Su Wanyue was ashamed

On the other side, Su Qingguo received the news that Chen Tian had been captured, and he felt a joy that was hard to describe.

As long as Su Wanyue was willing to identify him, the rest of the matter would be out of her hands.

He could guarantee that the Su family would never see Chen Tian again.

When Su Wanyue woke up, she felt groggy, and her mind was filled with memories of last night, when Chen Tian had bullied her.

She didn't even know what had happened to her and had briefly thought that Chen Tian had tried to force himself on her, which was why she couldn't resist and allowed him to do as he wished.

"Daughter, don't worry. Chen Tian has already been caught. As long as you go and identify him, Chen Tian will be completely finished."

Su Qingguo comforted his daughter with a sympathetic expression.

At that moment, Su Lao was being supported by an elderly servant, his face full of anger as he walked in.

"Dad, what are you doing here? You should be resting in the back garden."

Su Qingguo quickly stood up, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Su Lao didn't say a word, his face pale with anger, and his wrinkles seemed to express an unspoken sense of loss.

He walked up to Su Qingguo and stared at him angrily.

Slap...

Without warning, Su Lao raised his hand and slapped Su Qingguo with all his strength.

Su Qingguo was almost knocked off his feet, crashing onto the chair.

"Grandfather, you...?"

Su Wanyue quickly stood up, shocked by the scene before her.

"You really disappoint me," Su Lao said, his voice filled with fury.

"Dad, what did I do wrong?" Su Qingguo covered his red face, feeling some anger as well.

Su Lao looked at Su Wanyue and said:

"Chen Tian, it was I who intentionally got him drunk and had him helped into your room."

Su Wanyue was stunned:

"What, Grandpa, you?"

Su Lao coldly snorted and questioned her:

"Wanyue, where did you go yesterday afternoon? Why did you fall into such a deep sleep after coming back?"

"I... I went out to have drinks with my friends!" Su Wanyue lowered her head.

"Friends? Hmph, this 'friend' of yours is a bit too much, daring to drug you?" Su Lao said angrily.

"What, drug me?" Su Wanyue repeated in shock.

Su Lao angrily continued:

"I thought highly of Chen Tian as my grandson-in-law. Although his status is low now, I believe that, given time, he will show his strength."

"Last night, after I had him helped into your room, my plan was for the news of you two becoming a couple to reach the Wu family's ears, so they would give up. As for the future, that would come later."

"Grandpa, but I didn't want to ruin my reputation just to get rid of the Wu family," Su Wanyue said, her eyes full of disappointment.

"Silly granddaughter, how could I let you lose your reputation? I just wanted to test Chen Tian's character. If he had taken advantage of you, it would have shown he was unreliable and unworthy of trust."

"Then, last night...?" Su Wanyue asked, her eyes reddened.

Su Lao angrily said:

"After you went back to your room last night, it wasn't long before the poison took effect, and you clung to Chen Tian."

"What? I clung to him?" Su Wanyue's face instantly turned red.

How could this be possible?

A lifetime of wisdom, all ruined?

"It's not your fault. You were poisoned quite badly, it's only natural. I thought it was destiny, and that Chen Tian would easily have you."

"I didn't expect that poison almost cost you your life."

Su Wanyue vaguely remembered walking to the door when a sharp pain in her abdomen made her lose consciousness.

It was at that moment that she recalled her hidden illness.

As she felt her body now, she noticed that the discomfort that had often plagued her was gone!

She immediately understood and quickly asked:

"Grandpa, did you have someone keep an eye on Chen Tian? What happened after that? What about me?"

"Luckily, Chen Tian is highly skilled in medicine. He carried you to the bed and treated you all night long, until dawn, before he stopped."

Hearing this, Su Wanyue instantly felt a surge of energy, both shocked and delighted:

"My abdomen, there's no pain at all. Did Chen Tian really heal me?"

Su Lao looked at her with great sympathy:

"It's all my fault, pushing you so hard at such a young age, forcing you to reveal your hidden illness like this!"

Su Wanyue asked in surprise:

"Grandpa, does this mean that Chen Tian didn't... didn't...?"

Su Lao waved his hand, and an old woman entered from outside, respectfully answering:

"Miss, last night, the old master had me secretly protect you. I swear, although Chen Tian had close contact with you, he never crossed a line."

"He was just massaging your abdomen for a long time, likely using traditional Chinese medicine techniques to treat your illness."

Su Wanyue sighed in relief after hearing this, and at the same time, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Not only had Chen Tian not taken advantage of her, but he had even helped treat her illness?

However, her father was full of hostility towards Chen Tian and had made her misunderstand him!

Su Wanyue stood up, feeling a little guilty, and said:

"But right now, Chen Tian has already been taken to the police station."

Su Lao glared at Su Qingguo and sneered:

"I've lived a righteous life, yet I gave birth to such a useless son. Su Qingguo, you knew what happened last night, but you waited until dawn to have Chen Tian arrested."

"You look down on the grandson-in-law I chose, but there's no need to be so cruel as to throw him into prison."

"Dad, it's a misunderstanding! I did it for Wanyue's good. How could Wanyue marry someone so insignificant?"

"The marriage was my suggestion. Now, you've rejected it outright. Where does that leave me? How do I explain it to the Wu family? The Su family will fall into a pit!"

Faced with Su Qingguo's questions, Su Lao flicked his sleeve and said:

"Handle your own affairs. I haven't even figured out who harmed me while I was in the hospital, and now someone is trying to harm my granddaughter. Don't make me find evidence."

"From now on, you're not allowed to step out the door. The relationship between the Su and Wu families is not something for you to be involved in!"

Su Qingguo was sweating profusely and dared not say anything.

The poisoning of Su Wanyue might have something to do with him, but he hadn't known about her hidden illness and never considered there might be danger.

Su Wanyue didn't say anything else, recalling the events of last night, feeling a strange sensation.

Thinking about how Chen Tian had seen her exposed, her face turned red.

In all her life, Chen Tian was the first man who had been so close to her.

Although she still hated Chen Tian, he had helped her heal her illness, yet she had falsely accused him, sending him to prison. She couldn't help but feel guilty.

After struggling with her thoughts all afternoon, she decided to go to the police station to retract her accusation against Chen Tian.

However, when she met Guo Yingjie, he regretfully told her that it was too late and that the law was not a joke.

The police wouldn't release Chen Tian just because of her words.

Su Wanyue felt frustrated. Guo Yingjie really gave her no face.

She didn't know him personally, and her family's status meant nothing now.

What she didn't know was that not far away, in the prison, Chen Tian had already been locked up.

He wasn't taken to an interrogation room, nor was he held in a detention cell, but was directly sent to prison.

After confirming the documents, Chen Tian was sent inside. Guo Yingjie's men spoke to the prison guards:

"Above said to give him special treatment. Don't hold back, just make sure he's alive."

"This is Guo Team's order, or is it from Director Wang?"

The prison guard smiled, as though very familiar with this kind of procedure.

"Both, after it's done, there will be a reward."

"Alright, don't worry."

...

Inside the prison, Chen Tian was forcefully changed into prison clothes and sent to an extremely remote cell.

Two prison guards dragged him in and with a loud clang, opened the cell door.

Immediately, a pungent odor, mixed with a hint of excrement and urine, hit his nose, making him gag.

"Take good care of him."

One of the guards shouted to someone inside and then pushed Chen Tian into the cell.

What Chen Tian didn't know was that the cell he was sent to was in the death row area.

...
