The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 906: Chapter 905: Drawing the Sword to Aid the Oppressed

The observant Su Changfeng naturally noticed this, but he didn’t directly pierce through the window paper. Doing so would not only hurt Lu Qingqing’s self-esteem, but more importantly, it wouldn’t achieve a good effect.

The best approach is to let Lu Qingqing have the courage to face anything, and this isn’t something that can be achieved in a short time or explained in a few words.

”Tell me about your family’s situation,” Su Changfeng deliberately asked Lu Qingqing.

When Lu Qingqing heard Su Changfeng mention her family, her expression suddenly turned cold, with an intense pain seemingly hidden within her eyes.

”In my memory, my family was quite well-off. My father was also in the real estate business, and we three lived a happy life together. But one day, after dinner, we went for a walk and someone drove under the influence, drunkenly steering the car onto the sidewalk. If at that moment my father hadn’t pushed me aside with all his strength, I would probably have died on the spot,” Lu Qingqing said painfully, as if she was transported back to that scene.

When Su Changfeng heard this from Lu Qingqing, an involuntary sympathy arose in his heart for the girl who, at such a young age, witnessed her parents leaving the world before her eyes, something cruel for anyone.

”I still remember my father’s forehead continually bleeding, my mother slowly losing her breath, and I used all my strength calling for help, hoping someone would save us, but the people around were cold and heartless, as if nothing had happened before their eyes. I desperately tried to save them, but found I couldn’t change anything, watching them die in front of me like that,” Lu Qingqing spoke of those painful memories, tears slipping out unconsciously.

Seeing Lu Qingqing struggling in her painful memories, Su Changfeng gently held her hand, wanting to give her a bit of warmth and let her feel the kindness in this world.

Lu Qingqing’s hand suddenly felt the warmth, a warmth that made her not want to push this man in front of her away, and she continued speaking courageously, ”Later, the ambulance finally came, but before my parents reached the hospital, they had already stopped breathing. By the next morning, the murderer showed up, but he didn’t show any guilt, shamelessly offering me money and other material compensation. How could I agree to that? I resolutely refused him, but it didn’t end there. The murderer’s son came looking for me, not to offer money this time but to threaten me, saying if I dared speak out about this, he’d have someone kill me, ensuring I’d never see the sun again.”

As Lu Qingqing spoke of these two people, her eyes filled with hatred. She gripped Su Changfeng’s hand even tighter.

”Hearing that, I was terrified, not daring to sleep at night or go out during the day, fearing he would really kill me. I felt so hopeless, not knowing what to do. Yet, he didn’t stop threatening me, and I was mentally and physically exhausted. I had no choice but to agree to settle privately. But when that beastly-faced son appeared in front of me, he made an outrageous demand: he wanted me as his woman. If I didn’t agree, he wouldn’t give me a penny. Even though I was young and didn’t understand much back then, I refused. He walked away with the money, telling me to contact him if I wanted it.”

Listening to Lu Qingqing’s story, the usually gentle Su Changfeng frowned deeply, with an air of strong hostility surrounding him.

”Qingqing, look, breakfast is ready. Let’s eat first, and talk about other things later,” Su Changfeng said, controlling his temper.

Having just recounted her sad story, Lu Qingqing had no appetite for breakfast, her mind occupied solely with thoughts of revenge.

”Brother Changfeng, I really don’t want to be around those thugs, but heaven hasn’t given me the choice!” Lu Qingqing said helplessly.

”You need to eat first; only when you’re full and strong can you seek revenge. Don’t you think?” Su Changfeng kindly advised.

Indeed, as the saying goes, food is iron and rice is steel, only when one’s had their fill can they have the strength to seek revenge; otherwise, it’s just talk.

Suddenly, Lu Qingqing looked up at Su Changfeng, her eyes full of expectation, and asked, ”Brother Changfeng, are you willing to help me find them and avenge me?”

”Well, then, let me step in for justice once,” Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Qingqing was stunned. She couldn’t imagine it. She originally followed Su Changfeng with the intention of trying her luck, never truly believing he’d actually extend a helping hand.

After all, Lu Qingqing saw Su Changfeng as extremely wealthy, beyond her understanding of wealth. She was well aware that there was no real connection between them, making it hard to believe he’d be easily convinced to help, which was why Lu Qingqing was so moved.

”Alright, put away your touched little expression, or else breakfast will get cold. You better behave, or I might regret it!” Su Changfeng teased.

Lu Qingqing smiled happily and hurriedly picked up her chopsticks to eat.

”Eat slowly, no one’s competing with you, take your time.” Su Changfeng remarked upon seeing Lu Qingqing gobbling down her food.

In one swift move, Lu Qingqing finished a bowl of porridge, all of it going into her stomach. Though the porridge was hot, in comparison to her hatred, drinking a bowl of hot porridge was nothing. As long as she could exact revenge, what she ate didn’t matter.

After breakfast, Su Changfeng asked, ”Do you know where your enemies are from?”

Hearing this, Lu Qingqing expressed surprise and joy, asking, ”Brother Changfeng, are you planning to help me seek revenge now?”

”What? Are you backing out at the last minute?” Su Changfeng glanced at Lu Qingqing and asked.

Lu Qingqing was genuinely startled as she had no psychological preparation. She knew Brother Changfeng would help, but wasn’t confident that Su Changfeng could genuinely assist her. After all, her enemies were wealthy and influential, and although she knew Su Changfeng’s family was also wealthy, going directly to seek revenge filled Lu Qingqing’s heart with uncertainty.
