Chapter 1122: The Mansion Shall Fall===GLOSSARY===

Looking at Du Haiqing's resolute, unwavering back, Su Guodao felt a deep, almost suffocating pain in his heart.

He had long known that Du Haiqing did not actually love him.

He had also long known that the person Du Haiqing had always loved in her heart was actually Ye Changying.

Moreover, Du Haiqing sometimes still underestimated Su Guodao's abilities.

Although he never interfered with Du Haiqing's privacy on the surface, behind the scenes he had long since figured out every single one of her actions.

Many years ago, after mobile phones gained Wi-Fi connectivity, Su Guodao had top-tier network hackers conduct strict monitoring of his home Wi-Fi network.

Du Haiqing's phone—when it connected to Wi-Fi, and which software and websites it visited afterward—he could monitor comprehensively through the tools provided by the hackers.

So he also knew that Du Haiqing, over these many years, almost every day would sneak onto that online photo album website when he was not around.

To find out what secret she had hidden in that online photo album, he even had his subordinates use an offshore shell company to directly acquire the operating company of that online photo album.

Acquiring this company naturally meant he mastered all of its user data.

Including what users uploaded and browsed here, he could see it all clearly in the database.

So he also long knew that Du Haiqing went to that online photo album every day to look at some of her old photos with Ye Changying, or Ye Changying's own pictures.

For Su Guodao, this had always been a great torment.

He could not accept that his deeply loved wife, beside him, always had another man in her heart.

Even though that man had already been dead for a long time!

Could it be that, despite all his efforts and sacrifices, he still meant less to her than a dead man?

Because of these, he had always harbored a deep, bone-deep hatred for Ye Changying.

Even though Ye Changying had been dead for many years, he still hated him to the extreme, and this hatred had not diminished in the slightest over all these years.

But Su Guodao had always used the five words "vested interest holder" to self-hypnotize himself.

He felt, even if Du Haiqing deeply loved Ye Changying, so what? She hadn't she married him? Hadn't she borne him two children?

So, in the end, he was Du Haiqing's man, and moreover her only man—this was already an absolute victory.

But now Du Haiqing had resolutely left him, and in an instant destroyed his "vested interest holder" mindset, leaving not even scraps.

Although his heart was now filled with raging hatred, upon thinking that his old father still had matters awaiting him, he could only temporarily calm his mindset, wipe his tears, splash cold water on his face, wrap himself in his pajamas, and hurriedly rush to his father's study.

Su Chengfeng's study was larger than the living room of an ordinary villa.

Put plainly, this was Su Chengfeng's council chamber.

Like an ancient emperor's study, Su Chengfeng not only read books and cultivated himself here, but also treated this place as the very core brain of the entire Su family.

He often discussed major Su family affairs with his descendants and core members here; many decisions affecting the Su family, even the entire national business world, originated from here.

At present, Su Chengfeng had already summoned all of the Su family's second-generation descendants.

Besides Su Guodao, there were Su Gude, Su Guer, Su Guiyi, Su Guiyi, Su Guizhi, and Su Guoxin.

Su Chengfeng had five sons and two daughters, namely Dao, De, Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, and Xin—these seven people.

Because he had been entangled with Du Haiqing for a long time, Su Guodao was the last to arrive.

As soon as he entered, he found that in the entire study, his father and six younger brothers and sisters all had panicked expressions.

This made his heart skip a beat.

In his impression, his father had always been calm and composed over the years, as unshaken as Mount Tai collapsing before him without changing color—how could he now be so flustered today?

Moreover, he noticed that the gazes of his several younger brothers and sisters toward him at this moment were all very strange.

Their eyes held nervousness, fear, sympathy, and even pity.

So he nervously asked: "Dad, what exactly happened?"

Su Chengfeng looked up at him, somewhat guiltily asking: "You didn't see the news push?"

Su Guodao lowered his head to glance at his pajamas, embarrassedly saying: "What push? I was just taking a bath, and after I finished, the butler said you were looking for me, so I hurried over—I didn't even bring my phone..."

Su Chengfeng sighed with a complex expression, saying: "Guodao, some things, you need to understand me more—I sit in this position, I must indeed consider the bigger picture, cannot be too preoccupied with children's affection!"

Su Guodao felt somewhat startled.

He did not quite understand why his grandfather suddenly said such things.

Moreover, his grandfather's tone sounded like he was admitting fault and seeking forgiveness.

One must know, his grandfather had always been extremely strict toward his descendants!

Earlier at the family meeting, Su Guoxin's son Su Zhiyuan, for speaking out of turn and making noise in front of his grandfather, making his grandfather unhappy, was actually slapped dozens of times by his own father until nearly fainting, and only then did his grandfather consider it satisfactory.

From this it can be seen, his grandfather absolutely could not admit fault to his descendants.

But today, why did he say such things?!

The Su family patriarch, Su Chengfeng, in this life had indeed never admitted fault to his descendants.

He had always been extremely domineering, quite possessing the bearing of an ancient emperor.

In the eyes of ancient emperors, the realm and the power in their own hands were the most important; children and grandchildren were never ranked foremost.

He held the same view.

The Su family's foundation, and his unshakable position as family head, were the most important things in his eyes.

Before these, what were descendants worth?

But this time, he never dreamed that the Japanese National Security Agency would actually uncover his collusion with high-ranking officials of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces!

Moreover, they even uncovered the true identity of Su Ruoli—she was Su Guodao's illegitimate daughter, his own biological granddaughter!

Now, the entire nation knows that he, Su Chengfeng, is a turtle-Wang Ba scoundrel who would sacrifice his biological granddaughter's life for profit at any moment!

Facing these children, he does not yet know how they will view him.

After all, any father or grandfather who does such a thing will surely make his children and grandchildren extremely disappointed, even cause them to keep their distance from him in respect.

So, Su Chengfeng clearly knows in his heart: "This matter has certainly already made me despised by the world and caused the Su family to suffer major losses in all aspects; if I do not properly handle the internal family impact, I, as family head, will very likely immediately lose all prestige! Even, the Su family might possibly collapse like a towering building!"

Right now, the Su family is at its most critical moment! Therefore, I must do my utmost to calm Su Guodao's mindset first; otherwise, if he discovers that I betrayed his biological daughter and cannot understand or tolerate me on any level, he might very well, in a fit of anger, take the lead in opposing me—then internal family strife would be too great!

"As long as I can keep him steady, everyone else will be steady too!"
