The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 426: Chapter 427 Garbage Cleanup Fee

“Brother Tianba, are you planning to cut off my escape route?” Li Chen’s gaze suddenly turned fierce. Now that he’s been forced into this situation, appearing too weak is useless, so he could only try to be more assertive.

Wang Tianba isn’t actually brave enough to stir up trouble; he’s just a bully who fears the strong. Since he isn’t any kind of big shot, he usually relies on his few subordinates to swagger around here.

In fact, he can only bully those who are honest by nature. If someone else acts strong, he might feel guilty. However, he’s particularly familiar with Li Chen and knows exactly what he’s made of.

“Li Chen, stop pretending with me. What if I do cut off your escape route? If you dare spread this around, do you believe I won’t make that old bastard lying in the hospital truly die?!” Wang Tianba said viciously.

Upon hearing this, the momentum Li Chen had just built up vanished completely, and he said helplessly, “Brother Tianba, give me a little more time. Once I get the order, I’ll definitely pay you the money.”

“Don’t think I’m a three-year-old kid. I want the money today. You’ve got 10 minutes to figure it out.” Wang Tianba said forcefully.

Meanwhile, inside the shop, Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu had finished picking out their selections and intended for Li Chen to organize the photos they had chosen, but they couldn’t find him anywhere.

“Eh, where did they go?” Tang Qiulu asked puzzledly. “Why is even Xu Weiwei nowhere to be seen?”

Su Changfeng smiled slightly. Back at Heaven Island, he had already known about the ambiguous relationship between Li Chen and the bridal shop’s female owner. Could it be that he also had an affair with Xu Weiwei? It’s really unexpected, seeing Li Chen, who appears to be all serious, actually being a playboy.

“Let’s wait a while; maybe the two of them have something important to attend to right now,” Su Changfeng said. Though he wouldn’t do such things, he wouldn’t use his standards to judge others. So, even if Li Chen was a womanizer, he wouldn’t interfere.

“Let’s go out for some fresh air; it’s too stuffy in here,” Tang Qiulu said.

Su Changfeng nodded. This place didn’t seem to have many visitors, so the air was quite stale, which indeed felt uncomfortable.

As they reached the studio’s door, Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu saw Li Chen sitting on the ground, along with Wang Tianba’s particularly arrogant group of thugs.

When Wang Tianba saw Tang Qiulu, his face was filled with shock. Someone at his level, living at the bottom, usually only sees top beauties on TV. The women he usually encounters are basically those from the hair salons, making it impossible to see a beauty of Tang Qiulu’s caliber.

“Li Chen, stop crying poor to me, they should be your clients, right?” Wang Tianba laughed as he examined Tang Qiulu.

“Who are you?” Su Changfeng asked.

“I’m here to collect the garbage disposal fee, nothing to do with you. If you have nothing to do, don’t ask so many questions, just get lost.” Wang Tianba said, leering at Tang Qiulu.

Garbage disposal fee?

Su Changfeng laughed upon hearing this. Who would have thought that in today’s society, someone would dare pull a petty trick like this.

“It doesn’t look dirty around here,” Su Changfeng said.

“Young man, don’t be ungrateful. When you’re told to leave, just leave immediately. Do you have to create trouble for yourself?” Wang Tianba said unhappily.

“Now in Jiang City, it’s all Zhu Lie’s territory, right? Are you collecting the garbage fee for Zhu Lie, or are you planning to pocket it yourselves?” Su Changfeng asked.

To Wang Tianba, Zhu Lie is like a figure standing in the clouds; the gap between them is like heaven and earth.

But hearing Su Changfeng suddenly mention Zhu Lie, Wang Tianba saw it as an attempt to deliberately scare him. So, Wang Tianba started to brag as well. Since we’re bragging, let’s do it together.

“Young man, you seem quite knowledgeable, to know who Brother Lie is. Let me tell you the truth, I’m Brother Lie’s cousin. Scared now?” Wang Tianba said proudly.

Su Changfeng smiled awkwardly. He’d known Zhu Lie for over three years and had never heard Zhu Lie mention having a cousin. This guy was clearly faking it, using Zhu Lie’s name to throw his weight around.

“Oh, really? I’m friends with Zhu Lie. How come he never mentioned this to me?” Su Changfeng said.

Wang Tianba also laughed. This kid actually dared to claim he was Zhu Lie’s friend. Looks like his boasting has finally met a match this time.

“Shows you’re not that close. Otherwise, how come we haven’t met? Just last night, I had dinner with him in the most luxurious private room at Charm, and Brother Lie prepared a whole table for me. My relationship with Brother Lie is like that of blood brothers,” Wang Tianba said.

Since we’re bragging, a little embellishment doesn’t matter. However, he hadn’t considered the consequences of such statements.

“Is that so? Why don’t I call him over so we can get to know each other here?” Su Changfeng said.

“Brother Lie drank too much last night and is still sleeping now. I wouldn’t want to disturb him,” Wang Tianba said.

Su Changfeng shook his head and said, “I didn’t ask you to contact him. You probably don’t have Zhu Lie’s phone number. I’ll contact him myself.”

Su Changfeng said, pulling out his phone.

Seeing this, Wang Tianba suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be this kid really knew Zhu Lie? If so, he wouldn’t be able to bluff his way out.

But after closely observing Su Changfeng, he didn’t seem like a big shot at all, probably faking it, just putting on a show.

With this in mind, Wang Tianba felt a bit relieved, “You’re still putting on an act, kid. Someone like you can’t come into contact with Zhu Lie, so stop pretending.”

“Zhu Lie, I heard you have a cousin who got drunk with you last night. He’s standing in front of me now, why don’t you come over and reconnect with your family?” Su Changfeng said, laughing when he got connected.

Wang Tianba couldn’t hear the other side of the call, but Su Changfeng’s tone made him more certain that Su Changfeng was exaggerating.

In Jiang City, even the Gu Family wouldn’t speak to Zhu Lie like that, so someone like him certainly wouldn’t have the standing.

“Not bad, kid. If you don’t become an actor, it’ll be a waste of talent. I’m not leaving, I’ll wait right here to see how far your story goes,” Wang Tianba laughed.

During the conversation between the two, Wang Tianba’s several subordinates kept their eyes on Tang Qiulu, which made Su Changfeng particularly uncomfortable. Trash like this doesn’t even deserve another look at Tang Qiulu.

“You go inside first,” Su Changfeng said to Tang Qiulu.
