Chapter 56
A few days after the accident, the cruise ship had left the port and all the injured were sent to the hospital for treatment, but the rescue team was still working at sea.
It is said that some passengers panicked and fell into the sea during the fire. The salvage team searched around the port and indeed found two passengers who had drowned.
But none of them is Su He.
When the news reached Sheng Jinyu's ears, his heart was still aching, but fortunately, fortunately it was not.
Sheng Jin and his men captured Lin Jing and his group alive on the ship. When Lin Jing saw that the matter was exposed, he refused to say anything about Su He's whereabouts. In addition, the surveillance on the ship was affected by the explosion and the lines had been damaged. They became the last people to see Su He.
His patience was running out, so he kept the group of people hanging and interrogating them for a long time, and finally confirmed the point where Su He fell into the sea.
In the office.
Sheng Jinyu leaned back in his chair, frowning. Three consecutive days of sleepless nights were about to break his nerves. Now any ringtone on his cell phone could be news from the salvage team.
No matter whether the news was good or bad, his tense nerves could not relax.
Next to the messy documents was a white brocade box with a line of gold-plated characters "forever" engraved on it. There was a pair of matching rings, and the concave and convex designs on the rings allowed them to fit together perfectly.
One of them was still lying quietly in the brocade box, and the other one, which was larger in circumference, was hung on a silver chain around Sheng Jin's neck.
Anyway, he has a one-sided love for her, and he doesn't know whether the other owner of the ring is willing to wear it.
Assistant Fang knocked on the door and came in, asking him what to do with the people who were still locked up in the basement.
Sheng Jinyu rubbed his brows and told him to deal with the others according to the old rules, sending them back to warn their master. As for Lin Jing, he slowly said, "Let him breathe for now, and we'll talk about it after he's found."
Wait until someone finds it...
It was a simple sentence, but everyone knew how difficult it was, but Assistant Fang could only nod.
No one could drift at sea for three days and still return safely. Now, either the person was gone, or he wasn't even at sea. Moreover, he had just received the news...
After much deliberation, Special Assistant Fang finally said, "Master, it has been confirmed that the explosion had nothing to do with the kidnappers. It was...it was Director Sheng's idea."
The person on the chair sat up instantly. A moment later, Sheng Jinyu called Sheng Zonglan. He rarely took the initiative to contact this father, and every time he did, the relationship was almost tense.
Sheng Zonglan seemed to have known why he came, so he said straight to the point: "I didn't expect that you would be willing to take risks for an unrelated person. You are still so stupid."
"Where did you take him?" Sheng Jinyu asked coldly.
Sheng Zonglan snorted and laughed. When the father and son made such expressions, their expressions were almost strangely imaginative.
He said lightly, "If you had listened to me and returned with my men, this explosion wouldn't have happened. I just never imagined that my selfish son would be so courageous."
He was very dissatisfied with Sheng Jinyu. At this critical juncture when the Sheng family was in a state of fierce fighting, his son exposed such a childish weakness.
"The person is indeed with me. If you want him to be safe, just listen to me and come back to do what you should do." After Sheng Zonglan finished speaking, he immediately hung up the call.
He pinched the fish food and sprinkled it into the bathtub. Secretary Chen asked worriedly, "Director Sheng, the person is definitely not with us. Will Young Master Sheng believe it?"
Sheng Zonglan said calmly: "A dead person won't jump out to confront me anyway. Whether he lives or dies is up to me."
After a pause, he asked again, "Has the body not been retrieved yet?"
Secretary Chen shook his head and said, "Young Master Sheng's people are also looking for us, so we dare not be too blatant."
"Keep sending people to watch over him. If he's lucky enough to survive, bring him back."
"yes."

Su He stayed in the tavern for two days. Every day he either sat at the door in a daze or sat in the house in a daze. He was more taciturn than before, but he was an easy-going person after all.
When there are many people in the store, Su He will also help, but he can't learn Cui Huan's work. However, he can't be a bartender if he only serves one glass.
At first, several employees in the pub just observed him quietly, but later they gradually started talking to him. Su He asked Cui Huan every day when their boss would show up. He had a lot of questions to ask and he could hardly stay any longer.
Cui Huan seemed perfunctory in not replying. He waved his hand and said that his boss was on a business trip and it depended on her mood when he would come back.
Su He sighed softly. Seeing that he always looked listless, Cui Huan came up to him while washing cups and started chatting: "What's your relationship with that Sheng guy? Do you rich people really put on this kind of passionate drama every day, jumping into the sea at the slightest provocation?"
"You actually don't know who he is, right?" Su He wiped the cup slowly.
Cui Huan hesitated for a moment before answering, "Our boss ordered us not to contact anyone named Sheng."
Su He was completely certain that the people in this store were just ordinary people who didn't know his identity and just did things as he was told for the money. So he had to meet the person behind the scenes.
"Ever since I met you, you've been crying all day, like you were lovesick. So, why did you jump into the sea? Did you offend some big shot? Or maybe you couldn't stand the forced love from a wealthy family, so you faked your death and ran away?"
Seeing that Cui Huan's guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Su He finally showed some expression on his face. He smiled and wondered if lovesickness could be considered a condition.
But he had nightmares these days. He dreamed that he and Sheng Jinyu fell into the sea together. Sheng Jinyu failed to catch him, and his body, as heavy as a lead block, gradually sank into the deep sea. He watched the figure running towards him, but he could never catch it.
When I wake up, I am often sweating profusely and gasping for breath as if I am suffocating.
Su He stood up and put the cleaned cup back, jokingly saying, "Read less novels."
