First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 777: The Su Family Tears Itself Apart—Husband, the Su Family Is in Trouble!
On the other side.
The Su Family.
The Dong Family side was fighting fiercely, with pots, pans, bowls, and dishes clattering and crashing to the floor. How could the Su Family not have noticed something?
But the Su Family members were helpless.
The patriarch wasn't here; he had gone out to 'seek aid'.
Well, well.
They really are birds of a feather.
Without prior consultation, their excuses were even the same.
At this moment, the Su Family members were still eagerly looking forward to the patriarch's quick return.
Little did they know, while they sighed for their father, the light boat had already passed through ten thousand mountains—he had long since run off without a trace.
Return?
The fact that he didn't take all the family's hidden treasures with him was already a testament to the Su Patriarch having at least a shred of conscience.
This also indirectly confirmed that these children were indeed his own flesh and blood.
The Su Family's front hall.
A figure rushed in hurriedly.
"Second Lord! Second Lord!! The commotion at the Dong Family has stopped!!!"
As this voice rang out.
Everyone in the front hall stood up in unison.
There were no outsiders.
These were all Old Man Su's children.
Compared to Old Man Dong, who only had a few sons and daughters, the Su Patriarch had many more.
And the Second Lord called out by the newcomer was precisely Old Man Su's second son, Su Changming.
He was also usually the most resourceful person in the Su Family.
Feeling the gazes from his other siblings.
Su Changming frowned.
"Now there are only two possible outcomes: Lu Ding won, or he lost."
"Even if the Dong Family patriarch, like our Su Family patriarch, feared the Elder Shui behind Lu Ding and chose to go out to seek aid, leaving only Dong Tai, Dong Quan, and the others, given Lu Ding's cultivation level, it's almost impossible for him to win."
"If, under such circumstances, he wants to defeat the Dong Family, then he must have external assistance."
"If external assistance can help him defeat the Dong Family, then it can certainly defeat us too........."
As Su Changming spoke, his heart sank straight down.
Compared to the Dong Family, although the Su Family had a thriving population, they were definitely weaker.
Now, with their own patriarch absent, he, as the Second Lord of the Su Family, had to act in the family's interests.
Actually, as a smart person, Su Changming had long suspected that his own father might not return after going out.
Unless, after this matter was over, there were still family bloodlines left, and the Dong Family still existed...
But to preserve the Su Family under someone like Lu Ding, who had such a personality and sufficient capability...
The difficulty was not small.
The only way...
Thinking this, Su Changming looked towards Su Xiu and Su Hongyu.
One was his biological younger brother, the other his biological niece.
Originally, they had wanted to follow the Dong Family's example of sending Dong Minglong away to avoid trouble by sending Su Hongyu away, but before it was decided, the sent-out Dong Minglong had died.
In the end, the plan to send Su Hongyu away had to be abandoned, thinking Hanjing was safer. Who knew Lu Ding would actually come knocking at their door?
Looking at it this way, the Su Family's trip to the new city, their plan to deal with Lu Ding, might have been exposed.
There was no way around it then. The opposing party was strong, so they could only make the worst-case plan to 'send away' this father and daughter pair.
Su Changming spoke with deliberate coldness: "Fifth Brother, Hongyu......."
Before he could finish.
Su Xiu stood up directly.
"Second Brother, no need to say more. I understand your meaning. One should answer for what one does. I, Su Xiu, simply couldn't stomach the grudge of Lu Ding killing my son in the Third Circle, so I secretly planned on my own to deal with this special envoy."
"It has nothing to do with the Su Family. The other members of the Su Family knew nothing about it."
"If Lu Ding returns later, I will make it clear to him. Whether to kill or slice me, it depends on his ability. It's only about being less skilled, about accepting defeat gracefully. It's not about begging for mercy or regretting it later!"
"I hope Second Brother can protect my Hongyu. She is still young, my only daughter."
Dong Minglong's father was actually quite smart too; it's just that his son's death, grief, and anger clouded his judgment.
Su Xiu hadn't lost a daughter, so of course his mind was clearer.
With the family facing a crisis, needing someone to sacrifice, he, the person with countless entangled grudges against Lu Ding, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Su Hongyu's eyes reddened: "Father!!!"
"Shut up!!"
Su Xiu shouted angrily: "I don't have a daughter like you! Your cultivation is lacking, your character is lacking, your knowledge is lacking, your future is lacking. To think you were born into the Su Family, bearing the Su surname, yet you show no desire to improve, no ambition to advance! What face do you have to call me father!?"
Displaying his stance, a ruthless severance.
Although his words were harsh.
But Su Hongyu couldn't accept it. She knew her father cherished her.
Everything was for her to survive, everything was for the Su Family to overcome this difficulty.
"Father!! Even if I die, I want to die with you! This matter also started because of me! Your daughter wants to face it together with you!!!"
Su Xiu stepped forward, raised his arm, and slapped Su Hongyu across the face: "You disgrace!!!"
"In the past, you could refute me, but today, with a great enemy at our gates, you still dare to refute me! With our ancestors above, brothers and sisters in this hall, all sides as witnesses, heaven hearing and earth listening, Su Hongyu is obstinate and unteachable. From this day forth, I, Su Xiu, sever the father-daughter relationship with Su Hongyu."
Su Hongyu was somewhat incredulous. She knew this was fake, but she couldn't accept it either.
Her eyes filled with helplessness as she looked towards the noblewoman sitting in the main seat in the hall.
"Ai......"
A sigh sounded.
The woman stood up.
She was none other than the Su Patriarch's eldest daughter, Su Zhiqin.
Although she was a woman and married, within the Su Family, her status was second only to the Su Patriarch. No one else could surpass her.
It wasn't just because she was the eldest, not just because she basically raised all these younger brothers and sisters, and not just because her husband was the head of the Hanjing Second Institute Review Office of the Great Han's Dove Faction 749 Bureau.
More importantly, it was her great wisdom that appeared as foolishness.
Although her quick-wittedness might not match Su Changming, the Su Family's second son, when it came to major matters, she was the true pillar!
A great woman in the true sense, a real formidable figure!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have found such an outstanding husband in a mutual pursuit.
However, Su Zhiqin, who had been perceptive all her life, might be confused today. Because this was not only her home, but it also held her younger brothers and sisters.
"Alright, Second Brother, Fifth Brother, Hongyu."
"This matter hasn't reached a dead end yet."
One sentence awakened everyone. Could it be.......
They saw the standing Su Zhiqin take out her phone and make a call: "Husband, the Su Family is in trouble."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before a reply came: [You know my position is special. Many things cannot set a precedent. Once there's one time, there will be countless times.]
Su Zhiqin showed little emotional fluctuation: "Do you expect me to watch the Su Family head towards destruction and do nothing? If that's the case, I might affect you. Let's get a divorce then."
This sentence completely silenced the other end.
After a good while, the voice came again: "Ai....... Just this once. If you are in the right, show your stance. If you are not in the right, hand over the person. If you violated rules, surrender yourselves. The review procedures are of a higher level than the 749 Bureau's processes. I will arrive before he does. You still have time. Lu Ding's identity is special and requires careful handling. Wait for me."
