The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 754: Chapter 755: The Triumphant Shangguan Xuanjie

In Shangguan Wenchuan’s room, tomorrow is the crucial moment to determine whether he can secure the position of the Shangguan Family Head. If Wang Fuwen can be taken away by Mu Tian, then there will be no one in the Shangguan Family to threaten his ascension to the family head position. Yet he can’t quite feel happy, instead, he is somewhat worried.

Wang Fuwen’s capabilities, whether they can catch Mu Tian’s eye, is still uncertain. If not, then he will miss this perfect opportunity, and might even have it snatched away by Shangguan Xuanjie due to his advantage, since Shangguan Xuanjie has Su Changfeng as a trump card. This is also why Shangguan Sichen spared Su Changfeng’s life.

“If you don’t succeed, do you know what kind of situation I’ll be facing?” Shangguan Wenchuan asked Wang Fuwen.

“Even if I don’t succeed, you wouldn’t want Su Changfeng to succeed, right?” Wang Fuwen said. He was particularly aware of Shangguan Wenchuan’s concerns. The threat from Shangguan Xuanjie originates from Su Changfeng, making Su Changfeng the critical point.

“If neither of you succeeds, Shangguan Xuanjie won’t be able to pose a threat to my position. But if he doesn’t succeed while Su Changfeng does, then I will definitely miss out on the Shangguan Family Head position. What do you think I should do at this point?” Shangguan Wenchuan inquired.

“But you don’t have the guts to kill Su Changfeng,” Wang Fuwen said nonchalantly.

Shangguan Wenchuan stood up abruptly, gritting his teeth and coldly said to Wang Fuwen, “Is this your attitude when talking to me now?”

“Now he’s idly in your Shangguan family’s dungeon; killing him is easy as pie,” Wang Fuwen was not the least bit intimidated by Shangguan Wenchuan. His ambition was not small, but regrettably, he lacked courage. This particular aspect made Wang Fuwen look down on him.

“My grandfather has prepared the plan carefully, no one can sabotage it. Since my grandfather has pinned all his hopes on Su Changfeng, no one can harm Su Changfeng at this critical moment. If I kill Su Changfeng, what do you think will happen to me?” Shangguan Wenchuan said helplessly.

He wanted to kill Su Changfeng, wished he could tear him to pieces. But what of it? He didn’t have the courage to do so. Doing this would anger Shangguan Sichen, and the consequences of Shangguan Sichen’s wrath were also beyond his courage to imagine.

Shangguan Wenchuan was clearer than anyone that Shangguan Sichen has been waiting for an opportunity tomorrow for a long time. In the current situation, whoever dares to ruin the plan will not be allowed by Shangguan Sichen to appear.

Now, Shangguan Sichen indeed values him more, but this type of regard is meaningless in such a major issue.

“There is another way; you don’t need to kill him, yet it can make him unable to perform his function. If I end up with the same outcome as Su Changfeng, then your and Shangguan Xuanjie’s status won’t change,” Wang Fuwen said.

“Quickly, what’s the method?” Shangguan Wenchuan asked.

“Su Changfeng is just an ordinary person; he has to eat, drink, and relieve himself, right?” Wang Fuwen said indifferently.

Shangguan Wenchuan’s eyes shifted, understanding Wang Fuwen’s meaning. However, the dungeon has surveillance. If he were to bring food and drink to Su Changfeng now, it would definitely raise Shangguan Sichen’s suspicion. Hence, this would need someone to take the fall.

Shangguan Wenchuan went directly to Shangguan Wan’er’s room, knowing many of Shangguan Wan’er’s dirty deeds, he had already manipulated her several times.

But after several knocks, there was no sound from inside the room. The angry Shangguan Wenchuan had no choice but to kick the door open.

The room was empty, making Shangguan Wenchuan so angry his teeth were grinding audibly.

“Shangguan Wan’er, oh Shangguan Wan’er, you really are such a slut, couldn’t wait to throw yourself at him,” Shangguan Wenchuan said hatefully.

Given his understanding of Shangguan Wan’er, currently, this bitch is definitely with Wu Wen. Thus, his plan to use Shangguan Wan’er falls through.

Even if he had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare ruin Wu Wen’s pleasure at this moment!

When Shangguan Wenchuan was about to return to his room, he happened to meet Shangguan Xuanjie.

“Brother, where have you been?” Shangguan Wenchuan asked.

“I was planning to take a look at Su Changfeng in the dungeon, but who would have thought, now grandpa has added more guards, and no one is allowed into the dungeon. It seems grandpa is particularly concerned about Su Changfeng’s safety,” Shangguan Xuanjie said with a smile.

Shangguan Wenchuan could guess the reason why Shangguan Sichen didn’t kill Su Changfeng; surely, Shangguan Xuanjie could see it too, hence, Shangguan Xuanjie was particularly smug inside at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wenchuan gritted his teeth. If things have truly turned out this way, then the plan he prepared would be unimplementable. No one can enter the dungeon, so how could he poison Su Changfeng then?

“Shangguan Wenchuan, why do you think grandpa arranged it this way? Could it be that grandpa believes only Su Changfeng can gain Mu Tian’s favor?” Shangguan Xuanjie said with a face full of smugness.

Shangguan Wenchuan let out a cold snort, saying, “Su Changfeng, that waste, is impossible to make it. Wang Fuwen alone is enough to catch Mu Tian’s eye.”

“Oh~ is that so?” Shangguan Xuanjie nodded understandingly and said, “Su Changfeng is indeed a waste, a waste who can kill with a single punch and make Wang Fuwen too scared to act. Truly, waste can’t get more wasteful than this.”

Shangguan Wenchuan was so angry his teeth were almost crushed. Shangguan Xuanjie’s words were clearly rebuking Wang Fuwen for being a waste in a veiled manner.

Yet, it was indeed a fact that he hadn’t let Wang Fuwen act back then, hence Shangguan Wenchuan now had no retort to Shangguan Xuanjie’s words.

“Humph, let’s wait and see. When I get the Family Head position, the first thing I’ll do is kick you out of the Shangguan Family,” Shangguan Wenchuan said viciously.

“My dear brother, don’t speak too absolutely now. Always leave room for retreat, after all. Who knows? The family head position might be mine. You say such things to me, if I bear a grudge, you won’t have good days to look forward to,” Shangguan Xuanjie said nonchalantly.

Shangguan Wenchuan was shaking with rage. If he continued talking to Shangguan Xuanjie, he feared losing control in his anger. So he turned and left abruptly.
