Chapter 1473

Su Zhiyu only then understood that Ye Chen's threat to her grandfather over the phone just now was actually to make her grandfather wary of her.

It must be said that this move by Ye Chen moved her immensely.

She had originally been worried that she wouldn't be able to hold onto such a large ocean shipping group, and worried that once the limelight passed, her grandfather would resort to his old tricks again and find a way to snatch this big cake back.

However, with Ye Chen's phone call just now, she believed that for a considerable time to come, she would no longer have to worry about any danger.

So, she stood up, bowed slightly to Ye Chen, and said respectfully, "Benefactor... oh no, Mr. Ye... thank you so much..."

Ye Chen waved his hand lightly and said indifferently, "I am helping myself by helping you. Besides, the ocean shipping group in your hands has high assets, while my side is almost equivalent to an empty shell. Although I will invest 10 billion US dollars as promised, by comparison, I am still taking advantage of you to some extent."

Su Zhiyu hurriedly said, "It's not like that... I find it very difficult to revitalize this ocean shipping group on my own; at most, I could only sell it off at a low price. If I cooperate with you, Mr. Ye, this asset can not only be revitalized, but it also has more room and possibilities for development, so we can consider this mutually beneficial."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "You are right; doing business in partnership requires mutual benefit."

After saying this, he added, "Since you used the pretext of finding Ito Takehiko today, the new company we establish can be publicly claimed as a cooperation between you and the Ito family. Your grandfather has always wanted to connect with the Ito family, so why not let him think you have already made that connection? In this way, it will also make him recognize your ability even more."

Su Zhiyu nodded and said gratefully, "Zhiyu understands, I will listen to all your arrangements!"

Ye Chen checked the time and said with a smile, "I estimate it won't be long before your grandfather calls you, so you should think through your talking points for later."

Meanwhile.

The Su family villa in Su Hang.

Su Chengfeng was already pale with fright at this moment.

Originally, he had planned for Xuan Fengnian and Mai Chengxing to find that mysterious person and then take him out when he was off guard.

But he never dreamed that not only were these two people finished now, but they had also sold him out, the mastermind behind the scenes.

As a result, the other party called to change the rules of the game; how could he not be afraid?

Especially since the other party also accurately stated that he was in Su Hang.

It is very close from Jin Ling to Su Hang; if things went wrong, his throat could be slit by the other party while he was sleeping at night.

Su Anshun, who was on the side, asked with great concern, "Master, what are your plans for the next steps?"

Su Chengfeng said with unconcealable nervousness, "You heard it just now; Xuan Fengnian and Mai Chengxing both fell into that kid's hands. This guy really has no sense of martial ethics at all, not even sparing a hundred-year-old man, let alone me..."

As he spoke, Su Chengfeng sighed and said somewhat distractedly, "And this guy now knows I am in Su Hang; this is the most dangerous part..."

Su Anshun hurriedly said, "Master, in my humble opinion, our top priority right now is to leave Su Hang immediately! Su Hang is just too close to Jin Ling... in case he finds his way here, it's only a three or four-hour drive..."

Su Chengfeng nodded, sighed, and muttered, "Sigh! Leaving Su Hang is simple, but where should I go after leaving?"

Su Anshun hurriedly said, "Master, why don't we go back to Jingcheng!"

Su Chengfeng said somewhat depressed, "Returning to Jingcheng may not necessarily be truly safe. After all, his strength is indeed somewhat unfathomable. He was able to kidnap Shoude silently under the nose of Old He before; heaven knows if he will resort to his old tricks and kidnap me too?"

Having said this, Su Chengfeng added, "It may not be safe anywhere right now. Even if I flee to the South China Sea, it's only a three-hour flight for him to find me."

At this moment, Old He, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up, "Master, why don't you go to the Maldives to avoid the limelight first, and relax for a few days by the way! Su Hang hasn't really warmed up these days, the weather in the Maldives is pleasant, and it's far away and an isolated island, so it will be easier for us to plan security work!"

As he spoke, Old He added, "In an island nation like the Maldives, apart from the capital island and a few large islands, the local government has sold or leased everything else that could be sold or leased. For such leased islands, the local government wouldn't send a single soldier, let alone their own army, to them. Basically, we can do whatever we want, and there is more room for operation."

"If you are willing to go there, I can ask my junior brother to help invite some mercenaries from the Middle East and the West. The American Blackwater company has a large number of mercenaries who have undergone rigorous training. At that time, we can directly hire hundreds of fully armed soldiers from Blackwater to guard the island, ensuring that not even a fly can fly in, and your safety issues can be greatly guaranteed."

Although the Su family has not been able to expand their business to the whole world, their own properties are spread all over the globe.

Basically, in all developed countries, there are Su family properties, so the Su family members have a home wherever they go.

As for vacation resorts like the Maldives, Phuket, Bali, and Tahiti, there is even less need to mention them.

The Su family had long ago bought several islands in the Maldives. Several of these islands were developed into high-end luxury island hotels, and there was one island that, although already developed, had not been put into commercial use but was reserved for the Su family's own vacation needs.

At this time, the weather in Su Hang, which had not yet passed the first lunar month, was still somewhat cold and humid. However, the Maldives, located near the equator, was very comfortable even now, and it was indeed very suitable for short-to-medium-term vacations.

Moreover, as Old He said, in an island nation like the Maldives, the government simply has no energy to manage so many scattered islands. Basically, whoever they sell them to, they let them do whatever they want. Even if there are places that local laws do not allow, as long as some money is spent, they can be accommodated, and there is huge room for operation.

Therefore, once you go to the Maldives, you can definitely build a very powerful defense system in a short period of time. It is no exaggeration to say that once you hire high-end mercenaries from Blackwater in the way Old He said, the island's defense capability will be so strong that even the local army might not be able to break in.

However, although Old He considered security very thoroughly, he ignored Su Chengfeng's personality and his situation in the family.

Unless the consequence of not leaving is certain death, he would absolutely not be willing to leave.

Going abroad to avoid the limelight is Su Chengfeng's very last resort, and he would only consider it when absolutely necessary.

Because he knows very well that once he leaves China, the control of the Su family will no longer be in his hands, and the entire Su family might even fall apart.

Moreover, once he leaves, he might never be able to come back.

Even if that mysterious person stops hunting him down, once his children profit from it, they will absolutely not want him to come back.

At that time, he would be attacked from both sides!

Thinking of this, Su Chengfeng gritted his teeth and said to Su Anshun and Old He, "Unless absolutely necessary, I must never leave China!"

Su Anshun asked nervously, "Master, that guy is so strong, how should we deal with him next?"

Su Chengfeng pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Now, only Zhiyu can save me!"
