Chapter 406 The Whole Story
It wasn't until nine o'clock at night that Gu Ming and Lin Wenqing arrived one after another; he was still chattering to Lin Ruoxue.
Lin Wenqing, seeing Su Chen like this, also felt a bit heartbroken and sad, and said,
"Su Chen, your body is still very weak; you should head back and rest."
"Okay, Dad, please take care of everything here."
"It's not a bother at all."
Su Chen then left the hospital room and went to where Grandpa Lin and mother-in-law Zhang Xinlan were. Since he was at the hospital, it wouldn't be right not to visit them...
"Su, we really owe you a lot this time!"
As soon as Su Chen entered, Grandpa Lin grasped his hand and said.
"Grandpa, this is what I should do. You shouldn't get too excited right now."
Su Chen patted Grandpa Lin's hand.
Zhang Xinlan looked at her son-in-law, seemingly more and more satisfied with him.
"Su, how is Ruoxue doing?"
Zhang Xinlan asked, her primary concern still being her daughter's condition.
Su Chen initially wanted to tell a white lie to reassure Zhang Xinlan, but looking into her eyes, he finally told the truth,
"Ruoxue is no longer in life-threatening danger, but she is still in a coma."
"When will she wake up?"@@novelbin@@
Zhang Xinlan, hearing her daughter was still in a coma, immediately became anxious again.
Su Chen shook his head slightly, "I don't know."
"Xinlan, the situation is already much better now. We have to have faith in Ruoxue!"
Seeing Zhang Xinlan wanted to say more, Grandpa Lin interjected.
"Grandpa, I have some matters to attend to, so I will leave first."
Afterward, Su Chen added a remark.
"Do whatever you need to do; don't mind us!"
Grandpa Lin stared at Su Chen with a penetrating gaze, seeming to understand what he was about to do.
Su Chen nodded, then walked out.
Su Chen couldn't help but remark that, although Grandpa Lin was ill, his mind was still very sharp.
He walked out of the hospital, took a deep breath, and said,
"It's time to settle accounts with those who harmed Ruoxue!"
Although Su Chen had suspects, he had no evidence yet. The first person he could think of was Chen Guo, that secretary.
Logically, once something happened to Lin Ruoxue, that secretary should have contacted him immediately; she always did so before.
However, she hadn't this time, and according to Gu Ming, when he realized something had happened to Lin Ruoxue and rushed over, he hadn't seen that secretary either.
All of this seemed to imply that the secretary was involved in the incident.
Of course, all of this was still just Su Chen's speculation at this point, without any concrete evidence. Moreover, based on his understanding of that girl, she was not the type to do such things.
Immediately, Su Chen called the secretary, Chen Guo, and as he had expected, the phone was turned off.
He quickly dialed another number:
"Shadow, help me trace a mobile number."
"Okay."
A minute later, Shadow had completed the tracing, which was not at all technically challenging for her.
Su Chen hadn't expected that the traced location would turn out to be in the underground parking lot of Belle Corporation.
He then drove to Belle Corporation and parked his car in the square in front of the main entrance before he walked into the underground parking lot.
It was around 11 PM now, and everyone from the corporation had long since left. The parking lot was pitch black, so much so that one couldn't see their own hand in front of them.
After Su Chen arrived, he did not call out Chen Guo's name, but instead lightly stepped around the parking lot, making a full round.
Quickly, he noticed a faint breathing sound coming from a corner. Such sounds might be imperceptible to others, but Su Chen, with his exceptional visual and auditory acuity, distinctly picked up on them.
"Chen Guo, come out," he eventually said aloud but received no response.
"Chen Guo, you don't actually want me to drag you out, do you?"
Su Chen's voice echoed through the empty parking lot once more.
After several seconds, a rustling sound came from the corner, and then a trembling figure walked out from there.
"Brother Su."
The figure stammered out a call.
"Come out with me."
Su Chen said, walking out with his hands behind his back.
Though Chen Guo was scared, now that Brother Su had found her, she obediently followed.
She was puzzled, how had Brother Su found her so quickly when she had hidden herself so well?
Soon, the two of them were outside where the lights of Belle Square were still shining. Thanks to the light, Su Chen saw Chen Guo's originally delicate and pretty face was dirty, and her clothes were covered in dust.
The usually cheerful and optimistic young woman was now trembling uncontrollably, her eyes filled with terror!
"Brother Su."
Seeing Su Chen looking at her coldly, Chen Guo called out softly.
"Chen Guo, is there anything you'd like to say to me?" Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Su Chen asked coldly, devoid of his usual frivolity and humor when speaking with her.
Chen Guo couldn't help but shiver inwardly, but after a moment, she shook her head.
"Then why were you hiding in the parking lot?"
"I... I owe someone money, they were demanding it, and I didn't have it, so I had to hide."
"Is that so?" Su Chen sneered, then pulled out his phone, "In that case, I'll have to let the police handle this."
"No, Brother Su!"
As soon as Chen Guo saw Su Chen about to call the police, she immediately lunged forward and grabbed his wrist.
"Aren't you going to talk? What exactly happened with Mr. Lin's poisoning?"
"Brother Su, I'm sorry!"
Chen Guo fell to her knees in front of Su Chen with a "thump," and started crying:
"I have let you down, and I have let Mr. Lin down even more!"
"What exactly happened? Tell me everything clearly!"
Su Chen spoke coldly, not allowing Chen Guo to stand up.
While sobbing, Chen Guo began to recount the events.
It turned out that Lin Chao had already started to approach her intentionally some time ago, and had subtly expressed his fondness for her.
For Chen Guo, an ordinary worker, receiving affection from the direct grandson of the Lin Family was an unbelievable surprise, and Lin Chao was also quite handsome and distinguished.
For a moment, Chen Guo thought she was about to become a modern-day Cinderella who could transform from a sparrow to a phoenix overnight!
But she hadn't realized that this was not the beginning of a fairy tale, but the start of a nightmare!
The night after Su Chen left on a trip with the public relations department, Lin Chao asked Chen Guo out. First, they had a romantic candlelit dinner, and then went to sing in a KTV private room.
After having sung several love songs and warming up to each other, Lin Chao suddenly asked her if she wanted to become the mistress of the Lin Family, and if she wanted to be the lady boss of Belle Corporation.
