Chapter 794: Chapter 784: Tenderness

"President Su will be fine, right?"

In the car the next day, Zhao Lei, sitting in the back, asked worriedly as they were already on their way back to Jiang City.

As for attending Fang Junhai’s funeral, that was impossible. They were just passing acquaintances, and it’s better not to get involved in such matters.

If Su Qing had encountered Chen Jing’s passing back then, he might have reached out to help, since they were classmates, and he still had that intention. But with Fang Junhai, forget it.

Moreover, even if they wanted to, would the Fang Family be willing? People shouldn’t think about problems only from their own subjective perspectives.

To some people, Su Qing and Tang Nan were both significant internet celebrities, with one being a top-tier domestic female artist. Naturally, they would want to show up to gain some face, but in this situation, it hardly mattered.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang, who was driving, took a deep breath and shook his head, "It should be fine, right? Our President Su is our city’s criminal investigation consultant. Didn’t you see that he’s even unafraid of corpses? This small scene wouldn’t make him fall apart."

"But... President Su..." Zhao Lei felt what her brother Wang said was wrong because she knew that Su Qing didn’t really care about the so-called corpse; it was a deeper reason.

After they returned last night, Su Qing said he was tired and went to his room. No one thought much of it until this morning when they noticed Su Qing wasn’t in a very good state, appearing lethargic and very suppressed.

She vaguely felt it probably had something to do with yesterday’s events, whether it was about Fang Junhai, that so-called elementary school classmate, or maybe both.

"Alright, President Tang was also there at the time, and he said it’s okay. What are you afraid of? Relax, with both of them around, Bai Hua and President Su won’t cause any trouble."

Old Wang said nonchalantly.

With his experience, if this young girl Zhao Lei could see the problem, how could he not? But Old Wang had been trained by his girlfriend Feng Yan to observe more, do more, ask less, and worry less. Just do your job well.

Is this a problem that we, as employees, can solve? Obviously not. So why worry?

If Su Qing truly had a problem, not to mention, Old Wang knew that President Shen definitely wouldn’t ignore it, and he had absolute confidence in President Shen.

"Don’t we need to worry about the big mess online? I’ve already noticed some negative impacts."

"Don’t worry, President Shen will handle it. Trust me!"

After a night of fermenting, news about a fatal accident during Su Qing’s first live broadcast had spread across the internet, topping the trending list.

Various rumors were flying, including separate discussions about his ’smoking’ incident during the live stream.

The result of any penalty on Su Qing’s account wouldn’t be overlooked. Many people had caught the scent of traffic.

Soon, major bloggers and official accounts started reposting and sharply commenting on last night’s incident. There were supporters, and naturally, there were also critics.

Supporters were, of course, the majority of the netizens, but there were also many subtly leading opinions.

Maybe because Su Qing still held the title of Jiang City’s criminal investigation consultant, even the criticism was relatively mild.

Of course, there were still a few hard-headed people, just not many.

At the same time, Fang Junhai’s account stories were being dug up, causing a huge wave of attention online, with any work related to this incident receiving a lot of traffic.

Meanwhile, at Jiangcheng Airport, Tang Nan got off the plane and met her landlord lady waiting to pick her up outside the airport.

"Hello, Little Tang, come, today I’ll take you to experience a luxurious full-body massage, it’s incredibly comfortable, the ultimate enjoyment!"

Knowing Tang Nan was coming, the landlord lady was very excited. Since Su Qing and Shen Yi left Jiang City, she’s been terribly bored. If it weren’t for the beauty salon keeping her busy, she might have grown moss.

So it’s no wonder she’s delighted to hear that Tang Nan is coming.

As she spoke, the landlord lady opened her arms, her elegant long dress fluttering in the breeze. The temperature in Jiang City had completely warmed up; although it hadn’t reached the summer heat, wearing a long dress didn’t seem out of place at all.

Her well-proportioned figure and ample bosom drew a lot of attention at the airport entrance.

Some men even gulped involuntarily, truly irresistible.

The landlord lady had expected Tang Nan to leap into her arms like a returning swallow to its nest, but to her surprise, Tang Nan sidestepped her soft embrace.

She then got into the front passenger seat by herself, putting the phone to her ear and maintaining a call posture.

"Hey? No hug?" The landlord lady bit her lip, looking a bit coy.

"Xiao Yi, that’s basically the situation. Something seems off with Xiao Su’s state, but I can’t say exactly what.

Of course, don’t overthink it. It’s probably not because of his elementary school classmate, uh, I mean, yes, he did receive something from that classmate, but... it’s been so many years, I just feel like it’s not entirely about that, nor is it... ah, I don’t know how to say it. Anyway, Xiao Su’s mood may not be very good, just keep an eye on him!"

As soon as she sat in the driver’s seat, the landlord lady heard Tang Nan speaking a bit frustratedly on the phone, seemingly talking to Shen Yi.

Meanwhile, at the company, Shen Yi frowned slightly. She didn’t expect such a thing to happen after Su Qing had been gone for just a few days.

She didn’t care about any elementary school classmate’s gift. She even knew about Su Qing’s university girlfriend at the time; although it didn’t make her happy, it didn’t cause any trouble. After all, who didn’t have an ex? And besides, Chen Jing wasn’t even an ex.

Her concern was that something was wrong with Su Qing’s current state, and online, the public opinion was starting to escalate, with quite a lot of negative comments involved.

This was indeed an unexpected outcome for her.

"Okay, got it. You can send someone from your studio to help. I might use your identity to release some information, just letting you know!"

"No problem, I’ll tell them to fully cooperate with you!"

Tang Nan readily agreed. After all, Su Qing was now a partner in her venture, a close collaborator. Of course, as a partner, she cared about his mental health. She couldn’t afford to have another psycho emerge!

"What happened to Xiao Su?"

Seeing Tang Nan put down the phone, the landlord lady couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t mention it; he just suddenly got emo," Tang Nan sighed as she recalled Su Qing’s state today when they parted.

"Emo? Does Xiao Yi have someone else?"

Tang Nan: →_→

"Sister Qing, your thoughts are a bit twisted!"

"Ahem, just a reflex reaction!"

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Shen Yi checked the time and then sent a message to Su Qing. After a while, when there was no response, she called him again.

’Hello, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later, sorry...’

Hearing the voice on the phone, Tang Nan frowned slightly, then got up and walked toward the door.

"President Tang, these are the materials required for the meeting later, you..." Just as the assistant started speaking, before she could finish, Shen Yi waved her hand, "Notify all departments, the meeting is canceled, rescheduled for tomorrow morning!"

After speaking, before the little assistant could react, Shen Yi disappeared at the doorway, and soon a car headed towards the residential area.

When Shen Yi opened the door and saw the figure on the sofa, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging all along was finally at ease.

Then she quietly approached on tiptoe, discovering that Su Qing was sleeping, curled up on the sofa. Even in his sleep, the resistance on his face was apparent, as if trapped in a nightmare.

Seeing this, Shen Yi fetched a blanket from the bedroom to cover him and drew the curtains in the living room, dimming the light in the room. She then sat beside him, gently patting Su Qing’s back with her hand.

This state of Su Qing was something she had seen before, and more than once, she immediately understood his young mind was probably disturbed again.

"You’ve worked hard, little brother!"
