Chapter 2408

Ito Yuhiko and Tanaka Koichi jogged in Central Park for nearly half an hour and still hadn't had enough of running.

If it weren't for the time the birthday banquet started, the two of them could have run until the second half of the night in one breath.

On the way back, Ito Yuhiko was extremely happy. While wiping sweat with his hands, he said to Tanaka Koichi: "Tanaka, I didn't run enough just now. Let's go for a morning run at six o'clock tomorrow morning. I want to run three laps around Central Park!"

Tanaka Koichi said respectfully: "As you command, my lord."

Ito Nanako couldn't help but remind: "Otousan, you have just recovered, it's better not to exercise too violently."

Ito Yuhiko waved his hand and said seriously: "According to Mr. Ye's instructions, after returning to Japan, I can't go out for a run so casually. Taking advantage of the fact that no one in the United States recognizes me, I should walk and run as much as possible. After going back, I still have to pretend to be a disabled person for everyone to see."

Hearing this, Ito Nanako nodded understandingly and didn't insist anymore.

However, Ito Nanako suddenly remembered something and said with anticipation: "Otousan, since you like this feeling of no one recognizing you, why don't we stay in New York for a few more days."

"Okay!" Ito Yuhiko agreed almost without hesitation and smiled: "Once back in Japan, I can only live a life of staying behind closed doors. Thinking about it, I'm really a bit unwilling. If I can live a few more days of free life in the United States, that would be nice!"

Ito Nanako was also very happy in her heart. She actually wanted to stay in New York for a few more days. After all, Ye Chen was here, and staying would allow her to have more time with him.

So, she couldn't help but ask Ye Chen: "Ye Chen-kun, how much longer will you stay in New York?"

Ito Nanako's question left Ye Chen not knowing how to respond for a while.

In fact, the things he had to do were basically done.

He had already wiped out Mei Yuzhen and most of her accomplices, as well as the entire criminal group behind her.

Moreover, the Zong Qiuhua who escaped had been strictly monitored by the Wanlong Palace. As long as she was caught back, his mother-in-law Ma Lan would be cleared of suspicion and regain her freedom.

The reason why he didn't let the Wanlong Palace people catch Zong Qiuhua back immediately was also because Ye Chen wanted to save Li Yalin first, and then heal Ito Yuhiko, Tanaka Koichi, and He Yingxiu.

Now, Li Yalin had reunited with his family, and Ito Yuhiko and Tanaka Koichi had also become lively. Now, only He Yingxiu was left.

And in more than an hour, He Yingxiu would also land in New York, so logically speaking, tomorrow morning, Ye Chen could let the Wanlong Palace people bring Zong Qiuhua to New York. As long as this woman was brought to justice, his mother-in-law, who was known as the 'Bedford Hill Ghost', would also be able to be released from prison.

However, seeing that Ito Nanako intended to stay in New York for a few days, Ye Chen also felt a hint of reluctance in his heart, so he said: "I should stay in New York for two or three more days. After I handle my mother-in-law's affairs, I will return to Providence."

Ito Nanako nodded and said without hesitation: "Then we will stay in New York for a few more days, and we will return to Japan when Ye Chen-kun leaves New York."

"Okay." Ye Chen agreed straightforwardly.

When the four returned to the hotel, a sumptuous banquet had been prepared in Ye Chen's presidential suite.

Since it was Ito Yuhiko's birthday, Ye Chen prepared this banquet entirely because of Ito Nanako, so he didn't arrange for Chen Zekai, Hong Wu, and Su Ruoli to take their seats.

Moreover, Su Ruoli's mother He Yingxiu was about to land in New York in more than an hour, and her mind was already entirely on her mother.

At the dinner table, Ito Yuhiko sat on Ye Chen's right, Ito Nanako sat on Ye Chen's left, and Ito Emi and Tanaka Koichi sat opposite. There were only five people in total, so it seemed much more spacious.

Ito Yuhiko personally poured wine for Ye Chen and himself, then got up with Tanaka Koichi and said respectfully to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, please give Tanaka and me a chance, let us two toast you!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, picked up his glass, and said indifferently: "Mr. Ito, let's toast to your fiftieth birthday."

