Chapter 138: Useless

"Second Young Master's hand moved!"

Ji Yan turned her head, and Su Yi's hand was indeed moving. She hurriedly called Shi Tingzhang.

Su Yu watched them busy, 【Is my dad overdue for scolding? I cursed him in my heart several times today, and he actually moved!】

Su Yi: Rebel girl! Rebel girl! Rebel girl!

The more Su Yi was angry, the more bitter he became, and his hand trembled even more!

Shi Tingzhang and a group of doctors ran over, quickly set down the equipment, and examined Su Yi's body. Ji Yan stayed where she was waiting, and Su Yu was taken away by the butler.

"I want to wait here for news."

【If I'm not allowed to see, I can understand; why not let me wait outside?】

"Miss Xiao Yu, be good, we'll go back first; after Second Young Master finishes his check, he'll be sent back too."

Su Yu still wanted to insist on waiting here, but Ji Yan also coaxed her, "Sweetie, could you go back first?"

【Fine, Mom even spoke up!】

Su Yu obediently went back. She saw Yang Zhichun in the living room.

"Great-grandma, Dad's hand moved!"

"Hmm, I understand, Xiao Yi will definitely like Xiao Yu. We'll wait together for your dad to wake up!"

Su Yu smiled and nodded, "Mm hm!"

【He would never like me! I'll compete with him for Mom! No second child!】

Yang Zhichun pulled Su Yu into her arms. She was tiny and soft; when she smiled, the sunshine was bright, like their hope. Their family's little hope doesn't want a second child, so it won't. There's no need to worry about a child without a shadow. What if Su Yi wakes up and can't have children anymore?

Yang Zhichun thought she should find a time for Ji Yan and Su Xi to convey her thoughts to Su Yu.

They waited about half an hour before Ji Yan returned. When they came back, they were pushing the still-comatose Su Yi behind them.

Su Yu stepped forward to ask, "How's Dad?"

【Can he wake up? If he wakes early, big uncle can also chase after the one he likes sooner!】

Yang Zhichun raised an eyebrow at Su Xi standing beside her. Is this grandson finally having direction? Should we just announce Su Yi and Ji Yan's relationship? Anyway, the day of sending Chu Han Ya to a cell isn't far off.

Su Xi shook his head at Yang Zhichun. These things can't be rushed.

"The Doctor said, based on preliminary assessment, this time his emotional fluctuations are huge, and it's a pity he couldn't wake up. In his condition, we can only wait."

Ji Yan thought Su Yi could probably hear Su Yu's thoughts and was angered by her. But that anger can't be used carelessly. She feared it might cause Su Yi some trouble. Moreover, the father and son hadn't formally met yet, and making the relationship so strained unilaterally wasn't good!

"If emotional fluctuations are large, can he wake up?"

【If that's the case, I whisper to his ear every day that my mom remarried and wants a second child; will he be woken up by anger? Then drag his sick body to steal a bride? The picture is kind of thrilling; when I grow up I could write a live-action novel and make some money!】

Ji Yan: That's not necessary; you can use big brother to stimulate your dad.

Su Yi: Rebel girl, are you trying to kill me with anger?!

Ji Yan, fearing her daughter might actually do that, quickly added, "Large emotional fluctuations don't guarantee waking; the Doctor only offers this possibility. His emotional swings probably haven't reached the critical point, which is a bit regrettable."

Shi Tingzhang said that at the critical point, either one is woken up by anger or fainted from it. The former is the best outcome. If it's the latter, they can use it to determine whether Su Yi's consciousness remains clear—whether he's angry because Ji Yan abandoned him to walk with Su Yu?

He then recited a long list of medical terms; Ji Yan didn't understand. But she roughly grasped that Su Yi's condition is special; in a sense, he's a little white mouse protected by various instruments.

Reaching the critical point of emotional fluctuation doesn't necessarily wake Su Yi, but it lets the doctors rule out the possibility that he wakes via emotion. Because physical issues caused by emotional swings can be treated immediately.

Ji Yan felt weird when she heard that.

