Madam... already knows?
"Madam..."
Upon hearing Chen Lan’s reaction, Su Xiaong’s heart felt as if it had sunk to the icy depths of the sea.
Last night, her mother tried calling her father’s phone, but couldn’t get through. Her mother was worried all night but didn’t say anything to her.
After all, it was already late at night in Beijing, and her father might have been sleeping deeply.
Bai Sixian had always been perceptive. When news of Shi Shengde’s jailbreak spread, she had a bad premonition.
Losing contact with Su Chengji, she instinctively thought of the worst.
However, Bai Sixian didn’t want Xiao ng to worry unnecessarily.
But by this morning, they still couldn’t reach her father; the house phone was disconnected, and the Bai Family couldn’t contact Su Chengji either.
Thus, Bai Sixian told Su Xiaong about it.
However, she only ntioned that they couldn’t contact Su Chengji, keeping her additional worries and speculations to herself.
Bai Sixian didn’t expect that Su Xiaong was ultimately her daughter.
As Xiaong matured and beca more sensible, the rationality and subtlety she inherited from Bai Sixian gradually erged.
Xiaong didn’t say much, only that she would contact Yin Shixiu to ask about the situation.
Perhaps it’s a woman’s natural sensitivity, or so-called sixth sense, or perhaps...
Her familiarity with Yin Shixiu had reached a certain level.
She noticed every subtle hint of unease in his voice when he answered the phone.
She didn’t panic, nor could she afford to.
Having been through so much, she had learned not to give up thinking, no matter what.
The old madam had no need to lie to her or hide anything.
The old madam was completely unaware of the danger that might involve Yin Shixiu at this mont...
Calling Chen Lan was the right move.
Her proactive scolding and probing were correct too.
Chen Lan couldn’t withstand Su Xiaong’s bluff.
"As expected..."
Su Xiaong murmured, and Chen Lan heard clearly. He realized he had been fooled by Su Xiaong.
How much did Su Xiaong actually know?
And why did she use this thod to fool him...
Chen Lan no longer had the spare mind to guess.
Yin Shixiu had asked him to keep it a secret from the family for now and not to disclose anything until he contacted Bai Sidong.
But Chen Lan was just a businessman, and faced with such sudden circumstances, he was actually quite at a loss.
Clenching his teeth, Chen Lan almost without any reservation told Su Xiaong about Su Chengji being kidnapped by Shi Shengde and Yin Shixiu being coerced to negotiate alone.
After hearing from Chen Lan that her father was indeed in trouble, Su Xiaong found the rest wasn’t too hard to deduce.
But really hearing Chen Lan detailing it word for word made her heart ache as if it was being torn apart.
"Madam... this isn’t sothing the president can handle alone. The other side isn’t just Shi Shengde; those who helped him escape are either ruthless gangsters or powerful figures using dirty tactics!"
"..."
Su Xiaong’s hands were trembling.
She seed to see a trap filled with swords, and her husband was rushing into it without hesitation!
He would be left a bloodied, grueso ss.
And this is exactly what the Shi Family wanted, what Yin Shiqing wanted.
"Madam, I know Uncle Su’s life is important, I know he’s your biological father, but if the president goes alone, it’s a path to destruction!"
"I know."
One is her father, the other her husband.
The two most important n in her world, the two n who love her the most in this world.
"What should we do? Madam, should I call the police?"
"Chen Lan, give two minutes to think it over."
Su Xiaong said with a bit of a tremor, she wanted to remain calm, she needed to think, but she couldn’t overco the deep fear inside.
Chen Lan closed his mouth, patiently waiting. He knew urging her wouldn’t be useful.
If even he couldn’t figure out a proper solution, how could Su Xiaong, far away in London, easily co up with a good plan?
Su Xiaong trembled, her teeth chattering uncontrollably,
"Chen Lan, did he ask you to contact my uncle?"
"Yes, he told to definitely contact Bai Sidong and then follow Bai Sidong’s arrangents."
"Keep trying to contact my uncle, I’ll contact soone else, don’t call the police."
"..."
"Calling the police won’t solve the problem."
The police have people from Shi Shengde’s side, there’s no need to doubt this.
If that’s the case, calling the police would only push matters into a more desperate situation.
If the police help them, that’d be great; if a troublemaker gets involved...
Her husband isn’t foolish. Not calling the police wasn’t rely bowing to Shi Shengde’s threats but weighing the pros and cons of calling the police versus not.
"Madam, who will you contact?"
"Shan Mingxu."
"..."
Su Xiaong hung up on Chen Lan and imdiately dialed Shan Mingxu. She didn’t know if she could reach Shan Mingxu, but she had to try.
Her hands trembled slightly, and as she dialed, she suddenly realized her mother had entered the room at so point.
Leaning against a cabinet, she stood against the wall.
Her expression was worried, but she wasn’t panicked. She looked at Su Xiaong and said,
"Continue, your father’s life is precious."
"...Mm."
Su Xiaong responded, and the mother and daughter didn’t say much more.
Despite being just two won, they forced themselves to calm down!
Xiaong thought of contacting Shan Mingxu from the military, sothing Yin Shixiu must have considered, but indeed, he had been short on ti.
She didn’t know how much Yin Shixiu had done before going to confront Shi Shengde.
But she was convinced he wasn’t going to die!
Xiaong directly called the unit where Shan Mingxu was stationed, and the person who answered was Fang Zi, with whom Xiaong had interacted during a previous terror attack.
"Auntie?"
Upon hearing it was Su Xiaong, Fang Zi called excitedly.
These guys all followed Shan Mingxu, and since Shan Mingxu called Su Xiaong "Auntie," they naturally followed suit.
"Fang Zi, can Mingxu take a call?"
The military has its own rules. By sheer luck, Fang Zi answered Xiaong’s call, which delighted her.
"The captain! He’s outside training the rookies! Do you need him to take a call?"
"Yes, please ask Mingxu to take the call, I need to discuss sothing important with him."
Xiaong gripped her phone tightly. She sat on the bed, her legs already stiff and numb.
"Okay!"
About five or six minutes later, Shan Mingxu, breathless, took the call, clearly having run all the way to the communications room.
"Auntie? What’s the matter?"
"Your uncle might be in trouble."
"..."
"Mingxu... please help ..."
