“What’s wrong?”
Chen Wenwen held Su Mu’s hand that was pangs of cold, her eyes full of worry.
“Nothing.”
Su Mu forced a smile: “I need to call grandpa.”
“Okay.”
Chen Wenwen nodded and consciously left, leaving Su Mu a quiet environment.
After a short phone beep, Su Mu heard a familiar “bar bar bar bar” sound.
This was Old Master Su smoking a dry cigarette.
Although Su Mu had bought many good cigarettes for the old man, the old man’s favourite was still dry tobacco, holding the stick like a gun, squatting at the edge of the courtyard, squinting his eyes slightly, swallowing a mouthful of mist.
“You used to call once a week, and it hasn’t even been a week since you last called today.”
Elder Su exhaled a mouthful of smoke: “Did something happen?”
“Grandpa, my a*sets have been frozen.”
Su Mu was also blunt: “Su Chenge proposed to block the economic authority of those of us who are descendants of the direct line.”
“This matter ah.”
Elder Su took his cigarette stick and knocked twice on the threshold, then put on a new roll of cigarettes and continued to bar a couple of puffs before he said without haste, “I knew about it a long time ago.”
“What?”
Su Mu was a bit confused.
He thought that Old Master didn’t know about this matter.
However, since Old Master had known about it a long time ago, why didn’t he talk to him about it in advance?
Although from the family’s perspective, there was no excuse for this reform.
But to freeze a*sets straight away without any advance notice like this, so that people don’t even have time to prepare in advance and lose a large amount of money by surprise, resulting in a sudden break in the capital chain on hand and the business they run almost being wiped out, everyone can’t accept it, right?
“I said I knew about this a long time ago.”
Master Su’s voice was still calm: “This little brat Su Chen Ge is up to no good, right?”
“Er …… yes.”
Su Mu nodded in amazement: “Grandpa, it’s been many years since you retired from the position of family head, you have long since stopped asking about the family’s affairs and led a leisurely retirement life, how come you still know about these things?”
After his twentieth birthday, Elder Su had told him many things.
Among them were the great years of the old master’s past.
The Hermitage Su Family, although its overall strength had always been at the top of the list of Hermitage Families, the wealth it possessed was not the first in the world.
It was only when Old Master Su took over as head of the family that he finally pushed the Hidden Su Family to the very top.
Whether in terms of economy, connections, status or force, the Su Family became the undeserved number one in the world!
Later, Master Su felt that it was no fun to be number one in the world for too long, so he stepped down from the position of family head.
Because Elder Su’s decision to step down was impromptu, the question of who the new head of the family should be became the biggest problem for the Su family.
Everyone asked Master Su to choose one, as this would be the most convincing.
But Master Su said that he had already abdicated and would no longer interfere in the affairs of the family, so in the end the Su family could only decide on the choice of the head of the family through an election.
Although for a long, long time after his abdication, Elder Su still had residual authority in the family hierarchy, but because since his abdication, Elder Su had really never bothered with the affairs of the Su family again, so by now, it seemed that Elder Su really had no more say within the family.
After all, those at the top of the family have changed one group after another as time has pa*sed, and are now almost exclusively the beloved of the current family head, who has no more relationship with Elder Su.
Even Elder Su
Even Zhong Li Ting, the head of the Su family’s intelligence network, who was the most trusted member of the family, has recently stepped aside and is no longer able to keep up with the latest news from the Su family’s intelligence network.
That’s why Su Mu couldn’t call on the Su family’s intelligence about the unjust case of Tan Ru Fei’s wife ten years ago, and had to let Yuan Lao Si and the others investigate the clues.
“You don’t have to worry about how I know this matter.”
Elder Su said slowly and methodically, “You only need to know that Su Chenge is just a little brat in front of you, and the head of the Su family is also just a little brat in front of me.”
At those words, Su Mu had an understanding.
At this time, Elder Su exhaled a long puff of smoke: “Ah Little Mu, there is another thing you may not know.”
“What is it, Grandpa?”
Su Mu asked curiously.
“Actually, Su Chenge is not proposing to freeze the funds of the direct descendants, but …… to freeze yours.”
Elder Su said blandly.
“What!?”
Su Mu was instantly furious.
If Su Chenge’s proposal was to cancel some of the privileges of all the direct descendants and use more funds to enhance the family, then although he was dissatisfied with the family’s preemptive action, he was able to understand the family’s decision.
However, what was happening now was that not all the financial permissions of the direct descendants had been removed, but he was the only one being targeted!
“Well, Su Chenge is targeting you.”
Elder Su rippled as he smoked his dry cigarette: “To be precise, it’s the current family head who is targeting you. That little brat wants to use Su Chenge as a gun to test whether I have really put down my family rights.”
“Little Mu, what do you think I should do?”
Hearing the old master’s words, Su Mu couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
In his memory, the old master was a violent temper, until he once fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, then he listened to the doctor and started to cultivate his temper to control it.
However, this did not mean that the old man had really become a soft persimmon that would be bullied.
“But grandpa, can you still ……”
Su Mu was a little worried, he was afraid that the old man would get hurt.
“Ah Xiao Mu, you are my own grandson.”
Old Master Su suddenly said something that made Su Mu a bit puzzled.
Just as Su Mu was about to ask the old master why he was saying this, he heard the old master chuckle: “You don’t like to do things that you are not sure of, do you?”
At those words, Su Mu immediately understood.
He was the old master’s own grandson, so he and the old master should have a lot in common.
He liked to put me in things left and right, then the old master was the same way.
So the old master was saying that he had full control to deal with all problems.
“My style of action is to strike a blow and deliver a thunderous blow before the enemy even notices.”
The old man put down his dry tobacco stick: “That’s why I knew about Su Chenge a long time ago, but didn’t tell you about it, because I didn’t want to alert the snake.”
“There too, I understand.”
Su Mu’s brow finally relaxed.
“In two more days I will be almost ready, and I will send someone to pick you up to return to the family headquarters then.”
Elder Su smiled.
“But I haven’t completed the family mission yet, can’t I go to the family headquarters?”
Su Mu was puzzled.
“If you were an ordinary direct descendant, then it would be impossible to go to the family headquarters before completing the family mission anyway.”
Elder Su grinned, “But, you are Su Mu, my Su Xiaozheng’s own grandson, so that’s different!”
