Chapter 74 The police suddenly called looking for Su Niannian
After hanging up the phone.
Li Xiumei's face aged ten years in an instant.
She looked at Su Guowei as if she had no backbone: "Xin Xin is about to have her kidney removed, so hurry up and think of a solution. Do you think sitting here like this will solve the problem?"
Su Guowei rubbed his face in frustration, hesitated for a moment, and then said...
"Xiumei, why don't we tell Niannian about that? That child is grateful, and she will definitely help us out because we've raised her for so many years."
“No way,” Li Xiumei refused outright.
Su Guowei frowned: "Do you have a better idea? Our store has been suspended from business, and it's hard to say whether it can reopen. If we go to borrow money from others now, who would be crazy enough to lend us money? Didn't Xin Xin say that the person she's keeping as a mistress to Niannian is a rich man? That million won't be a problem."
Li Xiumei glared at him and said, "I've raised her for so many years. How much money have I spent on her food and drink? How can I raise her for nothing? That ungrateful wretch can't just cut ties with me by giving me a sum of money. As long as I'm her mother, it's only natural for Su Niannian to support her family for the rest of her life."
"I'm telling you, you'd better keep this to yourself."
Su Guowei's voice rose involuntarily: "So you're not going to take care of Xin Xin?"
Isn't this woman the one who always dotes on Su Xin the most?
Why has it changed so drastically?
He only cares about money and doesn't even care about his daughter's life or death.
Li Xiumei tossed him her phone: "Go find out where your mother lives now."
Su Guowei hurriedly caught the phone, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"you mean?"
"We'll go to the old lady's place later and tell her that her second granddaughter has been kidnapped and she wants a million dollars in ransom. I don't believe the old lady won't take it. As long as her grandmother says so, that brat won't dare not pay."
------
The villa's backyard has a sunroom filled with colorful flowers. In the morning, the warm and pleasant sunlight shines on the petals, making it feel like stepping into a fairy tale world.
In the center of the greenhouse, there is a wooden table.
Tea sets and some materials for wood carving are displayed on it.
Su Niannian has been staying at home recently and has suddenly become fascinated with wood carving.
She was also a little confused, wondering how she had suddenly fallen in love with wood carving.
It was as if a memory etched into her bones was drawing her along.
However, she is a woman of action.
Once the idea was formed, action was taken immediately.
Gu Yuheng bought her the finest wood, and originally intended to hire a master woodcarver for Su Niannian.
However, Su Niannian felt it was too much of a fuss, and since she was just trying to pass the time and didn't want to pursue a professional path, she declined.
She basked in the sun, holding a piece of wood, and following the steps in the book, carved out the basic shape, one stroke at a time.
"Young Madam, you've been busy all day, take a break. I've made you some lychee and osmanthus milk, please try it and see if you like it." Aunt Chen walked in with a tray, smiling.
Ever since the young mistress became obsessed with wood carving, the young master has been calling her every morning as if he had a camera installed on her, asking if she had become obsessed with wood carving again.
Whenever they heard that the young mistress was busy, they would have Aunt Chen come over and find a reason to remind her to rest.
Su Niannian had no idea that she had been "set up".
I put down the piece of wood and stretched my stiff neck.
She then smiled and accepted the milk tea that Aunt Chen handed her.
"Aunt Chen, thank you."
She had just taken a sip through the straw when her phone on the table started buzzing.
She glanced to the side and saw an unfamiliar phone number.
Pick it up and press the connect button.
It was the voice of a strange man.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Su? This is the police station."
Su Niannian was stunned for a moment, and the image of Zhang Hongming, who had kidnapped her, being beaten to death flashed through her mind.
Could it be that their bodies were discovered, and as the last person to have contact with them, the police came to question me?
Her heart suddenly tightened.
She hesitated for a moment before asking, "I am... Is there something you need from me?"
The person on the other end immediately said, "Ms. Su, don't be nervous. We're calling you because your friend Shu Wei was in a car accident, but it's not serious. She just hit her head on the steering wheel and got a minor scrape. She doesn't want her parents to know, so we're notifying you."
Su Niannian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was now on edge again.
"Officer, where is Shu Wei now? I'm coming right away."
The police gave a location.
Su Niannian put down the phone.
Aunt Chen, who was standing to the side, also heard the gist of what had happened.
"Madam, I'll have the driver start the car. Miss Shu will be fine, so please don't worry."
Su Niannian nodded: "Aunt Chen, I'll go put on my coat first."
"good."
When Su Niannian arrived at the address given by the police, Shu Wei was sitting on the roadside, covering her forehead.
A century-old tree, with lush branches and leaves, stretches all the way to the middle of the road, its green shade shielding the scorching sun.
When Su Niannian saw that Shu Wei had at least chosen a good spot for her, she knew that Shu Wei's injuries were probably not serious.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Niannian, I'm sorry to have asked you to come pick me up." Shu Wei looked at her listlessly.
"Weiwei, what are you saying? Aren't good friends supposed to help each other? Haven't you helped me enough before?"
Su Niannian moved her hand away and carefully examined her wound. Although there was some bleeding, it was only a minor scratch on the surface.
But injuries like this can range from minor to serious.
It doesn't look serious from the outside.
Who knows if the brain tissue inside has been damaged?
So she quickly pulled Shuwei to the hospital for a checkup.
She asked the driver to choose the nearest hospital, and coincidentally, it turned out to be the hospital where Fu Chenting worked.
Even more coincidentally, Shu Wei suffered a traumatic brain injury and made an appointment with the neurosurgery department.
When the two of them entered the consultation room.
Their eyes met unexpectedly at Fu Chenting, who was sitting behind his desk in a white coat.
All three of them were taken aback.
Fu Chenting was the first to react, looking at Su Niannian and asking, "Sister-in-law, you're not feeling well, why didn't Yuheng come with you?"
They hired such an unreliable person.
Su Niannian waved her hand: "Dr. Fu, it wasn't me, it was my friend who bumped her head. Please take a look at her quickly."
Shu Wei felt that she had a bad day. First, she bumped into someone's car, and now she had run into this menacing person.
I really need to go to the temple to pray three times later.
Su Niannian, unaware of what she was thinking, kindly pushed her to the table.
Fu Chenting and Shu Wei looked at each other for a while.
Fu Chenting took a pair of medical gloves out of the drawer and put them on.
He reached out and touched the wound on Shu Wei's forehead.
"The wound looks fine, but we don't know about the brain inside. Let's get a CT scan done first. Don't delay and make the already bad brain condition even worse."
Shu Wei watched him take off his gloves and immediately exploded.
"Are you plotting revenge?"
Fu Chenting glanced at her indifferently: "Congratulations, you guessed right. Who told you to say I'm not smart?"
Shu Wei felt a little guilty and remained silent.
Su Niannian stood aside, watching the drama unfold, feeling like she had missed something exciting.
It seems like these two don't get along.
