206: Chapter 206: Su He’s Reversal 206: Chapter 206: Su He’s Reversal Rooftop.
“Su He, what gives you the right to tie me up?”
Situ Yuan glared at Su He, furiously confronting her.
Ten minutes ago, Situ Yuan suddenly appeared on the rooftop with a few bodyguards.
Seeing her, Su He was slightly surprised.
But it was only for a few seconds.
The next second, without a word, Situ Yuan ordered her men to take action.
Her temperament felt somewhat familiar to Su He, quite like her own; act first, talk later.
But this direct and unreasonable action didn’t align with her principles.
First and foremost, she had never offended this young lady.
Su He stood in front of her, arms crossed, and lazily responded: “Ms.
Situ, I think that’s the question I should be asking you.”
“You come looking for me out of nowhere and without saying anything, you just start a fight.
Even police show a reason when they arrest someone; what’s your reason?”
Situ Yuan arrogantly retorted: “In Country X, the Situ Family doesn’t need a reason to act, and I, Situ Yuan, don’t need to waste words on you.
Su He, I warn you, you’d better let me go right now, the consequences are not something you can bear!”
Even at a disadvantage, Su He’s demeanor didn’t falter in face of her imposing attitude.
She wasn’t the least bit intimidated by her warnings and threats.
Su He raised her eyebrows slightly, gave Situ Yuan a deep look, and sighed, “Old Mr.
Situ is a man of integrity and good temper, you grew up by his side, how come you didn’t learn a bit from him?”
Situ Yuan, puzzled by her tone, asked, “You know my grandfather?”
Su He smiled and chose not to answer that question.
Then, she continued, “Ms.
Situ, I’m someone who never takes well to threats, and I prefer action over words, similar to you.”
“Today, just for your grandfather’s sake, I won’t make a big fuss about this.”
At that moment, the door to the rooftop was pushed open once again.
When Jiang Yan and others arrived, they were baffled by the scene before them.
Situ Yuan was tied up, and several bodyguards lay unconscious on the ground.
Helian Lu exclaimed: “Holy shit!
What happened here?”
Jiang Yan was momentarily stunned, then walked over to Su He and asked, “Are you hurt?”
Su He glanced at him and shook her head, “No.”
Jiang Yan was still a bit worried, knowing her special physical condition; even if she were hurt, she might not feel it.
But he couldn’t help her check her condition there.
He took her hand and said, “Let’s go home.”
Throughout, Jiang Yan hadn’t given Situ Yuan a proper look or asked her a single question.
A trace of disappointment flickered through Situ Yuan’s eyes, as since Jiang Yan’s arrival, he only had eyes for Su He.
Helian Lu, after hearing about Situ Yuan’s identity from Ye Jiuqing, had a rough understanding of her background and power.
This young lady’s clout in Country X allowed her to walk sideways, being tied up here by Su He would probably remain an unforgettable memory for her lifetime.
“Tell me, Su He, do you know who you’ve tied up?” asked Helian Lu.
Of course, Su He knew why he was asking that, and with a slight smile, she replied, “I know, so what?”
Helian Lu pursed his lips in a smile, not daring to ask further.
Who was Su He, after all?
Why would she be afraid of this?
Really… he was just overthinking.
Not caring the trivial matters, she doesn’t bear much worry.
Seeing Su He about to leave, Situ Yuan shouted again, “Su He, let me down!”
Su He just turned around, and said carelessly as she shifted her body to the side, “It seems Ms.
Situ is not very lucid, why not blow some wind here first?
Someone will naturally let you down later.”
Situ Yuan was so angered she wanted to roll her eyes, “You… Su He, how dare you treat me like this!”
Su He merely smiled slightly, with an authoritative tone, she said, “Even if Old Mr.
Situ himself were here today, I would still dare!”
Situ Yuan was left speechless by Su He’s arrogant attitude.
From what she could remember, nobody had ever dared to insult her like this!
And Su He was the first who dared to do so!
Just as Su He and others were getting ready to leave, Jinchuan led his men up.
On seeing Su He, Jinchuan furrowed his brow momentarily, finally understanding why his people couldn’t find Su He.
Turns out she was hiding on the rooftop, a place no one would ordinarily suspect.
Upon seeing him, Situ Yuan saw him as a savior, and immediately shouted, “Jinchuan, hurry and get me down.”
Only after her shout did Jinchuan look towards her.
He spoke to a bodyguard beside him, “Go and rescue Ms.
Situ.”
The bodyguard responded, “Yes, my lord.”
However, the bodyguard had only taken a few steps forward when he was stopped by Fei Xu, “Our Young Madam mentioned that Ms.
Situ from your family needs to clear her mind!”
Bodyguard: “…”
“Indeed, just like someone trained by Su He; that tone and demeanor are quite similar,” Helian Lu muttered on the side.
