Chapter 552: with translation of chapter title

"Okay."

"How could Su Manyao not feel Jiang Cheng's kindness toward himself?"

"Recently, Jiang Cheng has been working hard."

"Because he's been handling these matters, he doesn't have much time left to think about irrelevant things."

"So—"

"He let out a deep sigh of relief."

"Right now, Su Manyao's eyes filled with distress: 'These past days have really been hard on you!'"

"In the future, no matter what happens, I will stay by your side without hesitation. If you need my help, just tell me. In short, I can't bear to watch you busy all day alone dealing with these things. Did you hear me?"

"Looking at the person before him, he spoke earnestly."

"Mainly."

"He didn't want to watch Jiang Cheng busy alone with these matters."

"Thus."

"He said many things."

"Jiang Cheng laughed and cried at once."

"'Of course!'"

"'If there really is something later that I need your help with, I will definitely ask you. Is that okay?'"

"'Okay!'"

"In the following period, Lin Feng's behavior seemed to be gradually exposed."

"At first, he was very arrogant."

"Even in private, he did many disgusting things."

"But this person—"

"yet showed no intention of restraining himself!"

"So far, he has done many particularly unlucky actions."

"He thought he could hide what he did, but he didn't realize those deeds had already been discovered."

"Especially at Lan Xinghe's place, after their recent investigation, the moment he learned the truth, his face turned grim."

"'You mean… all the things I've experienced lately were secretly caused by Lin Feng?'"

"'That's about right!'"

"'According to our investigation, Lin Feng did many things in private, most of which were just fooling us like idiots.'"

"'Moreover, his behavior was especially vile, and we saw that lately he seemed to be on especially good terms with Jiang Cheng, often chatting and laughing.'"

"'But as for what exactly they said to each other, we… currently don't really know!'"

"'But just from what Lin Feng has done so far, something's definitely off!'"

"His subordinate added: 'We still need to investigate this matter; in about two or three days we should have results.'"

"'Lao ban, we will surely get to the bottom of this, but— we really do need a bit more time right now!'"

"He explained."

"He knew how serious and disgusting this matter was."

"But—"

"He hoped Lao ban would bear with it."

"But Lao ban couldn't bear it in his presence."

"'That damn bastard actually dared to fool me so casually?'"

"'And did he take me for a fool? I trusted him so much, yet all the evidence you've gathered is so unfavorable to me.'"

"His mindset collapsed in an instant."

"He never imagined there was another hidden side to this."

"In an instant."

"He remained silent."

"He said: 'My trust has been ruthlessly trampled underfoot by the other party.'"

"'Even in the end, it became a complete mess.'"

"He gave a bitter smile."

"He never imagined he would one day become like this."

"He longed to become better."

"But—"

"How did it end up like this?"

"He couldn't understand; even his mindset collapsed at this moment."
