Chapter: 2697
Charlie Wade said, “Next, check the background of this company! Look into its ownership structure!”
“Got it!” Chen Zekai replied. He began his investigation, saying, “Master, I found out that this company is fully owned by a technology firm in Yuzhou. That technology firm is backed by an investment fund and a partnership. The investment fund is Yanjing Siwu Capital!”
Charlie Wade asked, “Siwu Capital? Who owns it?”
Chen Zekai quickly explained, “Siwu Capital is one of many businesses run by the Su family. ‘Siwu’ comes from the Chinese Pinyin Siwusu!”
“The Su family?” Charlie Wade frowned. “I overheard someone next door calling someone ‘Master.’ Could the old man I live next to be Su Chengfeng?”
Chen Zekai looked surprised. “Master, isn’t Su Chengfeng supposed to come to Jinling himself?”
Charlie Wade smiled and said, “If it’s not Su Chengfeng, it could be Su Shoudao.”
“Su Shoudao?” Chen Zekai responded, “Even if he wants to get close to Ito Takehiko, wouldn’t it be risky for him to come here? Buckingham Palace is a trap!”
Charlie Wade sneered, “That’s where he’s clever. Jinling is the Ye family’s territory. If he’s coming here, he’s thought it through. People like him understand the idea of being hidden in plain sight. Just like an old oil lamp on a table can light up the room, but it doesn’t shine on the small area right under it.”
In the room, the area closest to the light had unexpectedly turned into the darkest and most hidden spot. Charlie Wade, who lived in Buckingham Palace, was sure we wouldn’t see this coming. “Surprise!” he exclaimed.
He continued, “If I didn’t have better hearing than most, I would never have noticed this. If I can detect it, then it must be nearly impossible for you and your men to find. So, in that sense, Su Shoudao did a pretty good job; he used his brains.”
Chen Zekai quickly asked, “Master, if it really is Su Shoudao, what should we do?”
Charlie Wade replied with a sneer, “Whether it’s him or not, it has to be the Su family involved. They’re like sheep waiting to be taken down. If I don’t act against them, I’d be letting the Su family off easy. It’s time for bold moves.”
He then commanded, “Get your people ready and place a signal blocker in the room directly below us. Don’t turn it on yet. Also, prepare to listen for my orders. When I say, activate it. At the same time, cut off the surveillance video on my floor. Got it?”
“Understood, Master!” Chen Zekai responded without hesitation.
Meanwhile, in the next room, Su Shoudao had sent his men away. He took a shower and wrapped himself in a bathrobe. Standing in front of the mirror, he carefully styled his hair with hairspray. He was already plotting how to persuade someone to cooperate with the Su family for a meeting with Takehiko Ito.
The Su family’s ocean transportation license had been suspended, causing a huge impact and significant loss of income. Many ships were unable to operate.
The daily costs of maintenance, depreciation, and leasing were incredibly high, along with the return needed. There were many seafarers and employees to support, and the daily losses were around 100 million.
For Su Shoudao, this was his first chance to turn things around since coming back from Australia. Winning this battle was important for him. If he succeeded, he could earn the respect of the elders again.
This situation was crucial for Su Shoudao. It could determine whether he would inherit the position of head of the Su family and all its wealth in the future.
