Chapter 141
“Because I’m not as selfish as some people.” Su Ziqing slammed her phone down.
The atmosphere was beyond stiff; it was... filled with tension.
Of course, the tension was emanating from Su Ziqing.
Su Ziqing almost lost her temper. How dare he try to exploit her like this?!
But she couldn't; now was not the time to turn against him.
She gulped down a glass of water, took a deep breath, and then looked at Su Tianhao seriously. "Chengjue and I are not what you think."
Su Tianhao was also quite angry at Su Ziqing's words. He knew she was a tough nut to crack, but he didn't expect her to be this tough!
He almost lost his temper just now. How dare a niece talk to him like that? Does she really think she's so great?
Does he even exist in her eyes anymore?
"Yes, yes, I just blurted it out without thinking." Su Tianhao went along with it.
There's no point in eating anymore after this meal. We almost lost our temper twice already, and if it happens a third time, I guess I'll really lose my temper.
Su Ziqing gave a stiff smile. "I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Su Tianhao nodded, "I'll have someone send it to you."
"No need, I have an appointment with a friend." Su Ziqing picked up her bag and left.
As Su Tianhao watched her leave, his face darkened. He nearly lost his temper twice, though he managed to smooth things over each time. But the feeling of a rope about to snap clearly told him that his relationship with Su Ziqing was unlikely to be harmonious.
We need to find a way to take full control of everything.
……………………
Su Ziqing left the hotel and didn't call a taxi; she just casually walked on the sidewalk.
The cool breeze gradually calmed her down.
She was really too impulsive just now. However, she has changed a lot in the past few months. If her grandfather were still alive, she would never have been able to back down like that. If she had just torn someone apart, she would have done so.
She faced the wind and gave a bitter smile.
She can still tolerate being bullied now, but when it comes to Gong Chengjue, she finds she simply can't stand it.
Where does Su Tianhao get the audacity to think that others should do things for him?
They don't even offer a perfunctory expression of concern; they're just trying to extract the last bit of value from others.
The phone suddenly rang...
It was an unfamiliar number.
Not many people know her phone number, and she doesn't contact anyone she's not closely related to.
She thought for a moment, then answered the phone, "Hello."
"Ms. Su, hello. I am a reporter from Xinhe Daily. I would like to interview you about the rumors that your Su family forced an employee to commit suicide."
Su Ziqing frowned. What?
"I'm sorry." Su Ziqing hung up the phone immediately.
However, the call from Xinhe Daily was like opening a box; it was followed by calls from Xinming, Fang Evening News, and various other media outlets, all calling Su Ziqing's mobile number.
This almost made Su Ziqing shut down her phone, but she eventually turned it to silent mode first.
Let's put aside the question of who leaked her phone number for now, but why are so many media outlets suddenly interviewing her about Secretary Fang's suicide?
Among them are also some self-media.
In other words, this matter... has blown up?
Su Ziqing stopped and checked the local websites and forums, discovering that the news of Secretary Fang's suicide had truly shocked the world.
She went online and checked Weibo again...
Her act of firing an employee today has been magnified to an extreme degree, and even misunderstood as her being in cahoots with Su Tianhao.
The headlines used by self-media outlets are even more suggestive, such as "Newly Emerging Powerful Woman with an Iron-Blooded Approach"...
And yet, they say they're all family, turning right and wrong upside down.
There's also a recently popular saying: "With money, you can do whatever you want?" Money really can!
Seeing these reports that could be written in hundreds or even thousands of words just by showing a picture, Su Ziqing was so angry that her heart ached.
……………………
Deep in the mountains and forests
The sky was pitch black, without a single ray of light, and the search could only be carried out by artificial lighting, with the roar of helicopters echoing in the distance...
As more and more of the deceased were identified, the chances of the plane surviving became increasingly slim.
At first, Gong Chengjue could sit and wait, but as time went by, he directly joined the search.
Despite Luo Jinhan's best efforts to dissuade him, she had no choice but to accompany him in the search.
The deep mountains get bitterly cold at night, and the clothes that Gong Chengjue and his companions wore were not very warm, causing them to sneeze repeatedly.
"Mr. Gong." As the flashlight beam grew weaker and weaker, and it was already past midnight, Luo Jinhan stopped Gong Chengjue, saying, "Our flashlight is about to run out of power."
Gong Chengjue ignored it, even though his hands were cut by thorns in the mountains and he felt no pain.
Seeing this, Luo Jinhan had no choice but to continue following.
This area is the site of the plane crash that occurred today, but although it's called an area, it's not small at all.
They've been searching non-stop for hours, from day to night...
I've been searching since last night until now, without a drop of water, let alone food.
Of course, the most arduous task was for the soldiers searching for corpses—no, survivors—who practically trampled the entire area flat.
As the search area shrinks, so does the search scope, creating a mix of hope and despair that brings both joy and fear...
The light in front of me flickered for a moment, then went out.
Gong Chengjue then stopped walking.
She turned her head to look at Luo Jinhan beside her.
Luo Jinchun looked at him and said, "The power is out, Mr. Gong. You've been searching for seven or eight hours without a drop of water. Why don't you take a rest?"
Gong Chengjue was acting somewhat erratically.
Even Gong Chengjue's special assistant believed that Gong Chengjue and his father had a very bad relationship.
If something really happened, I'd be sad, but to say I'm extremely sad? Probably not.
But what Luo Jinhan saw now made him realize he had guessed wrong.
Although the father and son often clash like fire and earth, their meetings are either awkward, sarcastic, or filled with arguments—there has never been a harmonious scene—but! They are father and son.
“I’m not tired,” Gong Chengjue said.
"Another body has been found." The sounds of a search and rescue operation came from not far away, but what they were looking for was a corpse.
There were over a hundred people on the plane, including over 160 passengers excluding the flight attendants, and now... over 140 bodies have been found.
There are still about twenty that haven't been found...
However, the idea that 'the rest of the people must all be dead' became even more obvious.
"Go find another lamp," Gong Chengjue ordered.
He won't stop until he finds his father...
Luo Jinhan nodded. "Then Mr. Gong, please wait for me here. The mountain path is slippery and there is no lighting right now, so please don't wander off."
