The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1500 - 1499: Taking the Initiative
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"Patriarch Zhou." Su Changfeng entered and addressed Zhou Wang with extreme courtesy.
Zhou Wang didn’t even bother to look directly at Su Changfeng and said bluntly, "Who exactly are you, and why do you want to see me? I am not someone that just anyone can easily meet."
"I am Su Changfeng, but I am indeed nothing special; you probably haven’t heard of me," Su Changfeng said in a calm tone.
"At least you have some self-awareness. Which family are you from?" Zhou Wang asked.
However, before Su Changfeng could open his mouth, Zhou Yunqi seemed to have thought of something and frowned, "Su Changfeng? Could you be from the Ye Family?"
Su Changfeng’s name was indeed not well-known, but in certain circles, he was relatively famous. After all, Ye Weijun often talked about his younger brother outside, so in the capital city’s circles, there were quite a few stories about Su Changfeng.
However, all the stories focused on portraying Su Changfeng as a failure, and gradually, everyone came to know that the Ye Family had a useless young master.
"Ye Family? Which Ye Family?" Zhou Wang turned his head to look at Zhou Yunqi and asked.
Zhou Yunqi smiled and explained, "Patriarch, the Ye Family is considered a minor noble family in the capital city; it’s nothing special. Moreover, I heard that within the Ye Family, his status isn’t even as good as a servant."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang finally looked up to size up the little child in front of him. Since he’s the useless young master of a minor noble family, why would he actively come to see me?
"I say, kid, could it be that you’ve been wronged in your family and plan to ask me for help?" Zhou Wang said.
"That’s not it. I don’t like pleading with others. The reason I came today is just to give you some good advice." Su Changfeng said.
Hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but laugh. Give him advice?
The mighty Zhou Family had never had anyone dare to say such a thing to him. Even outsiders wouldn’t have the guts to be so presumptuous in front of him.
Could it be childish innocence? Or perhaps this kid has some really good advice?
"Alright, you’re quite interesting, kid. Go ahead and speak; once you’re done, you can leave. After all, this isn’t a place where you can mess around." Zhou Wang said.
"I recommend someone to you who can replace Zhao Yijun and do an even better job," Su Changfeng said.
Zhou Wang’s face suddenly darkened. This gathering of Zhou Family members was indeed about Zhao Yijun’s affair, but why would this suddenly appearing brat mention Zhao Yijun?
"Little brat, based on what you just said, I could kill you. Do you understand?" Zhou Wang said, glaring at Su Changfeng with a cold gaze.
Many people knew about the relationship between Zhao Yijun and the Zhou Family, but very few dared to speak about it.
Even private discussions had to be mindful of the occasion; how could anyone possibly talk about this directly in front of Zhou Wang?
Zhou Yunqi smiled sarcastically at Su Changfeng. It seems this kid is not only useless but also not very smart. Although the Ye Family is a minor noble family, they shouldn’t raise someone to be this bad. This was clearly asking for trouble with the Ye Family.
But what Su Changfeng said next was like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in everyone’s ears.
"I killed Zhao Yijun. If you want revenge, it’s entirely reasonable." Su Changfeng said in a nonchalant tone.
Thunder roared above...
Everyone felt as if a shocking thunder had erupted above their heads.
Su Changfeng’s words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, startling everyone present.
They were originally prepared to investigate thoroughly who was behind this matter, but before they could start their investigation, the perpetrator came to them directly.
No matter how they thought about it, everyone found it somewhat incredible.
The child in front of them looked about fourteen or fifteen years old; could he really have killed Zhao Yijun? No matter how they thought it over, it seemed highly improbable.
"Su Changfeng, if you were fed up with living, you could just say so. There’s no need to go in such big circles. Or are you planning to seek revenge on the Ye Family by saying this and then borrow our hands for your revenge?" Zhou Yunqi said with a face full of contempt.
Obviously, Zhou Yunqi didn’t believe a word of what Su Changfeng had just said. As for the rest of the crowd, their shock gradually turned into ridicule.
If someone else had come saying this, they might have believed it; but Su Changfeng was just a kid, how could they possibly believe what he said?
Moreover, even if someone had killed Zhao Yijun, they certainly wouldn’t actively find their way to the Zhou Family; wouldn’t that be seeking one’s own death?
Just then, everyone saw Su Changfeng make a move, and his whole figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot.
When they came to their senses, he was already standing in front of Zhou Yunqi.
Zhou Yunqi was shocked; he had no idea how Su Changfeng had gotten there; he didn’t even feel a thing, even though a second ago, he was still opposite him, several meters away!
"You..." Zhou Yunqi just opened his mouth before Su Changfeng grabbed his throat, even lifting Zhou Yunqi up with one hand.
Zhou Yunqi, whose face was flushed due to being unable to breathe, struggled desperately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break free from Su Changfeng’s restraint.
What was going on? Why was this happening?
The opponent was obviously just a kid, so how could he have such skills?
At this moment, the elder standing nearby also looked at Su Changfeng with incredulity; when he was about to save Zhou Yunqi, Su Changfeng suddenly spoke.
"I advise you not to move, otherwise, I won’t hold back."
The elder’s movements instantly ceased; he clearly understood that Su Changfeng wasn’t joking. Even he hadn’t seen Su Changfeng’s movements clearly, and with such strength, dealing with a Zhou Yunqi was no problem at all.
By this time, Zhou Wang also understood that this teenage boy who had suddenly come wasn’t as simple as he initially thought.
Having killed Zhao Yijun, and daring to show up on his own, without something to rely on, how could he have the guts to do such a thing?
"What exactly do you mean?" Zhou Wang asked.
"I’m here this time to find someone to replace Zhao Yijun’s position." Su Changfeng replied.
Seeing Zhou Yunqi’s face looking increasingly uncomfortable and almost suffocating, Zhou Wang quickly said, "Let go first; everything else can be discussed."
Su Changfeng didn’t cause further trouble, releasing him decisively; with his strength, he didn’t need to take Zhou Yunqi as a hostage, and he certainly didn’t need to.
The elder standing behind Zhou Wang was indeed quite powerful, at least stronger than Huo Tian, and potentially connected significantly with Tuo Shi.
Unfortunately, the person he faced now was Su Changfeng, so no matter how skilled he was, it wouldn’t matter.
