Chapter 49: Do You Know How Precious My Wife’s Legs Are?

Su Yiren sighed helplessly, not wanting to argue with her about this anymore.

At least she would go to the ancestral home for a few days before attending the art exhibition.

Anyway, Lu Yunting rarely went there, and he didn’t like her anyway. Now that he knew she was recuperating at the ancestral home, he should be even less likely to go.

Jiang Jinyun was happy to see her acquiescence.

She instructed the caregiver to help Su Yiren wash up and change clothes, while she drove Lu Yunting and Zhou Tong out to the outer room, and specifically told Lu Yunting，

“You stay here tonight and don’t leave, understand?”

“I didn’t plan on leaving anyway.” Lu Yunting said bluntly.

Jiang Jinyun thought it was rare, and was about to praise him for finally knowing how to cherish his wife, but then this unfilial son said:

“This is my hospital, I can be wherever I want.”

Jiang Jinyun closed the door expressionlessly, not wanting to deal with him anymore.

Lu Yunting walked to the sofa and sat down, gesturing for Zhou Tong to sit down as well, and said in a deep voice:

“Go check, when did Su Yiren get a concussion?”

Zhou Tong was stunned, “Concussion? The Madam?”

Lu Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly, “She just said it herself.”

Zhou Tong immediately agreed.

“Oh, right,” he remembered something and said,

“The venue manager is here, he brought a lot of gifts, saying he wanted to visit the Madam. I told him to wait outside.”

“Let him in.” Lu Yunting closed his eyes and pressed his temples wearily.

Manager Chen, accompanied by two staff members, walked in with bags and bags of gifts.

As soon as he saw Lu Yunting，he kept apologizing and inquired about Su Yiren’s condition.

Lu Yunting leaned back on the sofa and asked instead of answering:

“Have you found the reason for the power outage?”

Manager Chen quickly replied: “Someone tampered with the distribution box.”

Lu Yunting immediately turned his head to look, “Who did it?”

“I don’t know,” Manager Chen said nervously:

“This person must be very familiar with the venue, he almost avoided all the cameras, only his figure was found near the distribution box, and he disappeared in a flash.”

“Is this how you do security work?” Lu Yunting sneered,

“You don’t even know if that person was the one who pulled the power switch, you bunch of fools.”

Manager Chen repeatedly agreed, his attitude very humble.

There was no way, they were at fault in this matter, and it was no wonder Lu Yunting blamed him.

“First figure out why he cut the power,” Lu Yunting pondered,

“Did anything get lost from today’s auction?”

“No no! All the auction items have been returned to the buyers, nothing is missing!”

“Then what was he trying to do by cutting the power?”

Lu Yunting was a little puzzled, he didn’t understand the connection between this incident and Su Yiren’s fall.

Logically speaking, even if the power went out, the other party couldn’t have predicted that Su Yiren would definitely take the stairs, right?

Even if she took the stairs, she wouldn’t necessarily fall, right?

It all seemed like a coincidence, but it felt wrong somewhere.

Seeing that Lu Yunting was no longer asking, Manager Chen winked at his subordinate, who immediately handed over a check, placing it respectfully on the coffee table in front of Lu Yunting.

Manager Chen smiled ingratiatingly:

“Mr. Lu, a little token of our appreciation, please accept it! We don’t know the Madam’s tastes very well, so we can only trouble you to buy her some supplements or something.”

Lu Yunting glanced at the box after box of supplements they had just brought, which almost filled one wall, and then his gaze fell on the huge check, he raised his eyebrows,

“Mr. Chen is too polite, this money is enough for her to eat supplements for a lifetime, right?”

Manager Chen smiled awkwardly, but thought to himself: As long as we don’t offend Lu Yunting，we’d rather add another check.

But Lu Yunting changed his tone, his voice arrogant,

“However, do you know how precious my wife’s legs are? Those are the legs that have performed at the Berlin Philharmonic, this little money is far from enough.”

Zhou Tong, standing behind him, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself:

It seems like… you just didn’t believe it.

Even though he said that, Lu Yunting didn’t make things difficult for Manager Chen, after all, this matter didn’t have much to do with him either.

After he left, Zhou Tong immediately reported to Lu Yunting:

“Do you remember when you were hospitalized in Rongcheng, there was a Su Shi Group employee who was always helping out?”

Lu Yunting had some impression, that person was arranged by Su Yiren.

She didn’t go to the hospital with the ambulance herself, but instead sent a small soldier to deceive him.

“What happened to him?”

“It’s like this, I added him on WeChat at the time, and I asked him about the Madam’s concussion.”

Zhou Tong told Lu Yunting everything he had found out,

“That night, after the Madam left the hospital, she was involved in a series of car accidents. Fortunately, it wasn’t too serious, she just stayed in the hospital for observation for two days before being discharged. She didn’t go to the company for those few days, and several department managers knew about it.”

