Chapter 1016 - 1015: Su Yuanzhou's Composure
Twenty minutes passed, and the police arrived at the hotel owned by Su Yuanzhou. Before the police arrived, an ambulance had already taken away several seriously injured guests.The police stated that they would immediately start an investigation. As for the hotel's losses and the injured guests' medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for the fright they suffered, all these costs will be borne by the local government.
Su Yuanzhou had no objections to this result. All the guests who were fine in the hotel were taken to other hotels by police cars to rest. Of course, the guests did not have to pay for this.
Chu Ge and the Qin sisters didn't leave because Su Yuanzhou said he wanted to have a chat with them, and Qin Ruoying readily agreed.
Actually, even if Su Yuanzhou hadn't mentioned it, Chu Ge would have wanted to talk to him. Since things had escalated to this point, no matter how much he disliked trouble, he couldn't pretend it never happened, or that these people had no connection with him.
Watanabe Shinji and his group suffered a significant loss, especially Saito Daikan, who was blinded in one eye. They definitely wouldn't let it go easily. If Chu Ge and the Qin sisters just washed their hands of the situation and left, the Su Family would inevitably face retaliation.
After all, they were compatriots. Knowing they were in danger and doing nothing about it just wasn't something Chu Ge could bring himself to do.
It's just that... he truly hates dealing with this trouble!
He was bewildered at how he and his wife managed to get entangled in such messy affairs on their honeymoon. It's just bad luck!
In fact, compared to Chu Ge, Watanabe Shinji and Saito Daikan felt even more unlucky. How could they have been beaten so badly just for coming out to mess up a small hotel?
One had an eye blinded, the other had a broken nose, lost teeth, and almost lost his life from one blow.
What frustrated them to the bone was that despite their miserable state, they had no idea who had done this to them. They were truly speechless, facing the heavens. Is there anything more stifling than this?
After sorting out these matters, although Su Yuanzhou had many questions about his niece Su Xiao, he didn't ask her separately. Instead, he took Su Haidong and Su Xiao and knocked on the door of Chu Ge and the Qin sisters' room again.
In front of everyone, Su Xiao sighed and finally told Su Yuanzhou everything that had happened to her. Chu Ge and the Qin sisters didn't hide anything from Su Yuanzhou either, but of course, limited to what should be said and what could be said.
Chu Ge wasn't so forthcoming as to tell Su Yuanzhou that he played a crucial role with a few stones in this affair. If he hadn't been provoked and used those stones to retaliate, the situation absolutely wouldn't be what it was now.
After listening to the whole series of events, Su Yuanzhou pondered for a moment, then looked into Su Xiao's eyes and seriously asked her a question.
"If you really intended to shoot a film, is it more for the sake of your family, or because you were tempted by Watanabe Shinji's offer and moved more by financial reasons?"
Su Xiao hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly and said, "Does it matter? Isn't what we need to consider now something else?"
In her view, this indeed was not important. After all, Watanabe Shinji and his group had clearly come here to teach her a lesson today, but ended up being severely beaten. Now, they probably wish they could kill her. No matter how you think about it, the first thing they should consider now is their safety, right?
Su Yuanzhou looked at Su Xiao for a few seconds longer, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Okay, child, it's already very late. Go back to your room and get some rest. Haidong, you should also go rest. I will now see off these three compatriots."
Su Xiao's room didn't have its glass broken, and Su Haidong lived next door to Su Xiao. He was safe, as Watanabe Shinji and his group were quite far from the hotel when they attacked. To avoid hitting Su Xiao, none of them threw stones near there, and Su Haidong was not affected.
Hearing what Su Yuanzhou said, the Su siblings were momentarily stunned, and then Su Xiao became anxious.
"Uncle, such a big thing has happened. It's already an urgent crisis. Who knows when Watanabe's group will come back to cause trouble for us? How can we sleep soundly?"
Although Su Haidong didn't say anything, he clearly shared his sister's opinion and looked at Su Yuanzhou with a nervous expression.
Su Yuanzhou waved his hand with a calm smile and said, "Don't worry, they probably won't come over tonight. Didn't you see how badly they were hurt just now? There's no time for treatment, where would they find the leisure to bother us?"
Seeing Su Yuanzhou not listening and maintaining his usual unhurried manner, Su Xiao became even more anxious, her delicate eyebrows furrowing tightly.
