No matter what methods or means he used, he had to keep her. Even if she was indifferent and cold towards him, he was willing to live with her like this for the rest of his life!
"The scenery here is beautiful, it makes one feel so refreshed," Su Kangxi said, standing on Gu Susu's other side, gripping the railing with both hands and taking a deep breath of fresh air.
Susu said faintly, "It's alright..." As soon as she spoke, she felt her throat was a bit dry and cleared it with a soft cough.
Su Kangxi quickly said, "Sister Susu, are you thirsty? I'll go buy you some water."
Yang Sijie smiled and stopped him, saying, "Let me go instead. She's been weak lately and needs hot drinks. This park is too big, and you're not familiar with where to buy hot drinks."
Su Kangxi scratched his head and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Sijie. Please get me a cup of coffee too."
Yang Sijie nodded slightly and went to buy them drinks.
Susu was silent for a moment before asking, "Has he gone far?"
Su Kangxi held the railing with both hands, as if stretching his body, and looked back. "He's already gone far."
Susu immediately took out her phone and said to him, "Turn on your Bluetooth, I have something to send you."
Su Kangxi did as Susu said without asking any questions.
Susu didn't dare to delay for a moment. She sent all the account books she had photographed to Su Kangxi, and then deleted them all from her phone.
Su Kangxi saved the pictures she sent but didn't look closely. He asked, "What are these?"
"These are the account books I found in his study. Hurry and investigate according to these. You might be able to find the mole."
Su Kangxi responded and saw a long bench behind them. He said, "Sister Susu, let's sit for a while."
They sat on the bench by the lake. Su Kangxi said with mixed feelings, "Actually, I still don't want to believe that Sijie Ge would turn out like this. I keep asking myself if I can really bring him to justice with my own hands."
Susu looked at a spot on the distant lake, her eyes like an empty desert.
"I don't know either. Even though he hurt me, I still can't forget the happy times when we depended on and trusted each other."
"Yes, when I was little, I always followed behind you two, watching how well you got along and how in sync you were. I was indescribably envious. I always wanted to grow up quickly. Why is Brother Sijie older than me and taller than me? I also want to grow as tall as him, so I can carry you when we go down the mountain."
Susu smiled slightly and said, "I can't forget it either. You always had two snot trails on your face when you were little."
"Sister Susu, then you should quickly forget what I looked like back then. It's too embarrassing." Su Kangxi pursed his lips and smiled.
"Actually, I don't want to uphold justice. I just want Yang Sijie to let me go, and let the people around me go. I don't have the responsibility like you to eradicate criminals. And I don't want to see him end up miserably."
The two of them fell into silence. Although they both felt they had done nothing wrong, when it came to personally sending Yang Sijie to a place of no return, their hearts still felt conflicted and distressed.
Susu believed that Su Kangxi was no longer the immature intern policeman he once was. After experiencing so much, he would be able to make the right decision.
At this moment, Yang Sijie walked over with the hot drinks he had bought. He naturally sat between them, handed them the drinks one by one, and then asked Susu with concern, "It's windy by the lake, aren't you cold?"
Susu held the hot drink and took a sip, but did not answer him.
Su Kangxi crossed his arms and pretended to be cold, joking, "Brother Sijie, why don't you care about me? I'm cold! Take off your jacket and give it to me."
Yang Sijie playfully reached out and patted his face, "You're a police officer, and you can't handle a little wind and rain? What kind of man are you?"
Su Kangxi pouted and said, "You're biased. You always use 'man' or 'little man' to brush me off. You don't even think about how much younger I am than you. You have no affection."
"So what? You're a little taller than me now. Do you still want me to carry you?" Yang Sijie teased him with a smile.
The two of them started to bicker and laugh. Susu watched them, and it reminded her of the good times they once had. She smiled at them, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Seeing Susu's long-lost smile, Yang Sijie, usually steady, became even more boisterous than Su Kangxi. He grunted and let her go to the restroom not far away.
A moment later, as she came out of the restroom, she saw a balloon vendor with colorful balloons appear next to her and was drawn to them.
Among the balloons of various colors and shapes, she fiddled with them, wanting to pick one to buy for fun. Suddenly, she heard someone behind her say in English, "Miss, this pink balloon is beautiful."
Susu turned around curiously, but the person behind her covered her mouth and nose.
The balloon vendor quickly released all the balloons in front of the van. Together with the person behind her, they forced her into the van.
She struggled fiercely, her eyes wide open, looking at the receding figures of Yang Sijie and Su Kangxi, who had stood up from the bench. She didn't know what they were talking about, and neither of them looked in her direction.
She couldn't call for help. After being dragged into the van, she lost consciousness.
The atmosphere between Yang Sijie and Su Kangxi was tense, and they didn't notice that Susu had been kidnapped.
When Susu got up to go to the restroom, Yang Sijie put away his smile and asked abruptly, "Kangxi, is your vacation coming to an end? When do you plan to return to Lancheng?"
Su Kangxi was slightly stunned for a second before replying, "I'll be going back in a few days."
"Have you booked your return ticket? Did you find what you were looking for?" Yang Sijie's gaze shifted, and he looked at him coldly.
Su Kangxi smiled and asked, "Brother Sijie, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Yang Sijie stopped looking at him and covered his face with his hands in pain, saying, "It seems you've got it. Give it to me. You shouldn't follow in Deng Rui's footsteps."
Su Kangxi knew something was wrong. While Yang Sijie was pretending, he quickly sent the pictures Susu had sent him to someone he trusted. He still smiled and said, "Brother Sijie, I really don't understand what you're talking about..."
"Su Kangxi! We are brothers, closer than brothers! How could you learn from those people and harm me!" Yang Sijie took his hands away and turned to glare at him, saying, "As long as you give me what you got, I won't hurt you. You can go."
Su Kangxi put the phone he was holding into his pocket. Knowing he had been exposed, there was no point in pretending anymore. He stood up from the bench and said, "Brothers? Then why did you use me, deceive me, and almost expose my undercover identity?"
Yang Sijie also stood up and pointed at him, saying, "Do you think you, a small undercover agent, can take down Boss Wei? I'm helping you, helping you gain his trust, you idiot!"
