Su Can made a call to Wang Bo's house. Ling Ran, who answered the phone, sounded quite light and it seemed like someone else was talking inside the room but Su Can couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Su Can" This era had caller ID; Ling Luo Ran’s voice was soft when he picked up the call, and upon hearing Su Can's voice, she started to choke back tears.

"I heard about it. How is Uncle Wang Are you all okay" If Wang Bo were under quarantine for investigation, then Wang Weiwei, Lin Zhouda, and Ling Ran would truly be three abandoned kids. Perhaps Aunt Zhang would continue being assigned to look after their daily needs and nutrition. Thinking back on it, Su Can hadn't seen the trio at school much during this period of time either; they probably hadn’t been attending classes due to the changes at home.

Though these children were very free-spirited, they had always lacked care, and although they appeared strong on the surface, their inner state likely wasn't easy. Just thinking about it made Su Can feel a strange pang in his heart.

Hearing Lin Luo Ran trying to regulate her breathing and voice, she said, "We're okay. Uncle Wang should be fine. Is your father responsible for the construction of Star Ocean Square"

"Yes, what's up" Su Can suddenly recalled an issue that had occurred before the opening of Dunhuang Mall: The boss of Golden Light nightclub claimed he would acquire the commercial annex there but ended up having Wang Ming and Wang Bo secretly meet and give him the building. This was undoubtedly a measure taken by Wang Bo against Golden Light.

During those days when Dunhuang Mall was recruiting merchants, someone had caused trouble in the mall which caught the security department’s attention later on; there were even people who tried to vandalize the signboard with paint, attempting to harm Dunhuang's recruitment efforts.

Fortunately, Du Dawei's mall security team quickly apprehended those individuals and reported them to the police. However, these people were soon released by the police station and boasted about having influential connections; they said that they couldn't be dealt with. This infuriated Du Dawei almost to the point of breaking.

This incident couldn't help but make Su Can associate it with the Golden Light Group, which had recently gained some reputation in Xiahai City.

The business opportunities brought by the Star Sea Square are unquestionable, which has put Jin Hui Group on high alert. However, the prize they were eyeing was snatched away by Wang Bo and handed over to Su Cen, making them suspect that there must be some dubious relationship between Wang Bo and the newly opened Dunhuang Mall under his orders.

Harassing someone should start with this angle; currently, Liu Cheng and Jiang Cai are isolating and investigating Wang Bo. It's inevitable that their investigation will eventually shift towards the Dunhuang Mall, attempting to dig up some dirt on Wang Bo and pin him down for good.

This makes Su Cen feel a sense of urgency as well; if Wang Bo falls from grace, Liu Cheng and Jiang Cai might move against the Dunhuang Mall. Ultimately, they would uncover the secret connection between him and Wang Ming, which happens to be one of Su Cen's weak spots.

Unconsciously, Su Cen's fate is now intertwined with Wang Bo’s. At some point, it seems like they've both found themselves on the same sinking ship.

It appears that taking down Liu Cheng has become an imperative task at hand.

Ling Ge Ran took a deep breath as if to steady her voice after just crying; now calm, her gentle and mature voice had a touch of magnetism. "This is a special period, Su Cen, along with your uncle, both of you... don't make any phone calls."

Su Cen was taken aback for a moment before understanding that Ling Ge Ran must have learned about Wang Bo's current predicament; the matters he involves are complex and face Liu Cheng as the ultimate orchestrator behind it all. She doesn’t want to drag their family into this.

The thought of this made Su Cen’s heart stir slightly; in such a short period, Ling Ge Ran has grown up quite a bit. "Ge Ran, don't worry, I'll help Uncle Wang get out of his current situation. He is being wronged, you need to tell me the details so that I can figure something out."

Su Cen had absolute evidence against Liu Cheng, but he needed to find a reasonable way to present this evidence without Wang Bo or Lin Guozhou's help. How to deliver and consolidate these pieces of evidence is now a huge problem.

"Figure something out" Ling Ge Ran’s voice on the other end was vague, then she sighed gently, "Su Cen, I know you're smart, but be realistic for once, okay There are still too many things in this world that you can't accomplish."

