ies of liquor; if we keep going, it might hurt our feelings."Yuan Chen didn't buy into that idea. He stared at Wang Zheng and coldly said, "Are you messing with me""No Why would I mess with you" Wang...Chapter 234: Su Family Inquiry (Third Update!)

After hanging up the phone, Su Tianran gave his unfortunate cousin a penetrating look and said, "Go back now. Grandfather wants to see you."

Hearing this, Su Tianqi felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

"Moreover, Uncle Two is also there," Su Tianran added.

“My dad’s there too” Su Tianqi felt like the sky was falling down on him. "Let's go back then."

...

In the grand hall of Loyal Heart Manor, Mr. Su Fuhua sat in the middle with solemn dignity, his brother Su Fudan and sister Su Fulian sitting to either side of him.

The rest—Su Beijiang, Su NanGuo, and other descendants—all stood quietly in a line, waiting for Su Tianshi's arrival.

"Tianya, do you think the photo of Tianqi is real" Su Qingli covered her mouth and whispered.

“I reckon it’s about 80% likely to be true,” Su Tianya replied quietly. “Tianqi frequently gets up to such antics; having women accompany him at night isn’t uncommon for him. This time, someone must have secretly snapped the photos as part of a trap.”

"I hope he can escape this mess," Su Qingli sighed.

After sizing up everyone in the hall, Su Tianya shook his head and said, "Considering the situation, I don't think it’s possible for him to get away unscathed. Furthermore, things might turn out worse than expected."

Su Tianran finally appeared with Su Tianshi, the latter hanging his head low as if too scared to look up.

"Hey, what do you think If this time it was Su Tianran in the scandalous photo, wouldn’t things be better" Su Qingli suddenly asked.

Su Tianya glanced at her and said, "That’s an interesting idea. At least it gives us a new perspective."

We can try that next time.

"Alright."

Su Tianran walked into the hall and said to Su Fuhua, "Grandfather, I've brought Tianqi here."

Su Fuhua frowned and waved his hand. Su Tianran stepped back, giving the center of the room to the unfortunate Su Tianqi.

Thinking about Wang Zheng made Su Tianran feel a headache too. Because of past grievances between their families, this guy had become an enemy of the Sus once more. Even he found dealing with him troublesome, and yet Su Tianqi had picked a fight with him. This could only be attributed to bad luck on Su Tianqi's part. According to Su Tianran’s intentions, since failing three times already, he wouldn’t go all out against Wang Zheng unless absolutely necessary.

"Rascal, do you still have the nerve to come back"

The then Secretary of Jiangning Province, Su Nan Guo, seeing his son with a reputation for being promiscuous across all of Huaxia, was so angry he couldn’t control himself. He stepped forward and kicked right away!

Knowing he had caused major trouble, Su Tianqi didn’t dare dodge. The usually doting grandfather surprisingly didn't intervene when his son hit his grandson.

"How could I have such a son! You’ve disgraced the name of Old Su!" Su Nan Guo kicked repeatedly while scolding: "Your grandfather worked hard all his life, yet your actions have ruined everything he’s built up in just one night! A good-for-nothing offspring! Where is the face left for Old Su"

The more Su Nan Guo spoke, the angrier he became. The normally composed Secretary of Jiangning Province was now hysterical. His second son, who had been spoiled all his life, really was useless!

He’d made a fool of himself in front of everyone!

"Alright, stop it," Su Fuhua finally spoke: "I want to know what happened too, let Tianqi explain."

Su Tianqi just opened his mouth when his father roared again, "You little brat, tell me everything clearly. If you try and hide anything, I’ll tear your skin off!"

Hearing the word “brat,” Su Fuhua’s brows twitched involuntarily. His second son had really let slip that one; if he could call Tianqi a brat, then what was he An old brat

Su Tianqi again narrated what happened with stammering, ending by saying: "I don’t know what happened either. When I woke up, I was already in my own room. It must have been that Wang Zheng who framed me! He knocked me out and took naked photos of me! This man has bad intentions!"

Before Su Tianqi had finished speaking, Su Nan Guo slapped him across the face with a sharp sound that startled everyone present!

"Rascal, do you think I’d believe your lies You were the one who harassed a girl first. Do you still have the nerve to speak of reason Were you inviting her for dinner or an intimate encounter You know better than anyone!"

At such a time and still being so stubborn, trying to defame others, Su Nan Guo’s cheeks shook with rage as he said: "Do you know how many people in the capital recognize your name, Su Tianqi! Your fame has spread far and wide! You’ve dragged all of us Sus into this too!"

