Su Li wiped her sweat; "I need to confirm one thing. I don't believe Hua Nian is down there, so I need to be sure."
"Ah Li, don't be like this. Although I know you don't want to admit it, when Gu Huanian fell here, there was almost no chance of survival. He was probably buried too deep, so the rescue team never found him."
Chen Shengnan knew that her words might upset Su Li, but seeing her like this made her feel really bad and heartbroken.
Some things we still have to face.
"Shengnan, I just wanted to confirm something. You don't need to worry about me."
She didn't want to deceive herself, nor did she want to be confused. She needed to be sure if Gu Huanian was still alive; she simply couldn't believe he was dead.
The only way now is to dig deep and check this place thoroughly.
Regardless of the circumstances, she needed to give herself an explanation.
After saying that, she continued shoveling soil.
Chu Yiyun stepped forward, pressed down on her spatula, and said, "Shengnan brought you food. Eat something first so you'll have the strength. I'll take over now."
After Su Li finished eating, Chen Shengnan and Chu Yiyun went back.
About half an hour later, Chen Shengnan, Chu Yiyun, Chen Shujing and Liu Wenqing arrived, and even Gou Sheng came with a cane.
Everyone held tools in their hands and silently began to follow Su Li.
Su Li didn't say anything, but felt a sour and swollen feeling in her heart.
The group dug for three whole days, but Su Li and her team found nothing, which relieved both her and Chen Shujing.
This suggests that Gu Huanian might actually be alive.
That day, Su Li hugged Chen Shujing and cried, "Auntie, he's still alive, he must still be alive, as long as he's alive, that's all that matters."
Chen Shujing's eyes were also full of tears. During this process, she was really afraid of digging up something.
She had been living in constant fear, but now she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yiyun and Chen Shengnan exchanged a glance and relaxed a little. They had witnessed Su Li's struggles, inner turmoil, and fear over the past few days.
This is the best possible outcome.
During the days that Su Li was sick and disappeared, Xiang Rong had taken away a lot of orders from her factory.
When Lu Yang learned that Su Li had returned, he rushed over to find her.
"Factory manager, some things have happened at the factory these past few days, and we need your advice."
Su Li gestured for him to continue.
"Although you caught two moles last time, Xiang Rong's side has been producing our factory's clothing designs before we have them, and he has stolen a lot of our customers."
"It was originally a small, prosperous factory, so it shouldn't have been able to take on so many orders. But I don't know where they set up a lot of small workshops. They couldn't finish all the orders in their own factory, so they assigned them all to the workshops, and they were going against us."
"They produced their clothes a few days earlier than us. By the time they finished making them, we were already a step behind."
He wouldn't believe it if you told him there wasn't a mole in the factory.
However, every time he went to investigate, everyone in the factory had an alibi.
In addition, Su Li has been missing for the past few days, and these matters are still unresolved, so they can only be delayed again and again.
The situation has escalated over time, and now, apart from the acquaintance the boss mentioned who is willing to buy their clothes, their factory only has two or three customers left in the entire city of Beijing.
If this continues and we don't get any orders, the workers will probably be out of work and the factory won't be able to pay wages.
After listening to Lu Yang's words, Su Li was wondering who else might be the mole when she heard Xiao Ying's voice in her mind.
"It's that person's vital point... *squeak squeak squeak*"
Although Xiao Ying kept chattering afterward, Su Li understood what she meant, based on her previous assumptions.
The person behind it all must be Su Jiaojiao now.
If she doesn't find a way to get rid of this person, she has a strong feeling that every step she takes in the future will become increasingly difficult.
"I understand what happened with Lu Yang. For now, focus on reassuring the employees; keep their salaries paid as usual. Don't rush into developing new products. I'll find the mole here first. Give me a few days; keep the factory stable."
Lu Yang knew of her abilities. He nodded and left.
Su Li stood up, filled a lunchbox with the chicken soup and other dishes she had made in the kitchen that day, and headed towards the hospital.
Gou Sheng's leg hadn't healed yet, and she hadn't prepared any spiritual spring water for him to drink. It wasn't that she couldn't bear to part with it, but rather that Tang Yue had died.
He needs to rest well. In this life, Su Li has truly thought that they will be together in the future.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yue still left in the end. She knew that Gou Sheng would probably never be able to get over this relationship.
When they arrived at the hospital, Gou Sheng saw her and had a faint smile on his face.
Su Li noticed that there was another person in the ward; it was Tang Xin.
She was wearing a gray wool coat and makeup today. She also had a bright red scarf around her neck, and her two braids hung down her shoulders. It was clear that she had dressed up carefully.
When she saw Su Li arrive, unlike her usual annoyed demeanor, she greeted her with a beaming smile, "Sister Su Li, you've come to see Gou Sheng!"
Now that Tang Yue is gone, to be honest, Su Li doesn't want to pay any attention to her at all.
What's more, her younger sister had only been gone for a few days, and she was already putting on makeup and wearing a bright red silk scarf, which made Su Li feel somewhat ironic.
Su Li took out the chicken soup and rice and placed them on the table next to Gou Sheng's bed; "Gou Sheng, eat first."
Gou Sheng nodded and was about to go get the food.
Tang Xin was one step ahead of him; "Gousheng, you're sick right now and it's inconvenient for you, let me help you."
"No need, it's my leg that's injured, not my hand. I can handle it."
Even though Gou Sheng had already said that, Tang Xin still grabbed the lunchbox first and eagerly opened it.
Gou Sheng frowned. "I'll do it myself."
Tang Xin, as if she couldn't understand human speech, laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll feed you."
As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it to her lips, and then handed it to Gou Sheng.
Gou Sheng turned his face away and reached out to take the lunchbox.
"I'll do it myself."
After Gou Sheng took the lunchbox, he started eating by himself, which left Tang Xin somewhat disappointed.
Su Li knew that although Gou Sheng appeared calm on the surface, he was still unable to accept Tang Yue's departure.
She said to Tang Xin, "Comrade Tang, could you please excuse me for a moment? I need to say a few words to Gousheng."
A hint of resentment flashed in Tang Xin's eyes; don't think she didn't notice it just now.
Su Li hadn't given her a second glance since she came in. What right did this wretched woman have to look down on her?
Tang Xin smiled at Gou Sheng and said, "Gou Sheng, I'll go out first. I'll come see you again later."
Gou Sheng nodded.
After Tang Xin left, Su Li looked around the room and, seeing that there was no one else there, said, "Gou Sheng, I know you must be feeling terrible right now, but I still have to remind you to be careful around Tang Xin."
