Chapter 13: His Life or Death Has Nothing to Do With Me

Su Yiren was startled and subconsciously retorted,

“Who would care about him? His life or death has nothing to do with me.”

Seeing her lips tightly pressed together and her eyes filled with resistance, Si Hong stopped asking and only talked to her about Wang Meng.

“Su Changhua has also found someone to help, hoping that he won’t be convicted of intentional injury. If it doesn’t constitute minor injury, it might just be a public security punishment.”

Su Yiren immediately became anxious, “Isn’t this intentional injury? He had a knife, it’s obvious he wanted to kill me! I think he could be convicted of attempted murder!”

Si Hong explained, “There are sentencing standards for how crimes are convicted. We can only try to give him a heavier sentence within the relative scope.”

Although Su Yiren was dissatisfied, she still agreed with his explanation.

Si Hong continued, “But I just contacted the hospital and they said that Lu Yunting’s injuries were serious, he injured an artery. Wang Meng also carried a controlled knife, so it’s possible to convict him of intentional injury, he’ll at least spend half a year in jail.”

Su Yiren almost didn’t hear the latter half of the sentence, only the words “injured an artery” remained in her ears.

Suddenly, the image of Lu Yunting’s pale face and the blood dripping from his wound appeared in her mind, and her heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

“No wonder he bled so much…” she muttered, her voice unconsciously tinged with anger,

“He cut someone so badly, how can he just spend half a year in jail?”

Seeing Si Hong looking at her with deep eyes, Su Yiren immediately changed the subject, asking,

“Has Su Changhua contacted you?”

“No,” Si Hong shook his head, “He definitely doesn’t want to bow his head and admit his mistake. Besides, he’s been secretly negotiating with other high-level executives these past two days, trying to target you collectively.”

Su Yiren’s eyes turned cold,

“Okay, then let’s handle it officially! Once his wife’s precious nephew is sent in, let’s see how he can still be arrogant!”

Si Hong pondered for a moment and said,

“But… maybe he’ll go to Lu Yunting to settle it.”

“How is that possible? Is Lu Yunting an idiot?” Su Yiren felt surprised,

“Lu Yunting is such a heartless person, he wouldn’t settle it with him!”

After saying this, Su Yiren realized that her tone was too hasty. She subconsciously glanced at Si Hong, seeing that he was calm, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s really a case of concern causing confusion. Even though she had already seen through his heart and understood that there was no possibility for them anymore, she couldn’t help but feel anxious, flustered, and worried for him.

After all, they had loved each other, how could they just forget it?

Everything needs time to heal.

Both the wounds and the feelings.

Si Hong pushed up his glasses, “You never know. I heard that Su Changhua is buying a piece of land from Lu Corporation.”

Su Yiren was curious, “I haven’t heard of this, what do you mean?”

Si Hong, “After Lu Corporation bought this piece of land, they haven’t started construction and it’s been left idle. Su Changhua somehow got internal information, saying that a highway will be built nearby and he wants to build a resort. Since last year, he’s been negotiating with Lu Corporation to buy this piece of land, but Lu Yunting has never agreed, I don’t know why.”

Su Yiren opened her phone map and looked at the location Si Hong pointed out. There were no buildings for tens of kilometers nearby. If they weren’t going to build a highway, there really wasn’t any development potential.

“So, is it possible that Su Changhua is willing to pay a high price for the land just to let Lu Yunting let his nephew off the hook?”

Si Hong nodded, “It’s not impossible.”

Indeed, if the victim agrees to settle it themselves, it would be very beneficial to Wang Meng.

Si Hong, “At this time, it depends on how Lu Yunting decides. Will he choose to make a profit regardless of his injuries and settle with Su Changhua? Or will he choose to punish the culprit and give up selling this useless piece of land?”

Su Yiren snorted, “He will definitely settle with Su Changhua, taking advantage of the sale of this land to ask for a huge sum! That’s just how greedy he is.”

