"Chairman, it's done as you ordered!"
"Are you sure? Did you see Xu Liang die with your own eyes?" Su Kaiming's tone was tinged with a hint of excitement. If Xu Liang wasn't dead, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain!
"Don't worry, Chairman. I shot him right in the heart!" But since someone was coming, he had to leave the scene to avoid being discovered. However, he had full confidence in his marksmanship. Having seen the bullet hit Xu Liang's chest with his own eyes, Xu Liang must be dead!
Hearing this, Su Kaiming finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, I'm relieved then."
"So, my reward..."
"Got it. I'll transfer it to your card tomorrow."
"Thank you, Chairman!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Kaiming's expression visibly relaxed. As long as Xu Liang was dead, even if Su Yuze had evidence, there would be no one left to testify against him!
...
Xu Liang's bullet - removal surgery lasted a full twelve hours. Su Yuze couldn't stay at the hospital for Xu Liang all the time, but he left some black - suited bodyguards there. "If there's any more mistake, you can go and accompany him."
"Yes, there definitely won't be any!"
Su Rou was waiting in the company for Su Yuze to pick her up. She had heard about the situation when Su Yuze left. "Brother Ze, how is he?" After all, Xu Liang was their most important witness now.
"I don't know yet." Su Yuze frowned tightly. "The bullet hit Xu Liang's chest. I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic."
"Then... who did this?"
"Most likely Su Kaiming." If his uncle had lost his mind, he was very likely to do such a thing.
However, without evidence, Su Yuze couldn't do anything to Su Kaiming! "What if Xu Liang..." died? What should they do then?
"It's okay. If it comes to that, I'll find another way." No one could be unlucky all their life, nor could they be lucky all the time.
"Okay."
"Don't worry. I'm here." Su Yuze stroked Su Rou's head and comforted her softly.
The next day
There was news from the hospital. Su Yuze was putting on his clothes while kissing Su Rou's forehead. "Little Rou, stay at home and rest today. I'm going out."
Su Rou was still a bit sleepy, but hearing his words, she woke up a lot. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Su Yuze rushed to the hospital. The black - suited bodyguards nodded slightly at him. "Boss Su, everything is fine!"
"Where's Xu Liang?"
"He's still inside." The bodyguard pointed at the operating room.
Just as he said this, the door of the operating room opened, and the doctor wheeled the hospital bed out. "Oh, Mr. Su, you're here."
"How's his condition?" Su Yuze asked.
"The patient is very lucky." The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
The doctor told the nurse to wheel Xu Liang to the general ward first, then slowly took off his gloves. "Well, although the patient was shot in the chest, his heart is different from normal people's. It's on the right side."
"..." Su Yuze raised his eyebrows. This was indeed good news. He had already prepared to look for more evidence. "So, he's really lucky."
"Yes!" The doctor nodded. "He's really lucky. But the effect of the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. We have to wait a while."
Su Yuze nodded and then walked into the ward. Xu Liang was lying on the hospital bed, with a drip on his arm. His lips were pale, and his face was haggard due to excessive blood loss. But the fluctuations on the electrocardiogram showed that he was still alive.
Su Yuze pulled over a chair and sat in front of the hospital bed, waiting silently.
About half an hour later, Xu Liang slowly opened his eyes. Just waking up, he was a bit confused about where he was and just stared blankly at the surroundings.
"You're awake. Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" Su Yuze saw his eyes move a few times and asked.
"I..." Xu Liang opened his mouth and found his voice was extremely hoarse. "I, I want to drink some water..."
Su Yuze pressed the bed bell for him. Immediately, a nurse walked in. "He wants to drink water."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The nurse brought a glass of water and moistened Xu Liang's lips with a cotton swab dipped in water. After repeating this several times, the nurse began to check his body. "The wound is sutured. Be careful not to get it wet."
The ward fell silent again. After drinking some water, Xu Liang felt much better. Seeing Su Yuze now, he remembered the scene when he was shot. "Mr. Su, I was shot?"
"Yes."
"It seems I really have a lucky star." Xu Liang shook his head with a helpless smile.
"Don't you know? Your heart is actually on the right side."
Xu Liang looked at Su Yuze in surprise. "What? I don't know..." Since his family was not well - off, Xu Liang couldn't afford a full - body check, so he never knew about this anomaly in his body. It seemed that God had destined him not to die. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're just benefiting each other." Su Yuze said indifferently. "The one who attacked you is most likely Su Kaiming's subordinate."
Xu Liang gave a bitter smile. "I guessed so..." He had only cooperated with Su Kaiming. Now that Su Kaiming knew he had been caught by Su Yuze, he wanted to kill him to cover his tracks!
"So, do you still choose to protect the Su Group?" Su Yuze asked.
"Of course not!" Xu Liang shook his head and then looked at Su Yuze. "Are you sure you can protect my whole family?"
"As long as you believe in me."
"Okay!" Xu Liang looked at Su Yuze firmly and said, "I'll help Shengshi testify against the Su Group." Since Su Kaiming wanted to kill him, why should he be so submissive? Wasn't this narrow escape from death a chance given by God? He was also a human being, and he really wanted to live!
Su Yuze smiled faintly. "Good." It would be easier to handle the rest of the things now that he had convinced Xu Liang. "First, let's make a plan."
"What plan?" Xu Liang asked puzzledly.
"You don't think Su Kaiming will let it go after knowing you're still alive, do you? And you're still injured, so you can't go to court immediately."
Xu Liang nodded. He understood. "I know. I'll follow your instructions, Mr. Su."
"Good. I'll create the illusion that you're dead to make Su Kaiming feel at ease, and then let you appear in court when the trial starts." Su Yuze thought for a while. "During this period, I'll also send someone to protect you. You can just recuperate here in peace."
"What about my family..."
"Don't worry. I'll inform them for you."
Xu Liang looked at Su Yuze gratefully. "Thank you!"
