Chapter 96: Sweet in the mouth, sweet in the heart

Hearing this, Fu Quezhou's fingers subconsciously tightened around the phone and asked, "How is it?"

"It's not a big deal, just a common drug, but..."

Hearing his change of subject, Fu Quezhou's heart jumped into his throat: "But what?"

On the other end of the phone, Wei Ji curled his lips and deliberately didn't answer.

Fu Quezhou has been ordering him around like a beast of burden for so long, and he finally needs to make him anxious.

"Wei Ji, speak!"

You see, he is anxious.

"nothing."

After saying that, Wei Ji quickly moved the phone farther away to avoid the vibrations from hitting his ears.

The next second, Fu Quezhou's angry roar came from the phone.

"Wei Ji, you're itching for trouble again...!"

"beep--"

Wei Ji hung up the phone immediately, and the sound of silence suddenly fell.

Then he opened the window, took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Ah~ It feels so good!"

Fu Quezhou angrily threw his cell phone on the sofa. The elasticity of the sofa caused the phone to vibrate, waking up Su Yumian who was lying on the sofa.

He slowly opened his eyes, his voice weak, "What's wrong?"

When facing Su Yumian, Fu Quezhou put away the displeasure on his face and said softly, "It's nothing. You can sleep a little longer and rest at home tomorrow. I'll take care of the company."

This time Su Yumian did not refuse. He could feel that the medicine was a bit strong and he still felt weak after waking up from a sleep.

Afraid that Su Yumian would not sleep comfortably, Fu Quezhou carried him upstairs.

No words were spoken that night.

When the morning light first appeared, the fog was thick.

The sky was still tinged with crab-shell green, mixed with the night that had not yet faded, floating in the low sky, refusing to dissipate.

Su's father gently lifted the quilt and got up, put on the coat embroidered with orchids by Su's mother and prepared to go out to work.

“Knock knock knock—”

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, echoing in the quiet corridor.

Father Su was stunned and walked over to open the door. "Who is it? So early..."

But when he saw who was outside the door, he suddenly stopped, "Xiaobai?"

The person outside the door was Zhou Xubai.

Father Su was shocked when he saw the bruises on his face and one of his eyes was swollen.

"Xiaobai, who hit you in the face? Where's Mianmian?"

He glanced behind Zhou Xubai but did not see his son.

Zhou Xubai's face showed a solemn expression, and he said to Su's father, "Uncle, I have something very important to tell you."

Hearing this, Father Su frowned subconsciously, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

He hurriedly pulled Zhou Xubai into the house and said, "Come in first and we'll talk."

The living room was a little dim, and Su's father forgot to turn on the lights, so the atmosphere was very depressing.

After a long while, Zhou Xubai finally spoke slowly, "The wound on my face... was inflicted by Fu Quezhou."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su's father's body trembled instinctively. He knew who Fu Quezhou was.

When he first met Fu Quezhou, he gave him a very dangerous feeling.

He was vaguely worried, feeling that what Zhou Xubai was going to say next was something he couldn't bear.

"Xiaobai, what happened?" Father Su asked subconsciously, clenching his fists.

Zhou Xubai glanced at Su's father and suddenly knelt down, his voice filled with deep remorse.

"Uncle, it's my fault that I failed to protect Mian Mian and let him fall into the hands of that madman."

Zhou Xubai's sudden kneeling and acknowledgment of his mistake made Father Su even more anxious. He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Zhou Xubai told Su's father truthfully what kind of madman Fu Quezhou was and all the "glorious deeds" he had done.

After hearing this, Father Su felt a black screen before his eyes, staggered back several steps, and almost fell down.

When he heard that Su Yumian was strangled by Fu Quezhou, anger and guilt made Su's father cry with heartache.

He felt so uncomfortable just listening to Zhou Xubai's story, if he saw it with his own eyes...

He couldn't imagine how Su Yumian managed to survive.

