Chapter 798: Chapter 601: Even the Tiniest Clue Can Become a Lifesaving Lifeline

Listening to Su Xiaomeng’s analysis of the entire situation, including the current challenges faced by the Yin Group, the Yin Family’s current predicament, and the events of the day of the Tianjin Port incident.

Besides genuinely feeling the hardships his wife endured, what also shook Yin Shixiu was Su Xiaomeng’s quick thinking.

Wu Yao wanted the world to believe that Yin Shixiu had disappeared from this world by relying only on a severed arm.

This was to avoid the continuous pressure from Wu Rong, Yin Shiqing, and others like the Shi Family who wanted Yin Shixiu dead, and to create an opportunity for Yin Shixiu to lie low and regain strength.

Before confirming Yin Shixiu’s well-being, Wu Yao’s plans were just drafts in his mind, and he wouldn’t even speak of them.

Yin Shixiu was also unaware of the specific grievances between Wu Yao and Wu Rong.

Wu Yao’s plans were extremely meticulous, not in a way that followed a step-by-step procedure, but with a great deal of chance and luck.

The elements of planning and arrangement were too minimal.

This is why, although only a severed arm was recovered, everyone, especially Wu Rong and Yin Shiqing, believed it was Yin Shixiu.

But Wu Yao’s meticulousness could not escape Su Xiaomeng’s eyes.

"How did you realize that this severed arm wasn’t Arthur’s?"

Eric knocked on the door and entered midway, and Su Xiaomeng still harbored resentment towards Eric in her heart.

But...

The fact that her husband was still breathing, still alive, owed much to Eric’s dedicated medical treatment and care.

Gratitude greater than mountains...

Xiao Meng no longer gave Eric the cold shoulder. As he entered, she continued speaking without stopping...

After listening for a moment, Eric couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked.

"Because... I really can’t accept that you’re already dead."

The question was asked by Eric, but seeing the look in Yin Shixiu’s eyes, Su Xiaomeng knew that he also harbored such doubts in his heart.

So, her answer was directed at Yin Shixiu.

"Just like at that time... you refused to accept that I would die in the sea of fire."

As long as there was a single clue, it was a lifeline for them, a rope to save a lover’s life and their own life.

As Yin Shixiu listened to Su Xiaomeng’s words, he couldn’t help but feel a bit self-deprecating...

The greatest relief upon waking up was seeing Su Xiaomeng standing strong in front of everyone. At that moment, she... looked incomparably dazzling.

As if she had already calmly accepted the fact of his death.

He always thought that getting her to accept his "death" was the most difficult and painful time for her. If she could endure that moment, things would gradually get better...

He thought this way, but never considered that...

Su Xiaomeng never firmly believed he was dead...

When Su Xiaomeng roughly finished speaking, Yin Shixiu’s eyelids had already closed in exhaustion.

Su Xiaomeng quietly watched him...

How long had he been awake?

"An hour and a half, which is already a great improvement. Previously, he couldn’t stay awake for more than thirty minutes."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart... ached.

But her expression remained calm.

Having understood Yin Shixiu’s condition, Su Xiaomeng had already mentally prepared herself.

Even if he closed his eyes and never opened them again, she wouldn’t find it strange.

It’s just...

If that were the outcome, then heaven would truly be too blind to their plight.

No...

Heaven was indeed too harsh on them.

Bending her head, she closed her eyes, her lips pressing against his withered large hand...

These hands had typed out program codes that shocked the world, these hands had built a business empire admired by all, these hands...

"Are you resting here tonight, or..."

"I’ll rest here."

Su Xiaomeng said lightly, for her, even a moment of separation from him was a waste.

Eric nodded,

"I’ll go make the arrangements."

"Thank you."

Settling a family member in the ICU was absolutely not allowed by policy, but policies are rigid while people are living and breathing.

At this point, who could bear to separate this couple who had suffered so much pain even a moment longer?

Eric went out to make the arrangements.

Just as he went out, Su Xiaomeng’s phone rang.

The call was from Bai Sixian.

Su Xiaomeng’s trip to London was very unexpected, with no prior preparation, and there was no way to inform her family in advance.

She only sent her mother a WeChat message saying she was going on a business trip to London when she boarded the flight.

Upon reaching London, she also failed to promptly inform her family that she was safe. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Now, she had been in London for half a day.

Xiao Meng got up, walked to the window, and answered the phone,

"Mom, sorry, I arrived in London and forgot to let you know I’m safe."

"As long as you’re safe, that’s good."

Bai Sixian said, and then asked, "Are there many things to do in London? How long will you be staying? When do you think you’ll be able to return?"

Listening to Bai Sixian’s words, Su Xiaomeng felt a bit uneasy,

"There’s not much to do here. How long I stay depends on the situation. I’ll keep in touch with you. Did anything happen at home?"

"No, everything’s fine. I’m just asking. In case Shuangshuang and Huang Huang ask, I won’t be at a loss for words."

"Oh, alright. Five days at most, okay? There really are very important matters here. I’ll make time to video call Shuang’er and Huang’er early tomorrow."

"Okay, that’s fine."

"I’ll definitely be back before they report to kindergarten."

"You don’t need to rush. Even if you don’t come back, I’ll take them."

"Mom, thank you."

"Why are you being so polite with your own mom?"

Bai Sixian’s tone was slightly displeased.

Su Xiaomeng hurriedly said, "I’m truly grateful to mom. Even with the closest people, it’s necessary to express gratitude when appropriate."

"Alright, you girl have your own principles now, mom can’t out-argue you."

Su Xiaomeng smiled,

"Mom, is there anything else?"

Bai Sixian hesitated slightly, then said,

"No more."

Despite her slight unease, since her mother said there was nothing, Su Xiaomeng didn’t overthink it.

After ending the call with her mother, Chen Lan’s call came in...

About Yin Shixiu’s situation, Su Xiaomeng hadn’t informed Chen Lan either...

Concerned immensely about Yin Shixiu’s life or death, Chen Lan had been patiently holding his phone for a long time, assuming Su Xiaomeng would inform him of the situation immediately — but unexpectedly...

A day passed without Su Xiaomeng sending him a single message.

Feeling uneasy, Chen Lan finally decided to take the initiative and call to ask.

Hearing Chen Lan’s voice, Xiao Meng only said calmly,

"It’s him."

On the other end, Chen Lan paused for two or three seconds, and Xiao Meng could hear his muffled voice, as if he was trying hard to suppress the ecstasy in his chest.

Su Xiaomeng slightly curled her lips,

"The Yin Group will rely on you these few days."

"Madam, rest assured, there aren’t any major projects or decisions needing attention recently, I can manage while you’re not around. If something comes up, I’ll contact you proactively."

"Hmm."

"But... how should we handle Young Master Rong?

Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips, worried about Rong Jing — a problem that always demanded extra caution.

"Today Rong Jing still sent flowers. I accepted them on your behalf. Fortunately, he didn’t come personally. Seems he doesn’t know about your trip to London."

"My presence in London must be kept a secret from anyone. Find a way to keep this from Rong Jing too."

Chen Lan scratched his head a bit, feeling this was not an easy job but...

Thinking that Yin Shixiu was indeed alive, no matter how difficult the job, Chen Lan was quite willing.

"Alright, leave Beijing to me."

Chen Lan said, about to hang up, then suddenly remembered something. He told Su Xiaomeng,

"This noon, Ming Lang came to bring you lunch. During the conversation, he mentioned that last night, Yin Shiqing caused quite a scene at your second sister’s house."
