Chapter 444: Just Friends

"What's your relationship with that guy?"

"friend."

"Just friends?"

"Just friends!"

"Not bad, this relationship saved this kid's life. If you were a couple, this kid wouldn't be able to walk out of here alive today."

"Why don't you let him go right away?!"

Su Man looked at the dying Fang Zhiming on the screen with an anxious tone.

The man raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "It's not time yet. Your father said we should fight for an hour. It's only been less than twenty minutes."

"An hour?! He wouldn't have lasted five minutes longer!"

The man chuckled twice, "Don't worry, you won't die. Our people know how to use restraint."

"If the fight continues like this, even if he doesn't die, he will be crippled!" Su Man was very worried.

"It would be better if I became disabled. I won't gamble anymore."

Su Man said angrily, "Where's Su Changhai? Why didn't he come to see me himself? I came here today just to find him. If my friend hadn't come here to accompany me, he wouldn't have owed your stacker a million for nothing."

The man pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want to do with him?"

"I have something to ask him."

The man stopped talking. He didn't agree to meet Su Man, nor did he say he wouldn't meet her.

Su Man waited for a moment in confusion.

The lights in the office went out, and the man walked out of another door, which led to another space.

It seems that this conference room is connected to somewhere else.

On the screen.

The beating of Fang Zhiming was over.

The bodyguards stopped and carried Fang Zhiming out from both sides.

The secret room was empty.

Su Man looked around the conference room where she was. It was quiet, as if she was the only one left.

But Su Man always felt that there was a pair of eyes hiding somewhere in the dark, silently observing her.

"Why don't you dare come to see me? Are you guilty?

"...Since you don't want me anymore, why are you still pretending to send people to protect me? Do you think that's fulfilling your responsibilities as a father? Actually, there's really no need. These responsibilities may make you feel better, but they don't help me at all. They haven't made my life any better.

"You put me in my uncle and aunt's house, thinking I'd had a good life all these years? I never stop thinking that it would have been better if you had never given birth to me. Don't say I don't know how to be grateful. I don't ask you to be responsible, and you don't ask me to be grateful to you as your child."

Su Man paused and suppressed the sob in her throat.

The voice is cold:

"If you really feel sorry for me, then tell me if Mom is still in this world and where I can go to find her. I want to see her."

The words fell.

The conference room returned to silence.

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Just now, Su Man seemed like a fool talking to herself.

Su Man sneered at herself.

She turned around to open the door of the conference room. Just as she put her hand on the doorknob, the handle was twisted open before she could move.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Su Man quickly took two steps back.

The bodyguard outside came in and said in a flat and stiff voice, "You can leave now."

Suman asked, "Where are my friends?"

The bodyguard didn't answer her, but turned and left.

Su Man had no choice but to follow.

This time they didn't take the same route they came from, and Su Man felt even more confused.

After leaving the building, Su Man finally breathed the fresh air outside.

The dark blue sky is dotted with a few dazzling stars.

In front of the building, there is a fountain pool surrounding the building. There are two golden toads in the pool, and the toads' mouths are filled with coins thrown into them by people.

Two koi fish waved their chubby bodies in the pond and swam in another direction.

Su Man silently memorized the buildings and terrain here.

At this time, several people walked towards Su Man and the others in the building.

Su Man looked at the dark figures through the night. When they got closer, she found that they were two bodyguards dragging the injured Fang Zhiming.

Behind them were three bodyguards.

Su Man hurried forward, "Fang Zhiming, how do you feel?"

"I feel... like I'm dying." Fang Zhiming gasped.

One of his eyes was swollen like a big egg and he could not open it at all.

The corner of his mouth was also broken, leaving a cut, and dark red blood formed a scab.

The bodyguards held Fang Zhiming with expressionless faces.

Just as Suman was about to ask how they were going to get out of here, a car drove up in front of the building.

Before Su Man could react, the bodyguard had already stuffed her and Fang Zhiming into the car.

The car was an eight-seater commercial vehicle. The window curtains were drawn, so Su Man couldn't see the scenery on both sides. The fender in front of the car was raised, so she couldn't see the road conditions ahead.

About ten minutes later, the car stopped.

The bodyguard opened the car door and urged: "Get out."

Su Man got out of the car first, and Fang Zhiming, who was behind her, was almost kicked out. If Su Man hadn't gone up to support him, he would probably have rolled out.

The two were dropped off in a busy city.

The bodyguard threw Suman’s bag at Suman’s feet and closed the door.

The car drove away.

——Su Man’s bag was taken away by the bodyguards before she entered the building.

Su Man picked up the bag, took out her cell phone and used the taxi app to call a taxi, and found that more than 50 missed calls popped up on her phone.

All of them belong to Xiao Beisheng and Gao Xun.

They are looking for her.

Su Man hesitated for a while, Fang Zhiming behind her groaned in pain. She closed the pop-up messages and opened the taxi app to hail a taxi.

Not long after, the car arrived.

Su Man took Fang Zhiming to the hospital.

All the injuries on Fang Zhiming's body were caused by blunt force trauma. The doctor prescribed some medicine for bruises and injuries and left Fang Zhiming alone.

"Suman, I want to go home."

"Then I'll take you back."

Su Man felt a little guilty because strictly speaking, Fang Zhiming was beaten because of her.

According to the address Fang Zhiming gave, Su Man took another taxi.

Seeing that Fang Zhiming was inconvenienced, the driver kindly took them to the community, downstairs of the unit building where Fang Zhiming lived.

Su Man helped Fang Zhiming upstairs. Along the way, Su Man's mind was in a mess:

Today was not a complete failure.

At least, she completely confirmed that Su Changhai was indeed at the Golden Arch.

He is still a person with some say, and people are willing to work hard for him.

He might really be the second-in-command of the gambling beach, just like Chen Ma said...

Realize this.

Su Man always felt like she saw a giant python hiding in the bushes, and behind this python, there were more unknown dangers...

"Suman?"

"ah?"

"I said, the door is stuck under the carpet."

"Oh, okay."

Su Man lifted the carpet and saw a magnetic card under it.

When the door was opened, the furnishings in the room came into view.

It can be seen that this is a single man's residence.

It was cleaned fairly neatly, and there weren't many personal belongings inside, enough for basic daily needs.

But his personal hobbies and preferences are not apparent, and it can be said that they are a bit monotonous.

Su Man helped Fang Zhiming walk to the living room. Just as she settled Fang Zhiming down on the sofa, she turned around and was attracted by the large red light coming from the bedroom.

Su Man unconsciously looked towards the dark red light and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The door of the guest room was half open, and there was a memorial tablet inside. Electronic red candles emitted a eerie red light in the darkness.

Especially creepy.
