Seeing Su Chang'an's lowered head and silent expression, Su Yi's anger subsided by a third.
He sighed and lowered his voice, saying, "Think about who we are now! You need to know where Meifang is, and persuade her to go to the police station and confess."
"I beg for leniency from the organization and for a chance to reform myself!"
"And you, don't think too much about things in the army. Things will work themselves out. There's always a way. Even if you can't stay in the army, you can find a job anywhere and support yourself. Relax. The most important thing now is to find Meifang as soon as possible, so that she doesn't lose her mind and do something irreversible."
After Su Chang'an turned and left, Su Yi let out a long sigh, as if all his energy had been suddenly drained away. He slumped weakly onto the sofa.
They are all his children, and he loves them all equally. What is he supposed to do now?
He couldn't just watch Meifang die and Chang'an be destroyed.
But if he does... they'll hate him even more.
He had already wronged them a lot, and now he had to... This was really putting him in a difficult position...
Su Chang'an went to find Wang Jingtao as soon as he left home, as Meifang didn't have many places to hide.
As for the conflict between Wang Jingtao and Song Jingzhou, he knew a little about it. Meifang's clean and decisive action this time might not have been without Wang Jingtao's encouragement behind the scenes.
At this point, only the Wang family has the power to save Meifang's life. As for Su Yi... he hasn't given up any hope at all!
The Wang family.
Wang Jingtao hurried into the courtyard house, and as soon as he entered the archway, he met Wang Zhongren walking out with his hands behind his back.
Wang Jingtao's eyes darkened, and he bowed respectfully, "Grandpa."
Wang Zhongren hummed in agreement. "You've come back to see your grandfather?"
"Yes, my great-grandfather."
"Go inside, your grandfather is in the study."
Wang Jingtao looked up at Wang Zhongren's departing figure, his cheeks puffed out, and annoyance flashed in his eyes. He could roughly guess what Wang Zhongren had come to do.
Lieutenant Li saw Wang Jingtao walking towards him and took two steps forward to greet him, "Jingtao."
"Uncle Li."
"Go in, the commander is waiting for you inside."
After a moment of silence, Lieutenant Li reminded him again, "Be careful, he's still angry."
Wang Jingtao's heart sank. He smiled gratefully at Lieutenant Li, then took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
QQ QQ~
"Grandpa, it's me, Jingtao."
"Come in!"
Lieutenant Li was on tenterhooks, listening intently to what was happening inside.
A moment later, the sound of arguing came from inside, followed by a loud crash as a cup shattered.
Lieutenant Li frowned. The commander was so old, he couldn't take such anger. And Wang Zhongren was just like that, always bringing trouble to the commander.
He reached out to push the door open and try to persuade Wang Zhongli, but then withdrew his hand, remembering Wang Zhongli's temper, and could only anxiously pace around in place.
After a long while, it quieted down inside. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the wooden door creaked open.
With a gloomy face, Wang Jingtao could no longer maintain his usual polite demeanor in front of his elders. Without even glancing at Lieutenant Li, he strode quickly away.
"Jing, Jing...."
Lieutenant Li watched Wang Jingtao's retreating figure with a worried expression. Thinking of the argument in the room earlier, he swallowed his call and walked into the room. His duty was to take good care of his superior; it was best not to interfere in other matters.
Su Chang'an found Wang Jingtao two days later, but before he could speak, Wang Jingtao spoke first.
"Take Su Meifang away right away."
A look of understanding flashed in Su Chang'an's eyes. "She's really here with you?"
Wang Jingtao felt extremely annoyed thinking about the death order his grandfather had given him. He shouldn't have taken in Su Meifang in the first place. It's easy to invite a god in, but hard to send him away. Now that he had made his intentions clear, she still refused to leave and was clinging to him.
"Come with me," Wang Jingtao thought with a sigh of relief. Her own brother couldn't just abandon her, could he? Finally, she was going to get rid of this huge burden.
Su Chang'an could sense Wang Jingtao's cold attitude, and he felt uncomfortable as well.
He's Meifang's boyfriend, so what's the meaning of this? He seems afraid Meifang will get involved and wants to distance himself from her? With this kind of behavior, he's not even as good as Wang Youbo before.
Wang Jingtao led Su Chang'an to the slums of the North District, and soon stopped in a dirty and dilapidated alley.
Su Chang'an smelled the stench of the sewer in the air and couldn't help but touch his nose. Had Meifang been living in a place like this for the past few days?
After cautiously looking around, Wang Jingtao peeked under the door, pulled out a key, opened the door, and cautiously walked inside.
Su Chang'an followed closely behind Wang Jingtao.
Inside the house, Su Meifang, looking agitated, heard the noise outside and, like a frightened bird, quickly hid next to the large vat.
Seeing that it was a winter military boot stepping onto the threshold, Su Meifang rushed out.
"Brother Jingtao, waaaaah, you scared me to death."
"Please don't send me away, okay? Where am I supposed to go right now?"
An impatience flashed in Wang Jingtao's eyes, and he shoved Su Meifang aside. "Your brother is here."
“I’ve already explained everything to you yesterday. You should go with your brother now.”
Su Meifang looked up at what was behind Wang Jingtao, her eyes instantly turning red, "Brother."
"No, no, I won't go. Dad will definitely take me to the police station. I won't go."
"Brother Jingtao, I can only rely on you now, you must save me."
