In the banquet hall, after getting rid of Yang Shanshan, Luo Xiaoxi felt relieved and pulled Su Jian’an to the buffet to find something to eat.
Su Jian’an accompanied Luo Xiaoxi patiently. When the latter was full, she asked, “You and Yang Shanshan have never seen each other before. Why don’t you like her at first sight?”
She knew Luo Xiaoxi too well. As soon as Luo Xiaoxi spoke, Su Jian’an knew that she did not like Yang Shanshan.
Su Jian’an was very curious about the reason.
“Eee-” Luo Xiaoxi made a sound of disgust, and the dislike almost overflowed on her face. “I’ve never seen anyone as artificial as Yang Shanshan. What’s wrong with Boss Mu? How can he appreciate this kind of woman?”
Su Jian’an had just taken a sip of water and almost choked on Luo Xiaoxi’s words.
She held the glass of water and thought for a moment. Finally, she gave Luo Xiaoxi a reassuring look. “Sijue should just be using Yang Shanshan. He is not interested in women like Yang Shanshan.”
Luo Xiaoxi asked doubtfully, “Are you sure?”
“Yes,” Su Jian’an said as she nodded, “I’m sure!”
Luo Xiaoxi thought about it and finally crossed herself. “I hope that Sijue will not let you down.”
Su Jian’an could not help laughing. At this time, the banquet hall suddenly became lively.
She looked toward the center of the noise and saw several young men in police uniforms walking in.
“What’s going on?” Luo Xiaoxi shook the glass in her hand and asked calmly, “Is there a murder here?”
Su Jian’an used to work at the police station, and those cases in which she got involved were generally murder cases. Over time, Luo Xiaoxi developed a subconscious idea that if the police appeared, a murder must have occurred.
“It’s not a murder.” Su Jian’an shook her head and motioned for Luo Xiaoxi to look at the police. “They are from the Economic Criminal Investigation Department, and they are not responsible for murders. So, there are economic criminals here, instead of murderers.”
Luo Xiaoxi became excited as soon as she heard that. She held Su Jian’an’s hand with great interest and said, “Let’s go and see who provoked the police of the Economic Criminal Investigation Department.”
“Hey, Xiaoxi!” Being pulled by Luo Xiaoxi, Su Jian’an said while running, “Be careful. Don’t forget that you are pregnant?”
Obviously, Luo Xiaoxi was not bothered by this at all. She tried to catch up with the police as if she had not heard Su Jian’an’s words, and the latter could only follow her.
Su Jian’an had never thought that the police of the Economic Criminal Investigation Department would come and arrest Kang Ruicheng, and that Xu Youning was also in the banquet hall.
Her attention was immediately drawn to Xu Youning and she stared at her without blinking.
Xu Youning had changed.
She was wearing a black-and-white dress, and she also had her hair styled, which highlighted her exquisite facial features. She was incredibly amazing, but with a sense of coldness and alienation. She had an aura of indifference and aloofness.
“Was Xu Youning like this when she stayed with Kang Ruicheng?”
“This could not be the real Xu Youning?”
In this aspect, Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were a perfect match.
Today, for once, he was not dressed entirely in black. Mu Sijue was wearing a formal suit. He looked less aggressive and more charming than before. If it weren’t for Yang Shanshan, there would be plenty of beauties hitting on him.
Luo Xiaoxi also saw Xu Youning and was about to go up to her. They had tried their best to find out whether Doctor Liu was on Xu Youning’s side or not. Now that Xu Youning was here, they could just ask her about it.
Su Jian’an reacted quickly and grabbed Luo Xiaoxi, saying, “The man surrounded by the police is Kang Ruicheng.”
She knew what Luo Xiaoxi was about to do.
However, Kang Ruicheng was also here. If Xu Youning really went back to work undercover around him, Kang Ruicheng would definitely be suspicious of Xu Youning when she heard Luo Xiaoxi’s questions.
At that time, Xu Youning would be in danger. Su Jian’an did not want to see that happen.
“That man is Kang Ruicheng?” Luo Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and then she said in a sarcastic tone, “Why are the police of the Economic Criminal Investigation Department here to investigate Kang Ruicheng? It should be the police responsible for murders who should come and arrest him!”
Su Jian’an suddenly remembered that Lu Boyan had said that Kang Ruicheng would be busy enough with his own affairs soon.
That made sense.
Su Jian’an held Luo Xiaoxi and said, “No matter who comes to get Kang Ruicheng, you should stay away from him.”
Su Jian’an did not know what was going on, but she did not forget about the kidnapping of Tang Yulan and Aunt Zhou.
She was very sure that if Kang Ruicheng went crazy, he would not care that Luo Xiaoxi was pregnant. If something bad happened to Luo Xiaoxi, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
At this time, several bodyguards ran over. The captain whispered to Su Jian’an, “Madam, Mr. Lu asked you and Ms. Luo to stay here. If there is anything, he will deal with it.”
Su Jian’an nodded. “Got it.” She had no intention of going over.
As soon as Su Jian’an finished speaking, she saw Xu Youning running over to Mu Sijue. After Xu Youning said something, Mu Sijue looked increasingly gloomy instead of being happy to reunite with her.
