Chapter 33

As night deepened, the wealthy district of Jiuxi Rose Garden seemed like a child tired from playing during the day, sinking into a deep sleep. Only a few villas in the vast villa area had lights on, making the area unusually quiet.

Villa No. 1 of the Su family was one of them.

Inside the villa, Su Hongyuan sat on the sofa, gently putting down his phone, his expression slightly weary, but more filled with worry.

The worry stemmed from the fact that he had just called a high-ranking official in the police force, who told him that he was unaware of the progress of the case.

This result directly caused Su Hongyuan's worry to rise sharply.

Because... he was very clear that, given that person's identity and status, it was not just a case of assault; even drug trafficking and murder cases should be known to him.

Now, that person's lack of knowledge about the case's progress could only mean one thing: the case's level had been elevated, and it was likely taken over by another special department.

"Grandfather, how is it going?"

Seeing Su Hongyuan's frown deepen after the call, Su Yuxin and Su Liuli's worry grew even more, with Su Liuli unable to hold back and asking.

"Doctor Ye is probably in grave danger."

Su Hongyuan sighed. At this point, he had almost ruled out the possibility of Chu Ji taking action to help Ye Fan, after all, if Chu Ji had used her connections to help, that person should have known.

"Uh..."

Hearing Su Hongyuan's words, Su Liuli pouted, not knowing what to say, and instinctively turned her gaze to Su Yuxin, her eyes filled with worry.

Under Su Liuli's gaze, Su Yuxin's weak body trembled slightly, and her eyes dimmed.

It felt as if she had been struck by a major blow.

"Liuli, call Jin Di again and see if you can get through."

Despite the passing time and the repeated crushing of her hopes, Su Yuxin did not give up. She tried to keep a clear head, "Jin Di is at the police station entrance. If someone from another department took Doctor Ye away, he should have seen it."

Su Liuli nodded and picked up her phone to call Su Jin Di.

"Still can't get through."

Su Liuli put down her phone, and the pleasant voice of the automated message could be heard clearly by everyone.

"Grandfather, is there really no way at all?" Seeing that they couldn't contact Su Jin Di, Su Yuxin turned to Su Hongyuan.

Under the light, her delicate brows were knitted together, her pale face filled with worry, her lips lightly bitten, and her bright eyes shimmering with hope.

At this moment, she was no longer the cold-faced CEO in the eyes of the upper class in Jiangnan. Her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

She had experienced this feeling once before.

Not when her father died and her family was oppressed and bullied by Su Ming and Su Feiyu, but after she was given a death sentence by experts from major hospitals around the world.

At that time, it felt as if she was being dragged to hell by Death, and no matter how she struggled, it was in vain.

Until Ye Fan appeared, using treatment methods that she and everyone else found unbelievable, to save her from the clutches of Death.

Now, she was experiencing this feeling again.

For Ye Fan.

"From what we can see, there is no way."

Seeing Su Liuli's helpless appearance, Su Hongyuan felt a pang of guilt and did not say his true thoughts, but lied, "However, perhaps Chu Ji doesn't know about this yet, and if she does, she might take action."

"Why don't we call Sister Chu?" Su Liuli suggested excitedly.

Su Yuxin shook her head lightly, "Miss Chu used a public phone to call us that day. I've already tried, but I can't get through."

Hearing this, Su Liuli wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant.

Su Hongyuan looked troubled. With his connections, it was possible to find Chu Ji's private number, but he dared not make the call.

Firstly, the incident was caused by the conflict between Ye Fan and Gou Wei, and the Gou family was one of the Su family's important partners, with Su Feiyu even involved.

More importantly, since the incident, the Su family had done nothing!

In such a situation, he believed that even if they could contact Chu Ji to save Ye Fan, Chu Ji would not let Ye Fan treat Su Liuli again and might even punish the Su family.

Just as Su Hongyuan was in a dilemma, the sound of a car engine turning off came from outside the villa.

"Master, the Young Master has returned." Butler Fu walked in from the door, bowed, and reported.

Su Hongyuan nodded, while Su Yuxin and Su Liuli turned their gazes to the door.

For some reason, whether out of guilt or something else, Su Feiyu did not dare to look at Su Yuxin and Su Liuli when he entered the villa. Instead, he quickly walked to Su Hongyuan, bowed, and said, "Grandfather."

"What exactly happened tonight?"

Su Hongyuan asked coldly, though Su Feiyu had told him he was not involved, he was still somewhat uneasy.

"Tonight, I went to the CC Bar with Gou Wei to have a drink. We ran into Jin Di and Doctor Ye. I wanted to invite Doctor Ye to join us, but he didn't come to our private room."

