Chapter 10

Su Mo ignored it, and after getting out of the car, she slammed the door shut, causing the car to drive away immediately

The young police officer remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking up: "You might find it laughable, but I still have to say, keep your distance from this group of people, as far away as possible, and do not get involved with them again. Really, it is not worth it." He sighed with a maturity beyond his years, "Back in the police academy, we all had such lofty ambitions and fanciful dreams. Before graduation, the instructor warned us to prepare ourselves mentally, saying that in the first two or three years as a grassroots police officer, we would encounter more darkness than in the past twenty years. At that time, I didn't believe it; after all, isn't it just about catching a criminal? Just bring them to justice and it's over... Now I understand that wherever there are people, there is darkness. Several of my classmates have changed careers; the work is exhausting, and you have to manage relationships, and seeing certain things makes you feel frustrated and miserable.

The elevator ascended, the doors opened, and Rong was about to step in when she looked up and stood at attention, greeting the person inside: "Boss, good morning"

Upon hearing Rong inexplicably mention her child, a fire ignited within her: "You seem to have a significant issue with me. After the meeting, come to my office, and we will have a good talk!"

Su Mo got into the car: "After driving for about an hour, it was already past 6 o'clock, heading directly to Ansheng Electronics."

The streetlights had already been extinguished, and Su Mo waited for a while at the bottom of the office building before the security guard finally opened the main door

He looked at Su Mo and said: "There are many things you have never heard of or seen, and there are countless people who are worse off than you. Did you hear what the person with the surname Zhao just said? If you get too close, they will always find a way to target you. Some people may not have much ability, but they are always good at making trouble for others. They will fabricate accusations and will find faults with you, and if they don't play this game, they will feel unbalanced. They just want to enjoy that feeling of being superior. Really, take care of your own health first, don't get involved with them, you won't go wrong by listening to me."

Cong Rong paced back and forth in the office, deep in thought: "I sensed something was off about this matter yesterday, but... even if he is interested in you, there is no need for such tactics..."

Due to her concern about last night's contract, Rong arrived early in the morning, only to find that Su Mo had arrived even earlier. Surprised, she reminded her: "If a salesperson has a late engagement the night before, it is acceptable to come to work a little later the next day"

Su Mo went to the hospital for an emergency consultation, only stating that she wanted to undergo a test. The on-duty doctor had a usual demeanor, seemingly unperturbed, and advised her to return in a week, explaining that various diseases have incubation periods and results cannot be obtained immediately. However, Su Mo could not wait even a moment; the thought of possibly contracting some unspeakable infectious disease or encountering other issues made her break out in a cold sweat. She hurried to the nearby pharmacy, purchased emergency contraceptive pills, swallowed them with mineral water, and downed more than half a bottle of cold water. Gradually, she calmed down a bit and hailed a taxi directly to the company.

Rong smiled lightly, looking at her with a face full of disdain: "Isn't it just that the meat that was about to be in your mouth is gone? Is it really necessary to be this disappointed?"

Su Mo glared at her: "You all are in cahoots. In any case, I don't want to stay here anymore. I just want to understand clearly, why would he harm me with drugs when there is no grievance or enmity between us..."

The young police officer spoke all at once, as if he had let out a sigh of relief, and then focused solely on driving for the remainder of the journey. Su Mo remained silent, yet she was somewhat moved by his words, almost wanting to sprout wings and fly back to her hometown, without thinking or feeling troubled, disregarding everything, just wanting to hide under her parents' wings, falling into a deep sleep like in her childhood, and waking up in the oblivious morning. She sighed heavily in her heart, trying to rid herself of these unrealistic thoughts, and looked down at the documents in her hand. Below the photo was the name of this person, and she hummed, "Lu Zheng?"

The young police officer glanced at her and after a moment said: "Don't confront them head-on; you won't be able to handle them... How about I take you to the hospital for a check-up? If everything is fine..."

Su Mo felt as if someone had twisted her heart fiercely, and said: "I do not know where I have offended you, why are you treating me this way, using such despicable means? You have no moral principles yourself, at the very least, you should accumulate some virtue for your son..."

Su Mo was puzzled: "What do you mean? Why do you want to help me?"

Rong was taken aback and turned to look at her: "What did you say?" Seeing Su Mo still standing there in a daze, he reached out and pulled her: "Come to my office."

Did you report it to the police

For a moment, the room was silent, but outside it gradually became lively. The morning sunlight streamed through the window and illuminated Su Mo's face, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes. The intense light enveloped her vision, as if everything felt illusory.

Rong was taken aback and said, "When I leave, it will already be late; you will only be later than me, won't you?"

