255: Chapter 255: Becoming a Prisoner at the Foot of the Steps 255: Chapter 255: Becoming a Prisoner at the Foot of the Steps Jiang Feng was flooded with mixed emotions.
Although he had just watched a video of what had happened here, seeing it with his own eyes felt completely different.
The Young Madam really is surrounded by experts!
Lan Yan looks so delicate and weak, yet her explosive power is unexpectedly strong.
Who says women are inferior to men?
That’s just plain nonsense!
And there sat the Young Madam, watching from the sidelines…
It was hardly harmful, yet extremely insulting!
The moment Jiang Yan appeared, Situ Yuan was dumbfounded.
How did he manage to find this place?
At that moment, her mind went blank.
She even forgot that the only reason Su He was here was that she played along with her charade.
So, it was not surprising that Jiang Yan knew this location.
Jiang Yan’s deep eyes swept over her sharply, the intense pressure made her spine chill.
“What are you doing standing there?
Are you a lamp post?”
The man’s low and cool voice sounded.
Jiang Feng felt a shiver run down his back and quickly went to help.
Two minutes later.
Except for the bodyguard standing next to Situ Yuan, everyone else had been knocked down.
“Are you hurt?”
Jiang Yan stepped over the people on the ground and walked over to Su He, asking with concern.
Seeing the anxious and nervous look on his face, she shook her head: “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
She hadn’t moved a bit throughout the entire ordeal; Lan Yan had dealt with everything.
What could possibly happen to her?
Immediately, she stood up, her gaze shifting over to Situ Yuan, who stood disheveled in the breeze.
She took a few steps forward and then spoke: “It seems Ms.
Situ doesn’t understand me well.
Last time at the church, I told you never to provoke me.
I’m a person who always seeks revenge for grievances, no matter how small.”
“But today, it seems you didn’t take my words to heart, so you can’t blame me!”
Situ Yuan’s face was extremely unpleasant at this moment, her eyes filled with hatred and jealousy, like a scorpion gasping for breath under pressure.
In other words: Weak but loves to cause trouble!
Confronted with Su He’s words, Situ Yuan was speechless, as if someone had choked her.
“Lan Yan, tie Ms.
Situ up,” Su He commanded.
Lan Yan responded: “Alright, boss.”
Situ Yuan pointed at her furiously, saying: “Su He, you wouldn’t dare!”
“What wouldn’t I dare?
It’s not the first time.”
“You…”
“Ms.
Situ, it’s the survival of the fittest, you’ve already lost.”
“I have not lost!”
Su He looked at her with a mockingly warm smile, too lazy to argue.
The next second, Lan Yan knocked down the bodyguard next to her, swift and efficient in her movements.
Jiang Feng watched the scene dumbfoundedly, realizing he had no chance to show off his skills.
At this moment, he even doubted whether she was really a doctor…
How could her fighting skills be so good?
He said to Fei Xu beside him: “Fei Xu, who do you think is stronger, you or Dr.
Lan?”
Fei Xu glanced at him and honestly replied with two words: “Lan Yan.”
She wasn’t being modest; she was telling the truth.
Admitting that others are better than oneself isn’t hard.
“Don’t touch me!
Do you know who I am!”
Situ Yuan suddenly let out a piercing scream, furiously shouting.
Lan Yan didn’t care who she was and went straight for her.
In front of Lan Yan, Situ Yuan was nothing but a tiny bok choy, easily snapped with one hand.
At that moment, Jiang Feng picked up a hemp rope from the ground, walked over, and said with eager helpfulness: “Dr.
Lan, let me do the tying.”
Lan Yan didn’t stop him and let him fiddle around.
Situ Yuan’s face turned completely black, like a pufferfish being strangled by the neck.
“Su He, since you dare to tie me up a second time, I’m not done with you!
You’d better let me go right away, or the Situ Family won’t let you off the hook!”
Her eyes widened as she stared at Su He, wishing she could tear Su He to pieces.
And she believed that her grandfather would definitely stand by her side.
“Shut up!
You’re so noisy!” Lan Yan slapped the back of her head and spoke with disdain.
“Why are you so stubborn?
Even in this state, you’re still running your mouth.
Did your PE teacher teach your language classes in school?” Lan Yan said.
Su He wasn’t moved in the slightest by Situ Yuan’s anger and threats.
Su He retorted: “Are you sure Old Mr.
Situ will cover for a granddaughter who is a murderer?”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you, I’ve recorded everything you just said, and I believe your grandfather must have seen it by now.
His carefully nurtured granddaughter, in the end, commits such insane acts out of jealousy, showing a complete disregard for human life and morals.
Do you think he still has any expectations for you?”
“Besides, aren’t the ridiculous things you’ve done behind Old Mr.
Hong’s back numerous?
Do you really think you’ve covered them all up cleanly?”