Father Su pounded his chest repeatedly, eyes full of self-blame, "It's all because of us that Mianmian got into trouble. If it wasn't for the money to pay for our medical treatment, he wouldn't have..."

He suddenly stopped, stood up and said, "Call the police. We have to call the police and arrest that lunatic."

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhou Xubai.

"It's no use, uncle. Fu Quezhou is powerful and influential. Even if he is arrested, he will be released soon."

"Then what do you say we should do? I can't just watch my son sink deeper and deeper into the fire pit!"

Father Su's voice rose unconsciously. For the sake of his son, he would not be afraid even if it meant risking his life.

Zhou Xubai heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and said to Father Su, "I have a plan."

"Hurry up and tell me." Father Su urged.

"Call and trick Yu Mian back, then we'll move out of here and go to the countryside. I have a house there, and as long as we're there, Fu Quezhou won't be able to find us."

Hearing this, Father Su hesitated, "This...this room...and these things..."

It’s not that he couldn’t bear to part with these possessions, but moving was exhausting for him.

If Fu Quezhou was really that crazy, even if he moved to the countryside, it would probably only be a matter of time before he was found.

Seeing him hesitate, Zhou Xubai quickly added, "Just lock the house. As for these things, you can sneak back and get them later if you have the chance. The most important thing for us now is to rescue Yu Mian from that madman."

Father Su frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go pack my things first."

Father Su walked quickly into the bedroom and woke up his wife who was still sleeping. Then he gestured for a while and pointed at Zhou Xubai outside the door.

Su's mother can't speak, but she can read people's expressions.

Seeing Zhou Xubai appear at her house so early, combined with Su's father's sudden announcement of moving, she immediately guessed that something might have happened.

After nodding and greeting Zhou Xubai, he helped to clean up.

Soon, Father Su simply packed some clothes, shoes and socks that he would wear every day, came out with his bag and said, "Xiaobai, I've packed everything."

Zhou Xubai took a look and nodded, "Okay, the car I called will be here soon. Uncle, go call Yu Mian first and ask him to come back."

Father Su nodded and walked aside to call Su Yumian.

On the other side, inside the villa.

When Su Yumian woke up, Fu Quezhou had already gone to the company.

After a night's sleep, the effects of the medicine were completely eliminated and my energy returned.

He went downstairs in his slippers and saw Aunt Wu busy in the kitchen.

Then he asked, "Auntie Wu, what do you want to eat in the morning?"

"Tremella and lotus seed soup. This is what President Fu specifically ordered last night. He said that Tremella and lotus seed soup is nourishing and good for your health. I guarantee you will like it."

As she spoke, Aunt Wu scooped a bowl of hot lotus seed soup and placed it on the table.

Su Yumian came to the dining table and sat down. He picked up the bowl and smelled it. A sweet fragrance rushed into his nose.

He pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the spoon, scooped up some and put it into his mouth.

“So sweet.”

It’s sweet in the mouth and in the heart.

Seeing that he liked it, Aunt Wu smiled like a loving mother and said, "Then you eat first. I'll go out to see if Lao Wang is back. It took so long to buy some vegetables."

"Okay, go ahead."

In the dim basement, Lin Mo, who was so skinny and had sunken cheeks that he no longer looked like a human, heard the noise from above and began to struggle hard.

He had been tied to the chair for who knew how many days. Although the black cloth on his eyes had been removed, his mouth was still blocked.

Whenever Fu Quezhou was unhappy, he would come and vent his anger on him.

Usually Fu Quezhou and Su Yumian go to work, so there is no one in the villa.

Su Yumian is alone today, and this is his only chance to ask for help.

Thinking of this, he struggled hard, trying to prop up the chair with his feet, but he didn't control the strength well and the chair fell over.

The chair hit the ground with a loud noise, and the sound went straight up.

“Bang!”

Su Yumian paused and turned back subconsciously.

What sound?
