Chapter 732: The Broken Appointment
The bodyguard's rescue came too late.
Shu Tianqi was shot three times, and each bullet hit a vital part of his body. In the end, he did not receive medical treatment and died before he was taken to the operating room.
Shu Tianqi is dead.
As Shu Junzuo's only son, his death also represented a gap in the male lineage of the entire Shu family.
When Mr. Shu saw that the murderer was Song Yaozu, he almost collapsed!
Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
He never dreamed that this sentence would actually be proven true in their Shu family.
Uncle De also fell into deep self-blame.
Old Master Shu emphasized early on that the roots of the problem must be eradicated, but he tried many methods but failed to get rid of Song Yaozu who was in Yangcheng Prison.
This gave Song Yaozu the opportunity to escape from prison and take revenge on the Shu family.
This eventually led to such a disaster.
"It's all my fault. If I had been more careful and gotten rid of Song Yaozu earlier, the young master wouldn't have gotten into trouble. It's my incompetence that caused the young lady to suffer this disaster. Master, I'm sorry."
Uncle De was in tears. Being of the same age, he knelt down in front of Grandpa Shu, his heart full of regret.
Old Master Shu looked at his granddaughter Shu Wen in the ward.
The old eyes are full of vicissitudes of life.
"It's not your fault, get up."
"Master~!" Uncle De didn't stand up.
Mr. Shu did not go to help Uncle De, but said to himself:
"I remember when I first came to Hong Kong, my father once said to me, 'If our Shu family wants to stand firm on this land for a hundred years, we must take the right path and not follow the old path of the Cao Gang.'"
"Now that I think about it, it really is karma."
"If I hadn't wiped out the Song family, perhaps there wouldn't be such a disaster today."
"Tianqi took the blame for me!"
"It's my fault, it's me!"
Mr. Shu's words were full of regret and self-blame.
Many people regard Mr. Shu as a great hero, but today, facing the death of his son and the uncertainty of his granddaughter's life and death, this old man who has been active in Hong Kong for decades has finally revealed his vulnerable side.
Outside the building.
A large number of police officers have blocked the hospital gate, and a large number of reporters who heard the news have surrounded the hospital gate.
There is never a shortage of gossip in Hong Kong, but what interests people the most in Hong Kong is still the gossip about the wealthy families!
The Shu family is also one of the top families in Hong Kong. The fact that one of their family members was attacked by a killer in the hospital is definitely news that these reporters cannot miss.
Almost all news media in Hong Kong are trying their best to get first-hand information.
At this moment, several major directors of Renhe Private Hospital were also overwhelmed.
Shu Tianqi, the heir of the wealthy Shu family, was unexpectedly shot dead in their hospital. Once this news spreads, no wealthy family will be willing to come to their hospital anymore, even without the Shu family putting any pressure on them.
After all, for these wealthy families, safety is more important than anything else!
The killer was able to sneak into the VIP floor silently, which means there is a huge loophole in their hospital's security.
And the reality is just as these directors worried.
After the news of Shu Tianqi's assassination at Renhe Private Hospital was urgently inserted into the morning news, their hospital began to receive calls from VIP customers requesting to cancel their memberships.
11: noon.
After finishing her morning classes, Su Mengyao took one or two taxis from the school gate and arrived at the Madiel Hotel on Central Avenue.
This was an agreement between her and Lu Ye. Lu Ye would call her at noon.
One is to report safety.
The more important hidden meaning is that Su Mengyao wants to declare Lu Ye's sovereignty to Shu Wen in this way.
There weren't many people in the international long-distance telephone room.
Su Mengyao first came to the message board and looked at it carefully, but did not find any message from Lu Ye on it.
Then he waited by the side.
I glanced at my watch and saw that there were still about 8 minutes until the agreed time of 12 o'clock.
Su Mengyao looked at the phone in front of her, feeling both anxious and expectant.
Time passed by minute by minute.
During this time, someone also used the phone dedicated to international long-distance calls.
Su Mengyao was still very worried. If the other party fought for too long and Lu Ye couldn't get in by 12 o'clock, it would be troublesome.
However, her worries did not last long. The man just looked at his watch and spoke quickly for less than two minutes before hanging up the phone in a hurry.
After all, international long-distance call charges cannot be measured by whether they are cheap or not, but rather by being ridiculously expensive.
Time passed by minute by minute.
When all the pointers pointed to the number 12, the phone in front of Su Mengyao did not ring at all.
Su Mengyao was a little angry. According to the time, this was only Lu Ye's first day in Hong Kong. He promised to call her, but he was late again.
"What a nuisance!"
Su Mengyao muttered softly.
Then continue to wait.
At first, Su Mengyao just thought that maybe the time in Hong Kong was different from that in Binjiang, so Lu Ye failed to call her on time.
Later I remembered that Hong Kong and the mainland belong to the same East 8 District, and there is no so-called time difference between the two.
Su Mengyao thought again that maybe Lu Ye was delayed by something.
······
Waiting is very torturous.
Su Mengyao spent nearly an hour waiting anxiously.
"This bastard doesn't keep his word!"
Su Mengyao, who was already a little angry, decided not to wait any longer and took out the Shu family's phone number that she had asked from Lu Ye.
Su Mengyao immediately picked up the phone and started dialing according to the instructions on the paper.
Not long after, the call was connected.
"Hey?"
"Hello, is this Shu Wen's home? I'm looking for Lu Ye." Su Mengyao didn't realize what was wrong with her words.
"Excuse me, who are you?" A slightly older female voice asked on the other end of the phone, speaking in a thick Cantonese accent.
Fortunately, Su Mengyao had spent some time in Hong Kong and understood the meaning of this sentence.
"I'm Su Mengyao, Lu Ye's fiancée. Lu Ye went to see Shu Wen. Isn't he at your house?" Su Mengyao replied.
"We don't have anyone named Lu Ye here, and our lady isn't here either. Please call back later."
Without answering Su Mengyao's question, the other party spoke quickly and then hung up the phone with a click.
Beep beep beep....
Hearing a series of busy tones, Su Mengyao stomped her feet in anger.
Lu Ye didn't call as agreed, and when she called herself she couldn't even find him. How could Su Mengyao not be angry?
What Su Mengyao didn't know was that Lu Ye was still lying on the ICU bed, with no sign of waking up.