"I haven't lied! Everything I said is the truth!" Su Tianqi shouted while clutching his cheek where five fingers had left a mark.

"Unfilial brat! Don’t mouth off to me again!" Su Nan Guo felt like he was going crazy. How could he have such an embarrassing grandson

While the two were arguing, Su Fuhua kept ruminating on one name—Wang Zheng.

This name left a deep impression on him.

As a member of the Dragon Scale Special Forces, he caused a commotion at his birthday banquet and openly beat Xu Shuliang, bringing shame to the entire Su family. To Su Fuhua, this name was all too familiar.

He had considered eliminating this "remnant" of the Dragon Scales multiple times, but his eldest grandson, Su Tianran, had failed each time he tried. This made Su Fuhua start to reassess Wang Zheng's capabilities. However, as he observed more deeply, Su Fuhua began to genuinely feel how terrifying this young man was.

Within just half a year of arriving in the capital city, Wang Zheng had started from scratch and amassed considerable resources and connections, swallowing up various factions. Anyone who dared oppose him ended up defeated and had to surrender.

This young man kept challenging the Su family’s bottom line: first with the three diamond brands and then with Zhongding Gas, all crucial matters concerning the entire Su family's survival. This made Su Fuhua quite distressed. However, due to his absolute trust in his handpicked successor, Su Tianran, Old Master Su didn’t interfere; the previous generation’s conflicts were behind them now. If it was young people’s issues, they should resolve it themselves.

But this time, Wang Zheng had truly slapped the Su family in the face, amplifying the issue of respect and reputation that Su Fuhua cared about most.

The real name of the male protagonist in the "New Naked Pictures Scandal" was starting to circulate online, and more people were beginning to believe it. This incident would tarnish the Su family’s reputation.

Furthermore, what terrified Su Fuhua the most was that a member of the first generation Dragon Scale team had reappeared in the capital city—by no means good news for him.

In the past decades, "Dragon Scales" had been Su Fuhua's biggest headache; every time he thought about it, he felt inexplicable agitation. Since the day Dragon Scales was established, this feeling had persisted, popping up at any moment and causing him distress.

Finally, four years ago, Su Fuhua decided to eliminate this uncontrollable powerful force once and for all. Strike first before others strike back—this was Su Fuhua's usual modus operandi.

Yet even then, that nightmare-like feeling couldn’t be dispelled, and Su Fuhua didn't know the real reason behind it. Now, however, everything had become clear to him.

The Dragon Scales hadn’t been completely wiped out; they were about to make a comeback!

"A fly doesn’t land on an egg without a crack!" Su Nan Guo was still furious and trembling all over: "If you’re clean and upright, how could he have the opportunity to smear your name with mud"

"Anyway, I didn't do it. You can say whatever you want!" Su Tianqi adopted a defiant attitude, showing no fear.

The father and son argued for ten whole minutes before Su Fuhua waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop arguing. Since this has happened, let's discuss how to handle the situation."

"Grandpa, it really isn't me who did it," Su Tianqi tried to explain.

"Shut up!" Su Nan Guo slapped him again, causing stars to dance before Su Tianqi’s eyes.

"Tianran, what do you think we should do" Grandpa Su always sought Su Tianran's opinion in such matters, highlighting his significant status.

"Grandpa, according to my thoughts, we need to issue a statement immediately and apologize to the public. Our attitude must be sincere," Su Tianran said with his head bowed.

"Su Tianran, what do you mean You know it wasn't Tianqi's fault, yet you still want us to apologize" Su Tianya shouted loudly, unable to bear seeing his brother being wronged.

Su Fuhua frowned.

Su Tianran remained with his head bowed and didn’t even look at Su Tianya, let alone explain.

"Nanguo, what do you think" Su Fuhua looked at the still angry Su Nan Guo.

"Let's go with Tianran’s suggestion then. We’ll hold a press conference right away and I will apologize," said Su Nan Guo.

"Let's wait for a bit." Su Fuhua advised, "Tianran's method is good but we could delay it slightly. Otherwise, you being the Secretary of the Provincial Committee publicly apologizing to your son may set a precedent in China."

“Alright.” Su Nan Guo stepped back upon hearing this; since his father had spoken up, he knew there was nothing else for him to do.

"This Wang Zheng youth clearly wants to ride over our heads this time," said Su Fuhua coolly. "Does anyone have any better suggestions We can't just sit here waiting to be attacked."

For the younger generation of these families, Su Fuhua’s words sounded quite heavy; what did he mean by sitting and waiting for an attack The Su family was China's top political dynasty with an unshakable status. How could a young upstart who isn’t even well-known be able to overturn them
