Chapter 1263

After hearing the news of Su Shoude's disappearance, Ye Zhongquan immediately summoned his several sons and Tang Tang Sihai to rush over for a meeting overnight.

In this meeting, Ye Zhongquan and his sons were all visibly excited.

The Su family has indeed suffered heavy losses this time.

In the previous round, they sacrificed the eldest son and preserved the reputation of the Old Master Su, but in the blink of an eye, the second son also fell into it; this will definitely throw the entire Su family's morale into chaos.

Moreover, a shortage of manpower is the most severe problem for the Su family next.

But just at this moment, Tang Tang Sihai suddenly received a message, looked down at his phone, and immediately said excitedly: "Master, it seems someone has exposed the Su family on a short-video platform! Netizens are discussing it very intensely right now!"

"Oh?!" Ye Zhongquan hurriedly asked: "What is the content of the exposure? Let me see it quickly!"

Tang Tang Sihai immediately opened the short-video platform, and the video uploaded by Ye Chen was ranked first in the algorithm recommendations.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and after watching for just a few dozen seconds, everyone was excited beyond measure.

After finishing the video, Ye Zhongquan said with a trembling voice in his excitement: "This... this... this is truly Heaven helping me! Heaven is helping me! That old immortal Su Chengfeng, won't he be ruthlessly pressed to the ground and beaten this time?! The Su family is finished this time! Hahaha!"

Ye Chen's eldest uncle, Ye Ye Changkong, also couldn't help but exclaim: "Once this video is released, the Su family basically has no room for maneuver. Not only will the people of the whole country condemn them, but the police will also condemn them, and the Du family will definitely not let them off!"

"Yes!" Ye Changyun said with a smile: "In my opinion, it won't be long before the Su family's strength is weakened one after another from multiple aspects. Perhaps we don't even need to do anything, and in a few days, we will become the number one family in the country again!"

Ye Zhongquan nodded and said: "This matter is extraordinary. That old thing Su Chengfeng actually dared to make a joke of the lives and safety of hundreds of people this time; the people above cannot possibly forgive him easily! He has truly brought fire upon himself this time!"

The eldest, Ye Ye Changkong, couldn't help but ask: "Dad, how do you think the authorities will punish the Su family?"

Ye Zhongquan said seriously: "With such a major incident, and one that has triggered such great public anger, the Su family might have to have someone bear criminal responsibility, otherwise it won't be easy to give the general public an explanation."

Ye Ye Changkong exclaimed: "Bear criminal responsibility?! Could it be that they will let that old thing Su Chengfeng go to jail?"

Ye Zhongquan shook his head and said: "Su Chengfeng is already over seventy, almost eighty years old; it is basically unlikely for him to go to jail. Even if he is sentenced, it should be a suspended sentence."

Ye Ye Changkong asked again: "Dad, then do you think Su Chengfeng will be arrested and sentenced this time?"

Ye Zhongquan smiled: "That depends on whether Su Chengfeng can find a scapegoat this time."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but mockingly say: "However, I think that if Su Chengfeng still wants to find someone to take the blame this time, the entire citizenry will not agree. After all, he already has a precedent of shifting the blame to Su Shoudao. In this situation, even if he pushes another son out to take the fall, the public will not buy it."

Ye Ye Changkong said with a smile: "If that's the case, then Su Chengfeng is doomed this time."

Ye Zhongquan nodded and said: "It is definitely impossible for him to shift the blame to me this time. However, you also know that he didn't kill the people himself, and that Liu Zhan is already dead. This matter is now a case of dead men tell no tales. If Su Chengfeng quibbles at that time, insisting that he only wanted Liu Zhan to help teach Du Haiqing a lesson and did not order Liu Zhan to kill, then it will be impossible to directly convict him of intentional homicide."

As he spoke, Ye Zhongquan added: "The Su family still has strong strength after all. Su Chengfeng definitely has ways to try his best to help himself escape guilt and reduce the severity of the punishment. Plus, he is indeed very old; the court cannot really sentence such a person to a heavy penalty. So I estimate that he will likely end up with a moderate charge, then be sentenced to a few years in prison. Since he is indeed very old, he can then apply for a suspended sentence, and basically, he will have weathered the storm."

Ye Ye Changkong couldn't help but sigh: "Sigh! If only that Liu Zhan hadn't died. If he had been captured alive, and he were made to tell the truth in court, then Su Chengfeng wouldn't be able to escape even in death."

Ye Zhongquan smiled slightly: "Ye Changkong, you are still too naive in front of Su Chengfeng."

Ye Ye Changkong asked in confusion: "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Zhongquan said indifferently: "If Liu Zhan really hadn't died, Su Chengfeng might have already fled the country overnight!"

"How could a person like him let himself stay in the country and become a prisoner?"

"You must know that he doesn't have more than a dozen years to live anyway. If he were to be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, he would only be able to spend the rest of his life in prison!"

"Since that's the case, why not just escape?"

"As long as he escapes, with his level of assets, he can live extremely comfortably anywhere in the world!"

"At worst, he could just give up the position of Su family head, then retire early and enjoy a dozen years of his twilight years."

"After he dies, he can have his family transport his remains back to the country and bury them in the Su family's ancestral grave; that can also be considered returning to one's roots. In that case, he wouldn't have to spend a single day in jail."

Ye Ye Changkong suddenly realized when he heard this.

Thus, he said somewhat awkwardly: "Dad, you are the one who considers things more comprehensively..."

Ye Zhongquan sighed softly and thought to himself: "I have to say, among my sons, only Brother Changying truly had great wisdom; the remaining three are truly unremarkable."

Just as he was sighing deep in his heart, his phone suddenly rang.

With Ye Zhongquan's status, besides his own family, there are probably no more than 10 people who know his phone number and can call him directly.

So, the moment the phone rang, he was still somewhat surprised.

Looking down, Ye Zhongquan immediately laughed out loud.

"Haha! It's actually Su Chengfeng calling. This old thing, calling me so late, I wonder what he's up to!"

The others were also immediately curious.

You must know that the Su family and the Ye family usually have almost no contact, especially the heads of the two families, who both view each other as a thorn in their side.

Previous negotiations on dividing territory were not conducted by the two of them personally, but were handed over to their respective next generations.

Now, Su Chengfeng suddenly called Ye Zhongquan, and everyone was very curious about what Su Chengfeng actually wanted to do.

Ye Zhongquan answered the phone and conveniently turned on the speakerphone. Su Chengfeng's voice immediately came from the other end: "Oh, Brother Ye! It's been a long time. I wonder what Brother Ye has been busy with lately?"

Ye Zhongquan gave a hum and laughed: "Oh, Su Chengfeng, let's not play that polite and formal game at this time. Just say what you have to say."

Su Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then said: "Fine! Since Brother Ye is so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush with you. I called because I hope Brother Ye can do me a favor!"

Ye Zhongquan smiled: "Ask me for help? What kind of help?"

Su Chengfeng sighed and said seriously: "Brother Ye, I know that in the past, I have indeed offended you many times, but this time I have truly encountered a bit of trouble, so I hope you can let bygones be bygones and help me completely delete that video about our Su family on your short-video platform."

Ye Zhongquan feigned surprise and said: "Oh, so you want me to delete that video?"

"Yes!" Su Chengfeng said hurriedly: "I wonder if Brother Ye can help? If you can, Brother Ye, just name your price!"

Ye Zhongquan smiled and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, Su Chengfeng, let me tell you the truth, you are really dreaming!"
