“I have found my identity, my family, and I will not leave here.”

"Also, don't change the subject."

"Why did you send people to follow me?"

Li Susu bluntly exposed Chen Ke's lie; she was no longer the weak and helpless girl she was three years ago.

Chen Ke noticed Li Susu's anger and disappointment. His eyes flickered for a moment, then he put on a fawning expression and moved closer to Li Susu.

"Su Su, you've misunderstood me. I really did it to protect you."

"Do you know? For the past three years, I've worried about you every single day, I..."

"I love you, Su Su."

Chen Ke finally revealed his true feelings, his tone filled with long-suppressed emotions.

Li Susu interrupted him without any mercy.

"Stop talking, Chen Ke."

"I have felt your love and your possessiveness over the past three years."

"I've always hesitated to explain myself because of my status as your savior."

"But now, I must tell you, I don't love you, Chen Ke."

"My feelings for you are only gratitude, and I only want to be your friend."

Li Susu's tone was calm and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Ke's face turned pale instantly, and a trace of pain and resentment flashed in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

Is it because of Fu Xingzhou?

"He's a despicable person. He's the one who sent someone to cause my car accident and injury!"

Li Susu's sharp gaze shot towards Chen Ke.

Do you have any evidence?

Chen Ke gave a bitter laugh, his tone tinged with self-deprecation and a hint of playing the victim.

"How could I possibly joke about my own life?"

Li Susu took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart.

"Chen Ke, I think we both need to calm down."

That's all for today.

She dismissed him, her tone calm yet unwavering.

Chen Ke showed no intention of leaving; he stood stubbornly in place, his eyes filled with hurt and grievance.

"Susu, why do you always treat me like this?"

"Ever since Fu Xingzhou appeared, there have been conflicts between us."

"It's all because of him, he's the one who interfered!"

Chen Ke's voice grew increasingly agitated, as if he wanted to pour out all his grievances.

Li Susu looked at him coldly, her eyes even showing a hint of impatience.

She no longer wanted to hear Chen Ke's explanation, nor did she want to continue arguing with him.

To her, Chen Ke's words sounded more like an unreasonable attempt to shirk responsibility.

He seemed completely unaware that the problem wasn't with Fu Xingzhou, but with himself.

His intense possessiveness and desire for control were the real reasons that led to the breakdown of their relationship.

An awkward silence filled the air. Chen Ke stared blankly at Li Susu, not understanding how things had developed to this point.

He originally thought that as long as he confessed his feelings, Li Susu would be moved and would come back to his side.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Li Susu's indifference and decisiveness made him feel extremely frustrated and desperate.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ke finally gave in.

He slumped his shoulders helplessly, his tone tinged with a sense of resignation and pleading.

"Okay, Su Su, I'll give you some time to calm down."

"But one day you will understand that in this world, the only person who is truly good to you is me."

He gave Li Susu a deep look, then turned and left the office.

Li Susu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

Chen Ke's figure disappeared through the door, and the office returned to silence.

She rubbed her aching temples, feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Knock knock knock.

The assistant knocked and entered, breaking the silence of the office.

"President Li, we've uncovered some clues about Longteng Real Estate."

The assistant's voice carried a hint of excitement, as if he had discovered some important clue.

Li Susu raised her head, gesturing for her to continue.

"The owner of Longteng Real Estate is named Yan Ke, and he comes from Gangcheng."

"He's said to be a nouveau riche who made his fortune from a lottery ticket."

"In just one year, they have achieved considerable success and entered Kyoto's business district."

The assistant paused, his tone becoming somewhat puzzled.

"But in recent months, several of his projects have stalled."

“We discovered a private overseas account with a large amount of funds flowing in from unknown sources.”

Li Susu frowned slightly, a thought flashing through her mind.

Money laundering.

Money obtained through illegitimate means is then slowly laundered through projects that fail to materialize.

If that's the case, then the seriousness of the matter far exceeds her imagination.

"Were there any other discoveries?"

Li Susu pressed on, her tone tinged with seriousness.

"Not yet, but we are still investigating."
