The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1622 - 1621: How Did You Know
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"But how did you know who I am?"
Shangguan Sichen asked the question that lingered in his heart. He knew that very few people were aware of his identity; even those who tried to investigate would find it impossible to uncover.
Because Shangguan Sichen had always been meticulous about protecting his identity and records, the fact that Su Changfeng knew his identity deeply shocked him.
Su Changfeng smiled and said, "Anything I want to know, no one can hide. For example, I also know that my grandfather is currently imprisoned in the Shangguan Family’s jail by you, right?"
If someone else had said this to Shangguan Sichen, he would have thought they were deliberately probing him, given that very few people knew about the jail.
But since these words came from Su Changfeng, Shangguan Sichen didn’t feel it was a ploy.
Su Changfeng indeed knew too much about his family, even to a degree that shocked Shangguan Sichen himself.
"The existence of the jail is unknown even to those within my family, yet you know about it. I find this extremely shocking."
Shangguan Sichen said to Su Changfeng seriously, realizing that he couldn’t treat Su Changfeng as just a child anymore.
This person showed capabilities that did not match those of a child, making it impossible for Shangguan Sichen to underestimate Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng continued, "The prison you made and the many subordinates you arranged are all because of Tuo Shi."
"But I’m telling you now, everything you’re doing is pointless."
"Why?" Shangguan Sichen frowned, looking at Su Changfeng.
"Firstly, the people of Tuo Shi surpass this mundane existence. Unless they choose to reveal themselves, no matter how hard you try, it will be futile." Su Changfeng said, looking at Shangguan Sichen.
Tuo Shi is an organization connected to another world, created precisely to reach that world.
So how could Shangguan Sichen easily investigate such matters?
Although Shangguan Sichen was indeed very wealthy and held high status and power, even so.
Shangguan Sichen still had no way to escape being part of the mundane world, let alone reach beyond it to Tuo Shi!
Shangguan Sichen continued, "But didn’t you tell me you are from Tuo Shi? Since you’ve come here, doesn’t this mean I can indeed find Tuo Shi?"
Su Changfeng’s eyes showed a trace of amusement. Shangguan Sichen had indeed easily identified the crux of the matter.
Moreover, Shangguan Sichen’s words contained some truth. If Su Changfeng wanted, he could indeed take Shangguan Sichen there.
But Su Changfeng could never understand why Shangguan Sichen was so determined to find Tuo Shi.
Su Changfeng looked at Shangguan Sichen and said, "But tell me, why do you want to join Tuo Shi?"
In his past life, Shangguan Sichen never revealed this matter, nor had he responded even when Su Changfeng asked many times.
This lifetime remained the same.
Shangguan Sichen said to Su Changfeng, "If you can take me to Tuo Shi, whatever you want, I can give it to you."
Previously, Su Changfeng chose to go along with Shangguan Sichen precisely because he needed Shangguan Sichen’s help.
At that time, Su Changfeng didn’t have sufficient power.
But now, even without Shangguan Sichen’s help, Su Changfeng could still achieve what he wanted.
In other words, the Shangguan Family essentially offered no benefits to Su Changfeng.
Therefore, Su Changfeng didn’t need Shangguan Sichen to do anything for him, nor did he need the conditions Shangguan Sichen proposed.
Since anything Su Changfeng wanted, he could achieve himself.
So Su Changfeng looked at Shangguan Sichen and spoke calmly, "Perhaps you view the Shangguan Family as a formidable existence."
"But in my eyes, it’s nothing, and I don’t need your power for anything."
"Therefore, you need to tell me why you want to go to Tuo Shi; otherwise, you probably won’t have any chance to reach Tuo Shi in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shangguan Sichen’s eyes, as no one likes being told their family is worthless.
Moreover, whoever Shangguan Sichen wants to eliminate, he can do so easily, but unfortunately, he’s facing Su Changfeng.
The murderous intent Shangguan Sichen showed wasn’t good for him.
Not to mention, Su Changfeng is right in front of him, and if Su Changfeng wants to, he could make Shangguan Sichen disappear from the world.
Even those nearby tasked with protecting Shangguan Sichen might not be able to react.
Shangguan Sichen said to Su Changfeng, "I understand; you likely wouldn’t care about ordinary matters, but if you tell me about Tuo Shi, I’ll release your grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng laughed aloud, then looked at Shangguan Sichen and said, "I think you should reassess your position, and see if you even have the capability to say these things to me."
"I know there are many people here protecting you in the shadows, but if I wanted to make a move, these five people wouldn’t even react."
"Don’t you think that after killing you, rescuing my grandfather should be no problem, or at worst, I could capture you and exchange you for my grandfather."
Shangguan Sichen’s heart skipped a beat.
