Chapter: 2686

Su Shou Dao sighed, consoling him: "Know-nothing, don't be too hard on yourself. This situation is already beyond your control's scope. I'll say something unpleasant - even Grandpa has lost control of the direction of this affair. What more can you do?"

Know-nothing cried out: "I don't want to get involved in his affairs! I just want to quickly find Mother and Qiu Yu, and they must be safe and sound. Otherwise, I'll never forgive that old scoundrel!"

As he said that, Su Know-nothing hurriedly said: "Dad! Please hurry back and help me, Dad! Without you, my abilities are too limited......"

Su Shou Dao hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Know-nothing, first find a place to settle down in Jinling, but don't reveal your whereabouts to the outside world. I'll wait for Grandpa's move. See what he plans to do next..."

In reality, from Su Shou Dao's perspective, he had already seen news reports and watched Qiu Chengming's video, and he hated him with every fiber of his being. However, he still dared not directly confront Qiu Chengming.

The reason he didn't dare to show his face was very simple: it's because his abilities were inadequate.

This was like when the Guangxu Emperor faced Empress Cixi, with the entire empire and military power in her hands. The Guangxu Emperor may have been the emperor, but he was essentially no match for her.

Moreover, Su Shou Dao didn't even hold the position of head of the Su family, let alone being a real decision-maker. It was Su Chengming who truly held that position.

Furthermore, there were significant differences between modern and feudal societies.

In feudal society, it was possible to plot against the throne, but in modern society, everything relied on laws and regulations. The assets of the entire Su clan were almost all under the name of the old master, with other shareholders holding shares but having no voting rights.

Trying to take away the old master's power was simply impossible, even if he killed him. The shares held by the old master would be transferred to large trust funds, and family members could only receive a steady income from those funds without being able to grasp control of the Su clan.

Therefore, Su Shou Dao, knowing that the old master planned to kill his wife and another daughter, didn't have the courage to go back and confront him head-on.

Because as soon as he dared to leave Australia without permission, there was a high chance he would be placed under house arrest.

It's precisely because of this, he was extremely worried about Su Zhi Yu's safety, but still dared not leave Australia a step, until the old master spoke up.

He didn't even dare to make a phone call to question the old master, because once he angered the old master, his fate would only become more dire on the existing foundation.

Su Zhi Yu wasn't young and hadn't really experienced anything, but this life had experienced its biggest and most severe event - being kidnapped in Japan.

In fact, that time when he was kidnapped, he had already gone mad with fear.

The entire process was like a half-dead sparrow, far less calm than his sister Su Zhi Yu, so all the pressure was concentrated on his own shoulders, pressing him to the point where he couldn't catch his breath.

He yearned more than anything for his father to return and take charge, but unfortunately, he dared not defy the old master, while his father did not dare either.

When he heard that his father wanted to wait a bit longer, Su Zhi Yu became unable to control his emotions, shouting loudly: "Wait again? What are you waiting for? Are you going to come back after your mother and Zhi Yu's death notice?"

Su Shou Dao felt at this moment as if every word his son said was like a loud slap in the face, striking his own cheek so hard that he felt his heart was bleeding.

But he had no way out.

He had experienced things far more than Su Zhi Yu.

He knew what it meant to be a brave but reckless fool, and he also knew what it meant to plan before taking action.

People who act without thinking are always courting danger, even when they're aware that their opponents have a gun. JrNovels.com
