The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 83: The Poisonous Childhood Friend (12)

Shi Shen’s mother returned without achieving anything.

In this matter, although Su Li had not taken the initiative to speak out about these troublesome incidents, she wasn’t worried that her parents would be kept in the dark.

At the scene, aside from herself, there was also a driver.

This driver had been with Su Chaoyang for many years, and even Su Li had to address him as "uncle."

This driver uncle recounted everything that happened, down to the last detail, without missing a single word, to both Su Chaoyang and Hua Xiuxiu.

On the spot, Su Chaoyang tore up several important documents, while Hua Xiuxiu was so furious that she smashed several porcelain dishes and bowls.

How dare she...

Unlike Su Chaoyang’s anger, Hua Xiuxiu felt more regret, self-blame, and guilt. She always felt that it was she who had brought her in, and no matter how Su Li and Su Chaoyang tried to console her, it didn’t work.

Coincidentally, Su Li’s investigation into the Ye Family was also nearing its end.

Originally, their tails weren’t so easy to catch, but it was hard to sustain with a Ye Family that didn’t teach their kids well.

There was no need to mention Lady Ye Ruolan, who, after seeing no progress from Shi Shen for a long time, initially made up the story about her health problems to deceive Shi Shen. But now, it had actually become a reality.

Her latest medical report came out, and many of her health indicators were much higher than before. The desire to live had robbed her of her usual calm.

She hadn’t expected Shi Shen to be so useless; in the end, she still had to take matters into her own hands.

Ye Ruolan had her father’s assistant help her with this matter. After all, it was against the law and morality, and they didn’t dare to bring it to light.

This assistant was highly trusted by Ye Ruolan’s father, and many secretive matters were handled by him. Ye Ruolan was also very reassured entrusting this extremely important matter to him.

Under Ye Ruolan’s instructions, the assistant had already bribed some people close to Su Li. It might seem that these people couldn’t normally get in touch with Su Li directly, but at a critical moment, a little tampering to create a natural accident was quite easy.

However, to Su Li, who had been keeping an eye on them all along, these moves were as transparent as glass.

And Ye Ruolan’s brother was even more outrageous. He ruined people outside and then used the Ye Family’s power to suppress the matter.

And the one who handled this was the same Mr. Assistant.

Su Li handed over all the evidence of the Ye Family’s behind-the-scenes actions to her father, making everything that followed much simpler. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

After all, she was someone with parents to protect her; there was no need for her to face challenges alone.

Su Chaoyang was more experienced and skilled at dealing with these matters than she was.

Soon, that assistant was controlled by people sent by Su Chaoyang.

Originally, Su Chaoyang just wanted to bite a piece off the Ye Family’s fat profits, but after controlling the assistant, he learned something that made him hate them to the bone.

They even planned to harm his precious daughter.

In business, it is a principle of Su Chaoyang to leave some leeway, but this time, faced with their appalling actions, he could no longer care about that.

If he didn’t demolish the Ye Family, he wouldn’t do justice to the title of a father.

After returning from Su Li’s place with nothing, Shi Shen’s mother didn’t even notify Shi Shen before she went back to her hometown. There, she went through the transaction process and undervalued their old house, which they had lived in for many years, and sold it. With just enough money, Father Shi and Mother Shi rushed to their son’s side.

Now, they only wanted to tell their son not to worry; with the house sold, they could still support his treatment for the time being.

Their son, whom they had cherished and cultivated with so much effort over the years, was still very precious to Father Shi and Mother Shi.

Su Li giving a kidney donation himself was an utterance Shi Shen couldn’t bring himself to make, but still, he used his schemes to get his own mother to run around for him.

Yet, among all of this, he hadn’t told her the truth, leaving his parents to believe he was truly gravely ill.

At this point, he really couldn’t care about anything else, as Ye Ruolan’s demands grew increasingly urgent, even carrying a hint of threat.

Now a passenger on this vessel of thieves, Shi Shen had no choice but to continue his charade.

What he least expected while doing all this was that the other party had actually left him vulnerable.

With just a flick of their finger, they could make him fall from grace with effortless ease.

One really couldn’t afford even a single thought of error, because once entangled, it could be a point of no return.

"Mom, how did it go with Su Li? Did she agree?"

"No."

"But, Ah Zhi, don’t worry, our family still has some money."

"Mom, it’s not about the money, it’s..."

"I know, but now that girl is unwilling, we have to think of other ways for now, let’s go to the hospital first..."

A clear and obvious restlessness could be seen on Shi Shen’s face as he paced back and forth in the room incessantly, "It’s not about that..."

Shi Mu was about to say more when her phone rang.

"What... all the money’s gone, what do you mean?" Shi Shen’s mother’s voice became piercingly sharp like a chicken being strangled and then fell into an endless silence.

The silence piled up layer by layer, and with her mouth agape, shaking uncontrollably like a drowning person crying out for the last time.

Her fingers could barely hold the phone, her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.

Shi Shen, who was nearby, noticed his mother’s abnormal state and quickly helped her to the side, "Mom, what happened to you?"

Hearing her son’s voice, Shi Mu was momentarily pulled back from the abyss, suddenly finding her pillar of strength.

She clutched Shi Shen’s arm tightly, digging her fingernails in with force, pinching through his clothes deep into his flesh.

Shi Shen’s not-so-fragile arm was unexpectedly caused a twinge of pain by Shi Mu’s grip, which was a testament to how strong her grip was.

"Ah Zhi, the money from selling the house is gone..."

Shi Shen asked agape with astonishment, "Selling the house? Why in the world would you sell the house?"

He had completely forgotten that it was he who had led his parents to mistakenly believe he was seriously ill.

"What about your illness then."

With Shi Mu’s wails, Shi Shen was abruptly reminded of the colossal lie he had told.

Now, he didn’t dare mention to his parents that his body was actually healthy.

He turned and could only ask anxiously, "What happened? How could so much money be gone just like that?"

Shi Mu, already in a panic beyond knowing what to do, managed to convey a rough outline of what Father Shi had said on the phone, in fits and starts under Shi Shen’s persistent questioning.

Shi Shen frowned tightly, "The money was stolen via the bank card, let’s report the theft immediately."

Shi Mu continued, "Your dad also said that he lost his job because something he did caused the company to incur losses, and we need to compensate for that part... so he thought to use the money from selling the house to cover it first. But today, when he went to withdraw money from the bank, he found out that not a single cent was left."

The loss of Father Shi’s job paled in comparison to the evaporation of a substantial sum of money.
