Chapter 702: Chapter 689: Situation Worsens
Su Xuan happened to et an elderly man in the park by the side of the road, who turned out to be Ma Xingkong, the chairman of Tianma Group, and even the father of the female CEO Ma Yizhu. It was too much of a coincidence; it all hit Su Xuan squarely.
Even more so at tonight’s banquet, where he completely embarrassed Wang Fangqian. Initially, Wang Fangqian thought Su Xuan had sneaked in without an invitation, just to enjoy so desserts and red wine. He didn’t expect him to be a special guest invited by the chairman of Tianma Group himself. How could this be possible? How did those two co together? Could it be that Ma Yizhu actually saw Su Xuan as her boyfriend and introduced him to her father?
The more Wang Fangqian thought about it, the more unpleasant he felt. In the car, his fury exploded onto his young and beautiful secretary, unleashing all his anger on her, causing her to cry out in pain.
That evening, Su Xuan witnessed the power of Ma Xingkong of the Tianma Group. Ma Xingkong was thrilled to find out his daughter knew Su Xuan and even asked how they had t.
Ma Yizhu’s face slightly changed. Of course, she couldn’t say Su Xuan was pretending to be her boyfriend. She covered it up with a smile and said, “Last ti my car broke down on the road, he helped fix it.”
“Oh, I see.”
The old man understood, then smiled at Su Xuan and said, “Not bad, Su Xuan, not only is your Kung Fu good, you are also skilled in car repairs. Truly a versatile talent.”
Ma Yizhu skillfully dodged the bullet. If it were to slip that Su Xuan was pretending to be her boyfriend, it might lead Ma Xingkong to misconceptions.
The next day, Su Xuan was about to go to work at Dasanyuan Casino when he picked up his phone and realized it was out of battery. He rembered that he had forgotten to charge it last night. After turning it on, he found over ten missed calls.
It was eight o’clock in the morning, and the missed calls were from seven in the morning.
All from Li Yuanyuan. What could she possibly want from , to call over ten tis? What grudge do we have?
Su Xuan called back, only to hear Li Yuanyuan’s crying on the other side. At that mont, Su Xuan knew sothing had definitely gone wrong.
“Yuanyuan, please tell what happened,” Su Xuan urged anxiously, hearing the despair in Li Yuanyuan’s sobs.
The last thing Su Xuan wanted to admit was that Li Yuanyuan had gotten into trouble.
All he heard through Li Yuanyuan’s sobbing was, “It’s not , it’s my younger brother, he…”
Once Su Xuan heard Li Yuanyuan was fine, a huge weight lifted from his heart. Knowing Li Chengcheng was a notorious gambler and a magnet for trouble, it was abnormal for him not to get into so.
He still rembered the last ti Li Chengcheng gambled at Dasanyuan Casino, how he had to be detained for not having money to pay, and Su Xuan had to clean up after him. Li Yuanyuan had even thought about making Su Xuan lead him onto a better path.
“Just tell , what exactly happened?”
Though Li Chengcheng was his brother-in-law, blood was thicker than water, and Su Xuan still needed to inquire.
“He… he… he was beaten to death!”
“What?”
Su Xuan was also stunned, not expecting such severity this ti. Although he knew Li Chengcheng habitually caused trouble, he truly didn’t expect him to be beaten to death. Now Su Xuan could still picture Li Chengcheng’s rogue face, his ears almost hearing those repeated calls of ‘brother-in-law’!
“Where are you guys now? I’ll co right over.”
Over ten minutes later, Su Xuan appeared at City People’s Hospital. As soon as he walked in, he found Li Yuanyuan and her parents sitting in the hallway, wailing terribly. When Li Yuanyuan saw Su Xuan, she ran into his embrace and cried even harder.
Although Li Yuanyuan and her younger brother weren’t very close, they were still family, bonded by blood thicker than water.
“Where is your brother now?”
“They’ve taken him to the morgue.”
Li Yuanyuan turned into a tearful ss. There were criminal detectives in the hallway, including the police officer Feng Shanshan, who had encountered Su Xuan and Li Yuanyuan shopping a few days ago and had flirted with Su Xuan. Now, in the serious atmosphere, she ca over to comfort Li Yuanyuan briefly before walking away.
“Rest assured, I’ll definitely get justice for you!”
Feng Shanshan spoke earnestly, then swiftly left, decisively and efficiently.
“Do you know who did it?” Su Xuan asked.
Li Yuanyuan shook her head in agony and said, “By the ti they inford , it was near the small grove next to People Road. I don’t know who it was. He didn’t have any knife wounds, but he was bruised badly. He was beaten to death!”
Su Xuan guessed it must have been related to gambling, as he knew Li Chengcheng’s character all too well. A day without gambling was worse than death for him.
“Don’t worry, I will certainly bring the truth to light. Today’s incident was just his bad luck.”
Su Xuan held Li Yuanyuan, trying to soothe her.
No sooner had Su Xuan finished speaking did he feel a chilling wind behind him. He quickly dodged. It was Li Yuanyuan’s mother, furiously charging towards him. Hearing Su Xuan say Li Chengcheng had bad luck infuriated her even more.
“Who are you saying has bad luck? When Chengcheng was a child, I had his fortune told. There was never such a calamity predicted. It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t taken Chengcheng to the casino all the ti, how would he end up gambling in the middle of the night? His death is indirectly your fault. I must beat you to death today!”
Li Yuanyuan’s mother cried out as she charged over, attracting many people from the hospital. How could Su Xuan stoop to the level of this irate woman? It was just that her rationale was outrageous. How had he beco the indirect murderer of Li Chengcheng?
