Chapter Thirty-Two

  No matter what the result is, K must be confirmed.

  Reaching out to grasp the door handle, just at the moment of grasping...

  The door was opened from inside with a creak, and he grasped at nothingness.

  k：“……”

  The person in front of her was wearing a white bathrobe, with mist still floating on her hair. It was none other than Shen Lue herself, whose expression was extremely cold at this moment: "Something's up?"

  K's expression stiffened instantly, and his face completely lost its blood color.

  Compared to Xu Sen, K's greatest fear has always been the woman in front of him. The rumors about the Xu family, even though he hasn't been here for long, he had heard from his seniors before. His predecessor who once held K's position warned him that if he wanted to live a bit longer, he should stay away from "......" And these six dots represent omission, also known as Shen Lue.

  At first, I didn't understand the reason. Now, just being stared at by her coldly makes me feel a chill run down my spine. A man who has received special training and is physically strong appears insignificant in front of Shen Lüe, like an ant.

  Pursed lips, throat slightly dry.

  "Boss... let me inform Lao Jie, I'll go over there tonight."

  He responded with a faint, expressionless "uh-huh."

  Having gotten a response, K bowed his head and was about to leave as soon as possible, but before he took two steps, he heard: "Wait." Shen Yue called out to him.

  He stopped in his tracks and stood still, turning around with a bow: "Elder... sister."

  "There won't be a next time."

  "Seems like I've read it all before... Hurriedly nodded: "Sorry, Lüe Jie, it was my oversight..."

  "That's enough." Shen slightly furrowed his brow, showing a hint of impatience, and went back into the bathroom, coldly saying: "Close the door."

  Hearing the bathroom door being closed tightly, I didn't dare to stay for a second longer, quickly leaving and gently closing the door. It was only five short minutes, but it felt like I had walked through the gates of hell.

  In the bathroom, a black coat was thrown in the corner. Shen Yue stood in front of the mirror, coldly staring at herself, slowly unbuttoning her bathrobe, revealing a black tight-fitting vest that hugged her curvaceous body.

  Gently shaking his temporarily hot water-wet hair, he said faintly, "It's been tough, Luo."

  In the corner of the bathroom, Luo had been standing there all along, disguising himself extremely well. He was so still that it was impossible to tell if someone was standing there. If he had just opened the door and come in without seeing Shen Yue, then...he would have disappeared forever from this world.

  "Older sister, boss he..."

  "I'll handle this, you're not convenient to stay here for long, go help me find someone."

  "Who?"

  "Gu Feng's man had a scar on his hand."

  "After finding it?"

  "I'll tell you myself."

  "Sister be careful."

  "You too."

  Luozong sprang out of the bathroom window and Shenluo took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

  Following the GPS's prompt, Si Lu Chen drove into the parking lot of the mall, where people and cars were densely packed, even on ordinary days.

  The more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. Si Luochen once again looked at Shen Lue with a new perspective.

  The bustling streets of New York, everyone here is busy making a living, and Ci Xi Chen, standing on the street, felt out of place for a moment.

  Without thinking much, I found a nearby coffee shop, bought a cup of coffee and three sandwiches, and returned to my seat before taking out my phone to contact Si Ruo Nan.

  In less than half an hour, Si Yenan appeared in the coffee shop and found her. Si Luochen didn't know how far away Si Yenan had just been, but from her expression, she could see that unease. Holding the unfinished coffee and sandwich, she followed Si Yenan back to the car.

  Throughout the entire process, Si Ruonan didn't utter a single word. This made Si Luo Chen feel somewhat guilty, and he said, "I'm blessed with good fortune and a long life, don't worry about it, sis."

  "Don't worry?" Si Ruo Nan glanced at her, started the car and gazed seriously at the road ahead: "Every time you leave alone, something happens. Can I really not worry?"

  "This time in the US for almost a year..." Si Luo Chen just wanted to explain, his eyes flashed, and he looked up at Si Yao Nan's profile, slightly frowning: "Sister, you...can't?"

  Si Ruo Nan didn't deny it, staring ahead and turning the steering wheel towards another road, saying lightly: "That thing that happened four and a half years ago, do you think I would let you leave the Si family alone?"

  "But Mom and Dad agreed."

  "These things were all decided by mom, I just followed her arrangement."

  Xia Lu Chen was stunned, and for a moment the world seemed to have changed. The impression of her mother, who didn't care about anything and only lived for herself, actually letting her sister do such a thing without telling her.

  This... is too unbelievable.

  Si Lu Chen seemed to think of something again and asked inexplicably: "About what happened back then, mom said it was just an accident, didn't she?"

  "If your mother had told you the truth back then, would you have been so determined to come here?" Si Rouyan asked coldly, stopping the car at the red light and turning to look at Si Luo Chen's bewildered face.

  The amount of information was far beyond what Si Luo Chen had imagined. In her impression, she could accept all the unimaginable people and things. Including everything that happened in Shen Yue's warehouse and rehabilitation center, as well as Gu Qing's past and secrets with Xiang Qian Tong, she could understand it all.

