Chapter 379: Carrying

After Su Yi recovered, he directly called Su Yu.

"Su Yu, where are the people? Where's the helmet? Are you messing with me?"

Su Yi was furious! There's literally no one here, only chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and sheep. Each area raises a single kind of animal, and it looks especially filthy. The ground is covered with all kinds of feces and urine, and flies and mosquitoes swarm in the air.

Su Yi just arrived here and got a bite! And damn, it was right on the eyelid!

He suspects his daughter is playing a prank on him!

Su Yu looked bewildered, "Didn't I send someone to pick you up?"

"Yeah, they took me to a shabby farm, and the people disappeared."

"Wait a moment!"

Su Yu used the company phone to make a call, and the other side answered quickly.

"General Manager Su, what orders do you have?"

Su Yu inherited the Su Clan and is now General Manager Su, while Su Xi has become Chairman Su.

"Is Su Yi up in the laboratory? I sent someone to pick him up. Why did you leave him alone there and point to a rather strange exit?"

The laboratory has several entrances and exits, but all require card swipes. The more normal exits lead to the farm's office area or the nearby staff dormitory.

Inside the farm there is an "escape passage". If external factors threaten the staff, they can use that passage to exit onto the highway.

The highway is equipped with surveillance cameras and passing vehicles, which can maximally ensure their safety.

Under normal circumstances, employees are not permitted to use that passage.

"Perhaps the reception staff misunderstood; I'll send someone right away to pick up Vice General Manager Su!"

"…"

Su Yu fell silent, hung up, and contacted the official personnel supervising the production line from outside again.

"Miss Su?"

"Hmm, there's an internal issue; you should arrest both the person in charge and the one who guided my father, absolutely without injustice."

Su Yu is not foolish at all. Since she rose to power, people have been scheming daily to sow discord between her and Su Xi and Su Yi.

Su Xi, even in retirement, shares this concern. With the old and new transitioning, those whose interests aren't harmed are indifferent, but some do suffer losses! Their interests are hurt while the Su Family enjoys harmony and a smooth transition, and they are unwilling to accept it! They want to stir the waters, incite internal strife within the Su Family, and have them kill each other!

Su Yu and Su Xi teamed up to resolve one wave, thought they had cleared everything, but another wave appeared.

【Sigh! Still better to be a carefree rich second‑generation who lives off indulgence!】

Wulongcha is also exhausted. It is indeed an intelligent system, but systems get tired too! The thought of having to "control the whole situation" makes it feel the job isn't appealing! 【Better to just save money slowly!】

【Then I'll never save enough even if I save my whole life.】

The current Su Family may be the only one that can withstand Su Yu's consumption. If it were the old family, Su Yu would worry about bankrupting the household.

【Being a system is hard!】

【Life is hard!】

Su Yu and Wulongcha shared the same sentiment simultaneously. While "one person, one system" is the saying, they still promptly arranged new staff to take over the helmet production line.

Su Yi, after going inside, also felt some regret!

He should have learned more. Now that he's here, he can only be a supervisor, and he doesn't understand any of the inner workings.

When production briefly halted, Su Yi could only serve as a mascot, a situation that greatly stimulated Su Yi.

He began to grasp what his daughter meant: she may not know, but she cannot be unaware of the meaning. If he had relevant work experience, he might quickly take over the work of the person caught on the production line.

But he doesn't!

Not knowing anything, Su Yi fears that his random meddling will make things worse. He is extremely insecure! His lack of confidence also affects some ordinary staff.

Su Yi even looks down on himself.

Su Yi is still self‑loatheful, and the people Su Yu ordered the officials to send have arrived. They efficiently resolved the matter here, then took Su Yi on a tour of the entire process.

Su Yi studied earnestly, while Su Yu herself was lying down resting at the headquarters.

"So tired!"

After finishing the data simulation, Su Yu flopped onto the bed like a pancake! Having finally completed a stage of data, she just wanted to sleep deeply. She messaged her mother and uncle, then felt at ease and fell asleep in the company lounge.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

Su Yu opened her phone; it was past nine o'clock at night.

