This time, Su Xianyu's fever came on fiercely. But as the high fever gradually subsided, the pressure and anxiety in her heart seemed to be released as well, and her mind became unusually clear.
No, she couldn't just slink away like this. She must get to the bottom of things!
Previously, the bullet comments had no idea that Lu Yunshen was actually Feng Lin's younger brother, right?
Its perspective and the amount of information it had were both limited to a certain extent, and some of its remarks were also based on personal subjective assumptions.
Su Xianyu raised her head and looked at the man who was busy moving the ornaments in the living room, trying hard to fill the empty space on the wall where the picture frame had been. A soft look flashed in her eyes.
Most importantly, towards Feng Lin, she could no longer simply treat him as a flat - character male protagonist that needed to be courted.
She must personally investigate the truth of this matter. It could also be considered an explanation for her own feelings.
With her mood no longer gloomy, Su Xianyu's body recovered at a faster pace.
"Okay, A Lin. It's just a minor cold. I'm completely fine now."
Looking at her who had already put on her coat, Feng Lin's eyes still faintly showed disapproval.
"Your fever just went down yesterday. Why don't you rest for a few more days? I'll send someone to help you manage the flower shop."
"But I'll be so bored staying at home alone." Su Xianyu's eyes drooped at the corners, looking pitiful. "The house is so empty, and there's no one to accompany me."
"I'll ask for leave from the hospital..."
"No!" She interrupted Feng Lin. "The patients are still waiting for you to perform the surgery. How can you just not go? Besides, my situation is not serious at all."
"I'm really completely recovered." Su Xianyu raised her right hand towards the sky. "I swear I won't overexert myself. I'll go home and rest on time."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Feng Lin finally didn't try to stop her again, and his eyebrows showed a sign of compromise.
"Boop."
Su Xianyu stepped back with a smile, getting ready to go out. "I knew it. Our A Lin is the best!"
Feng Lin raised his hand and touched his cheek. With red ears, he handed over a scarf. "Put this on. It can..."
Su Xianyu reached out and took it, then wrapped it around her neck. "Got it, got it. Keep warm."
After arriving at the flower shop, she watched the back of Feng Lin's departing car. After explaining the relevant matters to Xiaoshuang, she left again.
There were two parties involved. Since she couldn't directly ask Feng Lin, she would start from the other side.
But Ruan Sisi, who had already left the hotel, made her come up empty - handed this time. She had no choice but to secretly send someone to investigate.
She originally thought she would quickly find out Ruan Sisi's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, the news brought back was that the person was no longer in City A.
"Old K, I paid a huge sum of money. Is this the result you're bringing me?"
"But this person has really left the local area. She should have taken a flight and left on the day the incident happened. As for which city she specifically went to, we still need some time."
"Since you haven't found out yet, why did you ask me out?"
"Don't worry, employer. We're very professional. Although we haven't found the woman you want us to investigate, you might be interested in this person."
Old K from the detective agency took out a photo of a strange man and placed it on the table.
"Who is he?"
"This person is Li Hao. He used to be a servant in the Feng Mansion. But on the second day after something unusual happened in the Feng Mansion, he was beaten up and fired. I suspect he's involved in this matter."
"After investigation, he's also an old classmate of Ruan Sisi. Now he lives at No. 37, Fushun Street. He hasn't found a job and has been staying at home. You can start with him."
Su Xianyu put away the photo and nodded. "Okay, this is part of the balance. I'll naturally transfer the rest to you after the person I'm looking for is found."
"No problem."
Following the provided address, Su Xianyu quickly found Li Hao's residence.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Who is it?" A dejected and weak voice came from inside the house.
Although she didn't answer, with a creak, the door still opened.
The man had a mess of hair on his head, and the bruise on the corner of his mouth hadn't completely faded.
"Li Hao."
"Who are you? I don't know you." Looking at the strange woman outside the door, Li Hao's eyes were a bit vigilant.
Su Xianyu reached out and gently pushed him aside, then walked into the house by herself. "It doesn't matter. It's enough that I know you, an old classmate of Ruan Sisi."
Seeing this, Li Hao closed the door and followed her into the room.
"Did Sisi send you to find me? I knew she wouldn't forget about me!"
"Unfortunately, you're wrong." Su Xianyu shook her head. "Ruan Sisi didn't even remember you. She took a flight and left City A the next day."
Hearing these heart - rending words, Li Hao completely lost hope, and his eyes turned red with irritation.
But having worked in the wealthy area for a long time, looking at the jewelry on the woman opposite that could be worth several years of his salary and her calm demeanor, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Then what are you here for? To laugh at me?"
"I'm not that idle." Su Xianyu showed him a way out. "You've been fired from the Feng Mansion. No family in City A would dare to hire you now. You've even started to default on your rent, right?"
Su Xianyu took out two stacks of red banknotes from her handbag and placed them on the table sincerely.
"I actually have a deal now. I just don't know if you're willing to do it."
Li Hao looked puzzled. "What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple. I just want to buy a few pieces of information from you. Why were you fired and even blacklisted by the Feng Mansion?"
He pursed his lips tightly and stared fixedly at the money on the table, but he still refused to speak.
Seeing this, Su Xianyu added another stack.
"Having too big an appetite will kill you."
Li Hao's Adam's apple rolled. "That night, I did something for Ruan Sisi. After being discovered, I was kicked out."
After saying that, he was about to reach out for the money, but his hand was pressed down on the table.
"Such a vague answer doesn't match the price I'm offering. I want to hear more details."
"I really don't know much." Li Hao said helplessly. "The people from the Feng Mansion interrogated me once. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been beaten like this."
"I was just keeping watch for Ruan Sisi outside. She went into the master bedroom to get something. After a few minutes, she was discovered by Aunt Liu. Then we quickly left."
A few minutes?
Su Xianyu, who had a deep understanding of Feng Lin, felt relieved. It seemed that her boyfriend was still salvageable.
"What did she get?"
"I don't know. I couldn't tell, but it shouldn't be a big item."
Su Xianyu nodded and turned on her phone screen. There were clearly photos of Li Hao's parents in their hometown on it.
"Are you sure you're not lying about what you've said today?"
"Of course not. You!"
"Keep your mouth shut. I've never met you."
Li Hao gritted his teeth and nodded. "Got it."
City A was really too terrifying. He should just take the money, quickly pack up, and go back to his hometown.
Just as Su Xianyu had just solved this matter, on the other side, there was progress unexpectedly not long after.
"What? Ruan Sisi is pregnant!"
