Cheng Beize replied, "To be honest, the An Family is a complete mess right now. The family’s youngest grandson is back—An Zhihan, you know him. He came back and went head-to-head with the An Family right away. He started a company specifically to steal business from them, and he’s been successful every single time."
Cheng Beize had absolutely no love for the An Family. He had never forgotten that they were behind his sister’s kidnapping. He was quite pleased to see the An Family’s misfortune and would even secretly help An Zhihan out. He said to Su Qing with a smile, "You have no idea. The An Family’s reputation was already going downhill day by day, and their business was doing much worse than before. They’ve almost fallen off the list of Xiangcheng’s richest families. Now, with An Zhihan back and working against them, it’s just making a bad situation worse. I bet the An Family will soon be a thing of the past. I heard Old Mrs. An was so angry she was hospitalized."
Su Qing smiled. ’This An Zhihan is pretty impressive, isn’t he?’
Cheng Beize added, "I suspect An Zhiqian is targeting you now for two reasons. One, you helped my family before, so he holds a grudge against you. Two, it could be because you know An Zhihan. He can’t win against An Zhihan, so he’s taking his frustration out on you. In any case, you must be careful. Don’t trust strangers, you hear me?"
Cheng Beize couldn’t help but repeat the warning.
"Okay." Su Qing nodded with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, you can keep talking to my cousin. I won’t disturb you two."
Li Huan, who was standing nearby, instantly blushed beet-red. She said a few more words to Cheng Beize before hanging up the phone. She then turned to Su Qing worriedly and said, "Qingqing, you have to stick with me for a while. Don’t go anywhere by yourself, okay?"
Landlines back then weren’t very private, so Li Huan, standing to the side, had heard their entire conversation clearly. That’s why she was especially worried about Su Qing and was in no mood to keep chatting sweetly with Cheng Beize.
Su Qing laughed. "Don’t worry. You know my Combat Power, don’t you?"
"Of course your skills are good," Li Huan said with a nod. "But what if they try something sneaky? It’s impossible to guard against everything. Besides, that guy had plastic surgery. Who knows what he looks like now?"
"Don’t worry, I have it under control." Su Qing couldn’t tell Li Huan about Su Shengguo and his wife right now, nor could she reveal that she had already spotted her pursuer. Until the matter was settled, she had to keep Li Huan in the dark.
"Hmph. Well, I’m not going to let you be alone, anyway." Li Huan lifted her chin. She felt that as the older cousin, even if Su Qing was more skilled, she was still younger. It was her responsibility to protect Su Qing. Besides, her summer of training hadn’t been for nothing. She was a tough girl with some skills now, too.
"Alright." Su Qing smiled and nodded.
When Su Shengguo and his wife came to see Su Qing again, they learned from her that Su Shunli and his son had been arrested.
"Serves them right!" Su Shengguo said through clenched teeth. A few days ago, they had learned from the Xiyuan County police that the murderers of Old Mrs. Su had been identified as Su Shunli and his son. This was something they had never expected. Su Shengguo, in particular, couldn’t understand it at all. That father and son were Old Mrs. Su’s most beloved relatives. How could they bring themselves to harm her?
When he heard the news that Su Shengli and his father had fled, he had been praying constantly for the police to capture them and bring them to justice, to get justice for his old mother. Now, hearing from Su Qing that they had been caught, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
Su Qing said nonchalantly, "If Su Shengli and his father hadn’t come to threaten and extort me, I wouldn’t have even known what was happening back in Lihua Village."
"Well, it’s just... we were too embarrassed to tell you." Su Shengguo said, looking a bit ashamed. "I know my mom was truly awful to you in the past. Anyway, for everything that happened before... I’m truly sorry."
Su Qing raised an eyebrow slightly. ’She had to admit, the Su Shengguo of today had really changed a lot.’
’But no matter how much Su Shengguo changed, it had nothing to do with her, Su Qing. Once the current matter was over, she had no intention of resuming contact with his family. After all, what happened, happened. You couldn’t pretend it didn’t. Besides, the life of the original owner of this body lay between them. No matter how much the Su Family repented, the original Su Qing could never come back.’
Su Qing didn’t continue the topic. Instead, she said to Su Shengguo and his wife, "Speaking of which, it’s been almost a month. After you’ve come here two or three more times, you can go tell that Zhao Qi that I’ve agreed to let you go to the Li family."