Su He’s words made Situ Yuan’s body stiffen, and a flash of panic and fear appeared in her eyes.
The reason Situ Yuan could be so unscrupulous was that she knew she had the Situ Family’s backing, and especially a grandfather who indulged her.
But at the same time, she knew the limits of her grandfather, so whenever she acted, she would always avoid his bottom line.
If she couldn’t, she made sure to cover her tracks so that no one would notice.
“Boss, are we just handing her over to the police like this?” Lan Yan asked, puzzled.
Su He said: “Otherwise, what should we do, beat her up?”
Lan Yan said: “But isn’t that letting her off too easily?
What if the Situ Family comes to fish her out?”
“It won’t happen.
Situ Hong won’t fish her out.
The evidence is solidly laid out in front of us, and besides, I trust Old Mr.
Hong’s integrity.
For someone as proud as Situ Yuan, the most unbearable thing is to become a prisoner.
That’s the real heart-wrenching punishment,” Su He said.
After Situ Yuan was locked up, she kept shouting and screaming.
Due to the conclusive evidence, there was no need for interrogation, so the police skipped this step and directly locked her up.
“I want to see my lawyer!”
“Let me out, you dare to keep me locked up here, I think you’ve had enough of living!”
“Do you at least know who I am, huh?”
“Let me out quickly!”
“…”
People outside chose to turn a deaf ear to her words!
The Emperor’s transgressions are punished just like those of the common people, let alone she wasn’t an Emperor.
That evening, Situ Hong arrived at the police station with Si Jinchuan.
When Situ Yuan saw her grandfather, her eyes shone with golden light, as if she had seen her savior.
“Grandfather, get me out of here quickly, I can’t stay here another minute, there’s nothing here and the environment is awful.
Also, Grandfather, you must seek justice for me, they all bullied me, wronged me.
Especially that bitch Su He, she…”
Situ Hong interrupted her with a grave and stern expression: “Situ Yuan, even now, you still blame others for wronging you.
Do you think I’ve grown old and lost my mind, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, black and white?”
“Let me tell you, I am here today not to save you.
Since I can’t teach you, let the country’s law teach you how to behave!”
Situ Yuan heard this and completely panicked.
Is Grandfather planning to give up on her?
It shouldn’t be like this, why isn’t Grandfather taking her side?
“Grandfather, no…
It’s not like this, it’s all that bitch Su He’s fault, it has nothing to do with me.
I am your only granddaughter, I don’t want to go to jail, I don’t want to go to jail!”
Her emotions were too agitated, she tried to stand up, but the policemen standing by pressed down on her shoulders.
“Don’t move around, sit still!”
Situ Yuan cursed them back: “You’re all Su He’s lackeys, she’s the one who instructed you to mistreat me, I will file a complaint against you!”
The policeman frowned slightly and said sternly, “Madam, mind your language.
Insulting public officers carries legal responsibilities.”
Situ Hong watched her become so unreasonable, uttering nothing but unpleasant words, and was utterly disappointed.
He raised his hand to his chest and sighed deeply and helplessly in the end.
Now that she had become like this, he was also at fault, for he had been too indulgent with her before.
“Ah Chuan, let’s go!”
After saying this, Situ Hong turned around and left.
Situ Yuan’s expression froze, she watched in disbelief as her own grandfather left without looking back.
No matter how much she called after him, Situ Hong acted as if he hadn’t heard.
Now, she was thoroughly panicking, even filled with fear, a fear of the future began to grow in her heart.
She hurriedly looked at Si Jinchuan who was still standing there and said anxiously, “Jinchuan, have them let me out, please?
I don’t want to stay in this hellhole, go talk to Grandfather for me, I will listen to him from now on, I was just momentarily confused this time and did such a thing…”
Si Jinchuan looked at her with a dark gaze and said, “Xiao Yuan, you truly have touched Old Mr.
Situ’s raw nerve this time.
If you had only done something minor, the Old Master might still have helped you, but what you did has endangered someone else’s life.”
Situ Yuan stared at him, her eyes reddening and voice becoming sharp as she yelled, “You won’t help me either?
Don’t forget, I did this also for you, don’t you like that bitch Su He?”
Si Jinchuan’s brows furrowed, and his dark eyes gave a daunting glance.
Situ Yuan continued, “I kidnapped her to give to you, it was you who hesitated to act, so I helped you.”
Hearing her words, Si Jinchuan’s frown deepened.
The police at the side look at them back and forth but said nothing.
“Your Grandfather is right, you should just stay here and reform properly.”
Leaving this remark behind, Si Jinchuan also left without looking back.
In the police station lobby.
The housekeeper sat Situ Hong down in a chair and then asked, “Old Sir, are we really not going to take care of Miss?
Miss has never been in such an environment since she was little, what if she encounters something inside, with no one to help her.”
