Chapter: 2702
Su Shoudao, as a member of the Su family, had seen many intense situations over the years. However, he felt a deep sense of panic in the presence of Charlie Wade, who was only in his twenties. He couldn’t understand why this young man from the Ye Clan was so ruthless, attacking the Su family without hesitation.
In the past, even during the fiercest rivalries between the Su and Ye families, neither side dared to use such extreme measures. Both families were powerful, like two nations with nuclear weapons—no one wanted to push the limits too far. But Charlie, the son of Ye Changying, didn’t seem to care about these unwritten rules. He had already tied up Su Shoude, showing he didn’t respect the Su family at all. Now, he was targeting Su Shoudao himself. This kind of behavior was a complete disruption of the established order!
Seeing Charlie’s relentless attitude, Su Shoudao felt tense and tried to soften his tone. He said, “Even though the families in Yanjing have been rivals for years, we still respect each other to some degree. I formed the Anti-Leaf Alliance, but I never threatened your parents’ safety. Why would you ambush and kidnap me?”
Charlie responded coldly, “Are you dead?”
Su Shoudao was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Charlie pressed on, “I’m asking you, are you dead?”
Su Shoudao scoffed, “That’s absurd. If I were dead, would I be standing here in front of you?”
Charlie nodded. “Yes, you are not dead, but my parents are dead! You keep insisting you never threatened their safety, but they have been gone for nearly 20 years. What do you have to say about that?”
Su Shoudao spoke nervously, “Do you really expect me to believe that? You can doubt me, but remember that the law says everyone is innocent until proven guilty. If you have proof that I had anything to do with your parents’ deaths, then you can do what you want. But without evidence, you can only show that I had nothing to do with it.”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Su Shoudao, you’re a bit naive. Do you think I would share my rules with you? Once you’re in my hands, the game is played by my rules. Look at what happened to your brother; that should give you a hint.”
Su Shoudao was taken aback. “I am the son of the Su family! I am the future heir! If you harm me, the Su family will retaliate!”
Charlie Wade shrugged. “If I choose to act, I’m not afraid of your family’s revenge. And this isn’t just about you; your father, Su Chengfeng, is also on my list. If I find out that anyone from the Su family is involved in my parents’ deaths or is against me, I will deal with them one by one.”
Su Shoudao panicked, “You don’t have any real evidence! Why do you keep attacking my family? This isn’t right!”
Charlie Wade sneered, “Right? What does ‘right’ even mean in this world? Your family isn’t in a position to talk about morals.”
Su Shoudao frowned, confused. “What do you mean?”
Charlie Wade smiled slyly. “You know exactly what I mean. Let me ask you, is Su Ruoli your illegitimate daughter?”
When Su Shoudao heard the name, he froze.
Su Shoudao looked a bit embarrassed and spoke hesitantly. “Ruo Li is indeed my illegitimate daughter, but I didn’t cause this!”
Charlie Wade nodded and said, “I understand. It was your father who hurt her, wasn’t it?”
Su Shoudao avoided Charlie’s intense gaze and responded uncertainly, “I don’t have solid proof of that yet. We still need to confirm if it was my father or not.”
