Chapter 274 - Suyins friend (2/2)
Zhao Shu, ”Evidence against Wangs? When? When did you last met her?”
”Around four days back. In her office. Minister Yuan was their as well.” Sean said, ”Now that I recall, her mood does seem off that day. Though she didn't tell me the reason, she was not by herself.”
Si Han, ”That's the day she disappeared. But she mentioned nothing about it in her last ca--” Zhao Shu pressed at her hand, hinting something. Wu Sean frowned.
”Wait. Y-You are the minister of law and justice, Mr. Wu Sean?” Zhao Shu said, ”Pardon me, I didn't recognise you.”
”It's fine. I came here not as a minister but as her good friend. This is our third project together, and--” he made a deliberate pause, ”-- and the most dangerous. But rest assured, I will send my elite team to search for her ASAP. As far as the Wangs are concerned, I won't let any harm touch her. But Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, you must help me as well. If you know anything that can help me find her, please tell me. Anything can be helpful. Anything. Wang Shi had been Susu's boyfriend and knows her weakness very well. You get to help me.”
Si Han and Zhao Shu hesitated.
”It's fine. I can understand. Why would you put your trust in a stranger?” Sean stood, adjusted his coat, ”I'll take my leave. Will keep you informed.” He spun towards the door, a smirk plastered at his face.
”Wait.” Si Han took two fast strides--

In his arrogant triumph, the left side of Wu Sean's lips tugged upwards. His visit to the Suyin's house was fruitful. As expected of the wounded tigress. Instead of mourning in the corner over her dead cub, she had taken a few steps back only to launch with all her might and kill the enemy in a single attack.
So Suyin had not disappeared, but she had hid herself, preparing evidence against the Wangs. And it's only her parents who know about it. Not even her best friend and brother.
”Oh, Suyin, you will never stop surprising me. That's the reason I like you so much. You are so unpredictable.” A ring on his phone caught his attention, his jubilant mood turning off. His father. ”Situation is under control. Will tell you once I reach.”

”So, how was it?” Soon after Wu Sean left, James entered Suyin's house. He fixed his hair in the reflection of a painting at the wall, ”Do you think I can make a career in Hollywood?”
”Flop career.” Zeng tapped James' head, and shut the door after him. ”And please change the ketchup brand, this one's sweet. I want something tangy.”
”That's Susu's favourite. No one's changing it. Go get another for yourself.”
”No thanks for the advice.” Zeng stick out his tongue at James, and rested his head on Si Han's shoulder, ”But mom, you definitely deserve an Oscar. My drama queen!”
James, ”I agree. Suyin definitely inherited everything from mom, other than her looks. Right, s.e.xy lady?” Zhao Shu growled at James for using that endearment for his wife.
Si Han, ”Don't let your guards down. Suyin already knew that Wu Sean would come after us to inquire about her, that's why she had warned us before. Be ready, he will come back once Suyin start with her plan.”
”Um, about that--” James ran a hand through his hair, his eyes averting in hesitation, ”--I won't be with you guys. I'm leaving for France two days from now.”
”You found a clue about Evan?” Zeng questioned. James nodded. ”I'm coming with you. This could be helpful to Suyin.”
