Chapter: 2708
Su Zhiyu hurried over to his father, Su Shoudao, and exclaimed, “Dad, why did Grandpa do this? Why did he kill my mother?”
Feeling ashamed, Su Shoudao replied, “Your grandpa’s actions were aimed at your mother, not you. He didn’t realize you were there at the time.”
Su Zhiyu’s anger flared, and he shouted, “What’s the difference? He had people kill my mother! Don’t you think I’ll want revenge on him later?”
Su Shoudao fell silent, unsure of what to say. After a moment, he sighed and spoke, “What can I do? Your grandfather is leaving Australia tonight. If I say anything, I’ll leave too. He controls all the resources of the Su family, and everyone is under his influence.”
Fuming, Su Zhiyu asked, “What about Su Ruoli? She’s your daughter too. It’s because of Grandpa that she’s in danger. My mother and I almost died in Jinling because of him. Isn’t that enough for you to seek revenge for us?”
With his hands covering his face, Su Shoudao cried, “I feel the same way, but what can I do? If I break away from the Su family, I’ll have nothing. I can only mobilize a tiny fraction of what the Su family has. It’s hard for you to seek revenge, and even protecting yourself is tough. I have to endure this humiliation until I become the Su Family Patriarch.”
Disappointed, Su Zhiyu shook his head and said, “Dad, I know you. Even if you become the Patriarch, you won’t seek revenge. You’ll only focus on your position.”
Su Shoudao waved his hands vigorously, “No, I wouldn’t be like that!”
Charlie Wade said coldly, “You’re not the kind of person I thought you were. With your daughters’ lives hanging in the balance, why are you here in front of your wife and children? Tell me, why did you come to Jinling?”
Su Shoudao quickly replied, “I came to Jinling to find my wives. Did you find them?”
Charlie sneered, “Jinling is full of my spies. I haven’t heard anything about you searching for your wives. All I know is that you came here quietly and stayed at Buckingham Palace to get closer to Takehiko Ito from Japan.”
He continued, “You want to meet him because your family’s shipping permit has been revoked, and you’re losing money every day. So, you’re looking to work with the Ito family to move your blocked shipping business to Japan, right?”
Su Shoudao was momentarily speechless. He finally said, “This is what my father asked me to do. I couldn’t say no.”
Charlie chuckled, “Come on, Su Shoudao. Su Zhiyu was right when she said that what you really care about is being the head of the Su family. It’s not about love for your kids. You’d sacrifice anything, even your loved ones, for that position.”
Su Shoudao strongly denied it, saying, “It’s not that I’m willing to do anything for my daughter. I just haven’t been able to help them before.”
“Oh really?” Charlie looked at him with a sneer. “You said you’d do anything for your daughter. Do you mean it?”
Without hesitation, Su Shoudao replied, “I swear to heaven!”
Charlie nodded with a smile. “I remember you said you’d give your life for your daughters. Now is the time to prove how sincere you are.”
After that, he turned around.
He said to Chen Zekai outside the door, “Go, bring another guest here.”
Chen Zekai knew right away that the guest he meant was Su Ruoli. Without hesitation, he replied, “Of course, master. Just wait a moment, and I will go invite her.”
