Chapter: 2687

Someone who's always willing to sacrifice themselves for others is unlikely to become a famous general like someone who can turn the tide of battle with one swift stroke.

His son was infuriating him, and in his opinion, he had already made a foolish move. If he were to defy his father's wishes at this sensitive moment and run back home, it would be equivalent to hitting his father's sore spot, and once his father thought he was being rebellious, he would never have the chance to start anew.

Therefore, he could only patiently explain: "Zhiwei, you're asking me to go back and help you, but do you know that, given your grandfather's character, if I were to go back now, I wouldn't even get a chance to see his face before I lose my freedom? And it's possible that you may never have the chance to see me again."

As he spoke, he hesitated for a few seconds and then said sincerely: "Zhiwei, listen to Dad once. It's too late now, so first make sure your safety in Jinling tomorrow, and then contact your grandfather and your uncle to ask them to send someone to help you find out what happened to your mother and sister. Give me one day, if I don't hear from Grandfather by the end of this day, I'll go see him and get his approval for me to return."

Zhiwei's heart was filled with anger.

But after calming down, he also realized that Dad wasn't being unreasonable.

On the contrary, Dad had thought it through carefully. It was himself who was actually acting too impulsively.

Thinking about this, he whispered: "Dad, I understand now......just don't worry about me anymore. I'll make a phone call to Grandfather soon, and if anything changes, I'll communicate with you."

"Ah, okay... don't make a call to Grandfather tonight, I guess he's probably already planning how to find your mom and sister right now. Don't bother him, just say it tomorrow instead!" he instructed.

Just as he was speaking, his phone suddenly buzzed with another incoming call notification. He exclaimed in surprise: "Grandfather is calling me!"

Receiving a call from Su Chengfeng, Su Shoudao felt both within reason and beyond.

He quickly calmed down his son two sentences and hung up the phone, then connected to Su Chengfeng's incoming call, eager to clarify Su Chengfeng's intentions.

On the line, Su Shoudao spoke nervously: "Dad... You... why are you calling me so late?"

Su Chengfeng sighed on the other end of the phone and opened his mouth to say: "Ah, Shoudao, Dad is calling to apologize."

As he spoke, he asked: "Have you already seen the videos circulating online?"

Su Shoudao replied truthfully: "Yes, Dad, I have indeed seen them."

As he finished speaking, Su Shoudao quickly added: "Dad, I know you must have some opinions about Haiqing, but I believe you wouldn't do anything bad to Zhifish. Shoude and that Ma Chongxin are definitely being coerced, so they're just rambling nonsense in the videos, trying to smear you!"

Su Shoudao's words immediately struck a chord deep within Su Chengfeng's heart.

He had never thought that his eldest son would be so rational and objective at this moment, even revealing the truth that was hidden in his own heart!

The truth is: "I didn't think about killing my granddaughters! I just wanted to kill Haiqing alone!"

"But as Ma Chongxin and my own son identified my crimes on the video, they dumped all their fabricated charges against me, and I had no defense whatsoever. And now the whole country of over a billion people has seen it – I'm utterly speechless!"

Human emotions are that subtle.

Even if you have some bias towards someone, when you're misunderstood by everyone else but this one person understands you, your attitude towards them will definitely undergo a 180-degree change.

Because they're your only confidant.

Su Chengfeng felt exactly like that at this moment! JrNovels.com
