The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1648 - 1647: I’m Begging You
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
"These guys have captured Wang Wenli, and even made Shangguan Feihong reveal this matter publicly. Their main goal is to use the Wang Family to cause trouble for you," he said.
"Shangguan Feihong?"
Upon hearing the name Shangguan Feihong, Su Changfeng’s face became extremely unpleasant. He couldn’t believe that Shangguan Feihong was involved in the matter this time.
"Yes, it’s him. Shangguan Feihong is currently cooperating with these people because they share the same goal, which is to kill you!" he said.
Su Changfeng furrowed his brows, unable to believe that Shangguan Feihong, his own blood relative, would do something so vicious.
Not satisfied with constantly causing trouble for Su Changfeng before, he even wants to join these people to kill Su Changfeng?
It seems Shangguan Feihong never cared about the blood relationship with Su Changfeng?
Su Changfeng continued, "But the Wang Family can’t pose any threat to me. These assassins must be aware of that, right?"
"Initially, I thought the same. But gradually, I realized these people might not actually want the Wang Family to kill you."
"The main idea seems to be to muddle the current situation, hoping that they can gain considerable profit from it."
"And if they can take over some families in the process, that’s still a good thing. That’s precisely something these people would do."
"Even if the assassins intend to kill you, they’re going to satisfy all their interests beforehand. Of course, that’s just my opinion; I’m not entirely sure how things are."
He looked at Su Changfeng, saying these were just his guesses, unable to guarantee that this was indeed what those guys had in mind.
But since these people’s main motive for killing is money, taking away these families’ assets seems normal to them.
However, unfortunately, Su Changfeng is their opponent at this point, making it evident that this plan wouldn’t succeed from the start.
Su Changfeng continued, "The things you’ve told me indeed have provided some help, but I’m not going to cooperate with you because of this."
"Because my cooperation partners must bring me benefits, and you’re different. Also, I don’t understand why you seek me out for this."
"If these assassins target me, what you’re doing now is placing yourself in danger, isn’t it?"
"If I were you, I’d never step forward to cooperate; I’d just watch them fight from afar."
The elderly man replied, "Actually, I do want revenge for my son, but I’m more eager to understand why these guys targeted him."
"Is that so?" Su Changfeng smiled and said, "You know they’re assassins, so certainly, they acted on orders."
No sooner had Su Changfeng finished speaking than he realized what the man truly wanted to know.
Clearly, the old man wanted to find out who instructed these assassins to target his son.
The elderly man nodded and said, "Indeed, that’s why I want to know who exactly ordered them to do this."
"But this kind of information is not typically easy to come by, and this organization operates mainly abroad. Even if you want to investigate, you’ll have to visit their headquarters overseas," Su Changfeng said.
"Naturally, if you could assist me, I would definitely go," he said.
Su Changfeng replied directly, "I can’t help you with that since I have other matters to attend to and can’t change my schedule for your sake."
From the very beginning, Su Changfeng had a clear plan: once he dealt with the matters here, he’d leave for Jiang City.
That way, he could stay together with her, and resolve any issues that anyone might have toward her.
But in the old man’s eyes, Su Changfeng was his only hope now, with his age telling him that he might disappear from the world at any moment.
If he couldn’t find the killers of his son before his death, he truly wouldn’t face his son.
Thus, without hesitation, he knelt beside Su Changfeng, saying, "I have no other choice. You’re my only hope, I beg you!"
Seeing this, Su Changfeng felt a sense of helplessness.
Even though Su Changfeng saw this person as a mere acquaintance, he couldn’t ignore that the man’s age exceeded his own.
Now, he was kneeling down right in front of him, as if truly having no other plan.
If Su Changfeng refused now, it really wouldn’t seem right.
Yet, being diverted by unnecessary affairs impacting his schedule, Su Changfeng would still feel uncomfortable.
After all, for Su Changfeng, she was the most important person.
He looked at the man helplessly and said, "You know that by acting this way, you’re coercing me. If I don’t agree, will you refuse to stand up?"
"No, I’ve never thought that. I just hoped you’d consider my request. I merely want to find out who orchestrated this, and I’d do whatever is necessary!"
Su Changfeng dismissed whatever this man might do, knowing none of it bore any meaning.
Still, Su Changfeng couldn’t simply turn away because he mentioned being his last hope.
Eventually, Su Changfeng reluctantly said, "If possible, I’ll assist you in investigating this matter. Yet, I can’t promise results; you might obtain answers yourself."
"Because I’m not going abroad, and I won’t waste my time over this matter."
"That’s fine!"
