The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1081: Chapter 1080: Eliminating the Root

After all, it was her first visit to Beijing; Han Xue had originally planned to wander the streets and alleys to explore the city’s famous landmarks. However, Su Changfeng’s words made her very cautious, and she had no desire to go out.

It must be said, Han Xue is now more mature than before, and would not let her own mischievousness lead to Su Changfeng being threatened.

“Chang Feng, I will definitely keep a good eye on the two of them,” Huo Tian said to Su Changfeng.

“Grandpa Huo, it’s relatively safe at home, but as soon as you step out the door, things become complicated and the danger level increases. I don’t want Han Xue and Sunian to be in any more danger.” Su Changfeng said seriously.

Huo Tian understood Su Changfeng well, of course, he didn’t feel Su Changfeng didn’t trust him. The reason for such vigilance was fear that the Zhou Family might use some underhanded methods, catching people off guard. If Sunian and Han Xue were really kidnapped, it would be a severe matter.

“In that case, nobody should go out for this period of time. Just stay at home and relax a bit,” Ye Qingtian also spoke.

After dinner, the dining table was in a mess. Han Xue stayed behind to help Ji Hong clear the table. Naturally, Chen Qingqing also stayed. She was used to doing these things, so she was very efficient.

As for Su Changfeng, Ye Qingtian, and Huo Tian, the three of them were sitting in the yard.

Ye Qingtian looked at Su Changfeng. His grandson would certainly achieve greater things in the future. Ye Qingtian really wanted to see what Su Changfeng would accomplish, but he also sighed to himself, knowing he was nearing the end of his days; each day was numbered, and he might suddenly pass away, unable to witness it all.

“Chang Feng, do you have any plans regarding the Zhou Family?” Ye Qingtian asked Su Changfeng.

“Over the years, I’ve come to understand that once you decide to deal with someone, you must root them out entirely. Otherwise, troubles will keep resurfacing endlessly, adding more worries,” Su Changfeng said calmly.

Ye Qingtian nodded slightly, agreeing with Su Changfeng’s view. Sometimes, one needs to be ruthless. However, given the Zhou Family’s status, if one really wanted to destroy them completely, it would be hard to conceal in the open. So, Ye Qingtian said, “If you directly eliminate the Zhou Family, it will surely cause a great sensation, with many focusing their attention on us.”

“No matter how powerful a noble family is, there is always that guiding figure, the one who can decide the family’s fate. Without that person, the grand family would crumble. Currently, in the Zhou Family, Zhou Qifeng is their cornerstone, while Zhou Renjie, who has some capability, is poised to inherit the position of Family Head. If these two, grandfather and grandson, were to suddenly pass away, taking down the Zhou Family would be easy,” Su Changfeng said indifferently. Su Changfeng didn’t plan on killing every single member of the Zhou Family; after all, that would entail over a hundred lives and would be hard to justify or align with his reserved nature.

So, Su Changfeng’s focus was on Zhou Qifeng and Zhou Renjie.

“Had I not been old now, and your father died suddenly, our Ye Family wouldn’t have been bullied by such ruffians,” Ye Qingtian said.

“Grandfather, that’s not true. Outsiders believe our Ye Family only has Ye Weijun and think we’re vulnerable because he went to prison. That’s why they dare to act so recklessly, targeting us. But they don’t know that there’s still me, Su Changfeng, in the Ye Family. I won’t allow outsiders to bully us.” Su Changfeng said coldly.

Although Ye Qingtian is still alive, he will eventually pass away one day, and without a successor, the noble families of Beijing will become unrestrained.

“Entrusting the Ye Family to you gives me peace of mind,” Ye Qingtian said. Su Changfeng had never received the treatment of a young master in the Ye Family and was often bullied by servants. Yet, he harbored no resentment towards the Ye Family, only a desire to protect it, which surprised Ye Qingtian.

Because the past Su Changfeng wouldn’t have thought this way, even when Nangong Qianqiu hanged herself, he didn’t see himself as a member of the Ye Family, feeling like an outsider. But now with Ye Qingtian acknowledging him as his grandson, he is naturally part of the Ye Family and must safeguard all its interests.

“Grandfather, have you ever thought about bringing Ye Weijun back?” Su Changfeng pondered and finally asked.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng abruptly bring this up, today’s focus instinctively turned to look at Huo Tian, who happened to make eye contact with Ye Qingtian. The two shared a glance, both I filled with wonder.

Recently, Ji Hong at the villa in Jiang City, used the upcoming New Year as a reason to bring Ye Weijun back home to celebrate with the family. But Ye Qingtian flat-out rejected the proposal.

Ye Qingtian felt that a true man should take responsibility. Since Ye Weijun made mistakes in the past, he must pay the price for them. More importantly, as a member of the Ye Family, he attempted to pursue Su Changfeng’s wife, violating moral principles.

“No, I haven’t. Ye Weijun’s imprisonment is due to his own actions, and he must bear that consequence. He doesn’t deserve my help,” Ye Qingtian said coldly.

“Grandfather, I intend to visit Qin City for a few days after settling the Zhou Family matters,” Su Changfeng said thoughtfully.

“Why the sudden interest in going to Qin City?” Ye Qingtian asked, puzzled.

After thinking for a long time, Su Changfeng waved his hand and said, “I’m not sure myself.”

Hearing this response, Huo Tian and Ye Qingtian looked at each other in disbelief, unable to predict that Su Changfeng would reply this way.

The reason for Su Changfeng’s uncertainty was his inner indecision about handling the situation.

Ye Qingtian understood that Su Changfeng was in a difficult dilemma, but whatever decision Su Changfeng made, he would support him.

“It’s getting late now, and Han Xue is probably waiting for you in the room. You should go back,” Huo Tian said to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng nodded slightly, stood up from the chair, and departed.

“What are your thoughts on this matter?” Ye Qingtian asked Huo Tian after Su Changfeng left.

“From what I know of Chang Feng, he certainly won’t forgive Ye Weijun, but he seems intent on pulling him out of jail now. However, I have no clue what’s prompting Chang Feng to act this way,” Huo Tian said straightforwardly.
