He hated Long Shuli!
Why did she, even in death, act like a mirror, revealing his utter incompetence?
Su Yingxue waited for two more days, yet Chu Chengye still hadnât come to see her. However, news arrived from the prison.
Zi Wei returned with the information. âThat person had recovered.â
âHis legs and bones had fully healed?â Su Yingxueâs face reflected incredulity.
âHe could stand already.â Zi Weiâs voice was hoarse.
âThis was truly unimaginable.â Su Yingxue looked astonished. The bloodline of the Great Wei Dynasty stirred her intense curiosity. She genuinely wanted to bring that man to the clinic and study him.
However, Zi Wei also brought unwelcome news. âThe people from the clinic were tortured.â
âWho? Was it Chu Chengyeâs doing?â Su Yingxueâs heart tightened.
âYes, Manager Qi,â Zi Wei replied.
His words were concise, but Su Yingxue could sense that Manager Qi, overseeing the clinic, would always be at the forefront, no matter the situation. Naturally, he would bear the brunt of torture.
But being a middle-aged man, he couldnât endure for long.
She couldnât afford to sit back and do nothing.
After some consideration, the only way to stop Chu Chengye from using torture was to compel him to hold a trial first. Moreover, the man from the Great Wei Dynasty had already recovered. If she ensured his presence at the court, Chu Chengye wouldnât dare unjustly kill him.
Su Yingxue instructed Zi Wei to go back and protect the Great Wei Dynasty man. She couldnât allow Chu Chengye to kill him.
She was there to force Chu Chengye to convene a trial!
âMiss, the Seventh Princeâs methods were swift and fierce. How do we save Manager Qi?â Zhilan asked, worried.
âHead to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion. Request Sister Jinyan to disseminate the news that Chu Chengye captured and tortured the clinic staff. 1â11 visit the Ninth Princeâs bookstore to seek his assistance in spreading this information. Public rumors will compel Chu Chengye to hold a trial!â
Otherwise, if he lost the publicâs favor, he could forget about the throne!
After giving her orders, Su Yingxue immediately split up with Zhilan. She headed to Chu Jinlingâs bookstore, intending to find a manager to delegate the task. Unexpectedly, Chu Jinling was there, and upon hearing Su Yingxueâs words, he immediately said, âIâll handle this. But Auntie, 1 need your help.â âWhat help?â Su Yingxue tilted her head.
Chu Jinlingâs fair face showed concern. âSisi had been staying upstairs for a long time. She didnât want to go home or see anyone. Please go and talk to her.â Su Yingxue nodded and went to the third floor. There was a door with an exquisite lock at the stairwell. She used the key given by Chu Jinling to open it.
However, before entering, she heard Lin Sisiâs frightened voice, âYouâre not Jinling. Who are you? Donât come in!â
Her voice trembled, lacking the former confidence.
âSisi, donât be afraid. Itâs me.â Su Yingxue stepped in, feeling guilty.
âDr. Su?â Lin Sisiâs voice held a hint of surprise.
But she didnât immediately show herself. Instead, she remained behind the bookcase and said softly, âDid Jinling send you to accompany me? I⦠Iâm fine.â âIf youâre fine, why donât you go home? Why donât you see anyone? Why are you hiding in the dark? Why donât you even see me?â Su Yingxueâs tone was filled with concern.
When she first met Lin Sisi, she also had flaws on her face, but she was arrogant and willful.
Now that her appearance was ruined and she was hiding, she looked like a little kitten who was seriously injured and only dared to lie in the dark and lick her wounds. It was unbearable..
