133: Chapter 133: Father and Son in Trouble 133: Chapter 133: Father and Son in Trouble Helian Lu had someone bandage Ye Jiuqing’s wound.
Originally, Ye Jiuqing wanted Su He to bandage him, but Su He directly replied with, “I don’t know how!”
Su He sat next to Jiang Yan, when suddenly Jiang Yan hissed in pain.
“What’s wrong?” Su He immediately asked upon hearing him.
Jiang Yan looked at her gently, speaking softly, “It’s nothing, probably just took an accidental punch while sparring just now.”
“Where?” Su He asked with furrowed brows.
The man soothed her while touching his right forearm with his left hand.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing.
It will heal on its own in a few days,” Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.
Ye Jiuqing and Helian Lu found Jiang Yan’s words laughably pretentious.
Su He didn’t think too much, but her hands were honest.
She promptly undid the buttons on his sleeve cuff and rolled up his sleeve.
Soon after, a bruise came into her view, a flicker of heartache briefly passed through her clear and bright eyes, then disappeared as quickly as it had come.
She didn’t even notice this subtle change herself.
There happened to be a first-aid kit nearby, complete with a bottle of safflower oil, which she took and opened.
“It might hurt a bit, bear with it,” said Su He softly as she poured some oil into the palm of her hand.
“Mhm.”
The two others across from them: “…”
Su He bowed her head slightly, seriously massaging out the bruise on his forearm.
During this, Jiang Yan inadvertently gave Ye Jiuqing a smug look.
Ye Jiuqing was no fool; he could clearly see the gesture.
But when had he gotten hurt?
Just now, his men didn’t even touch a hair on him!
What injury did he sustain?
Helian Lu was just silently watching the spectacle.
Not long after, a young child’s voice came from outside.
“Mommy, Mommy…”
The little one was shouting loudly outside the yacht.
Su He heard and immediately got up, swiftly making her way outside.
Jiang Yan closely followed her.
Just as Ye Jiuqing and Helian Lu stepped out of the cabin, they saw Su He holding a child in her arms.
“Wuu wuu ┭┮﹏┭┮, Mommy, baby missed you so, so much.”
“Baby thought he’d never see you again…”
Su Yimo wrapped his arms around Su He’s neck, burying his little head into her neck.
Su He held him, patting the little guy’s back, “Mommy missed baby, too.
Sorry, mommy didn’t protect you well.”
Helian Lu glanced at the child in Su He’s arms, then at the terrifyingly dark face of Ye Jiuqing.
“Didn’t you use this child to lure Su He to Country Y?” Helian Lu asked.
Ye Jiuqing did not answer him.
But his expression had already given Helian Lu the answer.
Helian Lu clicked his tongue and said, “You’re quite something!
Knowing full well Su He hates being threatened with her nearest and dearest, yet you always head straight for the storm.
Truly incorrigible!
You’re beyond saving!”
Helian Lu looked at him and suddenly felt a sense of frustrated disappointment.
Ye Jiuqing’s lips were pressed into a thin line.
That also meant he was in a bad mood right now.
And Helian Lu couldn’t help but add, “Tch, this family of three really looks quite well-matched.”
Su Yimo cuddled closer into Su He’s neck, nuzzling it with his little head before looking up.
He blinked his round, black eyes and with a childish voice said, “Mommy, it’s not your fault.
Blame him, he’s the one who took baby away, and he didn’t even feed baby.”
The little guy stretched out his hand, pointing in Ye Jiuqing’s direction.
“…”
Just then, Su Baobao’s stomach growled again.
Su Baobao’s little mouth turned downwards, “Mommy, baby is hungry.”
Su He didn’t know what to say, looking at his pitiful expression.
The little guy had unexpectedly been taken out of the country and brought to an entirely unfamiliar place, yet he never once showed signs of fear from beginning to end.
Su He wasn’t sure whether to be happy or worried about that.
