Lu Jie's expression froze. After a while, he forced a smile. "Miss Yun, what do you mean? Why would I enjoy it?"
Su Yan sneered. "Lawyer Lu, I'm not stupid. I'm not as brainless as Zhao Ling. Do you think I don't know your tricks?" Under Lu Jie's increasingly ugly expression, Su Yan said, "You're in cahoots with them. Do you think I don't know? It's hard to memorize scripts at the last minute, right?"
Lu Jie's sense of discrepancy was too strong, and his conversation with her was too rigid. It feels a lot like he's reading from a script. The kidnapping this time was not dangerous for Su Yan. She was able to push Shi Qing's wheelchair out the moment she was freed.
"What should we do with these people?" Su Yan asked.
"Send them to the police station," Shi Qing said calmly. "I will get someone to take good care of them."
Su Yan also sighed. "I thought that we would follow the clues and catch that Yun family member. I didn't expect them to have a falling out either."
Shi Qing tilted his head slightly and listened attentively.
"One of the kidnappers felt that the Yun family's price was not enough and wanted to go back on his word." Su Yan said and suddenly paused. "When they were on the phone just now, I thought I heard my adoptive father's voice."
"Su Heng?"
Su Yan acknowledged softly.
Shi Qing beckoned for Xu Xin to investigate where Su Heng had gone this afternoon and who he had met, especially just now. Not long after, the results of Xu Xin's investigation came out. Su Heng brought his family and Su Yan to Zhao Ling's appointment that night. Su Yan and Zhao Ling left first while Su Heng's family only just ended.
"They were in the hotel that Zhao Ling invited me to?" Su Yan felt that she had miscalculated, she almost caught that Yun family member.
Shi Qing patted Su Yan's hand reassuringly. "Go check the surveillance cameras nearby and see where that guy is hiding."
Shi Qing sent Su Yan home, by the time she reached the Su residence, it was almost dawn. Shi Qing was worried that Su Yan would be in danger if she stayed there, so he tried to persuade her to stay with him.
However, Su Yan stopped Shi Qing before he could speak. "I'll be fine. There's a restriction on my father's inheritance. If I die in an accident, the inheritance will automatically be donated to charity. Those people won't do something so futile." Before alighting from the car, Su Yan shyly planted a kiss on Shi Qing's cheek and whispered, "I've stamped my seal, you can't let anyone kiss you in the future."
Shi Qing was stunned. It was only when the smell of the girl dissipated from the car that Shi Qing slowly reached out to touch the spot where the girl had just kissed. It was warm and ticklish, all the way to Shi Qing's heart.
Su Heng and the other two were waiting in the living room when she returned. However, their expressions were somewhat distorted.
She didn't know if she should say that they were jealous or trying to please her.
Seeing that Su Yan had returned, Mother Su was the first to speak. She coughed first, then said in a sweet voice, "Xiao Yan is back? Why are you back so late? Are you tired from playing outside?"
Su Heng also poured a cup of tea for Su Yan and passed it over with a smile.
Su Yan looked at them coldly, she could clearly see how heartless this family was. Are they buttering her again because she had some use to them?
After Su Yan sat down, Su Qian approached her. "Big sister, our coming-of-age ceremony is in two weeks."
Su Yan raised her head and looked at Su Qian, not understanding what she meant.
Su Qian bit her lip. "I- I think we should hold our coming-of-age ceremony together." Even now, Su Qian could not forget how that man had called all the big shots of City A over just to rehearse for Su Yan's coming-of-age ceremony, her heart had been moved.
Su Yan did not respond and continued to look at her with a faint smile. The smile on Su Qian's face also became more and more stiff. It was only when she could no longer hold her smile and turned into a crying and smiling expression that Su Yan finally looked away.
"Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush." Su Yan looked at Mother Su, who awkwardly averted her gaze. Su Yan then looked at Su Heng.
Su Heng, who was being watched, wasn't afraid. He said matter-of-factly, "There's a problem with my company. We need funds, you have to help me." Then, he added, "It's your sister and your birthday. You can have your coming-of-age ceremony on the same day. Since you're going to have a big one, you can have one together with your sister."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. The familiar feeling returned. "Father, wasn't your brain normal a few days ago? Why is it suddenly broken again today?" Then, she stood up again and said condescendingly, "You do remember that the Su family hasn't gone bankrupt for so many years because of me, so you can treat this as my repayment for raising me. From now on, I'm doing you a favor if you ask me for something because it's not my duty anymore."

After speaking, she looked at the three of them and pointed at the necklace on Su Qian's neck. "If I remember correctly, this necklace belongs to my biological mother, right?"