Lu Yunting pondered for a moment before remembering something and asked:

“So that’s why she didn’t go to the Civil Affairs Bureau that day?”

“Yes, that’s the day.”

Knowing the reason why she stood him up, Lu Yunting’s mood improved slightly, but he still said arrogantly:

“Who told her to take a taxi back in the middle of the night? If she had stayed at the hospital for the night, she wouldn’t have gotten into a car accident?”

Zhou Tong pursed his lips, hesitating whether to tell him the truth that day.

But he was afraid of hurting Lu Yunting，so he didn’t dare to say it.

As if sensing his strangeness, Lu Yunting frowned and said:

“Spit it out.”

“Uh…” Zhou Tong could only grit his teeth and say softly:

“Actually, that night, the Madam wanted to take care of you, she even let me go to rest. But…”

“But what?”

Zhou Tong touched his nose, his voice getting even smaller,

“You kept calling other women’s names in your sleep.”

“Nonsense!” Lu Yunting immediately got angry,

“How could I do such a stupid thing!”

Zhou Tong was sweating, why was he scolding himself?

“But you did call, you called two or three times!” Zhou Tong mumbled softly,

“The Madam heard it, so she got angry and left.”

Lu Yunting fell silent, he couldn’t believe that he would call a woman’s name in his sleep?

Which woman could be so important to him?

He coughed dryly and asked uncomfortably:

“Who?”

“Huh? What?” Zhou Tong blinked, not knowing what he was talking about.

Lu Yunting’s face was ugly, his voice raised a little:

“Who was I calling that day!”

“Oh oh!” Zhou Tong quickly said:

“It sounded like Shanshan, but also like Sasha.”

“Impossible!” Lu Yunting directly denied,

“I don’t know anyone named Shanshan! Sasha is even more impossible, why would I call her?”

Zhou Tong didn’t answer, thinking to himself, whether you know her or not, you called her; whether you’re happy or not now, your wife was pretty unhappy then.

From the inner room, there were faint sounds of laughter from Jiang Jinyun and Su Yiren, it seemed that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were getting along well.

Lu Yunting took a deep breath, the tangled mess in his heart seemed to find a clue, allowing him to pull it out.

“It seems I was wrong about her.” He said softly.

He waited at the Civil Affairs Bureau for a whole day, thinking that Su Yiren had deliberately stood him up, but he didn’t know she was lying in the hospital.

He seemed to have said some irrational things at the time, thinking about it now, he felt a little regretful.

So, Lu Yunting decided to explain himself to Su Yiren.

But thinking about how they would always argue whenever they spoke these days, he didn’t want to take the initiative to touch a sore spot, so he opened WeChat and prepared to send her a message.

But he searched through his contacts and couldn’t find Su Yiren.

“Where did she go?” He muttered softly.

He had made a note for Su Yiren before, no matter if she changed her profile picture or changed her nickname, he couldn’t possibly lose her.

The only reason was…

Zhou Tong cautiously poked at his sore spot:

“Maybe… she blocked you.”

Lu Yunting quickly glanced at him, snorted coldly:

“She’s got guts.”

He felt a ball of anger in his chest, but he couldn’t find an outlet, and he didn’t want to go in and argue with her again, so he arrogantly said:

“Delete it then, I don’t want to talk to her anyway!”

Lu Yunting closed his eyes, took a deep breath, but his jawline was tight.

Late at night.

Su Yiren opened her laptop, skillfully typed in a series of codes, and the screen immediately displayed the scene of the auction.

She silently hacked into the control room system.

As Manager Chen said, the man who cut the power was very cunning, he almost avoided all the surveillance cameras.

The only surveillance device that captured his figure only stayed for two seconds.

Although it was just a flash, Su Yiren still recognized it:

The man in the surveillance footage was the one who pushed her down the stairs.

She rested her chin on her hand, looking at the man whose face was mostly covered by a hat, and took a screenshot.

She sent the photo to a number,

“Help me compare it to the database, see if there is this person.”

However, she was puzzled by one thing, this man didn’t try to hurt her severely, it seemed like he just wanted to teach her a lesson.

Otherwise, in that dark environment, if he had stabbed her, she wouldn’t have survived for ten minutes.

The door creaked open.

Su Yiren quickly exited the operation interface, the screen turned into a romantic drama.

The person who came in was Lu Yunting.

He thought Su Yiren was already asleep, so he walked in out of the blue to see how she was doing.

Now that they were face to face, they were both a little embarrassed.

Su Yiren was the first to ask:

“Something wrong?”

Lu Yunting hesitated for a moment, awkwardly asked her:

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I can’t sleep, I’m watching a drama.” Su Yiren casually lied, but saw Lu Yunting frown,

“It’s almost 12 o’clock, go to sleep.” He said and turned around to leave.

Su Yiren blinked curiously, so what was he doing coming in so late?

Just to remind her to go to sleep?
