying unnaturally, indicating that it was broken and the injury was obviously serious.

The butler rushed in, his face grim, and said, "Master, Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen is here."

Su Guowei was taken aback when he heard that Shen Yi had come to visit so suddenly.

Shen Yi walked into the living room, his eyes scanning the two people back and forth.

The injuries prove that something did indeed happen at the Su family's old residence.

Their worries about Su Qiu intensified.

Upon seeing this, Su Guowei quickly stood up and was about to force a polite smile to greet him when he was interrupted by Shen Yi's icy voice.

"Where is Su Qiu?"

Shen Yi stood tall and straight, his gaze sharp as a knife, shooting directly at the two of them without any beating around the bush.

Su Guowei's expression froze instantly, and he subconsciously glanced at Liu Xiaolan.

The latter shook his head at him without saying a word.

Su Guowei then composed himself and forced a fake smile onto his face:

"Mr. Shen, are you talking about Qiuqiu?"

She finished her meal with us and then went home by herself; we don't know where she went.

The Su family currently only considers Su Qiu and Shen Yi's relationship to be that they know each other; there is no other relationship between them.

But we learned it from Su Qian's words.

Su Qiu always disrupted their plans and valued Shen Yi very much.

Liu Xiaolan also wore a gentle yet helpless expression, her voice soft:

"Yes, Mr. Shen, Qiuqiu left right after dinner, and we really don't know where she went."

She probably still resents us and is likely hiding. We're also anxiously looking for her.

"Is that so?" Shen Yi sneered, his eyes practically overflowing with mockery. "Do you think I, Shen Yi, am a fool?"

He took a step closer, his aura growing increasingly fierce:

"How did a battle happen at the Su family's old residence?"

And why go to the old house to eat? Can't we eat here?

Also, how did you two get all these injuries?

These words were spoken.

Su Guowei and Liu Xiaolan's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.

Regarding what happened at the villa, they, together with the Lu family, have clearly used their connections to block the news.

How did Shen Yi know?

Seeing the two men's expressions freeze instantly, Shen Yi's anger flared even more, and he shouted sharply:

"say!"

Su Guowei's heart skipped a beat at Shen Yi's imposing aura. He quickly forced a deeper smile and hurriedly defended himself:

"President Shen, please calm down! We really didn't know!"

Going back to the old house was just a way for the three of us to return to the warmth we used to have.

What happened at that old site was also an accident. It was a deliberate scheme by someone who coveted the Su family's wealth and thus took malicious action.

It has absolutely nothing to do with us!

"Isn't it a problem?" Shen Yi retorted. "The Su family's old residence is far away; killing someone would be easy, wouldn't it?"

Liu Xiaolan's voice carried a deliberately feigned sense of shock:

"Yes, Mr. Shen, we also survived that robbery by sheer luck. Guowei protected me, which is why he was injured like this..."

Qiuqiu seemed unhappy during dinner that day and left before the meal was over. We really don't know where she went.

She sighed, her eyes slightly reddening, and her tone became increasingly earnest:

"Speaking of which, we also want to have a good talk with Qiuqiu and go back to how things were before."

After all, he had raised her for so many years, and even if she wasn't his biological daughter, he had long developed feelings for her.

What parent in the world doesn't love their children?

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how could we possibly harm her?

Shen Yi frowned, a slight wavering rising in his heart.

Yes, no matter what, Su Qiu is the daughter they've raised for over ten years.

Could they really be going to take such drastic measures?

Nobody's that ruthless, right?

But if Su Qiu hadn't gotten into trouble, where would she have gone?

Did he leave without saying goodbye and go abroad again, like before?

He's her man now, he can't just leave without saying goodbye, can he?

Shen Yi felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't understand it.

Just as he was pondering this, Liu Xiaolan quietly gave Su Guowei a wink.

Su Guowei understood immediately and feigned hesitation before speaking:

"Mr. Shen, if you really want to find Qiuqiu... perhaps you could ask Lu Chen?"

Shen Yi suddenly looked up: "Lu Chen?"

"Yes," Su Guowei nodded, his tone as if he were recalling something.

"When Qiuqiu was having dinner with us, she mentioned Lu Chen, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that there had been some misunderstandings in the past..."

Judging from her expression, she might not have let go of Lu Chen yet, and might have gone to see him.

"Go find Lu Chen?!"

These words were like a spark falling into a powder keg, instantly igniting Shen Yi's rage and turning his face ashen.

He turned and walked out, his steps quick and heavy, his anger rising to the top of his head.

Damn woman!

I'm her boyfriend, how could she possibly go to see another man?

It's that guy Lu Chen again!

In terms of money, is Shen Yi lacking?

In terms of looks, is Lu Chen even half as good as him?

Shen Yi stormed out the door, completely unaware of the knowing glance exchanged between the Su couple behind him.

Su Guowei watched his figure disappear outside the door, then immediately walked to the side and picked up his phone.

He dialed a number and said in a low voice:

"Lu Chen, that kid Shen Yi has already gone to your place. You'd better prepare in advance."

A steady voice, tinged with certainty, came from the other end of the phone:

"Don't worry, father-in-law, with Qianqian here, everything will be fine."

Su Guowei hung up the phone and exchanged a glance with Liu Xiaolan.

Both of them wore calculating smiles.

This show has only just begun.

……

Shen Yi drove at breakneck speed, the roar of the engine like the surging anger within him.

The scenery outside the car window rushed past, but Su Guowei's words kept echoing in his mind.

Every word felt like a needle pricking his nerves.

Does Su Qiu really not have given up on Lu Chen?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he forcefully suppressed it.

No, no!

Su Qiu came to save him.

She clearly said that she only wanted him.

She even dated herself.

How could she possibly still have feelings for that guy Lu Chen?

The Su family must be lying to him!

Shen Yi slammed his fist on the steering wheel, his anger flaring even more.

How dare a small family like the Su family fool him like this?

If it weren't for some invisible constraint from the plot, one couldn't easily take action against them.

He really wanted to go back right now and tear that hypocritical couple to pieces!

Gouge out their eyes and cut out their tongues!

But right now, finding Su Qiu is the most important thing.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Regardless of whether what the Su family said is true or false, he has to go to the Lu family.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, is Su Qiu really there?

The car turned a corner and sped off towards the Lu family villa.

Shen Yi's eyes were as cold as ice.

He had to see Su Qiu today and get to the bottom of everything.
