The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Shen Yunlong, when the truth is finally revealed, you’ll understand just how outrageously wrong you’ve been.” With that, Wang Junyi turned and left.

Shen Yunlong stared at his back, eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched tight as he ground his teeth and said, ”Wang Junyi, sooner or later, I, Shen Yunlong, will stomp you viciously under my feet, and everything I’ve suffered, I’ll pay you back a hundredfold.”

Back at the Shen Family, Shen Yunlong went straight to Shen Rushuang’s room.

”Sister, I found Su Changfeng. I actually had a chance to kill him and avenge you, but Wang Junyi ruined it in the end. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to help you get your revenge.” Shen Yunlong said to Shen Rushuang.

Shen Rushuang looking for Su Changfeng was never about revenge. She just wanted to confirm the guess in her heart. Now, hearing Shen Yunlong say he wanted to kill Su Changfeng, Shen Rushuang’s face changed drastically.

”Brother, what exactly did you do? Don’t tell me you offended him again?” Shen Rushuang asked.

Offended? He’d only made a move to teach a piece of trash a lesson, how could that count as offending?

With a face full of contempt, Shen Yunlong said, ”Sister, it’s true the Shen Family isn’t what it used to be, but dealing with a piece of trash is still no problem. You can rest easy.”

The blood drained from Shen Rushuang’s face. The reason she wanted to find Su Changfeng was partly to confirm the suspicion in her heart, and partly because she hoped to ease the tension between the Shen Family and Su Changfeng. Shen Yunlong stepping in like this was clearly escalating the conflict between the Shen Family and Su Changfeng. Shen Rushuang naturally didn’t want to see this result.

”Brother, where is he right now? I have to see him with my own eyes.” Shen Rushuang said.

”Sister, just wait a bit. I’ll find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible. What’s so worth seeing about that kind of guy? Leave it to me.” Shen Yunlong said.

Shen Rushuang shook her head anxiously, her voice almost breaking into sobs. ”Brother, you don’t understand at all. I’m not looking for him to get rid of him.”

Shen Rushuang had indeed never told Shen Yunlong why she was looking for Su Changfeng. He had considered many possibilities and finally decided that Su Changfeng must have done something to wrong Shen Rushuang. Otherwise, why would Shen Rushuang lose her mind and be so obsessed with finding Su Changfeng?

”Su Changfeng is not as simple as we thought. The Shen Family must establish a good relationship with him.” Shen Rushuang said.

Shen Yunlong couldn’t help but frown. What did Shen Rushuang mean by that? Wasn’t Su Changfeng just a piece of trash? What kind of relationship did the Shen Family need to build with him?

”Sister, what’s wrong with you? That trash Su Changfeng, what about him is worth your attention?” Shen Yunlong only found it ridiculous.

”No, no, we were wrong. Maybe we were wrong from the very beginning. Brother, I think he’s been hiding his strength all along. Everything that’s happened lately might all be related to him. His strength very likely exceeds our imagination.” Shen Rushuang explained.

”Hiding his strength? That trash?” Shen Yunlong just found it funny when he heard this. What strength could Su Changfeng possibly have?

Shen Yunlong patted Shen Rushuang’s head pityingly. In his eyes, the reason Shen Rushuang was talking like this was mainly because she’d been too badly traumatized. Otherwise, how could she say such nonsense, even thinking Su Changfeng was some kind of expert?

”Sister, I know you’ve been sick lately. Hurry and get some rest. I won’t bother you anymore.” Shen Yunlong said.

Shen Rushuang looked at Shen Yunlong anxiously and said, ”Brother, please believe me, I’m really not lying to you. Where is Su Changfeng right now? I have to see him immediately, I have to find out the truth.”

”Enough, just be good and listen. As for everything else, your brother will handle it for you. If something happens to you, what is your brother supposed to do?” Shen Yunlong naturally didn’t believe Shen Rushuang’s words. After soothing her a few more times, he was about to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Rushuang hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Shen Yunlong’s arm. ”Brother, I’m not lying. Previously, when the Li and Wu Families brought a Fourth-rank Expert here to threaten me, it was Su Changfeng who took that person away. And after he was taken away, that man just mysteriously disappeared.”

”And Wang Junyi—before that, he brought over a dozen men outside the city to kill Su Changfeng, but in the end he was the only one who came back. And during the hunting tournament, at that time the only ones by my side were Su Changfeng and Wang Junyi. With Wang Junyi’s strength, how could he possibly tame the Seven-star Blood Lion? It was definitely Su Changfeng who helped him tame it.”

On the surface, these words sounded somewhat reasonable, but Shen Yunlong only felt that Shen Rushuang really was sick. If her speculation were true, wouldn’t that make Wang Junyi’s master Su Changfeng? Was that some kind of joke?

”You know very well Wang Junyi wants to kill Su Changfeng, but according to what you’re saying, Su Changfeng is also Wang Junyi’s master. Do you think that makes any sense?” Shen Yunlong said helplessly.

Indeed, said like that it didn’t add up. But Shen Rushuang knew there were definitely things she didn’t know about in all this. However, the possibility that Su Changfeng was an expert was extremely high.

Besides, without seeing Su Changfeng with her own eyes, without personally confirming her suspicions, Shen Rushuang absolutely wouldn’t give up.

”Brother, what’s really going on? Just let me see Su Changfeng and I’ll understand.” Shen Rushuang looked at him with a pleading face.

Shen Yunlong naturally didn’t want his little sister having more contact with that guy. Besides, he had seen it clearly today—there was a woman in that guy’s house. Shen Yunlong was afraid Shen Rushuang wouldn’t be able to take it if she saw her.

In his eyes, Shen Rushuang’s emotions were far too unstable right now. Shen Yunlong absolutely didn’t want her illness to get worse because of this matter.

”Watch over Miss. You absolutely can’t let her go out as she pleases. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.” Shen Yunlong said to the maid. Clearly, he was planning to confine Shen Rushuang.

The maid didn’t have the guts to refuse and could only nod in agreement.

After Shen Yunlong left, Shen Rushuang sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, as if all the strength had been drained from her.

”Miss, I actually think you’re really overthinking it. You still don’t know what kind of person Su Changfeng is? If he really had such powerful strength, why would he be willing to stay in the Shen Family and live under our noses?” the maid pursed her lips and said to Shen Rushuang.

But in Shen Rushuang’s current state, she’d already gone into a dead end and couldn’t get out. Unless she could confirm things with her own eyes, a few words from other people were completely useless to her.

”Go find out where exactly Su Changfeng is. I have to see him.” Shen Rushuang ordered the maid.

As Shen Rushuang’s personal maid, whatever Shen Rushuang told her to do, she naturally couldn’t refuse. But Shen Yunlong had just made himself very clear: he definitely wouldn’t allow Shen Rushuang to go see Su Changfeng in private.

”Miss, but the young master said you’re not allowed to go out. If you really leave, the young master will never spare me.” the maid said.

Shen Rushuang fixed the maid with a piercing stare, her tone icy cold. ”What, can I not command you anymore?”
