Chapter 375 - 186: Specializing in Taking the Blame
Su Qinwu stood at the corner, listening to the conversation, subconsciously feeling that something was not right. Although she didn’t know the content of their discussion, she had a premonition that it would definitely be detrimental to her! But at this moment, she had no choice but to go down...
Taking a deep breath, Su Qinwu dragged her furry slippers down the stairs. Du Chenshuang, who had known someone was on the stairs, couldn’t help showing a trace of interest upon seeing her appear. Su Qinwu, at first glance, seemed just like an ordinary woman.
Though she was bright and beautiful, there were many such beautiful people in Future Interstellar; she could only be considered above average. Her limbs were slender, not like those of a well-trained strong woman. She was unremarkable in looks and underwhelming in strength... Honestly, seeing Su Qinwu in person left Du Chenshuang somewhat disappointed; it was truly a case of the legend being better than the meeting. She was better off as a figure in tales...
"Father, who is this person?" Su Qinwu sat next to Su Yuan with a coquettish demeanor, her face full of a little daughter’s mannerisms. However, Su Yuan was not in the mood to display his fatherly love; he was dealing with enough of his own issues.
"This is Mr. Du Chenshuang. There are some unclear matters and he wants to come over to ask you about them." Su Yuan felt a bit troubled. The two Su sisters were very persuasive in their act, allowing Su Yuan to taste the long-lost feeling of father-daughter affection. Yet now someone told him that his two daughters were like troublemakers, born just to bring calamity to the Su Family... He was momentarily unable to accept it.
"Questions?" Su Qinwu’s eyes flickered, but she still nodded obediently and said, "No problem, as long as I know, I will speak without reservation. Mr. Du, feel free to ask any questions you have..."
Despite Su Qinwu’s gracious attitude, she felt a bit guilty inside. Since inadvertently dragging the Su Family into trouble last time, she’s been anxious, fearing someone tracing this back to her, leading the Su Family to react with extreme retaliations.
Du Chenshuang’s smile always carried a hint of maturity—maturity that emanated an undeniable appeal to women, which Su Qinwu couldn’t deny. But her heart was already set on her male idol; as a devoted woman, she wouldn’t betray him by giving any man too much attention, at most admiration!
Du Chenshuang noticed the haze in her gaze, causing his ever-straight posture to tremble slightly, shivering with cold. Why did he feel like he was being critiqued? This feeling came quickly and vanished just as fast, disappearing without a trace.
He adjusted his emotions, retrieving several investigation documents from his brain interface. Initially, he wanted to address the events of Nocturnal Song City, but realizing the length of time that had passed, and that she likely had several contingency plans in place by now, he doubted its effectiveness.
So, he presented his first piece of recent evidence—temporary changes in the news layout content!
He closely observed Su Qinwu’s expression and eyes, refusing to overlook any tiny muscle changes. When suddenly confronted with evidence, a criminal’s reaction is always out of the ordinary, even if their acting skills are excellent, there will be heart palpitations and increased heartbeat!
Du Chenshuang knew well how to maximize this effect! The result was satisfying: Su Qinwu’s initial expression did indeed change, and it was quite visibly flustered. Her hands clenched subconsciously, then relaxed as if exhausted...
Although Su Qinwu quickly adjusted, composing her expression and actions back to normal, it was already too late.
"Judging by Miss Su’s previous expression, it seems she really knows something about this matter..." Du Chenshuang pushed up his glasses with a hint of mockery in his expression. Su Yuan’s face had already turned grim, "But can Miss Su tell me how you managed it?"
"Ridiculously absurd!" Su Qinwu’s voice suddenly turned piercing and seemed to crack. Then, as if realizing her reaction was a bit extreme, she took a breath and feigned calmness, saying, "This matter is known throughout the Su Family. I was slightly surprised when you mentioned it, but what does that prove? You even ask how I did it... I..."
"It appears Miss Su’s ability to argue is not impressive, lacking the credibility to call a deer a horse, distorting truth!"
Du Chenshuang regretfully shook his head, using this as a breakthrough point. He produced two more authoritative diagnostic certificates, "I have been investigating this matter, and when Miss Su acted, I had already detected information fluctuations. To be honest, Miss Su’s abilities are indeed strong, but she was too careless in her actions, leaving small traces and evidence... Ironclad evidence!"
