Chapter 104 Paying murder to kill someone
The next morning, Su Mo, who had waited anxiously all night without receiving any news, was extremely irritable and found fault with everything. She took a sip of the coffee the housekeeper had just brewed for her, spat it out, and frowned, saying, "What kind of coffee is this?"
The housekeeper lowered her head nervously and said cautiously, "These are Blue Mountain coffee beans I bought online..." Before she could finish, Su Mo interrupted her, "Didn't you buy them from a specialty store?"
The aunt slowly shook her head. "No! When I went to buy them, they were already sold out. The next batch won't arrive for another two weeks, so I figured buying them online would be just as good, and that's why I bought some."
"Bang!" Su Mo threw the coffee cup and coffee into the sink. "Can something bought online be the same as something bought in a specialty store? I'm the young lady of the Su family. How can coffee bought online be worthy of my status?"
The aunt remained silent, her decision to buy coffee beans online was a gamble. She'd been delayed by something and arrived late, only to find the store out of stock. She'd have to wait until next week. But her home stock wasn't enough to last until then, so she decided to buy online, hoping Su Mo might be in a good mood and not mind. But fate had other plans, coinciding with Su Mo being in a bad mood!
We have no choice but to accept our fate!
She's been a housekeeper for many years, and what kind of temperamental young ladies haven't she encountered? Su Mo is just one of them!
"Get that cheap stuff out of my house right now!" Su Mo got angry as soon as she saw the coffee beans. She even took a sip, and although she didn't swallow it, she felt her mouth was dirty. "This is your dereliction of duty, so your bonus for this month will be deducted. If it happens again, you're fired!" After saying that, she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She really couldn't stand it anymore!
After Su Mo left, the housekeeper silently spat out a curse before starting to pack her things.
Su Mo brushed her teeth three times in the bathroom before she felt that the strange taste in her mouth was gone. She took a handkerchief to wipe her face, and just as she came out of the bathroom, she heard her phone ring. She went over to look and saw that it was a call from Young Master Gu.
"Hey, darling, you missed me so early?" Su Mo asked gently with surprise, completely unlike her angry self just now.
Young Master Gu was delighted to hear Su Mo say that. "Yes, I missed you! I was thinking of asking you out for breakfast, but I don't know if you have time?"
"Really?" Su Mo's tone was overjoyed, but her expression was somewhat annoyed; she hadn't received any news yet!
"Of course it's true! I'm already waiting downstairs." It was rare for Young Master Gu to think of inviting Su Mo to breakfast, but the engagement day between Su Qi and Young Master Wen was getting closer and closer, and his family was getting anxious, urging him to settle things as soon as possible.
"I'll change my clothes and come down right away!" Now that he was downstairs, Su Mo felt too embarrassed to refuse. Before she got Hua Gengchen, she wouldn't easily give up on Gu Dashao as her backup plan.
Young Master Gu said gentlemanly, "Take your time, no rush!" He had a pretty good impression of Su Mo. She didn't cause much trouble, was a typical gentlewoman from a good family, a virtuous wife and loving mother, and wouldn't interfere too much in his affairs. Although she occasionally had some selfish motives, he also benefited from them, so Young Master Gu could accept it.
Gu Shao also wanted his family to settle down as soon as possible, and Su Mo was his first choice.
After hanging up the phone, Su Mo clicked her tongue, feeling uneasy as if something bad was about to happen. She thought for a moment and then called Su Chengjun, "Have you received any news?" She was really worried because there hadn't been any news all night.
Su Chengjun said, "I don't have any news on my end!" He had also waited all night, but nothing came of it. He even unusually checked the North City News while eating breakfast, but he didn't find anything there either. "Don't rush. At this critical moment, we need to stay calm and not reveal any weaknesses."
"But I'm not sure! Logically speaking, Su Bai's accident is a big deal, there's no reason why we haven't heard anything at all." Su Mo said anxiously, "Even if there's no news from Su Bai, that other person should have sent some news by now. We haven't received any news yet, does that mean the plan failed?"
"Don't overthink it!" Su Chengjun comforted him, "With Su Bai's current status, even if something happens, it won't get out. The Hua family is very powerful! That person won't send you any messages either. He should have been arrested by the police after the deed was done, and he can't contact anyone now."
"Right, right! How could my brain be so foggy?" Su Mo only remembered after Su Chengjun reminded her. "Third Brother is so smart!"
Su Chengjun accepted Su Mo's praise wholeheartedly. Recently, Su Yangxia was deeply embroiled in the controversy surrounding being taken away for investigation by relevant departments, while his project with Young Master Gu was shining brightly within the group. Su Shengrong had reinstated him as manager and even gave him two percent of the group's shares, which was an absolutely good omen!
"Don't scare yourself. Just do what you're supposed to do, just like usual!"