Although Su Yimo was only three years old, his psychological resilience was far more mature than his peers, even surpassing some adults.
Jiang Yan took the little one from Su He’s arms.
Because she had things to say to Ye Jiuqing.
Father and son stood aside, quietly watching the scene.
Su He walked a few steps toward Ye Jiuqing, her gaze calmly fixed on him.
But Ye Jiuqing suddenly felt a bit nervous, yet his face showed no sign of it.
Su He sighed, “I hope this is the last time!”
Helian Lu, seeing Ye Jiuqing’s silence, was just about to answer for him.
But the very next second—
Ye Jiuqing spoke for himself, but as soon as he did, he stepped on a landmine.
With a stubborn tone, he said, “What if I don’t?”
Helian Lu’s lips twitched slightly: “…”
Is this guy sick in the head or what?
Su He was clearly giving him a way out, and yet he’s truly asking for a beating—no wonder he can’t win her over!
Hopeless, utterly hopeless!
There’s no saving him!
Su He’s elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a chill surfaced in her serene eyes as she said coldly, “Fine, as you wish, as long as you can bear the consequences!”
Helian Lu felt a chill down his spine.
To prevent Ye Jiuqing from saying something even more outrageous,
Helian Lu quickly said, “Susu, Ye is just joking with you.
He likes to say the opposite of what he means.
Don’t take it to heart; just think of it as him farting.
You all should hurry back now; it’s getting late.
Tomorrow, I’ll invite your family of three for a meal.
Besides, Qing Wu would be delighted to know you’ve come to Country Y.
I’ll bring her to you tomorrow, so you all should stay here for a few more days.”
Su He shifted her gaze to him: “No need.
We’ll leave tomorrow.
Qing Wu is pregnant; don’t make her run around.
We can meet another time when it’s convenient.”
After stating this, Su He turned and left.
Helian Lu: “…”
He glanced at Ye Jiuqing, who had not moved an inch, and shook his head.
Then he cleared his throat and said, “Ye, I can only help you this much.
The rest is up to you, I’m at my wits’ end.”
–
Back at the hotel.
Su Yimo had already fallen asleep in Jiang Yan’s arms.
The little one who had been complaining of hunger not long ago was now fast asleep.
Su He didn’t intend to wake him and let him continue his rest.
Jiang Yan tiptoed and gently placed the little guy on the bed.
After setting him down, he didn’t leave right away but turned towards the bathroom.
Then he came out with a wet towel, wiped the child’s face and hands and feet, and after doing all this, he finally stood up, left the room, and closed the door behind him.
As he stepped out, Su He walked towards the sofa with an ice pack in her hand.
Her voice was crisp, commanding, “Come here.
Let me put the ice pack on the bruise on your arm again.”
Jiang Yan’s lips slightly curled up, revealing a gentle smile on his handsome face: “Okay.”
Su He handed him the ice pack directly, but the man showed no intention of taking it.
Instead, he spoke, “You help me apply it.
I’m a bit tired after tonight’s activities; I’m afraid I might not hold it properly.”
His deep and magnetic voice carried a hint of whimsy.
Su He: “…”
Hadn’t he been pretty energetic when holding the little one just now?
She didn’t expose him, though.
Let it be.
She changed her position, sitting to his right.
A chill immediately penetrated into his body through his pores.
Su He lowered her eyelids, staring at the ice in her palm, and asked, “How do you know Helian Lu anyway?”
Jiang Yan answered honestly, “I have business dealings with the Royal Family of Country Y; we got acquainted over time.”
Upon hearing this, Su He looked up at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her clear eyes.
“So, you even have business dealings with the Royal Family.
President Jiang’s business circle is quite broad.”
The man smiled and said, “Earning money for Mrs.
Jiang is my duty.”
Su He laughed at his words: “President Jiang has a pretty clear understanding of his role.
Not bad.”
Her eyes turned into crescents when she laughed, incredibly beautiful.