  After all, there are many things and people in this world that cannot be understood by common sense.

  But... she couldn't accept the fact that he was the perpetrator.

  Always thought that what happened back then was just an accident, and Qian Tong almost lost her life because of it.

  It turned out that this was not an accident at all.

  Si Luo Chen fell into memories of the past, linking up all the suspicious points one by one, especially regarding Xiang Qian Tong's departure.

  Could it be because of this matter?

  Cai Luo Chen remained silent and unresponsive, and he knew that such an answer would be difficult for the clever Cai Luo Chen to accept.

  The red light turned green, and Si Wenna put down the handbrake. The car started moving slowly again, and she said, "Back then, it was an accident for you, but not for our Si family."

  He stared out of the window with a blank expression, without responding.

  "You just stay quietly at home and nothing will happen." said Si Yuannan.

  Are you staying at home obediently?

  "Sister, I am not a canary raised by the Sui family." Si Luo's eyes slightly narrowed, still gazing out the window as he spoke in a leisurely tone.

  "Lu Chen... I didn't mean it like that."

  "It doesn't matter anymore, after Xiao Ke is discharged from the hospital, I'll go back with you. Since it wasn't an accident that year, I must find out who wanted to harm me." Si Luochen's serious tone didn't sound like a joke.

  The car suddenly stopped on the road, and the screeching sound of the brake pads attracted many people's attention. The driver, Lu Chen, was caught off guard and leaned forward sharply, fortunately wearing a seatbelt.

  "I won't let you do this!" Si Ruo Nan said sternly.

  Xia Luo's mouth curved up in a cold smile: "Sister, in your eyes, am I just an obedient younger sister?"

  Xie Yun stopped in her tracks.

  Si Lu Chen straightened his back and turned his head slightly to the side, his expression very calm as he changed the subject: "I want to go to the hospital to see Shao Ke, can you take me there?"

  Si Wei Nan's eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she stared at this face that looked exactly like her mother's, and also inherited her mother's proud personality. From childhood to adulthood, Si Wei Nan had been protecting this younger sister under the conflicting choices. Those ideas that had been instilled in her since childhood, apart from being the eldest daughter of the Si family, were more importantly about inheriting everything of the Si family. Knowing what kind of personality she was and also knowing that many things in the future would not be up to her to decide, so Si Wei Nan's greatest wish was to fight for more free space and future for her younger sister.

  But...the emotions Si Luo Chen pursued, the things he insisted on, all put Si Rou Nan in a dilemma.

  Isn't it better to have a normal romance and focus on being your psychologist?

  Do you have to choose this path to be suitable for yourself?

  Ji Ruo Nan didn't dwell on this issue for too long and started the car again, with a cold face driving Ji Luo Chen to the hospital entrance.

  Pull over, the driver said: "I'll wait for you here."

  Si Lu Chen opened the door, nodded and said softly: "It won't take long, I just want to confirm when Shao Ke will be discharged from the hospital."

  In the ward, Wang Shaokuo was lounging on his bed eating an orange while watching a popular American TV series.

  Saw Siu Lok Ching walking in and smiled: "What soup did you bring today?"

  "Tang? How much longer do you want to stay in the hospital?" Si Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.

  Wang Shaokuo blinked his eyes in confusion and looked at Si Luochen.

  "Yesterday's examination report, the doctor said that you can now go home and rest, why didn't you tell me?" Si Luochen asked with his hands clasped together in dissatisfaction.

  Wang Shaokuo waved his hand: "I was thinking of telling you today, but I hadn't thought about where I would live yesterday."

  "Have you thought it through now?"

  Wang Shaokuo was about to pick up an orange and nodded in response: "Shen Lue's home, she said it was very safe there, anyway she is not in the US now."

  "She's here," said Si Luo Chen expressionlessly. "I just saw her at the rehabilitation center."

  Wang Shaokuo's body stiffened suddenly, as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and his grip on the orange relaxed, causing it to fall back onto the plate.

  "She... is still in America?"

  Si Lu Chen nodded and came to the bedside to tell Wang Shaoke everything that had happened today.

  Can't imagine so many things would happen around Si Luo Chen all the time.

  "Thanks to her today, otherwise I might..." Si Luo Chen paused and said: "If you see her again, help me say thank you."

  "I will." Wang Shaokuo's dark eyes slid over her: "You're going back home?"

  "Get yourself settled, then come back." Si Luo Chen said as he took out Wang Shao Ke's bag and helped her pack her things. He added, "However, this is only one part of it. There are some other matters that I hope you can tell me about after you return to your country."

  Today's information is a bit too much, making Wang Zhen, who hasn't used her brain for several days and only chased after American dramas, feel a bit dull. Especially when Si Luo Chen actually helped her clean up the scene, it made her even more unacceptable.

  "What's the matter, just tell me, I'll take care of things myself. And... can I be discharged today?"

  Why so anxious?

  Xia Luo Chen stopped his actions and gazed at her with deep eyes, saying lightly: "About... the thing four and a half years ago."
