Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Er found himself threatened by his oafish elder brother, a fact that irked him. However, he maintained a facade of respect, grinning as he said, “Brother, why do you look at me like that? Do you think I would forsake family ties for money? Of course not. If I didn’t want you to profit, would I have shared this lucrative opportunity with you? I could have done it myself.”
Li Er patted his elder brother, Li Da, on the shoulder, a picture of fraternal affection. Yet, his heart was filled with disdain. For now, he needed to use Li Da, so he wouldn’t cross him. He would agree with everything Li Da said until he got his hands on the money. Then, he would be free and happy, no longer needing to deal with the foolish Li Da.
In the late afternoon, Gu Zi left the police station after completing her statement. Given the circumstances, she couldn’t entertain Gong Xin. Gong Xin understood and took a taxi back to the compound.
Just as Gong Xin’s taxi pulled away, a small car pulled up beside Gu Zi. She relaxed when she saw it was Su Shen’s car.
Su Shen got out of the car, opened the door for Gu Zi, and started the engine. Before she could ask, he began to explain the situation.
“I’ve sent all the samples to the chemistry institute. We should have the results by tomorrow. To make things easier, we’ll stay in a city hotel tonight. Don’t worry about the children; I’ve arranged for Lin Cheng to take them to the Lin family home.”
Gu Zi leaned her head against his shoulder, expressing her trust in him. “I have no reason to doubt you, Su Shen. I’m a bit tired. I think I’ll take a nap.”
Su Shen’s tone turned serious. “Since you trust me, let me be with you tomorrow when we face this. I’ve told you before, never face difficulties alone. It makes my existence meaningless.”
His words were harsh, but Gu Zi knew him well by now. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, especially towards her. He had a passionate, childlike heart. She knew he didn’t mean to be harsh, so she felt warm and touched.
Naturally, Gu Zi wouldn’t reject him. She closed her eyes in peace, whispering, “I understand.”
