Chapter 36 Chapter 36 A strange light flashed in Ye Xiuming’s eyes…
Su Ting glanced at the message coldly, wondering what Zhou Xubai was up to.
But Ye Xiuming was so ill that he had no energy to think. He only knew that he still had time to take care of him and protect him before the building collapsed.
That's enough.
He sat motionless beside the bed, his eyes dull. Ye Xiuming on the bed seemed to have lost weight again. He was breathing with his mouth half open, revealing his clean little canine teeth.
Why does he have to be so busy dealing with work and that meaningless cocktail party?
Compared to Ye Xiuming's body, the cocktail party is really not worth mentioning.
Su Ting thought, even if his freedom was not worth mentioning, he still did not regret taking the initiative to put Ruan Zhiguo in jail. Anyone who bullied Ye Xiuming deserved to die, without exception.
For the first time, Su Ting felt that Ye Xiuming might be more important to him than to him.
When this thought came to mind, Ye Xiuming's fingers suddenly twitched, as if he had regained consciousness. Su Ting immediately leaned over and whispered to wake him up.
"Xiu Ming, Xiu Ming, wake up."
Ye Xiuming woke up in excruciating pain, probably from a burned esophagus. He pinched his throat helplessly, his eyes filled with stars as he said, "Dad, it hurts so much."
Su Ting tried hard to suppress his grief, pressed the call bell, and comforted him, "It will be fine in a moment."
When the nurse came over, she saw that Ye Xiuming might be frightened, because after the endoscopic examination yesterday, she found that the wound was not deep and conservative treatment would be enough, but a child would definitely not be able to bear such pain.
The nurse hurriedly taught him how to use deep abdominal breathing to regulate his emotions. Sure enough, Ye Xiuming quickly returned to normal. After giving him nutrient solution, Su Ting was left to take care of him.
Ye Xiuming's eyes were filled with tears, and he asked like a child who had done something wrong: "Little Dad, I ruined the party yesterday, don't you hate me?"
Su Ting was very concerned about Ye Xiuming's self-blame and sternly stopped him from being overly cautious: "In fact, the salmon you think is problematic was indeed poured with a strong alkaline substance. If anyone accidentally eats it, it will cause unpredictable consequences. This is a catastrophic cocktail party. So Xiuming, you saved Xiaoba."
"But... you haven't given your speech yet." Ye Xiu knew that the guests standing below were all heavyweights, and it would be a shame to let them make a wasted trip.
"It was that old woman, Zhou Xubai, who exaggerated the significance of this reception. Whether I give a speech or not, the red lights on the main board will still be on. These are just formalities. You'll understand when you grow up."
Ye Xiuming turned over with a sense of grievance, feeling that he was growing too slowly.
He couldn't share Su Ting's worries, couldn't take on responsibilities for him, and didn't even have the qualifications to stand by his side. He hated God for letting time go so slowly. He wanted time to go faster, he thought. He wanted to know the answers to life quickly.
It seemed as if the heavens had heard his call, and this time the illness was over quickly. He was small, had a fast metabolism, and a strong ability to heal himself, and soon he was able to eat normally again. Su Ting was afraid of sequelae, so he stayed with the doctor for a long time to confirm. The doctor gossiped, "You look quite young, how come you have such a big son?"
This was the first time Su Ting took this issue seriously.
God must have felt that he was lonely, so he sent a little ghost like this to keep him company.
He just said: "When I was young, I didn't know much."
The doctor covered his mouth and left.
After leaving the hospital, Su Ting suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing. After looking around, he couldn't see Zhou Xubai. He handed the discharge form to Ye Xiuming and immediately called Zhou Xubai.
"The number you dialed is powered off."
He returned to the company without stopping, searching the office, the conference room... every possible place, but still couldn't find Zhou Xubai. He went downstairs and asked the front desk, "Have you seen Zhou Xubai?"
The man saw that Su Ting was oblivious to what was happening outside and said tremblingly, "You... don't you know... yet? Mr. Zhou was taken away by... the police."
At this time, the financial director was coming out of the tea room with a cup of coffee. When she saw Su Ting, she was like seeing a rescuer, and even called her "my aunt" popped up. She clearly told her about Zhou Xubai and the company being investigated by the police, his personal accounts being frozen, and people coming to the company to question him.
Finally, he added, "However, Zhou Xubai did use personal property, which has nothing to do with the company. Phone records and surveillance footage also prove that this was Zhou Xubai's sole act."
She analyzed to herself, "Once this matter is disclosed, it will definitely affect the stock price, but it will not have a substantial impact."
Su Ting was a little annoyed. "Do I care about these?"
Ye Xiuming had no idea what they were talking about. He didn't dare ask any more questions since it involved company secrets. He just said, "Dad will be sentenced, right?"
The CFO and Su Ting were both silent.
He was a child, and children are always impatient, so he asked, "What on earth did Dad do?"
The financial director said, "It's because he bribed the district party secretary a while ago."
Su Ting immediately shouted: "Shut up."
In Ye Xiuming's immediate world, he only knew one district party secretary named Ruan.
"That secretary, is his last name Ruan?"
Financial Director: “Hey, how did you know?”
Su Ting just felt that the financial director was talking too much and almost gouged her with his eyes.
Ruan Zhiguo, the man who often follows Ye Xiuming's father around and flatters him, so he knows that some places welcome the introduction of enterprises and real estate companies.
But as the secretary of the board of directors of Feihe, why would Dad bribe him in return?
Is it... just for revenge?
A strange and gentle light flashed in Ye Xiuming's eyes, both towards Su Ting and Zhou Xubai.
His younger father and older father would really pay any price for a mere adopted son.
But he just couldn't be happy. There have been too many changes and twists and turns in the past few days. The lives of the two fathers seemed to have experienced ups and downs like a roller coaster. When the consequences of all this have to be borne by Su Ting's shoulders, will he really not hate himself because of the heavy pressure?
If I weren't there, everything would be fine.
Su Ting went straight to the detention center with his lawyer. Although the lawyer kept emphasizing that 5 million yuan would never get him released on bail, Su Ting seemed to have his ears cut off and refused to listen. Seeing that the lawyer could not persuade him, Zhou Xubai slowly reached out and touched Su Ting's thin face.
"Su Ting, now that things have come to this, you can only listen to your lawyer. Maybe if I sincerely repent, I can spend fewer years in prison. You don't have to worry about whether I'm doing well in prison. I'm doing well... except that I can't see you."
Su Ting smiled faintly: "You can always tell the police that it was me who did it."
Zhou Xubai felt that being confused was fine. Why bother caring about yours and mine? "I can't bear to see you suffer in there."
"Besides, even if the police wanted to arrest you, they have no evidence."
Su Ting had a somewhat grim thought, but Zhou Xubai stopped him as if he could read her mind: "Finding someone in the women's prison to kill Lin Yu is not worth it for you."
