Chapter 48: Dong

Su Yu and Wulongcha racked their brains to find a pretext suitable for Su Yu's identity that would let Su Xi dismiss the reason for going to Pingjiang to inspect the land.

Su Xi answered a phone call.

"You're still messing around, don't you want a body anymore?"

Not knowing what was said on the other end, Su Xi was very angry.

"Don't you want the heir's position anymore? Your family's old man just brought back an illegitimate child!"

Su Xi originally wasn't clear about this matter either. But thanks to Ding An's daughter, many high‑society ladies don't need agencies; relying on their own influence, they easily fished out their husbands' mistresses from among people who went for HIV tests.

Some of those mistresses even overlapped!

The whole circle was in chaos, and far fewer people were watching the Su Family's drama.

Zhu Xueheng's mother also uncovered his father's mistress and the son she bore.

The playboy Zhu Xueheng didn't know where he had gone and gave no reaction at all. If he returned any later, his father would be carrying the illegitimate child on a sedan chair and holding a recognition banquet.

【Heir, illegitimate child? Is it Zhu Xueheng? A friend of the elder uncle!】

"Zhu Xueheng, are you actually coming back or not?"

While saying that, Su Xi pretended to be angry, tossed the phone, and turned on speakerphone!

On the other end, Zhu Xueheng was silent for a moment, then cheerfully said, "Being a father is a whole different ballgame, huh! You're already worrying about me? Rest assured, rest assured, the old man can't touch me!"

You randomly brought up a three‑year‑old kid; the old man was vasectomized yet still managed to produce a kid, I'm too excited!

"I'll have a cigarette first to calm down!"

【You think about having a cigarette to calm down, but you don't know the gas has already leaked; an explosion awaits you! Boom!】

Su Yu thought, should she remind Zhu Xueheng?

"Get back and calm down! Now, immediately, right now, drive back!"

Su Xi's voice was harsher than ever, not only making Zhu Xueheng's hands shake and dropping the cigarette he had just taken out, but also startling Su Yu.

【What's up? Why is the elder uncle so fierce? He scared me to death!】

Su Yu was so frightened that her small body trembled.

【Whew, luckily I'm not working under the elder uncle! If I made a mistake and got scolded like this, I'd cry.】

Su Xi thought quickly, "If you don't put down that cigarette, come to the Su Clan Group, and I'll leak the nude photos you mistakenly sent me!"

Zhu Xueheng widened his eyes and hurriedly shoved the cigarette back into his pocket.

"No, brother, you're my real brother! Don't act like that! Did you install a surveillance device on me?"

How did he know she had taken out the cigarette? If Su Xi really leaked the nude photos, he'd become a joke in the circle and be mocked for life!

Su Xi probably didn't want to get tangled in an ambiguous relationship with him, right?

But Su Xi can be crazy at times, and Zhu Xueheng wouldn't dare gamble! The biggest victim would be him! Su Xi already has a child.

"Get back quickly! Otherwise…"

Su Xi's words were full of threats.

A gas explosion would definitely mean a massive leak. He didn't know the exact situation over there, so he could only protect Zhu Xueheng first, then have someone conceal their identity to report it.

Zhu Xueheng whispered softly, fearing that if his voice rose, Su Xi would think he was unwilling.

"Alright, alright, alright! I'm going back! Brother, don't act rashly! We won't go that far!"

【Whoa! You actually sent nude photos to a brother! You really aren't discreet, brother!】

"Xiao Chang, my brother is looking for me, I'm heading back!"

Zhu Xueheng knocked on the door, finished speaking and prepared to leave.

He suddenly twitched his nose, wondering why the gas smell was so strong.

"Xiao Chang!"

"Someone, come quickly!"

"Gas leak!"

Zhu Xueheng kicked the iron door hard!

He hurriedly dialed 119 and 120. After those two, he quickly called 110 as well.

The surrounding neighbors, hearing about the gas leak, mostly ran outside. Seeing no one help him, Zhu Xueheng shouted urgently.

