Chapter 370 - 370: Lin Sisi Who Was Hiding
He hated Long Shuli!
Why did she, even in death, act like a mirror, revealing his utter incompetence?
Su Yingxue waited for two more days, yet Chu Chengye still hadn’t come to see her. However, news arrived from the prison.
Zi Wei returned with the information. “That person had recovered.”
“His legs and bones had fully healed?” Su Yingxue’s face reflected incredulity.
“He could stand already.” Zi Wei’s voice was hoarse.
“This was truly unimaginable.” Su Yingxue looked astonished. The bloodline of the Great Wei Dynasty stirred her intense curiosity. She genuinely wanted to bring that man to the clinic and study him.
However, Zi Wei also brought unwelcome news. “The people from the clinic were tortured.”
“Who? Was it Chu Chengye’s doing?” Su Yingxue’s heart tightened.
“Yes, Manager Qi,” Zi Wei replied.
His words were concise, but Su Yingxue could sense that Manager Qi, overseeing the clinic, would always be at the forefront, no matter the situation. Naturally, he would bear the brunt of torture.
But being a middle-aged man, he couldn’t endure for long.
She couldn’t afford to sit back and do nothing.
After some consideration, the only way to stop Chu Chengye from using torture was to compel him to hold a trial first. Moreover, the man from the Great Wei Dynasty had already recovered. If she ensured his presence at the court, Chu Chengye wouldn’t dare unjustly kill him.
Su Yingxue instructed Zi Wei to go back and protect the Great Wei Dynasty man. She couldn’t allow Chu Chengye to kill him.
She was there to force Chu Chengye to convene a trial!
“Miss, the Seventh Prince’s methods were swift and fierce. How do we save Manager Qi?” Zhilan asked, worried.
“Head to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion. Request Sister Jinyan to disseminate the news that Chu Chengye captured and tortured the clinic staff. 1’11 visit the Ninth Prince’s bookstore to seek his assistance in spreading this information. Public rumors will compel Chu Chengye to hold a trial!”
Otherwise, if he lost the public’s favor, he could forget about the throne!
After giving her orders, Su Yingxue immediately split up with Zhilan. She headed to Chu Jinling’s bookstore, intending to find a manager to delegate the task. Unexpectedly, Chu Jinling was there, and upon hearing Su Yingxue’s words, he immediately said, “I’ll handle this. But Auntie, 1 need your help.” “What help?” Su Yingxue tilted her head.
Chu Jinling’s fair face showed concern. “Sisi had been staying upstairs for a long time. She didn’t want to go home or see anyone. Please go and talk to her.” Su Yingxue nodded and went to the third floor. There was a door with an exquisite lock at the stairwell. She used the key given by Chu Jinling to open it.
However, before entering, she heard Lin Sisi’s frightened voice, “You’re not Jinling. Who are you? Don’t come in!”
Her voice trembled, lacking the former confidence.
“Sisi, don’t be afraid. It’s me.” Su Yingxue stepped in, feeling guilty.
“Dr. Su?” Lin Sisi’s voice held a hint of surprise.
But she didn’t immediately show herself. Instead, she remained behind the bookcase and said softly, “Did Jinling send you to accompany me? I… I’m fine.” “If you’re fine, why don’t you go home? Why don’t you see anyone? Why are you hiding in the dark? Why don’t you even see me?” Su Yingxue’s tone was filled with concern.
When she first met Lin Sisi, she also had flaws on her face, but she was arrogant and willful.
Now that her appearance was ruined and she was hiding, she looked like a little kitten who was seriously injured and only dared to lie in the dark and lick her wounds. It was unbearable..