Su Mo had to repeat: "Wang Siwei, last night, drugged me, I was, I was... Don't tell me you didn't know about this?"

A strong sense of shame surged from the depths of my heart once again, perhaps due to my disdain for the loss of my own vitality, perhaps due to the regret for that night of reckless indulgence, or perhaps because I have come to see the reality, to see my own cowardice and debauchery

As Rong was about to turn and leave, she heard these words and looked back at her: "This is a statement with hidden meaning, what does it imply?" Then she smiled, "I see, having someone to rely on makes one a bit arrogant, which is quite normal, but I truly hadn't noticed it before."

From Rong quickly responded, picking up the materials that had already been prepared. Seeing Su Mo's confused expression, she explained: "It is not Wang Siwei who called for the meeting; Wang Siwei left for another city early this morning." She walked over and opened the door, saying, "It seems there will be a lot to do today. You should go back and rest for now. I will give you two days off to think it over. Don't be too impulsive about resigning." Su Mo, in a state of disarray, followed her out. When they reached the elevator, Rong thought for a moment and said, "Some things can only be viewed more openly. You have just managed to get your position confirmed, and the immediate benefits are the most important."

Su Mo bit her lip, remaining silent, as if her heart was like withered ashes

Su Mo was taken aback: "Is he not coming?"

Su Mo glanced at the photo on the identification document and couldn't help but let out a sneer, casually tossing the document aside

From Rong Mang Dao: "Yes, I am just about to go up"

Upon seeing her pitiful appearance, Rong couldn't help but reveal a hint of charm. Her delicate face glistened under the sunlight, appearing tender and fair, almost blinding to the eyes. She thought to herself: she looks quite good, no wonder someone has taken an interest in her. Unable to restrain herself, she asked again: "That person... who is it? Is it Director Cheng from Yongshun Group? That old fellow? Or... is it Director Zhou? The one who is a bit chubby?"

From Rong, it was clear that no answer could be obtained, so she suppressed her curiosity and could only say: "What do you plan to do, resign?"

The man inside nodded slightly: "It was the manager who instructed the secretary to notify you to come up for the meeting"

Rong was extremely surprised and did not speak for a long time. After a while, she looked her over and finally said: "No wonder you didn't even change your clothes... he did this to you..."

Su Mo stood outside, watching helplessly as the door closed, and saw the person inside glance at her with an air of indifference.

From Rong, with a smile: "It's a problem. Your matters should not involve me. Personal issues should be resolved privately, do not mix them with work." She paused for a moment, "I heard that Wang Siwei was driven away early this morning. Whether you two will see each other again is still a question. If you can't hold onto a man, it's your own foolishness and lack of ability. Why take it out on unrelated people? Aren't you ashamed? Also... the big boss will be coming over soon for an employee meeting, and it's for performance reporting. With your results, if it weren't for someone supporting you, could you still be here?

Also... the big boss will be coming over soon for an employee meeting, and it's for performance reporting. With your results, if it weren't for someone supporting you, could you still be here? Don't say I didn't remind you. You might as well prepare yourself mentally now; not everyone has a good temper like Wang Siwei..."

Su Mo nodded

The young police officer lowered his head and thought for a moment: "I am truly sorry... I am off duty now, and I will absolutely not harm you," he said as he took his police badge out of his shirt pocket and handed it to Su Mo. "Really, take this, and when you get home safely, return it to me."

In the autumn of Nanzhan, dawn still arrives early, a faint light appears on the distant horizon, and vehicles bustle along the road. Su Mo is weary of this increasingly noisy clamor, as the night conceals evil while the day reveals everything.

She should hail a car so that she can return to the city as soon as possible, but she does not dare to do so, nor does she know what kind of people are sitting in those cars. Their faces appear distorted and cunning through the dark glass. She can only continue to move forward along the shoulder of the road without stopping, just as she did last time

A car was following closely behind, its lights softly illuminating the path ahead. Su Mo was startled and suddenly turned around.

She speculated on the various possibilities of how things might develop, and the opportunity for revenge quietly slipped away during her hesitation, leaving only one outcome: she would inevitably suffer a more devastating defeat

The car window rolled down, revealing a young face that still bore a hint of childishness. The young police officer said, "Hey, are you really going to walk back like this? I can give you a ride."

Rong nodded and sighed, "I never expected, I never expected that Wang Siwei, who usually appears so refined and polite to everyone, has no temper at all... However, I seem to have heard someone say that he loves to indulge in that sort of thing. Wealthy people, with too much money to spend, tend to seek out some excitement. " She looked at Su Mo, "If he can do such things, do you think it is still useful to find him now?"

