The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 528: Chapter 529: The Fearful Wu Feng

After Su Changfeng was sent into the guest room, Wu Feng also returned to his room. But even though the sky was slightly bright, he still didn’t have the slightest desire to sleep. The things Su Changfeng had just said seemed thoughtful, but in Wu Feng’s eyes, they felt more like commands.

This thought, once discovered by Su Changfeng, could be one of the reasons for Wu Feng’s betrayal, and it would cause some estrangement between them.

This collaboration with the Shangguan Family would likely elevate Wu Feng’s status in Beijing because of his connection with them, making it possible to break free from Su Changfeng like Su Changfeng had suggested.

Wu Feng had considered this idea before but lacked the courage to attempt it. He couldn’t determine what would happen after breaking away from Su Changfeng or whether the Shangguan Family would go all-out to protect him.

Wu Feng could never forget that night more than a decade ago, when a seemingly frail teenager stood before him with a blood-stained knife. This scene had deeply imprinted itself in Wu Feng’s mind, becoming unforgettable no matter what.

This was also why Wu Feng dared not betray Su Changfeng; he feared being killed by that knife and equally feared losing his insight due to greed.

”How could I be so afraid of a naive boy?” Wu Feng gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly, while the bright moonlight outside seemed to exude a desolate feeling, as if he were standing before Su Changfeng completely devoid of courage.

The next morning, Su Changfeng left the villa without notifying Wu Feng and encountered the same young security guard from last night at the villa district’s gate.

This time, the security guard was extremely respectful toward Su Changfeng and escorted him out the gate, only mumbling to himself when watching Su Changfeng walk away, ”Fortunately, he didn’t trouble him over last night’s incident, otherwise, he would’ve lost his job.”

After exiting the villa district gate, Su Changfeng called a taxi to head to the airport. He had nothing or no one else in Beijing that warranted his stay for an additional day. He must quickly return to Jiang City and find that person with Dao Jiu.

Ever since the incident with Chen Chen, Su Changfeng asked Dao Jiu to find an expert for him. Though Ma Tian at the Underground Boxing Ring was helped by an unknown expert to push Chen Chen back, Su Changfeng still felt uneasy without someone skilled in martial arts nearby, hence he instructed Dao Jiu to manage this task.

The same day Su Changfeng arrived in Beijing, Dao Jiu told him he had found an expert, but whether the person could be invited depended on Su Changfeng’s capabilities.

Su Changfeng definitely felt a tinge of anticipation. To be called an expert by Dao Jiu, the person’s prowess must be extraordinary.

However, other questions lingered in Su Changfeng’s mind, like who was the expert at the Underground Boxing Ring before.

After all, Su Changfeng had investigated through the Boxing Arena’s surveillance without finding any clues, indicating the person was especially hidden and might even be in his vicinity at that moment.

Such an individual was an unknown in Su Changfeng’s eyes. Without a way to identify who they were, he couldn’t feel at ease. But given the current circumstances, he had no way to uncover the person’s identity.

While on the plane, Su Changfeng instinctively glanced at several flight attendants but didn’t see Wu Xueqing. Realizing he was paying attention to such details brought a bitter smile to his face.

Evidently, the accidental encounters before had left a shadow in Su Changfeng’s heart, although it was indeed just a coincidence; she was not only a good sister to Wang Ling’er but also Wu Feng’s niece!

Theoretically, if she chose to work in Wu Feng’s group, her career should fare better, so why did she opt to become a flight attendant?

After some brief flight time, the plane Su Changfeng was on slowly landed at Jiangcheng Airport.

Upon exiting the airport, Su Changfeng called Dao Jiu, saying he’d meet with that expert Dao Jiu mentioned later.

Dao Jiu was waiting for Su Changfeng at Charming, and after they met, they intended to depart.

”Chang Feng, be mindful of everything; don’t push yourself too hard,” Zhu Lie reminded Su Changfeng, his eyelids twitching incessantly over the past days, giving him an ominous feeling.

”Don’t worry, I’m especially afraid of death and won’t engage in dangerous activities,” Su Changfeng smiled, then drove off.

In Su Changfeng’s view, asking someone to come out just meant inviting them to make a move, but he hadn’t expected that the expert Dao Jiu found was genuinely residing in the deep mountains.

By driving to the destination, nearly four hours were spent, reaching a place virtually void of people, and it was no longer Jiang City.

”Earlier, I thought when you said ’bring someone out of seclusion,’ it just meant inviting them to act. Who knew this expert actually lived in the deep mountains?” Su Changfeng showed a face full of bitter smiles.

Looking at the vast expanse resembling a primitive forest, hardly a person in sight, Su Changfeng felt like there might be some venomous insects or beasts inside, making it nearly impossible for anyone to survive here.

”Brother Changfeng, this expert left the martial arts world very early, and I spent considerable effort to find out he was here. However, as for the exact location, we’ll need to find it ourselves,” Dao Jiu said.

”I hope the expert you mentioned won’t disappoint me,” Su Changfeng replied, and then began climbing the mountain.

In the world, there are no roads inherently; only after people walk them does the road appear.

In the mountain where Su Changfeng was, it seemed as though no traces of human activity existed, let alone any paths, forcing Su Changfeng to create his path.

The mountain was overgrown with weeds and densely packed shrubs, making the ascent extremely difficult. Fortunately, Su Changfeng had been trained by Huo Tian before, otherwise, the sheer exhaustion alone would have made him unable to continue.

After walking for approximately an hour, a stretch of forest suddenly became very open, devoid of any weeds. However, there was a particularly strange phenomenon: many trees in this forest were broken in the middle, and the broken parts were very uneven, clearly not cut by tools like saws.

”Why are there so many trees broken at the middle here, and they don’t look man-made...” Su Changfeng frowned, thinking for a moment before continuing, ”Looks more like the work of some wild beast; could there be bears or something inside this mountain?”

Dao Jiu approached one of the broken trees. Though this tree was only about as thick as a bowl, breaking it wasn’t easy. Moreover, there were even thicker trees among those broken.

”Brother Changfeng, do you know what Mountain Clinging is?” Dao Jiu suddenly asked with a notably solemn breath.