She stretched lazily, feeling only fatigue.

【Tsk, Wulongcha, chronic overtime is unbearable; I'm almost exhausted! Even after a nap I don't feel rested.】

Wulongcha doesn't understand that feeling, but respects it, 【Maybe you'll try a different way of living?】

【Not necessarily!】

The company's affairs are too busy! She was willful just for that day, but afterward she must obediently strategize at the company, striving for steady development.

Fortunately, thanks to her celebrity effect, her various companies are thriving. Soon her funds will recirculate. With more money, Su Yu can directly draw cards.

Using a Lucky Card to pray, perhaps she can return to her own world sooner.

After Su Yu had rested well, she naturally planned to go home. But as soon as she stepped out, she heard a voice.

"Are you reliable? She does have hacking skills!"

"What does hacking matter? Can she instantly appear before us? Ha, not to brag, but under absolute force, everything is…"

Two men were picking locks in the dim office desk.

Seeing them work without any light, they must be seasoned veterans.

"You're right, so surrender!"

What does it feel like to have two hollow wooden planks pressing on your head? The two men felt the blood in their whole bodies turn cold.

"You, how could you possibly…"

The lights flared on; at first the two men were too frightened by Su Yu to move, but when Su Yu used voice control to turn the lights on, they saw the thing on their heads and dared not move any further.

Help! Isn't this a business war? How did we end up on the wrong channel? They only have a little power, they can't go head‑to‑head with a gang boss! Both of them are a bit terrified! They're afraid that if Su Yu gets upset, she'll crush their brains! They don't want to die! They'd rather be in a cell eating prison food, at least they wouldn't die! "As you wished, I have appeared before you!"

The man speaking wishes he could smash his own crow‑mouth! Who would want this female death star to appear before them? He doesn't.

"Auntie, please, spare me!"

"I have elders above me and children below me; I can't have an accident!"

The two men howl in distress, but secretly make small moves, intending to counter Su Yu.

At the moment they stand up, the door is pushed open, a group of black‑clad bodyguards with dark, uneven weapons point at them, snuffing out the courage they had barely mustered! "You," "We"

In that instant the two fell into despair! If Su Yu were an official, it would be fine; if she were from the underworld, their families would be in danger! "Please, we surrender, we'll say anything!"

"It's my fault; whether you kill or maim me, I accept it. I beg you, spare my family!"

The two men cried, snot and tears streaming. They knew how ugly they looked! But they aren't some god‑defying handsome men, they have no means to win over witnesses. This kneeling begging has gotten them away many times!

Su Yu waved her hand, "Grab them, and question them thoroughly."

The well‑trained crowd immediately stepped forward and took the two away for "interrogation".

Following Su Yu, Luyingying looked worriedly at the yawning Su Yu, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just exhausted from overtime, sleepy."

Su Yu just wanted to go home and sleep, but ran into this mess.

"Weren't you sitting outside? How did someone get in without you knowing?"

"Right, we don't know; maybe there's a hidden door here?"

Su Yu frowned, "That shouldn't be; only I and my eldest uncle know about this."

There is indeed a hidden door here, but it requires a key or a code. Possessing either can open it. However, Su Xi changed the code, which means there must be a key—where did the key come from, and who knows this secret location!

Su Yu, sensing something off, immediately called Su Xi, "Eldest uncle, who did you tell about the office hidden door? Who has the key?"

"Only you."

Su Yu honestly recounted what had happened today.

"The higher‑ups haven't concluded the review yet, so I want to ask my eldest uncle whether there are any rivals? Or anyone who knows the hidden door and has a key."

Su Xi fell silent; there is no rival, but there is one subordinate.

He voiced his thoughts, and meanwhile the authorities are swiftly investigating who is coveting Su Yu's assets and how they bypassed security to enter her office.

Seeing the official stance, the two dared not resist. They clarified the matter, submitted evidence, and curled up in a corner, awaiting the final verdict! They can now forgo money!

All they need is to stay alive! To go out alive is to have endless hope! They were so cooperative that they even disclosed some preparations they had kept as trump cards!

