Chapter 587: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (126)
Even though Cao Shixun moved quickly, he was still a step late and lost the initiative.
When he rushed to the Secret Service Office, Su Yanqing had already been helped out by his father Cao Ce's men.
Looking at his cousin in front of him, Cao Shixun felt a little guilty.
The once elegant and graceful scholar was now covered in blood, and the glasses he always wore were nowhere to be found.
Faced with Su Xiangran's condemning gaze, Cao Shixun could only pretend indifference and turn his head away.
"Father, it's inappropriate for you to bring my cousin out like this." Cao Shixun knew that the person who could control the situation at this time was Cao Ce. "Now that my cousin is under suspicion, I'm afraid that your actions will be in conflict with the higher-ups..."
Cao Ce's face darkened: "How dare you be so cruel to my nephew on my territory? It's not that I don't cooperate with the actions of my superiors, but someone is slapping me in the face!"
"Cousin, my brother is unconscious and has a high fever. If he continues to stay here, he will die." Su Xiangran's tone was extremely anxious, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Faced with Su Xiangran's rare request to him, Cao Shixun felt warmed in his heart and had an urge to listen to her in everything, but he also knew that this was a good time to control her.
The moment he saw Cao Ce's cold face, Cao Shixun told himself to wait a little longer. However, his cousin had already given in, so there was no need to push too hard, otherwise it might backfire.
Moreover, with his father present, even if he wanted to lock Su Yanqing up again, it would be impossible for the time being.
Therefore, Cao Shixun did not try to stop his father from taking his cousin away.
Su Yanqing was sent to the hospital where Su Xiangran worked. Fortunately, he only had superficial injuries. After taking medicine, he showed obvious signs of improvement.
The next day, Su Yanqing finally regained consciousness. He looked at his sister who was guarding his bedside, and thought that all he had taken on would protect her from harm, so Su Yanqing asked himself, "Do you regret it?"
"Brother, are you awake?" Su Xiangran woke up immediately when she felt someone touching her hair. She immediately put her hand on Su Yanqing's wrist and breathed a sigh of relief after a moment.
Su Yanqing felt that his sister was a little too worried. He wanted to comfort Su Xiangran with a smile, but this action involved his wound, and all his words turned into a hissing sound.
Su Xiangran looked at the other person's funny appearance and wanted to laugh, but the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably.
"Don't cry! I'm fine." Su Yanqing was a little flustered for a moment and wanted to get up to comfort her, but his body didn't allow it.
Of course Su Xiangran would not agree to let him get out of bed, so she quickly pushed him back into bed.
"Brother, don't move. Listen to me first." Su Xiangran felt that she should say something to divert the other party's attention.
Su Yanqing was pushed back by his sister. He didn't realize that his sister seemed to be much stronger than a normal girl, but he still said obediently: "You talk, I listen."
"Brother, you can't stay in Hai City anymore." Su Xiangran told him her thoughts, "Logically speaking, with the relationship with the Cao family,
Even if this is suspicious, you shouldn't be treated like this, but they still dare to do it, which means they have something to rely on."
Su Yanqing pursed his lips, thought of a possibility, and felt a little uncomfortable.
When Song Chengjing got into trouble, wasn't it someone's doing?
"Brother, do you still think he is worthy of forgiveness?" Looking at her brother Su Yanqing's changing expression, Su Xiangran suddenly said, "But in my opinion, he not only abandoned the morality between friends, but also betrayed our country."
If it was just that he was sorry for himself, Su Yanqing might be able to find excuses for the other party, but once it rose to the level of national justice, he could not let it go so easily.
"But we are too weak." Su Yanqing sighed softly, "Although I think my choice is not wrong, I don't have the ability to fight hard yet."
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. One day we will succeed." Su Xiangran said firmly. She had seen that prosperous era, and although she could not tell Su Yanqing about what she had seen and heard, she still wanted him to have more confidence in the promising future.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Su Xiangran took out a small porcelain bottle from her handbag, "Brother, you must leave Hai City as soon as possible. I can confirm the route and method of leaving with your comrades. There is no time to waste, and we must make plans early."
Unexpectedly, Su Yanqing shook his head and said, "I can't leave like this. This will implicate you."
"So I made all the necessary preparations." Su Xiangran handed the pill to her brother Su Yanqing, "After taking it, your body will have a high fever again, and then I can ask you to go to another city for medical treatment.
Your people will take you away halfway, but you have to be quick, as this pill will only last for three days, and during this time you must keep replenishing water.
Drinking water has a slow effect, you can try an IV drip, and if you really can't hold on, take the antidote I gave you."
