Chapter 84: I’ll Keep My Word
When Zhou Fu arrived, Huo Qingyan was arranging the nutritional supplements Jiang Su and Xu Mochen had left behind.
He was acting with one hand, and before Zhou Fu arrived, Huo Qingyan had been fiddling with it for nearly ten minutes.
Finally, he took out a box of nutritional supplements, and Huo Qingyan’s brows relaxed slightly.
He handed the box to Zhou Fu, gesturing for him to open it.
Zhou Fu looked surprised as he took it.
This high-end nutritional supplement had been sent to Huo Qingyan by business partners before.
It was expensive, easily bought with money, and not heartfelt.
Huo Qingyan had never drunk it before.
What was going on today? Why would he drink this?
After opening it and handing it back to Huo Qingyan, Zhou Fu asked, “Did Mr. Huo have a visitor?”
He wondered which partner had sent it.
The nutritional supplement was bland. Huo Qingyan took a sip, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still drank it all.
Huo Qingyan put the empty bottle aside, frowning and asking, “Is everything done?”
“Yes.”
Zhou Fu poured Huo Qingyan a glass of water before continuing, “Xu Ce is notoriously malicious. Any two of his actions could get him hammered, but he entered the industry early and has connections. Plus, people are afraid of angering him and causing collateral damage, so no one has dealt with him.”
Huo Qingyan was silent for a moment before instructing, “Wait until Jiang Su starts, then make your move.”
Jiang Su had clearly said not to interfere.
But he couldn’t do nothing.
Xu Ce couldn’t be left alone.
Hearing him mention Jiang Su, Zhou Fu realized the nutritional supplements were brought by Jiang Su and Xu Mochen.
…
As soon as Jiang Su got in the car, he started checking Xu Ce’s Weibo.
Xu Ce’s Weibo was probably managed by a team, mostly promotional content.
There was nothing interesting.
Jiang Su put down his phone and saw Xu Mochen glancing at him in the rearview mirror.
Jiang Su crossed his arms. “What’s with that expression?”
“At the hospital just now…” Xu Mochen chose his words carefully, feeling that Jiang Su was becoming increasingly harsh towards Huo Qingyan.
Jiang Su lowered his eyes, his voice soft. “Huo Qingyan himself said I shouldn’t visit him. What’s the problem?”
This Jiang Su had a similar unyielding authority to Huo Qingyan.
Xu Mochen weakly said, “Nothing…”
Jiang Su realized his tone was a little harsh.
He softened his tone and explained, “Da Xu, I just don’t want to see him again.”
After accidentally overhearing Huo Qingyan and Huo Zhenheng’s conversation outside the ward, he instinctively wanted to find out what happened.
Habit and instinct are terrifying things.
Xu Mochen was silent for a moment before asking, “What about Xu Ce? What do you plan to do?”
“What is he doing lately?”
“Filming a new variety show. Xu Ce’s circle is dirty. If he gets into trouble, he’ll definitely drag a bunch of people down with him. Those people are giving him resources to keep him happy.” Xu Mochen disliked Xu Ce, his tone full of disgust.
Jiang Su propped his chin up. “Where is he filming?”
Xu Mochen looked surprised. “Are we going to find Xu Ce now?”
“If it really was him, let’s finish it quickly and give Shen Xiumei time to find a new guest.” Jiang Su didn’t plan to let this go easily.
It was Saturday in a few days, the airing date of the second episode of “After Divorce, Are You Happy?”.
Shen Xiumei needed time to find a new guest.
Xu Mochen chuckled, “CEO Shen will thank you for thinking of him like this.”
…
Xu Mochen had many channels for information.
He quickly found out where Xu Ce was filming and staying.
As soon as Xu Ce got out of the car, Jiang Su blocked his way.
Xu Ce seemed momentarily stunned, only speaking after a while. “Jiang Su? Why are you here?”
Jiang Su didn’t waste words. “Were you at the game yesterday?”
Xu Ce’s expression changed, his eyes flickering. “Whether I went or not is none of your business!”
Clearly nervous and trying to bluff.
If he had just gone to watch the game, he wouldn’t be this nervous.
It was definitely Xu Ce.
Jiang Su took a step forward. “Remember what I said before?”
Jiang Su’s expression was calm, but Xu Ce felt inexplicably panicked. “What?”
“Forgot?” Jiang Su showed a disappointed expression. “But it doesn’t matter. You’ll remember soon. I’m a man of my word. I do what I say.”
Jiang Su stepped back, smiling. “Goodbye, Teacher Xu.”
Xu Ce shivered inexplicably. “I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
He then fled into the hotel.
Xu Mochen watched Xu Ce’s back. “How cowardly. He doesn’t even dare admit whether he went to the game.”
Jiang Su sneered. “Huo Qingyan was injured. Would he dare admit it?”
People like Xu Ce bully the weak and fear the strong.
He thought Jiang Su had no background and dared to do this.
But Huo Qingyan’s identity was there. How dare Xu Ce provoke him?
As they walked back to the parking lot, Jiang Su took out his phone to find Shen Xiumei’s number.
As he was about to call, he heard a faint cry for help.
“Help… me…”
Jiang Su listened intently but couldn’t hear it again.
Seeing Jiang Su standing motionless in front of the car, Xu Mochen asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Su looked up. “Did you hear someone calling for help?”
Xu Mochen also listened carefully. “No…”
“Let go of me!”
As soon as Xu Mochen finished speaking, he heard a woman’s shout.
This time, the voice was clearer.
Jiang Su put his phone back in his pocket, followed the sound, and found that it was coming from a car.
The lighting in the outdoor parking lot was dim at night, but it was enough to see the scene inside the car through the windshield.
A man and a woman were wrestling inside.
The burly man was holding the woman down, and the woman was struggling fiercely.
Xu Mochen recognized the woman. “Tang Juanzi?” Everyone in the industry knew what kind of person Tang Juanzi was.
Xu Mochen whispered, “Are they playing a game?”
The people in the car noticed Jiang Su and Xu Mochen.
The man grabbed Tang Juanzi’s hair and yelled, “What are you looking at? Never seen a car sex scene?”
Tang Juanzi recognized Jiang Su. “Jiang Su, save me!”
Jiang Su was silent for a moment, turned to open the car door, but found it locked.
He dialed the police on his phone and showed it to the people inside through the car window.
A hint of nervousness flashed across the man’s face. He pushed Tang Juanzi away and got out of the car. “You’re Jiang Su, right? You’re brave! Don’t let me catch you; otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
The man was shorter than Jiang Su and looked furious. Compared to the calm and elegant Jiang Su, he seemed insignificant.
He turned to get back into the car.
Jiang Su stepped in front of him, causing him to stumble and fall heavily to the ground.
Jiang Su said slowly, “I don’t like unfamiliar people calling themselves ‘Laozi’ in front of me.”