Su Feiyu hesitated but did not dare to tell the truth, planning to hide it for as long as possible, "After Gou Wei and I finished drinking, he left the bar first. For some reason, whether he was drunk or not, he almost hit Doctor Ye with his car and got into an argument with him."

"Did you instruct Gou Wei to hit Doctor Ye with his car?" Su Liuli said coldly.

"No."

Su Feiyu felt inexplicably nervous and denied it instinctively, then quickly added, "When I saw Gou Wei and Doctor Ye arguing, I tried to mediate, but Doctor Ye hit Gou Wei."

"Jin Di was there at the time."

At the end, to increase his credibility, Su Feiyu brought up Su Jin Di as a witness, and decided that even if Gou Wei said he was instructed, he would firmly deny it!

It must be said that Su Feiyu's plan was well thought out. At least, after hearing that Su Jin Di was there, Su Hongyuan's suspicion decreased significantly.

Unlike Su Hongyuan, Su Liuli was convinced that Su Feiyu was lying, but without evidence, she could not say anything.

Su Yuxin, however, frowned deeply.

It seemed that, to her, she was not at all concerned about whether Su Feiyu was involved in the incident.

She only cared about whether Ye Fan was in trouble.

"Grandfather, why don't you call Uncle Gou and smooth things over?"

Seeing that no one was speaking, Su Feiyu decided to act the part to the end, pretending to know nothing and 'kindly' suggested, "I'm sure if you intervene, Uncle Gou will no longer pursue the matter. As long as Uncle Gou doesn't pursue it, we can find someone to get Doctor Ye out. This way, it won't affect Doctor Ye's treatment of Sister Yuxin."

"Su Feiyu, you don't know that Doctor Ye injured a police officer?"

Su Liuli stared intently at Su Feiyu's eyes. For some reason, the more Su Feiyu showed concern for Ye Fan and Su Yuxin, the more Su Liuli felt that Su Feiyu was up to something.

"Ah—"

It must be said that Su Feiyu's acting skills were quite impressive. Hearing Su Liuli's words, he appeared very surprised, "Doctor Ye injured a police officer? How is that possible??"

"If he hadn't injured a police officer, I would have saved him already." Su Hongyuan frowned, looking helpless.

Seeing that Su Hongyuan was willing to save Ye Fan, or more accurately, to save Su Yuxin, regardless of the Gou family's feelings, Su Feiyu felt a bit uncomfortable.

However—

When he thought that Ye Fan had already been sentenced to death, he couldn't help but glance at Su Yuxin out of the corner of his eye, sneering inwardly: Even if the old man uses all the Su family's resources to save you, you are destined to die young!

"Buzz... buzz..."

Just as Su Feiyu was sneering inwardly, the sound of a sports car's engine suddenly came from outside.

Under the night sky, Su Jin Di's sleek Lamborghini, like a steel monster, rushed to the villa entrance, performed a cool drift, and came to a steady stop.

The car stopped, and the scissor doors slowly opened. Ye Fan and Su Jin Di stepped out one after the other.

Seeing this, Butler Fu's eyes lit up, and he turned and walked back into the villa, excitedly saying, "Master, the Second Young Master and Doctor Ye are back!"

Doctor Ye is back?

Hearing Butler Fu's words, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Whether it was Su Yuxin and Su Liuli, or Su Hongyuan and Su Feiyu, they were all stunned by this unexpected news.

Could... could it be that Chu Ji took action?

The same thought flashed through the minds of Su Hongyuan, Su Yuxin, and Su Liuli almost simultaneously.

Swish!

As the thought emerged, they all stood up excitedly.

How could this guy come out?

At the same time, Su Feiyu, as if hearing the most unbelievable thing in the world, stared at the door in shock.

At this moment, he even suspected that his ears were playing tricks on him!

Was it an illusion?

Soon, under the gaze of the four, Ye Fan and Su Jin Di appeared at the villa entrance.

Seeing Ye Fan, Su Hongyuan let out a deep breath, and Su Yuxin's pale face showed uncontrollable excitement!

Even Su Liuli was so excited that her body trembled!

Though she and Ye Fan did not see eye to eye, and she believed he was a rogue, she knew that Ye Fan was the only one who could treat Su Yuxin's illness.

In such a situation, she naturally did not want anything to happen to Ye Fan.

In contrast, Su Feiyu wished Ye Fan would die and be reborn sooner.

Now, seeing Ye Fan appear unharmed at the villa entrance, he stood there like a statue, his mind filled with one question: How... how did he get out?
