Chapter 367: Chapter 367: I’m Sorry
Su Zhen had once been the heir to the Su Family restaurant, basking in glory throughout the entire Federal Empire.
But now.
He had become a rat in the sewer.
And was still being bullied by others.
Su Zhen shook his head with tears flowing, "Xiaowan has already completely disowned me as her father, you know that! So, I can’t do anything to help you, really!"
Du Weiwei sneered coldly, "This is simple. Su Wan always visits her mother, Lin Ranyue. When the time comes, you just have to barge into Lin Ranyue’s home."
"You’ve done this before."
Su Zhen’s face suddenly turned ashen!
That one time, he had gone to find Lin Ranyue, and diverted her attention.
Then Du Weiwei brought people into Lin Ranyue’s home, and placed insect eggs.
And what’s more, they had stolen Lin Ranyue’s child!
With trembling lips, he asked, "What, what exactly are you planning to do?"
Du Weiwei narrowed her eyes, "I know you’re regretting it now, regretting having divorced Lin Ranyue, regretting having separated from them. I’m here this time specifically to bring you all back together."
A deeply sinister smile crossed Du Weiwei’s twisted face.
"Either die now or go reunite with Lin Ranyue and Su Wan. Su Zhen, choose one."
Su Zhen’s face was pale as paper.
This was his former moonlight, the woman he once thought was so gentle and kind.
Suddenly, Su Zhen began to laugh.
Du Weiwei frowned, "What are you laughing at?"
As Su Zhen laughed, tears streamed down his face.
He lifted his head and said softly, "Alright, I agree."
**
In the past few days, Su Wan had been preparing for the Starship Fleet’s exam but was also worried about her mother.
From time to time, she would bring Little Gu Chen to visit her.
Fortunately, Lin Ranyue was a strong person.
She also understood that if she continued to be down, it would worry those who cared about her.
Lin Ranyue saw her daughter busy in the kitchen, baking her favorite cookies.
She said with emotion, "Really, daughters are the best. Actually, Xiaolei and I both wanted a daughter."
The little Mermaid swimming in the pool blew two baffled bubbles.
Su Wan said mischievously, "Then just raise your brother like a little girl! With his delicate and beautiful features, dress him up in little skirts when he was younger."
The pitiful little Mermaid, still oblivious, blew bubbles in the water, laughing at his sister.
Lin Ranyue watched them, her heart filled with warmth.
Just then, the doorbell at Lin Ranyue’s home rang, and the robot reported that there was a visitor.
After the incident with the Mu Family’s butler, Gu Lei had increased the security level of the home.
And Lin Ranyue, even more so, always made sure of who exactly was outside the door before opening it.
Then, in the projection, she saw a very disheveled Su Zhen.
Lin Ranyue was stunned!
Su Wan leaned over and saw Su Zhen as well; she saw tears at the bottom of his eyes?
Their mouths moving, opening and closing.
But what they said was... don’t open the door!
Su Wan, seeing her mother subconsciously reaching to open the door, immediately stopped her and said, "Mom, wait a moment!"
Lin Ranyue was taken aback.
She said, "Don’t open the door just yet. Turn on the intercom and ask Su Zhen what he wants. Remember, just talk, do not open the door!"
Su Wan felt a deep unease in her heart!
Then she walked to one side and quietly said to the Vermilion Bird, "Vermilion Bird, can you bring up the surveillance around my mom’s house, a full 360 degrees?"
Vermilion Bird: "Yes, Gu Lei gave me access to that authority a long time ago."
Su Wan: "Hurry and bring it up! Then, send a copy to White Tiger!"
Vermilion Bird: "Yes!"
**
Inside the military headquarters, Gu Jue was holding a meeting.
White Tiger received the message from Vermilion Bird, along with surveillance footage.
It immediately realized that something was wrong!
In Gu Jue’s earpiece, White Tiger said, "Master! Something has happened! You need to look at these materials now!"
Gu Jue gestured for the deputy officer who was reporting to stop, and then directly had White Tiger project the situation at Lin Ranyue’s home onto the virtual big screen.
The sinister-looking Su Zhen was standing at the doorway.
Not far from him was a black aircraft!
Gu Jue suddenly stood up, "White Tiger, tell Wanwan and the others not to go outside! Notify the closest personnel from the security bureau to rush there!"
"Yes!"
After he finished speaking, he led his team outside!
At that moment, Lin Ranyue, with complex emotions, asked Su Zhen, "How come you are here?"
"Ranyue, it’s me, Zhen."
Sniffing, Su Zhen said gently," The stupid things I did in the past were my fault, can you please, not hate me anymore?"
"Originally, I didn’t intend to, kill your child..."
"I’m sorry, Ranyue."
Lin Ranyue slightly furrowed her brows, her eyes brimming with tears.
In a soft voice, she said, "It’s all in the past; from now on, don’t think about those crooked paths anymore, just live an honest life."
"Then is it still possible... I know we can’t, start over together again, but can you treat me as a friend, as family, and we can still be close, we..."
Lin Ranyue slowly shook her head, "Sorry, it’s not possible."
Su Zhen stood there stunned.
At a distance, on the spacecraft, the mantis-clawed man sneered, "It seems like, you’ve thoroughly ruined this man! By the way, what is he still rambling about, why hasn’t he gone in yet?"
Du Weiwei: "Lin Ranyue has become more vigilant and won’t let him in easily. But, there’s still time, as long as Su Zhen can get inside, it will be enough to send Lin Ranyue and Su Wan, mother and daughter, to their doom!"
"It seems like Su Wan also took her child there; tsk tsk, that’s Commander Gu’s only child. However, we can’t stay here too long."
The starships were all waiting for them at the port.
Du Weiwei frowned, "We need to make sure Su Zhen gets in; if he flees at the last moment, all our efforts will be wasted!"
She spoke directly into the earpiece implanted in Su Zhen’s ear, "Hurry up! How long are you planning to prattle on? Get Lin Ranyue to open the door quickly!"
Su Zhen: "..."
Meanwhile, Su Wan also noticed the eerie aircraft!
She immediately rushed to Lin Ranyue’s side and asked the Su Zhen outside the door, "Where have you been these past few days?"
Su Zhen knew that whatever he said, Du Weiwei and that insectoid would hear.
He looked bitterly at his own reflection in the glass door.
The once spirited and proud Boss Su, now, had turned into this state.
His hair was graying, his body had gone plump, and wrinkles were crisscrossing around his eyes.
On his collar, there were still remnants of unwashed oil stains.
Su Zhen opened his mouth and said with a choked voice, "Xiaowan, Dad is sorry, Dad doesn’t hope for your forgiveness anymore, but I wish that, in the future, you would take more care of your mother, more care of your grandfather, and the Su Family restaurant."
"The things that happened before, were all Dad’s fault..."
Su Wan immediately reacted!
She asked urgently, "Has someone threatened you?"
Su Zhen didn’t respond to Su Wan.
His hands began to tremble, and they were covered with sweat.
Su Zhen steadied himself against the wall, lifted his head to look at the camera, tears streaming down his face.
"Ranyue, I’m sorry, I only realized now that leaving you was the most erroneous decision I’ve ever made in my life."
"I’m sorry."
After Su Zhen finished speaking, he turned and ran towards the black aircraft!
"Bang!"
