Chapter: 2318

"Suo Ruo felt a sudden surge of resentment."

"She thought sorrowfully to herself: 'I don't have anywhere to go right now, if I don't follow this person, I can only wait here for the Japanese to catch me. In their eyes, I'm an unforgivable criminal, and once I fall into their hands, I'll surely meet my death.'"

"And besides, I also can't return home..."

"Even if I wanted to cross the vast ocean, I wouldn't be able to go back by myself."

"Let alone say nothing about going back, I couldn't even think about it."

"Just a while ago, when that captain called Su Chengming to report my 'death', he explicitly told him I was already dead. If I were to return home alive, the Su family would immediately realize that captain had tricked them."

"They will also realize that their wicked plan has been completely exposed!"

"At that time, they would definitely think of every possible way to kill me and silence my mouth"

"Now, I only have one opportunity: following this man back to Jinling"

"He is so powerful; he must be able to quietly bring me back and cover it up for the Su family"

Su Ru was thinking at this moment: just survive first, then investigate the truth of this matter.

She had resentment towards the Su family at this moment, but still had a last glimmer of hope.

She felt that if this incident was only planned by Grandfather Su Chengming alone, without Father Su Shoudu's involvement, or even being deceived into it, her heart would be relieved a lot in the depths.

But if this matter was jointly planned by Grandfather Su Chengming and Father Su Shoudu, then she and the Su family would be completely cut off from each other!

Su Ru looked at Ye Chen and asked softly, "Can I go to Jinling with you? Can you let me call my mom for a minute? I need to tell her that I'm still alive; otherwise, she'll be worried sick about me."

Ye Chen replied without hesitation, "No way!"

Su Ru was taken aback. She had only hoped to give her mom a reassuring phone call and hadn't expected Ye Chen to refuse her so bluntly.

She asked with some annoyance, "Why not? Even if the entire Su family wants me dead, my mom would definitely not be involved."

Ye Chen spoke coldly, "You should know that when it comes to a mother, she'll show a completely different reaction to her daughter being dead versus actually being alive. She can't pretend to be sad and natural if you tell her you're still alive."

"If you don't tell your mom the situation now, she'll certainly display genuine grief, and the Su family will never suspect anything; but if you reveal this information to your mom, she'll know you're not dead, and it'll be hard for her to fake being devastated like a true grieving mother. That way, it's easy for the Su family members to catch on."

As Ye Chen spoke, he had an unmistakable cold smile. "After all, people from the Su family are known for their ruthlessness. You've wiped out the Matsumoto clan and let them kill you in Japan. Who knows if they'll bother your mom or try to eliminate her too?"

Su Ru's entire person became embarrassed and flustered upon hearing this.

She had been brainwashed before, believing that the Su family's interests were above all else and that their interests couldn't be questioned.

So, she treated Su family's enemies with a consistent ruthlessness.

However, last time, wiping out the Matsumoto clan was not Su Zhaolian's intention, but Su Shoudao's intention. JrNovels.com
