The black - suited bodyguards behind Su Rou seemed to have stopped following her in the past two days. She wondered if it was because Wen Haotian had shifted his focus. Anyway, Su Rou felt much more relaxed.
At noon, Su Rou was having a meal with Jiang Ling. When they were passing by a school path, Jiang Ling grabbed Su Rou and jerked his chin to the other side, motioning her to look that way.
Su Rou looked in the direction he indicated and saw a man and a woman standing under a tree on the opposite side of the path. The man wasn't very tall but looked quite stocky. "Rafael, the star player of our school's football team," Jiang Ling said.
"And that girl..." Jiang Ling remembered her. It was the girl who, along with the girl with the lip stud, had mocked him at the graffiti wall last time. "Xiaorou, you seem to know that girl, right?" She had even called Su Rou's name.
"Um..." Su Rou pursed her lips. She did know Wen Tong, but only in passing. They weren't close.
"Who is she exactly?"
Su Rou thought for a moment. "You should have heard of the Wen Group, right?"
"Um... Oh, is she the daughter of the Wen Group?" Jiang Ling sized up Wen Tong. "I have to say, she's really ugly." Not only was she ugly, but her personality was also terrible!
Just as Su Rou was about to say something, they suddenly heard a shrill scolding from under the tree. "Rafael, how long are you going to pester me?" Wen Tong said impatiently to Rafael.
But it was obvious that Rafael was head - over - heels in love with Wen Tong. Even though he had been scolded like this, he still pitifully grabbed Wen Tong's arm and whispered something. But his voice was so soft that Su Rou couldn't hear it.
Then, Wen Tong slapped Rafael across the face. "Get out of here!"
She hit him hard and without any mercy. She didn't care how many students on the busy school path would see them. The slap landed solidly, completely humiliating Rafael.
"Wen!" Rafael called out to Wen Tong.
"Get lost. Don't think I don't know that you're just after my money when you're with me!" Wen Tong said sarcastically.
Wen Tong turned to leave, but Rafael grabbed her arm from behind. His expression looked angry. After all, being slapped in front of so many people was bound to be embarrassing. He slowly raised his strong arm, seemingly about to hit back.
Wen Tong was pulled back. She looked up at Rafael. "What, you want to hit me? Don't forget who my daddy is!" Wen Tong wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she provoked him. "Come on, if you're brave enough, hit me!"
Rafael regained his senses when he heard the words "Don't forget who my daddy is." He dejectedly put down his hand, stared at Wen Tong for a while, and then left.
Wen Tong snorted. Just as she was about to leave, her eyes accidentally caught sight of Su Rou. Almost instinctively, Jiang Ling pulled Su Rou behind him.
"Humph!" Wen Tong sized up Jiang Ling, snorted, and then left. Su Rou wasn't that capable either. The boyfriend she found was even worse than Rafael. In this regard, she had won!
"Ha..." Jiang Ling was a bit speechless. "Was the look in her eyes just now a sign of contempt for me?"
Su Rou shrugged. Maybe she was looking down on her!
...
Wen Haotian intensified his investigation into the cause of the two doctors' deaths. He always felt it couldn't be that simple!
"Mr. Wen!" An assistant rushed in. "We've found out, we've found out..."
"Quickly tell me!" Wen Haotian stared at the assistant.
"The two doctors were actually killed in a very professional way, and it seems... related to Shengshi." The assistant said, feeling very strange. Why would it be related to Shengshi?
"Shengshi?" Wen Haotian's expression suddenly turned strange. "Why?"
"I don't know..." The assistant shook his head.
Wait... Shengshi? The name sounded so familiar. Oh, he remembered. Su Yuze's company was named Shengshi. Could it be that... Su Yuze had come?!
"Go and investigate again to see if the president of Shengshi is here." Damn it. He thought the Su family had really given Su Rou to him. It seemed not. At least Su Yuze was still persistent.
"Okay."
Once again, Wen Haotian was alone in the office. He heaved a heavy sigh. If Su Yuze had come, did that mean he wanted to take Su Rou away? But... if he wanted to take her away, why did he have to kill his attending doctors?
No, Su Yuze should have already known his plan. So... this was a warning from Su Yuze! A warning that he mustn't do that to Xiaorou, or he would end up the same as those two doctors!
Wen Haotian couldn't help but grit his teeth. Su Yuze, even if you've given me a warning, so what? I still won't give up!
Wen Haotian made a phone call. "Continue to find me some authoritative doctors for liver transplants. Find more of them. Remember... do it secretly."
"Yes, Mr. Wen!"
When Wen Haotian got home, his expression was calm. When he saw Su Rou drinking medicine, he walked over slowly and sat down beside her. Since Su Yuze had come, did she already know about it?
"Xiaorou." Wen Haotian called her. "Do you know that there's a branch of Shengshi in the United States?" he asked tentatively.
Su Rou put the medicine bowl on the table and nodded faintly. "Yes."
"Do you know that Su Yuze has come to the United States?" Wen Haotian continued to ask.
"Yes."
"You know?" Wen Haotian frowned deeply.
"Didn't you tell me?" Su Rou counter - questioned.
"Ah..."
Wen Haotian was a bit helpless because Su Rou's words were so ambiguous that he couldn't tell if she was telling the truth.
"What do you want to ask me?"
"Nothing, nothing." Logically speaking, since he had been keeping such a close eye on Su Rou, it was impossible for her to have met Su Yuze! "In the future, don't play outside anymore, okay? Two people have already died. The public security here is not as good as in China."
Su Rou looked at Wen Haotian. It took her a long time to say, "Okay."
"As long as you're obedient, I can buy you whatever you want." Wen Haotian said.
"What if I want to leave?"
"Of course not!" Wen Haotian immediately objected.
"Oh... then I don't want anything." If she couldn't even get the most desired freedom, what was the use of material things?