"I understand! Thank you, Third Brother." After finishing her call with Su Chengjun, Su Mo felt a little more at ease. She put down her phone and went to find some clothes. Since it was rare for Young Master Gu to come to see her personally, she would reluctantly dress up a bit!
Soon, Su Mo and Young Master Gu went to a five-star hotel for breakfast. Looking at the gentle and well-mannered Su Mo, Young Master Gu's eyes were full of satisfaction. "My family is urging us to get engaged as soon as possible. What's your opinion?"
Su Mo's elegant movements faltered for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across her face before she quickly regained her composure. "I'm fine with anything, but marriage is a major life event that should be decided by my parents." Su Mo didn't want to marry Young Master Gu at all right now, but an engagement wasn't the same as marriage. It wouldn't hurt to have one; she could cancel it once she got Hua Gengchen.
Anyway, the Gu family wouldn't dare to cause trouble in front of the Hua family.
Su Mo's attitude of obeying her elders in everything won Gu Shao's favor. After all, a woman should obey her father at home and her husband after marriage.
"Then I..." Young Master Gu was interrupted before he could finish speaking. It was a group of people in police uniforms who arrived.
"Su Mo, you are suspected of hiring someone to commit murder. Please come with us!" Just as Young Master Gu was completely bewildered, the police suddenly said this, and Young Master Gu immediately turned his attention to Su Mo.
Su Mo's heart pounded the moment she saw the police arrive, and her hands holding the cutlery trembled uncontrollably. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? I didn't hire anyone to kill someone."
Young Master Gu didn't know Su Mo's true nature, but he firmly believed that his understanding of Su Mo was her true nature, so he said, "Officer, isn't there some misunderstanding here? Su Mo would never do such a thing. Could you have the wrong person?"
The police officers wanted nothing more than to roll their eyes at the two men on the spot. What era are we living in? Could they possibly have mistaken the suspects?!
Not wanting to waste words with the two, the police forcibly took Su Mo away. Young Master Gu watched in astonishment as the police led Su Mo away, then immediately pulled out his phone and called Su Yangxia, "Hey, Su Mo has been taken away by the police on charges of hiring a hitman!"
"When?" Su Yangxia pressed, this was no small matter, and if they weren't careful, the Su family would be implicated.
"Just now, we were having breakfast when the police took us away." Young Master Gu was worried that if things weren't handled properly, the Gu family would be implicated, and all the hard work he had put into getting to where he was today would be ruined because of Su Mo. Fortunately, he and Su Mo were just boyfriend and girlfriend and hadn't gone any further!
"I'll send someone to investigate immediately, thank you for letting me know!" Su Yangxia hurriedly finished speaking and hung up the phone. Su Mo hired someone to commit murder? And she was taken away by the police? They didn't even hear a word of it beforehand!
Young Master Gu stared blankly at the disconnected phone for a few seconds, then called Su Chengjun. Su Chengjun's reaction was even stronger than Su Yangxia's, and he seemed more eager to get to the bottom of things. Before Young Master Gu could even ask any questions, Su Chengjun hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Young Master Gu said angrily. He called someone to settle the bill, and just as he got into his car to go home, he received another call from Su Yangxia.
"Do you know who Su Mo wants to kill?" Su Yangxia asked anxiously, only realizing the truth after Su Shengrong reminded him. As long as the victim doesn't file a case, Su Mo's charge of hiring someone to kill will naturally not exist, and the Su family can still be fine.
Young Master Gu suppressed his temper and said, "Young Master Su, Su Mo is your Su family's daughter. You yourselves don't even know who she has grudges against, so how would I, an outsider, know?"
Su Yangxia choked, expressing her dissatisfaction with Gu Dashao's quick disassociation of them. After all, Su Mo and Gu Dashao were boyfriend and girlfriend!
Nevertheless, Su Yangxia dared not show any displeasure to Young Master Gu at this moment. "I was just in a moment of panic, please forgive me, Young Master Gu!"
"Hmph!" Young Master Gu snorted, not bothering to argue with Su Yangxia, but also not wanting to continue the conversation, so he hung up the phone directly.
Angrily driving home, Gu Dashao noticed a file folder by the door before even entering. Picking it up, he searched his memory, confirming no one had sent him anything in the past couple of days, and became curious about the folder with his name on it.
After thinking it over for a moment, Young Master Gu decided to open the file folder and take a look, just in case it contained something important.
After opening the file folder, Young Master Gu took out a stack of photos. Most of the photos were rather dim, with a few beams of colorful light occasionally appearing, but what attracted the most attention was Su Mo's rather content face in the dim environment.
Upon closer inspection, there was a person with a full head of blond hair around Su Mo's neck. It was because of his actions that Su Mo had that expression on her face.
After seeing what was in the photo, Young Master Gu was stunned. He quickly looked through the remaining photos one by one, and his face grew darker with each look.
By the last photo, Young Master Gu's face was almost as dark as the bottom of a pot, or even worse!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Su Mo, you're something else! You dare to cheat on me!"