She looked up at Rong and said, "Did he give you to someone else at a discount?"

The young people remained silent

Su Mo noticed that she was neither angry nor annoyed, and without a single unnecessary word, her suspicions deepened. Unable to restrain herself, she stepped forward and said, "You must have known that I would be socializing until very late, so of course, you had to leave early"

The other party hung their head and said, "I am sorry"

Su Mo sneered: "No need, what’s the point of talking to you? I will go directly to Wang Siwei to get a clear answer."

Su Mo leaned against the railing by the roadside, took a breath, and said: "Is there something bothering you? You should have seen more..."

The young police officer quickly took out his identification, pondered for a moment, and then removed the handcuffs from his waist, handing them to her as well: "The key is also attached, you can cuff me at any time."

As soon as the two entered the office, Rong turned around and closed the door, then asked again: "What nonsense were you just spouting? Speaking so confidently, this matter cannot be taken lightly."

After Rong expressed her gratitude, she entered the elevator and turned around to see Su Mo standing like a wooden statue by the gradually closing door, looking at this side with a strange expression. Before long, however, she lowered her head to gaze at her own toes.

Su Mo retorted, "Where can I possibly take you to?"

Su Mo felt somewhat impatient and weakly waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to listen. She slowly took a few steps forward and then turned back to glance at the car parked behind. The young police officer understood and immediately ran over to bring the car forward. Su Mo did not rush to get in; instead, she extended her hand towards him and said, "Hand it over."

Su Mo interrupted: "Even in death, one must die with clarity. I do not believe that these people lack any sense of morality; otherwise, what is the purpose of the law?"

She hesitated whether to rush in and slap him again, but was pulled away by someone, forcibly removed, and ultimately taken away by the police

Rong shook her head: "Don't overthink it, I have no intention of helping you, what does this have to do with me? I'm just bored and said a few more words." She lowered her voice, "Wang Siwei is nothing special, their family situation is quite complicated..." Just as she was about to continue, the phone on the table rang, an internal line, the secretary reminded: "Sister Cong, the boss has arrived, please go up first, there is a high-level meeting.

Su Mo's face was pale, and she observed Rong's expression closely, missing not a single detail. She wished she could dig out these people's hearts to see the truth clearly.

Su Mo remained silent

The elevator doors are about to close, reflecting the crowd like a bright mirror.

Later, during the meeting, Rong noticed that there was a faint trace of blood on Wang Ju'an's left cheek, resembling a mark made by a woman's fingernail.

Su Mo reached out to cover her forehead, unable to utter a single word, and finally just softly said: "Get lost..."

Rong felt a slight stir in her heart and said, "Just leaving like this, isn't that letting them take advantage for nothing? Can you really swallow this anger? I have a method here, it just depends on whether you are willing to use it," she smiled, "Dealing with a rogue requires rogue methods."

The young policeman remained silent, driving the car cautiously. After a while, the young man could no longer hold back and simply stopped the car, walking over to say: "I say... how long are you going to keep walking like this? Get in the car."

Su Mo ignored him; refusing was the best way to protect herself. She did not want to say a word, only straightened her back rigidly

Su Mo walked out alone, unaware of when she would reach her destination, nor did she know where that destination was. Her mind was a blank, and she felt like a kite with its string cut. She missed home, longed for her parents, and reminisced about the once simple and carefree life, but all of that had long since vanished with the wind. Now, it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her, relentlessly pulling her down until she fell into darkness.

The young man replied, "Yes," with a hint of hesitation in his tone

The young police officer bent down to pick it up and said softly, "You have to believe me, I truly won't harm you. It's just that I feel quite uncomfortable inside, really..."

Su Mo looked at her, her tone no longer polite as before: "How did you know I was out socializing until very late yesterday?"

The man stepped aside into the inner room and said, "Let's go."

They reported it, and they bit back...

Lu Zheng only drove the car to the entrance of the municipal hospital, refusing to go anywhere else no matter what was said. When Su Mo got out of the car, he tentatively said, "Even if you know my name, it doesn't matter. I haven't been working for long, and I don't know many people, so I can't be of much help to you. All I can do is this."

Rong remained silent, merely leaning against the desk, arms crossed as she gazed at her.

Su Mo could not express it

Rongxin began to feel suspicious and quickly scanned the several people around her. Aside from the boss, Wang Ju'an, the others were merely secretaries accompanying him, without any particular significance. At a certain moment, the boss glanced at the shadow of a figure outside the door's gap, seemingly frowning slightly in confusion.

Su Mo said: "It is not him"
