Chapter: 2720

Su Zhiyu was unsure of what her mother was thinking, but she felt a mix of excitement and hope for the future. She thought, “It may sound cliché to say that heroes save the day, but many people never get to experience something like that. When it happens to you, it’s hard not to feel a strong bond with the person who saved your life.”

She reflected on how her benefactor had saved her not once, but twice—once for herself and once for her mother, and even helped her half-sister. “One act of kindness can be remembered for a lifetime, so how can I forget when it happens so many times?” she pondered.

But there was something else on her mind. “I wonder what kind of feelings this creates in me, or if he’s still single?” Su Zhiyu was confused and wanted to ask Charlie Wade, but she didn’t know how to bring it up.

Charlie Wade noticed the silence and spoke first. He looked at Du Haiqing and said respectfully, “Auntie Du, I’m sorry for keeping you and your daughter here and not letting you contact anyone outside.”

Du Haiqing quickly replied, “Charlie Wade, please don’t apologize. If it weren’t for you, Auntie and Zhiyu would have been in serious danger. We wouldn’t have made it out safely.” She continued, “And I understand that you’re keeping us from the outside world to protect us. I really appreciate that.”

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “I’m glad you understand, Aunt Du.” Then he added, “As for now, while things are still uncertain…”

After the Su family found out that you are still alive, it’s uncertain if they will continue to pursue you. However, since I’ve exposed their past behavior towards you, I believe they won’t dare to attack again unless they are completely irrational.

Du Haiqing nodded and said, “I really appreciate what you’ve done. If it weren’t for you, Auntie and Zhiyu might not have made it out alive…”

Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Auntie, you and Miss Su Zhiyu are free to leave, but I do have a small request.”

Du Haiqing quickly responded, “Charlie, please don’t be so formal! Just tell us what you need.”

Charlie continued, “Su Shoudao will soon be sent to Syria, and he will effectively disappear from the Su family’s view and the public eye. When that happens, the Su family will likely start searching for him. If I ask you and Miss Su to leave now, they might believe that your absence is connected to his disappearance. I need you both to keep this a secret for me.”

Du Haiqing nodded without hesitation. “Don’t worry, Charlie. Zhiyu and I won’t seek revenge. If anyone asks about us, I will say we were rescued by a mysterious person whose identity I don’t know. I’ll suggest that Su Shoudao’s disappearance might be linked to this, leaving them to guess. I will deny everything.”

Charlie gave a respectful nod to Du Haiqing, then turned to Su Zhiyu and said earnestly, “I hope you can help me too, Miss Su.”

When Charlie addressed her directly, Su Zhiyu felt a bit nervous but was also conflicted. After all, she was part of the Su family.

Charlie Wade saw the Su family as his enemy, and he planned to keep fighting against them. For Su Zhiyu, a member of the Su family, this was a tough situation to be in. After thinking it over, she turned to Charlie and said softly, “My dear, I can agree to your request, but can I ask you a question first?”

Charlie nodded and replied, “Of course, go ahead.”

Gathering her courage, Su Zhiyu asked, “What will you do about the Su family in the future? Will you keep fighting us, or will you let it go?”

Charlie answered, “Whether I let it go or not depends on how much the Su family is responsible for my parents’ deaths.”
