Chapter 165: The Mysterious Briefcase!
"You...!" Su Wanqiao was infuriated by her sister!
The reason she wanted to drive Lin Shuang away was to protect him.
The technology of 'Heavenly Medicine' in her hands... had already attracted the attention of the Du Family, one of the four major families in the Shanghai region, who were ready to take action.
Su Wanqiao didn't want to involve Lin Shuang, so she was intentionally forcing him to resign and leave.
But her foolish sister seemed determined to keep Lin Shuang here? If Lin Shuang stayed in Jiangnan, the Du Family would never let him go.
The Du Family's vengeance against the Peace Society would surely start by targeting Lin Shuang.
So Su Wanqiao was prepared to do whatever it took to drive Lin Shuang away.
Her Su Family had the 'Heavenly Medicine' technology, so even if the Du Family made a move, they wouldn't dare to be too reckless with the Su Family. After all, if anything happened to Su Wanqiao, the Heavenly Medicine technology would be gone too.
But Lin Shuang was all alone, and the Du Family was capable of anything.
Su Wanqiao was about to scold her sister...
Just at that moment, Lin Shuang suddenly spoke, "Enough, I will go. No need to argue with your sister for me. The melon that is pulled off its vine is not sweet, if your sister doesn't welcome me, what's the point of my staying here?"
Lin Shuang broke free from Su Zhiyan and turned to leave.
This time, he didn't even drive, leaving the red flag bulletproof car inside the villa.
Lin Shuang walked away with his hands in his pockets, leaving with a carefree turn...
Su Zhiyan wanted to go after him and hold him back, but she couldn't, and could only watch as he departed...
Lin Shuang hailed a taxi and left the Su Family villa...
Su Zhiyan cried, with tears reddening her eyes.
She cursed her sister out loud.
"Su Wanqiao! You're like a venomous snake! Heartless and cold-blooded! No wonder you're still single after all these years. Apart from your research and technology, do you even have your family and conscience in your heart? Lin Shuang has saved you so many times, don't you care at all? Did you feed your conscience to the dogs?" Su Zhiyan cried and cursed.
"Slap...!" Sister Su Wanqiao, in anger, gave her sister a fierce slap.
"You... you dare hit me?" Sister Su Zhiyan covered her swollen red cheek, her pretty face collapsing in utter grievance.
"From today on, I disown you as a sister! I don't have a vicious sister like you!" Su Zhiyan exclaimed in aggrieved rage!
She stormed back into the villa, slammed the door shut, and locked it from the inside...
That night, the sisters' bond was completely shattered.
At this time, their parents also heard the commotion outside and hurried out, asking what had happened.
Su Wanqiao explained... that she had asked Lin Shuang to resign and leave.
Upon hearing his daughter's words, father Su Beicheng sighed; he understood his daughter's thinking.
"Actually, Xiao Lin is quite good, his skills are strong, staying by your side he could protect you. Maybe he really could stand up to the Du Family," father Su Beicheng sighed.
Su Wanqiao shook her head, "He can protect me temporarily, but not for a lifetime. There are things I must face on my own, and moreover, I don't want to involve him. He has already helped me enough. There's no need for him to risk his life for me."
Su Beicheng let out a long sigh, "Actually... Xiao Lin is not bad, if there were no threat from the Du Family... you two could, well, you could give it a try... maybe he really could protect you for a lifetime."
Su Wanqiao outright rejected, "Until the Heavenly Medicine technology is successful, I will not be with any man. Let the thought die, Dad. And I'm not interested in Lin Shuang. An ordinary warrior, what can he do besides fight? He's not a match for my ambition."
Seeing that his daughter spoke thus, Su Beicheng didn't press the issue further, "Well, it's your decision to make. With Xiao Lin gone, your personal safety is even less secure, strengthen your security in the coming days."
"Dad, rest assured, as long as I hold Heavenly Medicine technology, the Du Family might covet it but wouldn't dare attack me," Su Wanqiao nodded.
After the parents left,
Su Wanqiao stood alone in the dark courtyard of the manor, her head thrown back as she clasped the waning moon above.
A tear rolled down her cheek.
Even she didn't know why she was crying.
Was it the sorrow from sending Lin Shuang away?
Or was it from grievously hurting Lin Shuang with harsh words, feeling guilty?
Su Wanqiao herself did not know.
...
The next day, Su Wanqiao arrived at the company escorted by her bodyguard team.
After arriving at the company, she found out that Lin Shuang really did resign and leave.
She purposefully visited Lin Shuang's office, only to find that all his belongings were gone. Lin Shuang had taken care of his resignation procedures early in the morning.
Looking at the empty driver's office,
Su Wanqiao felt a sense of emptiness inside her...
Su Wanqiao contacted the hospital and learned that grandma Xu had also been transferred and left.
It seemed Lin Shuang had truly left. By now, he might have already taken coma patient Grandma Xu to seek better medical resources elsewhere.
Su Wanqiao was somewhat disheartened and returned to her CEO office.
But just as she pushed the door open, she discovered a black briefcase on her desk?
Strange, who placed this briefcase here?
Su Wanqiao's office was private, no one else except her could enter.
Then this briefcase?!
Su Wanqiao asked her secretary Ding Wei, whose pretty face was also somewhat preoccupied at the moment.
With Lin Shuang's resignation, Ding Wei was deeply saddened too.
Ding Wei shook her head, indicating no one had entered the CEO's office.
At that moment, Su Wanqiao was on high alert!
She called over her bodyguards and had them open the briefcase to see what was inside!
The bodyguards donned bulletproof vests and carefully opened the black briefcase!
