Chapter 178 Are you hiding something from me?
Upon hearing this, Grandma Tan's eyes widened, filled with heartache and confusion.
She looked Tan Zhengchu up and down, then glanced around the ward, and questioned, "Zhengchu, what's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital all of a sudden? And this hospital annex, it's so well-decorated, and the environment is weird. Are you hiding something from your mother?"
Lin Quan hurriedly stepped forward, helping Tan Zhengchu into the inner room while explaining to the old lady, "Grandma, don't worry, Mr. Tan has just been too tired lately. He came here for a check-up and to get some rest and recuperation."
Grandma Tan, however, remained skeptical, her brows furrowed as she followed Lin Quan's retreating figure, muttering to herself, "Why do I have a feeling you're hiding something from me? This isn't as simple as it seems."
Inside the room, Lin Quan carefully treated Tan Zhengchu's wounds.
The disinfectant was applied to Tan Zhengchu's wound, causing him to wince slightly in pain.
Outside, Liu Bao and Da Bao huddled together, their eyes filled with worry.
Liu Bao whispered to Da Bao, "Brother, judging from Daddy's complexion, it's definitely not just because he's tired. There's definitely something wrong with his health."
Da Bao nodded heavily, his expression grave. "I also feel something's not right. We need to keep a close eye on things."
Xiao Qi walked over with red eyes, grabbed Da Bao's arm, and asked in a tearful voice, "Big brother, is Daddy seriously ill? I'm so scared."
Liu Bao quickly comforted him, "Qi Bao, don't be afraid, Daddy will be fine. Let's take Great-Grandma and you home first. My older brother and I will stay here with Daddy and let you know immediately if anything happens."
Although Xiaoqi was reluctant, she nodded obediently and followed Grandma Tan out of the ward, turning back to look at her every step of the way.
Liu Bao sat in front of the computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard, the data on the screen flowing like water.
He was searching for Su Yingxue's location, muttering, "She must be safe and sound."
Da Bao, like a dutiful little guard, would occasionally walk to the glass door, stand on tiptoe, and observe Tan Zhengchu and Lin Quan's movements inside through the blurry glass.
Her eyes were filled with worry about her father's illness and wariness of the mysterious Wei Hao.
Da Bao came over anxiously and asked Liu Bao, "Sixth Brother, have you found Wei Hao's location yet? We have to catch him quickly and avenge Daddy."
Liu Bao didn't even look up, staring intently at the screen, and replied helplessly, "Not yet. This kid is hiding too well, but I'm sure I can find him. When Yin Meng tried to harm Mommy before, wasn't it me who ruined her plan?"
Meanwhile, after treating Tan Zhengchu's wounds, Lin Quan rushed to the Su family home without stopping.
Old Master Su had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Lin Quan arrive, he quickly got up to greet him.
Lin Quan bowed respectfully and said, "Old Master Su, Tan Zhengchu has lived up to expectations. They have safely rescued Su Yingxue from Zhao Da Kuang's clutches in Ruili City, Myanmar."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Su's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "Good, it's good that you're back! It's all thanks to you kids."
Lin Quan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Old Master Su: "Old Master, we want Wei Hao's information. Do you have it? He framed Tan Zhengchu."
Old Master Su thought for a moment, then carefully examined the documents. His expression gradually darkened. "Hmph, this Wei Hao, I never expected that even after being expelled, he would still dare to harm someone from my Su family. He must not be let off lightly."
Finally, they managed to find a document in the cabinet.
He handed it to Lin Quan, saying, "Take this back and give it to Liu Bao. That kid is clever; he might be able to find Wei Hao's hiding place from this information."
Lin Quan responded and hurriedly left with the documents.
A search for Wei Hao is underway.
……
Meanwhile, Tan Zhengmo and Su Yingxue began ordering food at the Tongxianghui Restaurant.
The store was bustling with noise and full of lively atmosphere.
Tan Zhengmo was familiar with the place and quickly ordered the dishes. Then his gaze fell on Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue, on the other hand, was like a wary cat, her eyes darting around the store.
He kept glancing at every corner, even the entrance and exit of the kitchen.
Tan Zhengmo noticed her unusual behavior, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked with some doubt, "Su Yingxue, what are you doing? Do you think the environment here is bad?"
Su Yingxue withdrew her gaze, gently shook her head, and calmly explained, "No, I just like to observe the terrain before going to a new place, so that I'll be prepared if anything happens. Besides, who knows, I might even run into Wei Hao here."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengmo smiled slightly with a hint of self-deprecation and patted his chest: "I thought you were worried about nothing. Eating here is absolutely safe. With me protecting you, you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind."
Su Yingxue glanced at him and said indifferently, "I'm not one to be afraid of spending money, you're overthinking it. But you, staying in Ruili City all this time, don't your family have any objections?"
Tan Zhengmo's eyes dimmed. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "My family... the situation is a bit complicated. My parents passed away early, and I later lived with my adoptive father. He had some connections here, and after he died, I stayed here. As for my eldest brother, Tan Zhengchu..."
He paused, a complex expression flashing across his face, "He won't let me go back, and I don't want to have a conflict with him, so I'll just stay here."
Su Yingxue's gaze was sharp, as if trying to pierce through his heart, and she pressed, "So, you can't go back because your elder brother stopped you?"
Tan Zhengmo avoided her gaze and scratched his head awkwardly: "I guess so, but it's not that simple."
As they were talking, Tan Zhengmo seemed to recall something sad, and his mood visibly dropped, his eyes slightly reddening.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue felt a pang of sadness and said softly, "I heard about your godfather's situation. Don't be too sad."
Tan Zhengmo was startled and looked up at her, his eyes full of doubt: "How do you know about my godfather?"
He wondered to himself, did Su Yingxue know the hidden story behind his godfather's death?
No, we can't let her get involved. The more she knows, the more dangerous it becomes.
Thinking of this, Tan Zhengmo quickly waved his hand, deliberately changing the subject.
He picked up his chopsticks, placed a piece of fish in Su Yingxue's bowl, and forced a smile: "Let's not talk about these troublesome things. Try the chopped chili fish head here. It's the restaurant's signature dish, and it's delicious."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk more, Su Yingxue did not press him further.
I lowered my head and tasted a piece of fish, and was instantly stimulated by the spicy flavor, which awakened my taste buds.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he exclaimed, "Mmm, it tastes really good, spicy enough, just my taste!"
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Tan Zhengmo's gloomy expression dissipated considerably, and the atmosphere finally eased temporarily.
But both of them knew in their hearts that the things they were hiding were like bombs buried underground, which might explode at any time.
