Chapter 45
When the scarlet sunset finally drowned the distant mountains, the distant sky was coated with a layer of heavy darkness. The night of Hong Kong was still shining lights, and under the shell of prosperity was a cold concrete jungle. Lonely people scrambled to seek solace, where after short satisfaction was a more terrible emptiness.
Emptiness was like a virus eating away at the heart, and the feeling of powerlessness spread from the chest to every inch of the body.
The white gloved hand slowly pressed on the large glass window in front of him. The city was under the eyes of bright lights, where the brightness showed no warmth and the coldness harsh.
“Mr. Chen, a week has passed since the quarterly meeting. The situation there is a bit complicated, should we not go back immediately?” The subordinate standing at a distance looked at the lone figure of the man by the window and asked in a cautious whisper. Ye Ziwu’s side of the matter had been resolved, and Hong Kong could no longer trap them.
“The Su family was originally his.” The low voice came slow, Chen Yuan looked into the distance where the sky and water met the thick ink-like black, his eyes gloomy and dark, “We go back to Europe, France.”
From now on, there was no longer Su family Chen Yuan.
……
……
“From today onwards, the Su family no longer has Chen Yuan.”
Black hair combed to the back, under the clean forehead was a pair of cold and steely eyebrows like a sword. Looks that could be compared to a painting had a strong aura that made people unable to look at the man directly.
The silver-white ring on his right hand shone blindingly in the sunlight, and the man sitting at the top ended the seasonal meeting of the Su family with these words.
Three fires with the rising of a new leader; Su Bai, a chief that seemingly came from nowhere, would inevitably encounter rejection from some of the family. The first fire burned Su family patriarch Su Hong’s little white boy; the second fire burned out Chen Yuan, the first family traitor, and the plane’s black box memory card was released; as for the third fire, it was in the hands of Su Yu and Su Qicheng and other close subordinates.
On the seventh day of Master Su’s return to the Su family, a part of the Su family suddenly left the clan and ran to France. Most of these people were under Chen Yuan, and with Chen Yuan no longer intending to return to the Su family, they went from Hong Kong back to Europe directly in France to set up a new business. Some of the original supporters of Chen Yuan saw their boss gone, and knowing that sooner or later they were to be offed by the new ruler, also ran away.
As for those who did not run, they were punished and made an example of.
Tang Xiao found that seeing Master Su Bai was really more difficult day by day.
The first day they came to England, Master Su could still let Edward send a notice: tonight at eight o’clock where and where to meet for a meal. On the table, only business was talked and no feelings involved. Tomorrow, a task to help check who and who. The day after, send out a killer to help kill who and who. The day after that, introduce a Su family business, we work together, and so on and so forth.
Since the end of the Su family summer quarterly meeting, the members went back to where they came from. Receiving orders and seeing clearly the kind of leader they now had, all of them quickly went back to their original businesses. None of them were concerned with the power struggles between the rich and powerful, so long as the fire did not burn to where they were.
With the Su family now back in hands of Master Su, though no bridges were burned, Su Bai moved back into the Su family without a word. Now a gate blocked Tang Xiao outside, and every time he went to ask Su Bai out, the official answer was always: Su master is busy, he will not see guests these few days.
Now, Tang Xiao suddenly missed the time when Master Su was just Su Mo; when Master Su was not surrounded by the hot chick Su Yu, or the big white polar bear Su Qicheng, and also no punishments that could come at anytime, anywhere to kill you. In order to come out on top, Master Su at that time could hold back himself. Tang Xiao realized that he missed a crucial opportunity, a chance to tease Master Su during those times.
After half a month, under the perseverance of Tang Xiao, he finally became the first outsider to enter the Su family mansion after Master Su regained control of the Su family.
Tang Xiao only brought two people with him, one Tang Ka and one Edward.
The three people entered the low-key and luxurious Su family mansion and were omitted to be searched. When stepping into the Su family house, which was comparable to the Heshen Palace, the person who had the greatest impact was not Tang Xiao but Tang ka, who still had a flamboyant taste of fashion. Abandoning the leopard print for the embrace of zebra print, a black and white zebra print shirt in the antique Su family mansion looked particularly out of context.
“This is more exaggerated than in the movies! It’d take a small mobster a decade of bloodshed to climb and become the leader, but Su Mo is simply a hacker with less than half a year of time to turn from a depressed large university professor into a boss, specifically the boss of the Su family!” Until now, Tang Ka still found it difficult to accept the fact that Su Bai turned into a powerful European figure in the blink of an eye.
