Tao Longqing got up and left. The uncertain expression on his face made the servants of the Tao Family feel a chill in their hearts.
Even if it was his own daughter, Tao Longqing couldn't bear it anymore.
Until now, she still refused to tell him the truth. How could he trust her?
Even if they were father and daughter, they should find a better balance in their relationship. There was no way they could coexist.
Tao Longqing supported Tao Zhu before because Tao Zhu was more like him. Compared to Tao Yinan, Tao Zhu was more obedient. He could see what he was thinking.
As for his own daughter, Tao Longqing really couldn't see through her at all. He didn't know what his daughter was thinking.
Sometimes, he would be worried about his daughter, and even afraid.
This feeling really made him uncomfortable. After all, he was almost seventy years old. He had experienced all kinds of storms and waves. He had crossed all kinds of mountains and rivers.
For him to have such feelings when facing his own daughter, it was a little too difficult to talk about.
However, the more it was like this, the more it showed a problem. How scary was Tao Yinan …
In layman's terms, she couldn't blame her own brother for always wanting to get rid of her. It was because she gave people too much pressure. She was too much of a threat to Tao Zhu!
Every time Tao Zhu saw Tao Yinan, he would think that if Tao Yinan wanted to make a move on him one day, what would he use to fight against Tao Yinan?
Once Tao Yinan made a move, wouldn't he only be waiting for death?
If that was the case, what was the point of playing?
It was because of this caution and fear towards Tao Yinan that Tao Zhu always wanted to find a chance to get rid of Tao Yinan.
Every time, he would give up because the opportunity wasn't good. Tao Zhu knew very well that if he didn't grasp the opportunity well and couldn't completely get rid of Tao Yinan, then the next person to die would be himself.
Therefore, although Tao Yinan seemed to be in danger every time, nothing really happened to her. It was all because of Tao Zhu's scruples.
This time, Tao Zhu didn't think about so many messy things. At this point, he didn't plan to continue being polite with Tao Yinan.
However, in the end, Tao Yinan was one step ahead of him and made Black Water betray her.
The reason why Black Water betrayed her was simple. He had been by Tao Zhu's side for so many years. He knew Tao Zhu's every action, every word, and every thought like the back of his hand. He knew Tao Zhu's scruples towards Tao Yinan better than anyone else.
If Tao Yinan and Tao Zhu were to be torn apart together and let Black Water's bet, Black Water's bet!!
It's Black Water's, Tao Zhu wasn't Tao Yinan's opponent.
He was completely relying on Tao Longqing to support him from the back. He was completely relying on his status as a man in the family.
Tao Longqing really wasn't biased, but he had no choice but to hand over the Tao Clan to someone who could lead. At least this would make Tao Longqing feel that the Tao Clan still belonged to the Tao Clan.
But if he were to hand it over to Tao Yinan … even though she was also his biological daughter, the Tao family would no longer belong to the Tao family in the end.
Even if a son-in-law married into the family and allowed the child to continue with the surname Tao, it would only be self-deception.
It was because of this bit of selfishness that Tao Longqing fully supported Tao Zhu and his son.
Moreover, he believed that even if he lost all his teeth in a hundred years, as long as he could speak, he would have power in front of Tao Zhu.
Tao Yinan didn't like this at all. He dared to say that once Tao Yinan could make decisions in the Tao Family, he wouldn't think too much about it.
Tao Yinan's desire to control was the strongest he had seen in so many years.
Tao Longqing walked to the door and raised his head to look at the setting sun. It was just like him. It seemed that his life was coming to an end.
"Fate makes fools of people." Tao Longqing took a deep breath and sighed. There was only one way to figure out the situation, and that was to find Black Water.
But he also knew that Black Water wouldn't be so easy to find.
Since he chose to escape and didn't come back, it meant that he would be vigilant and wouldn't be found easily.
Or rather, he had left Moscow long ago. He was loyal to the Tao Family by sending Tao Yinan back.
The greatest tragedy in life was losing a child at an old age.
Everything was about to vanish into thin air. Tao Longqing knew that there was no need for him to continue daydreaming.
He couldn't keep what didn't belong to him even if he tried his best.
At this moment, Tao Longqing even had a strange hope. He actually hoped that Tao Yinan's eyes would go blind so that he wouldn't have to worry about her.
But then, he rejected this thought. If Tao Yinan was also done for, then he would really have nothing.
If he had nothing, it would mean that the entire Tao Family would fight for power. At that time, an old man like him would really have no one to rely on.
Thinking about how everything he had would be divided up bit by bit by his brothers and sisters' children, this feeling was quite unpleasant.
Tao Longqing would rather have all of this be buried in the hands of his ambitious daughter than let his nephews and nephews take advantage of them.
Why?! These were all things he had worked hard for. If it wasn't for his hard work back then, how could they become the main branch of the Tao Family? Perhaps they would have to depend on those cousins for their meals now!
And now, those cousins would have to depend on them for their meals. They could become the true masters of the Tao Family all because of him, Tao Qinglong!
Why should he hand all of this over to others … Even if those people were his biological brothers, it wouldn't do.
Just as Tao Longqing was struggling with his thoughts, the ophthalmologist that Tao Yinan asked someone to bring over finally appeared.
Tao Longqing saw a few doctors and some people bring over the equipment and immediately went forward to greet them.
"Hello, Mr. Tao!" Even the famous ophthalmologist here was very respectful to Tao Longqing.
Tao Longqing nodded and said, "I'll leave my daughter's eyes to you. As long as she's safe, I'll satisfy you no matter what you ask for!"
"Mr. Tao, you're too polite. Miss Tao is your daughter. Of course, we'll do our best to give Miss Tao the best treatment!"
Tao Longqing nodded and said, "I'm relieved to hear that. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tao. We'll do our best."
Although the doctor didn't give a definite guarantee in the end, Tao Longqing's heart was more or less relieved.
After watching them enter Tao Yinan's room, Tao Longqing left alone. He didn't want to see anyone now. He just wanted to be alone for a while.
Tao Longqing knew very well that at this moment, he believed that his brothers and sisters were thinking about how to deal with the crisis this time.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it were him, he wouldn't miss such an opportunity to seize power for himself.
Now, they should belong to the same alliance, and Tao Longqing, who was originally in high demand, was excluded.
In such a big Tao Family, the dignified head of the family, Tao Longqing, couldn't find anyone to discuss things with! How sad was this?
At this moment, he really missed his wife. That virtuous woman who could help him make decisions …