Situ Hong said sternly, “It’s precisely because she had too good of a life before that she became so arrogant and presumptuous!
Besides, what could possibly happen to her here?
They even provide food, drink, and shelter!”
The housekeeper didn’t know what to say in response.
At that moment, Si Jinchuan came over and said, “Old Mr.
Hong, I just discussed with the police, the situation is quite serious.
The car accident that night led to two immediate deaths, two more in the hospital didn’t make it, and six or seven others have severe injuries, they’re still undergoing treatment in the hospital.
The evidence for this case is incontrovertible, and they are preparing to transfer it to the judicial authorities now, so it’s impossible to bail Yuanyuan out.”
Situ Hong declared, “No one is to bail her out!”
Si Jinchuan looked at Situ Hong with a profound gaze; it seemed the Old Master had made up his mind not to save Situ Yuan.
…
“Young Madam, Master, Old Mr.
Situ is waiting in the hotel lobby at the moment,” Jiang Feng said as he entered.
Jiang Yan looked at Su He and said, “If you don’t want to see him, we don’t have to go.”
Su He raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Of course, we’ll see.
Why not?”
In the hotel lobby.
As soon as Su He appeared, Situ Hong stood up.
“Old Mr.
Hong, please sit, no need to stand up,” said Su He.
Situ Hong looked at her with a face full of guilt and said, “Su, it’s my fault for not raising Situ Yuan properly, causing her to do such an outrageous thing to you, I’m very sorry, and I also want to apologize to you on her behalf.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not begging for mercy.
If she has done wrong, she should bear the consequences.
Our Situ Family will not interfere in this matter.”
Despite Su He’s earlier speculations, she was still slightly shocked when she heard Situ Hong’s words, since Situ Yuan was his only granddaughter.
But she was no saint either; naturally, she could not be soft-hearted towards someone who wanted her dead.
Immediately, she replied in somewhat official language: “Old Mr.
Hong, I’ve handed this matter entirely over to the relevant authorities.
I believe they will deliver a fair judgment, which is also owed to those innocent people.”
The implication was clear: she was not going to intervene either.
Then, Situ Hong said, “Lin, bring out the item.”
Hearing this, the housekeeper took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying and placed it in front of Su He.
It was a stock transfer document.
Su He, puzzled, looked at Situ Hong opposite her and asked, “Old Mr.
Hong, what is this?”
The benevolent face of Situ Hong said, “This is compensation for you, one percent of the shares in Situ Group.”
Everyone present was stunned.
Was he really just giving it away?
Even Si Jinchuan had an incredulous look.
Those who knew Situ Hong were aware he would not easily give away shares in the company.
After all, Situ Group was a major publicly listed company, and one percent of its shares were worth a billion yuan.
Su He did not expect that Situ Hong would give shares of Situ Group to her, an outsider.
This was no longer just about money.
She declined, pushing the document back: “Old Mr.
Hong, I must decline this.”
Situ Hong smiled, “I know you don’t lack this money, but when I think about what that no-good granddaughter of mine did, I feel I owe you.
So please accept it, it will put an old man’s mind at ease.”
Su He wasn’t foolish.
She knew she couldn’t accept these shares, as their significance would change upon acceptance.
Even though she knew Old Mr.
Hong had no other intentions, others might interpret it differently.
She smiled: “Old Mr.
Hong, I appreciate your sentiment, but I must respectfully decline the shares.”
Seeing her so resolute, Situ Hong did not insist any further.
However, he took on the medical expenses for the victims, a gesture that Su He did not refuse.
…
Situ Yuan’s conviction was a certainty, as the evidence was irrefutable.
On another front, Qing Wu’s condition had stabilized, and Su He returned to Yue City three days later.
Upon her return, she went to see Su Tianyi to resign from the hospital job, as if she were to take over the research institute, she would almost have no time to return to the hospital for shifts.
“Have you decided?”
“Uncle, do I look like I’m joking?”
Su Tianyi sighed, “Wouldn’t it be better for you to come back and take over the hospital?”
Su He spoke frankly: “Uncle, I’m not cut out to be a hospital director.”
Su Tianyi: “But the director of the research institute is also a director.
Why can you be that then?”
He just didn’t want to let Su He go.
Su He bowed her head slightly and massaged her temples, “It’s different.”
Although she loved performing surgeries, she also enjoyed research; that was why she didn’t choose the hospital initially.
“Uncle, you can’t back out now, we had an agreement.” She added another sentence.
When she had returned earlier, she had made it clear that she wouldn’t be staying at the hospital long-term.
Su Tianyi deliberately changed the subject: “If you take over the research institute, then you’ll have to leave Yue City and go back to country F.
Does Ah Yan know?”
Su He: “…”
“I haven’t told him about this yet.”
“As someone who’s been there, I tell you, he definitely won’t agree.”
“…”
