Can He Hear His Little Brother's Thoughts?

What shocked Su Yinan was something else entirely. The moment Su Leyun's inner voice rang out, his eyes widened.

What had he just heard? Could he have misheard? Where had that child's voice come from?

He looked around. There were no other children nearby, and the voice had called him "big brother," so it could only have been his little brother, Su Leyun.

But how could Su Leyun, a baby barely two months old, speak?

And his mouth had not even moved!

Could it be... that he could hear his little brother's thoughts?

The last time he had visited the postpartum care center, Su Leyun had been asleep. He had looked like an ordinary baby then. Who would have thought their next meeting would be this shocking?

But that was not all that shocked him. In Su Leyun's story just now, Wen Jing had been pregnant, yet she had not told him about it on the rooftop!

Just what kind of being was his little brother?

Su Yinan was too shocked to speak. The only fortunate thing was that, although he did not know what was going on with Su Leyun, Su Leyun did not seem to bear him any ill will. He had even... been willing to call him big brother!

Su Yinan felt much more at ease.

Su Minghui rubbed Su Yinan's head with considerable relief. She had known it—her son was kind by nature. He would never do something so cruel and heartless.

"Don't worry. No matter what happens, Mom will stand by your side."

She looked up at Wen Jing's agitated mother. "Before the truth comes to light, that possibility cannot be ruled out. Ma'am, perhaps you should think carefully—did Wen Jing ever show any unusual behavior at home?"

The question stunned Wen Jing's mother. She instinctively looked at the stepfather, who replied righteously, "Why are you looking at me? I work myself to death outside earning money to support the Household. Taking care of the child is your job!"

More like working himself to death gambling outside, Su Leyun grumbled as he watched the show. Though he knew all things and had witnessed countless shifts between warmth and coldness in human relationships, people as vile as this stepfather still grated on his eyes whenever he saw them.

Wen Jing's mother came back to her senses, swallowed, and continued cursing, "My daughter is perfectly fine! What do you mean by that? You're just trying to shirk responsibility, aren't you?!"

As she spoke, she bared her teeth and claws and lunged forward.

At the crucial moment, Su Yinan stepped up and separated the two women. "Don't touch my mom!"

The stepfather rushed over as well. "You murderer! How dare you speak!"

The two sides were at each other's throats, and just as they were about to come to blows, the emergency room doors suddenly opened. A masked doctor came out and was also startled by the scene before him.

"This is a hospital, a public place. Please mind your behavior!"

Su Yinan was the first to approach. "Doctor, how is Wen Jing?"

The doctor's gaze was grave. "The injured patient's condition is still unstable. She is currently five weeks pregnant. Because her abdomen suffered a severe impact during the fall, the baby cannot be saved."

"We are still doing everything we can to save the patient," the doctor emphasized again. "Please remain quiet."

Everyone present was stunned by the doctor's words. Wen Jing was only sixteen, and she had always been an excellent, well-behaved student. No one could connect her with pregnancy.

Su Yinan blurted out, "She really was pregnant..."

How had Su Leyun known?

After hearing that, Zhou Guomin immediately slapped him. The sound was crisp and loud. Su Yinan's face was knocked to one side, and he nearly lost his footing.

Su Minghui stared in disbelief, then shoved Zhou Guomin and yelled, "What are you doing?! If you have something to say, say it properly! Why did you hit the child?!"

Zhou Guomin's face turned red with anger. "He made such a huge mistake. Am I not allowed to hit him?"

"This brat has been unruly since he was little. I went through so much trouble to get him into this school, only hoping he would stop causing trouble everywhere. Did I send him here to knock up someone else's daughter?!"

Wen Jing's family had been too shocked by the news of her pregnancy to speak, but Zhou Guomin's words gave them a new line of thought.

Wen Jing's mother even came up with an entire story. "You must have toyed with my daughter, then refused to take responsibility after you found out she was pregnant, so you pushed her downstairs, didn't you?!"

The stepfather shamelessly added, "Our Wen Jing was a pure, innocent girl, and she was deceived by a brat like you!"

The two of them sat on the floor, crying and making a scene. Zhou Guomin kept apologizing and making promises beside them. Su Minghui's head buzzed as she shouted, "Everyone, be quiet!"

They actually fell silent, staring at her blankly.

"What's done is done. Arguing about it now is just a waste of time." Su Minghui paused, looking helpless. "There's no other way..."

The stepfather thought they had yielded, and his eyes immediately lit up.

He had asked around just now. This boy's surname was Su! He was the young master of the famous Su Corporation in the Imperial Capital! Even a tiny fraction of their wealth would be enough for him to live in luxury for the rest of his life!

And now there was the additional death of an unborn child. If they did not want their son to go to prison, they would have to let him control them!

The stepfather practically saw a life of extravagant luxury waving at him.

But Su Minghui said, "Call the police."

"We can't call the police!" The first to object was the stepfather.

He had a record of petty theft, and he was terrified of the police. Besides, he was far from innocent in Wen Jing's situation. What if they really uncovered something? Wouldn't he be setting himself on fire?

Su Minghui raised her phone. The call record with 110 was still displayed on the screen. "Sorry, I've already called the police."

At the same time, the emergency room doors opened again.

The doctor removed his mask. "The patient's condition has stabilized. She is out of immediate danger for now. Once we finish up, we'll transfer her directly to a ward."

Su Yinan let out a breath of relief, and his whole body relaxed considerably. Su Minghui was also happy for the poor girl.

Zhou Guomin's expression, however, was rather complicated. He had thought he could use this opportunity to get rid of Su Yinan once and for all, but now that plan had fallen through.

Yet this good news did not make Wen Jing's parents very happy.

The stepfather practically had guilt written all over his face. He wanted to run away, but fleeing now would only make him more suspicious. Besides, he believed Wen Jing would not tell anyone about that matter.

Wen Jing's mother had quieted down considerably as well. Sitting off to the side, she muttered, "Disasters live for a thousand years..."

Before long, police officers arrived at the scene.

As the person who had called the police, Su Minghui stepped forward and briefly explained the situation. Wen Jing's mother and stepfather were not about to be outdone, chattering on and on. In essence, they accused Su Yinan of attempted murder.

The police would not take only their word for it. They first found the teacher to learn about the situation, then came over to Su Yinan, one of the parties involved.