After the call ended, Su Cen was left in a state of bewilderment. He then recalled that he had unintentionally used the tone and mindset from his later years while speaking just now. If he were a thirty-year-old man,

Lin Luoran would probably have obediently agreed without hesitation. However, he was merely a second-year high school student who was about the same age as her.

Furthermore, Lin Peiran considered herself mature for her age and had experienced more than one might expect at her age, making her mindset naturally more mature. At times, the way she looked at Su Cen seemed to be from a position of superiority, as if telling him that there were some things he still did not understand.

Su Cen scratched his head and decided to personally visit Wang Bo's house to check on their situation. Although there was going to be an art performance at No. 1 High School in the afternoon, and he had agreed to accompany Chen Lingshan as a backup dancer, it seemed that he would have to say sorry now.

The choreography for the backup dance had already been arranged, and previously, he had made arrangements with Chen Lingshan. If he didn't show up, she might think that he stood her up. However, due to the urgency of the matter, Su Cen originally wanted to leave without any regrets, but it seems now that he must leave some regrets behind. It's likely inevitable for Chen Lingshan to harbor a bit of resentment towards him.

Su Cen didn't even bother having lunch and bought a bag of bread and yogurt along the way, arriving at the municipal committee residential area with little appetite.

From afar, he saw Wang Bo's three-story building hidden among the gardens. However, Su Cen did not directly go to knock on the door because after entering the compound, he noticed a black sedan parked near the garden in front of Wang Bo’s apartment. There were two men inside the car, both with sharp eyes that had been locking onto him since he entered the compound. It seems they must be plainclothes officers under Inspector Jin Donghai from the municipal bureau.

Su Cen didn't think these two plainclothes officers would do anything to him if he went ahead and knocked on the door, but every move here might alert Jin Donghai and Liu Cheng. To avoid causing a commotion, Su Cen did not stop at Wang Bo's gate when passing by but instead walked past the black sedan and left from another exit.

Sitting down on a flower stand, Su Cen was genuinely troubled this time around. He indeed had evidence against Liu Cheng, but he lacked an avenue to submit it. Whether through him, his father Su Licheng, or through Zhong Jianjun, submitting the photos of cash in a fish pond related to Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission Liu Cheng would take an uncertain amount of time due to bureaucratic layers, not to mention the potential risks involved. After all, this was Su Cen's only trump card.

To quickly move against Liu Cheng, these pieces of evidence must be swiftly submitted to the desk of a provincial committee member, so that someone at such a level would see them, ensuring everything is secure.

After all, Liu Cheng is no ordinary person. As for Su Cen, or even his father Su Licheng, or Zhong Jianjun, the gap between these common folk and a provincial party committee member like Liu Cheng is enormous. How could they bridge this distance

In light of this, Su Cen found himself missing Lin Guozhou’s presence even more. In Xiahai City, only Wang Bo and Lin Guozhou knew about his influence and capabilities. Only these two individuals had genuine clout.

Sitting on the flower bed, leaves kept falling from above due to the wind. Occasionally, people would enter the tobacco and liquor shop nearby to purchase something. Cars continuously drove by on the road below as the sun began to shine brightly, signaling the start of afternoon.

At this moment, Su Cen suddenly had an idea. He immediately stood up and rushed over to the public phone at the tobacco and liquor shop to make a call through the pager service: "Uncle Zhao, please return my call."

The phone rang back quickly, with Ulyanov asking, “Who paged me just now”

"Uncle Zhao, it's me, Su Cen."

“Oh, what is it I'm quite busy over here.”

“Uncle Zhao, I need to meet you in person recently. There’s something important I want to discuss with you.”

Generally speaking, unless he recognized the page as coming from Su Cen, Zhao Lijun wouldn’t return the call. During the time when Su Cen had played a significant role in uncovering Li Yehang's cross-border fraud gang at Star Sea Square, Zhao Lijun did not treat Su Cen like an ordinary student. As such, Su Cen’s words made him pay more attention.

Zhao Lijun paused for a moment; apparently it wasn't convenient to talk on the phone there. He then happily said, "Alright, alright, how about this: Uncle Zhao is unavailable today, but tomorrow morning, you can page me back! I’ll treat you to rice noodles!"undoubtedly seen countless boys cowering and feeling inferior in front of her. Su Can smirked, “While I was hospitalized, his mother gave me money—hundreds of thousands, but I shredded it.”Xue Lingzhu...
