Wei Chengyu insists on his father protecting him, refusing to believe he is in danger. Su Changfeng proposes a risky plan to lure out the hidden assassins by having Wei Chengyu appear in dangerous locations. Despite Wei Chengyu's protests and his father's hesitation, Su Changfeng reveals his connection to the powerful organization Tuo Shi, convincing Wei Guanglin and Wei Chengyu's bodyguard of his capabilities.

"Su Changfeng, since that’s the case, I am willing to trust you. As for what you want Wei Chengyu to do, he will cooperate obediently. If he dares to disobey, feel free to tell me," Wei Guanglin said, casting an annoyed glance at Wei Chengyu, warning him to follow Su Changfeng’s arrangements obediently.

Wei Chengyu had never seen Wei Guanglin so serious before, and how could he dare refuse? He could only nod obediently.

Wei Guanglin turned his head to look at Su Changfeng, saying, "Then this matter is in your hands. If you can really handle it well, I promise I’ll do everything possible to help Mo Ke develop."

"Thank you, President Wei," Su Changfeng smiled, confident that with Wei Guanglin’s help, Mo Ke’s development would accelerate.

Back then, Su Changfeng spent ten years truly developing Mo Ke, but this time, with a golden opportunity, he believed that within two or three years, Mo Ke might develop even faster and crush the Ye Family underfoot.

If Mo Ke really overshadowed the Ye Family, Shangguan Feihong would not know how to feel.

All these years, the old woman always regarded Ye Weijun as the future of the Ye Family, the only person to support the Ye Family, naively believing only Ye Weijun could take the Ye Family further. Su Changfeng just had to show her how poor her judgment was.

Maybe the past experience was too unforgettable, so Su Changfeng had never been able to let go. For other matters, Su Changfeng could be indifferent and unconcerned, as now he was beyond everything.

But as long as it involved the Ye Family and Shangguan Feihong, he couldn’t truly let it go.

"Since that’s the case, tonight I’ll go out with you," Su Changfeng said to Wei Chengyu.

Wei Chengyu’s eyes lit up; he had been staying at home obediently for a while, and was going crazy. He wasn’t worried about what the other party might do to him, as he always believed his father would handle everything.

"Alright, then I, young master, will show you my lifestyle. Surely you, the little waste of the Ye Family, have never seen these things," Wei Chengyu said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard’s face turned pale. Wei Chengyu dared to speak like this to a Heavenly Level master of Tuo Shi; he was certainly courting death.

Even though the Wei Family was highly reputable in the Capital City’s business circle, with great power, none of those mattered in front of Tuo Shi. If he truly offended Su Changfeng, he might not be able to save his own life, regardless of wealth and power.

"Wei Chengyu, I’m warning you for the last time, watch your words, or you’ll never get a cent from me," Wei Guanglin said.

In Wei Chengyu’s eyes, this was the most threatening statement. Since he had been idle, having no other financial source but asking Wei Guanglin for money, hearing this made him immediately shut up obediently.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll come to pick you up tonight. You can find some good friends, and if you can spread the word about your outing, that would be even better," Su Changfeng said.

"Nonsense, I obviously know that," Wei Chengyu murmured softly. Since going out to have fun, he naturally wanted his good brothers to join; what’s the point of going alone?

After Su Changfeng left, Wei Guanglin brought the bodyguard to the study room; many things couldn’t be asked in front of Wei Chengyu, or it would soon become known everywhere, given that guy’s nature.

In the study room, Wei Guanglin cut straight to the point, asking, "Why did you kneel to him before?"

"He is qualified to make me kneel," the bodyguard admitted, having knelt sincerely before, now deeply respecting Su Changfeng from the bottom of his heart.

Clearly still a youth, yet already an exalted Heavenly Level master of Tuo Shi—a feat ordinary people might never achieve in their lifetimes.

As for whether what Su Changfeng said was true, the bodyguard never doubted it. After all, Tuo Shi’s existence is too mysterious; ordinary people have no chance to know. His casual mention of Heavenly Level and Tuo Shi was sufficient proof that Su Changfeng indeed was a member of Tuo Shi.

"What is Tuo Shi? Is it some kind of organization? Are the people in it very powerful?" Wei Guanglin continued to ask.

"President Wei, consider this something you never knew, or it might bring you big trouble. The only thing I can tell you is, you can completely trust Su Changfeng; you can even use this opportunity to align with him. Believe it will have unimaginable benefits for the future development of the Wei Family. If you can become friends with him, it will be something countless people will covet," the bodyguard said.

The bodyguard’s words elevated Su Changfeng’s status to an unimaginable level, leaving Wei Guanglin unable to fathom what kind of identity Su Changfeng held.

Despite his curiosity, desperate to find out what was going on, the bodyguard’s words were clear, and naturally, he felt cautious.

Having been active in the business circle for many years, Wei Guanglin knew the truth that many things were not meant for his curiosity. Forcing to understand the reasons behind them might bring trouble to himself.

"It seems that the young master of the Ye Family is not as useless as external rumors suggest!" Wei Guanglin said, expressing amazement.

"Indeed, the Ye Family will regret their decision," the bodyguard said.

Wei Guanglin suddenly laughed. Ever since Shangguan Feihong took over the Ye Family, its development had fallen far behind compared to before. The key is that she placed the Ye Family’s hopes on the eldest son, Ye Weijun, completely unaware that Su Changfeng is the gem covered in dust. I really want to see her response after witnessing Su Changfeng’s capabilities.

"That old lady from the Ye Family is extremely stubborn; even if she knows about Su Changfeng’s capabilities, she might not acknowledge it. You’re right; this truly is my chance. Without the Ye Family as support, Su Changfeng can only rely on me to develop Mo Ke for now. Taking this opportunity to build a good relationship with him should benefit the Wei Family’s development," Wei Guanglin said.

"But... considering young master’s attitude towards Su Changfeng..." The bodyguard was somewhat helpless. In his view, Wei Chengyu’s actions were totally courting death; if Su Changfeng decided to take it seriously, he might already have died.

"Alright, I have it under control. Bring that guy in here for me," Wei Guanglin said.

"Yes," the bodyguard nodded, then went out; after a while, Wei Chengyu came in.
