Chapter 696 - 683

In this press conference, Miss Qin Mengshu of the Qin Family came forward to clarify, which means something... That’s self-evident!

"Excuse me, Miss Qin, what is your relationship with President Helian?" a reporter asked.

Qin Mengshu was very calm and poised, "Our families have been friends for generations, so naturally, we are friends."

"Just friends?"

Both Helian Shuang and Qin Mengshu knew that they couldn’t delve further into this topic, for one wrong move... could displease Helian Si. They had to leave, as they had already achieved their purpose!

Helian Shuang grabbed Qin Mengshu and smiled evasively, "Alright, that’s all we can say... If President Helian has good news, he will certainly inform everyone. Let’s wrap it up here today, okay? Everyone can pick up a gift in the side room, thank you."

After saying this, they walked out under the escort of bodyguards.

Behind them, reporters were all trying to persuade them to stay and making various speculations...

Helian Shuang and Qin Mengshu exchanged a smile and left together.

...

At the entrance of Guan Chao, Yu Sangwan was limping closer.

"..." Yu Sangwan smiled, she had finally arrived.

She wanted to muster the strength to move forward, but then saw the side door open. Reporters rushed out together...

"Ah!" Yu Sangwan was taken aback, she recognized some of these people, she knew several of them.

Inside, Chen Ke saw her. He jogged over, "Yu Sangwan!"

Yu Sangwan was anxious and grabbed him, "Weren’t you guys at today’s press conference?"

"Yes!" Chen Ke nodded, "But it’s already over! So naturally, we left..."

"Left?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, "How did it end so quickly?"

"Oh." Chen Ke laughed and shook his head, "President Helian couldn’t adjust his schedule, he didn’t appear at all."

Yu Sangwan felt relieved, so it was cancelled.

But then Chen Ke continued, "We waited for hours, but in the end, it was Helian Shuang and Qin Mengshu from the Qin Family who showed up... In this case, whether President Helian comes or not isn’t important. It’s obvious that President Helian and Miss Qin are a pair!"

"Why?" Yu Sangwan felt a sinking feeling in her heart, her voice not sounding like her own.

"Hey!" Chen Ke raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t it obvious? It was a press conference to dispel rumors in the first place, and Miss Qin’s appearance... is the best way to dispel rumors! It seems it was indeed a misunderstanding before."

Yu Sangwan’s face suddenly turned pale, he didn’t wait for her... and sent Qin Mengyao to dispel the rumors for him?

She was stunned, as if she’d lost her soul...

Chen Ke squinted slightly, a hint of cunning flashing through, "Yu Sangwan, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

His gaze fell and he finally noticed her bare feet, with her right foot bleeding, "How did you get injured?"

Yu Sangwan, in a daze, shook her head, "It’s nothing, I’m... fine."

Chen Ke curled his lips, revealing a successful smile! With her injured foot, Yu Sangwan didn’t walk far.

She just sat by the wall of Guan Chao, holding her phone in her palm.

She didn’t dare to dial, because at this time... she knew very well that Helian Si was in a meeting.

However, she couldn’t just leave! Leaving like this, what would it mean? She had clearly already arrived.

Now, she could only wait.

Around the corner, Chen Ke started his car, glanced in the rearview mirror, a cold smile on his lips. In a moment, he stepped on the gas and sped away...

On the road, he received a phone call.

"Hello, what’s up?" Chen Ke asked coldly, his demeanor starkly different from his usual friendly, gentle demeanor.

"Chen Ke, the child you were looking for... there’s news. Are you free now? Come take a look!"

Hearing this, Chen Ke tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "Alright, I’m coming right away."

...

Chen Ke hurriedly arrived at a friend’s workplace, which was somewhat chaotic.

"You’re here?" His friend patted his shoulder, "Come on in! It’s inside."

"Okay." Chen Ke nodded and followed his friend inside.

It was much quieter inside, in the corner, there was a small bed, and on one corner, a small figure was curled up. Hearing footsteps, she whimpered like a frightened little animal...

Chen Ke slowed his steps and approached the little figure, "What’s your name?"

"..." The child said nothing and instead shrank further into the corner.

His friend glanced at Chen Ke, "Her name’s Susu. When she was rescued from the traffickers, that’s what they called her."

Chen Ke frowned, trying to keep his tone gentle, "Susu."

"..." Little Susu still didn’t look at them, consumed by fear.

"Don’t be afraid." Chen Ke raised his hand, gently placing it on her head, "Uncle is here to save you, from now on... you won’t suffer anymore, and no one will bully you again. Lift your head and look at uncle, uncle is a good person, different from those people before."

Little Susu finally looked up, yet her eyes still flickered with distrust.

Chen Ke extended his hand to her, "Come on, give uncle your hand, uncle will take you home, to find your mom, okay?"

Upon hearing the word ’mom,’ little Susu finally reacted, her eyes shifted, and tears fell.

Chen Ke felt a pang in his heart, he understood little Susu’s feelings. Having been trafficked since young, hearing about family evoked such emotions. At this moment, he truly felt sorry for little Susu.

"Let’s go! Come home with Uncle, okay?"

Little Susu thought for a long time, finally jumping off the bed. Chen Ke extended his hand, lifting her high and coaxing her with a smile, "Good girl, when we get back, let mom give you a bath, and change into pretty clothes, okay?"

"...Um!" Little Susu nodded heavily, raising her hands to wrap around Chen Ke’s neck.

Chen Ke left the police station with Susu, "Leave the paperwork to you."

His friend nodded, "Don’t worry! When you have time, bring the child’s mother to sign a document, I’ll handle the rest for you."

"Thanks."

As Chen Ke was about to leave with Susu, his friend called out to him.

"Chen Ke..."

"Is there anything else?" Chen Ke turned around, frowning in confusion.

His friend sighed, "What about your own matters? Have you found your family?"

Both he and Chen Ke had experienced being trafficked from a young age. Ever since they escaped, they had maintained a good friendship. However, Chen Ke was somewhat special... he was trafficked as a teenager, so he should have memories of his family.

Yet, over the years, he had never mentioned it to anyone, nor had he seen him try to find his family.

His friend could tell that Chen Ke was hiding something in his heart.

At this moment, hearing his friend’s question, Chen Ke reacted the same way he always did.

Curving his lips into a faint smile, "Nothing, I’ll be leaving now."

Behind him, his friend shook his head and sighed, "Hey..."

On the road, Chen Ke called Gong Xueyan. Upon arrival, the door opened, and Gong Xueyan rushed over.

"The child!" Gong Xueyan stood at the doorway, opening her arms to Susu, tears welling up, "Come here, I’m mom!"

Though little Susu was five, she was clearly malnourished and rather frail, her eyes remarkably large. She was quite pretty in appearance, especially with her almond-shaped eyes... already showing the signs of a budding beauty.
