Chapter 668: Committed Suicide
"I think you have ulterior motives." Su Man exposed him.
Xiao Beisheng nodded generously: "I don't deny it."
After that, he explained:
"But don't worry, I'm not a beast yet. If you're in a bad mood, I won't touch you."
Su Man glanced at him resentfully, but instead of chasing him out, she moved closer to the bed, making room for him.
In fact, Xiao Beisheng was right, she really couldn't sleep.
Especially when you are alone in a space and quiet down, it seems that many sounds are intertwined in your ears.
If Xiao Beisheng were here, she would feel better.
Xiao Beisheng walked to the bed, sat down with his legs crossed, took off his shoes and lay down beside her.
"The design of this bedroom isn't very good either. Luckily I'm here. If a bad guy had come from next door, they could have easily climbed into the mistress's bedroom. It would have been too dangerous. When I renovate Doudou's nursery, I'll also modify the terrace of your bedroom."
Su Man: “…”
Still planning to take over her house.
She reasonably suspected that Xiao Beisheng was holding a grudge, as this house was chosen and purchased by Qiao Shiyan.
Xiao Beisheng kept chattering, but his body was lying there properly.
Like he said, he had no intention of doing anything out of line.
Su Man turned sideways and faced him:
"What was the situation inside the villa when you entered it today?"
Xiao Beisheng also turned his head to look at her, a small shadow falling under his three-dimensional brow bone: "There is something I want to tell you, you may not believe it, but Boss Su is not going to help Bai Lan, but to stop Bai Lan."
"If I were him, I would stop him too," said Suman.
"Half true." Xiao Beisheng said, "I thought about whether to tell you, but you will know it sooner or later. Letting you know now will give you some time to digest it."
Su Man sat up immediately: "What's the matter?"
"I knew there must be some details I missed. It's not that simple."
She immediately became agitated and panicked.
Xiao Beisheng immediately sat up and comforted her: "Don't panic, things haven't gotten that scary yet."
"Boss Su runs several major gambling dens in Haicheng. Have you ever wondered who the boss behind Boss Su is?"
"I've guessed, but I have no clue."
"It's Zhou Linxian."
Su Man's eyes widened. "How is this possible? Are you saying that he has been working for Zhou Linxian all this time?"
"Objectively speaking, yes."
"So... is he also involved in all the bad things Zhou Linxian has done over the years?" Su Man grabbed a handful of hair, devastated. "Oh my God..."
She could barely accept the adoptive father she had just recognized, even though he was the boss of a gambling gang.
But now she was told that this blood relative whom she had finally recognized was actually in the same camp with the treacherous and evil villain, and had been helping Zhou Linxian manage such a huge field of interests.
"Relax, it's hard to make a judgment on this matter before the results of Song Yi's interrogation come out. The specific details are still unknown." Xiao Beisheng comforted her: "After interacting with him for some time, I don't think he would do anything unforgivable. Maybe, like the others, he was deceived by Zhou Linxian and led astray, and then became his pawn."
"If he was an accomplice, would he die?"
"Won't."
"You don't have to lie to me just to comfort me. I can bear it. If he is really an unforgivable criminal, I can also kill my own relatives for the sake of justice."
Su Man said this, but tears welled up in her eyes.
Xiao Beisheng sighed softly and pulled her into his arms, "Blame me, I shouldn't have told you this."
Su Man leaned in his arms blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
It was not until the sky turned pale that Su Man could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was not a restful one.
She had several lucid dreams, and finally, some unknown noise woke Su Man up from her dream.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself and Xiao Beisheng sleeping in each other's arms.
He held her in the same position as last night, one arm resting under her neck and the other hand gently patting her back.
He had clearly fallen asleep, but the gentle patting motion had not stopped.
In order to let her sleep peacefully, he actually...kept this action all night.
On the other side of the bed, the phone buzzed again.
It was probably this vibrating sound that woke her up just now.
The next moment, Xiao Beisheng was also woken up.
He glanced at Su Man, reached out for his phone and answered it, "What's going on?"
The voice on the other end, coming from the external receiver, was chilling: "Yu Qionghua committed suicide. She was found too late and could not be saved."
The sleepiness of the two disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Beisheng asked calmly, "How's the record-keeping going? Have you got the evidence?"
"She explained everything she could. She also provided concrete evidence of Zhou Linxian's crimes. We sent someone to get the evidence overnight, and we'll be able to file charges soon."
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Su Man was terrified.
"how so?"
After asking, Yu Qionghua's condition yesterday flashed before her eyes.
At that time, Su Man felt that Yu Qionghua's mental state was a little strange.
But she didn't have time to investigate further.
Moreover, in such an "iron prison", Su Man also felt that Yu Qionghua would be well taken care of and nothing would happen to her.
In one night, a living person was gone.
"Did I deliberately force her to say those words last night, causing her to have thoughts of suicide?"
"Don't think like that. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself when something goes wrong. She and Zhou Linxian had an ill-fated relationship, and Zhou Linxian was the culprit."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at the time and said, "I only slept for four hours. Do you want to take a nap a little longer?"
Su Man shook her head.
"I couldn't sleep. I had a lot of dreams last night."
Xiao Beisheng rubbed the top of her head and said, "You don't seem to want to get up anymore. Lie down for a while. Ye Ling should have prepared breakfast. I'll go get it."
Suman nodded.
Xiao Beisheng accompanied Su Man for breakfast. During the whole process, he was constantly on the phone, dealing with the matters of Bai Lan and Su Changhai. Although Xiao Tian was in charge of Dingsheng, Xiao Beisheng was still needed to make the major decisions. He was busy with one thing and another, and the meal was discontinuous.
Su Man finished the last bite of rice, put down her chopsticks, and looked at him worriedly.
Xiao Beisheng hung up the phone. Seeing her like this, he smiled instead: "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, I've been busier than this before. I can handle this little bit of pressure."
He quickly cleaned the bowl and wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue.
"I have to run around in person these few days. After all, I studied law, and it's time to use my first skill to take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
He was still in the mood to joke.
Suman said, "I'll go too."
Before Xiao Beisheng could refuse, Ye Ling came over with Doudou in her arms.
As soon as Doudou entered the house, he turned into a clingy baby, babbling and asking Suman to hold him.
Su Man was a little surprised. Usually, when Ye Ling saw Su Man sleeping late, she would considerately take Doudou away the next day and not bring Doudou to disturb her sleep.
Xiao Beisheng and Ye Ling exchanged glances. He said to Su Man, who was coaxing Doudou, "Don't come with me. Doudou needs you. Just stay home and spend time with the child. You can't help much, and I have to devote my energy to taking care of you."
Ye Ling chimed in, "Yes, usually Madam Bai and Boss Su take turns with the child. Now that everyone is away all of a sudden, the child is easily anxious and has been crying non-stop this morning."
