The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

They all saw what just happened, and Zhou Wang’s attitude towards Su Changfeng was indeed quite unusual. If they could get closer to Su Changfeng, they would, to some extent, elevate their status in Zhou Wang’s mind.

Zhou Yunqi had clearly already started drawing in Su Changfeng, so naturally, the others couldn’t lag behind and had to seize the opportunity to foster a good relationship with Su Changfeng.

”I still have something to do later, so I’ll head back first.” Su Changfeng said.

”Alright, let me see you out.” Zhou Yunqi quickly escorted Su Changfeng out, and Su Changfeng also mentioned that they’d have the chance to meet again the day after tomorrow.

What he referred to as the day after tomorrow was actually the annual business gathering in the Capital City. Although such gatherings were a bit low-class for the three major families and they hadn’t attended before, since Su Changfeng mentioned it, he was indirectly telling them that they must attend the business meeting the day after tomorrow. There must be something noteworthy to observe.

To the Ye Family, Su Changfeng was deemed a useless nobody who couldn’t be shown in the light. Naturally, they couldn’t have imagined that Su Changfeng was now completely different. Zhou Yunqi also understood the role he might play if he went, but he didn’t mind lending a hand to Su Changfeng. Besides, he was curious about the expressions of the Ye Family members when they found out Su Changfeng was at the business meeting.

Meanwhile, in Zhou Wang’s study.

Zhou Wang directly asked the elder, ”Cheng Qing, we’ve known each other for so long, and it’s the first time I’ve seen you so flustered. What’s going on?”

Cheng Qing’s smile was rather bitter. As a man immersed in martial arts every day, believing in the absolute logic of fists, there wasn’t much he couldn’t endure.

But just now, after Su Changfeng said those words, Cheng Qing felt fear, a fear that sprang from his bones.

Cheng Qing knew that with his skills, he was considered formidable in the eyes of ordinary people, but in front of Tuo Shi, his skills were not worth mentioning at all.

It was undoubtedly a case of showing off in front of an expert and bringing humiliation upon himself.

”That young man’s background is absolutely beyond your imagination.” Cheng Qing said.

”The reason I made such a concession was that I trusted you, so you’d better not betray this trust of mine.” Zhou Wang said.

If Su Changfeng’s strength and background weren’t enough to threaten him, then there was no need for him to make such a concession.

In fact, the more formidable Su Changfeng turned out to be, the more pleased Zhou Wang would be.

It cannot be denied that making such a concession was not something Zhou Wang hadn’t considered seriously. After all, having immersed himself in the business world for years, he naturally wouldn’t do something that compromised his own interests.

In his bones, he was a businessman, and weighing pros and cons was an instinctive act. Therefore, the more capable Su Changfeng was, the more benefits he could reap from him.

”Tuo Shi, Heavenly Level, he only said this one sentence. Though it’s just a few simple words, the power it represents is unimaginable.” Cheng Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but frown. He knew little about Tuo Shi, only that it existed outside the secular world and that its members were all highly skilled, with ranks within, and the most formidable were the Heavenly Level experts.

But Su Changfeng was just a young kid. How could he be related to Tuo Shi, let alone be a Heavenly Level expert?

”Are you sure you didn’t mishear? At such a young age, he became a member of Tuo Shi and even became a Heavenly Level expert of Tuo Shi?” Zhou Wang’s voice was filled with astonishment.

”On this point, I can’t figure it out either.” Cheng Qing couldn’t help but sigh. He really didn’t know how Su Changfeng joined Tuo Shi and became the most formidable Heavenly Level expert.

But strength doesn’t lie. The move Su Changfeng made before was something he couldn’t deny.

He only acted against Zhou Yunqi, and even though the battle ended quickly and Su Changfeng’s full strength wasn’t fully displayed, Cheng Qing believed that even if he had intervened, the outcome would have been the same.

”So, you’re saying that up till now you still don’t know his true identity, all relying on that one sentence?” Zhou Wang said discontentedly.

”Yes, I really don’t know his true identity, but there’s one thing I’m very sure of, if he wanted to kill me, it would require almost no effort.” Cheng Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang felt a storm surge within his heart, and the discontent on his face vanished in an instant.

After all, all these years, he had lived under Cheng Qing’s protection. He never expected Cheng Qing to say such a thing, it was truly unexpected for him.

If Su Changfeng really was so formidable, then even if he wasn’t a Heavenly Level expert of Tuo Shi, he would still be entirely worth Zhou Wang befriending.

Zhou Wang always adhered to a principle of profit above all when it came to friendships, so in this situation, he could overlook Su Changfeng’s age. Even if it meant lowering his status to become friends with Su Changfeng, it was not out of the question.

”I never thought this little guy, despite his young age, had such skills. But I’m curious, given his formidable strength, why is he still rumored to be a useless person?” Zhou Wang said with a frown. If Su Changfeng were in the Zhou Family, he certainly would have nurtured him well. But the Ye Family abandoned such a good talent. He couldn’t figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

”Actually, regarding this matter, I had heard people mention it before.” Cheng Qing sighed; he also found it quite absurd when he had first heard it.

Being martial arts masters, Cheng Qing had a good personal relationship with Huo Tian. So when they met, they would chat, and he learned about Su Changfeng’s situation from Huo Tian.

Originally, Cheng Qing didn’t feel there was anything wrong. After all, no matter what, Shangguan Feihong did things this way to groom the next Family Head for the Ye Family. So in the end, it didn’t really matter who took that position.

But now Cheng Qing thought entirely differently. After all, Su Changfeng was far superior to Ye Weijun. Shangguan Feihong’s choice was undoubtedly very foolish.

”So what exactly happened?” Zhou Wang asked curiously.

”Su Changfeng actually has a brother of the same mother, named Ye Weijun. Back then, Shangguan Feihong sought someone to perform a divination, which indicated Ye Weijun has the face of an emperor. The Ye Family’s future depended on Ye Weijun, and only he could lead the Ye Family to a better position and a brighter future.

Shangguan Feihong believed this so much that he pampered Ye Weijun from a young age. In contrast, he looked down on Su Changfeng, who seemed to have no benefits for the family. Over time, everyone knew the Ye Family had a wasteful young master.” Cheng Qing said.

Zhou Wang, upon hearing this, froze for a moment and then couldn’t help but laugh. The reason was indeed quite absurd. He hadn’t expected Shangguan Feihong to believe it so steadfastly. But in this way, it was actually a good thing for him. If it weren’t for Su Changfeng suffering these things in the Ye Family, how could he have possibly befriended Su Changfeng?
