Chapter: 2895

About this, He Hong Sheng, He Ying Xiu's father, looked a bit worried and opened his mouth: "Ying Xiu, your big brother talked to me about something."

He Ying Xiu hurriedly asked: "Dad, what did your big brother talk to you about?"

He Hong Sheng sighed and opened his mouth: "In order to find Ruo Li, our He family has sent out half of our manpower and expenses for over two billion yuan so far. However, we still have no news, which has delayed these children's training, not to mention that we've lost our income source and will continue to accumulate financial losses if we keep searching."

He Hong Sheng continued with a helpless tone: "At home, just preparing medicine for the kids' training requires three to five hundred million yuan per month. Not to mention so many people, mouths to feed, eat, drink, sleep... The cost is going up and down without end. Although I also want to find Ruo Li, but if we keep searching like this, as the head of a family, I won't be able to explain it to others."

He Ying Xiu slightly lowered her head.

She knew in her heart that the He family couldn't keep searching for Ruo Li at any cost. After all, the He family wasn't a wealthy one, and their daily expenses were extremely high. In the past, they had invested a large amount of money in searching for Ruo Li, which had made her feel very guilty.

Although she felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to find her as soon as possible, she couldn't bear the thought of dragging the He family down with her. Therefore, she told He Hong Sheng, "Dad, I understand what you're saying. If not this way, I'll go look for myself."

He Hong Sheng sighed: "You going out to search would only be seeking mental comfort. You know that finding someone is like searching for a needle in the sea. We previously hired so many people and boats, but at a cost of hundreds of millions per day. However, we still haven't found any clues. What could you do as an individual?"

He Ying Xiu fell silent abruptly.

He Hong Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly: "It's really not possible. You go find Su Shou Dao instead. If Ruo Li is being sold out by them, Su Family, then Su Shou Dao should take responsibility, even if he didn't directly participate."

He Ying Xiu expressed complicated emotions and said: "Dad, I don't want to see Su Shou Dao again......"

He Hong Sheng was astonished: "Are you saying that this matter with Ruo Li is just settled between us and the Su Family?"

He Ying Xiu forced a bitter smile and said: "Su Shou Dao is just a puppet controlled by Su Family's patriarch, who can come and go at their beck and call. Seeking his help won't resolve any problems. Moreover, Su Family's patriarch has a cold and ruthless demeanor."

He Hong Sheng sighed: "The shamelessness of the Su Family really exceeds my understanding."

"Anyway, he added: 'We're now at odds with the Su Family and have lost our greatest economic source. It's only by finding a new ally as soon as possible that we can move forward. Although the Wu Dao Family may seem impressive when mentioned, they lack the ability to make money and can only rely on wealthy clans willing to spend. Do you have any thoughts on this?'"

"He Ying Xiu nodded her head and said: 'Father, I'm not hiding anything from you. Right now, every day is consumed by thinking about how to leave, and I don't have the mental energy to focus on anything else. These days, I've been running around outside, even without the strength to think about what I should eat each time. Each time, I just feel hungry until my body aches, then I find a nearby hotel and fill my stomach as quickly as possible...'"

"He Ying Xiu apologized and bowed her head, saying: 'Father, during this period, I won't be able to help you with your concerns. Please bear with me...'"

"He Hong Sheng nodded his head and comforted her, saying: 'You don't need to feel too guilty about this. I completely understand.'"

"As he said that, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and said: 'It's just that at home, you're the only one who looks at things deeply. Your older brother and younger brother are only good at practicing martial arts, with simple minds, and no education to speak of. When it comes to looking at problems, they indeed lack depth...'"

"He Ying Xiu asked: 'Father, do you have any rough plans in mind now?'"

"His Hong Sheng said: 'I've thought it over roughly, and I still think that finding a new ally within the Yanjing range is best. There are many clans in Yanjing aside from the Su Family, such as the Ye Family and the Gu Family. We can also cooperate with the Du Family, since enemies of our enemy are our friends. I believe the Du Family must have similar plans too. As for Du Hai Qing, his situation is unclear, so they wouldn't dare to take this opportunity for nothing.'"

"He Ying Xiu nodded her head and forced herself to think for a moment before speaking: 'Father, those three families all have great strength, and if we can cooperate, that's certainly good. However, I still don't recommend cooperating with the Du Family.'"

"Why?" His Hong Sheng asked hastily.

"The Du Family's situation is special," He Ying Xiu said. "It's not just that they're good at business, and some people are high-ranking officials. Even if they're extremely dissatisfied with the Su Family, they wouldn't dare to cooperate with us martial arts families, fearing it would affect their reputation and be difficult to explain to outsiders."

Hong Sheng suddenly understood, exclaiming, "That's why! I've always felt that the Su Family is in a precarious situation. With their overseas transportation business so big and strong, and then the permit is suddenly revoked. It looks like it's probably the Du Family's doing." JrNovels.com
