Chapter 20: One is warm, the other is cold

Shao Ting'an frowned slightly, as if he was recalling something seriously.

After thinking for a moment, he heard the voice say, "The night before last, the experiment in our factory reached a critical moment. I was in the factory watching the data and did not go home."

After hearing what he said, the two policemen looked at each other. It was consistent with their previous investigation, so Shao Ting'an should not have lied.

Su Li was quite surprised. She thought he was with Zhao Xinran, but she didn't expect that he had been in the factory all the time.

In his previous life, he devoted himself to his work, otherwise Su Li would not have doubted him at all.

The tall policeman sighed and said, "Based on our investigation today, we haven't found any witnesses yet. The riverside is not far from Xixia Hutong, so it should be quite popular with people seeking shade. But the problem is that there's a garbage dump where your father was killed, so there are a lot of mosquitoes and no one goes near it."

The chubby officer added, "We've interviewed many people, and they all said they didn't see anyone suspicious near the river. The police are still investigating, and we'll keep you informed as soon as we have any news."

After the police left, Xu Mingzhe pushed the door open and came in. "Comrade Su, I think Doctor Fu's assessment of your father's condition is correct. At this point, your father still shows no signs of waking up. You should be mentally prepared."

Su Li panicked when she heard this, her voice anxious, "What do you mean by mental preparation? My dad is just asleep, he will wake up sooner or later."

"I understand your feelings, and I also hope your father can wake up, but we also have to prepare for the worst. If he can't wake up for a long time, it will be a big burden on your family."

"My dad has never been a burden. He'll wake up."

Su Li said this coldly and turned away.

Shao Ting'an smiled politely, "Don't be offended, Doctor Xu. My father-in-law dotes on my wife, and she can't accept it for the time being. Please don't be angry."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Xu." Su Mingde also apologized.

"It's okay. I understand."

"We will not give up on my dad. He has worked hard all his life, and it is our duty to respect him and take care of him."

Xu Mingzhe looked at Su Mingde's back and shook his head. These brother and sister are really filial.

"Doctor Xu, please take care of my father-in-law."

"Brother, it really is you."

Shao Tingting came up and pulled him towards the corridor entrance.

"What are you doing?"

Shao Tingting glanced at both sides of the corridor and whispered, "Mom told you to stay out of the Su family's affairs and keep an eye on your money. If Su Li's father really becomes a vegetable, he'll have to rely on you for future expenses."

"He's my father-in-law, how can I not care? Come on, stop talking to Mom when you get home. You're just adding fuel to the fire."

"Hey, you... no wonder mom said you forgot your mother after you got married."

"Don't meddle in my business. You should have some manners. Your sister-in-law's father is in such a serious condition, and you didn't even greet him in the hospital. Do you have any manners? Go back and tell your parents and ask them to bring some gifts."

"You're dreaming! You even asked Dad to come and see them, without even considering their status."

After saying that, Shao Tingting turned around and left. A hint of depth flashed in Shao Tingan's eyes, and he sighed helplessly. It was very likely that his parents would not come.

For the next two days, Su Li stayed by her father's bedside almost non-stop, praying silently that her father would wake up.

Zhao Xinran also did what he said. He came to deliver meals on time in the morning, noon and evening, and helped Su Li take care of Su Danian.

The aunt in the ward praised her as a hardworking and thoughtful girl when she saw her.

Su Li just listened silently without agreeing or refutation, because there was no way to refute it.

"Xiao Li, you haven't left the ward for three days. Go get some fresh air. Zhao Yatou and I are here."

Su Li shook her head. "It's nice here. I don't want to go."

She has been unable to figure it out these past two days, and even suspected that her rebirth had brought disaster to her father. Otherwise, how could something happen that did not happen in the previous life?

Before she could avenge herself, her father passed away. Su Li was extremely depressed.

"Go for a walk and change your mood. It's painful to watch you wait for your dad to wake up like this."

Seeing her mother worried about her, Su Li took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go out for some fresh air."

She didn't walk far, but sat down on a bench downstairs in the inpatient department.

The setting sun burned the sky red, and she stared at the sky aimlessly.

"What are you thinking about?"

A cold voice sounded slowly.

Su Li slowly turned her head and blinked at Fu Jinzhou, who had sat down beside her at some point.

The man's resolute and aloof face gave people a completely different feeling from Shao Tingan.

One is warm, the other is cold.

Fu Jinzhou sat there motionless, letting her look at him.

"Why, you don't recognize me?"

Su Li suddenly came back to her senses and shook her head, "When did you come back?"

"Just got back and put some documents in the office. I saw you observing the sky from afar. Did you see anything?"

Su Li pursed her lips slightly, "Tomorrow will be sunny, with no wind and no rain."

Fu Jinzhou raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly. "The high temperature continues. The weather is hot."

Su Li nodded, "Yes, the temperature remains high."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and there was silence again.

Fu Jinzhou saw how haggard Su Li looked. Compared to her previous bright and charming appearance, she looked much dimmer now.

"I've heard about your father's situation. Oftentimes, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"You don't have to comfort me, I can figure it out."

She did figure it out, she was just wondering what to do next?

She will not give up on her father's affairs or her own revenge.

She needs to collect more photos. Shao Tingan’s new harvester will be put into production soon, and many leaders will be present. She will then show the photos.

At his most glorious moment, his scandal was exposed to the public.

Her current revenge is not difficult to find, but the person who killed her father has not been found yet.

Time passes by little by little, and the longer we delay, the slimmer the chance of finding evidence.

"I'm glad you figured it out." Fu Jinzhou looked at the cardboard bag in his hand and said with hesitation, "I brought some things with me on a business trip. I originally wanted to give them to Xu Mingzhe. I don't think he gave them to you."

"It's not appropriate. You helped me twice and I didn't even have the chance to thank you." Su Li felt a little embarrassed.

"It's hot, and these candies will melt quickly. If they're left in my office, they won't be edible tomorrow."

Su Li smiled and didn't refuse when she heard it was candy. "Thank you."

When Shao Tingting heard that Fu Jinzhou had returned, she searched the entire hospital for him. When she saw him sitting with Su Li, her face instantly darkened.

This woman is married but still attracts men. A married woman sitting alone with a man is not a good wife!

She calmed down for a while and walked towards Fu Jinzhou in small steps.

"Doctor Fu, didn't you say you'd be gone for five days? Why are you back so soon?"

Fu Jinzhou's slightly raised lips instantly dropped when he saw her, and he said calmly, "It went smoothly, and it ended early."

"I heard he's an internationally renowned surgical expert. It seems experts are just incredibly efficient."

Shao Tingting made small talk and secretly winked at Su Li.

Su Li understood what she meant at a glance, but Su Li liked to pretend to be ignorant even though she knew the truth. She acted as if she didn't see anything and didn't move at all.

Just like Shao Tingting, who is arrogant and domineering, has little knowledge, and still wants to marry the cold and aloof medical talent Fu Jinzhou?

It's a pipe dream!

It’s better not to waste the young talents!
