Su Changfeng agrees to help the Wei family, securing a collaboration with Mo Ke. Despite Wei Cheng's skepticism and disdain for the young Su Changfeng, Wei Guanglin insists on the arrangement. Su Changfeng arrives at the Wei residence, brushing off Wei Cheng's insults and preparing to handle the threats against Wei Cheng.

Wei Chengyu indeed was fearless; he believed his dad would definitely figure out a way to protect him.

Actually, the reason Wei Chengyu thought this way was simply because Wei Guanglin had protected him too well. No matter how big the trouble he caused, Wei Guanglin would personally handle it for him. Over time, Wei Chengyu had grown accustomed to the idea that there was no problem under heaven that Wei Guanglin couldn’t solve.

In fact, from beginning to end, Wei Chengyu wasn’t really worried about it.

"Dad, I promise I won’t go to the places I used to like anymore, okay? Do I need to explain myself to some brat?" Wei Chengyu said.

He didn’t take Su Changfeng seriously at all. Just the thought of needing this kid for protection made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Why wouldn’t you go? You have to go." Su Changfeng said.

Wei Guanglin looked at Su Changfeng with some surprise; logically, if you knew the other party would be prepared in those places, you should certainly try to avoid them. Why would you intentionally take risks? What exactly is Su Changfeng thinking?

The bodyguard beside him was also stunned, but quickly understood Su Changfeng’s plan. He intended to draw the snake out of the hole, but wasn’t this approach too risky? If something unexpected happened, Wei Chengyu might really lose his life.

Is this what they mean by skill bred courage? Su Changfeng seems like just a kid. Is he really this confident?

"Su Changfeng, are you sure?" Wei Guanglin asked Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng nodded seriously and said, "Of course I’m sure. Since they’ve sent assassins, naturally we should address them promptly. I think the best way is to let Wei Chengyu show himself; then the hidden foes will act."

Wei Guanglin took a deep breath; he admitted that Su Changfeng made sense, but this approach was undeniably too risky.

Wei Guanglin was a businessman, so no matter what he did, he habitually dealt with problems using a businessman’s mentality, minimizing risks as much as possible. But Su Changfeng’s plan was clearly contrary to his principles.

"But how do you ensure Chengyu’s safety?" Wei Guanglin asked.

Before Su Changfeng could speak, Wei Chengyu interrupted urgently: "What can he guarantee, dad? You mustn’t listen to him; he’s totally trying to get me killed."

"You’re overthinking it. I have no interest in your life. If I really wanted you dead, you’d already be a corpse now." Su Changfeng looked coldly at Wei Chengyu.

Wei Chengyu glared at Su Changfeng, but when he met Su Changfeng’s gaze, a chill involuntarily crept into his heart, and he hesitated to look away.

"Dad, you mustn’t trust him, I’m your biological son." Wei Chengyu said.

"To solve this problem, we must proceed this way; otherwise, the lurking threat will eventually come knocking." Su Changfeng said.

Wei Guanglin took a deep breath; the issue concerned the life of his only child, and he couldn’t be so decisive.

But he also knew Su Changfeng was right; if Wei Chengyu kept hiding like this, the other party might become desperate, and then they’d truly be doomed.

"How confident are you?" Wei Guanglin asked with a serious expression.

"100%." Su Changfeng replied.

Nowadays, on Earth, Su Changfeng was undoubtedly the king in terms of power; basically, no one could rival him. He could even single-handedly confront Tuo Shi without issue.

"How can I trust you?" Wei Guanglin asked. Although Su Changfeng had knocked out his bodyguards earlier, that alone wasn’t enough for Wei Guanglin to bet everything on Su Changfeng.

It wasn’t really Su Changfeng’s fault; the people around him couldn’t allow Su Changfeng to fully showcase his abilities. So how was he supposed to prove himself?

Su Changfeng couldn’t help looking at the bodyguard standing beside them.

The bodyguard’s expression changed, almost thinking Su Changfeng was about to take action against him again. He hastily shook his head and said, "I’m certainly not your opponent; you don’t need to use me to prove anything."

"I didn’t mean that. I just have a question to ask you." Su Changfeng said.

"Ask away." The bodyguard replied.

"Are you aware of Tuo Shi?" Su Changfeng asked.

Although Su Changfeng wasn’t a member of Tuo Shi now, he could easily leverage Tuo Shi’s name to gain others’ trust. Many knew the strength of Tuo Shi.

Su Changfeng only hoped the bodyguard had heard of Tuo Shi; otherwise, if he mentioned it, it might not elicit much reaction.

"You... you..." The bodyguard looked at Su Changfeng in astonishment, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Seeing the other party’s reaction, Su Changfeng smiled faintly; it seemed he had heard of Tuo Shi.

The Wei family father and son, on the other hand, looked bewildered. It appeared they had no knowledge of Tuo Shi’s existence.

"Heavenly Level." Su Changfeng added with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard’s face turned immediately pale; now he realized why he couldn’t muster any resistance before Su Changfeng.

He... he was actually a Heavenly Level member of Tuo Shi!

The bodyguard indeed knew of Tuo Shi’s existence because when he was still in the military, Tuo Shi had sent people to select new recruits; he was lucky enough to be chosen then, so he went to Tuo Shi.

However, unfortunately, he failed the subsequent evaluation, so he didn’t stay in Tuo Shi.

He didn’t know much about Tuo Shi, but he did know some things.

In fact, he had a friend who was already a member of Tuo Shi, so he was well aware of what being a Heavenly Level expert in Tuo Shi meant.

After a brief shock, the bodyguard knelt down without a word to express his previous offense to Su Changfeng.

Watching the scene, the Wei family father and son were perplexed; was something wrong with the bodyguard, that he’d kneel before Su Changfeng?

Could that Tuo Shi place be exceptionally powerful?

"What’s the matter?" Wei Guanglin frowned as he asked the bodyguard.

"President Wei, you can completely trust him; he will definitely handle the troubles for Young Master Wei." The bodyguard suddenly looked at Wei Guanglin, with a face full of sincerity and seriousness.

He couldn’t disclose the matters of Tuo Shi to Wei Guanglin; after all, everything about Tuo Shi was a taboo, but he could affirm that Su Changfeng’s power was without a doubt.

The meaning behind a Heavenly Level expert of Tuo Shi was something he couldn’t even begin to imagine.

Though Wei Guanglin was somewhat confused about the bodyguard’s extreme reaction, he also vaguely understood that Su Changfeng was probably not so simple, thus he had nothing more to say.
