“Why?” Zhou Hengguang asked in confusion. “He had earned countless honours, but his children are kept in the dark.”
However, Zhou Hengguang soon realized he had taken things for granted.
There must have been a reason for Su Xuewen’s arrangements.
He couldn’t believe such a talented person would make a foolish decision.
Zhou Hengyang’s voice came faintly through the phone. “The situation is very complicated. It’s not something that can be explained in a few words.”
Despite Su Xuewen’s extensive experience working outside and his children’s free-range upbringing, he knew his daughters very well. Initially, they could have been properly nurtured without worrying about their potential.
Unfortunately, he had made enemies. With no time to properly nurture his daughters, he risked implicating them as well.
Su Wen had that kind of personality—impatient and vain. Once she discovered her potential, not only would her enemies come for her, but her personality might also cause trouble for herself and her sisters.
It seemed better to live a peaceful life.
As long as she could heed his dying words and live a good life with Zhou Hengyang, she wouldn’t have to worry.
Su Xuewen kept his work in the capital a secret to protect them. Villagers a.s.sumed he earned good money, but they couldn’t fathom its extent.
Su Xuewen didn’t say a word, nor did he allow Zhou Hengyang to speak. He only wished for his daughters to live peacefully, unlike him, who had fought against the heavens with his pride and talent, only to end up in misery.
In short, Su Xuewen’s achievements, status, and the enemies he had made were too formidable.
The Su sisters couldn’t handle it.
“Alright then! If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t ask,” Zhou Hengguang said helplessly. Just as he was about to hang up, Xu Xiaoxiao s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone.
“Where’s Liu Chun? I heard he went missing in the northwest. Have you found him?” As Liu Chun’s best friend, Xu Xiaoxiao missed him dearly. “Do you need my help?”
“Not yet,” Zhou Hengyang replied. Xu Xiaoxiao’s expression turned serious upon hearing this. “How are you holding up?”
“It’s more complicated than expected.”
“In whose hands? Any leads?” Xu Xiaoxiao’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Anyone who dares to harm my people is asking for death. I’ll come after tomorrow’s banquet. I’ll make sure those b*stards pay for what they’ve done.”
“You don’t have to come,” Zhou Hengyang replied coldly. “We already have a lead. The attack is imminent. Those responsible will pay the price for what Liu Chun has endured.” There was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.
Feng Yanze looked at Zhou Hengguang thoughtfully. He had heard of Zhou Hengyang’s reputation but had never interacted with him. From his tone, he knew that Zhou Hengyang was far more than the rumours suggested.
There was a reason why he could keep Zhou Hengguang and Xu Xiaoxiao under control for so many years.
After a brief discussion about work, Xu Xiaoxiao ended the call. He still had matters to attend to, so he departed swiftly..
