Caught by My Black-Stockinged Adoptive Sister!

The next morning, a piercing ray of sunlight swept past the charming, fair figure beside him and shone onto Su Bai's face.

"Y-you... you woke up so early!"

Seeing Su Bai's gaze constantly roaming over her, Han Zirou timidly revealed half of her flushed, bashful face and spoke softly.

Looking at the still-shy beauty before him, Su Bai gave a wicked smile.

"How are things at home?" Thinking of this, curiosity flickered through Su Bai's mind, and his low, magnetic voice rang out leisurely.

"Ah? Mm-hmm!" The sudden question made Han Zirou's heart tremble. Dazed, she nodded repeatedly and said timidly, "Thank you, Young Master Su. The one million for the surgery was just enough. My mother is out of the danger period now..."

"All one million has been used up?" Su Bai frowned slightly upon hearing that. What did she mean, one million for the surgery was just enough?

What about the post-surgery care expenses? The patient's later medication? None of that was a small sum.

Given Han Zirou's current situation, she definitely had no way to earn that money.

"Mm... because she stayed in the ICU for several days before, the one million has pretty much been spent." A shadow passed through Han Zirou's eyes as she spoke softly and timidly. But when she thought of her mother recovering, a radiant smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

All of this was because of Su Bai. Otherwise, mother and daughter would probably have been separated by death.

She held no resentment toward Su Bai at all. Instead, she was immensely grateful to him.

And the reason she had come over yesterday was because, in her understanding, one million had bought her outright. After all, she had heard from her best friend that even the most generous offers never exceeded one million.

"It's fine. I'll transfer another million to your card!"

Looking at the somewhat pitiful beauty before him, Su Bai waved a hand and smiled wickedly.

"But..." She was at a loss. That was a separate price.

Su Bai smiled faintly. "This is from me. Just accept it."

This little money meant little to him, but it could save Han Zirou.

He also did not want Han Zirou to do anything else for money.

Several hours later, as the noon sun slowly descended.

Han Zirou was packing her things.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The phone by the bed suddenly rang, sounding urgently, and Su Bai immediately frowned.

Su Bai did not want to answer the phone right now.

He was about to ignore it, but a glance at the screen revealed three familiar words—Su Ruoxue!

His black-stockinged adoptive sister?

Why was she calling him, and at a time like this?

His eyes narrowed. Su Bai recalled that this little sister had almost never called him before. She sounded so urgent at this hour, so perhaps something had happened.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Bai made his decision.

"Whew!"

After taking a deep breath, Su Bai picked up the phone beside him and answered. An anxious voice immediately came from the other side. "Brother! Have you seen the news online?!"

"The government suddenly released a policy supporting the new energy vehicle industry. Xiao Group's stock has already hit the daily limit, and Xiao Fan has been reappointed chairman. I'm afraid he'll make a move against our Su Household!"

"What should we do now?!"

Hearing the anxious, flustered tone on the other end, Su Bai was momentarily stunned. But then he remembered that Ruo Xue was ultimately just a high school girl, and he understood.

After all, even he could not help but shudder at this sudden news, an exclamation rising from his heart. This was just too damn outrageous!

The Protagonist Halo was truly terrifying!

Once the Son of Destiny appeared, the whole world revolved around him. In the blink of an eye, not only had some old master invested in him, but even government policies had appeared...

Fuck!

Wasn't Xiao Fan about to take off directly?

Fortunately, Su Bai had anticipated this long ago. His expression hardened, and after taking a deep breath, he comforted her in a deep yet cheerful voice. "Don't worry. I've got everything under control. Now that you've finished the college entrance exams, just have fun."

Earlier, he had already shown foresight by investing one billion when Xiao Group's stock price was at its lowest, not to mention that the old man had now told him to go all out.

If he could make Xiao Fan suffer once, then naturally he could make the guy suffer a second time. There was no need to panic.

He already had experience dealing with this brat, and he was fully confident.

Hearing Su Bai sound so certain, the unease in Su Ruoxue's heart gradually settled. She turned to look at her senior sister, Bai Yun, whose expression was equally solemn, and spoke softly.

"Senior Sister, don't worry. If my brother can't handle it, then we'll ask Master to step in!"

Just then, Han Zirou accidentally bumped her hand and let out a cry of pain.

That sound immediately froze Su Ruoxue in place. A dazed look flashed through her eyes as she instinctively asked, "Brother, what are you doing? What was that sound?!"

That was too strange. It sounded like a woman?!

Su Bai was not alone? At this time of day, was he outside? Or perhaps...

Hearing the questioning tone from the other end, Su Bai glanced helplessly at Han Zirou.

"It's nothing. I wasn't paying attention and stepped on a woman's shoe." Su Bai immediately gave his explanation without so much as blinking.

"Is that so?"

Su Ruoxue raised her brows slightly, though suspicion still flickered through her heart.

But then Su Bai's steady voice continued, "All right, let's not talk about this. I'm going to the Zhang Household later to discuss something. Just stay home and have fun."

"I'll handle Xiao Fan's matter. Bye!"

The call was immediately disconnected. Looking at the abruptly ended call, the suspicion in Su Ruoxue's eyes deepened. She could not help turning to Bai Yun beside her and asking, "Senior Sister, do you know what that sound was just now?"

Hearing this, Bai Yun, who had been standing there in a daze, finally came back to herself. A blush crossed her elegant face as she stammered softly, "It should... be just as your brother said!"

"That's good!"

In an instant, Su Ruoxue let out a sigh of relief and nodded unconsciously, unaware that Bai Yun's heart was still unable to calm down, countless thoughts surfacing in her mind...

What exactly is Su Bai doing? He shouldn't be that much of a bastard, right!

Inside Room 888 of the Hua Di Dynasty Hotel...

Su Bai looked at Han Zirou, who was covering her face with both hands, and a wicked smile crossed his lips. He spoke in a magnetic voice, "You really couldn't keep yourself composed. If we were discovered, it would cause me quite a bit of trouble!"

Han Zirou panicked and hurriedly waved her hands, wanting to apologize, but it was already too late.

"Don't! I know I was wrong... whimper..."
