The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 950: Chapter 949: Slipping on a Watermelon Peel

”Family sometimes acts for our own good. I believe that when you become stronger, you will be grateful to them,” An Yufei said with a smile.

”Maybe.” Su Changfeng appeared indifferent, although he had not yet joined Tuo Shi, the mysterious organization that was both powerful and unknown to him. However, Su Changfeng felt no fear inside. He understood that if he truly joined Tuo Shi, everything might change, including the people and things around him. Still, Su Changfeng was uncertain if he could adapt to such a significant change.

”Su Changfeng, if you can join Tuo Shi with your talent and Mr. Wu’s guidance, you will undoubtedly become stronger. Only then can you better protect those you care about and ensure they are unharmed,” An Yufei said. The reason he said this was that, during their conversation, he had noticed how much Su Changfeng valued his family; hence, he used this to persuade Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng nodded slightly, acknowledging the logic in An Yufei’s words, realizing that only by becoming stronger could he protect his wife and daughter.

As they talked for a while, the observant Su Changfeng noticed that An Yufei seemed to have something to ask him but hesitated to speak.

Su Changfeng was naturally aware that An Yufei was curious about how he managed to kill Ye Chenyu. After all, the gap between him and Ye Chenyu was undoubtedly vast, and such a stark contrast must have a reason.

”Are you wondering how I managed to kill Ye Chenyu?” Su Changfeng asked nonchalantly.

An Yufei laughed and said, ”You really can’t hide anything from you, can you? I really want to know.” An Yufei was someone who believed in strength because he had seen Ye Chenyu’s skills. To think that Su Changfeng could defeat Ye Chenyu seemed impossible, yet it was Su Changfeng who triumphed, a miracle in itself; such a feat would take divine intervention!

However, An Yufei didn’t believe in gods or spirits and didn’t think it was divine salvation.

”What if I told you that Ye Chenyu just happened to arrive in the morning and I slipped on a watermelon rind, and that’s when I struck him. Do you think that’s possible?” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

”Haha, do you think I would believe that?” An Yufei retorted. Such a story could only fool a three-year-old child, and he wouldn’t buy it. Even if what Su Changfeng said were true and Ye Chenyu slipped on a watermelon rind, Su Changfeng wouldn’t have had the power to kill him in one strike. Ye Chenyu might have been injured, but even then, Su Changfeng wouldn’t have been his match.

”I’ve already told you the real situation. Since you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do,” Su Changfeng said with a shrug.

The reason Su Changfeng didn’t tell An Yufei the truth was not only because of concerns about him but also because this was his ultimate secret. It might save his life in critical moments, so having one less person know meant one less risk.

An Yufei knew well that Su Changfeng didn’t want to be honest, but he had no way of forcing him. After all, he didn’t have the courage to press Su Changfeng.

”By the way, I need to remind you, Guan Shan is very vindictive. Although he’s no longer in Cowpen District, I still think he’ll come back despite this failure. So, you should still be cautious in your actions,” An Yufei said.

Su Changfeng had never met this rumored Guan Shan and didn’t know what kind of person he was. Still, knowing that Guan Shan bore a grudge against him meant he would return. Therefore, An Yufei didn’t need to mention it for Su Changfeng to be vigilant.

However, given An Yufei’s intelligence, he wouldn’t have reminded him like this without reason, which made Su Changfeng think of something else.

”If I’m not mistaken, you’ve already received an order from Mr. Wu. If there’s nothing urgent, don’t bother with me, am I right?” Su Changfeng speculated.

An Yufei sometimes felt that talking to smart people was easy because he didn’t need to elaborate; his point was understood. However, at times it could be frustrating, as An Yufei was experiencing right now. He never expected Su Changfeng to have such clear insight.

An Yufei didn’t immediately respond but thought for a moment about how to reply to Su Changfeng. If he spoke honestly, it might make Su Changfeng resent Mr. Wu, which would be a disadvantage.

But this moment of hesitation from An Yufei confirmed for Su Changfeng that his earlier supposition was correct, so there was no need for An Yufei to say anything.

”There’s no need to think of how to respond. It seems I wasn’t wrong. Our esteemed Mr. Wu from Tianqi wants to take me as a Direct Disciple and is planning to secretly test me, right?” Su Changfeng said lightly.

Hearing Su Changfeng speak so candidly, An Yufei shrugged helplessly and said, ”You really can’t keep anything from you!”

”If I couldn’t figure out such a small matter, wouldn’t that be a bit foolish?” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Although Su Changfeng spoke with a smile, An Yufei felt an invisible pressure, causing cold sweat to form on his forehead.

An Yufei thought it was best not to continue this topic. If they continued, Su Changfeng might find out even more. So An Yufei quickly asked, ”Now that Ye Litian has fallen and the major families in Cowpen District are racking their brains to win you over, what are your plans?”

”With Ye Litian gone, the Ye Family has lost its key figure and is faced with petty matters; they won’t submit to me. But these trivial matters don’t deserve my personal attention, so I’ll have Chen Hai handle everything for me,” Su Changfeng shared his plans with An Yufei.

”It seems you have no interest in wealth,” An Yufei remarked. From Su Changfeng’s words and actions, it was clear he wasn’t proud of becoming the leading figure in Cowpen District, as if these were external matters not worthy of his attention.

”I don’t care about wealth. What I care about is protecting my family and ensuring they remain unharmed,” Su Changfeng said thoughtfully.