He thought about it day and night until finally when he came to a conclusion, “Boss, I now know why you used a gun to force me to study back then, people who have read books are different! No diploma mobster can beat a black-bellied university teacher.”
“Then why aren’t you going back to study?” Tang Xiao gently smiled, he came to Britain quite a few times, but this was the first time he was in the Su family mansion. The bricks and tiles that had a strong taste of antiquity, when associated with Su Bai, was really suitable.
Tang Ka pulled his mouth a smile, confidently said, “I’m reading every day!”
“Erotic ones.” Edward added.
“Erotica is also literature! You cannot discriminate, if the university were to open a human body research course, I’d be the top professor!” Tang Ka laughed heatedly. He looked around and sighed, “But no wonder this Su family is a big clan in Europe, their mansions are so grand.”
After walking with the Su family members for a while, Tang Xiao finally met the “burner of bridges” Master Su. The Su family house had a clear lake with the shore opening a road to the center of the lake. In the center was a simple four-walled cabin, the master was leaning on a wooden bench surrounded by three people.
The weather was still stiflingly hot in the summer time.
Su Bai was lying against the bench, his left hand picking up a cigarette from time to time to lightly inhale two puffs. Though he always had his cigarette, he did not smoke that often. Since the time he was shot in the chest by Lin Fan, he was forced to decrease his frequency. Now, holding the cigarette was just out of habit.
It was not hard to quit smoking and drinking, the hard part was quitting the habit.
“Mr. Tang is here, please have a seat.” Wearing a plain silk long coat and pants, Master Su saw Tang Xiao and his group from afar walking on the wooden bridge leading to the lake center. He waved at them as if commanding puppies.
The man’s habit of being bare feet had him casually stepping on the benches, the low stool next to it had a pair of shoes neatly placed. People who were used to seeing the darkness of the world always had a special preference for white. Even now when he became Su Mo, the man would never go to change into a pair of black shoes.
“Yo, Mr. Su! Turning more and more imposing huh.” Tang Ka, from behind his cousin, peeked out his head and took a look at Su Bai. He secretly thought, look at this scene, if someone did not know better they would have assumed we were filming a movie…
“With this mouth of yours, say another word and I’ll let the newspaper headlines tomorrow be about photos of the young master Tang’s special three areas.” Su Bai said, half teasing.
Tang Ka immediately jumped up, “Hurry, return the photo to me!”
“Sure. Just as I told you before, if you can beat him up I’ll give you the photos, or you let him fuck you once.” Master Su winked to the side, and the blonde man who had been standing behind him massaging his shoulders stepped out.
“Bullshit! I, Tang Ka Young Master Tang, am not interested in men, and even if I play with men, I’m on top!” Rolling up his sleeves, Tang Ka pointed at Simon, “Come on! Your sneak attack from last time doesn’t count, we have to play a good fight to determine the winner!”
Simon’s calm face twitched slightly as Master Su’s order came from the side, “Don’t hit young Tang’s face, just beat his ass.”
Tang Ka yelled and Simon left the center of the lake; watching a volcano and an iceberg walking together was quite interesting. Sitting on Su Bai’s right was Su Yu trimming his nails, the pair of phoenix eyes fell on the tall and handsome Tang Xiao. Her red lips raised, and just as she was about to speak, Su Qicheng had stolen the opportunity.
“Mr. Tang, when are we free to go gambling again? Last time cannot be counted, I was not at my full potential with Master Su’s knifing eyes at the side, so that card only… Ow!” Su Qicheng was nailed hard by Su Yu’s twelve-inch heel.
“Su Qicheng, you’re so annoying, shut up!”
“Master, she hit me again!” Unable to win arguments nor beat this spirited woman, Su Qicheng hurriedly asked for help from the big Buddha beside him.
“All right you two, restrain yourselves in front of outsiders.” Master Su stretched his foot towards Su Qicheng’s stomach and stepped on top, the touch was so soft, similar to cotton.
“Take Edward for a stroll around, I have a word with Mr. Tang alone.”
Receiving the order, Su Yu stepped on her red-soled high heels and put her arm on Edward’s shoulders, “Let’s go, still looking at your boss fondly? Can’t you see that your boss’ eyes has been nailed to my master since he came over, like a tiger.”
Edward frowned at the side of the Tang Xiao, the latter gave him a faint smile, “Go.”
Under the eyes flashed shallow disappointment, Edward was vigorously pulled away by Su Qicheng. Su Yu followed behind, and before leaving she looked back towards the lake, her fourth uncle really did not change at all, attracting so many flowers.