As evening approached, the clerk on duty changed shifts and Cui Huan was the only one left in the store. He asked Su He to go to a nearby fast food restaurant to pick up the dinner they had ordered for two people.
Su He was carrying his lunch box through the alley when he heard rustling sounds coming from the alley beside him.
He turned his head to look over and saw a staggering drunk man blocking the way of a long-haired woman, and was pestering her relentlessly. Su He walked in without thinking, and did not forget to put the lunch box in a safe place.
He remembered that Sheng Jin and Xian Lai Wu Shi had taught him fighting skills. Although Su He did not learn it very well, he still looked pretty good at the start. He hooked his arm around the drunkard's shoulder and tripped him, knocking him down.
Perhaps because it fell too quickly, the man felt embarrassed and while struggling to get up he picked up a piece of gravel and threw it over.
Su He subconsciously dodged, allowing the gravel to barely pass by him. When he looked up again, he heard a bang and the drunk man was kicked into the garbage dump by the woman.
He finally had time to take a look at the woman in front of him. His facial features made it hard to tell her age, but she looked about thirty years old. She had light makeup on her face, a small leather jacket on her upper body, and her long black hair draped behind her. She looked quite capable.
The woman dialed the town police station as usual. This probably wasn't her first time encountering such a situation. After explaining the situation, the woman looked over and said, "Thank you, brother. Would you like to have a drink at my bar? It's just up the street."
Su He had already picked up his lunch box. Upon hearing this, he immediately looked over and asked uncertainly, "Are you the owner of the 'Introduction' tavern?"
The woman walked out of the dim alley and stood under the light. She saw Su He's face clearly and her expression seemed to have suddenly realized something: "It's you. Come back with me first."
Su He followed the woman back to the tavern in confusion. The light was too dim just now and he couldn't see the woman's face clearly. Now that he saw it clearly, he had a vague feeling of déjà vu.
I feel like I've seen them somewhere before, especially these eyes, they look so familiar.
I just want... to be like Sheng Jinyu when he's not so cold, when there's a smile in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes are as beautiful as hers.
"Why are you staring at me? Do you think I look like an old friend of yours?" The woman gathered her hair and tied it neatly into a high ponytail.
Such words sounded like a worn-out pick-up line. Su He pursed his lips and shook his head.
Cui Huan saw the newcomer and came out from the kitchen to greet her. He smiled when he saw the woman and said, "Boss! Why are you back early? Uncle Qiu called yesterday looking for you, but I told him you weren't home."
"Don't eat the boxed lunch, come on, I'll take you to cook a special meal."
The woman turned around gracefully. Cui Huan shouted excitedly, turned around and waved to Su He, then followed her out lazily with his arms folded.
Su He followed him out of the house in a daze. They ordered a table of dishes at a small Cantonese restaurant. Su He was absent-minded throughout the meal, and kept wanting to say something but stopping himself. The woman probably noticed this and said calmly, "My last name is Yang, you can call me whatever you want."
"Ms. Yang, when can I go back?" Su He put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at her seriously.
"Your life is very valuable right now, little boy." The woman glanced at him with her phoenix eyes and said calmly, "Just stay here and enjoy your life. I didn't save you just to sell your parts, but I do have a plan. I know what you're worried about."
The woman paused, drank the beer in her glass, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you hide for too long. When... the time comes, I will give you freedom."
Su He nodded silently. Although he was not a scheming person, he could still judge people. The people here really had no ill will towards him. He just didn't know whether they were friends or enemies with Sheng Jin, and whether he could trust them.
After spending another night in the backyard of the tavern, Su He got up early the next day and saw financial news being broadcast on the screen in the front hall. The death of the head of the Sheng family caused an uproar, and the funeral was grand. The group also started a major reshuffle, causing turmoil in the Guangzhou financial circle.
He stared at the screen, his movements slowed down, and he gradually stood still.
In the picture, a group of people in suits and ties stood at the harbor with solemn expressions. There was a drizzle in the sky. A black umbrella was held above Sheng Jinyu's head, but it could not block the rain at all.
The damp rain made his hair curl in front of his forehead. He was dressed in plain black, with a white mourning badge on his chest, and a solemn and murderous aura surrounded him.
The camera paused for three seconds and then flashed away.
Su He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He felt a little tormented. It seemed that he really couldn't let go of Sheng Jinyu.
Su He turned around and went back to the backyard, but heard a conversation between a man and a woman in the corridor. He leaned over and took a look.
I had never seen this man before. He was tall, his profile looked a little old, and he had a horizontal scar. He looked cold and fierce.
But when he slightly turned his body, he revealed the other half of his incomplete face. The skin on most of his face seemed to have melted, obviously burned.
"They are father and son after all. He may not be willing to turn against his father. If he does nothing, Sheng Group will be safely handed over to him in a few decades. Why should he make such a fuss?" Boss Yang said with his hands in his windbreaker pocket.
"You underestimated him. Before, the young master was still immature and might not be Sheng Zonglan's opponent, but he has been very decisive in his actions these past two days. If you don't push him, you never know what kind of miracles he can accomplish."
"What do you mean by pushing?"
After the man finished speaking with great confidence, Boss Yang looked at him hesitantly, and the man began to explain to her.
"People are invincible only when they have no worries. If they have worries, they will have weaknesses, but they will also have the courage to risk everything." When he said this, the man looked at Boss Yang with some tenderness in his eyes.
"He has more capital than I did back then. There's nothing he can't do... The person I put here is his courage."
"Give him a little more time and he'll do it."
