Chapter: 2794
After Su Zhiyu’s accident, my biggest worry was her brother, Su Zhifei. Their family is small, with just four people. Their mother has always been there for me, while their father has some issues that are hard to accept, making me miss my brother even more.
When I was in Japan, I went through a life-and-death experience with him, so our bond is strong. Even though Su Zhifei felt disappointed, he tried to hide it. He gently patted my back and said, “Zhiyu, you and mom will be okay. I’ve been so worried during this time…”
Du Zhenhua, our grandfather, heard this and looked at Su Zhifei with disapproval. He thought his grandson had become a bit insincere recently. Su Zhifei had been genuinely anxious after the accident involving our mother and sister. He even argued with our grandfather and drove to Jinling alone overnight.
But now, Du Zhenhua noticed that Su Zhifei seemed less concerned about our mother and sister. Even though he was in Jinling, he hadn’t participated much in the search for them. Instead, he was busy with concerts, as if they were more important than family. Du Zhenhua kept his thoughts to himself for the moment, pushing down his frustration.
Then, Du Haifeng said, “Zhifei, come sit down with Zhiyu. We’re just starting to eat. Let’s raise a glass to celebrate the safe return of your mother and sister!”
Su Zhifei quickly replied, “Thanks, Uncle!”
After sitting down, Su Zhifei and the rest of the family raised their glasses for a toast.
Su Zhifei was celebrating with his family, but a nagging doubt lingered in his heart: who had saved his mother and sister? With so many people gathered around the table, he felt it would be too difficult to ask Su Zhiyu about it, so he pushed the question aside for now.
As they enjoyed their time together, his phone buzzed with a WeChat message. He glanced at the screen and saw it was from his grandfather, Su Chengfeng. Eagerly, he opened the message, which read: “Zhifei, I want to know if the person who saved your mother and sister is the same Chinese man who rescued you in Japan. You’re close to Zhiyu, so let’s find a way to get the truth from her!”
A jolt of anxiety hit Su Zhifei. “Why is grandpa asking this?” he thought. “Is it really the same person who saved Mom and Zhiyu? But that seems unlikely. The benefactor is in Japan, and Zhiyu has been searching for him for so long without any results. How could he suddenly show up in Jinling and save her again? Is he some kind of stalker? If that were the case, why hasn’t he made himself known after all this time? It feels strange and hard to believe.”
He couldn’t shake off the memory of his second uncle and father disappearing in Jinling one after another, which only added to his confusion. “It doesn’t make sense for the benefactor to be involved in this. If he were secretly watching over Zhiyu, he wouldn’t go after my second uncle and father like this. The Su family has done nothing to offend him. In fact, we owe him a lot. Why would he target us?”
After thinking for a long time, Su Zhifei couldn’t make sense of it all. In the end, he decided to set those troubling thoughts aside for the moment.
Charlie quietly said to Su Chengfeng, “Good grandpa, I need to find a way to ask Zhiyu.”
Meanwhile, Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu were happily reuniting with their families, and Charlie was heading back home. His trip to Syria had been short. Even though it involved flying thousands of kilometers and many events, it all happened in just one night.
When Charlie arrived home, his wife Xiao Churan, along with his father-in-law Xiao Changkun and mother-in-law Ma Lan, were all surprised to see him back so soon. Xiao Churan had just finished dinner with her parents. Seeing Charlie, she quickly stepped forward to help him take off his coat and exclaimed, “My husband, why are you back so soon?”
