She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 402: Chapter 412 How Dare They

”What’s wrong?” the office director shivered.

”Nothing, keep going! Did that educated youth marry Sheng Laosan?” Su Hai asked through gritted teeth.

”I really don’t know about that! I know that the wife Sheng Laosan married was in her second marriage. I really don’t know anything else! Maybe Sheng Laosan never married that educated youth, so the Sheng family girl is an illegitimate daughter?” The office director carefully thought about it, having no recollection of Sheng Laosan’s previous marriage.

”Hey! I actually don’t know much, just heard bits and pieces when visiting the countryside. If you really want to know, you should ask around in the village. It didn’t happen long ago; many people know about it.”

”Good! Tomorrow, help me keep an eye on my sister and make sure she doesn’t go anywhere,” Su Hai instructed, not wanting to take any chances.

”Rest assured, I’ll take care of it.” After today’s trip to the countryside, the office director had it all figured out. Su Yun was a bit of a loose cannon, but listening to Su Hai was a safe bet.

”Thank you!” Su Hai nodded, resolving to visit the village personally the next day.

*****

Early the next morning, Su Hai called Su Jiang again.

Su Jiang also let loose a barrage of anger over the phone.

Su Hai was the youngest in the family, a full fifteen years younger than Su Jiang, who had never scolded him his entire life. It seemed as if he was making up for the decades in one go.

Su Hai touched his nose, his expression helpless.

”Are you even listening to me?” Su Jiang, having railed for quite a while and getting no reply, was even more infuriated.

”I’m listening!”

”Then why don’t you respond? After all the scolding, anyone who didn’t know better would think I’m talking to the air.”

”Brother, Dad just scolded me last night, and now you too. What do you want me to say? That your scolding is justified?”

”You blockhead, you can’t even find your niece. Don’t you think you deserve to be scolded? I ask you, have you ever threatened Sheng Ning? Have you ever bullied anyone because of your status?” Su Jiang asked through clenched teeth.

Su Hai thought back and felt quite aggrieved. At most, he’d only schemed against the girl once, and that couldn’t really be called bullying, right?

”No!” someone flatly denied.

”Really? You think I’m that easy to fool? Why would the girl hate our family if there was nothing?”

Su Hai paused, then speculated, ”I think maybe the girl has known about her own background for a long time and just can’t forgive our family because she was abandoned by my sister when she was little?”

Su Jiang was silent for a long time on the phone then sighed, ”That’s very possible. The investigation I ordered has already yielded results. It should have been delivered to the guest house by now.”

Right after Su Jiang finished speaking, there was a knock on Su Hai’s door.

He hung up the phone and walked to the door where a young man greeted Su Hai.

Su Hai’s pupils shrunk slightly; his brother had actually sent out Southern Border Rescue Field’s jungle warfare scout king. This was the only person in the Southern region who could rival Living Yama.

When had his brother deployed such a powerful trump card? It seemed he had anticipated the complexity of the situation early on.

Indeed, the older ginger is spicier.

”Hello Director Su, this is from our leader, please take a look.”

”Thank you!” Su Hai took a kraft paper bag.

Upon closing the door, Su Hai casually opened the kraft paper bag. As he saw the contents, his brow furrowed deeply.
