The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 317: Chapter 318: Not Allowed to Enter the Room

Many things Tang Qiulu didn’t understand, but now if someone says Su Changfeng knows how to play Go, it doesn’t seem strange at all.

When will you truly let me understand you?

Lin Qingmeng stood up and approached the Go board. Even though she couldn’t comprehend the situation on the board, she could sense Yue Qingshan’s growing tension.

Yue Qingshan’s right hand kept gently tapping her index finger with her thumb, a habit that only appeared when she was extremely nervous.

Lin Qingmeng glanced at Su Changfeng but quickly looked away.

Su Changfeng, who was focused seriously, exuded a mesmerizing aura, and to Lin Qingmeng who inherently liked Su Changfeng, it was like a poison that penetrated deep into one’s bowels.

However, Lin Qingmeng was aware of the boundaries between herself and Su Changfeng. He was also her good friend’s husband, and even if she truly liked him, these feelings could only be kept inside her heart.

After Su Changfeng placed the last piece, the match was over.

Yue Qingshan sighed and said, “I thought among us young people in the competition there would be no match for me, but I never expected you to be so formidable. I hope I’m not up against you in the preliminaries.”

Su Changfeng smiled and said, “This Go competition means nothing to me. If not for Qiulu, I wouldn’t have even bothered to attend.”

Yue Qingshan subconsciously raised her eyebrows. Since she returned to Hai City, she had heard of Su Changfeng’s notorious reputation, but now this Su Changfeng was obviously different from the rumors outside.

His entire aura was completely different. No matter how she looked at it, there wasn’t a hint of cowardly behavior in Su Changfeng, and she also sensed that he possessed a strategic demeanor.

People like him are only considered cowards by those idiots who know nothing and just buy into rumors.

“Don’t be discouraged, Qingshan, this guy just got lucky today. Besides, you underestimated the enemy from the beginning,” Lin Qingmeng encouraged Yue Qingshan, not forgetting to jab at Su Changfeng.

Because doing so was the only way to slightly reduce her feelings for Su Changfeng, but this behavior could only deceive herself.

But all this was of no concern to Su Changfeng. Right now, he was looking at Tang Qiulu, seemingly unable to wait for her to fulfill her promise.

Tang Qiulu’s cheeks blushed slightly, unable to meet Su Changfeng’s eyes at this moment.

In fact, in Tang Qiulu’s heart, she also hoped Su Changfeng would win, but she just wasn’t ready to face that thought yet.

Originally, he thought he could savor the taste of lipstick tonight, but Lin Qingmeng’s words left Su Changfeng speechless.

“The three of us sisters are going to have a long talk tonight; don’t disturb us,” Lin Qingmeng said.

This meant that Su Changfeng wouldn’t even have a chance to return to the room, leaving him helpless.

But seeing as the three sisters hadn’t seen each other for a long time, Su Changfeng couldn’t stop them from reminiscing.

Since there was plenty of time, Su Changfeng wasn’t afraid that Tang Qiulu would go back on her word.

That night, as Su Changfeng was about to sleep, Dao Jiu called him.

“Brother Changfeng, your friend has already been taken by the people from the Purgatory,” Dao Jiu said.

“So soon?” Su Changfeng asked in surprise, because it was previously mentioned that the Pangolin and the others would be sent to a designated location, and Su Changfeng hadn’t expected them to be taken tonight.

“The methods those people operate with aren’t easy for ordinary people to understand, but since they’ve been taken, I guess they’ve been brought to the Purgatory,” Dao Jiu said.

Listening to the noise on the other end of the phone, Dao Jiu was probably at the Boxing Arena. Now that the men have been taken by the Purgatory, there wasn’t much he could do.

“Alright, then carry on with what you’re doing,” Su Changfeng said.

After hanging up the phone, Su Changfeng couldn’t fall asleep. The Purgatory Prison had ties to Su Qingtian, and even though Su Changfeng usually maintained a calm demeanor, this issue left him restless.

Ji Hong’s previous words echoed constantly in Su Changfeng’s mind, rekindling his intense hope that Su Qingtian was still alive.

Even though this hope was incredibly slim, Su Changfeng believed that perhaps his grandfather was indeed held somewhere, unable to show himself, hence his absence.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. As long as you’re still in this world, no matter where you are, I’ll find a way to rescue you.”

“Pangolin, don’t let me down. If you can find my grandfather, I, Su Changfeng, will ensure your life is incredibly glorious. I’ll keep my word.”

“Grandfather, I miss you a lot.”

Lying in bed, Su Changfeng rarely showed this vulnerable side, now with tears hanging by the corners of his eyes.

In Su Changfeng’s view, his childhood was filled with unhappiness and shadows, but it was only when Su Qingtian was still in the Su Family that he understood what a home felt like.

Su Changfeng still remembered that Su Qingtian once said that only Su Changfeng could shoulder the responsibility of the Su Family. Back then, Su Changfeng didn’t understand why his grandfather wanted to place the burden of the Su Family on him.

However, an obsession formed in his heart. Since his grandfather said so, he would absolutely make it happen.

In Su Changfeng’s eyes, he could fail anyone but not Su Qingtian and Tang Qiulu.

The next morning at 6 o’clock, after getting up, Tang Qiulu was still sound asleep in the room. Except for when it rained or thundered, Tang Qiulu had never missed her morning runs.

But judging by the situation, it was obvious they had talked all night yesterday. Su Changfeng decided not to disturb them, letting these girls sleep a little longer, and he went out alone.

At around 6 in the morning on Xianwu Mountain, it is undoubtedly the location in Hai City with the best air quality. However, the people who live on Xianwu Mountain are generally wealthy; they have their own gyms, so in the early morning, apart from Su Changfeng and Tang Qiulu, there was hardly anyone else exercising.

But this time, after reaching the mountaintop, Su Changfeng saw an elderly man and a young girl there.

However, seeing these two there amused Su Changfeng because they didn’t live on Xianwu Mountain at all, yet they were here now, so their intentions were quite clear.

“Grandpa, it seems like Su Changfeng is coming over.” Gu Qing’er, who was imitating Gu Changsheng’s Tai Chi, caught a glimpse of someone with the corner of her eye but dared not look directly, choosing instead to whisper to Gu Changsheng.

And Gu Changsheng, who had already prepared himself mentally, said, “Just keep practicing with Grandpa and act as if you haven’t seen anyone.”

“Alright,” Gu Qing’er nodded.

Seeing the two of them pretending here, Chang Feng lightly coughed and approached the grandfather-granddaughter duo.

“Ah, Su Changfeng, what a coincidence. Why are you out here exercising so early too?” With Su Changfeng approaching, Gu Changsheng had no choice but to drop the pretense and addressed Su Changfeng with a face full of feigned surprise.
