"Xingzhou, what happened to your wound?"
Li Chenglin looked over as well, and his anger immediately subsided by half.
"Xingzhou, your wound has reopened. Go get it bandaged again quickly."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ronghua immediately tensed up.
"Does it hurt? Xingzhou, how could you be so foolish? You actually hurt yourself like this for a woman!"
Fu Xingzhou was extremely troubled, as he couldn't reason with his mother at all.
"Mom, come with me to get my wound re-bandaged."
"Okay, let's go."
Shen Ronghua finally left in a hurry with Fu Xingzhou, and Li Chenglin also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still holding back his anger.
He gritted his teeth, glanced into the ward, and saw that his sister had already sat up, her face looking rather pale.
Li Chenglin sighed. It seemed his sister had heard everything.
The soundproofing here is poor, and Shen Ronghua was speaking so loudly that it was hard for anyone not to hear him.
Li Chenglin composed himself and then pushed open the door and went inside.
"They're gone?"
Li Susu's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
Li Chenglin responded and sat down beside him.
"Su Su, don't take it to heart. Getting better is the most important thing."
Li Susu forced a smile, but couldn't manage a genuine one.
“I didn’t mind. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard something like that.”
“Su Su…”
Li Chenglin felt a pang of heartache; while he was away, his sister had suffered so much injustice.
"Susu, between you and Xingzhou..."
Li Susu forced a smile, her emotions having returned to calm.
"Big brother, don't worry. I have nothing to do with Fu Xingzhou. Just like you said, I don't care about getting married, let alone marrying into the Fu family."
"I will never tolerate such humiliation again."
Seeing his sister like this, Li Chenglin became even more worried.
His guess was right; Fu Xingzhou and his younger sister had clearly developed feelings for each other.
However, it seems that getting past Fu's parents will be very difficult.
"Susu, it's good that you can understand this. Since you haven't reached that point yet, cutting things off quickly might be a good idea."
Li Chenglin had originally wanted to bring the two together, but Shen Ronghua's outburst today made him immediately abandon that idea.
Li Susu has already had one failed marriage; she can't have another one.
Life is too short to enjoy it while we can.
"Brother, how's the investigation into the underground casino going?"
Li Susu didn't want to talk about these things anymore and changed the subject.
When they got down to business, Li Chenglin recounted in detail all the information his younger brother had found out.
"This Master Liu has some influence; he's a well-known local bully. It will take some time and effort."
Li Susu pondered for a moment, her thoughts falling on the girls who had been sold.
"Brother, most of the girls in underground casinos are either sold or kidnapped."
"Starting from here should make it easier."
Li Chenglin nodded. "Okay, then I'll send someone to investigate this matter. Perhaps some families of missing girls will file reports."
“Besides being kidnapped, they were probably also sold into the prison by their parents or other relatives.”
"These women should be able to find a way to cooperate. When I was tied up before, I met a woman named Beibei. She was a nice person."
"Beibei".
Li Chenglin silently noted down the name and told Li Susu to rest well, leaving these matters to them.
