"Good, all good." Susu wanted him to go back to Lancheng and look for Qin Tianyi, to see if he had gone abroad. "Kangxi, do you know that Yang Sijie has been arrested by foreign police? On what charges was he arrested? Where is he being held..."
"Who told you that? Who said Yang Sijie was arrested?" Su Kangxi interrupted her, looking bewildered.
If Yang Sijie had already been arrested and convicted, he wouldn't have applied to go abroad to get that evidence.
Susu stammered, "I heard, I heard Qin Tianyi say it. He should have reliable news."
"His source of information, where did it come from!" Su Kangxi asked, sensing something was wrong.
Seeing Su Kangxi's reaction, Susu felt panicked and said, "I don't really know where the specific news came from. What's going on? Has Yang Sijie been arrested?"
"No," Su Kangxi said with certainty. "He called me the night before yesterday, asking about your whereabouts."
Susu felt like she couldn't stand steady. Su Kangxi quickly supported her and asked, "Qin Tianyi, where is he? Where is he now?"
"Where he... where he is, I don't know either." Susu said blankly, blaming herself. "It's all my fault. I thought Yang Sijie was arrested and told him things I shouldn't have. He must have gone to find Yang Sijie. What can we do?"
"Does he know where Yang Sijie is?" Su Kangxi asked, even more shocked.
Susu looked at him and said, "If Yang Sijie wasn't arrested, then he's in New York?"
"Not necessarily. No one knows where Yang Sijie is now," Su Kangxi said with a serious expression. "Foreign police investigated an underground money exchange, and Yang Sijie is likely the mastermind behind it, but there's no conclusive evidence, so they can't arrest him. But he's very smart and vigilant. Once this happened, he disappeared, and no one knows his whereabouts now."
Susu tried to lean on Su Kangxi's strength to steady herself and said, "Then if Qin Tianyi goes abroad to find Yang Sijie now, it's like sending him to his death?"
Su Kangxi felt it was like sending him to his death, but he didn't respond to Sister Susu.
Susu could no longer afford to worry about anything else. She quickly took out her phone and dialed the number she knew by heart.
She got through, but Qin Tianyi didn't answer. She called several more times, but still, no one answered.
She had no choice but to text him, asking where he was, and sent many messages telling him not to abandon her and how much she wanted to see him, hoping he would reply.
Seeing her frantic, Su Kangxi said, "Why don't I ask my colleagues at the police station to help find him? If I can't find him, I'll go back to Lancheng to look for him myself. Don't worry, wait for my news. Even if he's going abroad, it won't be that fast. I will definitely stop him."
This was all they could do now. Susu nodded and said, "Okay."
But she always felt a great danger approaching them step by step. This time, she couldn't just sit back and wait. She couldn't let Yang Sijie control them so completely anymore.
Su Kangxi had something else to say and was reluctant to leave immediately. He said, "Sister Susu, tell Yanan to take care of herself. I... I want you to give her something." In fact, he really wanted to wait for Yanan to appear and see her one last time.
Susu saw him hesitate and asked, "Did something happen that made you want to see her this time?"
"Nothing," Su Kangxi took out the square velvet box from his pocket and handed it to Susu, saying, "If she doesn't like it, just throw it away."
Susu took the small square box and said, "Don't worry, I'll give it to her. But I guess she won't bear to throw it away."
"Sister Susu, please also tell her that I initially wanted to use her, but later I really thought about marrying her and being with her forever."
Susu felt like Su Kangxi was giving his last words before going to battle. She asked, "What exactly happened to you? Are you going undercover again?"
"No, there aren't that many undercover missions." Su Kangxi smiled slightly and was about to say goodbye to her.
Susu grabbed him and said, "No, you look like you're going and never coming back. Tell me the truth. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll go to the Lancheng police station right now and ask your superior why they always send you on such dangerous missions!"
"Sister Susu, no one is asking me to do anything dangerous. It's me myself..." Su Kangxi almost blurted everything out.
Susu pressed him, "What about yourself? I don't know what impulsive things Qin Tianyi might do now. If something happens to you again, I don't want to live either. I'll just go find Yang Sijie and fight him to the death. Even if I can't convict him, I can at least die with him!"
"Sister Susu, please don't do that. A colleague of mine has found evidence of Yang Sijie's crimes, but he's now in an uncertain state of life or death. However, before he disappeared, he sent me an email. Only I know where that evidence is. I have to go abroad to get that evidence to bring him to justice..."
"No, that's too dangerous. When I was abroad, although I didn't see him do anything illegal with my own eyes, I know he has a group of very capable people under him. Mark, who is always by his side, is very skilled. He used to be in the Marine Corps and has combat experience. Not to mention his other subordinates who don't show themselves much. You can't go, absolutely not!"
Su Kangxi, however, looked somewhat sad and asked with a pained expression, "Sister Susu, Brother Sijie... Is Yang Sijie really as terrifying as you say? We three grew up together as children. I still don't want to believe that the Yang Sijie you're talking about is the same person as Brother Sijie."
Susu was even more worried about him seeing his lingering hope for Yang Sijie. She said, "I don't know how he became like this. Even if he remembers some of his past affection for you, you're going to bring him to justice this time, so he definitely won't be merciful to you. You shouldn't go. Let your superior send someone else. With your personal feelings involved, it's really easy to get into trouble."
"But I want to go, I want to personally verify all of this that you've said. You know, back then in the orphanage, I was the youngest, and he was the oldest. He always protected us two. He was always my hero. I really can't let anyone else go get that evidence. I can't..." As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands, trying not to cry out of sadness.
Susu could completely understand his feelings now, just like when she first saw Yang Sijie's true colors. She also wished that Brother Sijie was still the Brother Sijie he used to be.
She suddenly had an idea. Grabbing his arm, she hoped he could be stronger and asked, "Kangxi, is your relationship with him still the same as before? He still doesn't know you've become suspicious of him and are going abroad to get evidence, right?"
