Chapter 678 - 667: News

Su Shunli could no longer be bothered with his son. All he wanted was to live, to get out of the police station, and to go back to his old life in Lihua Village.

Just as Su Shunli was wailing his heart out, the interrogation room door opened, revealing Su Qing standing in the doorway.

Through his tear-blurred eyes, Su Shunli saw Su Qing and immediately began to sob, "Su Qing, please save me! I’m begging you, save me! I’m your uncle, your own uncle! Even if we’ve had our differences, we’re still family. You have to save me!"

To Su Shunli, Su Qing was his last hope. He believed her mother’s family was powerful and influential in Beijing; if they were willing, they could surely get him out of the police station. He didn’t want to stay here, not even for another minute.

Su Qing folded her arms, looking at Su Shunli with cold eyes. "You wanted to see me just for this?"

Su Shunli stared at Su Qing, momentarily at a loss for words.

’What else could it be? Of course he wanted to see her to beg for help. What other reason was there?’

Before Su Shunli could say anything, Su Qing gave a faint smile. "Give up hope. I only came to see what a pathetic mess you are now. I’m just here to enjoy the show."

"You... you..." Su Shunli was so furious he felt he could die. He gasped for breath, staring at Su Qing, too enraged to form a complete sentence.

Su Qing paid Su Shunli no more mind and turned to leave. With Su Shunli’s confession, Su Lihui wouldn’t be able to hold out for long; he would definitely confess. The father and son would inevitably face legal punishment, and Su Qing wouldn’t need to concern herself with what happened next. Su Lihui had killed Old Mrs. Su, and on top of that, there was today’s attempted assault with a knife. Su Qing figured he wouldn’t be able to escape a bullet. As for Su Shunli, he would probably be spending a few years in a prison cell.

’To think,’ she mused, ’in just two short years, the once-large Old Su Family has been reduced to just Su Shengguo’s family of four.’

After returning from the police station to Beijing University, Su Qing first went back to her courtyard home. Li Huan was on the phone with Cheng Beize, and upon seeing Su Qing return, she quickly asked, "Qingqing, is everything resolved?"

"Mhm, don’t worry. Those two probably aren’t getting out," Su Qing replied simply with a nod.

Cheng Beize, on the other end of the line, heard Su Qing had returned and quickly said to Li Huan, "Huanhuan, let me talk to Su Qing. I have something to tell her."

"Oh," Li Huan acknowledged, then quickly said to Su Qing, "Qingqing, Beize wants to talk to you."

Su Qing took the phone and teased with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you were looking for me?"

Li Huan and Cheng Beize had been dating for some time now, and both had already met each other’s parents. Barring any surprises, their marriage was a sure thing. They were just waiting for Li Huan to graduate before they started planning the wedding.

Hearing Su Qing call him "brother-in-law" made Cheng Beize ecstatic, but he quickly pushed down his excitement, remembering what he needed to tell her. "Su Qing, I heard about something that concerns you."

"What is it?" Su Qing asked curiously.

Cheng Beize explained, "When I went back to Xiangcheng this time, I stumbled upon some information. An Zhiqian of the An Family helped a woman get plastic surgery there and told her to go back to Beijing to deal with you. I’ve been trying to find out her identity for the past couple of days, but I haven’t gotten anything concrete yet. Still, I wanted to let you know first so you can be on guard. Be very careful if any strangers try to get close to you. I have a suspicion... the reason she needed plastic surgery might be because she’s someone you already know."

"Okay, I understand. Thanks, brother-in-law," Su Qing quickly replied. "I’ll be careful."

’Su Qing recalled when she was tailing Li Xiaojuan and overheard her and Li Xiaodong talking about a "young master" from Xiangcheng. It seemed that young master was most likely An Zhiqian.’

’That was unexpected. She knew An Zhihan was back in Xiangcheng, locked in a struggle with the An Family. For An Zhiqian to still have the energy to cause trouble for her... it seemed An Zhihan wasn’t putting on enough pressure.’

Cheng Beize was still speaking on the other end. "I’ll find out more about that woman as quickly as I can. Once I have a clear picture, I’ll tell you. You must be extremely careful."

"Okay, I will be," Su Qing replied, then asked, "By the way, brother-in-law, what’s the current situation with the An Family?"
