The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 554: Chapter 555: Bewitching Wang Tianhu

”You always boast. Are you really that good at fighting?” Zhu Lie looked at Wang Tianhu with a face full of doubt.

Wang Tianhu’s mind was peculiar, he didn’t feel that Zhu Lie was deliberately provoking him. He raised his fist and said threateningly, ”You don’t believe me? Do you want to spar with me? I’m just worried I might accidentally kill you, then Brother Canghai would blame me.”

Zhu Lie quickly stepped back. If Wang Tianhu suddenly punched him, he would be in trouble.

After retreating a bit, Zhu Lie said, ”Even if you can beat me, it doesn’t matter; you need to defeat Canghai’s enemy. Do you have the guts to try?”

”Who’s afraid of whom? Where is that person? I want to see how powerful they really are,” Wang Tianhu said.

This was going smoother than Zhu Lie anticipated, but he knew it was because Wang Tianhu was simple-minded, making him easy to provoke.

Feeling a tinge of guilt, Zhu Lie thought about how he could use Wang Tianhu to gauge Tian Chen’s strength, which made the guilt disappear.

”Golden City Hotel, but you don’t need to do this. If you’re not his match...”

Before Zhu Lie could finish, Wang Tianhu interrupted, ”Get someone to take me there; I’m not familiar with the way.”

”Are you sure you want to go? If you die at the Golden City Hotel, no one will collect your body.” Zhu Lie warned.

Wang Tianhu smiled disdainfully. He didn’t believe there were many masters in the world. The old man he met on the mountain was probably one of the few, and he couldn’t be so unlucky as to encounter another master like that.

”Don’t worry, I can kill many with one punch, but no one alive can kill me,” Wang Tianhu said confidently.

”Alright.” Zhu Lie remarked and then had a subordinate lead Wang Tianhu to the Golden City Hotel.

After Wang Tianhu left, Zhu Lie let out a slow breath. He knew Su Changfeng would definitely blame him, but this was the only way to discover Tian Chen’s level of threat to Su Changfeng.

Of course, Zhu Lie hoped that Wang Tianhu could defeat Tian Chen. If so, when competing with Ye Group in the business world, Su Changfeng wouldn’t be so constrained.

In the urban village, Su Changfeng met Ma Qiang, who updated him on the latest developments.

The progress was generally smooth; even the opposing voices were suppressed by Ma Qiang’s funds, and confidentiality was meticulously maintained. As long as someone was willing to sell their property, Ma Qiang had people follow them all day to prevent information from leaking out.

With the support of Zhu Lie’s personnel, Ma Qiang found the task particularly easy.

”Has there been any movement from Ye Group recently?” Su Changfeng asked. The fact that Ma Qiang knew about Ye Group’s plans to develop the urban village indicated he had special connections, capable even of informing him of things Su Changfeng couldn’t investigate.

”Recently, Ye Group’s senior management has frequently met with our Jiang City officials, likely discussing matters related to developing the urban village,” Ma Qiang said.

Su Changfeng nodded. The more intensely Ye Group acted, the more it meant they valued the urban village, which made Su Changfeng’s actions even more significant.

”Remember to keep an eye on all Ye Group’s activities. If there’s a sudden situation, notify me immediately,” Su Changfeng instructed.

Purchasing the entire urban village was also a major task for Su Changfeng, and he didn’t want any setbacks.

”Brother Canghai, don’t worry. Now that you’ve given me this opportunity, I definitely won’t let anything go wrong,” Ma Qiang promised.

After leaving the urban village, Su Changfeng planned to do something today: arrange a meeting between Wang Tianhu and Qing Yin.

Qing Yin always disguised himself so well in front of him that no person or problem could be detected. But as Wang Tianhu was more formidable, perhaps through his eyes, he could discern any peculiarities in Qing Yin.

Despite his suspicions about Qing Yin, Su Changfeng had no tangible evidence. Thus, he had no way to force Qing Yin to reveal his true purpose. If Wang Tianhu could detect any issues with Qing Yin, Su Changfeng could expose Qing Yin’s disguised strength and clarify his intentions.

Upon returning to Charming, he only saw Zhu Lie and Feng Bin, but not Wang Tianhu, which puzzled Su Changfeng.

”Is Wang Tianhu in the restroom?” Su Changfeng inquired of Zhu Lie, knowing that Wang Tianhu wouldn’t leave Charming alone.

”I don’t know. I haven’t seen that guy for a long time. Maybe he went out to play,” Zhu Lie replied and then turned to Feng Bin to ask, ”Do you know where Wang Tianhu went?”

”I don’t know,” Feng Bin shook his head.

Su Changfeng frowned. The notion of going out to play could apply to anyone, but certainly not Wang Tianhu, whose understanding of contemporary society was like a blank slate. The buildings and streets outside Charming were like a maze to him; he couldn’t have just gone out alone.

”Going out to play? Impossible. Wang Tianhu isn’t familiar with the current surroundings; he wouldn’t go out alone,” Su Changfeng said calmly.

Zhu Lie tried to conceal his expression changes, but his eyebrows showed slight shifts. Su Changfeng noticed this and approached Zhu Lie.

”Where did Wang Tianhu go?” Su Changfeng asked coldly.

Feeling the pressure from Su Changfeng, Zhu Lie started sweating from his back, now experiencing what it felt like to stand on the opposing side of Su Changfeng.

”Canghai, he went to the Golden City Hotel,” Zhu Lie said, unable to withstand Su Changfeng’s pressure, resorting to the truth.

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng’s face filled with anger. Wang Tianhu wouldn’t go to the Golden City Hotel for no reason, and he didn’t even know where it was. Clearly, this was Zhu Lie’s doing!

”Zhu Lie, I told you, Wang Tianhu would be more valuable in the future. Why did you put him at risk?” Su Changfeng said helplessly.

”If you don’t understand Tian Chen’s strength, doing those things now is just as risky,” Zhu Lie retorted.

”By sending Wang Tianhu to probe Tian Chen’s strength, aren’t you pushing me into the fire pit?” Su Changfeng angrily said.

”If Wang Tianhu isn’t a match for Tian Chen, I’ll find a way to get you out of Jiang City. I’ll bear all the consequences alone. Only by living on can you avenge me in the future, and only if you’re alive can you continue to protect my siblings,” Zhu Lie stated.
