Along the way, we followed the fourth master of the Su family at a slightly different distance.
The Su family's influence is too deep; if we stay too close, there's a very high chance they'll be discovered.
From the moment I stepped inside, I sensed that there were quite a few people around me.
Oh...
This guard is comparable to that in the South China Sea.
No one would believe there's nothing shameful about it! Otherwise, why go through all this trouble? To keep flies away or mosquitoes?
Yingying is 100% certain that her son's disappearance is absolutely related to the Su family!
Therefore, it is even more impossible to overlook any clue.
The Su family's secret room was actually a small pavilion built on the lake in the backyard, but to get into the pavilion, one had to row a boat.
Ye Wanying gently paddled into the lake from the side bank after Su Yanli stood on the pavilion and swam across from the bottom of the lake.
In the north, in the dead of winter, the outdoor temperature is minus six or seven degrees Celsius. The lake water is icy cold, almost freezing solid. People underwater are so cold that they can hardly stand it and almost can't hold their breath.
Fortunately, after swimming around underwater, we arrived at the small pavilion in the center of the lake.
Going up there is, of course, impossible.
They can only remain underwater in the lake.
Inside the pavilion were the Su family patriarch, Su Yanli, and the third son of the Su family—the three of them, father and sons.
"Dad, it's not easy to deal with the Gu family now. The situation is already like this, and it's impossible to back down now. How about we find a reason to release them?"
The old man was drinking tea. After taking two sips, the teacup fell to the ground with a loud crash, shattering into pieces.
"What, now you realize it's not going to work? What did you say when I told you not to act impulsively?"
Su Han was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Old Master Su. After a while, he slowly replied:
“Dad, in that situation, even if I didn’t take action, people from other factions would have. Gu Ziling is the best candidate to be the next heir of the Gu family. There are many people watching him, and even more who want him to suffer misfortune and get into trouble.”
Besides, you didn't explicitly object to this in the first place!
Snap!
Grandpa Su slammed his hand on the table: "What kind of tone are you using to talk to your old man?"
Clearly, Old Master Su was furious, and Su Han, as his son, naturally couldn't continue to argue back against his father.
The one who should be most ashamed is the fourth son of the Su family standing to the side.
From the beginning until now, I've just sat there drinking tea without saying a word, acting as if I have no opinion whatsoever.
But to be precise, this man was simply watching the show!
Watching my own father and brother put on a show!
To be so unscrupulous, one must be extraordinary... No wonder Old Master Su secretly groomed him as his successor.
How could someone who does such bad things possibly have a conscience?
It's impossible if you have even the slightest bit of conscience!
Su Han originally wanted to ask his younger brother for help, after all, the old man would always listen to his fourth brother's words, but the man just wouldn't look in his direction.
"Dad, I didn't want it to turn out this way, but this is the situation now!"
Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice instead, lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own foot.
They were clearly planning to take action against the Gu family, but now, everything has changed.
It can only be said that the Gu family, as the leading family in Kyoto for generations, can stir up a storm without making any big moves, and even almost made the Su family fall into their own trap.
Grandpa Su was indeed angry, but what could he do?
I just regret that the other party is more skilled!
"Find an opportunity to release them. By the way, how are things going with your sister and the others?"