Following the clues they provided, they quickly captured a person—the one Su Xi had named, the original installer of the hidden door.

At that time he had the key, and Su Xi was busy fighting with other company directors; later he heard the responsible person say the key was lost, and aside from tightening security, he did nothing more.

The authorities arrested the person and interrogated him again, but the result wasn't as good as the last time.

The person refused to cooperate!

No matter how the authorities asked, he stayed silent. When asked about the source of his wealth, he said nothing. When asked why he harmed others, he remained silent, as mute as a corpse.

Everyone knows he isn't dead and realizes he's deliberately stalling, perhaps to stay alive! Su Yu didn't wait in the office; she went home.

Ji Yan anxiously waited outside, watching the distant lights, feeling both hope and worry.

"Baby, you're back!"

Ji Yan anxiously watched the car stop as Su Yu stepped out. She inspected Su Yu from head to toe, left to right, and, seeing no injuries, felt relieved.

Feeling relaxed, she asked puzzledly, "Did that person say why they wanted to go after you?"

Su Yu shook her head, "No, they stayed silent, acting like an autistic child!"

Su Yu recounted the day's events in detail.

Ji Yan:!!! "Someone behind him? Could it be foreigners again?"

Su Yu shook her head, "His wife and children weren't sent abroad."

"That's really strange; who doesn't know your status, yet he harms you without leaving a way out?"

"Doing this, doesn't he worry about the Su family's retaliation?"

"Maybe he trusts my character? As long as his wife and children haven't committed heinous crimes, I indeed wouldn't do anything to them."

Under Ji Yan's gaze, Su Yu ate a huge spread and stuffed herself completely!

She strolled in the garden and casually asked Su Xi.

"Eldest uncle, what are you doing?"

"He's resting; he took your call, and the butler informed me."

Su Yu drooled with envy! Sleeping! She also wants to lie down and sleep anytime, anywhere, but that would ruin her status and image! "Later when we go back, I'll get a good sleep!"

"Okay!"

Ji Yan answered eagerly! The tasks looking for Su Yu will be postponed. Anyway those jobs aren't that important; Su Yu herself is the priority! After finishing her meal, Su Yu went to sleep, unaware of her mother's thoughts.

Early the next morning, Su Yu looked at Su Xi, also seated at the breakfast table, his head clouded.

"Eldest uncle, why so early?"

Since retiring, Su Xi has been very laid‑back and lazy. He doesn't get up before ten each morning. Even when awake, he lounges in his room and doesn't come out.

Seeing Su Xi at the table, Su Yu was shocked! She recalled she hadn't done anything wrong lately. Su Xi doesn't need to "teach" her, so he has no reason to get up so early.

"Not early, let's go together to see that person."

Su Xi wanted to know why the other side betrayed him. He thought all night but couldn't find a good reason. Need money? He gives money. Need a holiday? He gives it. Basic benefits? He provides them! With such generous terms, which company could match?

"Alright!"

Su Yu wolfed down a few bites, filled her stomach, and boarded the car with snacks.

Su Xi also got in the car, holding a cup of soy milk in one hand and a fried dough stick in the other, wanting to say that this might not be appropriate, but remembering that today he insisted on going and Su Yu had endured hardship to accompany him, he kept quiet. The two rode, soon arriving at the detention site.

Su Yu looked at the gaunt person opposite her, puzzled. From his appearance, he didn't at all look like an uncle who would steal company secrets.

Su Xi sat opposite, getting straight to the point, "Speak up, why did you do this? You truly have boundless prospects, yet you've ruined them yourself."

He knows too much; the superiors will surely give him generous treatment to placate him. Even if he can't match the executives, his value will still rise a notch! The man opposite stared blankly at Su Xi and Su Yu, seeming not to understand why they were together. "You two aren't as opposed as water and fire, are you?"

The man's off‑the‑cuff remark made Su Xi alert.

"How do you know our relationship is bad?"

The man's hand trembled; he seemed to have been deceived!

"What should we do?"

Su Yu believed that, being so clever, Su Xi must have already guessed.

Thanks to the darlings for casting their votes~
