Views:

Su Rong had already stepped forward and pulled Su Yao away. The two of them watched Lai Weiqi and Song Heng fighting back and forth, and they were both worried.

In the end, Lai Weiqi dragged out the last syllable of the word "oh" and smiled meaningfully, "Really? That's a coincidence. I just got here not long ago. I heard that Miss Su is still in a coma. Since Assistant Minister Song is here too, why don't we go and take a look together?"

Seeing Su Yao and Su Rong looking like they were in dire straits, one knew something must have happened to Su Xingyi.

As long as Su Xingyi has something, even if Song Heng is here, he will still dare to take down the Su family!

Song Heng smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, let's go together."

When he passed Su Yao, his gaze lingered on the bright red spot on Su Yao's neck for a moment, then he strode up the corridor and went straight into the main room.

Lai Weiqi opened the curtain first and walked in. At first glance, he saw Su Xingyi lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

He couldn't help but take two steps forward, but when he reached the couch, he was stopped by Su Yao who had rushed to Su Xingyi's side first.

"Commander Lai, although you are investigating the case, my sister is a woman after all. There are differences between men and women. Even the Jinyiwei must know this, right?" She frowned slightly and said, "You said that Guo Chongxing's family testified that Guo Chongxing often went in and out of the Wen family to see my sister. Now, Assistant Secretary Song has also said that it was him and Wen Shichang who were recruited by the Loyal and Brave Marquis to see Guo Chongxing seriously. I wonder if Commander Lai thinks there is anything else to investigate about my sister?"

Lai Weiqi narrowed his eyes and was extremely patient with this very troublesome girl.

But now Song Heng, the Bodhisattva, was here, and he couldn't give people too much reason to criticize him, so he narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Miss Su is right, but Miss Su has been married to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion for many years, so it's hard to guarantee that she knows something important. What's wrong with me asking?"

"Everyone has said that Miss Su broke with the Wen family. What does she know about the Wen family's activities?" Song Heng looked at Lai Weiqi with a half-smile: "Come to think of it, Commander Lai seems to be sure that Miss Su can find out something. It just so happens that I am also worried about the black bear. If you have any news, why not tell me?"

This sly guy!

Lai Weiqi couldn't help cursing in her heart, but she couldn't show anything.

Song Heng is not as frivolous as people say. On the contrary, he is a shrewd and calculating fox. The fact that he has followed me here today shows that he has learned something.

The traces have already been revealed. If we continue to be aggressive, with Song Heng, a troublemaker, around, it would be too deliberate.

Besides, Su Xingyi is alive and well now, so there must be something wrong with the plan.

Thinking of this, Lai Weiqi no longer hesitated, snorted coldly and said lightly: "What Song Chenshi said is true. Aren't we all working for the emperor? Naturally, we should do our best and not let go of any clues. But now that you said that the loyal and brave marquis has confessed, and Miss Su broke with the Wen family, then there is naturally no need to investigate further."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Yao again, then turned around and left with his men.

Su Rong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Song Heng hadn't come, it would be hard to say what would have happened to the Su family.

He bowed to Song Heng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song."

"Nothing." Song Heng responded nonchalantly, and then asked: "The veteran you mentioned before, is that Guo Chongxing?"

Su Yao had already mentioned the clue to Song Heng. He had also told Su Rong about it. Therefore, Su Rong was not surprised when he heard Song Heng ask this. He nodded, his face solemn: "Uncle Guo once told me categorically that my father's favor to the late crown prince's people was completely false. On the contrary, it was the then deputy commander Cheng Shouwang who actually did so..."

He couldn't understand why Guo Chongxing suddenly committed suicide at Caishikou and left behind such a blood letter.

Guo Chongxing retired because he kept his mouth shut. It was obvious that he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

He had to work very hard to find out from Guo Chongxing, and it took him two whole years to get Guo Chongxing to reveal the news. He couldn't get any more information.

Guo Chongxing also made it clear that he was unwilling to stand up again no matter what.

How could a person who is well aware of the interests involved in this matter, a person who would rather retreat and hide in the countryside for many years, suddenly expose this matter in such a tragic way after so many years

If he was really that courageous, he would have done it a long time ago. Why would he wait until today

"This matter is closely related to the Cheng family." Su Yao hit the nail on the head: "As for why the Cheng family was able to do this, I don't need to tell you, my eldest brother and Mr. Song should know the reason."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Song Heng and Su Rong were both puzzled, so she said calmly: "It's Guo Chongxing's matter..."

She was thinking about how to tell Su Rong and Song Heng that the news about Guo Chongxing should have been leaked by Su Xingxuan, when Su Rong turned around in surprise and looked at Li Rui who ran in.

Li Rui was panting and his face was pale. He supported his knees with his hands and bent over to breathe. He didn't care about the burning sensation in his throat and nose. He told Su Yao and Su Rong loudly: "It's bad, it's bad, Eldest Young Master and Fourth Young Lady, just now... just now, Third Young Master stopped Commander Lai and is now leading his men to Third Young Lady's yard!"

What!

Su Rong's eyes suddenly turned stern.

Su Yao didn't bother to explain or say anything else. He almost immediately turned his head and looked at Song Heng: "Mr. Song, please come with us and stop Lai Weiqi. I will tell you where the so-called prince's personal guard is now!"

Song Heng and Su Rong looked at her in shock.

Especially Su Rong, his heart was in turmoil.

You know, even he couldn't find out who the person who was accused of drinking with his father that day was, so how could Su Yao know? !

Song Heng also looked at Su Yao deeply, and then responded with a "yes" without hesitation.

Su Yao immediately picked up the hem of her skirt and ran away.

She would never let the Su family fall. She wanted the third branch of the Su family and Su Xingxuan to watch out for her. She, Su Yao, didn't want the third branch's pity at all. She could rely on herself to make the Su family prosper!

She will definitely take back the title that the third branch of the Su family has been longing for.

After all, Lai Weiqi was stopped by Su An at the second gate, and Su Xingyi's courtyard was very close to Hengzhi Courtyard. Therefore, after Li Rui reported the news, when Su Yao and Song Heng rushed to Hengzhi Courtyard, they ran into Lai Weiqi and Su An who had not yet entered the gate.

As soon as the two sides met, Su An's face changed with anger. He pointed at Su Yao and asked, "What are you doing here?!"
