The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1498 - 1497: Stirring Up a Huge Commotion
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"He’s dead... dead!" The tattooed man gasped for breath before speaking.
Rumble...
Chen Bonian felt as if thunder had burst around his ears, his body softened, and he collapsed to the ground, his breathing becoming involuntarily rapid.
He couldn’t help but think of Su Changfeng’s calm demeanor yesterday. Chen Bonian never expected such an outcome in the end.
"Are you sure it’s true? Zhao Yijun, is Zhao Yijun really dead?" Chen Bonian asked in a deep voice.
"Really dead. Now those people are all in chaos," the tattooed man said.
Chen Bonian gasped for air, trying to suppress the panic in his heart. Just then, Su Changfeng appeared.
When Bonian saw Su Changfeng, his pupils shrank instantly, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.
Even now, he couldn’t link Zhao Yijun’s death with the young man in front of him, but he knew in his heart that this was Su Changfeng’s doing!
The words he lightly spoke before, Chen Bonian didn’t take seriously at all, but he didn’t expect something so dramatic to happen overnight.
Who exactly is this person, and how does he possess such capability?
Meanwhile, the tattooed man, upon seeing Su Changfeng, immediately averted his gaze, lacking the courage to lock eyes with Su Changfeng, his palms cold with sweat.
Just thinking about how he had once flaunted himself in front of Su Changfeng made the tattooed man tremble in fear. He could easily deal with Zhao Yijun; if he wanted to kill him, it would be as simple as crushing an ant.
Now, the tattooed man felt lucky, grateful for his good fortune, that Su Changfeng didn’t intend to kill him; otherwise, he might have already faced the same fate as Zhao Yijun.
"So, have you thought about it?" Su Changfeng asked.
Chen Bonian’s body shivered. Despite his not very high position in the Capital City, he wasn’t a fool. Su Changfeng killed Zhao Yijun, and Zhao Yijun’s backers wouldn’t just let this go.
In fact, Zhao Yijun appeared as a leader, but was merely a puppet. Now, with Su Changfeng destroying this puppet, the people behind Zhao Yijun would surely take action.
If they eventually traced it back to Su Changfeng, would Su Changfeng really be able to handle it?
If he couldn’t, once Chen Bonian had sided with Su Changfeng, he would certainly face the opposition’s revenge alongside Su Changfeng.
Therefore, Chen Bonian couldn’t casually agree to Su Changfeng; he needed to analyze the pros and cons properly. Otherwise, a single misstep could lead to an irreversible situation.
"Actually, you have other options, you could side with the opposing party and inform Zhao Yijun’s forces that I’m involved in this matter. That way, you might gain some benefits." Su Changfeng kindly suggested.
Chen Bonian exhaled deeply. Su Changfeng offering such words—could it be that he’s not worried at all about Zhao Yijun’s backers?
"I think you don’t really know how formidable Zhao Yijun’s forces are," Chen Bonian said.
"So what? Whoever his backers are, once they come before me, I have a way to defeat them, even if it means killing them all." Su Changfeng spoke calmly, as if discussing the weather.
But for some reason, Chen Bonian felt a hidden assurance that, since Su Changfeng dared to make such claims, he must have confidence, relying on his background.
Moreover, from the situation with Zhao Yijun, Su Changfeng’s strength is truly not to be underestimated.
"Are you really not worried at all?" Chen Bonian asked.
Su Changfeng smiled. With his current strength, he could easily crush anyone. Simply put, whatever Su Changfeng wished to accomplish, he had the capability to achieve it.
If it weren’t for his deep-seated grudge over past events, if it weren’t for wanting Shangguan Feihong to see what mistakes she made, Su Changfeng likely wouldn’t be expending such effort; he could directly move to Jiang City and watch over Han Xue’s growth.
However, Su Changfeng couldn’t convince himself not to care due to his strong obsession, so he needed to prove to Shangguan Feihong that she was wrong from the start, and gravely so.
Besides, he’s only a teenager now, with too long to wait before growing up. If he didn’t find something to pass the time, he might die of boredom.
"It seems you haven’t made up your mind; perhaps you’re not the person I’m looking for." With that, Su Changfeng turned to leave.
Seeing this, Chen Bonian quickly became anxious. He realized this might be his chance—this decision might lead him to great success, entering a world he’s never seen before and attaining real power and authority.
If he missed this opportunity, he might never have another chance in this lifetime.
"Wait," Chen Bonian suddenly called out.
Su Changfeng halted his steps but didn’t turn around.
Chen Bonian clenched his fist and finally said, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"I’ll tell you when the time comes." With those words, Su Changfeng didn’t stop, striding away.
Chen Bonian looked somewhat bewildered, and the tattooed man was similarly stunned; what kind of cards does Su Changfeng hold that even they don’t dare to speculate?
"Boss, what does he mean? Did he... did he just leave?" The tattooed man asked dumbfoundedly.
"How the hell would I know?" Chen Bonian cursed in frustration, his heart racing. He had truly agreed with Su Changfeng, and this decision could dramatically change his life.
He couldn’t be sure what Su Changfeng meant earlier, whether he really accepted him, nor did he know what awaited him after joining Su Changfeng.
"Boss, he probably hasn’t gone far; why don’t I go chase him and ask?" The tattooed man cautiously suggested.
"Forget it; since he asked us to wait, then we’ll wait properly. Anyway, life is just about living, whether we die sooner or later. Since fate has given me this chance, I might as well gamble; maybe I can even leave this hellish place," Chen Bonian stated.
The tattooed man naturally didn’t understand what Chen Bonian meant. In reality, Chen Bonian himself didn’t know what he was saying. Maybe his emotions were running too high; at this moment, he couldn’t calm down, his mind a muddle.
Meanwhile, on the other side, ever since Su Changfeng left Mo Ke yesterday, Wu Feng had been quietly observing the underworld’s movements. He knew that the sky over Capital City was likely about to change, but he wasn’t sure if Su Changfeng would act as he imagined.
So he continued watching, wanting to know to what extent Su Changfeng could go.
