Chapter 1266: Not Showing Off Bravery

At this moment, Su Shoudao was on the phone with his son Su Zhifei.

Su Zhifei had driven from Yan Jing to Jin Ling late at night, but as soon as he arrived in Jin Ling, he immediately fell into a helpless predicament.

He came to Jin Ling to find the whereabouts of his mother and sister, but the Jin Ling police had sent thousands of people to search the whole city for a whole day without any results. Su Zhifei, relying solely on his own strength, didn't know where to start.

He originally planned to return to the Du family's old house in Jin Ling first and ask the old butler for help, so that he would at least have a place to stay.

However, thinking that he had just offended his grandfather, and his grandfather was having people search for his whereabouts everywhere, he became worried again.

Therefore, he called Su Shoudao, who was far away in Australia, to seek help, and said to him, "Dad, Grandpa knows that Grandpa has an old house in Jin Ling. It's possible that he has already sent people to squat there waiting for me to go over. If I go to the old butler for help, I might be caught by the Su family before I even enter the door..."

Su Shoudao said with a solemn tone, "There is indeed this risk! I think you should be more cautious and don't contact the old butler for now."

Su Zhifei hurriedly asked, "Dad, then what should I do now?"

As he spoke, his emotions couldn't help but become a bit agitated, and he choked up, "Dad... I don't know what to do at all now... Mom and Zhiyu's whereabouts are unknown. I want to find them, but I don't have the ability to find them at all. I don't even have a helper by my side... I... I... I feel like I'm a complete waste..."

Su Shoudao sighed and comforted, "Zhifei, don't blame yourself too much. This kind of thing has already far exceeded the scope you can control. To say something unpleasant, even your grandfather can no longer grasp the direction of the whole thing, let alone you?"

Su Zhifei cried and said, "I don't want to care about his business! I just want to find Mom and Zhiyu as soon as possible, and they must be safe and sound. Otherwise, I will never forgive that old thing in my life!"

As he spoke, Su Zhifei hurriedly said, "Dad! Come back and help me quickly, Dad! You are not here, my ability alone is too limited..."

Su Shoudao hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhifei, you find a place to stay in Jin Ling first, but don't expose your whereabouts to the outside world. I will wait for your grandfather's movements to see what step he plans to take next..."

In fact, for Su Shoudao, although he had already seen the news reports and the video uploaded by Ye Chen, and hated Su Chengfeng to the bone, he still dared not turn against Su Chengfeng directly.

The reason for not daring to turn against him was also very simple: it was entirely because his ability was insufficient.

This is like the Guangxu Emperor facing the Empress Dowager Cixi. The entire country and the power of the military and government were all in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi. Although the Guangxu Emperor was the emperor, he was simply no match for her.

What's more, Su Shoudao didn't even have the position of the head of the Su family now. Su Chengfeng was the true decision-maker of the Su family.

Moreover, modern society is very different from feudal society.

In feudal society, one could usurp the throne, but in modern society, everything is based on the rule of law. The assets of the entire Su Group are almost all under the name of the old master. Even if other shareholders hold shares in the Su Group, the voting rights corresponding to the shares are all handed over to the old master.

It is simply impossible to seize the old master's power. Even if the old master were killed, the shares under his name would all be hung in major trust funds. Other members of the Su family could only take some living expenses from the trust funds regularly and could not get control of the Su family.

Therefore, even if Su Shoudao knew that the old master wanted to kill his wife and incidentally kill his other daughter, he didn't have the courage to go back and fight the old master.

Because as long as he dared to leave Australia without the old master's permission, he would likely be placed under house arrest directly.

Precisely because of this, although he was very worried about Su Zhiyu's safety, he still dared not leave Australia for half a step until the old master spoke.

He didn't even dare to call to question the old master, because once he angered the old master, his outcome would only become worse than it already was.

Su Zhifei was not old and had not really experienced anything. The biggest and most serious thing he had experienced in his life was when he was kidnapped in Japan.

In fact, he had already panicked during that kidnapping.

The whole process was like a quail scared to death, far less calm than his sister Su Zhiyu. So now all the pressure was concentrated on his own shoulders, pressing him so hard he couldn't breathe.

He longed for his father to come back and be his backbone, but unfortunately, he dared to defy the old master, but his father didn't dare.

Hearing his father say he wanted to wait a little longer, Su Zhifei couldn't control his emotions and roared loudly, "Wait a little longer? What exactly are you waiting for? Are you waiting to come back for the funeral after Mom and Zhiyu's death news?!"

Su Shoudao felt that every word his son said was like a loud slap, fiercely hitting his cheeks, making him feel that his heart was bleeding.

However, he had no way out at this time.

He had experienced far more things than Su Zhifei.

He knew what "not showing off bravery" meant, and he knew even better what "planning before acting" meant.

He felt that those who knew the other party had a gun and still rushed up with bare hands were all brave but reckless fools.

Such people mostly became cannon fodder for others. How could they have the opportunity to become famous generals who could hold their swords and gallop across the battlefield?

In his view, his son angering the old master was already stupid. If he defied the old master's wishes at this time and ran back to the country during this sensitive period, he would definitely touch the old master's reverse scale. Once the old master thought he had a rebellious heart, he would never have the chance to rise again in his life.

Therefore, he could only patiently explain, "Zhifei, you asked me to go back and help you, but do you know that with your grandfather's character, if I go back now, I will lose my freedom before I even see you? It's even possible that you will never have the chance to see me again in your life."

As he spoke, he hesitated for a few seconds and said earnestly, "Zhifei, listen to Dad once. It's too late today. You find a place to stay in Jin Ling first. Tomorrow, under the premise of ensuring your own safety, contact your grandfather and let your grandfather and your uncle send people to help you find the whereabouts of your mother and sister. Give me one day. If your grandfather doesn't contact me within this day, then I will beg him. No matter what, I will let him approve my return to the country."

Su Zhifei wanted to curse in his heart.

However, after calming down, he also understood that what his father said was not unreasonable.

On the contrary, his father had thought it through carefully, while he himself was indeed a bit too impulsive.

Thinking of this, he whispered, "Dad, I know... You don't have to worry about me for now. I'll call Grandpa in a while. If there are any changes, I'll communicate with you again."

Su Shoudao gave a hum and instructed, "Don't call your grandfather tonight. I guess he should already be planning how to find your mother and sister. Don't disturb him. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Just as he was speaking, his mobile phone suddenly popped up a prompt for another call. He exclaimed, "Your grandfather is calling me!"
