Su Xing reluctantly explained, "Actually, someone took my nephew away."
"Your nephew? He's my friend. I need to ask him something and see if I can get in touch with him."
"Oh, so you really care about this nephew of yours! Is he your boyfriend?" Su Bo said with a hint of teasing in his voice.
Su Xing's silence confirmed there was some truth to it.
With a smile, Su Bo continued, "That's not a big deal. I can just make a phone call to check. But as the boyfriend of our family's eldest daughter, shouldn't your uncle also do some investigating?"
"When are you bringing him home for us to meet? Just so you know, we don't want any troublemakers in the Su Family!"
"Since this has escalated to your uncle and you can't reach him, what exactly is going on?"
Su Xing felt a bit embarrassed explaining. However, since she was asking for help, she needed to provide some context: "It's about some official business. I think he might be missing his uncle."
"But I'm in a bit of a hurry and can't reach him, which is why I'm contacting you."
As for meeting up, that's still a long way off. Su Xing was somewhat aware of Shen Jingyu's attitude towards the Shen Family, which made her worry about how the uncle and nephew would get along. With her own mother Deng Xiaoya's example in mind, she wondered if the Shen Family would have the same attitude. After all, in Su Xing's eyes, Shen Jingyu's heart was still quite fragile. She had to protect him; no one could hurt him!
"Don't worry, Xiao Xing. I'll call right now and let you know what I find out," Su Bo said reassuringly.
"Thank you so much, Uncle," Su Xing replied before hanging up. She stared silently at the electric door in front of her and the solemn gate beyond it, feeling anxious and uncertain about whether he was even there.
There was actually a more convenient way to reach Shen Huai Min—by contacting Du Gang. He would definitely be able to find him faster. Su Xing thought it might not be appropriate to reach out to him.
Meanwhile, in the car following Su Xing, Luo Hao was puzzled. "Is this sister-in-law here on stakeout? Is Brother Yu inside?"
"Should we contact Rong team and get some confirmation?" Luo Hao suggested.
"Let’s have him observe for now," came the reply.
In that moment of waiting, Su Xing received information from Randy's investigation.
First, Liu Jia had recently stored away a batch worth one million.
Second, Sun Zhifei had been diagnosed with bone metastasis from brain cancer three months ago. The doctors predicted he didn't have long to live.
These two points were enough for them to use as foundational conditions to stir up this incident.
Su Xing was not surprised that there was something sinister behind the incident; what puzzled her was who exactly was targeting Shen Jingyu. Besides the people from Shen Shiyan Tuan, could Lawrence also be involved? Su Xing had a nagging feeling that the dangerous man was about to return, and he wouldn’t spare anyone around her.
After instructing Randy to continue investigating the information she wanted to know, Su Xing received a call from Su Bo.
"Xingxing, they are indeed together, just in the office of the City Bureau. You can go over; Brother Huai Min said he would give you a heads-up to let you in."
"Okay, Uncle, I'm right at the door and heading in now. I’ll visit your home later to thank you!"
Su Bo chuckled, "Are you that eager? Already at the door? This seems like a calculated move."
Su Xing pushed the door open and got out of the car, carrying not only her bag but also a simple first aid kit. It was as if she truly came out of concern for his injuries.
Su Bo hung up the phone, still in a bit of a daze. He had been surprised when Shen Huai Min answered his call but didn’t dwell on it too much; after all, he probably already knew about Su Xing’s existence. After all, with someone like Du Gang—a fast-talking sycophant—by his side, it was hard not to.
On the other hand, Su Bo took the time to log onto his phone and check all news related to Shen Jingyu. He realized that his memory regarding Shen Huai Min's nephew was somewhat hazy; it turned out it was because of that man's son from years ago.
Su Xing hadn’t expected that one phone call would lead to such extensive communication between their families. As she locked her car and walked towards the security desk at the City Bureau, she noticed Luo Hao’s car door opening behind her.
To her surprise, she saw a familiar figure pushing through the main door—wasn’t that Shen Jingyu?
Had they secretly arranged this meeting?
Just as Su Xing was about to fill out her registration information with the guard, a small door opened from inside. A warm hand grasped her wrist, bringing back a familiar feeling.
"Star, you’re here," Shen Jingyu said with unmistakable joy.
Su Xing felt warmth in her heart as she worried for him, bringing along a first aid kit and quickly contacting her uncle to appear at the City Bureau's entrance.
Anyone would feel touched by such concern; at least Shen Jingyu felt delighted and moved by her presence.
Su Xing’s eyes widened in surprise. "A Yu? How did you get out?"
Shen Jingyu chuckled lightly. "I’m not a detainee; I just came to gather some information. Why can’t I come out?"
"And your phone?" Su Xing's expression darkened.
"It ran out of battery."
"You can move freely but couldn’t charge your phone?"
It seemed she was getting annoyed now.
"My uncle kept me busy playing chess and wouldn’t let me leave."
At a critical moment, the shield that needs to be sold must be sold.
"Xing, you came specifically to help me change the dressing, right? I've been sitting on this hard bench all night, and my shoulder is stiff. I wonder if it will affect my recovery."
Su Xing maintained a serious expression; playing hide-and-seek was his nature. He had never cared about anyone, so there was no need for him to report to anyone. He could come and go as he pleased.
"Are you two coming in?"
The guard's voice broke the silence. His phone rang a few times before he seemed to receive instructions and said, "Shen Xian, you can't leave yet. Miss, if you want to go in, you should go with him."
Shen Jingyu frowned slightly; it was another arrangement from his uncle.
Xing looked at Shen Jingyu cautiously. She hadn't realized that a small issue she overlooked was actually something he cared about.
From now on, she needed to keep in touch with him at all times.
"I'm sorry to worry you, but shouldn't you trust your man a little more?"
Shen Jingyu pulled Su Xing toward the office building, avoiding the personnel passing by as he softly reassured the woman whose expression was less than pleasant.
"Trust you? Trust someone who can stay in the station all night without any connection?!"
Su Xing's words were sharp, but what she really meant was that Shen Jingyu had also been manipulated.
However, she hadn't considered discussing this aspect with Shen Jingyu or Shen Huai Min at all.
Shen Jingyu felt a lump in his throat; this situation was indeed quite embarrassing.
But he couldn't completely blame himself; with his identity concealed and intent on catching the black hand behind the scenes while reorganizing the Shen Shi Yan Tuan, he had his own troubles to bear. Moreover, there was also his high-ranking uncle who loved to stir up trouble.
When Su Xing was pulled into the independent office building by Shen Jingyu, she immediately felt several pairs of eyes on her as the door opened.
In her younger days, she had gotten into fights and ended up in places like this often, but most of those situations were resolved next door. Now, being scrutinized by so many men in black hats made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Jingyu sensed the unease radiating from her. He had already returned to his cold demeanor and scanned the faces around him before naturally wrapping an arm around Su Xing's shoulders as they ascended the stairs together.
He hadn't expected Su Xing to be so well-behaved at this moment.
Unable to resist teasing her, Shen Jingyu said, "What kind of guilty deeds have you been up to? Are you feeling so guilty here that you're about to confess?"