“You better leave now, my mom is in a bad mood,”
Li Yuanyuan pushed Su Xuan away, urging him to leave quickly, as she blocked her mother from pestering Su Xuan.
Su Xuan had no choice but to leave quickly—clashing with won hurt a man’s chivalry. But Li Yuanyuan’s mom was too overbearing, possibly really upset by her son’s death. Su Xuan could only shake his head in resignation.
Latter, Su Xuan found police officer Feng Shanshan and debriefed her in detail about Li Chengcheng’s case. It turned out that Li Chengcheng had been killed last night and his body dumped in the nearby woods. The culprits didn’t even bother to hide it—had the secrecy been crucial, they would have likely dragged the body to the outskirts, showing just how audacious the culprits were.
“Don’t worry, I can definitely track down the killers, as we’ve already captured several suspects through roadside surveillance footage,”
Feng Shanshan told Su Xuan. Normally, Feng Shanshan wouldn’t speak so calmly with Su Xuan, but since this was a serious matter, she instantly beca serious whenever the topic turned to official business.
“Mhm, better crack this case soon to account to the residents of Qiutian City.”
“Alright.”
Suddenly, Feng Shanshan snapped out of it. Why should I listen to you? The way Su Xuan spoke sounded more like he was the boss.
“My words represent the voice of the people,”
Su Xuan argued. Eventually, Su Xuan got a copy of the suspects’ profiles from Feng Shanshan. Su Xuan had previously hung out under Liu Feilong, and he was quite familiar with so rogues because he was known for his righteousness and had made quite a few acquaintances back then.
Soon, Su Xuan turned the profiles into a reward poster offering a generous sum and distributed it. Surprisingly, the tactic was quite effective; in less than half a day, he already had so leads, primarily since the reward sum he had listed was rather high, offering up to one hundred thousand yuan to anyone who could provide useful tips.
Of course, Su Xuan wasn’t foolish enough to actually give away one hundred thousand, but rather distributed the total among several tipsters, amounting to just a few thousand yuan each. Su Xuan was sowhat unprincipled, but for those rogues who could earn money just by talking, this was more than satisfactory.
When Su Xuan handed over such leads to Feng Shanshan, she was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth, amazed by Su Xuan’s efficiency, which was even faster than their investigation process.
“Thank you!”
Feng Shanshan was about to leave with the leads provided by Su Xuan when he stopped her.
“Don’t you guys have any rewards for those who provide tips?”
Su Xuan greedily asked. This Su Xuan was simply despicable and shaless, spending his own money on the investigation outside and yet also trying to milk sothing out of Feng Shanshan.
“Ah, now that you ntion it, there does seem to be sothing like that. The reward for tips is about five hundred yuan.”
“Five hundred yuan?”
Su Xuan was utterly dumbfounded. They couldn’t be serious, right? That’s too stingy.
“I’ll sell you the materials for fifty thousand yuan, and if that’s not acceptable, I’ll take them back.”
Su Xuan said, pretending to stand up and take the docunts, which imdiately panicked Feng Shanshan, who ca over to wrestle them from him, obviously no match for Su Xuan.
Seeing herself outpowered by Su Xuan, Feng Shanshan defiantly blocked his way using her body.
“Move. I don’t know how to be tender towards won.”
“You might as well not see as a woman because if you dare touch , I’ll scream. This is the police bureau, I’m not afraid of you!”
Feng Shanshan’s rowdy deanor frustrated Su Xuan, “You won rogues!” mumbled Su Xuan angrily, then suddenly had an idea and said to Feng Shanshan, “You told to touch you, I’ll just do it a little and see if you scream.”
Su Xuan chuckled sinisterly, and Feng Shanshan now nervous, frantically asked, “Where are you going to touch ? I really will scream, don’t do sothing foolish.”
“Huh, this isn’t fake, is it?”
Su Xuan lightly flicked Feng Shanshan’s chest with his finger, truly stirring up a hornet’s nest this ti. Feng Shanshan’s eyes bulged like a cow’s, utterly startled that Su Xuan would dare to be so bold here.
“Su Xuan! I’m going to kill you,” Feng Shanshan said, and realizing her cries weren’t attracting anyone, she then changed her shout to, “Soone is harassing , help!”
Feng Shanshan scread, but unexpectedly, Su Xuan stuffed a prepared paper ball into her mouth.
With a muffled sound, Feng Shanshan suddenly went silent.
“Heh, can’t scream now, can you?” Su Xuan hadn’t picked on Feng Shanshan just this once.
A couple of days ago, Su Xuan and Li Yuanyuan were shopping when they ran into her. Once Li Yuanyuan left, because of Feng Shanshan’s repeated provocations, Su Xuan dragged Feng Shanshan into a changing room at the mall and ended up spanking her fiercely; the scene even attracted a crowd of onlookers outside at the ti. Every ti she thought about it, Feng Shanshan wanted to crawl into a hole; it was truly embarrassing. And now, Su Xuan dared to harass her on her own turf, not only flicking her chest but also stuffing a paper ball into her mouth.
“Su Xuan, if you walk out of here alive today, consider defeated!”
Su Xuan snorted, “You’ve already lost, goodbye.”
With that, Su Xuan strutted out, while Feng Shanshan tried to stand up and chase after him. Suddenly, her wrist was locked with a handcuff. When had he locked it? The room’s walls indeed had many spare handcuffs hanging, but Su Xuan had been too quick.
