Chapter 366
"There are plenty of things you're capable of doing." She wouldn't dare do anything immoral or heinous? Ha.
Su Xiaoman was speechless, her heart racing, but she kept up a brave face, making it impossible for anyone to tell what was going on in her mind.
Su Ziqing appeared calm, but her mind was actually in turmoil because of the news Su Xiaoman had shared.
Gong Changming has joined forces with outsiders to target Gong Changhong.
Gong Changhong already holds a high position...
The only person capable of harming Gong Changhong must be...
Her face turned serious. Could it be something related to the relationship between the two countries?
Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts, but they couldn't let each other see what was going on when their eyes met, so neither of them looked away first.
Su Ziqing calmed herself down. No matter what, she had to inform Gong Chengjue about this first, but Gong Chengjue was probably still on the plane.
She gave Su Xiaoman a deep look. "That's all?"
"And then there's the matter of embezzlement and bribery that I mentioned before." She looked at Su Ziqing, "But don't all those people who are investigated have to go through those things?"
It's just numbers, because the data is so vast that even with what she knows, it really is just numbers.
Su Ziqing chuckled softly, "He does trust you, though."
Su Xiaoman responded with a light laugh, "I used to think so too, but this isn't because he trusts me, but rather... he can be discarded like trash at any time."
In the face of power, money is truly insignificant.
She was so naive, thinking that by getting pregnant with the son that old man wanted, she could stir up a storm.
Little did they know, in the eyes of others, all of this was nothing but a joke.
Su Ziqing had absolutely no sympathy for Su Xiaoman. "After what happened at Auchan, I thought you would have learned your lesson."
Su Xiaoman bit her lip, wanting to retort with a sarcastic remark to Su Ziqing, but in the end she held back and instead said in an apologetic tone, "You're right, I was too greedy."
Instead of enjoying her life as a wealthy heiress, she insists on having grand ambitions.
Desperate to surpass Su Ziqing and trample her underfoot, he was dragged into the abyss by hatred and obsession.
Su Ziqing looked at her apologetic attitude and remained silent.
Of course, she wouldn't believe what Su Xiaoman said.
She glanced at the time. "It's getting late. You should get some rest." With that, she left the ward.
Su Xiaoman watched her retreating figure, her eyes filled with inexplicable thoughts; only she knew what she was thinking.
……………………
Su Ziqing tried calling Gong Chengjue, but he didn't answer. An hour later, Gong Chengjue called her back after getting off the plane.
As soon as the call connected, Su Ziqing said to him, "Su Xiaoman remembered something important."
Then she explained what had happened, and finally asked worriedly, "You can't contact your second uncle either?"
Given his second uncle's position, any mission he undertakes must be very important, and he probably wouldn't be allowed to contact the outside world until it's over.
As Gong Chengjue walked out of the airport, he listened to Su Ziqing's words. If it was related to his second uncle, then connecting the dots wouldn't be impossible.
It was already too much of a coincidence that his second uncle was transferred to a business trip.
This was no small matter, and he needed to return to the Gong family immediately. However, he still patiently reassured Su Ziqing, "I have a way to make contact, so you don't need to worry."
"I suspect I was involved in kidnapping Su Xiaoman," Su Ziqing stated her suspicion, then waited for his analysis. "Aren't you right?"
However, Gong Chengjue's mind was already racing with thoughts of the recent turmoil in the capital, and he was somewhat distracted, only managing a soft "hmm."
From that one word, Su Ziqing knew he had been trying to comfort her. Her voice became more serious, "You can't contact your second uncle, can you?"
Things are probably more complicated than she thought.
Gong Chengjue wanted to tell a little lie, but in the end he gave up and just hummed in agreement.
Su Ziqing remained silent.
If that's the case, then it's dangerous.
"What should we do then? Your second uncle has been away on a business trip for three weeks, right?" Almost a month. Doesn't that mean things will get even more dangerous from here on out?
So, there's no bad news yet, which is good news, right?
Gong Chengjue let out a soft sigh of relief. "I'll try to contact my second uncle." But, if it involves that high-ranking official...
Gong Chengjue had been away from the capital for a week and was unaware of the extent of the changes that had taken place there, so he had no way to explain it to Su Ziqing.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright." He couldn't find any other words to comfort him.
But these were the words Su Ziqing wanted to say to him. "Yes, these are exactly what I wanted to say."
"I got a call, it's very late, why don't you go to sleep early?" He softened his tone, as if he could handle anything, even if the sky were to fall.
After hanging up, Gong Chengjue called back the number he had missed. "Uncle, I'm on my way back from the airport now."
"Can we get in touch with Second Uncle? By any means necessary, the sooner the better." Gong Chengjue's tone was serious. "I'll tell you the details when I get home."
Like him, Gong Changming was also making plans everywhere. The difference between a villain and a gentleman is that Gong Changming didn't care about any despicable or ruthless methods.
Da You, even if I lose, I'll drag a few of you down with me to the death.
However, anyone can do it, but Gong Changhong cannot!!
Gong Changhong is currently the most respected figure in the Gong family, and given his status... it's not something that can be achieved in a short time for the Gong family to cultivate someone to such a position.