The bodyguard didn’t dare to move, mainly because Fei Xu’s presence was quite daunting, clearly not someone to trifle with, as one could tell from his companion laying on the ground.
The bodyguard looked towards Jinchuan as if asking, “Master, what should we do?”
Jinchuan had already reached his limit of patience.
He took a deep breath, faced Su He and said, “Su He, let her go.
If she has done anything to you, I can ask her to apologize to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Yuan retorted, “I won’t apologize, why should I apologize to her!”
Jinchuan’s deep black eyes glanced sharply at her and he said sternly, “Shut your mouth!”
It left Situ Yuan stunned as it was the first time he had snapped at her.
At this moment, Su He finally spoke, her voice carrying a cold laugh, “President Si, as you see, Ms.
Situ’s temper is quite fierce; I’m just helping Old Mr.
Situ discipline her.
Today, she’s lucky that she encountered me.
If it were someone else, she might just have fallen down from here.”
Jinchuan: “…”
He naturally understood the implication in Su He’s words; if not for the fact that Situ Yuan was from the Situ Family, things would not just involve being tied up here.
This was also a kind of warning.
Today, he had been warned several times already, and yet, here was another from Su He.
But, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice low as he said, “Since you know she is from the Situ Family, you should also know she’s Old Mr.
Situ’s most beloved granddaughter.
If something were to happen to her, Old Mr.
Situ won’t let it go easily.”
Before Su He could respond, Ye Jiuqing already jumped into the conversation, “An old man meddling in young people’s affairs?
Do you think we are afraid of him?
If he dares, let him come, and see if I don’t wipe out the Situ Family!”
Helian Lu swiftly held him back, “Oh come on, Ye!
Why are you being so impulsive?
Su He hasn’t even spoken yet, and you’re issuing challenges; don’t turn a small matter into a big issue with your attitude.”
But it’s no wonder he was irritable, as it all involved Su He.
Ye Jiuqing glanced at Su He then obediently shut his mouth.
Su He narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice carrying a semblance of a smile, “President Si, why don’t you give a call to Old Mr.
Situ right now and ask if he tells me to release her, then I will.”
Jinchuan was a bit surprised at her firm tone.
Not just Jinchuan, even Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised she would say such a thing.
Just as Si Jinchuan was hesitating, Situ Yuan made up her mind: “Jinchuan, call my grandfather.”
Then, she turned to Su He and said: “Su He, if my grandfather learns about this, you will regret it.”
Su He merely smiled indifferently and did not speak, waiting for Si Jinchuan to make the call.
Si Jinchuan hesitated for a few more seconds before finally dialing the Si’s Villa.
“Hello, Uncle Lu, it’s me, is the old man there?”
“Yes, please hold.”
In the living room of Si’s Villa.
The housekeeper handed the phone to Situ Hong, “Old man, it’s Young Master Jinchuan’s call.”
Situ Hong, in his casual home clothes, sat on the sofa, his youthful-looking silvery hair complemented by reading glasses as he was absorbed in a book.
Upon hearing the housekeeper, he shifted his gaze from the book and took off his glasses.
Taking the phone, the old man spoke with a loud and clear voice: “Jinchuan, what’s up?
Why are you calling this old man?”
Normally, Si Jinchuan wouldn’t call the villa to speak to him.
Si Jinchuan briefly explained the situation to Situ Hong.
The housekeeper, standing nearby, noticed the increasingly grim expression on his face, a look of puzzlement that something serious must have occurred to elicit such an expression from the old man.
After listening, Situ Hong asked, “The girl you mentioned, is her name really Su He?”
Hearing the old man’s words, Si Jinchuan looked at Su He before replying, “Yes, she’s right here.”
Situ Hong then instructed, “Hand her the phone, I want to speak with her.”
Si Jinchuan hesitated slightly but passed the phone to Su He.
“Old man wants to speak with you,” Si Jinchuan said.
Su He didn’t refuse, she took the phone, held it to her ear, and greeted proactively: “Hello, Old Mr.
Hong, long time no see.”
Her “long time no see” already revealed that she genuinely knew Situ Hong.
As for their relationship, it was yet to be seen, probably a significant twist awaited.
Situ Hong found her voice familiar almost immediately upon hearing it.
He laughed heartily over the phone: “It really is you, you girl.
I heard from Yuan that you returned to Yue City.
How have you been recently?”
Su He smiled and replied: “I’ve been well, thank you for your concern.”
Situ Hong kindly followed up: “How are your grandparents doing lately?”
Su He spoke softly: “They’re doing quite well, thank you for remembering them.”
Situ Hong said: “Back then, without you, this old man’s grass on his grave could have been one and a half meters tall by now.
