“Brother, what about Zifeng? We won’t rescue Zifeng, will we?” Zhao Tiankai asked, still unwilling to give up.

Zhao Tianya saw that he paid so little attention to the general interest, so he glanced coldly at him and said unhappily, “The Zhao Family is now in the eye of the storm. We had better stay rather than do anything. Don’t be afraid. Zhao Zifeng won’t die.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and left angrily.

Looking serious, these people stood up one after another and went to convey the order of the family head.

Only Zhao Tiankai stood blankly there alone, looking ferocious. As he clenched his fists, the blood vessels on his forehead bulged violently.

He clearly knew that Zhao Tianya’s decision was the wisest, but he could not help hating this family without family love and these cold and uncaring family members.

The Su Family also had a large mansion, which was almost the same size as the Zhao Family’s, but since Master Su was one of the founding fathers of the country, their decoration style was quite different from the extremely luxurious style of the Zhao Family.

In the whole mansion, the tallest building was the three-story building, which had white walls and black ties but did not have any Westernized building style.

There were a few vegetable fields, a pond, and several dancing willows, which decorated many well-proportioned courtyards full of strong quaint charms.

When people walked into it, they would feel that they had returned to a farmhouse of the 1960s to 70s. It was rich in the idyllic flavor.

At this moment, the courtyard, where the three-story building representing the residence of the Su Family was located, ushered in a stunning woman.

The vicissitudes in the woman’s eyes showed that she was not young, but her unparalleled beautiful face and her graceful and slender figure made her look like a lady in her early 20s.

“First Miss, you are here.”

The two guards on guard at the courtyard gate stood straight. When they saw the woman coming, they greeted her respectfully.

“Is my dad here?” the woman looking serious asked casually and kept walking toward the courtyard.

“The master just came back from a walk.”

One guard replied respectfully and let her in even without asking her to stop and question her.

Only a few people could directly enter the place where the head of the Su Family lived without letting the owner know, and Su Ningxiang, the head’s beloved daughter, was one of them.

“Xianger, why are you here?”

A burly man was watering flowers with a watering can in the flower garden. He had grey hair and a square face, looking solemn even if he was not angry, but he was now looking at the woman with a kind smile.

When Su Ningxiang saw her father’s gray hair, her throat seemed to be gagged by something. She couldn’t help feeling sad and called in a muffled sound, “Dad!”

She went over, took Su Zhengnan’s arm, put aside his watering can, and walked silently with him toward the room.

His daughter was always strong, but now she looked haggard, and her suppressed anger was like a volcano about to erupt. When Su Zhengnan saw this immediately, he realized that something might be wrong and asked solemnly, “Xianger, what happened? Did those people bully you again?”

When saying this, Su Zhengnan got unexplained anger, which was rising uncontrollably in his chest. “What did my daughter do wrong? She just did not engage in political marriage as the clan wished, didn’t she? Is it wrong for her to pursue her happiness and marry the person she likes?

“Yes, due to what she did, the Su Family lost face completely, and some of the family members lost the opportunity to get further promotions, but for so many years as the family head, I’ve tolerated them quite much, ignored their ridicules, and also pretended that I did not know about some of the unsuitable things they did in private…

“But that’s just because I think that my daughter’s action caused certain losses to the family, so I compensated the family in this way, but it doesn’t mean that I’m weak and can be bullied.

“My daughter has been living such a hard life for so many years, and I can even feel it. She worked hard for the Su Family for over 20 years and turned the Datang Group with the market value of only a few hundred million into a listed group with tens of billions of assets. This removed the shortcoming of the Su Family. Since she has made such a contribution, what kind of dispute can’t be resolved? These people have really gone too far!

“Different from other members of the Su’s family who have many wives, children, and grandchildren, I only have one wife and one daughter in this life, and I won’t allow anyone to bully her.”

“No, dad. You have high blood pressure, and don’t get angry. Don’t you know your daughter? I can bully them, not the opposite, but I don’t.”

Keenly aware of his father’s rising anger, Su Ningxiang explained with pride like a spoiled child.

Su Zhengnan’s anger gradually disappeared, and he said with a broad smile, “That’s right. How could such idiots bully my Xianger?”

Although the father said so, he knew her daughter well. She had been strong, but she showed her rare fragility and sadness today, which meant that she must have met something that she could not tolerate. This was definitely not that simple.

“Xianger, tell me your grievance. Although I have no great ability, I will never allow others to bully you. Tell it to me. Even if I turn the world over, I will vent anger for you.”

Su Zhengnan stared unblinkingly at Su Ningxiang and spoke with a firm tone and unquestionable determination.

“Dad!”

As her mouth was shriveled and her eyes turned red, Su Ningxiang shed tears.

“Don’t cry, Xianger, don’t cry. Just tell me what happened.”

Su Zhengnan panicked and comforted her at a loss.

Since she was universally condemned and came home depressed 20 years ago, she had been acting like a strong woman, working day and night to numb her feelings and never showing any radical emotions. Seeing that, he suffered heartache, but he could not say anything and could only keep an eye on her and feel sad for her.

Although they were father and daughter, his daughter had grown up. Since her mother who could communicate with her emotionally had left, he, as a father, could not communicate with her deeply and know her heart.

