In truth, what the old man was thinking was that if he had a descendant like Feng Tianci, perhaps he wouldn't have to worry about the issue of succession at all.

Unfortunately, his descendants were all too weak. He once wondered if he could make his descendants stronger.
He tried many methods, both in terms of weapons and elixirs, but unfortunately, he failed in the end.

"Let's all go out."

After they left, Su Qingshi lay on the chair, his mind racing. He tried to think of many ways to escape Feng Tianci's wrath, but in the end, he just sighed helplessly.

“Once he decides to hold a grudge against us, it seems futile no matter what method he uses. And once he catches someone, he will definitely not let them go.”

After he finished speaking, fear filled his eyes. He had already experienced Feng Tianci's strength, and it was precisely because he had experienced it that he felt as if he had encountered something he couldn't touch.

After discovering some clues, Feng Tianci was surprised to find that this matter was actually related to Su Qingshi.

That's true. This old man became very afraid of death after he got older, mainly because none of his descendants were able to support him.

That's why he was so afraid.

But fear cannot prevent the fate of other families.

“Grandpa, you should rest here first. I need to meet someone. I know this person is likely to be your friend, but your presence will affect our negotiations, and it's not appropriate for you to be there.”

Knowing that his grandfather always wanted to protect him and follow him, Feng Tianci refused this time. He didn't want his grandfather to fall out with the other party, and he also didn't want his grandfather to know that his best friend was that kind of person.

The old man always respected his grandson, and when he heard his grandson say that it would affect their relationship, many people flashed through his mind.

"Alright, then you go and handle it, so that my presence doesn't affect your judgment. Besides, I know I'm always soft-hearted, and if they beg me for mercy, I'll be in a difficult position."

After the old man passed away, Feng Tianci gave some instructions to Mei Jinfeng, so Mei Jinfeng really wanted to ask her grandson, but in the end she gave up.

Only after Feng Tianci left did Mei Jinfeng say to the worried old man beside her, "Don't worry, he will definitely know his limits and will never hurt your friend."

The old man smiled and shook his head. He had figured it out by now. Having lived most of his life, he knew that self-interest was always the most tempting thing.

But only this brief moment of kinship with Feng Tianci could bring him some comfort. The child had no ulterior motives; he only wanted to protect his safety.

“My biggest worry is not my friend, but whether Tianci is safe. I know he is definitely doing this for my sake and won’t do anything to the other party this time. Actually, there are some things I want to tell him, but I still respect his choice.”

Faced with the old man's goodwill, Mei Jinfeng knew that since the old man had already spoken up, he must want Feng Tianci to be safe. He didn't want to say anything more, lest the old man feel that he was completely siding with Feng Tianci and ultimately ruin things.

"It's good that you know what's going on, sir. As for the rest, they're not really important."

After the two finished their discussion, Feng Tianci arrived at Su Qingshi's door.

He sent someone to inform him. When Su Qingshi heard that Feng Tianci had come, he was surprised, but he also knew that Feng Tianci had the ability.

Moreover, he originally intended to deceive everyone, but Feng Tianci's abilities were so powerful that he had almost no way to resist.

It seems I have failed this time after all.

"Dad, why don't we let him go back and not let him in? Otherwise, we definitely won't be able to get your medicinal herbs."

The middle-aged man was already annoyed by what he was saying. His father could have obtained the medicinal herbs, and once his father recovered, their family could have continued to thrive.

“He’s already here, how can I let him go back? Besides, since he’s already here, he must have some clues. Even if I let him leave, he’ll definitely come up with more evidence to prove himself. If we don’t open today, the old man will come knocking on our door in a couple of days. Whether our family business can continue is another matter entirely.”

He knew that Feng Tianci had come simply to ask him what had happened, and that he had indeed hurt someone, so it was time for him to pay the price.

He just didn't expect it to happen so soon. It seems that the old man probably already knows. How could someone as smart as the old man be kept in the dark?
"I'm sorry, Ah Hai. We were childhood friends when we were young, but now I can't visit you as a childhood friend, nor can I let this matter go in the name of childhood friends. Although I don't care about age, my younger generation is really giving me a lot of trouble."

When Feng Tianci entered, he saw that Su Qingshi had already brewed tea for him and was sitting in the seat of honor. Even so, Su Qingshi's eyes were filled with endless fatigue, but when he saw Feng Tianci, his eyes became slightly more affectionate.

“Child, you’ve finally come. I knew you would come, and in the end, you were the ones who suffered injustice this time.”

Hearing him bring it up on his own initiative, and the frankness he showed at this time, Feng Tianci was particularly surprised. Shouldn't you have kept everything a secret at this time?
At least this way you'll have the upper hand and won't end up severing ties with me like this.

It seems you already knew that I had come looking for you, and that I wouldn't just let things end so easily.

“I don’t understand why you would do this, Grandpa Su. Logically speaking, we have always respected you very much. My grandfather has always been helping your company. But you betrayed him like this. The old man doesn’t know. If he finds out, he will surely be heartbroken.”

When Feng Tianci mentioned the old man, Su Qingshi's emotions were indeed off. He knew he had let down his good friend, but he had no other choice.

“This company has gone through decades of changes. Your family's business is indeed doing well, and my family's business has also prospered in recent years thanks to the old man's help. However, this concerns our family's lives, so I had no choice but to steal the medicinal herbs. As for Xia Liuqing's wounds, we only caused some superficial injuries.” (End of this chapter)
