The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 598: Chapter 599: The Disheartened Zhu Lie

Sun Mei intended to watch the drama unfold, so she didn’t leave. She had to see Su Changfeng die, only then would she feel at ease.

Brother Scar let Sun Mei into a certain room inside the courtyard. Despite the poor surroundings, Sun Mei was very excited inside.

At this moment, Sun Mei had been waiting a long time. Only when Su Changfeng died would Shen Hanxue start a new life, and the Shen Family would truly be safe.

In another room, besides Brother Scar, there were also some fierce-looking people. These people were covered with colorful tattoos, really looking like they lived on the edge, and from their eyes, it was clear they weren’t ordinary thugs or normal people.

”Brother Blade, 500,000 to kill someone, that’s a bit cheap, isn’t it? That woman doesn’t look like an ordinary person,” someone said to Brother Scar. They did this often, and the price was usually set according to the employer’s financial power, and for someone like Sun Mei, 500,000 was a bit low.”

Brother Scar chuckled and said, ”What do you know? After we kill the person, how much we’re paid depends on how much we ask for. For someone like her, she wouldn’t dare not pay!”

Upon hearing Brother Scar, everyone immediately understood what he meant.

”Brother Scar is clever, look at how frightened that woman looks, in the future, whatever we ask for she’ll give. Brother Scar got us a meal ticket this time.”

”This time, it’s enough for everyone to live leisurely for a long time, finally able to enjoy some stability.”

”If it weren’t for Brother Scar being so smart, us blockheads would probably be stuck at construction sites for food.”

Listening to the flattery of others, Brother Scar looked full of pride.

Su Changfeng was idle, spending time doing nothing, sitting there in a daze. He imagined meeting Shen Hanxue in the afternoon, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

”Feng Bin, what do you think Su Changfeng is thinking about with that smug smile? Can’t be anything good,” Zhu Lie whispered to Feng Bin.

Feng Bin looked embarrassed. Zhu Lie dared to criticize Su Changfeng, but he didn’t have the right to do so, so Feng Bin didn’t dare respond.

”Boss Zhu, if you’re curious about what Brother Canghai is thinking, you can go ask him,” Feng Bin said.

Zhu Lie shook his head and replied, ”Look at the springtime look on Su Changfeng’s face, it must be something about his sister-in-law. I don’t want to get a mouthful of dog food from Su Changfeng. As a middle-aged single man, it’s best to stay away from him.”

Feng Bin gave a helpless smile. Zhu Lie claimed to be a middle-aged single man, but if he wanted women, he could have different ones every day and wouldn’t repeat them for 386 consecutive days; he just didn’t want to.

”Damn it, why do I feel so itchy inside, even knowing I’d get hurt asking, I still want to ask what’s going on. You better stop me from being impulsive,” Zhu Lie turned to Feng Bin, unable to hold back.

Feng Bin’s face was full of wry smiles. Zhu Lie was quite a peculiar person because sometimes his behavior wasn’t suitable for his age, very childish, and showed no boss-like demeanor.

”Forget it, you better not stop me. This time no one can stop me,” before Feng Bin could speak, Zhu Lie stood up and walked towards Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng was sitting on the sofa, and Zhu Lie sat on the armrest, putting a hand on Su Changfeng’s shoulder and asked, ”What’s the good news, share it with your brother?”

Su Changfeng squinted at Zhu Lie and said, ”This has nothing to do with you.”

”Don’t say that, I’m just concerned about you,” Zhu Lie said, taking out a pack of cigarettes and handing one to Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng looked at Zhu Lie in astonishment. Zhu Lie was like a pixiu, only taking and never giving. They’d known each other for over three years, and the times Zhu Lie offered him cigarettes could be counted on one hand. This time he was so generous.

”You’re being really generous to get information out of me,” Su Changfeng teased.

Zhu Lie didn’t find it embarrassing. He was used to interacting this way. In Zhu Lie’s eyes, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

”No more nonsense. My cigarettes are quite expensive,” Zhu Lie urged.

Su Changfeng placed the cigarette in his mouth, and Zhu Lie quickly pulled out a lighter.

After a deep draw, Su Changfeng exhaled a smoke ring and said, ”This afternoon, Hanxue asked me out.”

Zhu Lie clutched his chest with a bitter face. Even though he anticipated getting a mouthful of dog food from Su Changfeng, he couldn’t accept it when he confirmed it.

”Did Hanxue ask you out first?” Zhu Lie asked.

”That’s right, she sent me a message this morning. Maybe she misses me too much,” Su Changfeng said happily.

Zhu Lie sat directly on the floor and then lay back in a big ”X” shape, saying in despair, ”Damn it, I knew it was dog food. Why did I even ask?”

Suddenly, Zhu Lie stood up, grabbed the cigarette from Su Changfeng’s hand, didn’t mind that Su Changfeng already smoked it once, put it in his mouth, and cursed, ”Cigarettes are for distressing people like me. Why are you smoking aimlessly, you bastard? Can’t you consider a single middle-aged man like me?”

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but give an eye-roll that could reach the sky. Zhu Lie indeed was entering middle age, but he’s never serious from morning till night. In front of his little brothers, he doesn’t even try to maintain the demeanor of a boss.

”You brought this upon yourself. It’s none of my business,” Su Changfeng said.

Zhu Lie deeply inhaled the cigarette, as if using it to stimulate himself, then suddenly turned to Feng Bin and asked, ”You don’t have a woman or a little girlfriend, do you?”

Feng Bin shivered and quickly said, ”No, no, no, I don’t have one.”

Zhu Lie felt somewhat satisfied and turned to Su Changfeng, ”This is our singles club, so if you don’t have anything to do, don’t come here anymore to disrupt our rules.”

Su Changfeng stood up, casually adjusted his collar, and, pretending to be serious, said to Zhu Lie, ”Zhu Lie, since you intend to break up with me, fine, then you should start arranging to repay the money you owe me. After all, you owe me 200 million RMB, and it’s hard to distinguish things clearly if you don’t pay up.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lie trembled entirely. He had never planned to repay Su Changfeng, but now that Su Changfeng brought it up, he had to play the rascal.
