Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
Su Jianming felt relieved when he saw his son endure it.
In the middle of the night, when everyone in the family was asleep, Su Jianming secretly got up, went to the kitchen, opened the floor-to-ceiling cupboard, and moved out the things inside, only to reveal an invisible small door.
If Su Tao were here, she would definitely be shocked that there was such a hiding place in the home where she had lived for more than ten years.
No wonder Pei Dong sent people to search the Su family but found no clues.
Su Jianming quickly opened it, and Su Zhengqing, who had been missing for many days, crawled out and said anxiously:
"Dad, I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"
Su Jianming stuffed the bread and meat pie he had secretly bought during the day into his hand and whispered:
"Zhengqing, it's no use hiding at home. Wait until the city defense forces relax their inspections these days, and then find a chance to escape to the East District. If you can't stay in the East District, then leave Dongyang."
Su Zhengqing finished eating voraciously and said while burping:
"I'm not willing to give up. That bitch Lan Lingling is still alive. I have to kill her before I leave."
Su Jianming said angrily, "You're still acting on impulse. What if you get caught for a woman? Listen to me, don't look for Lan Lingling. She barely leaves Taoyang right now. You don't stand a chance."
Su Zhengqing got angry when he heard the word "Taoyang":
"If it weren't for Taoyang, what's happening now wouldn't have happened, and I wouldn't have ended up in this terrible state! If I ever become powerful enough, I'll be the first to destroy Taoyang!"
Su Jianming was about to speak when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a pair of green eyes outside the kitchen window.
"What?!"
He was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
The black sesame seeds outside the window leaped into the night.
Su Tao was woken up by black sesame licking in the morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her consciousness entered the scene it had detected last night.
After a while, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and called Pei Dong:
"Sister Pei, I'll borrow two people from you to accompany me to the Su family. I know where Su Zhengqing is hiding, and I want to catch him myself."
Pei Dong drove to Taoyang himself without saying a word.
Su Tao got on the car with Xue Dao in hand. She didn't see anyone there, so she was about to ask when she heard Pei Dong say:
"Zining is not here, and I am worried about the others, so I will go with you."
Su Tao was touched, nodded, and closed the car door.
Su Tao said nothing along the way. When she arrived downstairs of the Su family's building, a neighbor recognized her and waved to her and greeted her:
"Taotao, you haven't been home for a long time. I heard from your father that you joined the army. Are you doing well?"
Su Tao smiled back: "It's okay, but this is not my home."
The neighbors were stunned and wanted to ask more questions when they saw her quickly go upstairs with a cold face.
Since it was still early, Su Jianming and Su Zhenglan were still at home. Li Ronglian had just fallen asleep after coaxing Tangdou all night.
Su Tao knocked on the door loudly and rudely.
Su Zhenglan opened the door irritably. Seeing that it was Su Tao, his expression changed instantly. Shock was mixed with surprise, and even a hint of expectation: "Little sister? You——"
Before he could finish his words, Pei Dong put his gun to his forehead and showed his ID with his other hand: "Search."
Su Jianming had just finished putting on his clothes and came out. Seeing Pei Dong holding his ID, he subconsciously shouted:
"Haven't we searched it already? Why are you still here? You're disturbing the public! Get out!"
But the next second, Xue Dao jumped out and barked at him, scaring him so much that he took a step back. However, when he looked up, he saw Su Tao running straight towards the kitchen.
Su Jianming was both frightened and angry: "Su Tao? What are you doing?!"
He wanted to follow to the kitchen, but was stopped by the ferocious big black dog in front of him, making him afraid to move.
Amid his scolding, Su Tao pulled out all the things in the cupboard, opened the door, and pulled the confused Su Zhengqing out.
Before Su Zhengqing could even shout, the little sister he always bullied pointed a gun at his head.
He was so shocked that he even suspected for a moment that he was dreaming.
"you"
Su Tao loaded the gun and shot him in the ankle.
Su Zhengqing screamed, covered his ankle and fell to the ground, blood quickly spreading on the tiles.
Li Ronglian, who was awakened, rushed over and saw this scene. She screamed, covered her mouth and stepped back repeatedly, looking at Su Tao with fear and disbelief.
Su Tao put away the gun, looked at the pale-faced Su Jianming coldly and said:
"I didn't know there were people hiding here. It's really hard for me to find them."
Su Jianming wanted to ask how she knew this, why she cooperated with the city defense forces to capture his elder brother, and when she learned to use a gun.
There were so many questions, but he felt his tongue was stiff and he couldn't utter a word.
Only Su Zhengqing himself was wailing and cursing on the ground:
"Su Tao! What gives you the right? Ah—it hurts!"
Su Tao kicked him in the stomach: "Do you feel the pain now? When you colluded with others to hurt Lan Lingling, do you know how much pain she felt?"
"What the hell is this to you?!"
Su Tao stepped on his head with both feet again, crushing his ears fiercely:
"Listen to me clearly. Whether it has anything to do with me today or not, I'm going to kill you. I won't bother with you about the bullying you did to me when we were kids, but you have to pay for Lan Lingling and the bombing."
"Sister Pei!"
Pei Dong took out handcuffs and quickly handcuffed Su Zhengqing's hands and feet behind his back, then dragged him out of the kitchen.
Su Jianming knew that things had come to this point and there was no room for maneuver, so he said in a trembling voice:
"Adjutant Pei, please spare his life no matter what. Send him to the army or do hard labor. Please understand my fatherly feelings."
Pei Dong glanced at him and said, "Mr. Su, in your eyes, Su Zhengqing is probably the only one who is your biological son."
As for Su Zhenglan and Su Tao, he never felt sorry for them.
Su Jianming seemed to have grasped something important and turned to Su Tao and said:
"Taotao, please help your brother. We are siblings, there must be some misunderstandings between you. Those things that happened when you were little were because your brother was young and ignorant. It's my fault that I didn't educate him well and made you suffer."
Su Tao's eyes were as calm as the Dead Sea, and she only said one sentence: "Sister Pei, let's go."
Su Zhenglan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Little sister."
Su Tao turned around and looked at him as if he were a stranger.
Although this second brother never bullied him much, he was also a bystander, watching her being bullied by Su Zhengqing and Jiang Jinwei since childhood.
What Su Zhenglan wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
Su Zhengqing was taken back to the prison and tortured for an entire afternoon. Finally, he revealed the names and hiding places of his other two accomplices besides Fei Pengyi, who made the bomb.
Pei Dong did not delay at all and captured the two men that night.
According to Pei Dong, these people are social scum who hate Taoyang and have criminal records to some extent.
Fei Pengyi and Su Zhengqing are both main culprits, the circumstances are serious, and they showed no remorse during the interrogation, so they will be executed directly.
The other two were sent to the front line as exiles.
At this point, all the people involved in the Taoyang explosion case have been arrested and the case has finally been concluded.
Su Tao let out a sigh of relief. Once the announcement was made, the bomb hanging over the heads of the Taoyang tenants fell to the ground.
Zhuang Wan also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, there's a result. Although no one said anything, I know they're still worried about another explosion. This can be considered an explanation to everyone."
Su Tao nodded, took two sips of the black sesame, and added some snacks for it as a midnight snack.
Watching it eat deliciously, touching its head and sighing:
"Great hero, your special ability is not useless to me."
