Chapter 2094: To Achieve One's Goal, Even Life Is Disregarded

~7 min read 1,352 words

Xiaolin said: "I heard from the Doctor that Sui Xin has a history of treatment for psychological illnesses, but her family members were unaware of it."

Xie Wanyi did not find this news surprising.

He responded: "Sui Xin wants to perform well in front of her father, so naturally, she wouldn't leak such news."

"But her mother didn't know about it either; her mother has been crying ever since she arrived and only just quieted down."

Whenever Xiaolin thought of that woman's eerie sobbing, he felt a shiver run through him.

Too chilling!

Xie Wanyi was silent for a moment, then said: "With such a huge commotion, it would be difficult for Sui Xin's father not to know."

"Indeed, but her father hasn't come, hasn't sent anyone to check on her, and it seems he hasn't even made a single phone call. This father-daughter relationship..."

As Xiaolin spoke, he shook his head.

Xie Wanyi then asked: "How is the relationship between Sui Xin's father and his current wife lately?"

"Quite good, an old husband with a young wife."

"I am not talking about their superficial relationship, but the real situation."

"This... I will have the brothers look into it."

Xiaolin took out his phone to make arrangements and quickly received an answer.

"Boss, latest news: the old husband and young wife have been having conflicts recently because of their young son!"

"Sui Xin's half-brother?"

"Yes, the young wife plans to set up a growth fund for her son. This fund has a lot of hype and significant investment, but in reality, it's just a way to secretly funnel money into the young wife's pocket."

"Sui Xin's father didn't agree, so the couple developed a rift?"

"It's more than that. This young wife also manages a portion of the industries in the Sui Family company. Recently, there was a serious error in her work that caused a huge loss, which infuriated Sui Xin's father."

Speaking of this, Xiaolin realized something: "Could Sui Xin's attempt to end her life be something she did on purpose for her father to see?"

The more Xiaolin thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.

That Sui Xin was, in all likelihood, performing a bitter-meat trick.

And for this bitter-meat trick to work, it must be realistic enough to gain sympathy.

It's just that... Sui Xin made it a bit too realistic this time.

She almost really lost her life.

Just as Xiaolin was lamenting this, Xie Wanyi voiced his own thoughts: "Sui Xin's ultimate goal is definitely not her father."

"Ah, why?"

"If Sui Xin's goal were her father, she couldn't possibly be performing this farce in a foreign land. Wouldn't it be better to cause a scene right under her father's nose? Or taking the opportunity to use a borrowed knife to kill would be better than being ignored as she is now."

This... the Boss makes sense.

Xiaolin nodded silently.

He was about to speak again, but as he looked up, he saw a familiar, graceful figure walking out of the elevator at the other end of the corridor.

Jiang Motian was wearing sunglasses and a hat.

To avoid making noise, she was even wearing flat shoes.

After stepping out of the elevator, she looked left and right, trying to find Sui Xin's hospital room.

As it turned out, before she could find the room, she saw someone waving at her from the other end of the corridor.

Jiang Motian hurried over.

She pulled off her sunglasses and asked: "Why are you standing here so openly? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"It doesn't matter if we're discovered; it might just put some pressure on Sui Xin."

"Ah? Still putting on pressure? Isn't this person already..."

Jiang Motian did not finish her sentence.

But from her expression, it was clear that she was somewhat uneasy.

Xie Wanyi held Jiang Motian's hand and brought up something else: "Weren't you supposed to be painting in the Art Studio this afternoon? Why did you run over here?"

"I thought about it over and over, but I still couldn't rest easy, so I wanted to come and see what the situation was."

"Sui Xin is inside the hospital room and won't come out; you won't be able to find out any news even if you come."

"But Sui Xin's mother doesn't know me. When her mother comes out, maybe I can find an opportunity to chat with her for a bit."

"I can have my people find out whatever news her mother might share; there really is no need for you to make the trip."

Xie Wanyi felt bad for Jiang Motian running back and forth; he was worried she would be tired.

But to Jiang Motian, his words felt as if her concern was superfluous...

Jiang Motian let her shoulders slump.

But soon, she perked up again.

Jiang Motian said with glowing eyes: "Not everything is within your predictions!"

Xie Wanyi looked at Jiang Motian's smug expression and suddenly felt like laughing.

But in order to play along with Jiang Motian, Xie Wanyi held back his laughter and said with a straight face: "Then what is it that I don't know?"

"Qi Fengyang just went to cause trouble for Kexuan!"

Jiang Motian told Xie Wanyi everything that happened at the restaurant, as well as the fact that Sui Xin had sought out Su Kexuan.

Once Xie Wanyi heard the whole process, the smile hidden in his eyes vanished.

Xie Wanyi said: "The timing of this Qi Fengyang's appearance is truly 'coincidental'."

"It's more than just 'coincidental'; Qi Fengyang is practically Sui Xin's spokesperson! His appearance has too strong an objective!"

After finishing, Jiang Motian added: "He even insisted that Kexuan go and apologize to Sui Xin, but in my opinion, the apology is fake, and making the situation uncontrollable is the real goal!"

Xie Wanyi nodded in agreement and added: "He has set a trap; no matter if Su Kexuan goes or not, she will end up at a disadvantage."

Qi Fengyang indeed approached Su Kexuan with this exact mindset.

But Qi Fengyang never imagined that his perfectly good plan would end up ruined at the hands of Jiang Motian...

Thinking of Qi Fengyang's disheveled and defeated appearance at the end, Jiang Motian felt quite satisfied.

It's just that...

As Jiang Motian turned her head to look at the other end of the corridor, she sighed softly.

"What's wrong?"

"No matter what, Sui Xin shouldn't have actually committed suicide."

Xie Wanyi once again saw unease on Jiang Motian's face.

He probably knew why Jiang Motian was uneasy.

To soothe Jiang Motian, Xie Wanyi squeezed her hand.

After Jiang Motian looked over, Xie Wanyi said, "People who do crazy things can even throw away their own lives to achieve their goals."

"She didn't really want to end it all?"

"If she truly wanted to leave this world, she would do it quietly, not make such a huge scene. Just wait, she definitely has more tricks up her sleeve."

No sooner had Xie Wanyi finished speaking than the sound of a door opening came from the entrance of a hospital room.

Several people immediately hid at the entrance of the stairwell.

Then they quietly poked their heads out.

They saw a middle-aged woman walk out of the hospital room.

The woman still possessed a certain grace, yet she wore a miserable expression.

She walked forward a few steps, then took out her phone and impatiently dialed a number.

Before the call was connected, a glimmer of excitement flashed in the woman's eyes.

But as soon as the call was picked up, the woman's voice became cautious, her brows and eyes filled with deliberate obsequiousness:

"Are you really not coming to see your daughter? I don't know the reason either, I will take good care of her, then, then you go ahead and be busy."

After just a few words, the woman hung up the phone in disappointment.

Yet in an instant, her expression changed, and she said viciously, "It must be that little bitch getting in the way!"
