Oh my god! Why is the boss such a clingy person?

Chapter 171: Deep in the Quagmire

About 10 minutes later, Su Qingyan was asked to come out. His every move was closely monitored by two police officers in the ward.

"He's fine." Su Qingyan said simply to Zhou Cheng and Lu Ze.

Zhou Cheng knew that the situation was really tricky when he saw his poor acting of pretending to be relaxed, but at least there was no serious problem with Su Chonglin's physical condition, which was a blessing in disguise.

"Lu Ze, don't go looking for your dad anymore. It's really difficult to deal with him given his identity." On the way home, Su Qingyan said to Lu Ze who was driving.

Zhou Cheng held Su Qingyan's hand and looked at his worried face.

"With my limited ability, Old Lu would have ignored me a long time ago. Don't worry, I'll go find my sister and try to scam her."

No one can match Lu Ze's strength as a fool. Zhou Cheng saw Su Qingyan's face darken again and patted the back of his hand.

"Zhou Cheng, my dad is fine. You should go back and study as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer." Su Qingyan turned and looked at Zhou Cheng again.

Zhou Cheng knew Su Qingyan very well. The fact that he could say such things must mean that he wanted to face the trouble alone and didn't want too many people to be implicated.

"It's okay to take a period of leave there. I won't leave yet." Zhou Cheng didn't want to let Su Qingyan handle everything by herself.

"Zhou Cheng, I won't beat around the bush. My family is in a lot of trouble right now. It's due to my father's own reasons and his relationship with the Jiang family... In short, I don't want you to stay in the country any longer. I can't guarantee that they won't come to investigate you, and these things can't be resolved in a short time. Wait until everything is settled and your further studies will be over. You can come back then." Su Qingyan was unusually serious.

"What if they investigate me? I'm not afraid of being investigated." Zhou Cheng felt that Su Qingyan's reason was ridiculous. He hadn't done anything illegal, so why should he be afraid of this?

"It's not as simple as you think. I feel uneasy when you stay in the country. Can you continue your studies? " Su Qingyan used both soft and hard tactics and had never spoken in such a pleading tone before.

"Will I feel at ease if you leave yourself in the country?" Zhou Cheng frowned, his eyes filled with a mixture of worry and anger.

"Zhou Cheng, just listen to me this time, and I will listen to you from now on, okay?" Su Qingyan held Zhou Cheng's hand and turned to face him, her upper body leaning towards Zhou Cheng, her raised eyes misty.

"You..." Zhou Cheng has always been soft-hearted, and seeing that the usually arrogant Su Qingyan had lowered his posture so much, he directly took him into his arms.

"Doctor Zhou, just listen to him. If anything happens, come back."

"Don't talk nonsense. Nothing will happen. Just drive carefully." Zhou Cheng immediately changed his tone.

"Look, you said you're fine, so why are you worried? I'll be with Qing Yan, don't worry." Lu Ze thought for a moment and added, "And my dad and my sister are here, double insurance."

Zhou Cheng thought that these two insurances were Lu Ze's father and sister, and had nothing to do with Lu Ze himself.

Finally he compromised and booked a return ticket.

Not only because Su Qingyan kept begging, but Li Yu also received the news that he had returned, and told him again that this opportunity for further study was hard-won, and if he missed this one, there would be no such good opportunity in the near future.

Zhou Cheng knew that Li Yu had been focusing on training him recently, and he had always put work above everything else. Su Qingyan was right, he really couldn't help much in Mincheng. Since everyone wanted him to go back, after self-comfort, he accepted the reality.

On the day before leaving, Zhou Cheng repeatedly told Su Qingyan to tell him as soon as possible if there was any new progress. Su Qingyan nodded repeatedly, but Zhou Cheng's departure also indicated that he had truly fallen into an unfathomable quagmire.

Although Su Chonglin was undercover at the behest of Lu Jinshen and provided considerable evidence, his position in the Golden Triangle was also clearly seen by the higher-ups. Although he had made contributions, his merits were far from offsetting his faults.

Although Lu Jinshen caught the protector, the interests of too many people were affected. The complicated struggle between factions made it impossible for him to protect Su Chonglin and get away with it as he had promised before.

All of the Su family's industries in Xinghai were halted immediately. Mincheng was also closely tied to the Jiang family, so the severity of the incident escalated from an audit of the accounts to the temporary closure of the main company.

Su Qingyan also changed from Little General Su to an unemployed young man.

To make matters worse, not long after he had spent all his money at home, he was taken out for tea again.

After hearing the news, Lu Ze went to Su Qingyan's house as planned and got his cell phone. He planned to pretend to be Mr. Su for a few days to deal with Zhou Cheng temporarily.

Zhou Cheng's training at Massachusetts General Hospital went smoothly. Although he was delayed for a few days, he got back into shape immediately after returning, and his scores in all aspects were among the best among his peers. His solid theoretical foundation and excellent clinical skills made the department director favor him.

That day, he was led by the director to perform a very complicated liver transplant operation. It was already one o'clock in the morning when it was finished. It was afternoon in China. Zhou Cheng directly made a video call to invite Su Qingyan.

Since being separated by the Pacific Ocean, the two of them have been sending videos almost every day. Sometimes they are both busy with their own things and don't talk, but just hearing each other's breathing is like absorbing energy.

But today, Su Qingyan was slow to answer the video call. Zhou Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly dialed his number.

But again, no one answered.

When he was anxiously preparing to contact other people in the country, Su Qingyan sent him a message.

-The lawyer is here, wait a moment.

Zhou Cheng looked at these words and felt that something was wrong, so he replied.

-Ended contacting me.

The other party immediately responded with an OK gesture.

Zhou Cheng glanced at this expression that Su Qingyan had never shown before, and dialed the number again.

The call was quickly hung up, and then a new message came in.

-It's not convenient to answer now.

Zhou Cheng sneered, and became more certain of his thoughts. He tapped the screen of his mobile phone hard and typed a line of words.

-Where did Su Qingyan go?

Lu Ze had thought that he would be exposed, but he didn't expect that his true colors would be revealed after just a few words.

-...

-I am not the mastermind, I am just an accomplice who was threatened. I won't dare to do it again next time. Please be kind and forgive me. ????????????

Zhou Cheng dialed the number again.

"Doctor Zhou... spare my life..." Lu Ze immediately begged for mercy.

"Where did he go?" Zhou Cheng didn't have time to care about these.

"I went to the police station to assist in the investigation."

"How long have you been there?"

"Last night, it should have come out soon...right?"

"Is this what you call double insurance?"

Zhou Cheng's tone was so cold that Lu Ze trembled.

"It's just a routine question. He didn't want to make you anxious so he didn't plan to tell you. Can you pretend you don't know? Otherwise, I'll be in trouble when he gets out."

Zhou Cheng doesn't care at all whether Lu Ze can endure hardships or not, but how can Su Qingyan, who is usually so spoiled and precious, survive in the police station?