Ito Yuhiko said flattered: "Mr. Ye, you are too polite! This birthday is truly the most unforgettable birthday I've had in so many years. Everything is thanks to your generosity!"

As he spoke, he said with some shame: "Mr. Ye, you have always asked me to make a wish before, and I was a bit reluctant. Now it seems that I was truly a frog in a well. Please don't hold it against me!"

Ye Chen said politely: "Mr. Ito, you overstate it. Most people wouldn't believe in things like limb regeneration. It's a normal reaction for you not to hold hope in this matter. I can understand, so you don't have to mind."

As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed to the wine glass and smiled: "We've said enough polite words. From now on, let this banquet return to its original theme. Happy birthday, Mr. Ito, I'll drink first."

Ito Yuhiko saw that Ye Chen intended to turn the page on the Reshaping Pill, so he said very sensibly: "Thank you for your blessing, Mr. Ye, then I'll drink it too!"

Meanwhile.

A Gulfstream business jet of the Su family was flying at high speed over the United States, and the plane was only an hour away from New York.

Su Shoudao, the eldest son of the Su family and the father of Su Zhiyu and Su Ruoli, slept all the way in the bedroom inside the plane.

Approaching the destination, Su Shoudao finally woke up and walked out of the bedroom.

At this time, He Yingxiu was sitting by the window, looking out the window in a daze.

Su Shoudao looked at He Yingxiu's side profile, and couldn't help but feel a bit of palpitation in his heart.

Actually, He Yingxiu was very beautiful. Practicing martial arts all year round made her look younger than the average woman of her age, and also kept her figure very slim, so she looked like she was in her early thirties.

It was just that the only regret was her empty right sleeve.

During this period of time, Su Shoudao, who had divorced his original wife Du Haiqing, had been 'under house arrest' in Jin Ling by He Yingxiu according to Ye Chen's requirements.

However, although it was house arrest, He Yingxiu still took very good care of him.

In Jin Ling, except for not being able to go out, all other freedoms of Su Shoudao were unrestricted, and He Yingxiu also took meticulous care of him in his daily life, which made Su Shoudao's life much more comfortable.

For a long time before this, Su Shoudao's life had been somewhat displaced.

He was like the urinal of the old man Su Chengfeng, kicked around by the old man. Fortunately, He Yingxiu gave him a safe, stable, and warm place to stay, making him feel much more settled recently.

Although Su Shoudao no longer had the glory and power of the eldest son of the Su family, this plain and stable life still gave him great comfort.

However, his relationship with He Yingxiu did not get closer because of this "house arrest".

During this period, Su Shoudao was very moved by He Yingxiu's thoughtful care for him, and his feelings for her were rekindled, and Su Shoudao had also found several opportunities to privately and implicitly express his feelings to He Yingxiu.

But what made him helpless was that He Yingxiu never gave him a positive response.

He thought it was because He Yingxiu was disappointed in him, and coupled with the fact that many years had passed since their impulsive moment, it was very likely that He Yingxiu had no feelings for him anymore.

But what he didn't know was that He Yingxiu had actually only loved him alone in her life, and had been like that until now.

After all, when He Yingxiu was still ignorant, she began to follow Su Shoudao day and night to protect him, and her feelings had long been deeply rooted.

Later, she raised their two daughters alone, and her feelings for him had not diminished in any way over the years.

It was just that He Yingxiu had always been very inferior in front of Su Shoudao.

She was inferior back then because of the difference in status;

And now she was inferior because of the disability of her limbs.

She felt that although Su Shoudao was no longer as high and mighty as he was back then, he was still the eldest son of the Su family. How could such a man be with a woman who had lost an arm?

Therefore, even though Su Shoudao had expressed his feelings from time to time during this period, He Yingxiu never dared to give him any positive response.

She felt that she was not worthy of Su Shoudao at all.

In the future, when Ye Chen lifted his house arrest, he would definitely be able to find a woman who was better and more suitable for him than her.

She had his child back then, and later the matter was exposed, so she could be considered to have delayed him once. How could she delay him a second time now?

However, how could she have imagined that Ye Chen had already set a hidden task for Su Shoudao that no one knew about.

The key to whether Su Shoudao could lift his 'house arrest' lay in whether she and Su Shoudao could get together.