Not far away, Kang Ruicheng was talking to his subordinate named Dongzi.
While listening, Dongzi kept looking at Xu Youning with a strange look in his eyes.
Su Jian’an vaguely guessed that what Kang Ruicheng was telling Dongzi was related to Xu Youning.
She wondered why Dongzi looked at Xu Youning so vigilantly.
Or had Kang Ruicheng never really believed in Xu Youning?
If that was the case, Su Jian’an was even more sure of her guess that Xu Youning must be hiding something from them, and it was also the reason why Xu Youning returned to Kang Ruicheng.
If Xu Youning really regarded Mu Sijue as her enemy, she had many ways to win Kang Ruicheng’s trust, and Kang Ruicheng would not be so cautious and suspicious of her.
While Su Jian’an was thinking about it, she saw Dongzi walk toward Xu Youning.
From her perspective, she could see clearly what Dongzi was holding against Xu Youning.
It seemed like… a gun!
In an instant, Su Jian’an felt as if she had been drenched by a bucket of icy water in winter, and she felt chills all over her body.
Luo Xiaoxi immediately noticed Su Jian’an’s abnormal expression and touched Su Jian’an with her hand. “Jian’an, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.”
Su Jian’an did not want Luo Xiaoxi to worry, so she shook her head and kept staring at Xu Youning. She saw Xu Youning return to Kang Ruicheng and being held in his arms. Xu Youning did not resist at all, as if she was used to Kang Ruicheng’s embrace.
“Well, someone is going to be jealous.”
Su Jian’an looked at Mu Sijue. Sure enough, Mu Sijue’s face clouded. If it were June, Mu Sijue would probably be able to summon a rainstorm.
She knew that Mu Sijue still cared about Youning. The words that he would have nothing to do with Xu Youning burst from him in an angry rush!
Before Kang Ruicheng let go of Xu Youning, Mu Sijue suddenly walked toward the entrance of the banquet hall. Lu Boyan walked a few steps after him but did not follow him out in the end. Instead, he came to Su Jian’an.
Only Yang Shanshan persisted in chasing after Mu Sijue. She called him “Brother Sijue” while lifting her dress and going after him.
Seeing this, Su Jian’an could not help sighing.
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Why did you sigh?”
Su Jian’an looked at Yang Shanshan, who was running and said, “Yang Shanshan likes Sijue, but it is destined to be an unrequited love. I hope that she won’t be so persistent that it will become a tragedy.”
Moreover, if she was too persistent, it was very likely that even if she lost everything she had and she would have just as Han Ruoxi did, she could not get the result she wanted.
“Yang Shanshan’s business has nothing to do with us.” Lu Boyan took Su Jian’an’s hand. “Let’s go home.”
Su Jian’an looked at Xu Youning worriedly and asked, “What about Youning?”
“We can’t do anything about her,” Lu Boyan said, “for she is now working for Kang Ruicheng.”
Lu Boyan knew what Su Jian’an was thinking. If possible, she wanted to take Xu Youning away.
However, this place was swarming with Kang Ruicheng’s men. They could not be sure if Xu Youning was willing to go with them. If they acted rashly, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi would be taking great risks.
Su Jian’an compressed her lips. “Okay, let’s go back.”
If Xu Youning believed in Mu Sijue, she would go back sooner or later. It was really not a good time now.
Su Yicheng also came over and then left with Luo Xiaoxi.
The policeman said to Kang Ruicheng, “Mr. Kang, it’s about time.”
Kang Ruicheng looked very calm, but there was obviously a touch of gloominess in his eyes and his voice. “Well, let’s go.”
He had to admit that Mu Sijue got him into trouble at a very opportune moment.
At present, he still needed to make use of the Su Group, so he attended this charity dinner party.
The big shots in the business world of City A, as well as all the major domestic media, were right here. Under such circumstances, because of his position as the CEO of the Su Group, he could not pull out his gun to resist. Instead, he could only leave obediently with the police and then be drowned by unfavorable public opinion.
That was a very smart move by Mu Sijue.
However, Mu Sijue was too naive. Without the Su Group, he still had other ways to launder his money!
Xu Youning watched the police take Kang Ruicheng away. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she did not in the end.
When he saw this, Kang Ruicheng thought that she was worried, so he turned around and comforted her. “I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry.”
Xu Youning nodded and said, “I’ll take good care of Mumu. Don’t worry.”
From the beginning to the end, this sentence came from Xu Youning’s heart.
After Kang Ruicheng was taken away by the police, Han Ruoxi was surrounded by reporters. Various questions were fired at her. Even if Han Ruoxi had ample experience in dealing with reporters, she could not attend to them all for a while.
Han Ruoxi had thought that by relying on Kang Ruicheng, she could win a round. After all, from all aspects, Kang Ruicheng was not much worse than Lu Boyan.
However, before she could do anything, Kang Ruicheng was taken away by the police, and she became the most pitiful female companion in history.
She could not accept it!
After getting rid of the reporters, Han Ruoxi went to Dongzi and asked him what was going on.
Dongzi was discussing with Xu Youning how to help Kang Ruicheng, and he directly said to Han Ruoxi, “Get lost!”
