Chapter 926: Su Shoudao's Nightmare

When the elevator door opened, Su Shoudao was the first to come out.

And Ye Chen, seeing the elevator coming, was planning to signal Ito Nanako beside him to go in first. At this time, Su Shoudao had already stepped out.

The moment he walked out of the elevator door, Su Shoudao met Ye Chen's eyes directly.

At this moment, Su Shoudao's brows subconsciously wrinkled slightly, and a familiar yet strange aura made his heart feel a burst of tension for no reason.

And Ye Chen, although he didn't know the man in front of him, seeing the other party's eyes full of alertness and surprise, couldn't help but look at the other party more.

The man opposite was in his early fifties, with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure. He was dressed very luxuriously, and there was a bit of ferocity between his brows. At a glance, he was a ruthless person.

A face-to-face meeting was just a flash of lightning.

Ye Chen had Ito Nanako beside him, so he didn't pay too much attention to this man. After brushing past, he entered the elevator with Nanako.

When the elevator door closed, Su Shoudao suddenly stopped and looked back at the elevator direction, a bit lost in thought.

Zhao Yiming beside him asked, "Old Master, what's wrong with you?"

Su Shoudao smacked his lips, "Strange... the kid who just entered the elevator gave me a familiar feeling..."

Zhao Yiming asked curiously, "Do you have acquaintances in Japan?"

Su Shoudao said, "There are quite a few acquaintances, but there really aren't any this young. That kid just now was only twenty-six or twenty-seven, right? About the same age as Zhifei, or a year or two older than Zhifei."

Zhao Yiming nodded, "It's about the same age as the eldest young master... Do you know him?"

"I don't know him."

Su Shoudao bit his lip and said with a dark face, "However, he looks quite similar to an old friend of mine!"

"Old friend?" Zhao Yiming asked curiously, "Old Master, who is this old friend of yours?"

Su Shoudao asked with a very cold expression, "Have you heard others talk about Ye Changying?"

Zhao Yiming was not very old.

He was not even forty years old this year.

When Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying, passed away, he was still studying abroad and didn't know what happened in Yanjing at that time.

So, he couldn't help but ask, "Old Master, is the Ye Changying you mentioned a member of the Ye family?"

"That's right."

Su Shoudao couldn't help but think of Ye Changying's heroic posture back then.

The Ye Changying of that year was truly a famous super noble son in the capital.

Handsome, suave, and more importantly, extremely capable, he was definitely the top one in the entire Yanjing.

Back then, in front of Ye Changying, Su Shoudao could be said to have been completely eclipsed.

The famous ladies and daughters of Yanjing were all trying to marry Ye Changying, and each of them wished they could die for Ye Changying.

Back then, Su Shoudao poured all his efforts into pursuing Du Haiqing, the mother of Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu, crazily, but Du Haiqing didn't care at all, only wanting to marry Ye Changying.

Even if Ye Changying already had a fiancée, Du Haiqing still had the determination to die for Ye Changying at any time.

Even if Su Shoudao spent a lot of effort to create a grand proposal scene that shocked Yanjing for her, Du Haiqing still didn't agree.

In front of countless people, Du Haiqing only said two sentences to Su Shoudao.

The first sentence was: I'm sorry, I can't marry you.

The second sentence was: Because Changying hasn't married yet!

Because Ye Changying had a fiancée but hadn't married yet, Du Haiqing still felt there was a glimmer of hope and still didn't want to give up.

Proposing to a woman, but that woman said in public that she was still waiting for someone else. Su Shoudao still remembers this kind of great humiliation clearly.

It was also from that time that he hated Ye Changying to the bone.

Later, Ye Changying got married in Yanjing.

That night, Du Haiqing cried all her tears and closed her door for a month without going out.

Su Shoudao brought flowers to the Du family every day to ask for a meeting, and persisted for thirty-nine days, using thirty-nine bouquets of roses, before finally knocking open Du Haiqing's heart.

Du Haiqing, who had lost nearly twenty pounds, walked out of the room and the house, and said a sentence to Su Shoudao who was holding flowers at the door.

She asked Su Shoudao if she might never

She asked Su Shoudao if he would still be willing to marry her if she might never be able to forget Ye Changying for the rest of her life.

Su Shoudao gritted his teeth and agreed.

Afterwards, Du Haiqing and Su Shoudao became engaged in a flash, and one month later, they were married in a flash.

When they were first married, Su Shoudao slept every night in anxiety and fear.

He was terrified that his wife, lying on the pillow beside him, would suddenly call out Ye Changying's name in her dreams.

The worry soon became reality.

Not many days after the wedding, Su Shoudao would hear Du Haiqing mumbling Ye Changying's name unclearly in her sleep every day between being half-awake and half-asleep.

During that time, Su Shoudao almost had a breakdown.

Later, their eldest son, Su Zhifei, was born.

Only then did Du Haiqing finally shift her focus from Ye Changying to her son.

From that moment on, Su Shoudao was finally able to sleep soundly.

The sound of his son’s loud crying in the middle of the night even became the most wonderful lullaby to him.

He could fall asleep peacefully amidst his son’s earth-shattering cries, but he could not bear to hear his wife murmur Ye Changying’s name in a very low voice in her sleep, because the three words "Ye Changying" were his nightmare!

Thinking of all the past humiliations, Su Shoudao felt exceptionally angry in his heart.

Even though more than twenty years had passed, and even though Ye Changying had long since passed away, he still could not swallow this bitterness.

Seeing his cold expression, clenched fists, and slightly trembling jaw, Zhao Yiming was incomparably shocked.

He had served by Su Shoudao’s side for many years and knew that when Su Shoudao looked like this, it usually meant he was angry to the extreme.

When he heard that it was Matsumoto Ryoto who was the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu, his reaction was exactly the same as it was now.

Zhao Yiming could not help but secretly wonder in his heart: "What on earth did this Ye Changying do to make the Master so angry?"

Thinking of this, he could not help but ask: "Master, was that man just now very similar to that Ye Changying?"

"He was." Su Shoudao nodded and said: "But his temperament was a bit more low-key, and it might also be because he was dressed a bit casually. The Ye Changying of those years could be said to be full of style, walking with the wind—he was truly extraordinary!"

Zhao Yiming asked again: "That young man just now, could he be a descendant of Ye Changying?"

"Not very likely." Su Shoudao said coldly: "Ye Changying’s descendants went missing long ago, and their fate is unknown. Even the Ye family themselves cannot find them; I reckon they died outside long ago."

As he spoke, Su Shoudao smiled grimly and mocked: "Back then, Ye Changying made enemies everywhere, offending the Rothschild family who dominated Europe and America, and he was also targeted in various ways domestically because his brilliance was too sharp. There were simply too many people who wanted to kill him."

Speaking of this, Su Shoudao lit a cigarette and said indifferently: "Although that kid just now looked quite like him, I think there is a high probability that he is Japanese, and it might just be a simple coincidence that he looks a bit like him."

Zhao Yiming nodded lightly and asked him: "Master, where are we going next? Back to the hotel or?"

"Not going back to the hotel." Su Shoudao said coldly: "If those people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can't catch Ruoli and the others, they will definitely find ways to make things difficult for me and disgust me. It’s better for me to leave Tokyo early!"

Having said that, Su Shoudao instructed him: "Leave the hotel room as it is; don't worry about it. We will drive north directly to Qingsen County at the northernmost tip of Japan's Honshu, and go soak in the hot springs for two days to relax before leaving."
