Chapter 236, A Gift for Him
Her arm was grazed by a bullet, and the blood that seeped out stained her clothes red. Jiang Ran was completely unaware of it. She grabbed the chair and slammed it twice. After making sure that Huo Xuan was not a threat, she put the chair down.
She shook her uninjured hand and stretched it. "Oh, I haven't moved for a long time. My movements have become slow."
This is the truth.
With the sensitivity she gained from daily training at Xiling Base, she would never have been injured by Huo Xuan's gun just now.
She didn't put down her hand and was held by someone. Tu Su said in a very tense voice: "The wound on your hand! Let's go to the hospital and I will bandage it for you."
After saying that, he pulled her away.
Jiang Ran hurriedly called out to him, "Mr. Tu Su, what should we do with this man?"
"Someone will come up to deal with it, don't worry about him." Tu Su glanced at Huo Xuan with disgust, who was unknown whether he was dead or alive, and looked away, "Take care of your injuries first."
"But..." From the noise, I heard someone climbing onto your balcony again.
Before she could say anything, the door of the room was opened again and a group of psychics rushed in.
"Mr. Tu Su! Are you okay?"
The man who was rushing in the front saw the two people arguing in the living room, and his hoarse voice suddenly softened.
The group looked at each other in confusion.
Why is Mr. Tu Su with a girl? Is he not allowing them to go upstairs because he wants to hide his mistress in his golden house?
This girl... wow, she's so beautiful. No wonder she can handle a cold-hearted man like Mr. Tu Su.
Wait, these two people were talking about love, what was that gunshot just now?
"You're here just in time." Not knowing what those psychics with different expressions were thinking, Tu Su signaled with his eyes, "Take that guy to Huo Sichan and say it's a gift from Miss Jiang."
That guy? Which guy?
The psychics realized it later and noticed that there was someone lying behind the sofa, breathing out more than breathing in.
"This is... Huo Xuan?"
"It's really Huo Xuan. Why is Huo Xuan here? The captain and the others are still searching for him under martial law throughout the city."
"This guy is really after Mr. Tu Su. Never mind. Just arrest him and send him to the compound first."
“…”
Amidst the quarrel, Tu Su directly pulled Jiang Ran downstairs.
The apartment was not far from the hospital. The man walked very quickly and in a hurry, not even caring about his clothes being wet by the mud and rain.
…
"Is Huo Xuan dead?"
I was originally planning to drag the man away, but when I moved a little, I found that he had several cuts on his body.
Shoulders, arms, waist... the wounds were long and thin, with unknown depths, causing them to not dare to move him casually to avoid tearing the wounds.
"What weapon caused this wound? Can anyone tell?"
While waiting for the doctor, the psychics were bored and began to study the wounds on the injured.
"I don't know. It looks like a very thin blade."
"What kind of blade can cut so deep? If it's too thin, there won't be a stronghold."
"If I didn't know it was impossible, I would have thought it was cut from a kite string."
"Kite string?"
"Yes. I remember before the disaster, a friend and I were driving to go fishing. On the road, we encountered an untied kite string, which directly cut through the rearview mirror of the car. Fortunately, we were not driving fast at the time."
"Oh, I've heard this kind of news before."
"But that's not right. If we use a string, how much strength would it take? Look at the two people here just now—Mr. Tu Su and that lady. Who of them looks like a master of such strength?"
"That's not necessarily true—Huo Shuai thinks so highly of Mr. Tu Su, maybe he's a very talented person who's not yet revealed."
“…”
While the group was joking around, the doctor came with a stretcher and they moved Huo Xuan onto it.
Several people were arranged to accompany the doctor to the hospital, and two others were sent to the Huo family compound to inform Huo Lingyin that Huo Xuan had been arrested.
…
Tu Su was very professional in treating the wound. Although he didn't use any anesthesia, she didn't feel any particular pain when he sutured the wound.
"Sorry, bear with me, the hospital is temporarily full."
Comforting the little girl in a gentle voice, he sutured the wound skillfully.
"The wound is very deep. It will heal faster after being stitched."
"I know." Jiang Ran looked around the office. "Is this your office? Aren't you from the research institute? Do you have an office in the hospital too?"
"Before the disaster, I was a doctor." Tu Su said vaguely about his own affairs, "If the institute is not busy, I will occasionally come here to help."
This was their second meeting, but they seemed like friends who had known each other for a long time. They chatted casually and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"I heard from Huo Sichan that you knew my father?"
She came to climb onto his balcony tonight, and he had already guessed that she had learned some news about his past.
Tu Su did not deny: "I know him."
“You are my father’s assistant, why haven’t I seen you before?”
"Have you seen me?" The young man swallowed the words that were on his lips.
Looking into the girl's black pupils, his eyes darkened and he said in a hoarse voice: "I... am just an insignificant assistant. It's normal that you haven't seen me."
Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Really?" She obviously didn't believe him.
"The wound has been treated." Before she could ask more, Tu Su packed up his supplies and turned around. "Professor Si must be looking for you everywhere. You should go back early."
"Huh?" Jiang Ran was confused. "I haven't asked anything yet, sir..." She climbed the wall, got injured, and went back without asking anything. Fortunately.
Tu Su was helpless and sighed: "What do you want to ask?"
He was much more patient with her than with others.
Fearing that he might change his mind, Jiang Ran immediately asked, "When my father died, everyone told me it was an accident. But later I found something that disproved that theory. Sir, you were my father's assistant. What was the truth of the matter? Can you tell me?"
Tu Su didn't look back, with his back to her: "I don't know - I had left the laboratory before Professor Jiang's accident."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Ran asked again, "Does the gentleman also know Si Nian? She..."
Tu Su suddenly turned around, his eyes cold, and asked word by word: "She came to see you?" Listening carefully, one could hear the gnashing hatred in his eyes.
It was just a polite question, but she didn't expect him to react like this. Jiang Ran shook her head: "No, it's just that when I was a child, my father gave my mother a box of information and asked her to take it to find someone named Si Nian."
"Is your mother gone?"
"My mother... passed away." Jiang Ran said, "Not long after my father's accident, she committed suicide for love."
"Impossible!" Tu Su blurted out, "She..." How could she commit suicide for love? She had promised Professor Jiang that she would use her life to protect what he had once defended.
Facing the pair of eyes that were extremely similar to Shen Muxin's, Tu Su swallowed the rest of his words.
The man took a deep breath and spoke again, his voice returning to the coldness he had when they first met: "It's already late today. Go back and rest. If you have any questions, we can talk tomorrow."
He had stayed in the Huo family compound for too long, so long that he had lost touch with the outside world - he needed to sort things out, remember the past clearly, and then tell her about it.
The love, hatred and vengeance of the previous generation, what is Jiang Ran's identity? The answer will be revealed in the next issue~
