Chapter 170 Embrace
The incident happened suddenly, so Zhou Cheng packed up and rushed to the airport. After booking the next available flight, he contacted the hospital and explained that his family member was seriously ill and hospitalized, and he needed to return to visit them. The hospital didn't make it difficult for him and approved his leave.
After more than 10 hours of flight, Zhou Cheng returned to Mincheng exhausted.
Li Yu said it very directly on the phone. Su Chonglin was seriously injured and is no longer in danger of death, but it is hard to say whether there will be any complications in the future.
Zhou Cheng didn't dare to tell Su Qingyan all this. He only reported the good news and said that there was no danger to his life at the moment.
It was past 4 a.m. when he returned to Mincheng. Because it was too late, Zhou Cheng didn't think about contacting Su Qingyan right away, so he returned to Jinghu alone.
But Su Qingyan was not at Jinghu.
He went to the garage to get his car again. After getting in, he slid his finger across his phone's address book a few times, but ultimately did not click on the name of his assistant or friend.
Zhou Cheng started the car and drove towards the residence near Su Qingyan and his parents.
The sun rises very early in the summer. When Zhou Cheng arrived at the villa area, the Su family's housekeeper had already started pruning trees and cleaning the yard. Seeing Zhou Cheng's sudden visit, the housekeeper immediately came to greet him.
"Is Xiao Su here?" Zhou Cheng asked.
"Yes, the young master slept late last night and hasn't gotten up yet." The housekeeper brought Zhou Cheng into the house.
Zhou Cheng was relieved to see that the housekeeper was still in the mood to prune the branches and leaves. It seemed that Su Chonglin's incident did not have as much impact on the family as he had expected.
Li Yu once reminded him on the phone not to get too involved in the Su family's affairs. The vortex was too big and it would not be easy to get out of it unscathed.
Zhou Cheng walked lightly into Su Qingyan's bedroom and saw him sleeping soundly on his side, his whole body curled up, his shoulder blades more prominent than before.
Because of working day and night and lack of sleep these days, Su Qingyan has lost a lot of weight.
Zhou Cheng went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and went back to the bed. Even so, Su Qingyan did not wake up.
Zhou Cheng lay down on the bed and hugged him from behind with heartache.
"Hmm?" Su Qingyan was very sensitive to physical contact and turned his head to look back in confusion.
"Go back to sleep." Zhou Cheng patted him gently to comfort him.
"Zhou Cheng? Why are you back?" Su Qingyan instantly lost all sleepiness and turned over and sat up.
Zhou Cheng looked at the dark circles under his eyes, then pulled him down and held him in his arms again.
"Go to sleep first, and talk later."
But how could Su Qingyan continue to fall asleep so easily? He held Zhou Cheng's face with some grievance and kissed the blue stubble on his chin.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
"I told you that you won't let me come back." Zhou Cheng hugged Su Qingyan tightly, trying to rub him into his body.
"Zhou Cheng, don't get involved in this matter and don't contact the hospital." Su Qingyan knew very well that the incident his father was involved in was unusual, and he was afraid that Zhou Cheng would also be implicated.
"I know my limits, you don't have to worry about me."
Su Qingyan broke free from his arms again and sat on the bed with a serious expression.
"I don't know what my father did at Xinghai, but now it's not just Xinghai, the whole of Mincheng is in uproar. My former partners are avoiding me as much as possible. No one wants to have anything to do with this incident. Zhou Cheng, you are different from me. If I lose money in business, I can make it back, but you can't make any mistakes in your work."
Zhou Cheng had been reminded by Li Yu before. He knew that the Su family was in big trouble now, but he couldn't just sit back and watch. He acted upright and was not afraid of being investigated.
"What did the lawyer say?"
"All industries in Yingjiang have been suspended. Mincheng hasn't been affected yet, but the investigation team has begun to move into various companies to check the accounts. My father must have planned this long ago; he's already separated Yingjiang and Mincheng."
Su Qingyan paused, and finally said the words that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days and made him breathless.
"Zhou Cheng, should I trust my dad?"
Is he the kind of person who would do anything for money and power?
"Now is not the time to dwell on these things. There's no need to dwell too much on things that haven't happened."
Although Zhou Cheng said this, he knew in his heart that Su Chonglin had been cooperating with the Jiang family recently, and he had also experienced the Jiang family's methods. Su Qingyan was really not worrying about nothing.
Su Qingyan wanted to say something more, but Zhou Cheng ordered him to go to bed immediately. In fact, he was already exhausted to the limit, so he obediently fell asleep in Zhou Cheng's arms.
When he woke up again, it was almost noon. He lay in bed for a while, even suspecting that he had just had an extravagant dream.
Su Qingyan turned over and lay on the other side of the bed. He vaguely smelled the scent of Zhou Cheng, then he jumped out of bed, secretly cursing himself for becoming stupid in the past few days, and ran downstairs naked.
Sure enough, Zhou Cheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Zhou Cheng!" Su Qingyan jumped directly down from the stairs which were three or four steps above the ground.
"Be careful!" Zhou Cheng quickly got up to pick him up.
"I thought I was dreaming." Su Qingyan threw herself into his arms, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on her face.
Besides Zhou Cheng, there was also Lu Ze in the living room. He saw that Su Qingyan was finally no longer that gloomy and lifeless look, and sighed that Zhou Cheng was really his panacea.
"You can go to the hospital to see your father in the afternoon."
Su Qingyan heard Zhou Cheng's steady voice coming from above his head, and immediately stood up and looked up at him.
"Really? How did you do that?"
His voice was trembling and hoarse.
"Old Lu relented this morning and said he would let you two meet." Lu Ze also came over.
"What happened to my dad?" Su Qingyan only then saw Lu Ze.
"Old Lu won't tell me, so go ask him yourself this afternoon."
Su Qingyan didn't want to delay for a moment and urged them to leave immediately, and once again set off for the hospital he had been visiting repeatedly in the past few days.
The hospital was still heavily guarded. Zhou Cheng and Lu Ze were left on the first floor. After a strict body search, Su Qingyan was taken into the elevator by two policemen.
The elevator was rising very quickly, but Su Qingyan felt as if time was stretched out, and he kept silently repeating various questions that he wanted Su Chonglin to answer.
After the ward door was pushed open, Su Qingyan was dumbfounded.
There were many instruments that occasionally sounded alarms next to the bed. The head of the bed was slightly raised. Su Chonglin was connected to various passages on his body. He looked at Su Qingyan with a pale face.
"Dad...what's wrong with you..." Su Qingyan put all the questions behind her and walked quickly to his side with a confused heart.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
The last time Su Chonglin saw him with this expression was a long time ago when Su Qingyan was in elementary school. His grandmother died of a serious illness, and he was overwhelmed with emotions for a while.
"Has the lawyer come?" Su Qingyan quickly adjusted his mood, and the fragile expression only flashed by for a moment.
