Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79

Tu Hengsha returned to the hotel when dusk was already falling, and there was an inexplicable sense of unease along the way. After arriving at the hotel, she checked both of her rooms to confirm that Su Ronggui had not yet returned.

Her taut nerves finally relaxed a bit.

She didn’t even understand what this mindset was. Was she really afraid of Su Ronggui? For what reason? Even if he was the chief journalist! That shouldn’t be a reason to be afraid of him, right?

She returned to her room and sorted through the contents of the day’s interviews while waiting for Su Ronggui to come back. He was the one truly immersed within the mining areas, the one who knew the situation the best. She had promised to speak out on behalf of Ge Zhuang and the others, and she waited for him to bring back first-hand information.

However, she waited until nine o’clock, and he still hadn’t returned.

She had been busy in the village all day and had only had breakfast in the morning. By this time, she was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. She decided not to wait any longer, went out to get a meal, and even packed a portion for him before returning to the hotel once again.

Coincidentally, she spotted the woman she had encountered the previous day. She was still wearing that fuchsia dress, still walking with her head down, and still accompanied by a man. However, the man was not the same as the one from the previous night...

The woman didn’t notice her, walking with her head lowered as she entered the elevator with the man.

So this was...

She had a suspicion in her heart, but she wasn’t sure if it was connected to the hotel.

This trip had been quite eventful!

Su Ronggui hadn’t returned all night. Tu Hengsha tried sending messages and making phone calls to contact him but to no avail. The next day, she headed to another village once more, with the situation being roughly the same as that in Liuxia Village.

And so it went until the night of the third day when Su Ronggui returned, travel-weary, and directly knocked on her door.

Tu Hengsha was quite surprised, "You finally made it back! If you hadn’t returned soon, I thought..."

"You thought I sacrificed myself for a great cause?" he said, putting down the equipment with a stern face.

"You said it yourself..." she murmured as she cheerfully grabbed the stuff he had put down, "I didn’t know you’d be back today. I bought food for you the past two nights, and you didn’t return. I didn’t buy anything today! There’s nothing to eat now. Are you hungry? I only have candy..."

She put down the stuff and fished out a few candies.

He was already used to her habit of producing candy anytime and anywhere, and asked with a hint of resigned exasperation, "You love candy so much. Didn’t your mom warn you about getting cavities?"

Tu Hengsha thought for a moment. At that time, her mom hadn’t been in great shape herself, so where would she have noticed such trivial matters? However, she didn’t say this, she merely blinked and replied, "I eat in secret, Mom doesn’t know!"

As she spoke, she unwrapped a candy and handed it to him.

He turned his head away, expressing disdain.

Tu Hengsha wasn’t annoyed and popped one into her mouth.

In fact, during these past few days with the issues concerning villagers with pneumoconiosis, her mood had been quite downcast. But seeing him return, she inexplicably felt much calmer, just like last time in the disaster area. A lot of sorrow, a lot of frustration, was alleviated in the moment of seeing him, knowing someone was with her.

No matter how huge the issue was, there was someone sharing the burden with her.

Even though what they were jointly shouldering was only a task, even though he had never been kind to her, she knew that during these tasks, their feelings were harmonious, and he understood all that she wanted to convey.

"What are you daydreaming about? What have you found out?" His voice interrupted her thoughts.

She was quite surprised, "How did you know I went out?"

He put on a stern face, "What did I tell you before I left?"

"..." People, when putting on mysterious airs, can especially appear enigmatic. If he had told her how he knew, she might have thought it wasn’t anything remarkable. It was just that he always had this cryptic demeanor, which made him resemble God.
