The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 427: Chapter 428: Zhu Lie Really Came

Tang Qiulu nodded and pulled Xu Weiwei into the studio because she also disliked the looks from this group of people.

Wang Tianba’s eyes betrayed reluctance, but suddenly he heard Su Changfeng say, ”If you dare to keep looking, I don’t mind crippling your eyes.”

”Yo, kid, your tone is pretty bold. I didn’t deal with you before, but if you’re looking for trouble, don’t blame me for being harsh.” Wang Tianba stared coldly at Su Changfeng.

”Don’t say you’re not Zhu Lie’s cousin; even if you are, if I want to cripple you, Zhu Lie wouldn’t say a word against it,” Su Changfeng continued.

Wang Tianba laughed loudly because he thought Su Changfeng was bragging ridiculously, as if he were more powerful than Zhu Lie.

Currently, in Jiang City, Zhu Lie is the boss in the gray areas, and even the Gu Family wouldn’t dare underestimate him. Wang Tianba couldn’t imagine anyone more formidable than Zhu Lie.

”I advise you to be careful with your bragging. If what you said reaches Zhu Lie, your fate won’t be pleasant. Do you think it’s okay to talk recklessly in the dark?” Wang Tianba threatened.

”You’ll find out soon if I’m talking nonsense. I hope you don’t go weak in the knees later,” Su Changfeng said.

”Weak in the knees? I’ve seen all sorts of storms in my life, and you think I’d go weak in the knees?” Wang Tianba said calmly.

After more than 10 minutes, a Mercedes business car drove into the alley.

Seeing a car arrive, Wang Tianba immediately led his people to block the way. It seemed they intended to demand a toll fee.

With a clatter, the car door opened, and Feng Bin got out first.

Seeing Feng Bin, Wang Tianba immediately felt his breathing become a bit uneasy.

Then Zhu Lie got out of the car as well, and now Wang Tianba’s legs began to tremble, most likely forgetting all he had just said.

”Changfeng, why do I suddenly have a cousin? Did you make a mistake?” Zhu Lie asked Su Changfeng, looking puzzled.

Su Changfeng pointed at Wang Tianba and said, ”Look, this guy claims to be your cousin. Didn’t you two drink together last night in the biggest suite at Charming?”

”What the hell are you?” Zhu Lie frowned, looking displeased. Using his name to scam people was indeed courting death.

Wang Tianba’s face turned deathly pale. Never did he expect that his bragging would lead to this, but Su Changfeng was real. He just made a call, and Zhu Lie actually came!

”Brother Lie... I was just joking. Who knew... who knew...” Wang Tianba was almost in tears, not expecting Changfeng to actually bring Zhu Lie over!

”Who knew I really called your ’cousin’ over?” Su Changfeng laughed.

Wang Tianba went straight to his knees and said, ”Brother Lie, I realize my mistake now. I shouldn’t have used your name to scam people.”

The few followers also knelt alongside Wang Tianba, and their previous arrogance vanished instantly.

”I came here early in the morning for a family reunion, and it turns out you guys were causing trouble. Did you think I’d let you off?” Zhu Lie said coldly.

Wang Tianba was sweating profusely, stealing a glance at Su Changfeng. He wondered what sort of big shot he was to summon Zhu Lie with just a phone call, and judging by their relationship, they seemed at least on the same level.

Since when did Jiang City gain such a formidable figure?

”Brother Changfeng, I was wrong. I thought you were bluffing, so I bragged a bit more. I didn’t expect you to be truly impressive. I’m begging you for one more chance; I won’t do this kind of thing again.” Wang Tianba pleaded with Su Changfeng.

”Is it that you won’t brag anymore, or won’t collect some kind of ’garbage clearance fee’ anymore?” Su Changfeng asked.

Wang Tianba looked full of pain. He could stop bragging, but if he couldn’t collect the clearance fee, he’d have no money!

”Oh, collecting garbage clearance fees in Jiang City, you really didn’t consider Zhu Lie in all this, did you, Changfeng? I’ll handle this matter, you get on with your business,” Zhu Lie said.

Su Changfeng nodded his head. Wang Tianba and his men were taken away, faces full of despair. In Su Changfeng’s eyes, they were not worthy of pity—a bunch of societal scum bullying ordinary people. Even if they died, he wouldn’t find it pitiful.

”Thank you, Brother Changfeng,” Li Chen stood up, walked over to Su Changfeng, and said gratefully.

”I told you before, I’d give you a chance. If you want it, go find Zhu Lie,” Su Changfeng said, walking into the studio.

Li Chen stood there excitedly. The opportunity Su Changfeng gave him could change his life.

Right now, treating his foster mother was hard to sustain on Li Chen’s current job. That was the reason Li Chen stayed on Heaven Island initially.

To Li Chen, it was essentially a gamble. If he placed the right bet, not only would he get a new life, but he would also get the money to treat his foster mother.

”Mom, don’t worry. No matter how much it costs, I’ll save you. Even if I end up with nothing, I’m willing.”

”You raised me; just for that, I’ll protect you. After all, in this world, you’re my only family, and I won’t let King Yama take you away.”

Inside the studio, Tang Qiulu had already chosen photos with Xu Weiwei, and the matter was settled.

But Su Changfeng noticed Tang Qiulu seemed a bit uneasy, especially with a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

On the way home, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but ask Tang Qiulu, ”What’s wrong? Why the sudden sadness?”

Tang Qiulu sighed helplessly and said, ”Do you know why Li Chen has no money?”

Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow and said, ”If I had to guess, it’s probably because of a woman.”

”Li Chen’s foster mother is seriously ill and is currently in the hospital. Xu Weiwei said that during the treatment period, Li Chen used up all his savings and even sold his house and car, which is why he’s in this state now,” Tang Qiulu lamented.

When she heard about Li Chen’s story, she was filled with disbelief because in Tang Qiulu’s view, Li Chen wasn’t a good person. Su Changfeng could sense the ambiguity between him and the bridal shop owner, so Tang Qiulu certainly noticed too.

Originally thinking Li Chen was a playboy, it turned out there was such a story behind him. The main thing is, Li Chen sacrificed so much for his foster mother.

”Foster mother?” Su Changfeng was as shocked as Tang Qiulu was when she first heard about it.

Because Su Changfeng had also concluded, based on the ambiguous relationship between Li Chen and the bridal shop owner, that Li Chen was likely a philanderer, it seemed natural to him that Li Chen would squander his money on those women. He didn’t expect it to be for this reason.
