The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”If it’s not Wang Junyi, then it’s Wang Chongxing scheming behind our backs. He’s been suppressed by us for so many years, and probably harbors resentment.” After pondering for a moment, Patriarch Wu gravely instructed, ”Give the order to strengthen the guards during this period.”

Meanwhile, at the Shen Family.

When the news of Su Changfeng returning unscathed arrived, Shen Rushuang couldn’t help but widen her eyes. In her mind, this result was equally bewildering.

She understood better than anyone how deep Wang Junyi’s obsession with her was over the years, yet an unknown individual had beaten him to it, and Wang Junyi naturally couldn’t swallow this defeat.

This time, Su Changfeng’s outing was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wang Junyi, but for Su Changfeng to return so intact was simply unbelievable.

”Miss, Wang Junyi may have returned, but the dozen or so Second-rank Experts who went out with him have all vanished; this matter is truly peculiar.” The maid felt a bit puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Shen Rushuang’s heart suddenly started to race; with such a result, it seemed there was only one possibility left: the waste in their eyes, Su Changfeng, had killed those Second-rank Experts.

But, could it really be so? He’s just a waste, how could he have the capability to kill so many Second-rank Experts?

Out of nowhere, Shen Rushuang suddenly thought of that Fourth-rank Expert incident. Could it be that Su Changfeng wasn’t lying to her, and he really was the one who killed him?

At this moment, Shen Rushuang’s heart beat even faster. If it were true, it would greatly benefit their Shen Family!

However, without seeing it with her own eyes, Shen Rushuang naturally wouldn’t casually believe such a thing.

”Miss, Su Changfeng has returned.” At this moment, someone hurriedly walked in from outside, and Shen Rushuang didn’t delay any longer, heading straight outside.

Returning to his room, intending to have a good rest, Su Changfeng saw Shen Rushuang came in. He wasn’t particularly surprised to see her.

”You looking for me?” Su Changfeng asked.

”You actually came back alive, what’s the matter?” Shen Rushuang didn’t bother with politeness and asked directly.

”Shen Rushuang, regardless of what you say, we’re ostensibly husband and wife. Do you really wish for me to die that badly?” Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

”I don’t have time to waste words with you. Wang Junyi brought so many experts to deal with you, how did you return?” Shen Rushuang simply wanted to clarify the questions in her mind and her attitude was very assertive.

”Wang Junyi? The City Lord’s son? We have no ties; why would he target me?” Su Changfeng feigned ignorance.

Shen Rushuang’s face darkened. She obviously saw Su Changfeng dodging the issue; how could he not know Wang Junyi wanted to target him? Moreover, the maid had reminded him before; now he pretends he knows nothing, Shen Rushuang naturally wouldn’t be fooled.

”Su Changfeng, do you take me for a fool?” Shen Rushuang said through gritted teeth, visibly furious.

Yet, Su Changfeng appeared completely indifferent, saying, ”You understand clearly that Wang Junyi surely wouldn’t spare me. Now, given I’ve returned unharmed, it can only mean one thing: Wang Junyi didn’t do anything to me. Shen Rushuang, you’re so clever; surely you can figure out why?”

Wang Junyi went out with Su Changfeng, so they certainly met, and a confrontation was inevitable.

Shen Rushuang wasn’t stupid; she felt this matter wasn’t simple, and undoubtedly something unknown transpired.

”Could it be... did you kill those people?” Ultimately, Shen Rushuang asked the question she cared most about. In truth, she sought Su Changfeng for this very matter.

If Su Changfeng truly possessed such skill, her attitude towards him would have to change.

While she wouldn’t fall for the man, it would be a great asset to Shen Rushuang if the Shen Family could have such a talent.

Hearing this, Su Changfeng suddenly laughed and said, ”Shen Rushuang, if I recall correctly, haven’t you always thought I’m a waste? Since I’m a waste, what makes you think I could kill a dozen Second-rank Experts in one go? If you genuinely believe this, I’m rather pleased.”

Shen Rushuang clenched her fist; Su Changfeng’s words neither confirmed nor denied, clearly showing he had no intention of properly addressing her question.

”Su Changfeng, I will uncover your identity sooner or later!” After saying this, Shen Rushuang glared at him fiercely and left, sleeves flicked.

Su Changfeng curled his lips. Regarding Shen Rushuang’s statement, he wasn’t skeptical. This woman, domineering and powerful, would stop at nothing for her goals; since she said she would investigate him, she certainly would give it her all.

However, Su Changfeng wasn’t worried; in this completely unfamiliar Tianyuan Continent, he had no past, so no matter how impressive Shen Rushuang’s methods were, she wouldn’t discern his identity.

”This woman is only good-looking; compared to the gentle Han Xue, she’s far inferior.” Su Changfeng sighed, once again uncontrollably thinking of Shen Hanxue.

Unable to glean the wanted answer from Su Changfeng, Shen Rushuang felt a burning fire within and wished she could rip Su Changfeng apart.

The maid, trembling, followed behind, whispering, ”Miss, Master is returning tomorrow. It’s not worth ruining your health over that guy.”

Shen Rushuang took a deep breath, trying to quell the rage within, but with little success; she was still very angry.

Su Changfeng staying at the Shen Family, and she as the Shen Family’s heiress, couldn’t even handle such a waste; how could she succumb?

”Miss, why don’t we wait for the elder brother to return, and we can come up with a way to test Su Changfeng properly.” The maid cautiously proposed.

Shen Rushuang has a brother named Shen Yunlong, a Second-rank Expert. Although his skills aren’t particularly impressive, he’s doted on this sister since childhood. In fact, Wang Junyi’s schemes being overdue for so long owed much to Shen Yunlong.

This time, Shen Rushuang’s marriage made Shen Yunlong very reluctant, yet thinking it would rid Wang Junyi once and for all, he refrained from further objections.

To Shen Yunlong, Su Changfeng was a meaningless waste of space, existing only to be discarded without hesitation once no longer useful.

Shen Rushuang pondered a moment, then nodded, saying, ”Indeed, using Brother as a gauge, we might test his skills.”

The next day, the Shen Family was festively decked out; Su Changfeng watched the busy Shen Family servants with a befuddled expression.

”What’s going on? What are you all doing?” Su Changfeng casually grabbed someone, voicing his curiosity.
