The bartender was trembling, his eyes wandering between the five people, finally fixing on Lu Nanxu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.

He closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath, as if gathering up his courage. “That night, someone found me, gave me some money, and asked me to put drugs in the drinks you ordered… But I didn’t do it.”

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Xin Mujing stood up abruptly, clenched his fists, and was filled with anger. "You knew someone wanted to harm us, but you still took the money?!" His voice trembled with anger, as if he was about to explode in the next second.

However, Lu Nanxu quickly stepped forward, held Xin Mujing's shoulder, and signaled him to calm down. "Let him continue talking." Lu Nanxu's tone was still calm, but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

The bartender felt the pressure eased a little, and continued quickly: "I know your identities are not simple, and I dare not offend you easily. So although I took the money, I just coaxed that woman into saying that I succeeded. I really didn't drug her, I promise!" There was a hint of pleading in his voice, fearing that the people in front of him would not believe him.

"Who is that woman?" Lu Nanxu asked, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"I... I don't know her name." The bartender's voice became smaller and smaller, almost drowned out by the surrounding silence.

"Okay, you can go now." Lu Nanxu waved his hand, signaling his men to take the bartender away from the scene. The bartender stood up as if he had been pardoned, and almost fled out of the room.

When the door was gently closed, Xin Mujing couldn't help but burst out: "These bastards actually dared to touch us!" He punched the coffee table angrily, shaking the teacups on it slightly.

"Calm down, Xin Mujing." Lu Nanxu patted his shoulder gently. "Now that we know the whole story, we have a direction. The next step is to find that woman."

The others also nodded, their eyes revealing firmness and determination.

……

The night was dark, and the lights of the city flickered in the distance, adding a touch of uneasiness to this sudden twist. In Fu Jingyan's office, the lights were on, and he stared at the surveillance video on the screen, his brows furrowed, his expression solemn.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the picture. It was Su Su, a name that no one expected.

"A Xu, look at this." Fu Jingyan's voice was low and contained a hint of disbelief.

Hearing this, Lu Nanxu quickly moved closer to the screen and checked the image over and over again. After finally confirming that it was correct, his expression became complicated. "Su Su...how could it be her?"

"Let Lu Yi check Su Su's current situation immediately. We need to figure out everything as soon as possible." Fu Jingyan gave the order decisively, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Lu Nanxu nodded, then picked up his phone and quickly dialed Lu Er's number. "Lu Er, check Su Su's recent situation immediately, especially whether she has any abnormal behavior. The sooner the better."

Not long after, Lu Er hurried back with the news, his face full of surprise. "Boss, I found out that Su Su is... pregnant."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. Thinking of the photos Ji Yan received, everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation. Anger, disappointment, confusion...all kinds of emotions intertwined in their hearts.

"It's her, it must be her who did it!" Xin Mujing clenched his fists, indignant.

"Looking back now, what happened to Yanyan in the bathroom that day was really heartbreaking." Lu Nanxu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, "We must not let such people get away with it."

"Lu Er, go and bring Su Su here now. I want to ask her in person." Lu Nanxu gave the order with an irresistible force in his tone.

Lu Er took the order and left. The room fell into silence again. Zheng Haoqian looked at the time and said softly, "Yan Yan will wake up soon. I have to go to the hospital to accompany her. What about you? Do you want to go with me?"

Fu Jingyan and Helian Minxiao looked at each other and nodded. They were also concerned about Ji Yan and the child, and at this moment they just wanted to see them as soon as possible to give them comfort and strength.

So, the three of them left one after another, leaving only Xin Mujing and Lu Nanxu.

……

The sun was shining and the breeze was not dry. Su Su was strolling on the bustling street, holding in her hands the small clothes she had carefully selected for the new life that was to be born, her face filled with the glow of motherhood.

Her mood was as bright as the clear sky until an unexpected encounter broke the tranquility.

"Miss Su?" A slightly hesitant voice came from behind. Su Su turned around and saw Lu Er standing not far away with a complicated expression on his face.

"Lu Er? Why are you here?" Su Su was a little surprised, but then she thought of a possibility and felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.

"I'm here to pick you up to meet Mr. Lu." Lu Er's words were concise and clear, but they made Su Su's heart skip a beat.

"Really? That's great!" Su Su was so excited that she almost jumped up. She quickly said goodbye to her friends beside her and couldn't wait to follow Lu Er to the car parked on the side of the road.

In the car, Lu Er looked through the rearview mirror and saw Su Su in the back seat smiling, her eyes twinkling like stars. He felt an indescribable emotion rising in his heart. He secretly looked forward to what the next scene would be like.

Soon, the car stopped in front of an apartment. Su Su couldn't wait to open the door, ran into the house, and saw Lu Nanxu sitting on the sofa.

Her heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She pounced forward with great anticipation, but was gently dodged just as she was about to touch him.

"Brother Nanxu..." Su Su was stunned, looking at him in disbelief, her eyes gradually turning red. She hurried forward and eagerly grabbed Lu Nanxu's sleeve, "I have something to tell you, I..."

"Ms. Su, please respect yourself." Lu Nanxu interrupted her in a calm and firm voice.

Su Su took a deep breath and mustered up her courage, "I'm almost three months pregnant with your child. He will be coming into this world soon." Her voice trembled slightly, full of anticipation and anxiety.

However, Xin Mujing couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the silent air. "Ms. Su, you are so wishful thinking. The person you were with that night was not Axu at all. He never left the box."

Su Su's face turned pale instantly. She shook her head and muttered to herself, "No, this is not true... this is not true..." Her eyes were full of despair and confusion, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Lu Nanxu looked at Su Su with mixed feelings. He spoke slowly, his voice soft but with unquestionable strength: "Su Su, you should face the reality. There has never been anything between us, and your child is not mine. But if you need help, I will do my best."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was so heavy that it was suffocating.
