The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1038: Heading to Bin County

”Is that so? Why do you understand it this way?” Su Changfeng asked.

”If you truly hated someone to the core, you would probably say a lot of things, like cursing them to never be at peace after death or wishing they were better off dead. But today, in front of her tombstone, you talked about how the Ye Family would continue to develop under your leadership,” Han Xue explained. The reason Han Xue said this was because, in her opinion, the words Su Changfeng used during Nangong Qianqiu’s memorial reflected his true thoughts. It was undeniable that Su Changfeng did indeed harbor deep resentment toward Nangong Qianqiu, but their blood relationship was very real.

Hearing these words, Su Changfeng couldn’t help but frown slightly. Although he didn’t know how to refute Han Xue, he knew in his heart that this wasn’t what he truly thought.

At that moment, he recalled why he didn’t curse Nangong Qianqiu during the memorial service.

Unable to come up with a reason and unwilling to show it, he suddenly changed the subject and said, ”I’m planning to return to Bin County in the next couple of days.”

”Hmm? Why are you going back to Bin County?” Han Xue asked. Although Bin County was her hometown, there was nothing there worth Su Changfeng’s attachment.

”I have some things to handle there. Don’t worry, it’s not dangerous, and I’ll likely be back soon,” Su Changfeng explained.

Hearing that Su Changfeng was going back to Bin County, the recently cheerful Han Xue suddenly lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes as if they were about to fall the next moment.

When it came to Tuo Shi’s matters, Han Xue never formally questioned Su Changfeng and didn’t dare to pry too much because she was afraid—afraid that Su Changfeng might suddenly leave.

But now that Su Changfeng was preparing to go to Bin County, no matter how much she wished to avoid it, reality pulled her back.

”Chang Feng, are you going to Bin County to deal with potential threats to me before you leave?” Han Xue asked.

Su Changfeng was suddenly frozen in place. The truth was that his visit to Bin County did carry the intention of warning the Sun Family not to act out. He didn’t want them to come looking for Han Xue after he left Jiang City, whether due to Sun Mei or other matters.

To Su Changfeng, the Sun Family would do anything for their interests. If he didn’t give them a warning, they might end up doing things without any regard for consequences.

However, what Han Xue just said was not what Su Changfeng had in mind, and he didn’t want her worrying over it.

”You should still remember Chen Hai, right?” Su Changfeng asked.

”Of course, I remember. But what does that have to do with you going to Bin County?” Han Xue asked, puzzled. Chen Hai was from Bin County, and it was precisely because of him that the Sun family didn’t dare offend Su Changfeng. How could she not remember such an important person?

”Chen Hai went to the United States some time ago, and now with him not in Bin County, it’s probably a mess over there, so I’m planning to go check it out,” Su Changfeng said.

Han Xue knew well that this was just an excuse from Su Changfeng to keep her from worrying. After all, Bin County was an even smaller city than Jiang City. No matter how chaotic it was, he could send an underling to handle it; there was no need for Su Changfeng to go personally. However, she chose not to probe further, opting for a little ignorance.

”Alright, be careful about everything and come back soon. I’m waiting for you at home with Su Changfeng,” Han Xue said with a smile.

”I will definitely be back soon because I’m awaiting my reward,” Su Changfeng said, looking at Han Xue.

At the mention of a reward, Han Xue’s face flushed instantly. Despite being a mother now, she still blushed like an unmarried young lady when it came to these topics.

”I never said I’d give you any reward. Whether you come back or not is up to you,” Han Xue playfully feigned anger.

Su Changfeng was somewhat amused and exasperated; women are indeed fickle. Just a moment ago, she was reluctant to let him go, and now she dared him to leave.

Two days later, Su Changfeng embarked on his journey to Bin County.

Since Chen Hai left Bin County, he occasionally checked on it and didn’t entirely wash his hands of the place, as it was the foundation of his own success, holding emotional significance for him.

Chen Hai had long planned for unexpected contingencies, intending to lend Su Changfeng a hand should he ever leave Bin County abruptly.

Currently, Peng Xiaolei was mainly in charge of managing Bin County. He had been around Chen Hai for many years and could be considered Chen Hai’s right-hand man.

Under Peng Xiaolei’s management after Chen Hai’s departure, everything was in orderly fashion, with no major incidents occurring.

Despite having been by Chen Hai’s side for many years, Peng Xiaolei was not yet 30. He had a strong desire for success, and although he was arrogant, Peng Xiaolei had both traits.

Particularly for men, once they gain status and wealth, it’s hard not to lose oneself, especially with people flattering him from all sides. Peng Xiaolei was living lavishly, indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle with countless women around him daily, especially with no one like Chen Hai around to restrain him.

”Mr. Peng, I’ve found some beauties for you. They’re really pretty; I guarantee you’ll like them. Do you want to take a look?” Peng Xiaolei’s assistant said obsequiously in the office.

Peng Xiaolei grabbed the phone directly, looking at the photos of the beauties with growing excitement, his eyes gleaming, ”You have a pretty good eye. These beauties are just my type. Quickly prepare the car, and let’s go now.”

”Got it.”

The assistant hurried to the underground parking lot to get the car ready, waiting for Peng Xiaolei at the company entrance. However, a young man in a white shirt suddenly blocked the car.

”Are you blind? How dare you block President Peng’s car! Get lost right now!” Peng Xiaolei’s assistant scolded.

Now that Peng Xiaolei was managing Bin County, one could say Peng Xiaolei was the big boss there. Naturally, his assistant’s demeanor was arrogant, as in Bin County, who would dare to offend him? Of course, he wouldn’t care about someone who suddenly appeared like this.

Without another word, the assistant tried to forcefully shove Su Changfeng, but how could he budge him with his strength? In the end, the assistant failed to gain an advantage and was pushed back himself.

This made the usually arrogant assistant feel quite humiliated.
