Chapter: 2854
Su Zhiyu listened as Su Chengfeng spoke openly about his thoughts. She felt relieved, thinking, “Talking to smart people is easy. They get straight to the point, which saves a lot of time.”
With that, she decided to be honest about her feelings. “You’re right. I want some compensation for my mother and me. We deserve it.” She continued, “And it’s not just for us; it’s for my dad too. I heard he, like my second uncle, has gone missing. He has been working for the Su family, and I think those who are missing should receive compensation.”
Su Chengfeng looked at her and asked, “Zhiyu, don’t you know what happened to your father? He disappeared in Jinling, and I believe it has a lot to do with your benefactor.”
Su Zhiyu shook her head. “I don’t know the details of my dad’s disappearance. All I know is that he went to Jinling to help the Su family negotiate with the Japanese.”
Su Chengfeng sighed and replied, “Your dad did go to Jinling for that. He was supposed to meet Ito Takehiko from the Ito family. But he never met him and has since vanished. Just before he disappeared, he transferred 100 million U.S. dollars from the family to an unknown overseas account. I suspect he might have been kidnapped.”
Then, Su Chengfeng asked, “Do you really know about this? Did you ask your benefactor about it, or did he not tell you?”
Su Zhiyu responded calmly, “He never mentioned it to me. But I don’t think he has any reason to go after my dad. My dad never did anything to offend him, and the troubles my mom and I faced have nothing to do with him.”
Chengfeng’s expression darkened when he heard this. “Zhiyu mentioned that Shou Daojian upset her benefactor because he was involved in the accident with her and her mother. Is she implying that it’s my fault?”
He continued, “So, does that mean I upset her benefactor by planning to assassinate Du Haiqing? Is he planning to come after me now?”
Su Zhiyu’s words carried a hint of a threat, which gave Chengfeng a headache. He realized he couldn’t directly confront her. He needed to smooth things over with Su Zhiyu first and figure out who her benefactor was. If he could give Xuan Fengnian some leads and let him handle the situation, he could put this problem to rest for good.
So, he quickly softened his tone and said, “Zhiyu, I truly regret what happened to you and your mother. Your father’s accident was because of the Su family, and I want to make it right…”
He paused, then added, “Zhiyu, just tell me what you want as compensation. I’ll do my best to fulfill your request.”
At first, Su Zhiyu had no interest in making any deals with Chengfeng. She didn’t care about money, and she found it hard to forgive him for what he had done. However, after Charlie Wade told her she would become the Su Family Patriarch in three years, she started to rethink her approach.
In the past, she had been passive in the family, but now she wanted to take charge. So, she asked Chengfeng, “Is my dad meeting Yuuhiko Ito for the ocean shipping business?”
“Yes,” Chengfeng replied.
Frankly said, “Our ocean shipping business is now on hold. We’re unhappy with the Su family, so we haven’t been willing to let things go. Your dad wants to take our ship and resources and move everything to Japan. He plans to use the Japanese company’s shipping permits, routes, and terminals to keep this business running. But it’s a pity…”
At that moment, Su Zhiyu spoke up. “I want the Su family to hand over this business to me. From now on, I will manage all of the Su family’s ocean transportation, and I will control all related resources.”