But his daughter finally stopped acting at this moment and had shown the frailty of a woman for the first time in the past more than 20 years. He was gratified and felt sorry for her, but he also had wrath.

“No matter who provoked my daughter, I will make him pay a heavy price.”

In fact, Su Zhengnan was not a person who liked to shield his young without principle, but since he felt guilty to his wife and owed her mental debts, he devoted all his love to his daughter after her wife left. He did not wish her to live a rich and glorious life and only wanted her to live safely and happily all her life.

Therefore, although Su Ningxiang ignored the family’s interests, willfully broke the pledge of marriage, and also made the scandal of an unmarried pregnancy, he had never blamed her at all and had been protecting her from being harmed.

Otherwise, no matter how strong and brave Su Ningxiang had been, she could probably have not gone through the most difficult dark years.

Anyway, she was still a woman, one who had been pampered since she was young, had grown up as a noble lady from a rich and powerful family, and had never gone through any setbacks.

“Even if the sky caves in, I will still be with you. Don’t cry. Just tell me which bastard bullied you.”

The more Su Zhengnan thought about it, the angrier he became, but he tried hard to suppress his anger and asked softly.

“Dad, they didn’t bully me, but attacked Ning’er. Waaa, Ning’er was almost shot by them.”

Su Ningxiang’s grievance, which had been suppressed but could no longer be held back, came out like the flood of water from the dam.

“Ning’er? You mean my grandson?”

Hearing these words, Su Zhengnan was dazed but then realized it. As the father of Su Ningxiang, he was the only one who knew Ding Ning’s name apart from Su Ningxiang in the Su Family.

But he did not realize it for an instant. “My daughter and the grandson I have never seen have not been in contact for over 20 years, right? How could she know that my grandson was assassinated?”

But he soon remembered the shooting incident that was hotly discussed in the whole of Yan Jing in the early morning. Although he thought that it had nothing to do with the Su Family and did not pay too much attention, he, as a qualified family head, would pay attention, but he only knew the general process and did not even care about the name of the person concerned.

But Su Zhengnan became excited at this moment. Holding Su Ningxiang’s wrist tightly, he trembled and said, “You mean that Ning’er was the one who was sniped at last night? Ning’er has come to Yan Jing?”

“Yes, dad, they were so vicious and even wanted to kill him. If it weren’t for his good luck, now your only grandson would be gone.”

Su Ningxiang choked with sobs, and no one knew how she spent her time last night. After knowing that Ding Ning came to Yan Jing, she immediately arranged for people to follow Ding Ning and protect him.

But so many people watched her every one of her moves in Yan Jing, so she could not use any of her subordinates who were familiar to others and could only indirectly get two people through those she trusted to follow and protect him.

She did not expect the two people to be so useless. They followed Ding Ning from the airport to the hotel, but they did not know when he left the hotel.

When the shooting occurred, the two idiots were still eating instant noodles in the Raptor at the entrance of the Yan Jing Hotel, but they pledged that Ding Ning had been in the hotel room and had never taken one step out of Yan Jing Hotel. Hearing this, she felt the pain with fury.

“I know that. Ning’er was so lucky and fine, right? Besides, the murderer has also been arrested, but… ”

When he knew that Su Ningxiang had come for this matter, Su Zhengnan became relieved instantly. Although he was angry, his grandson was still alive.

Compared with the other members of the Su Family, he only had this daughter and this grandson. It was absolutely a lie to say that he did not care.

But he was now more worried about something else. “Did the Zhao Family also get involved in the case that Zhao Zifeng hired a killer to assassinate Ding Ning? Is the Zhao Family still unwilling to let my grandson off when the matter has passed for so many years?”

“Is the assassination of Ning’er the idea of Zhao Zifeng or the instruction of the Zhao Family behind the scenes? Has the Zhao Family learned his identity?”

Su Zhengnan, who realized that this matter was serious, became grim-faced and asked seriously.

“No, no, Zhao Zifeng is a scapegoat, and the murderer is someone else.”

Su Ningxiang choked and said. When she thought that her beloved son was almost dead, she could not help crying heartily and feeling so afraid. The anger kept churning in her chest, and she said a name that shocked Su Zhengnan, “It’s Su Xu. He is the criminal behind the scenes. He wanted to kill Ding Ning and frame Zhao Zifeng.”

Su Zhengnan was dumbfounded. The part between her eyebrows was squeezed tightly, and he asked cautiously, “This is not a joke. Do you have evidence?”

“I have no evidence, but I reasoned from various clues. I am sure it is him. This is not the first time he has wanted to kill Ding Ning. Some time ago in Ninghai, he made a move, but fortunately, someone hurried there in time and saved Ning’er. Not a long time ago, I attacked the business under his name, wanting to give him a warning, but I did not expect that he did not repent and even moved more ferociously. He used Zhao Zifeng’s disharmony with Ning’er and wanted to kill him.”

Su Ningxiang gradually stopped choking, her swollen eyes glinted with a frightening chill, and she said word by word firmly, “Dad, I won’t let you fall into a dilemma, and I just ask you to think that you don’t know about this. Ning’er is my only son, and I can’t let him live in danger. It’s easy to avoid the open attack, but it is hard to avoid the stab in the back. He was lucky this time, but he might not be so lucky next time, so Su Xu must die.”
