The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1501 - 1500: Zhou Wang’s Compromise

In this world, there basically no longer exists anyone who can threaten Su Changfeng, so there’s no need for him to worry so much anymore.

"You know Zhao Yijun’s nature very well. What he did before wasn’t really beneficial to the Zhou Family. By killing him this time, I’ve actually helped the Zhou Family to a certain extent. I don’t need the Zhou Family’s gratitude, but I hope you can accept the person I’m recommending to you," Su Changfeng said.

Zhou Wang’s gaze towards Su Changfeng was very cold. Over the years, he has always occupied a high position; there are essentially no people who dare to be so presumptuous in front of him. And from the tone of Su Changfeng’s words, he’s not negotiating with Zhou Wang, but strongly notifying him.

The key is that the person he’s recommending is surely his confidant, which means he’s planning to use Zhou Family’s resources to train his own people.

How could Zhou Wang agree to such a thing?

"What if I refuse?" Zhou Wang said coldly.

Su Changfeng smiled and calmly looked at the old man behind Zhou Wang, saying, "He can’t defeat me. If you bet all your chips on him, I urge you to reconsider, and I assure you, if you entertain such thoughts, the one who will end up dead is you."

After saying these words, Su Changfeng paused and then continued, "Among everyone present, there should be many eager to replace you. If you die, they will certainly be happy. If you’re unwilling to cooperate with me, I can easily pick someone from among them, I think they wouldn’t refuse me, would they?"

Zhou Wang’s face turned completely dark, Su Changfeng’s words were truly blunt.

But he understood deep down that Su Changfeng was right. Within the Zhou Family, many people were waiting for something to happen to him, but due to his authority, they could only think about it secretly.

"At such a young age, to come to my Zhou Family speaking so boldly, aren’t you disregarding me, Zhou Wang?" Zhou Wang said coldly.

"I wonder if I might have a conversation with this elderly gentleman?" Su Changfeng suddenly asked.

Zhou Wang turned to look at the old man behind him, and the old man nodded.

Among everyone present, only he knew how terrifying Su Changfeng’s abilities truly were; hence even he didn’t dare to disregard Su Changfeng.

The old man walked directly up to Su Changfeng and said, "Speak."

Su Changfeng lowered his voice and asked the old man, "Elder, have you ever heard of Tuo Shi, and are you aware of the prowess of Tuo Shi’s Heavenly Level expert?"

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes widened instantly, and even his expression noticeably changed.

Su Changfeng naturally noticed the old man’s reaction, he smiled slightly, it seemed that the name of Tuo Shi was still quite effective, it could indeed frighten many people.

The old man suppressed his emotions and respectfully clasped his fists towards Su Changfeng, saying, "I apologize for my earlier offense, I hope you won’t blame me."

Su Changfeng smiled and shook his head, not speaking further.

When the old man returned to stand behind Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang could clearly perceive his body slightly trembling.

They had known each other for a long time, and Zhou Wang knew his old friend had experienced many great upheavals, so whatever caused such a large emotional reaction must not be trivial. Clearly, this young man wasn’t simple at all.

If he really went head-to-head with Su Changfeng, the outcome might not be favorable, and such a possibility was rather high.

Having been in power in the Zhou Family for so long, Zhou Wang naturally knew which choice was best for him; thus, by now, he had more or less made up his mind.

"Yun Qi, you will be responsible for the person he’s recommending," Zhou Wang said.

Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s words, everyone present couldn’t help changing their expressions; Zhou Wang was evidently yielding to a young brat.

It’s worth noting that Zhou Wang, as the head of the Zhou Family, one of the Capital City’s formidable families, naturally held an unquestionable status, and furthermore, he had always been an assertive man who rarely listened to others. But who would have thought that he’d yield to Su Changfeng?

The other party was just a teenager, yet Zhou Wang compromised like this; to the Zhou Family members, it was truly incredible.

Zhou Yunqi didn’t know how to feel at the moment, but deep down he understood that since Zhou Wang had spoken, he had to do well, and regarding Su Changfeng, who could make Zhou Wang relent, he too had to treat the matter seriously.

"Family Head, rest assured, I will certainly cooperate well," Zhou Yunqi said, then glanced at Su Changfeng, his attitude immediately changed.

The worthless young master known throughout the Capital from the Ye Family seemed entirely different from what he had imagined.

Indeed, Zhou Yunqi had a premonition that if he wanted to become the Zhou Family’s head, Su Changfeng’s appearance might be his opportunity, and he was sure Su Changfeng could be a significant help to him in the future.

"Alright, I’ll head back to rest first, the rest you can decide amongst yourselves." Zhou Wang gave Su Changfeng one last look before rising to leave, beneath his calm exterior was a heart full of curiosity about what Su Changfeng said to the old man that caused such a huge emotional fluctuation.

Everyone present quickly stood up, watching Zhou Wang leave, a treatment akin to an ancient Emperor.

Once Zhou Wang’s figure disappeared completely, everyone’s attention returned to Su Changfeng. For this young man who came forward willingly, admitted to killing Zhao Yijun, and managed to make Zhou Wang compromise, there arose a strong interest.

In the crowd, some people hadn’t yet come to their senses, staring blankly at Su Changfeng.

"Brother, whatever you want, just tell me directly, if I can do it, I’ll definitely do it." Zhou Yunqi walked up to Su Changfeng, this time with a smile on his face, completely different from his previous disdain, even his speech was much more cordial, treating Su Changfeng as if they’d been friends all along.

"His name is Chen Bonian, if you have time, go ahead and meet him directly, and after we handle this matter, I’ll treat you to a drink," Su Changfeng said.

Zhou Yunqi raised his eyebrows, such drinking occasions obviously weren’t solely for drinking; it was a chance to build closer ties with Su Changfeng.

"Alright, consider it settled, brother, from now on we’re friends; if you need anything, just ask." Zhou Yunqi promised heartily.

His attitude was now very obvious in currying favor with Su Changfeng, and everyone present who wasn’t foolish could clearly see it, while those with a chance to compete with Zhou Yunqi for the Family Head position became naturally anxious.
