"Xiangxiang, why aren't you eating?" Su's mother asked.

Su Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment. The eyes of the whole family finally fell on her, but not in the way she wanted.

She forced a smile and said, "I'm too tired, I have no appetite."

The mere thought that Su Shaoze might tamper with the surgical plan or the procedure itself, endangering Chu Xun's life, made her unable to eat anything.

Su's mother said, "If you can't eat, go and rest."

These words were like a salvation for Su Xiangxiang.

She told everyone to take their time eating, and then hurriedly left the restaurant.

Chu Xun may be in danger.

She needs to go to the hospital.

She had to find a way to prevent Su Shaoze from participating in the upcoming surgery!

After she left, Su Shaoyang couldn't help but sneer, "She scared the crap out of her. Just because she's a petty person doesn't mean everyone is like her."

Chu Xun can die.

They could die on the operating table despite all efforts to save them.

But he would never die on the operating table operated by Su Shaoze, and the cause of death could not have been that Su Shaoze used his professional skills to take revenge by tampering with the surgery.

Su Shaoze would never stoop to such a thing.

This is the most basic professional ethic that any doctor should possess.

Neither of Su's father nor the others spoke, since they had already learned from Yan Can's inner thoughts that Su Xiangxiang had framed Su Shaoze.

Yan Zhuo was unaware of the details, but he had guessed a thing or two.

[People with heart conditions see everything as dirty.]

[No wonder she bribed someone to tamper with the surgery and kill someone, Su Xiangxiang.]

[However, as the male lead, Chu Xun shouldn't die so easily; at most, he'll just need to undergo more surgeries and suffer more.]

Yan Can's heartfelt words further confirmed what Yan Zhuo was thinking.

Even Su Shaoze got into trouble.

What else did Su Xiangxiang do?

After dinner, everyone went to the living room, where the TV in the background was playing the episode about Su Shaoyang taking leave.

The episode became a hot topic because of the alleged sexual harassment by guest star He Xu. After all, He Xu had visited one of the actresses on set, and the two openly kissed and hugged on camera.

Although the production team knew they were just friends with benefits, netizens didn't, and therefore, after He Xu's relationship was exposed, they felt a lot of sympathy for the actress.

The actress capitalized on the situation by claiming she had been scammed, which generated another wave of online traffic.

But then, a detective released a video of the actress passionately kissing another idol star in a car.

Netizen: "..."

So, even if it was consensual, neither of us is innocent?

They're treating the onlookers like fools!

Because of this little incident, the production team gained a lot of attention.

But a scandal is a scandal. Even if the actress has powerful backers, her scenes in the show were still edited out or replaced when it aired.

When Su Xiangxiang came downstairs, the program was already coming to an end.

"Mom and Dad."

"I'm not feeling well and I'd like to go out for a bit."

Her face was pale, and she was clutching her stomach with one hand, looking like she was really uncomfortable.

Su's father hummed in agreement.

Su's mother said, "Have your eldest brother take you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Xiangxiang interrupted her in a flustered manner, "No, no need, Mom! My older brother just got back from his business trip, let him rest well, I can go by myself."

Su's mother: "Are you really capable of this yourself?"

Just as Su Xiangxiang was about to speak, her mother added, "We were all at the hospital when Can Can was injured. You're not feeling well, how can your family not be with you?"

If it were before, Su Xiangxiang would have agreed long ago.

She even thought more than once that she wished she had been the one who fell.

In that way, all the benefits Yan Can enjoys will belong to her, and her family will feel guilty because she was injured, thus making up for her neglect of Yan Can.

But that's clearly impossible now.

She smiled sweetly and said softly, "That's different. My sister is so badly injured, she can't be left without someone to take care of her. I just have a little stomach pain, it's not serious. I'll go to the hospital to get checked out and then come right back."

Seeing that her mother still wouldn't budge, she said that she wasn't alone and that her friends would be waiting for her at the hospital.

Su's mother asked which friend it was.

Su Xiangxiang casually said, "Chen Zhou."

Chen Zhou was willing to do anything for her, so let's find a way to stop Su Shaoze for her first.

She didn't care what methods Chen Zhou used.

She only cares about the result.

But this name caused the Su family members present to frown.

Su's mother: "Then go ahead."

After Su Xiangxiang left, Yan Zhuo asked sharply, "Who is Chen Zhou?"

This is a question that could cost you your life.

Chen Zhou's fate.

...

Hospital.

"Director Su, I just saw your sister. Is she here to see you?"

After his colleague finished speaking, Su Shaoze raised an eyebrow.

Half an hour ago, Yangyang called him and explained the situation, telling him to be careful of Su Xiangxiang to prevent her from using dirty tricks. She also said that the bodyguards her older brother sent were on their way.

I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the office door.

Before anyone inside could say "come in," Su Xiangxiang pushed the door open a crack to peek inside.

"Su Xiangxiang".

A cold voice sounded from behind, and Su Xiangxiang shuddered in fright.

She turned around in surprise and looked at Su Shaoze, whose face was half-hidden in the darkness. She felt that it was more terrifying than seeing a demon.

"Second, second brother."

Su Xiangxiang spoke cautiously, her voice so low it was almost inaudible.

Su Shaoze didn't respond, but instead pushed the door open and walked straight in, bypassing her.

Su Xiangxiang's expression changed repeatedly, resentment overflowing from her eyes. She hesitated for half a minute before slowly walking into the office.

"Second brother, what are you doing today?"

Su Xiangxiang asked.

Su Shaoze raised his eyelids and asked directly, "What do you want to ask?"

Su Xiangxiang was taken aback.

Why did he ask that?

Did he find out something?

Under Su Shaoze's gaze, Su Xiangxiang forced herself to speak, "I heard you came to work overtime temporarily, and I want to know... is your coming to work related to... Chu... Xun?"

Su Shaoze: "What if that's the case?"

Su Xiangxiang was immediately stumped.

It was indeed for Brother Chu Xun's surgery.

Her mind raced, and finally, amidst the jumbled thoughts, she found a seemingly reasonable explanation: "So... how is he?"

Before Su Shaoze could answer, she hurriedly explained, "Brother Chu Xun helped me when he first returned to the country. I saw on the news that he was seriously injured, but I can't get into the operating room, so I wanted to ask you."

Chu Xun's fate is unknown, and the suspect's whereabouts are unknown.

For safety reasons, the Chu family arranged for bodyguards to stand guard outside the operating room.

Apart from core medical staff, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach.

Even Su Xiangxiang, who was favored by Chu Xun, only stood in the corridor and glanced at the bustling operating room from afar.

Su Shaoze said, "No good."

Su Xiangxiang's breath hitched, the worry on her face froze instantly, and her small face turned ashen.
