The Bowl of Seven Emotions

He no longer cared whether the person in the operating room lived or died. If today's matter wasn't resolved, even if the old man came out alive, he probably wouldn't live much longer.

Xue Yang's hand holding the phone was trembling. He licked his dry lips, hesitated for a long time, and didn't dare to dial that number. Finally, he clicked on another number and dialed.

A melodious ringtone played, and Xue Yang's heart couldn't calm down.

He felt like he had waited for almost half a century before the music finally stopped, and a slightly blurry voice, due to lack of sleep, came from the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

"Su Su-jie, it's, it's me, Xue Yang."

"…Oh, Xue Shao." Tang Susu chuckled lightly. "Why did you think of calling me?"

As soon as he heard her words, Xue Yang knew that Tang Susu probably knew everything.

"Su Su-jie, are… are you alright?"

"What could happen to me? I'm fine."

"Jie, I'm sorry, my dad, his mind isn't very clear. I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Hehe…" Tang Susu laughed. "Why apologize? Xue Shushu just had a meal with me, and didn't do anything to wrong me."

Although she said that, Xue Yang didn't dare to take it seriously.

If there really was nothing wrong, she wouldn't have this attitude.

In order to seek Tang Susu's forgiveness, Xue Yang disregarded any sense of pride or face and lowered his stance as much as possible. Even though Tang Susu was full of anger, she couldn't vent it on him.

Moreover, this matter really had nothing to do with him.

The two talked on the phone for more than an hour, fifty minutes of which were Xue Yang apologizing.

Tang Susu leaned lazily on the pillow and finally relented. "Alright, let's consider this matter over. Is Xue Shushu alright?"

"My dad is seriously injured. I think he needs to recuperate for a few years."

"That's true. Xue Shushu isn't young, and the company should be handed over to you." Tang Susu casually said a few words and hung up the phone, leaving Xue Yang holding the phone in a daze for a while.

He couldn't help but wonder how much of the old man being hit by the crystal chandelier was intentional, how much was accidental, or… was it Shi Chengxuan's people who did it?

At past three in the morning, the lights in Tang Susu's room were bright. It wasn't until she hung up the phone that she yawned and felt a little sleepy.

He's not dead, it's good that he's not dead.

Gou Dan had taken two naps, and half-opened its eyes in a daze. Seeing Tang Susu leaning against the headboard in a daze, it couldn't help but paw at the little cat pillow in its arms and mumbled, "I told you he wouldn't die, what's there to worry about? He just got hit, not flattened."

Tang Susu rubbed its head amusedly and turned off the lights to sleep.

She slept soundly, unaware of how many people couldn't sleep well tonight.

The news was still being blocked, and few people knew about Xue Jun's accident. Only Xue Yang, as Xue Jun's only son, was in a state of turmoil.

If the person lying in the operating room wasn't his own father, he really wanted to drag him out and kill him immediately.

Time passed bit by bit. Xue Yang paced in front of the operating room for most of the night, and even though the sun had come up, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

It wasn't until past eight o'clock that the surgery finally ended. Xue Jun, covered in tubes and wires, was pushed out. The doctor who came out walked towards Xue Yang after seeing him.

"Mr. Xue." Although the doctor had performed surgery for most of the night and was tired from lack of sleep, his attitude was still very good.

Being able to have the dean call him in the middle of the night to perform surgery meant that this was no ordinary family. Knowing that the patient's surname was Xue, he had an idea.

Working as a doctor in Guowen Hospital, there were few fools. Even if Old Mr. Xue had an accident, there was still Young Mr. Xue. As long as the person could be saved, there would be no shortage of benefits.

"Thank you for your hard work. How is my father?"

"Mr. Xue has several fractures and a ruptured femoral artery. With proper postoperative care, there is a high chance of a full recovery."

Doctors never spoke with absolute certainty. Everyone's physique is different, so who could be sure that there would be no problems?

Xue Yang didn't find fault and patted the doctor's shoulder. "Thank you, doctor. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

"You're welcome, Mr. Xue."

After seeing off the surgeon, Xue Yang followed to the ward to see his father. The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, and he hadn't woken up.

He first called home and asked the housekeeper to come over to take care of him, and then found two nurses at the hospital. Although the bodyguards were negligent, he didn't deal with them, letting them take turns watching at the hospital.

After making the arrangements, he took the head of the bodyguards who called him yesterday and left.

Xue Yang drove all the way back to his small villa.

He dragged the head of the bodyguards into the house and threw him onto the sofa. "Don't tell me you don't know anything. Tell me, what else is going on here?"

The old man didn't die, and although Tang Susu forgave him, Xue Yang wouldn't naively think that this matter was over. He hadn't contacted Shi Chengxuan yet, not because he forgot, but because he didn't dare to before he found out anything.

The head of the bodyguards rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything for a long time. Seeing his cowardly appearance, Xue Yang picked up a crystal ashtray and threw it at him.

The ashtray didn't hit him, but smashed directly onto the coffee table. The glass tabletop shattered with a crash, and broken glass flew everywhere.

The bodyguard was startled. Xue Yang had no patience and said with a grim face, "If you don't talk, I'll send you to the hospital to keep the old man company."

The bodyguard hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak, "I, I only know that Mr. Tang called to invite the boss out for dinner. The boss seemed very happy at the time. I felt that it wasn't an ordinary dinner. When we got into the car, the boss accidentally let it slip that Tang Qiming was selling his daughter."

"My dad still has business dealings with Tang Corp?" Xue Yang asked.

The bodyguard paused. "A while ago, the boss suddenly reconciled with Tang Corp, and it seems there's a business deal to be discussed recently."

"Anything else?"

"I don't know anything else. I think that woman surnamed Leng should know something."

After the bodyguard finished speaking, Xue Yang couldn't help but think of the call that woman made to him that day, saying she had information to sell. Could it be this information? If he had known it was related to Tang Susu, let alone 500,000, he would have paid 1 million!

"Young Master, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's that the boss wouldn't let me say anything."
