Chapter: 2923

Such trees, even ancient ones, would be meaningless here because their spiritual energy was severely damaged when they were transplanted. Once moved to the city, where the soil is shallow and polluted, it's a miracle if they can survive at all, let alone retain any spiritual energy.

This feeling is like being dropped in the middle of the Sahara Desert, with nothing but blinding sunlight overhead, endless dry sand beneath your feet, and air so dry that even the water vapor has been evaporated to the extreme. Trying to find water here would be like a madman's dream!

The phone rang, and he opened his eyes from his disappointment, only to see the screen and furrow his brow again.

"Ye Zhongquan?"

"It seems old sir is coming to stir up trouble."

He let out a light sigh and pressed the answer key.

"Dawn!"

Ye Zhongquan's voice came through.

"Is there something?"

"It's you, isn't it? You told grandfather that Su Shou Dao went missing in Jinling, and you're the one who did it!?"

"Hmm, yes I did. What's up?"

"He didn't expect Ye Zhong Quan to admit so straightforwardly.

This sudden candor left him momentarily flustered.

A moment later, he subconsciously clenched his fist and sighed: "Cian Er, you're in trouble!"

"Cian Er furrowed his brow: "I'm not in trouble where?"

"He sighed: "You're getting yourself into trouble by messing with Su Shou Dao! Think about it, he's the eldest son of the Su family, went missing at Bai Jin Han Palace. Can our Ye family just shrug off the responsibility?"

"How about it?" Cian Er asked, "Is Su Chengping looking for you?"

"Yes!" Ye Zhongquan's face was filled with worry as he said, "Su Chengping called me and yelled at me, saying he's going to take revenge against the Ye family! You know, we've always been a family that keeps quiet and doesn't take action. This time, we broke the rules, and Su family will definitely go crazy for revenge, and if it gets to the top, we'll be in trouble too!"

Cian Er smiled: "You called me just because of this?"

Ye Zhongquan heard the disdain in Cian Er's tone and spoke up in a straight-faced manner: "Chen er, I know you have a big temper and don't like to compromise. But when it comes to doing things, we need to consider the bigger picture! Right now, taking action against Su Shou Dao won't cause any real harm to Su family. He's completely been left idle by his father, just a good-for-nothing guy. What's the point of tying him up? It'll actually give Su family a reason to take revenge against us!"

Cian Er said indifferently: "I'm not doing this for the Ye family. I'm doing it because I want Su Shou Dao to pay for what he did in the past. He was the one who targeted my father, and now it's his turn to face the consequences! And I won't just tie him up. When the ancestral worship ceremony comes around, I'll take him to our family's tomb at Ye Ling Shan and make him kneel down and apologize!"

Ye Zhongquan was shocked by Cian Er's words and blurted out: "You... you're trying to force Su family into a fight with us! If that's the case, I'd rather not hold the ancestral worship ceremony this year than start a war with Su family! They've already gotten on the wrong side of the top officials. We just need to be patient and wait for the top to put pressure on them, and we'll reap the benefits. But if you do things like this, it's equivalent to helping Su family shift their attention away from us... and trouble will fall on our heads!"

Cian Er snickered: "Grandpa, don't be so scared. This thing isn't as complicated as you think. And don't worry, I've already sent Su Shou Dao to Syria, and nobody can find him. Plus, I won't let anyone know about his whereabouts, so it won't affect you either."

Ye Zhongquan said in resignation: "Chen er, how can things be so simple? Even if you handle it without a trace, we'll still have no way to explain ourselves!"

Cian Er smiled: "Grandpa, what was the first question you asked me?" JrNovels.com