Later, Shi Tingzhang suggested she could further stimulate Su Yi together with Su Yu, and she felt even stranger. It seemed they had become experimental tools? Ji Yan neither accepted nor refused. If her daughter kept failing to draw the card that wakes Su Yi, they'd try the Doctor's method again.

"Indeed, what a pity~"

【Sure enough, useless, still won't wake!】

Ji Yan: …

Su Xi: …

Yang Zhichun: …

Su Yi: I can hear you!

Ji Yan was curious about what Su Yu encountered at the auction today, why she was so irritable, and kept calling Su Yi a waste.

Su Yu's previous attitude toward Su Yi was just normal jealousy. Ji Yan consulted Shi Tingzhang, who said this is a normal phenomenon. Kids all have possessiveness. Su Yu's experiences combined with their unintentional indulgence made her behavior more pronounced. If Su Yu pretended otherwise, it would be worse. Continuously suppressing her emotions can lead to problems.

"Sweetie, did you have fun at the auction? Anything you liked?"

Su Yu shook her head vigorously, "No, not fun at all!"

【That money‑laundering meeting, I wish I'd never gone! Wulongcha, what happened to that wanted criminal?】

Wulongcha looked at the people in the living room, fearing Su Yu's emotions might be exposed, 【I'll tell you when you go back to your room.】

【Fine!】

Money‑laundering meeting? Wanted criminal?

Ji Yan and Yang Zhichun both looked at the informed Su Xi.

"It's getting late, Xiao Yu, rest early; you have to work tomorrow."

"Alright!"

Su Yu, wanting to know the wanted criminal's follow‑up, obediently went upstairs to bathe.

Su Xi stayed in the living room and briefed Yang Zhichun on today's events.

"Did they catch the person?"

"They caught them, but catching isn't the end; the matter is still troublesome."

Su Xi's information can be well‑informed, but not psychic!

He must, while being able to reasonably explain the source of the information, seek the greatest benefit. He now regrets a bit. If he had studied computer technology in college, he could have had an extra flashy title to rationalize things found online.

"Whose family did it?"

"The Yin family and the Xu family; the mastermind behind the scenes is the Lu family. Xiao Yu's system identified Lu Zhongda, but such disgusting tactics are very reminiscent of the styles of the two old guys from the Lin family and the Lu family."

According to data compiled by the Su family's old intelligence network, Lu Zhongda's men are all followers of the two old masters. They love to help Lu Zhongda "plug the gaps," and whatever they did in this incident is no surprise.

"Your people have secretly contacted Yin Wei?"

"Yes."

"Let Xie Shouyun handle it. He and Yin Wei carved out a domain overseas, then returned in middle age despite domestic pressure—he's a tough character. The Lu family wants to clear its name, while the Xie family is already clean; it's obvious who the higher-ups will support."

"Yin Wei cares only about the Yin family, and Xie Shouyun cares even more about the Xie family. When he acts, he'll indiscriminately attack the Xu, Yin, and Lu families. Of these three, only the Xu family looks innocent on the surface, but deep down they know the truth."

"Could Xu Jun, who gets led around by Lu Zhongda's tricks, really mobilize that much Xu family power? No one with sense would believe it!"

"Okay, I'll think of a way."

"Sending the message must be covert, so no one notices; he wants to use their family as a blade, but that would hurt feelings."

Upstairs, after her shower, Su Yu watched the shower head spraying bubbles, with the cheerful Wulongcha fluttering nearby, and she couldn't help asking it.

【Wulongcha, how was that wanted criminal caught?】

Su Yu also wanted to ask, had he been hit by a car?

Wulongcha flew out of the water area, floated to Su Yu's face, and a cheerful voice sounded: 【Host, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?】

【From your voice I can tell it's good; let's hear the bad news first.】

【The bad news is the wanted criminal wasn't sent directly to the police station.】

Su Yu wasn't surprised at all. A wanted criminal who could scrape together that much money, never worrying about food or drink, must weigh over 60 kg. It's normal that he couldn't be delivered to the police station.

She put on her pajamas, lay down in bed, quietly opened one eye, glanced at Ji Yan, who had fallen asleep and was playing with her phone, then quickly closed her eye pretending to sleep.

【Mom's looking at her phone—tell me the good news!】

Good night, babies~
