Chapter: 2729
At this moment, Ma Chengxing lightly patted Su Shoudao's arm with his hand, and he quickly got out of the car. Su Chengfeng hurried forward and bowed, saying: "Uncle Ma, you've gone through so much trouble just for us, please don't be sorry!"
Ma Chengxing smiled and said, "Chengfeng, my friend, I'm like an old uncle to your father. If there's anything I can do to help, how could I not come?"
Just as he was saying that, the door of the car also opened, and a young man in his late 20s got out and walked over to stand beside the elder, respectfully calling him "Great-Grandfather."
Ma Chengxing stretched out his hand to bring him closer, smiling and said, "Chengfeng, Dao, let me introduce you to my grandson, Mike."
"Mike?" Su Shoudao asked unintentionally, "Is that an English or Chinese name?"
The young man smiled and said, "Uncle Su, Mike is my Chinese name, but my English name is also Mike, with the same pronunciation as these two characters."
Ma Chengxing laughed and said, "Young people are all about being trendy, and Mike's father gave him this name on purpose to combine Western and Eastern elements."
Su Chengfeng hurriedly said, "This name is indeed very meaningful, and it just happens to have the same surname as me, one phrase, two arrows, truly wonderful!"
Ma Chengxing waved his hand. "Chengfeng, you don't need to go on about this unnecessarily. Mike's name is just a bit playful; there's no need to get so excited."
Su Chengfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "'Uncle Ma, I may not have your cultural level, but from my perspective, this name is indeed very cool!"
Ma Chengxing patted Su Chengfeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Alright, let's sit down and have a good chat about your family, Su, yeah!"
Su Chengfeng respectfully invited Ma Chengxing to take a seat on the sofa, then took a deep breath and sighed pitifully, saying: "Ah! Uncle Ma, this time you must definitely help me!"
Ma Chengxing nodded seriously and said: "Since I'm already here, of course I'll do my best. So please tell me everything that's happened."
Su Chengfeng responded with a sigh and lamented: "To be honest, it's all because of me, an old fool, who made some irrational decisions......"
As he spoke, Su Chengfeng roughly recounted the events of how his siblings, Su Zhenfei and Su Zhenyu, were kidnapped in Japan, followed by how he sold out to the Matsumoto family and had Du Haiqing assassinated.
When he finished, he looked worriedly at Ma Chengxing and asked: "Uncle Ma, will I be reaping what I've sown?"
Ma Chengxing waved his hand dismissively and said seriously: "Chengfeng, as my nephew, I won't bother you with all that mystical nonsense. Just remember, in this world, whether we look at it from a feng shui or scientific perspective, there's simply no such thing as retribution."
Su Chengfeng was astonished and asked: "Why? Don't your Daoist teachings talk about the principles of cause and effect, where one's actions have consequences?"
Ma Chengxing shook his head and said, "What you're talking about is Buddhist teachings. Besides, our Feng Shui principles are not part of Daoist teachings. We follow the principles of I Ching and strange numbers."
Su Chengfeng hurriedly asked, "But what you just said was that there's no cause and effect? Is this true?"
Ma Chengxing smiled and said, "To me, it is true in nature. But if you don't believe it, that's okay too. Let me explain our Feng Shui principles to you as a way of exploration."
Su Chengfeng quickly asked, "Please go on."
Ma Chengxing paused for a moment and said, "I ask you this: according to the principle of cause and effect, those who do evil must inevitably be punished, while those who do good will surely receive rewards, right?"
Su Chengfeng nodded: "According to their teachings, that's indeed the case."
Ma Chengxing counter-questioned, "Then I ask you this: why are some newborn babies stillborn, having just started life and not having done either evil or good? Why don't they even get a chance at healthy growth?" JrNovels.com
