Chapter: 2805

The helicopter flew quickly towards the He family’s compound. He Hongsheng stood in the courtyard, dressed in a thin coat, waiting for its arrival. Su Anshun had called him before landing and transferring to the helicopter.

He Hongsheng had no desire to meet anyone from the Su family, not even their housekeeper. However, Su Anshun mentioned that he was sent by Elder Su, which made He Hongsheng feel a bit embarrassed. He knew that while the He family was skilled in martial arts, they were small compared to the powerful Su family.

Throughout history, martial artists often served the wealthy. Few would dare to challenge the rich, especially a long-standing family like the Hes, which had built its reputation over centuries. He Hongsheng understood that offending the Su family could threaten the very foundation of the He family. So, he felt he had to at least act polite on the surface since Su Anshun was representing Elder Su.

He was not alone; his eldest son, He Yingquan, stood beside him. He was the older brother of He Yingxiu and a key member of the next generation of the He family. As the helicopter descended, He Hongsheng felt a mix of seriousness and anger, knowing he had to be respectful to the Su family, even though they were responsible for his granddaughter’s death.

He Yingquan, noticing his father’s tension, reminded him, “Dad, when you meet Su Anshun, please try to stay calm and don’t let your emotions take over.”

He Hongsheng felt uneasy after hearing those words. He knew he shouldn’t get angry with Su Anshun, but what the eldest son said left him feeling a bit trapped. Even though he wanted to express his frustration, he realized that he couldn’t afford to confront Su Anshun, which only made things worse.

He Yingquan had already figured out why Su Anshun had come. The Su family was looking for the He family, and their hurried visit meant one thing: the He family needed something. In reality, the He family didn’t have many resources. If they were a store, they would be like a vendor selling just one item, much like a street seller of candied haws. If you went to him, you would only go to buy candied haws.

So, he was sure that Su Anshun was there to bring the He family back into the fold of the Su family. This matched his expectations perfectly. After the He family had cut ties with the Su family, life had become difficult for Su Anshun. The He family used to help support the younger generation, which cost a lot of money. Now that income was gone.

To make matters worse, Su Anshun had spent hundreds of millions of dollars searching for Su Ruoli. While that seems like a lot of money, using it to find someone lost in the vast ocean was a daunting task. The ocean covers 70% of the Earth, and even a powerful U.S. aircraft carrier group would struggle to search effectively. Finding just one person, like Su Ruoli, seemed nearly impossible.
