The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 671: Chapter 672: The Gu Family’s Choice

Gu Changsheng shook his head helplessly and said, ”Whether a miracle will occur, I’m not sure, because nothing is absolute. But you should know how strong the person around Ye Chenwen is. In terms of finances, Su Changfeng significantly lags behind Ye Chenwen, as you know, they simply can’t be compared. If he can’t win even in terms of strength, in your eyes, what does Su Changfeng have left to win with? Are we to hope that a lightning bolt will strike Ye Chenwen from the sky?”

A miracle?

Gu Qingwen smiled bitterly, the idea of a miracle happening seemed unrealistic.

”There’s no place left in Jiang City for the Gu Family, it seems we should leave Jiang City,” Gu Qingwen said, feeling drained. Even though leaving Jiang City might present an opportunity for a comeback, Jiang City has been their home since childhood, and the sudden departure was something Gu Qingwen couldn’t accept.

”Let’s wait a little longer,” Gu Changsheng said.

Gu Qingwen looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion and asked, ”Dad, do you still believe in Su Changfeng, think he can create a miracle? But this is not something that’s easy to achieve.”

”I believe in Su Changfeng,” Gu Qing’er said from the staircase.

As Gu Qing’er approached them resolutely, Gu Qingwen asked, ”Why haven’t you gone to rest?”

Gu Qing’er didn’t answer Gu Qingwen’s question and said, ”I, Gu Qing’er, believe in my brother; he will definitely defeat Ye Chenwen.”

Gu Qingwen smiled. Previously, when Gu Qing’er called Su Changfeng brother, he thought it was a good thing because Su Changfeng could bring many benefits to the Gu Family. Their bond might be useful someday in the future.

But now, Gu Qingwen thought it was a big joke.

”Don’t call him brother anymore. Perhaps starting tonight, there won’t be Su Changfeng in the world,” Gu Qingwen said.

Gu Qing’er was very attached to Gu Changsheng, but she was afraid of Gu Qingwen, especially when he was serious. She was cautious even in her breathing.

This time, however, Gu Qing’er’s expression was particularly determined, ”Dad, I insist on calling Su Changfeng brother; I’ll call him this way my whole life. You may not trust my brother, but I do.”

”You...” Gu Qingwen pointed at Gu Qing’er, momentarily speechless, turned to Gu Changsheng and said, ”Dad, you know what consequences might arise if we don’t leave quickly. In Jiang City, many are eyeing us, and if we wait for the situation to stabilize, leaving won’t be easy.”

Gu Qingwen’s concerns were very clear to Gu Changsheng. They had not been strangers in Jiang City, and the Gu Family had suppressed many families or groups.

Even though the Gu Family has withdrawn from Jiang City’s business circles, the Ye Family hasn’t let go of the lucrative Jiang City market. The interests the Gu Family currently holds are still in their hands. But once the M Country Ye Family departs, Jiang City would surely fall into chaos, and the puppet chosen by the Ye Family would undoubtedly target the Gu Family first.

Yet, leaving like this wasn’t something Gu Changsheng could easily accept.

He was already old, unable to fight any longer, and if he left, he might never return to Jiang City.

Gu Changsheng adjusted his mindset and said calmly, ”I’m willing to take this risk.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingwen lowered his head. Although he wanted to leave Jiang City right away, if Gu Changsheng intended to stay, he had no choice but to obey.

”I hope Su Changfeng lives up to your trust,” Gu Qingwen said helplessly.

”Dad, Su Changfeng is my brother; he surely won’t lose,” Gu Qing’er said.

Gu Qingwen shook his head helplessly. He used to be very pleased with the relationship between Su Changfeng and Gu Qing’er, but now, he pretended not to hear Gu Qing’er’s words because he viewed Su Changfeng as unnecessary to cater to anymore.

”Then I’ll go back and rest,” Gu Qingwen said and headed towards his room.

Gu Qing’er sat beside Gu Changsheng, holding his hand.

Gu Changsheng could feel Gu Qing’er’s hand trembling slightly, he smiled affectionately and said, ”Don’t worry, he’s experienced so many ups and downs since childhood. I believe he can get through this.”

”Tell me honestly, Grandpa, what are his chances of winning?” Gu Qing’er asked.

”In terms of the current situation, there’s no chance,” Gu Changsheng replied succinctly. It was a straightforward issue not worth pondering. Ye Chenwen is the current Family Head of the M Country Ye Family, and he has a powerful bodyguard. From any perspective, Su Changfeng has no advantage.

Hearing these words, Gu Qing’er’s tears fell like broken pearls, streaming down her face as she cried sorrowfully.

Gu Changsheng patted Gu Qing’er’s shoulder. Although Gu Qing’er currently considers Su Changfeng her brother, Gu Changsheng also understood that this silly girl still harbors feelings for Su Changfeng.

When Su Changfeng appeared, the first thing Ye Chenwen wanted Su Changfeng to do was to kneel immediately.

”In this world, only my grandfather and my master deserve my kneeling; no one else is qualified,” Su Changfeng said, staring straight at Ye Chenwen, aware that this was a deliberate humiliation, but this was a humiliation he refused to accept.

Ye Chenwen laughed and said, ”Why be so stubborn? I haven’t given you a choice. It’s about doing whatever I demand.”

As soon as Ye Chenwen’s words fell, without needing a command, Ye Luochen walked over to Shen Hanxue and grabbed her neck with one hand, lifting her up single-handedly.

Seeing this, Su Changfeng clenched his fists instantly.

”You have 30 seconds to think. This will be the longest 30 seconds of your life,” Ye Chenwen said.

Shen Hanxue grasped Ye Luochen’s hand with both hands, continuously struggling, but she didn’t look at Su Changfeng, nor did her eyes reveal fear towards death, indicating she didn’t want Su Changfeng to kneel for her.

”Release her,” Su Changfeng said through clenched teeth, ”Attacking her like this, she’s just a weak woman. Does that even make you a man?”

”To achieve a goal, any means can be used. What others see is only your success, no one cares how you succeed. You’re judged by your achievements, have you heard this saying?” Ye Chenwen said.

Time ticked away, and Shen Hanxue’s face gradually turned redder, with her lips slowly starting to turn purple, showing apparent signs of oxygen deprivation.
