The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1053: Heart-to-Heart Conversation

Whenever there’s something about his body that can’t be explained by science, Su Changfeng can’t help but think, is it that power inside his body? After all, he hasn’t done anything unusual recently and still eats the same food as before.

Just as Su Changfeng was about to call a car to send Zhu Lie and the others home, suddenly an old white-haired man also walked into this hot pot restaurant.

”Chang Feng, can you still drink with this old man for a while?”

”Grandpa Huo, why did you come here?” Su Changfeng stood up from his seat to welcome Huo Tian, even though he is now different from before. However, his attitude towards Huo Tian hasn’t changed; he remains respectful. To Su Changfeng, Huo Tian is also like a grandpa. When he was little, Huo Tian gave him familial warmth and taught him martial arts. Without Huo Tian, he might really be that coward people called him.

”Thinking about it, it’s been a long time since we drank together. In the future, if I want to drink with you again, I don’t know when I’ll get the chance.” Huo Tian said squinting his eyes.

Su Changfeng’s eyes widened in shock; he still couldn’t hide it from Huo Tian. From what he said, it’s clear that Huo Tian might have guessed that he would have to leave Jiang City soon.

”You can leave now.” Huo Tian instructed Xu Xiaoyong and the others.

However, both Xu Xiaoyong and the manager focused their gaze on Su Changfeng; if he didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t dare leave.

”You can go back first. If anything in the store goes missing, I’ll take responsibility.” Su Changfeng said blandly.

”President Ye, I’ll be outside, guarding the door. If you need any drinks or anything, just let me know.” Xu Xiaoyong hurriedly said. Even if Su Changfeng wanted everything in his store, he wouldn’t dare ask him for money. Besides, Su Changfeng is now worth billions; his small shop isn’t worth mentioning in his eyes.

The news of Su Changfeng eating hot pot at his restaurant tonight is definitely known by many big shots in Jiang City by now, and he might have a spot in Jiang City in the future.

After Xu Xiaoyong and the manager left, Huo Tian poured Su Changfeng a drink and said heartily, ”Come, let’s have a toast!”

Without saying a word, Su Changfeng took his glass and drank it all in one go.

”Chang Feng, who would’ve thought your drinking capacity has grown so much? Now even Grandpa Huo can’t keep up with you.” Huo Tian said with a smile. In the past, Su Changfeng had a poor tolerance for alcohol; after drinking less than half a bottle, he’d be drunk as a puddle of mud. But now, after drinking with Zhu Lie and the others till dawn, he still wasn’t drunk.

”Grandpa Huo, speaking of drinking, I think it might have a lot to do with the unknown power inside me.” Su Changfeng said seriously. He didn’t want to hide it from Huo Tian, who already knew. Su Changfeng was also very clear that Huo Tian would definitely not harm him, so he spoke frankly.

”Hmm, even though we’re not exactly sure why these changes are happening, it might really be because of its presence that you are stronger than before. Since it’s already a part of you, there’s no way to get it out. That must mean it’s fate, so let’s just let things run their course.” Huo Tian said.

Su Changfeng nodded slightly. Since discovering this unknown power inside him, he has always been uneasy because he doesn’t like the unpredictability of the unknown. It makes it difficult for him to decide what to do next. But now, after Huo Tian’s guidance, he has come to terms with it.

No matter why this power has come into his body, since it is now part of him, it is his own.

”Chang Feng, can you tell Grandpa what your plans are for the future?” Huo Tian asked with some concern. He came to see Su Changfeng so late because of this. After all, Su Changfeng would soon have to leave Jiang City and go to Tianyi. Huo Tian wanted to see how well-prepared Su Changfeng was!

In the past, Huo Tian would often interfere in some of Su Changfeng’s affairs because he was still young and hadn’t yet developed a proper worldview. If not corrected in time, he might go astray. Even though Su Changfeng’s mindset is now mature and he handles things with his approach, Huo Tian still wants to know his thoughts.

This is not about interfering with Su Changfeng but because Huo Tian truly treats him as a grandson.

”Grandpa Huo, to be honest, I’m not very confident about Tianyi. In fact, I’m a bit fearful of the unknown.” Su Changfeng said, lowering his head. This is the first time he talked to anyone about Tianyi, revealing his inner thoughts.

Tianyi is different from the mundane world; it might have all sorts of strange things. The future there is unpredictable, and it’s unrealistic for Su Changfeng to approach it with a normal mindset.

In this world, no matter who you are or how powerful, you are ultimately just a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things and will fear the future, not to mention that Su Changfeng still bears the responsibility of three lives.

”Are you worried you might not have the chance to return?” Huo Tian asked in a raspy voice.

”Yes, if anything happens to me, Han Xue will lose a husband, and Sunian, being so young, will lose a father. They both need my care.” Su Changfeng said, his eyes red.

Huo Tian poured himself another drink and said to Su Changfeng, ”Chang Feng, you must understand that to protect your life; besides using your wits, you need to strengthen yourself. When you’re powerful enough that no one can oppose you, you won’t just protect yourself but also Han Xue and Sunian.”

”Grandpa Huo, that day at the Hilton Hotel, when Yang Junming and I fought at the center of the lake, did you see how that elderly man suddenly appeared there?” Su Changfeng asked.

It wasn’t just Su Changfeng who was puzzled; Huo Tian was too. That day, all his focus was on Su Changfeng, so he didn’t notice how the old man got to the center of the lake.
