Chapter 127 I want to go find Susukino together
Within a single day, Susukino and his two children disappeared.
How could this be a coincidence?
This was a carefully planned trap!
Lin Qingran's eyes were filled with anxiety, her mind a jumble of thoughts that she couldn't unravel.
She knew she had made many enemies, but she never expected someone to use such ruthless methods.
Old Master Bo slowly sat back in his chair, breaking the silence first, his voice tinged with annoyance.
"You caused trouble outside, and now you come here demanding someone back? Jiang Jiuge, have you lost your mind?"
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, again and again, as if tapping on Lin Qingran's taut nerves.
Lin Qingran bit her lip slightly, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
She looked directly at Old Master Bo and spoke slowly.
“Mr. Bo, I cannot be certain that this was not a setup by you. Until the truth comes out, everyone is a suspect.”
Her palms were sweating; in this vortex of power and intrigue, she couldn't easily trust anyone.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bo's eyes widened in anger, and he abruptly stood up, speaking sternly.
"What do you mean by this? My Bo family is a respectable family, how could I do such a despicable thing!"
His beard trembled slightly with anger, but he also felt a secret unease in his heart. After all, this matter was too strange. Although he had not been involved, he was afraid that Lin Qingran's suspicions would bring trouble to his family.
"Does the behavior of a respectable family mean that they have malicious intentions towards their own youngest son?"
Lin Qingran did not back down. She took a deep breath and said.
“Old Master, I don’t want to speculate about you like this, but the people around me have disappeared without a trace, and Bo Ye’s disappearance is related to the Bo family, so I have to be careful.”
Old Master Bo snorted coldly, "Hmph, then go investigate yourself. Don't waste your time here. The Bo family is not one you can falsely accuse at will."
Xiao Zhou's urgent reminder came from beside him, "President Jiang, let's not dwell on this now. Let's leave first and find Mr. Bo and the young master and young lady."
Lin Qingran was slightly taken aback, her thoughts pulled back to reality. She took a deep breath and turned to leave.
How could Old Master Bo let her off so easily? Leaning on his cane, he blocked Lin Qingran's path with a trembling yet menacing air, his cloudy eyes filled with anger.
"Want to leave? Not so easy! You barged into my Bo family mansion and ruined my birthday banquet. You have to give me an explanation today!"
Lin Qingran felt a surge of annoyance. She really didn't want to waste her time and energy on this meaningless matter and just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
She gritted her teeth and tried to force her way through the crowd, her voice cold and hard.
"I have nothing to say, get out of the way!"
The security guards at the Bo family's old residence quickly surrounded her, forming a human wall and blocking her way.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Seeing this, Lin Qingran's bodyguards rushed forward without hesitation and began fighting with the Bo family's security guards.
In the chaos, Lin Qingran and Old Master Bo faced each other again.
Lin Qingran glared at Old Master Bo, her anger finally reaching its peak.
"What exactly do you want? It wasn't my intention to ruin this birthday party, so why are you being so persistent?"
Old Master Bo was so angry that his face turned red, and he pounded the ground heavily with his cane.
"Not your intention? Humph! Your arrival has thrown things into chaos. You must give me an explanation, or what will become of the Bo family's reputation?"
Lin Qingran inwardly groaned. How could this old man have become so muddle-headed?
What if Bo Ye can't find his beloved Bo Shicheng?
She knew that continuing this stalemate with Old Master Bo would only make things worse, but she was now powerless to extricate herself.
Just as Lin Qingran and Old Master Bo were arguing and the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, Bo Shicheng suddenly appeared at the stairwell.
He hurried downstairs with steady steps, his face pale with illness, but his eyes exuded an undeniable authority.
"Dad, finding Bo Ye is the most important thing right now. Don't worry about things here anymore. I'll handle it."
Bo Shicheng's calm and decisive voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Although Mr. Bo was unwilling, he remained silent under his son's firm gaze.
Bo Shicheng turned to face Lin Qingran with a polite smile on his face.
"Miss Jiang, please, I'll see you out."
Lin Qingran looked at him, still harboring resentment towards his past actions, but she had to admit that his appearance had indeed gotten her out of trouble, so she nodded slightly.
"Thank you."
However, when Lin Qingran reached the door, she found that Bo Shicheng had not stopped, but instead gathered a group of people.
She couldn't help but look puzzled. "Mr. Bo, what's going on?"
Bo Shicheng looked directly into her eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
“I’m going to find Bo Ye too. Miss Jiang, no matter how many misunderstandings and entanglements we have, finding Bo Ye is the most important thing right now. I think you won’t refuse to let me come along, right? After all, more people mean more strength.”
Lin Qingran stood beside the car, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at Bo Shicheng.
Bo Shicheng's eagerness and willingness to go with him to find Bo Ye was not in line with the usual behavior of the Bo family, and he felt that Bo Shicheng had ulterior motives.
Bo Shicheng seemed to see through her thoughts, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he sighed slightly.
“Miss Jiang, I know you suspect me. Although I am seriously ill and don’t have much time left, think about it, even if Bo Ye was kidnapped by me as you think, how can I arrange the surgery if I’m not at the scene? I just want to find Bo Ye.”
His voice was weak but sincere, and his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
After listening to his words, Lin Qingran weighed the matter in her mind.
Bo Shicheng's words make some sense; he is currently seriously ill and his mobility is limited.
Moreover, having another person help search for Susukino might actually speed things up.
But she still dared not completely let go of her doubts, and gritted her teeth and said.
"Alright then, but just to be on the safe side, get in my car."
Bo Shicheng nodded slightly and, under Lin Qingran's gaze, slowly walked towards the car.
Lin Qingran looked at his slightly unsteady steps, feeling a mix of emotions.
Lin Qingran took a deep breath, got into the driver's seat, and the driver started the car.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat somber, with each of them preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Even the air seemed to freeze, thick with tension and suspicion.
Bo Shicheng tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Lin Qingran, and asked softly.
"Excuse me, Miss Jiang, how did you and Bo Ye get together?"
Lin Qingran's eyes instantly turned cold. She stared straight ahead at the road and spoke in a harsh tone.
"This is none of your business, Mr. Bo."
Upon hearing this answer, Bo Shicheng's lips curled into a bitter smile. He slowly shifted his gaze to the outside of the car window, as if lost in memories, and began to speak to himself.
