Could this be the reason why Kang Zeyan always sleeps poorly at night?
Just as Su Mingyu was still puzzled, Kang Zeyan suddenly squatted on the ground, hugging his knees. With a hoarse voice, he questioned aggrievedly and painfully, "Why? Why did you do this to us! I hate you! Gu Ruobai, I hate you!"
Hearing the name Gu Ruobai, Su Mingyu felt as if someone had hit her head hard.
All of Kang Zeyan's pain... was caused by Gu Ruobai?
But Gu Ruobai had been stationed on the border until his leg was injured and then he came back.
If so, when did Gu Ruobai hurt Kang Zeyan? From what Kang Zeyan said, this might be a tragedy similar to the extermination of a family.
Glancing at Kang Zeyan squatting on the ground, Su Mingyu pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Kang Zeyan's crying.
Su Mingyu was stunned. Why was this guy crying?
Lifting the hem of her clothes, Su Mingyu squatted beside Kang Zeyan and gently pushed his shoulder with her hand, "Are you okay?"
The next second, Kang Zeyan raised his red eyes, looked deeply at Su Mingyu, then grabbed her hand and pleaded, "Let us go... please."
Su Mingyu tried to pull back her hand, but failed after several attempts. After thinking for a while, she lowered her eyes and comforted softly, "I'm here to help you. Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
"You..." Kang Zeyan looked at Su Mingyu in a daze and suddenly woke up sharply.
He pushed Su Mingyu away, "What are you doing!"
Su Mingyu touched her nose and pointed at the mess on the ground, "I... I was just passing by. Suddenly I heard a noise, so I came in to take a look. What's wrong with you?"
"Passing by?" There was a clear look in Kang Zeyan's eyes.
He frowned and looked at Su Mingyu suspiciously, not believing her at all.
Su Mingyu looked up and pointed at the porridge on the table, "I was in a bad mood and didn't eat much for dinner. I got hungry by this time, so I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, I just heard the sound of fighting in your room, so I came in."
When saying this, Su Mingyu was calm and showed no sign of nervousness as if she had been caught.
Kang Zeyan sized Su Mingyu up and down. After a long time, he supported the table leg and stood up. Then he looked down at Su Mingyu haughtily, "If there's nothing else, Miss Su, please go back."
Su Mingyu shrugged and stood up too, "Well, I want to ask. It's already been a whole day. Why haven't you taken any action yet?"
"How do you know we haven't taken any action?" Kang Zeyan rubbed his forehead, "You've been staying in this mansion all the time. Can you see if I take any action?"
"I can't see it." Su Mingyu pouted, "But it's a big deal that a prince privately owns an army. Once it breaks out, won't the maids in your mansion talk about it?"
Hearing what Su Mingyu said, Kang Zeyan then withdrew his inquiring look, "It seems I have to pull out the tongues of all the maids in our mansion."
Su Mingyu pouted, "Then it will be so boring in your mansion with no one talking."
Saying that, Su Mingyu picked up her porridge, "Since you're okay, I'll leave first."
When she was about to go out, Su Mingyu turned back and looked at Kang Zeyan, "Mr. Kang, since you have a demon in your heart, the best way is to face it, instead of keeping the lights on all night like this."
After saying that, Su Mingyu didn't look at Kang Zeyan anymore and turned to walk out.
When she opened the door of her room, Su Mingyu saw Gu Ruobai sitting on the stool, awake and waiting for her.
"Where did you go?"
Gu Ruobai looked at Su Mingyu with a look of concern in his eyes.
Su Mingyu pouted, "I went to cook porridge for you." Then she put the porridge on the table, "Have some porridge. It will help you recover."
Gu Ruobai looked at the porridge and suddenly said, "You feed me."
Su Mingyu was stunned and pointed at herself, "I feed you... You're not a child."
Gu Ruobai nodded, "I'm sick. Can't you take care of me?"
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes, "You're just sick, not your hands are broken. And don't you know the current situation? Just eat by yourself quickly."
Seeing Su Mingyu's angry look, a smile flashed across Gu Ruobai's eyes, "If you don't feed me, I won't eat."
"You..." Su Mingyu was a little helpless. Why was this guy so rascal?
But still, Su Mingyu picked up the bowl and fed Gu Ruobai porridge.
The two chatted while eating. Su Mingyu told Gu Ruobai everything that happened to her when she met Kang Zeyan today.
Gu Ruobai listened with a bad look on his face, "I didn't exterminate anyone's family."
Although he was a tough guy, he wasn't a ruthless monster who killed people without blinking an eye. Moreover, he always held the person responsible for their own actions and would never implicate the family members.
Su Mingyu of course believed this about Gu Ruobai, "Then someone was exterminated because of you. Think about what it could be?"
It wasn't that Gu Ruobai didn't want to recall, but he had been a soldier on the border for so long. There were countless people who had offended him and those he had offended.
Seeing Gu Ruobai's complicated expression, Su Mingyu knew that there might be no breakthrough from Gu Ruobai.
"If we could know when Kang Zeyan's incident happened, maybe we could think of a way." Su Mingyu said with a sigh.
It sounded easy, but Kang Zeyan guarded against her like a thief. She simply couldn't get any information from his mouth.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, they won't be able to hide soon." Gu Ruobai comforted Su Mingyu.
For now, this was the only thing they could do. Su Mingyu nodded, "You should have a good rest tonight. You may be busy tomorrow."
Gu Ruobai nodded and said, "It's good to have someone to care about me."
Su Mingyu grinned, "I'm just worried about our plan. We've mobilized so many people. If it fails in the end, it will be really embarrassing."
Seeing Su Mingyu's duplicity, Gu Ruobai hooked his lips and smiled. Even in the enemy's rear, even though there were many troubles waiting for them tomorrow, as long as Su Mingyu was by his side, he always felt at ease.
The next day, just as Su Mingyu sat up on the bed, she heard the voice of the maid outside.
"Miss Su, Mr. Kang invites you."
Su Mingyu rubbed her eyes and exchanged a knowing look with Gu Ruobai. Then she got up and opened the door.
Following the maid to Kang Zeyan, Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows when she saw Kang Zeyan's face, "It seems that Mr. Kang has good news to tell me?"
