After leaving the room, Yi Tianran pulled Zhuang Yizhan aside and asked worriedly, "How is she? Can my grandmother's condition be cured?"
"I couldn't make any guarantees until I saw the old lady, but I just checked her over. Although she was poisoned, it was fortunate that it was discovered in time and the toxins haven't yet affected her internal organs." Zhuang Yizhan said, giving her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, with me here, I'll definitely be able to cure her."
After hearing his words, Yi Tianran finally felt relieved.
Thankfully, it's not too late!
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that Fu Yunchen had found her and brought her back from abroad.
I'm also glad that he told his grandmother about her condition in time.
If she waits until she has investigated the situation thoroughly, it might be too late...
Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head, her gaze probing Zhuang Yizhan, "Why did you treat Fu Yunchen with such a confrontational attitude today?"
Zhuang Yizhan looked completely innocent: "What did I do?"
"Don't play dumb with me, your words to him are full of hostility, okay?" Yi Tianran crossed her arms and said with a playful expression, "Could it be that you're jealous? Wait! You don't have a crush on me, do you?"
"..." Zhuang Yizhan shuddered, goosebumps rising on his skin. He quickly rubbed his arms, disgusted, and said, "What disgusting things are you saying! I'm devoted to my goddess, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until death do us part! How could I possibly be interested in you... My feelings for him are just a battle of wits between smart people, you understand?"
As a capable man himself, Zhuang Yizhan had heard so much praise for Fu Yunchen that he couldn't help but feel a competitive spirit and wanted to prove himself superior.
This is called a man's competitive spirit.
Moreover, he is practically half of Yi Tianran's family, so it's only natural for him to be wary and scrutinizing of the man she chooses!
No matter what happens in the future, he will always stand by Yi Tianran's side, and this attitude will not change.
Yi Tianran summarized his mentality: "In short, he's just bored out of his mind and has to stir up trouble?"
Zhuang Yizhan: "..."
Unable to outwit this quick-witted woman, he simply changed the subject, "By the way, I brought you an important mission when I returned to China this time. Do you know Su Shengchen?"
"You mean Su Shengchen, the resource tycoon from the Su family in Kyoto, who controls nearly half of the country's steel and precious metal resources business? I heard he has assets of nearly 10 billion, connections all over the country, and is also a partner that the Yi family is trying hard to win over."
Yi Tianran was already familiar with this influential figure who was also connected to the Yi family.
"That's right, the person who commissioned this mission is Su Shengchen." Zhuang Yizhan's expression turned serious as he said this. "Su Shengchen has an only daughter, Su Mo, who attends a prestigious university in the capital. Ten days ago, she suddenly jumped off a building and suffered multiple fractures. Although she survived after emergency treatment, she is now in a vegetative state. Moreover, during the hospital examination, it was discovered that she is pregnant..."
Therefore, Su Shengchen spent a fortune to hire you, an internationally renowned detective, to investigate the truth for him. He wants to know who exactly harmed his daughter like this.
As he spoke, he took out several photos from his bag and handed them to Yi Tianran.
The photo shows a pretty girl with a serious expression.
She lowered her eyes and clutched the hem of her clothes when facing the camera, looking as if she lacked confidence.
Generally speaking, girls like this tend to be introverted.
The last picture shows her lying on a hospital bed, her entire body wrapped in bandages, looking lifeless.
Yi Tianran's eyes turned slightly cold. Leaning against the wall, she said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you've found out about Su Mo."
This is an unspoken understanding between them: before accepting a task, they must first find out the client's situation.
If the other person is a scumbag, she wouldn't have helped them in the first place.
"According to the investigation, Su Mo herself is weak-willed and taciturn. Although she has a remarkable father, she has never revealed her identity at school."
Because Su Shengchen lost his wife early in life and has been busy with his career for decades, he has neglected his daughter, only providing her with material things and not trying to understand her inner feelings.
Su Mo had been surrounded by nannies and maids since childhood, and had no close friends. Su Shengchen was furious when this happened. After all, she was his only daughter, and he worked hard, seemingly to create a better future for her...
After listening to Zhuang Yizhan's rambling speech, Yi Tianran had already made up her mind, "I'll take on this task."
"Are you sure?" Zhuang Yizhan turned to look at her. "This task is quite difficult! Even I've only found out a small part of it. If we don't get any results in the end, Su Shengchen might take his anger out on you..."
"Who are you underestimating?" Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow, her expression full of confidence. "There is no truth in this world that I cannot uncover! This level of difficulty is a piece of cake for me."
Even if it's just to prevent the Yi family from getting on the Su family's good side, she has to go all out.
Moreover, she had a premonition that this investigation might bring her unexpected results.
Zhuang Yizhan fawned over him, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! I shouldn't have doubted the abilities of the famous detective."
Yi Tianran smiled smugly: "You're smart to know what's good for you."
As the two were chatting and laughing, a clear, melodious voice suddenly rang out: "Have you finished talking?"
The sound had a slightly sour tone.
Yi Tianran turned around and saw Fu Yunchen leaning lazily against the door. "Grandma wants you to come in."
"When did you start calling me so affectionately?" Yi Tianran muttered to herself, then walked past him into Old Madam Yi's room.
Before she could even ask, the old lady preemptively asked, "Where's my hot tea?"
"..." Yi Tianran stepped forward, both amused and exasperated. "Grandma, isn't this just an excuse to get rid of me? Tell me the truth, what did you talk about with Fu Yunchen just now? You didn't reveal all my secrets to him, did you!"
“Am I the kind of person who would sell my granddaughter?” the old lady said righteously. “That’s a secret between us. Even if you’re jealous, I won’t tell you.”
Yi Tianran: "..." She was both amused and exasperated.
The old lady stared at her sharply for a while, then said casually, "Ranran, what do you think of Xiao Fu as my granddaughter's husband?"
"..." Yi Tianran almost choked. "Grandma, I've said I'm against marriage, why would I find a partner to tie myself down?"
"It's all your father's fault. He gave you a bad influence, which caused you to have such thoughts." The old lady sighed helplessly. "But I think Xiao Fu is different. His heart is truly sincere towards you."
