The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 883: Chapter 882: Layers of Mystery

However, at this moment, they still maintained a wait-and-see attitude, not having decided which side to take. After all, Ye Litian was also a legendary figure, and if they chose the wrong side and provoked Ye Litian, they would face dire consequences.

Therefore, they did not align themselves as firmly as An Shiwen did, coming over to curry favor with Su Changfeng. They were still observing from the sidelines. More importantly, An Shiwen knew far more insider information than they did, allowing for better judgment of the situation.

“A plan to curry favor with me?” Su Changfeng said jokingly, then added, “Are they being that cautious? Even holding a family meeting to discuss these things?”

“Naturally, they have to be this cautious,” An Shiwen said with a serious expression, as he shared the same feelings, then continued, “Brother Changfeng, you’ve been recovering these past few days and might not be aware of what’s happening outside. After the coffin incident last time, your reputation in this realm has slightly surpassed Ye Litian’s. This is a big deal for them, so they’ve been privately discussing plans. From what I know, there are several families worried that one plan may not be enough, so they’ve carefully designed multiple plans just to win your favor.”

Su Changfeng, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but laugh, feeling that An Shiwen was exaggerating; it shouldn’t have reached such an extent.

Actually, what An Shiwen said was an understatement. The major families outside were hundreds of times more anxious than An Shiwen described. Su Changfeng underestimated his current influence and naturally underestimated the efforts these families put in to secure their slice of the pie.

After all, if Ye Litian were suddenly defeated, it would mean the collapse of the Ye Family in an instant; Ye Litian’s era would be over, and major changes would occur in the entire region. Those who used to be closely associated with Ye Litian would likely meet unfavorable ends. To quickly rise to power or at least protect their interests, they would need a big tree to rely on, which would be Su Changfeng. Therefore, trying every possible way to curry favor with Su Changfeng was only natural.

“Brother Changfeng, I’m being absolutely truthful, not exaggerating a bit,” seeing that Su Changfeng wasn’t quite convinced, An Shiwen hurriedly explained, “Brother Changfeng, if you don’t believe me, I can call a few members of the major families right now for you to ask them personally.”

“There’s no need for that, just take me to the Ye Family,” Su Changfeng said calmly.

Hearing Su Changfeng suddenly mention going to the Ye Family, An Shiwen suddenly got excited, his entire being looking radiant and cheerful, he said, “Brother Changfeng, are you going to confront that old guy Ye Litian now? But your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

Looking at Su Changfeng limping like this now, how could he be seeking trouble with Ye Litian? He was heading to the Ye Family Villa to see An Yufei, wanting to personally ask why An Yufei risked his life to save him.

“Oh dear, look at my brain, I forgot that old guy Ye Litian isn’t at the Ye Family right now. Even if Brother Changfeng went, he wouldn’t find him,” An Shiwen suddenly remembered Ye Litian’s recent outing, feeling a bit disappointed as he told Su Changfeng.

Upon hearing this news, Su Changfeng frowned slightly, wondering if Ye Litian feared he would recover and cause him trouble, so fled quickly? But this seemed unlikely!

Even though Su Changfeng hadn’t known Ye Litian for long, he understood his personality. Being such an arrogant and pretentious person, how could he run away? Wouldn’t this ruin his lifelong reputation?

“Do you know where Ye Litian went?” Su Changfeng asked with a confused expression.

“The Capital City,” An Shiwen said straightforwardly, not daring to hide anything.

Upon hearing the words “Capital City,” Su Changfeng’s gaze suddenly turned cold, a chill emanating all around.

“Do you know what that old guy went to the Capital City for?” Su Changfeng asked coldly, with an undeniable aura in his voice.

An Yufei shivered as he saw Su Changfeng’s stance, stammering, “He, he seems to have gone to see Old Master Ye.”

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng’s murderous intent intensified, frowning deeply, wondering if Ye Litian felt he couldn’t beat him and went to the Capital City to trouble his grandfather, Ye Qingtian.

In the Capital City, it’s not only his grandfather Ye Qingtian; there’s also Chen Hanyue, who is equally important to him. If either of them suffers any harm, Su Changfeng would be overwhelmed with guilt. Of course, if Ye Litian dared to touch Ye Qingtian and Chen Hanyue, Su Changfeng wouldn’t care about any agreements and would make Ye Litian pay with blood, making him wish for death.

Thinking of this, Su Changfeng grabbed An Shiwen by the collar and said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier about that old guy’s whereabouts?”

Today, An Shiwen wore a shirt with a tie, and because Su Changfeng pulled it tight, his entire neck turned red, feeling like he couldn’t breathe.

“Brother Changfeng, Brother Changfeng… could you please let go of me? I’m struggling to breathe,” An Shiwen pleaded.

Seeing An Shiwen’s pained expression, Su Changfeng realized he was too agitated and let go of An Shiwen’s collar, as it wasn’t An Shiwen’s fault in this matter.

“Tell me all the information you have now,” Su Changfeng said coldly. Despite having agreed with Shangguan Sichen not to return to Jiang City temporarily, if Ye Litian dared to go to Jiang City and harm his grandfather, Ye Qingtian, and Chen Hanyue, he wouldn’t care about any agreements anymore.

“I only heard about Ye Litian going to the Capital City occasionally from my uncle, but that old guy went to the Capital City not to harm Old Master Ye, but to beg him, hoping he would speak kindly on his behalf and have you spare him once. So, Brother Changfeng, you don’t have to worry too much,” An Shiwen quickly finished speaking in one breath, enduring the pain, afraid that speaking too slowly would make Su Changfeng too anxious.

Hearing An Shiwen’s explanation, the frown on Su Changfeng’s face barely relaxed, though he still felt confused.

He really hadn’t expected that Ye Litian would go to his grandfather Ye Qingtian to plead. This was something Su Changfeng hadn’t anticipated at all.

After all, many years ago, it was Ye Litian who ousted his grandfather, Han Qingtian, from the Ye Family, then seized control of it. Someone so arrogant, who valued face so greatly, how could he run to the Capital City to plead with his grandfather, Ye Qingtian?
