Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 188 Her Little Boy

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Her Little Boy

Regarding this topic, Tu Hengsha could not continue with Shu Hui. Shu Hui only said, "How you think is your business. You can treat your grandparents however you want, but the fact that I can still send them money each month means I’ve done my utmost! Let’s sleep!"

The next day, Tu Hengsha went to the newspaper office for work. She desperately wanted to maintain her usual state of mind, but for her, it was too difficult.

The figure of that person she might encounter at the newspaper office loomed like a mountain, pressing on her shoulders, back, and heart, making every meter toward the office increasingly difficult to traverse. The closer she got to the office, the heavier the mountain became, weighing her down and making even breathing a struggle.

At the entrance of the newspaper office, she encountered Hao Ren, who beamed at her, calling her name, "Where did you go these past few days? You didn’t mention anything beforehand!"

She barely managed a smile, and her facial muscles seemed somewhat relaxed, "I went to the countryside to visit my grandparents!"

"Why didn’t you tell us first? No one knew where you went! Chen Qi couldn’t say either! Your Mr. Su has been in a bad mood for several days!" Hao Ren teased her.

Initially, her facial muscles had eased up upon seeing Hao Ren, but now they tensed again. Was his face really dark? Of course it was! How could he not be upset, knowing his "girlfriend" was the murderer of his father’s enemy?

The two walked up the stairs.

When they reached the editorial floor, the elevator doors opened at the same time. Someone walked out of the elevator, discussing, "Hey, have you heard? Tu Hengsha’s dad is a murderer! He’s in jail!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! And that’s not even the most shocking part! Do you know what is?"

"What? Stop keeping us in suspense!"

"Tu Hengsha’s dad killed Su Ronggui’s biological father!"

"Is that true? That’s so sensational!"

"How could it not be? Absolutely true!"

"This is going to be good to watch!"

"..."

As they continued to gossip, Tu Hengsha found herself unable to move another step. The past rushed into her mind like a storm of dark clouds, making her dizzy and unstable. She clutched the stair rail, hearing a roaring in her ears with countless childish voices intertwined, "Her dad wants to kill someone! Don’t play with her!"

"Will she kill someone too? Let’s beat her to death! We’ll do it together!"

"Run! Her mom is a lunatic! Lunatics grab kids! Run!"

"I have an egg! I’ll throw the egg at her!"

"Hit her!"

"Hit her!"

"Hit..."

The image of a little girl crouching in a corner expanded infinitely before her eyes, her face covered in a mixture of porridge and soup...

Hao Ren watched her in shock, seeing her hand gripping the handrail turning ashen, witnessing her pale face, trembling lips, and the beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

"Little Sha..." he called her, but she ignored him.

The gossip continued, and he burst out in anger, charging forward and shouting at them, "Haven’t you said enough?"

The conversation ceased.

However, someone retorted unpleasantly, "What’s this got to do with you? You should check who you are before sticking your nose in!"

"It’s none of your business who I am! But who are you? Employees of the renowned Chenjiang Newspaper, yet you act like low-level paparazzi digging around for gossip! Aren’t you ashamed?" Hao Ren scolded.

"Whether we’re ashamed or not isn’t your concern! And who are you? What right do you have to stand up for Tu Hengsha? Are you her boyfriend? Because I heard her boyfriend isn’t you! She’s Mr. Su’s girlfriend!"

"Exactly! Don’t you have any shame coveting someone else’s girlfriend?"

"But now you have a chance! Mr. Su certainly won’t want the daughter of a murderer! No, no, to be accurate as journalism demands, the daughter of his father’s murderer! You can fill the gap now!"

"Yeah! Isn’t the first principle of our profession as journalists to seek truth? We’ve uncovered a highly valuable social story, discussing it openly and honestly! If the editor approves, we can even turn it into a commentary and publish it! Where are we wrong?"

"Isn’t Mr. Su working on this topic? Studying the criminal psychology of prison inmates! Perfect timing to research his future father-in-law!"

"No, now it would be his ex-future father-in-law, wouldn’t it?"

"I wonder if Mr. Su was as wise and calm when interviewing his murderer-ex-future father-in-law?"

"Why not take Mr. Su’s place and conduct the interview, Hao Ren? I see you want to get involved!"

"Yes! Let’s see how you stick your foot in this one!"

"Hahaha!"

Amidst the uproarious laughter, Hao Ren faced the siege and became furious, "You’re completely unreasonable..."

Tu Hengsha stopped listening, unable to bear any more.

But she didn’t know where to go. The corridor leading to the editorial platform felt like a battlefield, replaying a war she had feared since childhood, the only war she dreaded, with no courage to join.

History kept repeating itself.

Yes, they were right. She was the daughter of a murderer, the daughter of Mr. Su’s father’s enemy. This fact was branded on her skin and flesh, impossible to wash away. They were stating the facts; there was no falsehood. She lacked the ability or authority to silence others. Everyone knew now, did they? Good! Facing the truth openly didn’t feel that bad, after all!

But how did they know? In this circle, in the world she grew up in, only he, who looked through the case files with her, knew this secret...

Was it him?

In her mind emerged the image of a little boy with a round face, offering a lollipop with chubby little hands, "Grandma said when you’re sad, your heart feels sour, but if you eat a candy, it will taste sweet..."

No, she didn’t believe it. Even if this boy hated her deeply, she didn’t believe he would expose this to everyone. He was her little boy! Even separated by a vast chasm, he was a kind-hearted boy with warm eyes in her heart, how could he do such a thing?

She stumbled downstairs, wandered aimlessly in a corridor of unknown floor, and reached the end of the corridor vacantly. There, she heard a familiar voice speaking. As she approached, the voice became clearer, "Su Ronggui, you don’t need to feel bad! You still have us. I, big brother, and Dad are always welcoming you home! But Grandma would be sad if she knew about this, right? You’ll surely want to stay with Grandma, won’t you? No worries, I’ll stay with Grandma with you! Hey, Tu Hengsha fooled Grandma into liking her so much! Really misjudged! Fortunately, we found out early, and you didn’t make a big mistake with her, there’s still time! Just break up then! If you don’t want to see her ever, we can quit, I’ll quit with you, and then return to the company to help Dad..."

So, it really was him...

Tu Hengsha silently closed her eyes, turned around, and tears streamed down.

Her little boy, this time it was time to say goodbye...
