Chapter 2256: Just Spoil Him, Then

Just as the man furrowed his brows and was about to vent his anger on his subordinates, the villa butler walked over.

The butler lowered his head, held up a phone, and requested, "This is for you."

"Hang up!"

"But, but the person on the other end said her name is Su Kexuan."

Upon hearing this name, the man's pupils constricted violently.

Heh, no wonder his subordinates weren't speaking; it turned out she had already investigated this far!

Good, very good!

The man stared fixedly at the phone, as if he might snatch it over at any moment and smash it fiercely onto the ground.

But in the end, he still took it.

With the phone pressed to his ear, the man said "Hello" in a low, deep voice.

"Chu Tiankuo, it's been many years, and your methods are still so formidable."

Su Kexuan's voice made Chu Tiankuo's expression daze for a moment.

His memories were also pulled back to many years ago.

But soon, he returned to his cold indifference and mocked, "You're the one who's formidable, breaking through the trap so easily."

"It was alright, not too difficult, but you must be very disappointed that I didn't burn to death."

The fingers Chu Tiankuo used to hold the phone tightened.

After a few seconds of silence, Chu Tiankuo said, "Believe it or not, I didn't intend to set a fire to kill you."

"There's no point in saying that now; your various actions are equivalent to declaring war on me."

"Then what do you intend to do?"

"Naturally, I will strike back. You know, I'm not the type to take things lying down."

"Very good, that is indeed your style, but the previous matters were just an appetizer. Get ready to accept a real challenge!"

"But before accepting the challenge, may I ask what deep hatred exists between you and me that makes you want to put me to death even after all these years?"

Su Kexuan truly did not understand.

She wanted to take this opportunity to ask clearly.

Chu Tiankuo did not expect this woman to ask such a question, and he was stunned at first.

Afterwards, the expression on his face gradually became ferocious.

Finally, he roared, "Because you destroyed my faith!"

"Are you serious?"

"What, do I look like I'm joking with you?!"

"No, I think you look like you've lost your mind! Is such a lousy excuse worth you going to such great lengths to trouble me?"

Su Kexuan found it hard to understand.

She felt that Chu Tiankuo was either toying with her or was truly ill.

And her words made Chu Tiankuo become frantic.

He shouted, "If it were really an excuse, would I have been taking medication all this time!? Su Kexuan, you really are disgusting!"

The loud voice from the phone made Su Kexuan's ears ache.

She held the phone a little further away.

Once her ears felt a bit better, she pressed the phone back to her ear and asked, "What is wrong with you, why do you have to take medication?"

Chu Tiankuo did not speak.

He hung up the phone directly.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan put down the phone.

As the victor, the purpose of Su Kexuan making this call was to show off, and also to declare war.

But now...

Su Kexuan had a new discovery.

After a moment of silence, Su Kexuan called Xie Wanyi and said, "Can you help me check on Chu Tiankuo's physical condition?"

"I have already investigated; there are no problems with his body, but he has seen a Doctor."

"He's seen a Doctor? Why didn't you mention that before?"

"Because I couldn't continue the investigation; the Doctor who was treating him disappeared, and I suspect..."

"They were silenced?"

"Yes."

It seems there is a secret in this.

Su Kexuan lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Why did you suddenly ask me to investigate Chu Tiankuo's physical condition?"

Su Kexuan came back to her senses and replied, "I just spoke with Chu Tiankuo on the phone and happened to ask why he was targeting me. He said I destroyed his faith and also said he has been taking medication all these years."

After answering, Su Kexuan added her own realization: "I feel like he has mental issues, and I've become the scapegoat."

Xie Wanyi, however, felt that Su Kexuan might not just be a scapegoat.

It was just that he didn't have any evidence right now, so he didn't mention it, but instead asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"No matter what his hidden reasons are, they are not a justification for him to use underhanded methods against me. I'm not the type to take things lying down, so I will strike back."

Su Kexuan would not go head-to-head with Chu Tiankuo.

Instead, she would specifically target his weak points.

In this regard, Su Kexuan was very skilled!

Xie Wanyi knew that Su Kexuan had ideas, and also had the means.

But he had to remind Su Kexuan: "When dealing with a madman, you must be careful."

"I know."

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet; you're finally together with Mobai."

Xie Wanyi's topic shift was a bit abrupt; Su Kexuan paused for a moment before saying with a smile, "Thank you."

"I saw Mobai yesterday, and when he mentioned you, he couldn't stop grinning, and he kept praising you in every way—we were all a bit overwhelmed."

Su Kexuan could imagine what that scene was like.

The image in her mind made her lips curve upward.

Actually, Jiang Motian was quite right.

Jiang Mobai... is truly like a pendant.

Every time he sees Su Kexuan, he wishes he could stick to her body.

This makes her a bit helpless, and also a bit of a headache.

But Su Kexuan doesn't reject it at all.

Having things lively around her is quite nice.

The smile on Su Kexuan's lips deepened a few degrees.

Then she said: "You all will get used to it."

Xie Wanyi never expected that Su Kexuan would give such a response.

It really wasn't low-key at all.

After being stunned, Xie Wanyi laughed: "Starting to shield Jiang Mobai already? Sigh, I didn't expect you to be this kind of Su Kexuan."

"Then how do you think I should act?"

"Of course, by admonishing Jiang Mobai and telling him to calm down a bit."

"When in love, why be calm? When you were dating, were you calm?"

This...

Xie Wanyi was at a loss for words, then shook his head with a smile: "You seem like a parent spoiling a child."

"He's my boyfriend, of course I have to spoil him."

"Fine, go ahead and spoil him. Your relationship will spread soon, and by then, your status will rise with the tide."

This is unavoidable.

Su Kexuan won't reject it, but she won't be overly happy either.

Everything is just a matter of a normal mindset.

However...

"Others should think that it's Jiang Mobai who is marrying up to me."

"A playboy paired with a powerful businesswoman—it is indeed marrying up. But isn't Jiang Mobai planning to run a racing team? He'll probably catch up soon, and by then, it will become a strong alliance."

Su Kexuan loved hearing that.

She smiled faintly and said: "I'll take your kind words."

"No need for formalities; it's just saying a few nice things, which I am quite good at."

After joking around for a bit, Xie Wanyi returned to the main topic: "I will continue to look into Chu Tiankuo's psychological state, and I will let you know if there is any new information."

"Okay."

"Alright then, you go ahead and get busy."

Xie Wanyi said, then hung up the phone.

On Su Kexuan's side, she also put down her phone with a smile.

At this moment, an assistant knocked on the door and walked into the office, reminding her: "Boss, it's time to leave."

Su Kexuan had been invited to attend an event.

She checked the time, then packed her things, preparing to head to the event venue.
