66: Chapter 66 Seems to Have Calmed Down?

Su Lu blinked her eyes.

Despite being scared before, she had not shed a single tear, but now, with a blink, large drops of tears were cascading down.

The teardrops fell onto Bo Jingshen’s fingertips, and he couldn’t help but frown, dropping the crowbar and intending to wipe away her tears.

Still, his hand was covered in sticky blood.

The urgent sound of a car starting came from behind.

Seizing the moment Bo Jingshen was distracted, Zhang Yuanjun, limping, jumped into the car and drove away.

Su Lu stared fixedly at the blood on Bo Jingshen’s hands, her brows deeply furrowed.

She hurriedly pulled out some tissues and shoved them into his hand.

Bo Jingshen pinched the tissues with one hand and took out his phone with the other to dial a number.

He calmly reported a license plate number over the phone.

Even in his earlier state of rage, he had managed to memorize the number.

“Yes, this plate number, run a check.” Bo Jingshen’s voice was soft and calm, as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn’t the same person who was so enraged that he almost killed Zhang Yuanjun just moments before.

He calmly continued, “If the plate number yields no results, check the name Zhang Yuanjun.”

After hanging up the phone, Bo Jingshen leaned slightly, looking at Su Lu in the car.

“Feeling better?” he asked, worried she had been frightened, “Can you drive yourself back?”

After speaking, without waiting for Su Lu’s response, he knocked on the car door, “Never mind, you sit on the side.

I’ll drive.”

Su Lu sniffled, finally regaining some composure, “I can drive, you…

just get in.”

She thought better of it and then added, “Or do you want to drive your own car?”

Without saying a second word, Bo Jingshen got into the car.

Su Lu immediately started the car and drove off.

She had hesitated over whether to call the police, but then thought better of it, figuring Bo Jingshen would handle the situation.

The Gu Family lived in the suburbs, in a nice environment, but it was still some distance from the city center.

Su Lu, who always drove steadily, now couldn’t help but speed up.

With a grave expression, she drove with extreme focus.

Bo Jingshen glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and, for some reason, let out a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she was okay.

Fortunately…

it seemed she had cooled down.

Bo Jingshen knew Su Lu well; she was not one to get angry easily, but when she did, it wasn’t easy for her to calm down.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t get angry often that her anger lasted so long when she did.

He had obviously upset her earlier.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so worried about Su Lu withdrawing from the cooperation project and wouldn’t have given Cheng Yan an urgent order to sign the letter of intent overnight.

Halfway through the drive, Su Lu’s phone rang.

Her phone screen was already shattered; it was unclear whether it was just the protective film that was broken or if the screen was damaged too.

Su Lu had yet to change the saved name for Xue Xiaolan’s number in her phone.

It was still saved as ‘Mrs.

Gu’, the way it always had been.

She had no mother, and it was absolutely impossible for her to refer to Zhu Xinyan with such a term, so the name on the call was clear given the surname Gu.

Her phone was propped up on the car’s center console mount, and Bo Jingshen, seated in the passenger seat, could clearly see the screen.

Su Lu didn’t turn to look at his expression, but she could feel as though the atmosphere had changed somewhat.

So, Su Lu didn’t turn on the speakerphone.

Instead, she grabbed a Bluetooth earpiece, inserted it into her ear, and then answered the call.

Xue Xiaolan spoke with concern, “Xiaolu, are you okay?

Nothing happened, right?”

“No, nothing.” Su Lu replied briefly.

“That’s good, that’s good.

Uncle Zhang, when he was out patrolling, saw some broken car glass on the roadside – thought someone’s car got smashed.

As long as you’re okay, that’s good.

Come back soon, and let me know when you arrive, oh?

I’ve been worried.”

“Okay, I will.

I’m still driving, so I’ll hang up now.”

After the call ended, the car became very quiet.

The car left the expressway and entered the city.

It was then that Su Lu asked, “Should I take you to the hospital?”

She hadn’t looked closely at the wound on his hand and didn’t dare say whether it was serious or not.

But Su Lu felt that going to the hospital was definitely the safer option.

Bo Jingshen, however, shook his head in refusal, “No need, just take me home.”

As he spoke, he mentioned a residential complex name—a high-end area in Feng City, not far from Mingyang Avenue but also quite close to the new district.

The location was excellent, ranking within the top three of the best properties in Feng City in recent years.

It seemed Bo Jingshen’s home was there.

Su Lu, having grown up in Feng City, was fairly familiar with the area, so she drove straight to his residence.

When they entered the complex, he used his access card, which worked smoothly without a hitch.

Su Lu stopped the car in front of the building as per his instructions.

Bo Jingshen got out, and Su Lu really did intend to follow and go upstairs with him, to look at the wound on his hand, to help him with it.

But before she even had the chance to turn off the engine, she saw the person coming towards the building from behind.

It was Jing Ruo, the woman with an ambiguously close relationship with Bo Jingshen.

Su Lu was taken aback, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel.

She hadn’t expected…

that they were living together.

Bo Jingshen closed the passenger side door and noticed Su Lu’s lack of response, so he slightly bent down to look at her through the window, “Aren’t you coming up to sit for a bit?”

He even planned to walk around to the driver’s side to open the door for her.

Unexpectedly, Su Lu shook her head, “No, thank you.

Remember to have someone look at that wound when you get back.

I think it’s better to go get a tetanus shot tomorrow during the day.”

Her voice was eerily calm, the calmer it was, the more unfathomable it became.

Su Lu shifted into reverse, “Then I’ll be leaving now.”

After backing up the car and creating some distance from him, she quickly spun the wheel to turn around and drive away.

Bo Jingshen stood in place, disbelief in his gaze.

Soon, he heard a slightly surprised female voice from behind, “Oh?

You’re back?”

Bo Jingshen frowned and turned around to see Jing Ruo walking up behind him, looking at the game disc and a bag of snacks in her hand, and her casual homely attire.

Bo Jingshen felt a twinge of pain in his temples.

Jing Ruo was used to his cold demeanor, but upon seeing the blood on his hand, she was still shocked, “What happened to your hand?”

“It’s none of your business.” Bo Jingshen dismissed the injury on his hand as if it was commonplace to him.

Yet Jing Ruo couldn’t help but frown, the girl, who always faced Bo Jingshen’s coldness without such serious concern before, was now all seriousness, “Is it because someone’s been troubling you again?

Is it because he had someone…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when Bo Jingshen interrupted her, “It’s not that, stop guessing.”

Rarely, his voice and expression were not so cold towards Jing Ruo.

However, this lack of coldness didn’t last long.

As Jing Ruo said, “I’ll bandage it for you in a bit.”

And then followed him into the building lobby, Bo Jingshen turned his head and frowned, “When are you going to leave?

Is this place some kind of shelter?”
