Chapter 13 Old Master Su
Su Ada?
It was him!
My impression of Su Ada is that he was a burly man who was about 1.8 meters tall.
He had a muscular physique and a slicked-back hairstyle.
He always had a short beard on his face.
A single glance from his sharp, dangerous eyes, like those of an eagle, sends chills down one's spine.
He must have suffered so much to become so emaciated and on the verge of death.
Su Meng carefully took his pulse again, and seeing that his condition had improved, she flashed out of the space.
In her memory, Su Ada and her father Su Mianzhi were inseparable.
Why did he fall into the hands of the second branch of the Su family alone, while his father was nowhere to be seen?
What exactly is his relationship with his second wife and Zhong Cuilin?
With many questions in mind, Su Meng cautiously followed in the direction her second grandfather had gone.
Second Grandfather Su Mengjin was born with a beautiful face and was a charming and frivolous young man.
Spoiled by his mother, he became a notorious playboy in Shanghai, nicknamed "Prince Su".
When he was young, Prince Su had a wide range of interests, including gambling, drugs, and prostitution.
There were even rumors that he had made deals with the Japanese for business purposes, which led to his being kicked out of the house by the furious Su family patriarch, his father.
Once fallen from grace, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Those who had followed him left one after another, and some were even betrayed.
He was once hunted down by his enemies, like a stray dog, repeatedly teetering between life and death.
Later, the Su family intervened, and he was able to live a peaceful life.
Unexpectedly, he imprisoned Su Ada and even hired thugs.
How did he manage to do it when he was so poor and destitute?
Su Meng was completely baffled.
The book only briefly mentions the Su family and there is no such person as the "Heir of the Su Family".
However, when Zhong Wanrou received honors and praise, she would secretly feel proud of how wise it was to monopolize the Su family's wealth.
He also mocked Su Meng for being of lowly birth and unworthy of such blessings.
But her biggest regret was not finding the hidden treasure of the Su family, and she would occasionally drag out the Su family ancestors to give them a good scolding.
Thinking of this, Su Meng scoffed softly.
If she weren't in such a hurry to get to Guangzhou, she would have liked to stay and see how disheveled Zhong Wanrou looked after being sent to the countryside.
How desperate must she be, a person with no money, no power, and no one to help her buy daily necessities?
Su Meng smiled, but when she saw the four men in black holding guns and standing guard at the exit, her heart tightened, and she slipped into the space.
Clearly, she had no chance of winning against four heavily armed men in black.
The only skill she can currently rely on is the medical knowledge passed down from her grandfather, who was known as a renowned physician.
Thinking of the old man who had been in hiding for more than ten years, Su Meng felt saddened.
He also always kept in mind the advice not to easily reveal his medical skills to others.
Even in university, they avoided their favorite field of medicine and chose mechanical engineering and drafting instead.
Lost in thought, she gathered the necessary medicinal herbs by the mountainside and skillfully prepared them into a sleeping potion.
We're going to launch a surprise attack; let's go out first and see what happens.
As expected, the four men in black collapsed after taking the medicine.
Su Meng managed to exit the tunnel smoothly, picked up four guns at random, and then sneaked towards the main courtyard.
This should be the second wife's courtyard.
Smoke curled from the kitchen, and the aroma of food filled the air.
Su Meng swallowed hard and followed the route she remembered toward the study.
Old Master Su leaned back in his armchair in the study, puffing on his cigarette.
The dark gray smoke slowly dissipated, obscuring his gaunt face, but it could not hide his sorrow.
"well!"
As he sighed, he also slipped Su Meng's sleeping pills into his mouth.
A few minutes later, when the old master Su opened his eyes again, he was met with the death stare of "Su Ada".
Suddenly, his pupils dilated, his cheeks twitched, his pipe fell from his hand with a "clatter," and his legs twitched, unable to stand up.
He collapsed.
"You...you..."
His withered lips opened and closed several times before he stammered out two words. After a gurgling sound came from his throat, his face turned red and his eyes bulged out.
He got phlegm stuck in his throat.
"Su Ada" admired his predicament for a while before kindly pricking his acupoint with a needle.
She didn't want to lose a tool without knowing any information.
"Young Master Su, how have you been?"
As expected of a seasoned veteran, the old master Su regained his composure in an instant.
“You are not Su Ada.”
Su Meng nonchalantly toyed with the silver needles, coldly saying, "Behave yourself! I can save you once, but I can also kill you anytime."
The old master Su clearly remembered her miraculous needle strike just now. His face stiffened, and he sighed softly, "You have to tell me who you are, right? Are you an enemy or a friend?"
"If you want to die, then you can talk more nonsense." Saying this, Su Meng brandished her silver needles. "What did you do to the family head?"
Upon hearing this, the old master Su's pupils contracted, and he shrank back into his chair. "I... I haven't seen him for more than ten years. You've asked the wrong person."
Su Meng: "Tch! You captured me just to harm the family head?"
Also, tell me your relationship with Zhong Cuilin in detail.
Seeing his eyes darting around, Su Meng impatiently stuck a needle into him.
Old Master Su cried out in pain.
Su Meng used her needle again, and the old master Su quieted down!
I was terrified!
He pointed in horror at the mouth that was opening and closing but not making a sound, sometimes nodding, sometimes clasping his hands together.
How ridiculous!
Su Meng played with the silver needles as if they were a small pistol, sometimes aiming them at his brow, sometimes at his eyes, and sometimes seemingly casually gliding them across his throat.
He was so frightened that his expression changed drastically, and he lost control of his bladder.
Su Meng took a meter back in disgust. "If you don't behave, you'll be going to see the King of Hell."
Old Master Su was in tears, nodding frantically, not even afraid of breaking his neck.
“I said we received a message from Zhong Cuilin saying that A-Da had returned alone.”
Therefore, we seized him by surprise, intending to uncover the whereabouts of the wealth left by our ancestors, and also to find out the whereabouts of Su Mianzhi.”
"And what else? Was Su Mianzhi's disappearance caused by you or Zhong Cuilin?"
"It's Zhong Cuilin and Shen Wuyang, that adulterous couple."
They killed the matriarch of the Su family and attempted to drown the newborn baby, but Su Mianzhi witnessed it. Therefore, Su Mianzhi must have been harmed by them.
I swear, everything I've said is true.
When I heard him say that, it actually matched what I read in the book.
But how could Zhong Cuilin, a nanny, have such audacity to kill her employers?
Does she have someone backing her up?
That's what she thought, and that's what she asked.
The old master Su's eyes darted around, and he stammered without uttering a single word.
"Speak quickly!" Su Meng once again brandished her silver needles.
"She was the spy I sent into the old house, and also my..."
Su Meng's heart skipped a beat, and an incredulous thought popped into her head, "Your lover?"
He stared at Su Meng in astonishment, then looked away with a dark glint in his eyes. "No, she is my first wife."
Having said all that, he stopped trying to hide it.
It turns out that he was murdered when he was young, and hid in the countryside, where he secretly married Zhong Cuilin without telling anyone.
His injuries healed by the time their first son was born.
The young master of the Su family, always a playboy, returned to his own life after a few sweet words, forgetting about his mother and son in the countryside.
Zhong Cuilin took her child and traveled thousands of miles to find her husband, walking all the way to Shanghai.
But just as she found the dissolute old master Su, she was targeted by his enemies.
