I called Jinxiutian after I got back to my office alone. Even if something was going to happen, I couldn't afford to delay any longer.

I explained the situation and my plans to the three elders over the phone, and they understood what I was going to do.

They didn't dare say much and could only hurry up and get on with it. As for where to find Crow and the other two, that was up to the three of them to figure out.

After making the arrangements, I went to find my dad. Although it's my dad who's unreliable and always does ridiculous things, I really can't blame him this time.

Someone set a trap for him, so no matter how careful he is, it's useless. After all, it's not the thief you should be afraid of, but the one who has his eye on you. I still need to comfort my dad so he doesn't get sick from the fright.

Even someone with a thick skin would be furious to be scammed out of so much money.

I asked where the old man with the change had been placed, and then I rushed over. When I got to the private room, I saw the old man there sighing and complaining.

Luckily, my dad doesn't drink alcohol, otherwise he'd probably be unconscious by now. I sat down next to him and poured him a cup of tea.

He said, "Dad, don't take it to heart. This was a setup by someone deliberately targeting our family. No matter how careful you are, it won't help."

If it doesn't work this time, there will be next time. I've already sent someone to handle it. Next time, I won't associate with them unless they're acquaintances.

"Tell me if you lose even a little money, don't keep it to yourself. No matter what, your son is here for you."

Although my words made my dad feel a bit better, he was still very unhappy. After all, in my dad's heart...

If a son doesn't get rich because of his father, but instead the father has problems and the son has to fix them, then he's losing face.

Seeing my dad's frustrated expression, I knew exactly what he was thinking.

But there's nothing we can do. "A person should know their own limitations." My dad is a typical example of someone who is ambitious but lacks talent, has high aspirations but low abilities, and is unrealistic. He doesn't have much skill, but he has a big heart.

He always wants others to recognize his abilities, but he doesn't even know what his abilities are. He's always thinking about making a lot of money, but he ends up being completely fooled.

Fortunately, I still have some influence, and I can handle whatever happens. Otherwise, my family would have been ruined long ago.

The more I cleaned up his messes, the bigger the trouble he caused. In other families, it's the son who ruins the father, but in our family, it's the other way around; it's always the father who ruins the son.

I was utterly helpless, but I couldn't say anything too harsh to him, otherwise he'd cause even bigger trouble next time. I managed to calm him down again with kind words.

Now he's become the biggest sucker in his circle, and everyone wants to partner with him to do something so they can swindle him out of money.

Many of my subordinates are aware of my father's problem. Although people like Ermin have discussed this issue with him,

But the more I told him he was incompetent, the more counterproductive it became, and the bigger the trouble he would cause next time. Many of these problems were solved behind my back by Ermin and Luotuo.

I was utterly helpless, but there was nothing I could do. My father was the youngest in the family, spoiled by his grandparents and pampered by his older siblings.

The reason he didn't join a gang was because he was a coward. He only dared to brag and never dared to do anything. When he was young, he was even worse than my mother at fighting in the compound.

Ermin also heard about what happened to my father, so he came to see how I was doing. No matter who it is, having a father like me is a disaster.

My biggest worry right now is that I'm making more and more enemies. With my dad like this, nobody even needs to scheme against him.

He might accidentally kill himself one day, and since I'm always cleaning up his messes, he's even less likely to learn his lesson.

Sigh, what a worry!