Those starry eyes seemed to hold galaxies, shining brilliantly, making the mole by her eyes even more enchanting.
He remembered the first time he saw her at the Su Family home, what attracted him the most were her eyes that shone like the stars.
“It’s all thanks to Mrs.
Jiang’s good training, to which I happily submit.”
A fervent light passed through the darkness of his eyes, causing one’s heart to flutter.
Su He felt somewhat embarrassed, diverting her gaze and clearing her throat lightly.
Sometimes, the things this man said were simply impossible to respond to.
Twenty minutes later.
“That’s enough.”
After speaking, Su He stood up, holding the ice.
But the next second, with a spin, she found herself in the man’s arms, seated directly on his lap.
Jiang Yan wrapped one hand around her slender waist while the other cupped her cheek, leaning in and capturing her lips.
His warm, arrow-like tongue skillfully invaded, gently and adeptly capturing the sweetness in her mouth.
It didn’t take long for Su He to surrender under his exquisite kissing skills.
Her slender arms twined around his shoulders like two vines.
The breaths of the two grew more intense, and the temperature in the living room rose as well.
Some ambiguous sounds reached Su He’s ears.
“Click!”
The door of the room was suddenly opened.
The two of them, hearing the noise, immediately separated.
Su Baobao, yawning, walked out of the room, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Both turned their gaze toward the direction of the room in unison.
Su He reacted swiftly to get off the man, the previous embarrassment still vivid in her memory.
Jiang Yan could only sigh helplessly.
Right after she got down, Su Baobao entered the living room.
The little guy looked at the two of them and walked over.
“Mommy~”
Su He picked him up, letting him sit on her lap, and raised her hand to tidy his messy hair.
Her voice was gentle as she asked, “Woke up hungry?”
Su Baobao yawned and nodded: “Yeah, baby’s tummy is so hungry.”
Su He saw his sleepiness but thought of eating and couldn’t help but laugh.
She pinched his little nose and said, “Little foodie.”
Jiang Yan, standing nearby, made a phone call: “Have someone bring up the food.”
Five minutes later.
Su Baobao sat at the dining table and started to eat.
Then, after washing up, the family of three didn’t go to sleep until 3 a.m.
The next day.
Ten o’clock.
Su Baobao woke up wrapped in love.
But the two adults on his left and right hadn’t awoken.
He decided to get up by himself, but as soon as he moved, Jiang Yan woke up.
“What’s wrong?” The man’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
Su Baobao whispered, “I’m hungry.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan gently got out of bed and then picked him up, speaking softly, “I’ll take you to wash up; let’s not wake mommy.”
Su Baobao nodded his little head.
By the time Su He woke up, the figures of the father and son were no longer in the room.
However, Jiang Yan sent her a message.
The father and son went to the buffet restaurant on the first floor of the hotel to eat.
She freshened up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs as well.
But just as the elevator reached the first floor, it shook violently due to a massive force.
Su He frowned, recognizing the sound of an explosion.
The people in the elevator panicked and rushed out as soon as the doors opened.
The hotel lobby was in chaos, and everyone ran out the doors in a panic.
A thick smell of gunpowder hit the nostrils.
Then, she heard someone saying that there had been an explosion in the buffet restaurant.
Her mind buzzed in an instant.
She immediately took out her phone, dialing a number while pushing through the crowd and hurried toward the buffet restaurant.
But she couldn’t get through to Jiang Yan.
Upon arriving at the buffet restaurant, Su He saw Fei Yue at the entrance, looking anxious.
“Where are they?” Su He ran over, seizing her arm.
Fei Yue, seeing it was Su He, paused, then hesitated to speak.
“Are they inside?” Su He asked, frowning with restraint.
Without waiting for an answer, Su He let go and turned to run inside.
Fei Yue promptly pulled her back: “Young Madam, don’t go, it’s dangerous inside, Jiang Feng and Fei Yang have already gone in to look for them.”
