Wang Sui glanced around anxiously and pleaded, “Where are you? Can we talk face to face? Please, come out and don’t hide from me…”
Gu Dai watched Wang Sui, who seemed on the verge of collapse, and was about to speak. However, as she entered the secret room, she fell silent, her gaze fixed on the monitor.
Su Ting, observing the mysterious man wearing a mask entering the secret room, furrowed her brows, a sense of mystery rising within him.
Upon seeing the masked man, Wang Sui ran towards him excitedly, grabbed his arm, and cried out, “I knew it, I knew that one day my love would move you, and you would come to like me!”
The masked man remained unmoved by Wang Sui’s heartfelt confession and pushed her to the ground with a swift motion.
Wang Sui looked up at the masked man, incredulously asking, “Why are you pushing me away?”
After saying this, her mind raced to justify the masked man’s actions, “I get it, you must still be angry, right? Nothing happened between Lin Chen and me. I only wanted to use his affection for me to swindle his assets for you. I can show you what I’ve gained from it, you…”
The masked man stared coldly at Wang Sui, slowly raising his hand to his mask.
Gu Dai and Su Ting’s eyes were glued to the masked man’s hand as he slowly removed the mask, revealing a delicate yet familiar face, “Su Ci…”
Upon seeing the unfamiliar face beneath the mask, Wang Sui’s eyes widened in shock, “You’re not him? Who are you, and why are you pretending to be him? Why mimic his voice to lure me here, what is your purpose?”
Su Ci didn’t understand Wang Sui’s intention, but his eyes flashed with disgust as he coldly stated, “I am his son.”
Wang Sui was stunned, “His son?”
Regaining her composure, she urgently asked Su Ci, “Can you get your father to meet me? Tell him I’ve been working for him and would never betray him. I…”
Her words were cut off by the sound of a door being pushed open.
Lin Chen, fists clenched and veins bulging, was livid, his face flushed with anger as he glared at Wang Sui, demanding, “Is what you just said true? Were you really just using me?”
Lin Chen and Aad had approached upon seeing Gu Dai and Su Ting communicating and had witnessed the entire scene on the monitor, hearing everything Wang Sui said.
Wang Sui stammered, “I, I’m not, I…”
Upon seeing Lin Chen appear here, she froze completely, stuttering and unable to articulate a single complete sentence for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen said, “Suisui, I believe you’re not that kind of person. I can feel your love for me, so there must be some difficulty you’re facing, right?”
Aad couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “We heard everything clearly at the door, yet you still refuse to believe the truth.”
Lin Chen gritted his teeth, then snapped at Aad, “Shut up!”
Aad had often been reprimanded by Lin Chen because of Wang Sui, but still felt annoyed hearing him now, retorting, “This woman has ulterior motives and harbors feelings for another. If you still believe her excuses, then you’re a fool!”
Lin Chen ignored Aad’s words and quickly walked over to Wang Sui, helping her up gently, “Suisui, I know you’re facing difficulties. You don’t need to say anything, I understand!”
Aad turned away, unwilling to admit she had a father who was willingly playing the fool.
Wang Sui ignored Lin Chen, her gaze fixed on Su Ci’s face, which bore a resemblance to his father’s, and anxiously said, “I really have nothing to do with him, can you please not tell your father?”
Su Ci replied indifferently, “Putting aside what my father would think upon learning this, considering your current situation, you’ve deceived royal personnel. Do you think they’ll let you go?”
Aad interjected coldly, “No, we won’t let her go!”
Wang Sui, unfazed, addressed Su Ting, “I’ve been with your father for so long and have always been devoted to him. He will definitely save me.”
After saying this, she nodded firmly, “Yes, he will come to rescue me!”
Lin Chen, despite being over fifty, teared up like a young boy upon hearing Wang Sui’s words, “Who is the ‘he’ you’re talking about? Who is he?”
