The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 640: Chapter 641: Yue Qingshan is back again

After learning about Ye Chenwen’s actions in Beijing, the anger in Su Changfeng’s heart was imaginable, yet there was no way to vent it.

Ye Chenwen was the current Family Head of the M Country Ye Family, an opponent of such caliber that Su Changfeng simply couldn’t contend with at the moment. Su Changfeng was well aware of this, and according to the intel gathered by Zhu Lie’s subordinates, there was a bodyguard accompanying Ye Chenwen. Su Changfeng also believed that the bodyguard’s capabilities definitely surpassed Tian Chen’s, otherwise, how could he qualify to stay by Ye Chenwen’s side?

If one were stronger than Tian Chen, to what extent would they be powerful? It was beyond Su Changfeng’s imagination. Su Changfeng even thought that perhaps even Huo Tian wouldn’t be a match for that bodyguard.

Facing this issue, Su Changfeng undoubtedly felt like he was staring at a mountain peak piercing the sky, feeling a chilling sense of insurmountability just from looking at it.

Just then, there was a sudden sound of a key turning, and when the door opened, Yue Qingshan walked in, freezing Su Changfeng in place.

Wasn’t Yue Qingshan driven away by him? Why did she come back?

Now that Ye Chenwen had arrived in Jiang City, his situation was bound to become even more dangerous. If Yue Qingshan stayed with him, it was very likely she would be implicated and end up dead because of him.

”Why did you come back?” Su Changfeng asked Yue Qingshan upon regaining his composure, standing up.

”I got tired from shopping, if I don’t come back here, should I sleep on the streets?” Yue Qingshan looked as if it was the natural thing to do as she dragged her luggage back to her room.

Su Changfeng stood helplessly outside the room, watching as Yue Qingshan once again placed her clothes into the wardrobe.

”Do you know how dangerous my current situation is? Being with me will only make your situation even more dangerous,” said Su Changfeng.

Yue Qingshan looked unconcerned, saying, ”I also understand that in this life, it’s impossible for anything to happen between us, nor will you have any feelings for me. But if I could die with you, wouldn’t that be great? That way, in the next life, we can enter the cycle of reincarnation together and meet again. In a life without Han Xue, I’d do everything to make you like me.”

To what Yue Qingshan said, Su Changfeng wore a bitter smile on his face. He himself didn’t believe in any deity or god, not really thinking there was a next life.

If a person can’t strive to live more happily and longer in a single lifetime, then even if there is a next life, what’s the point?

Moreover, placing hope in such an absurd notion as the next life is surely the act of a fool.

”Wherever you go, I’ll follow you. So if you decide to leave, it’s no matter,” Yue Qingshan continued, clearly intending to stay with Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng sighed helplessly. Initially, he thought after Yue Qingshan left, they could draw a line, not expecting the situation to suddenly change, and Yue Qingshan to actually return with her luggage.

To drive Yue Qingshan away again, Su Changfeng felt a bit unwilling. Even if he couldn’t develop emotions for her or any relationship, as a woman, she had already disregarded her pride to return. How could Su Changfeng make her leave again?

”Aren’t you afraid of dying?” Su Changfeng asked.

”I am afraid, afraid I won’t be able to die with you.” Yue Qingshan said, looking into Su Changfeng’s eyes with utmost sincerity, unafraid of death itself.

”What’s so great about me, can’t I change?” Su Changfeng said with a bitter smile.

”You can’t change. No matter how you change, I’ll still like you,” Yue Qingshan said firmly. This wasn’t her first time confessing, but certainly the most direct.

After packing her suitcase, Yue Qingshan went into the kitchen, as usual, to cook for Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng returned to his room, sitting on the edge of the bed. If there really was a next life, he might be willing to make amends to Yue Qingshan for what he owed her in this life. But such a thing was impossible, right?

Suddenly, Su Changfeng remembered an item. Back in Beijing, when helping Wang Ling’er solve a problem, he’d obtained a peculiar artifact, which he brought to Jiang City, intending to study the mechanism hidden within.

However, so much time had passed, and he still hadn’t had the opportunity to investigate. The mentioning of reincarnation by Yue Qingshan suddenly reminded Su Changfeng of that item.

Taking out the box from the nightstand, the fragmented skull inside looked fake, yet felt real, bearing several cracked lines without shattering.

Holding it in his hand, Su Changfeng examined it for a long time without finding any clues. The skull was particularly small and extremely thin, making it unrealistic for a mechanism to be inside. But the strange occurrence he witnessed that day needed an explanation.

”Since it’s incomplete, there should be other parts in someone else’s possession, right?” Su Changfeng frowned and said while looking at the skull.

After a short while, Su Changfeng shook his head. This must be a crafted item meant to deceive others, unlikely to have other parts.

Gazing at his finger, Su Changfeng wanted to know how the skull operated, so he cut a small wound, letting some blood drip onto the skull.

The cracks in the skull glowed faintly red, absorbing the blood at an exceptionally fast pace, and soon enough, the blood was absorbed entirely.

”This thing certainly looks a bit intimidating, no wonder those guys believed in it,” Su Changfeng exclaimed with a face full of admiration.

If he also believed in ghosts and spirits, he would surely be frightened by such an occurrence. But Su Changfeng thought there were no such things as ghosts or spirits in the world, and the skull was merely a prop in his eyes. However, he couldn’t yet discern how its mechanism functioned.

”Looks like I need to find someone knowledgeable to ask about it,” Su Changfeng decided after putting the skull back, planning to consult an expert in high technology regarding it in the future. If this matter remained unresolved, without unraveling his curiosity, even in death, Su Changfeng assumed he wouldn’t rest in peace.

Not long after, Yue Qingshan knocked on the door, inviting Su Changfeng to eat.

This was one benefit of having Yue Qingshan stay: Su Changfeng didn’t have to cook personally but could eat delicious meals, without worrying about what to eat every day since Yue Qingshan prepared everything for him.

From this perspective, Yue Qingshan’s presence at home was indeed somewhat useful.

During the meal, Su Changfeng received a call from Zhu Lie.

”Canghai, your friend just doesn’t learn, huh? I’ve been informed he’s been locked up again, and it’s still for pursuing women. Do you plan to check it out?” Zhu Lie said with a large face of helplessness.

In today’s society, there are countless ways to meet women, yet Qing Yin insists on harassing respectable women. He’s been detained several times for it, hasn’t he thought of changing his approach?