Your grandparents raised you well and cultivated you excellently.”
Su’s smile was heard through the phone: “It’s something I ought to do.”
Everyone present listened silently as Su He chatted with Situ Hong on the phone, everyone was baffled, particularly Situ Yuan who was tied up; she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
However, the conversation didn’t last long.
Situ Hong spoke from the other end of the phone: “Su, I would like to apologize on behalf of Xiao Yuan.
Though she grew up with me, she is indeed quite wild and does as she pleases.
If she has offended you, you don’t need to look on my face to hesitate; do whatever you see fit, just spare her life.
This girl has never suffered in society, relying on the power of the Situ Family, indeed, no one dares to provoke her.
This will be a good opportunity for you to teach her a lesson; otherwise, I worry that the day I close my eyes, the Situ Family might go bankrupt once it falls into her hands.”
Su He replied: “I understand, Old Mr.
Hong, don’t worry.”
“Good, good, you’ve always been sensible in your actions, this old man trusts you,” Situ Hong said, not elaborating further, before adding: “Su, please hand the phone back to Jinchuan; I have a few words to instruct him.”
Su He: “Okay.”
After she finished speaking, she returned the phone to Si Jinchuan.
Si Jinchuan took the phone, responding with a few words: “Hello, old man…
okay…
I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, he looked meaningfully at Su He before turning to Situ Yuan.
Situ Yuan, full of expectancy, said: “Jinchuan, what did grandfather say?
Did he ask you to let me go?”
Si Jinchuan slightly furrowed his brow and replied: “Xiao Yuan, the old man said, whatever Dr.
Su says goes.
Once you truly realize your mistake, then you can be let go.”
“Boom”!
Situ Yuan felt as if fireworks were bursting in her mind, and she was completely stunned.
“Impossible!”
Disbelief was written all over her face.
Si Jinchuan continued, “The old man also said that after we let you down, we will send you directly to Situ Family’s ancestral hall.”
At this, Situ Yuan’s complexion became even paler.
Upon hearing this, Su He interjected, “If that’s the case, then President Si might as well look after Ms.
Situ.
She can be let down in an hour.
It’s getting late; we should head back too.”
After saying that, she took Jiang Yan and left first.
After Su He and Situ Hong finished their phone call, Si Jinchuan had even less reason to stop them.
He couldn’t have imagined that Su He and Situ Hong had this kind of relationship.
Seven years ago, Situ Hong nearly died, but someone saved him.
Situ Hong often mentioned his life-saving benefactor in front of him.
It seems that this person was either Su He or someone closely related to Su He.
But seven years ago, Su He was just eighteen, and the surgical master Nil hadn’t appeared in the medical world yet.
“…”
Su He and the others left smoothly, and no one stopped them.
On the way back to the hotel, Helian Lu hopped into Ye Jiuqing’s car.
But Ye Jiuqing disliked him: “Get out!
Take your own car!”
Helian Lu simply wouldn’t get out, sitting there immobile.
He said, “Can’t you be gentler?
Don’t always go ‘get out, get out’.
You do it once and show me, let me learn a bit.”
“You can’t win Su He’s heart, and your temper is one of the roadblocks,” Helian Lu analyzed.
“But I think no matter what you become, you probably won’t win her heart because you’re not her type.
So, just be yourself, be the real Ye Jiuqing.”
Helian Lu’s words, like sharp needles, accurately pricked at Ye Jiuqing’s heart.
“…”
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ah Gui couldn’t help but twitch his mouth corner after hearing this.
Young Duke, your words don’t sound comforting at all, and you’re dancing directly in our Young Master’s sensitive zone.
Ye Jiuqing pressed his tongue against his back teeth and said through clenched teeth, “Say one more unnecessary word, and get the hell out of here!”
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in another car was much more harmonious.
As soon as they got into the car, Jiang Yan lowered the divider.
He checked Su’s body, found indeed no injuries or bruises, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“How do you know Situ Hong?” asked Jiang Yan.
Su He replied, “Perhaps this is the benefit of my profession; I can form bonds everywhere, and once bonded, it’s a life-saving grace.
There’s nothing I can do about it.”
With that, Jiang Yan understood.
He looked at her with doting eyes, lightly flicked her nose, and said softly, “Saying you’re a treasure was absolutely right.”
Su He smiled and said, “Today I’ve played my hand with Si Jinchuan.
He is very scheming.
Having taken this setback today, he definitely won’t let it go, aren’t you afraid he will plot against us in secret?”
To be honest, Su He was still somewhat worried.
Jiang Yan’s lips curled slightly, “You underestimate your husband.
I can play dirty just as well as anyone, I just choose not to.”
“…”
Looking at the man’s self-assured demeanor, the flicker of worry in her heart also dispersed.
