Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 296 - 286 Why

Chapter 296: Chapter 286 Why

It was at this time that Su Rongcheng and his sister knocked on the door.

"Rongcheng and Rongxing are here," Shang Qingmei reminded him.

"Dad," Su Rongcheng’s voice sounded from outside.

That voice pulled Su Zhen from his fluctuating emotions, reminding him that he was still the head of the household.

"Come in," his thoughts cleared up.

"Dad, you were looking for me?" Su Rongxing entered the room under Su Zhen’s scrutinizing gaze.

"Looking for you both! Where’s Ronggui?" The calm Su Zhen returned to his old self, a hint of authority in his demeanor.

Su Rongcheng was about to speak when Su Rongxing beat him to it, "He went to his girlfriend first, of course!" her voice thick with jealousy.

Su Zhen’s expression changed instantly, "What right do you have to be jealous? What place do you have to speak here? You’re a Su, and so is he. He’s your elder brother!"

"But not by blood!" Su Rongxing shouted with tears in her voice.

"That doesn’t matter! Ridiculous! Do you need to act out this performance? Engagement? Cancellation? How will I face the public tomorrow? Where will I put my face?" He hadn’t even known the young ones had arranged such a plan.

Su Rongxing tilted her chin, all stubbornness, "Do you still have a face now?"

"You..." With a slap, Su Zhen hit Su Rongxing across the face.

It was Su Zhen’s first time laying hands on his daughter.

He indeed had no face left now; a lifetime’s worth of dignity trampled underfoot. He would become a laughingstock for everyone!

Su Rongxing, having never been wronged by Su Zhen, and accustomed to being willful in front of him, felt a mix of grief and anger. She grabbed whatever was on the table, be it pages of a book or a photo frame, crying as she hurled them at Su Zhen. Some even hit Shang Qingmei.

After throwing, she turned and ran out. Shang Qingmei, always being less confident in front of Su Rongxing, could only endure the barrage. Su Zhen was so angry his face turned blue, yet he was helpless. Pointing outside the door, his finger trembled with anger, "Look! Look at this! This is the trouble I’ve indulged you all into! Daring even to strike me!"

Su Rongcheng said nothing.

"Tell me! Whose rotten idea was this!" Su Zhen shouted at his eldest son, "How dangerous was it, do you know? A murderer! You could lose your lives in this! Is your life worthless, or your sister’s?"

Shang Qingmei’s eyelids moved slightly, and what about her son’s life? Not mentioning it now? Her own harshness toward her son was another matter...

"I thought of it," Su Rongcheng admitted without hesitation.

"Bullshit!" Su Zhen immediately saw through him. This group of kids, every time they got into trouble growing up, the eldest son would stand firm and take all the blame. But this wasn’t his doing this time.

Su Rongcheng didn’t hide it from him anymore and told the truth, "There was no choice, Rongxing was being driven crazy. After Fan Yue died, you were taken away, and someone started harassing Rongxing like crazy, saying how long they’d liked her and how much they loved her. That was fine, but this person was a complete freak! He knew everything Rongxing did every day, sending indecent messages, almost lecherous, sending flowers and with indecipherable cards. Rongxing felt watched 24/7..." He wanted to say ’voyeuristic,’ but couldn’t bring himself to use such a word for his sister, so he skipped it, "Once, when Rongxing went to see Cui Pei, she received threatening texts, asking if she wanted Cui Pei to die again. Then Rongxing got a gift; inside was a blood-stained finger, and we didn’t know whose it was. Such a person, hiding in the dark, likely an IT expert, couldn’t find his IP for a while, and the messages weren’t coming from a phone. But Rongxing couldn’t take it anymore, feeling observed around the clock by a maniac. We initially thought this person might be related to Fan Yue’s death and wanted to compete for Rongxing regardless of the cost. So, we came up with a plan to lure the snake out of its hole but couldn’t find anyone reliable and cooperative enough to act with Rongxing, only Ronggui seemed safest... But... I didn’t know Rongxing actually..."

Su Rongcheng pressed his lips, stopping his words.

Su Zhen was still infuriated, not expecting the children he grew up supporting to go to such extremes, angered also by their ignorance of danger, playing such a risky game!

"You needed to come up with plans? Why didn’t you take this to the police? What do you take yourselves for?" And they deliberately hid it from him!

Anyway, the deed was done, and they caught the person, so Su Rongcheng simply shut his mouth. Take it to the police? If the police knew of this plan, they certainly wouldn’t have let them proceed. As for ’what do you take yourselves for?’ he couldn’t help but chuckle, their investigative ability, courage, and curiosity rivaled the police’s enough at home...

Su Zhen, infuriated by his attitude, had an even bigger headache, "Did you never consider the possibility of failure? Of dying before me? How would I face your mother below the ground? She held my hand on her deathbed, asking me to never let you suffer!"

This was the umpteenth time Shang Qingmei heard Su Zhen mention his ex-wife tonight...

Her back teeth had been clenched over and over again!

"We thought about it," Su Rongcheng admitted frankly, "But we took thorough safety measures, so there shouldn’t be a life-threatening risk. And besides, maybe this person wouldn’t fall for it. If not, we’ll just treat the banquet as a celebration of your return, though we’ll have to find another way to lure him out." As for meeting mom in the afterlife, let’s not mention it. How many years have you not thought of mom? Of course, he dared not say these words, at least not now.

Finally, Su Zhen’s headache forced him to tell him to scram, which Su Rongcheng promptly did.

Su Rongxing rushed out of the house in one breath, driving aimlessly in the night. Realizing the road grew narrower and the car harder to drive, she found herself unknowingly driving into Yangrou Geda Alley.

She wasn’t in the mood to test her driving skills in the narrow alley, so she parked by the roadside and walked inside.

The courtyard gate was locked.

She stood at the gateway, lacking the courage to knock.

Suddenly she didn’t know why she came here. Sitting down on the doorstep, she recalled the days after mom first passed, often sitting on the steps at home, as if waiting would bring mom back to gently scold her for dirtying her white dress.

In the silent alley, footsteps echoed from afar, a streetlamp casting the visitor’s shadow long and stretched on the ground.

She got up and ran toward him, stopping two meters away. As the streetlamp illuminated his face, it was encased in a layer of frost. Her tears surged uncontrollably, cascading down.

"Why? Why?" She wanted to ask him why she couldn’t be the one to walk alongside him always. But all that came out were the same three words repeated over and over.