Otherwise, how could he choose to lower himself and ask her to renew the contract for a few billion in compensation?

“Then what should we do?”

Si Hong thought for a moment, “Why don’t you go talk to him?”

Su Yiren smiled self-deprecatingly, “He wouldn’t listen to me.”

“He might not listen to you, but he definitely wants to renew the contract with Susan smoothly.” Si Hong analyzed incisively, the light behind his glasses seemed to see through everything.

Su Yiren paused.

If she went to negotiate with Lu Yunting in the name of Susan, it might actually be possible to change his mind.

However, should she use this bargaining chip to exchange for the opportunity to strike a blow against Su Changhua?

She had just returned to Su Corporation, even though she had absolute control and could make any decisions in the company, if this group of high-level executives were instigated by Su Changhua and collectively opposed her, she would also have a headache.

Although she could replace all the executives in Su Corporation from top to bottom, and she was already pushing forward step by step, if she was too hasty, it would also backfire.

For now, she could only suppress the Su Changhua brothers and appease the other high-level executives, temporarily controlling the chaotic situation.

Furthermore, Wang Meng was a hidden danger. If he wasn’t given a lesson this time, he might do something even more extreme.

Su Yiren made up her mind and went to the hospital with Si Hong, intending to talk to Lu Yunting.

Meanwhile, Lu Yunting’s anesthesia had just worn off, and his arm ached like hell.

Seeing the boss lying there with pale lips and weak energy, Zhou Tong felt both anxious and distressed. He couldn’t help but mutter softly,

“We have our own private hospital, and I’ve contacted the doctors. Why did you have to stay in this small, broken hospital? If the madam knew, she would scold me to death!”

Lu Yunting listened to his nagging and felt his arm hurt even more. He said in a low voice,

“The doctor said I’m not suitable for long-distance travel now.”

“It’s only two hundred kilometers from Jiangcheng!” Zhou Tong retorted,

“Uncle Hao drives steadily! Besides, we can also take an ambulance back, the doctor can take care of you on the way.”

Lu Yunting was increasingly annoyed and didn’t want to talk to him anymore. He turned his head to look out the window.

It was late summer, no longer as scorching as midsummer. The wind blowing in carried a hint of coolness.

But Lu Yunting still felt restless and uneasy, the throbbing pain in his arm made him uneasy,

“By the way, what exactly does that bastard do? Have you found out?”

Zhou Tong stopped nagging and immediately answered,

“I asked the employee who brought you to the hospital. The one who stabbed you is called Wang Meng, he was the former manager of Su Corporation’s clothing factory.”

“Former manager?”

“Yes, he was just fired by the madam.”

Lu Yunting recalled Su Yiren’s previous gentle and harmless appearance. He didn’t expect her to actually fire someone, and he was a little surprised.

“So he retaliated?”

Zhou Tong nodded, “Yes, I heard that this guy’s reputation isn’t very good. Not only was he lazy at work, but he also embezzled money and mistreated employees. He’s done a lot of evil things over the years. I heard he was arrested, and the employee group is celebrating by relaying messages. Oh, right, there’s also…”

Zhou Tong told Lu Yunting everything he had heard,

“This Wang Meng is the madam’s second aunt’s nephew.”

“He’s a relative too?” Lu Yunting chuckled, it was really messy.

“But their relationship isn’t good. I heard that this second uncle doesn’t support the madam in the company and is secretly undermining her.”

Lu Yunting listened and raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t react.

After a while, he suddenly asked,

“Is there a familiar person in the Rongcheng court?”

Zhou Tong quickly searched his memory and nodded,

“Yes! He wanted to invite you to dinner at the beginning of the year, but you were too busy at the time and didn’t have time to meet, so you declined.”

Lu Yunting rubbed his ring finger, where a wedding ring was still worn.

“Contact him after I’m discharged from the hospital, let’s meet.”
