Chapter: 2932
Su Chengfeng nodded and sighed, saying, “It’s easy to leave Suhang, but where do we go now?”
Su An quickly suggested, “Master, let’s go back to Yanjing!”
Su Chengfeng frowned and replied, “Returning to Yanjing might not be safe. His strength is unpredictable. He was able to take Shoude right under Old He’s nose. Who knows what else he might try? I can’t risk him capturing me too.”
He continued, “Honestly, it might not be safe anywhere. Even if we escape to the South China Sea, he could find us in just three hours by plane.”
Old He, who had been listening, chimed in, “Master, how about going to the Maldives to lay low for a while? The weather there is nice, and it’s far away on a separate island. We can also make security arrangements.”
He explained, “In the Maldives, the local government has sold most of the islands and only keeps a few large ones for themselves. For the sold islands, there’s no police presence at all. We would be on our own, which gives us more freedom to operate.”
“If you agree, I can ask my brother for help. We can hire some mercenaries from the Middle East and West. The Blackwater Company in the U.S. has many well-trained mercenaries. We could hire hundreds of them to guard the island and ensure that no one gets in. This way, your safety would be much better protected.”
The Su family is very wealthy and owns homes in many countries around the world. They have real estate in all developed nations, which means they have a place to stay wherever they go. They also own resorts in popular vacation spots like the Maldives, Phuket, Bali, and Tahiti. In fact, the Su family has purchased several islands in the Maldives. Some of these islands have been turned into luxurious hotels, while one island is set aside for the family’s private resort.
During this time, the weather in Suzhou and Hangzhou is still a bit cold and damp, but the Maldives, located near the equator, enjoys pleasant weather, making it a perfect spot for a vacation.
As Mr. He mentioned, in a place like the Maldives, the government struggles to manage all the islands. Generally, if someone buys an island, they have a lot of freedom to do what they want with it. Even if there are local laws against certain activities, money can often change the situation, giving owners a lot of flexibility.
This means that once in the Maldives, it would be possible to set up a strong defense system quickly. If high-level mercenaries from the Blackwater Company were called in as Mr. He suggested, the island’s defenses could become so robust that they might not be vulnerable even to the local military.
However, Mr. He didn’t fully consider Su Chengfeng’s personality and his family’s circumstances. Su Chengfeng is not one to leave unless he absolutely must. For him, going abroad to avoid trouble is a last resort, something he would only think about if he felt his life was in danger. He understands that once he leaves, it could change everything for him.
Su Chengfeng felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. If he left China, he would lose control of the Su family, and they might fall apart. He also feared that he might never return from this trip. Even if the mysterious man stopped chasing him, once his children gained something from it, they would never allow him to come back. The thought filled him with dread.
With determination, Su Chengfeng turned to Su Anshun and He Lao. “I can’t leave China unless it’s absolutely necessary!” he said, gritting his teeth.
Su Anshun, worried, asked, “Master, that man is very powerful. What should we do now?”
Su Chengfeng paused for a moment, then replied seriously, “Right now, only Zhiyu can help me!”