No one knew why there was such an unexpected explosion, nor did anyone know if it would happen again.
Therefore, Fei Yue dared not let Su He go in.
“Let go!”
Su He’s cold voice echoed.
When Fei Yue met her gaze, she shuddered.
“Don’t make me say it twice!”
Fei Yue could only let go.
Watching Su He’s departing figure, she didn’t know what to say and immediately followed.
Inside, it was bombed to pieces, nothing was intact, pitch-black everywhere.
And besides the strong smell of gunpowder, there was also a scent of blood.
Su He’s brow furrowed as she turned on her phone’s flashlight.
With the faint light, she saw some people lying motionless on the ground, blood continuously pouring out.
Fei Yue followed and saw the scene too.
“Go, get a first aid kit from the hotel staff,” Su He said sternly.
Fei Yue paused for a second, “Okay.”
Su He and the others looked around but couldn’t find Jiang Yan and Su Yimo.
Not seeing them meant there was still hope.
Soon, firefighters, police, and medical personnel arrived at the scene.
The police set up a cordon and drove them out.
Helian Lu also arrived since it was his hotel.
When he heard about the explosion, he rushed over immediately.
It wasn’t just because he owned the hotel, but also because Su He was staying there.
He had called her before coming, but no one answered.
It wasn’t until he saw her that his heart settled.
“I was so scared, why didn’t you answer my phone?” He didn’t notice Su He’s taut and somber face and went up to ask.
After asking, he then saw that her eyes were slightly reddened and her whole body was enveloped in coldness.
He glanced around and didn’t see Jiang Yan and the little one.
In an instant, a bad premonition flashed in his mind.
“That, Susu, where are Jiang Yan and the little guy?” he asked cautiously.
Su He’s gaze was fixed in the direction of the buffet restaurant, and Helian Lu’s heart skipped a beat.
Damn!
This can’t be such bad luck!
He swallowed hard and said, “Susu, don’t worry, Jiang Yan is tough, and he and the kid will definitely be fine.”
Su He didn’t respond; after a moment of silence, she spoke, “Why was there a bomb in the hotel?”
Helian Lu was startled; he wasn’t clear on what caused the explosion before arriving and hadn’t investigated yet.
Furthermore, it was the first such serious incident in the hotel; there had been nothing like it in the past.
At first, he thought that some hotel equipment had malfunctioned.
His eyebrows furrowed, “Are you sure it’s an explosion caused by an explosive device?”
After asking, he regretted it.
Because Su He knew no less in this area than those professionals.
Su He’s expression darkened, “This is your hotel.
Since someone caused this explosion here, they were either targeting you or the people inside.
Bring up the surveillance footage from before the explosion, I need to see it.”
Upon hearing this, Helian Lu immediately ordered his people to retrieve the footage.
They quickly accessed the surveillance.
Five minutes before the restaurant exploded, Jiang Yan appeared with Su Yimo in his arms.
Father and son got some food and then returned to their seats.
Until—
Forty seconds before the video ended, Jiang Yan suddenly seemed to say something to a passing waiter, and the waiter shouted for everyone to hurry and leave.
Jiang Yan then swiftly picked up Su Yimo and headed towards the nearest bar counter, after which the footage cut off.
That meant, Jiang Yan and the little one hadn’t left before the blast.
“Stop!” Su He called out.
She turned to Helian Lu and asked, “Does this buffet restaurant have two floors?”
Helian Lu nodded, “Yes, what’s up?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su He turned and left.
Jiang Feng and the others immediately followed.
“Hey, wait, where are you going?”
Helian Lu shouted, baffled, then followed quickly.
At this moment.
In the presidential suite of a hotel.
A man in black stood in the living room and said to the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, “Master, the matter has been successfully taken care of.”
The man replied in a deep voice, “Mm, you may leave.”
“Yes.”
After the man in black left, the man took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly answered.
The man spoke simply and indifferently, “The deed is done, remember what you promised me!”