"Rescue people quickly!"

"Give me a tool!"

Zhu Xueheng didn't know why, after he had just stepped out, the door became dead‑locked! He frantically twisted the key, but couldn't open it!

What on earth happened to Xiao Chang? They had just been fine, discussing leaving together!

A young man a short distance away carried a massive log, shouting, "I'm coming!", and rushed toward them; Zhu Xueheng kept thanking him.

"Thank you!"

"Please hurry, my girlfriend is still inside!"

The young man didn't have time to nod; he surged forward, only managing to shift the log onto his shoulder, and the wood thudded with a huge "dong"!

"Boom!"

The log slammed into the adjacent wall, and the wall crumbled with a rattling sound.

Zhu Xueheng felt a gust sweep by, covering his face with a layer of ash.

The young man trembled his lips, not having time to consider whether his possessions could cover the repair cost for that wall, he locked eyes with a naked man.

The young man, like a malfunctioning robot, turned his head stiffly toward Zhu Xueheng, then turned again toward the naked man inside.

His girlfriend? The naked man?

Is he still half‑asleep, dreaming?

People were rescued, but it might be broken now; does he still have to pay for the wall?

He just came to save someone…

Zhu Xueheng was only briefly stunned for a moment, and couldn't think about why another naked man appeared in his girlfriend's house. He rushed in, pulled out a woman wrapped in a sheet, and shouted while charging, "Ambulance!"

"Hurry and call an ambulance!"

"Doctor!"

The young guy gritted his teeth, used all his strength to swing the big log on his shoulder horizontally, pinning the stunned man beneath the wood.

"You thief, don't move! You think you can kill us all, not a chance!"

No matter who pays, just make sure it isn't him!

Or this thief has a bad reputation—who let him show up in the girlfriend's house?

Seeing the crisis resolved, the crowd ran back one after another, using various styles of wooden sticks to "lock" that man.

The man, after regaining his senses, struggled desperately.

"Let go of me!"

"I'm not a thief!"

"You're the thieves! Breaking into my home!"

The people who acted didn't believe it! Whose family would open the gas at home? They can all smell the gas now!

If they spark a flame, the whole area will explode!

Many people's children are at home!

The crowd voluntarily trapped the man, then fetched rope to cordon off the "crime scene", waiting for the police to arrest him.

…

Su Xi waited and waited, but Zhu Xueheng never showed up, so they simply took Su Yu and had Qin Tao drive; they went together to look for Zhu Xueheng.

Su Xi felt relieved; Zhu Xueheng had previously told him the location.

"Uncle, shall we go find that uncle who called?"

Su Yu saw Su Xi's solemn expression and found it a bit odd, 【It's just that he didn't come; is it necessary to be so serious? Making it seem like a life‑or‑death separation.】

"Hmm, he's one of the few conscientious friends I have. In the past, whenever I threatened him, he wouldn't dare not come. If he doesn't come, there's a high chance something's happened."

"Oh, Uncle, don't worry!"

【Even if there's a gas explosion, people won't die; at most they'll be disfigured.】

Su Yu stared intently at Su Xi's expression, but Su Xi's face showed no relaxation, still solemn.

【Sigh, system, why have I been so paranoid lately?】

Wulongcha collapsed onto Su Yu's head, 【You ask me, who should I answer? Why not get Psychological Counseling? Your home has a pile of Doctors; even if you don't see a Doctor, the family still has to spend money on them. Not seeing is just wasteful.】

Su Yu hesitated for a few seconds, 【Better not, it feels weird.】

She was a bit worried that she might reveal the system's matters. It's better not to see a Doctor, maybe she's overthinking after changing environments.

"Ring~"

When the phone rang the first time, Su Xi opened the phone he had been holding in his hand.

Today's update~

Just remembered today is Valentine's Day, wishing everyone a happy holiday!

Enjoy the holiday happily (^o^)
