After Su Yaoming finished speaking, he couldn’t take it anymore and fainted again. When he came to again, a day had passed, and his black hair had turned white. The sad Su Yaoming whose hair had turned white overnight muttered to himself when he woke up,

“Why? Why can’t I even see her for the last time?”

Su Ye was extremely shocked when he saw Su Yaoming. His hair had turned white overnight. Su Ye had only heard of this phenomenon before, but this was the first time he had ever seen it. Only excessive grief could cause this. Su Ye immediately went forward and said with concern,

“President, you still have to take care of yourself. Miss Jiang has passed away, but you still have heavy responsibilities on your shoulders. This country can’t do without you!”

How could Su Yaoming care about this now? His heart was already dead. What else would he think about? Su Yaoming shook off Su Ye’s hand that was trying to support him. He got up and staggered toward the door as he said sorrowfully,

“Ha, I couldn’t even protect the woman I love, how could I be President? Or what’s the point anymore?”

Su Ye was even more worried when he heard this. If Su Yaoming collapsed, it wouldn’t be just one person collapsing. The whole country might be threatened. Su Ye immediately went forward to comfort Su Yaoming.

“President, Miss Jiang’s death was an accident. It has nothing to do with whether you protected her or not. Don’t blame yourself too much!”

Su Yaoming stopped in his tracks when he heard this. His face was full of sadness and guilt. How could these things be unrelated? If he had protected Jiang Xiaoman, she wouldn’t have died so unexpectedly. He said remorsefully,

“How could it not be related? If I had sent people to protect Xiaoman, I wouldn’t be finding out only recently that Xiaoman had been locked up in a psychiatric hospital!”

When Su Ye heard this, he knew that Su Yaoming’s words were not without reason. However, what was the point of saying these things now? Things had already happened. It was useless for Su Yaoming to be so sad. Su Ye persuaded,

“President, it’s been mentioned in the news that Miss Jiang was suffering from mental illness and that was why Su Beijiang sent her to a psychiatric hospital. It was to treat Miss Jiang’s illness. No one expected…”

Su Yaoming waved his hand and stopped Su Ye before he could finish his sentence. His face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his eyes were murderous. He looked at Su Ye and said coldly,

“Su Beijiang locked Xiaoman up on purpose. It wasn’t for any treatment at all. Besides, what kind of illness required treatment for so many years? Su Beijiang must have some other motive! I must make him pay!”

Su Ye was silent when he heard this. Su Yaoming was right. There must be something wrong when Su Beijiang imprisoned Jiang Xiaoman for so many years. Su Yaoming clutched his aching chest and ordered coldly,

“Su Ye, get the car now. I want to go to Xiaoman’s grave!”

Su Ye immediately nodded and turned to prepare the car. Su Yaoming was the president. It was very dangerous for him to travel on a whim. His trips must be carefully planned with lots of preparation ahead of time. But before Su Ye left the room, Su Yaoming asked,

“Su Ye, about the matter I asked you to investigate, what have you found out?”

Embarrassment flashed across Su Ye’s eyes when he heard this. He hadn’t found any useful clues so far. After all, too many years had passed, and some of the people who knew about it had already died. Nonetheless, Su Ye replied,

“President, don’t worry. I’ll find out more in a few days!”

Su Yaoming’s aura turned extremely oppressive when he heard this. His expression was very gloomy as he looked at Su Ye. This was such a small matter and yet he hadn’t found out anything? Su Yaoming said coldly,

“Su Ye, why are you so slow in handling things now?”

Su Ye felt Su Yaoming’s oppressive and murderous aura. A layer of fine cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He was afraid that Su Yaoming would punish him. He answered fearfully,

“President, you’ve asked me to go and investigate this matter without the first lady’s knowledge. During the course of my investigation, I discovered that the first lady seemed to know about the investigation and even tried to sabotage me. In order to keep this under wraps, I have been overly cautious and this has slowed our progress.”

Su Yaoming heard Su Ye’s words and didn’t expect that Tian Xiaoxiao had suspected anything. This woman was really sharp. But since he heard Su Ye say that he would be able to find out soon, a trace of anticipation appeared in his eyes as he said,

“Find out as soon as possible. If Su Jin really is my daughter, bring her back immediately!”

Now that Jiang Xiaoman was dead, if Su Jin was really Su Yaoming’s child, he must protect this child well as she’s the only proof of his and Jiang Xiaoman’s love! There must be no more mistakes! Su Ye immediately nodded when he heard Su Yaoming’s words. He would speed up the investigation.