"But… Uncle, they are hurt, but they certainly have other accomplices! How can you be sure they won't send someone to retaliate? They're part of the Qinghong Association! It's said that this Qinghong Association even has some connection with the Sugimura Group!"
"It's okay. Just because they say they are, doesn't mean they really are. Maybe they're just trying to scare you."
Su Yuanzhou still had a dismissive look, seeing that Su Xiao clearly wanted to say something more, he smiled and waved his hand.
"Xiaoxiao, you really don't need to worry so much. Even if they are indeed from the Qinghong Association, or even directly from the Sugimura Group, they just caused trouble here. They won't immediately make a move again. After all, they need to be mindful of the impact. Making a big scene won't do them any good."
After speaking, Su Yuanzhou stood up from his chair, smiled at Chu Ge and the Qin sisters, and said, "I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble today. Now, let me take you to another hotel."
"Uncle!"
Even though Su Xiao felt that Su Yuanzhou wasn't entirely wrong, there are always unforeseen circumstances. What if someone really comes for revenge tonight? Even if not tonight, what about tomorrow or the day after? They should at least consider some countermeasures, right?
"Haidong, take your sister out,"
Su Yuanzhou patted Su Xiao's shoulder, turned to Su Haidong, who had a conflicted expression, smiled, walked to the door, turned his gaze to Chu Ge, and made a "please" gesture.
Chu Ge and the Qin sisters followed Su Yuanzhou's steps, watching the man's back, recalling his various reactions just now, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
This middle-aged man around forty is just too calm. Could it be that, for him, this is really no big deal?
Involuntarily, Chu Ge paid renewed attention to Su Yuanzhou.
Standing nearly 1.8 meters tall, his figure couldn't be called fat, but he has slightly put on weight. His features and facial lines have almost no sharpness. When he smiles, he looks very kind. His speech and demeanor are unhurried, giving people a very approachable feeling.
In short, on Su Yuanzhou, Chu Ge felt no sharpness and found nothing noteworthy. He seemed like a thoroughly nice guy, but just because of his calmness, Chu Ge found it hard not to be puzzled.
Besides Su Yuanzhou, actually, that Su Xiao is also quite noteworthy. Her reactions were already very calm; she spoke and acted with more maturity than a high school girl.
Moreover, when she spoke to Su Yuanzhou, apart from anxiety, there was also a faint trace of suspicion between her eyes—like she vaguely knew something but wasn't quite sure about it.
After leaving the motel, Su Yuanzhou drove Chu Ge and the two others to the entrance of a hotel, paid for two rooms, said a few words of apology and thanks, left his phone number, saying they could contact him if needed, and then said goodbye.
Chu Ge hesitated several times before finally calling out to Su Yuanzhou, expressing a desire to discuss some things with him.
Though Su Yuanzhou was slightly surprised, this expression seemed not to be so unexpected in Chu Ge's eyes, as if he originally also wanted to chat about something with Chu Ge.
The four took their room keys and went upstairs. Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying entered one room, while Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou entered another.
Chu Ge and Su Yuanzhou exchanged "please" gestures, sat down on the sofa, and Su Yuanzhou first asked, "Mr. Chu, is there something on your mind?"
Chu Ge smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there's nothing particularly special. It's just that Mr. Su has been busy for quite some time, you must be tired. Why not take a little break and rest your feet before leaving?"
Chu Ge couldn't really see through Su Yuanzhou. Although after today there might not be any more interactions between them, his approaching Su Yuanzhou was simply out of responsibility, wanting to wrap up this situation, but he didn't get straight to the point and instead engaged in some small talk first.
Su Yuanzhou smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
After saying this thank you, an awkward silence fell between them. Chu Ge always sensed that Su Yuanzhou seemed to want to say something to him, but from the surface, it didn't seem that way?
Could it be that I'm overthinking? Is this person just inherently steady and optimistic?
While Chu Ge was pondering this, Su Yuanzhou finally broke the somewhat awkward silence, "Oh, Mr. Chu, I just remembered there's something I wanted to ask you."
Chu Ge smiled, "What is it? Boss Su, feel free to ask."
"Mr. Chu, when we were attacked at my motel earlier, I felt like someone was secretly helping. Did you notice anything like that?"
