Su Changfeng witnessed Gao Yuan behaving arrogantly and spending lavishly after becoming rich. He returned home to Ji Hong, who was worried about his safety after his encounter with the Wang Family. Su Changfeng explained that the Wang Family suspected him of capturing Wang Linseng, but he left after they let him go, omitting his involvement in the ambush and their current subjugation.

Chapter 1657: Chapter 1656: I Don’t Care

Ji Hong was incredibly shocked after learning about this matter. After all, Ji Hong always thought Gao Yuan was a good girl and even believed that having money wouldn’t change her.

But the facts proved Ji Hong wrong, leaving Ji Hong astonished now.

After a moment, Ji Hong shook his head in a thoughtful manner and then looked at Su Changfeng, who appeared indifferent, saying, “But generally, when people suddenly become wealthy, they behave this way. Yet, somehow, I feel like you anticipated this kind of situation, didn’t you?”

As Ji Hong spoke, he also looked at Su Changfeng, “Why do I feel like you don’t care about the money at all?”

Given the normal circumstances, Su Changfeng’s company was also gradually developing, and many people wanted to collaborate with Su Changfeng.

However, Su Changfeng seemed completely unconcerned about these matters, even handing over all company affairs to others.

This behavior of Su Changfeng is utterly perplexing.

Indeed, money now means nothing to Su Changfeng; even if he considered money useful, that was in his past life.

It’s because of this that Su Changfeng certainly doesn’t care about these matters anymore.

Su Changfeng shrugged and smiled, saying, “I can’t help it; I’m just someone who doesn’t care about money.”

Ji Hong heard this and pouted, looking at Su Changfeng, then said, “But most people think that way because they have a lot of money. How can you have such a perspective?”

Ji Hong furrowed his brows, looking at Su Changfeng, seemingly puzzled and unable to understand his mature demeanor.

At this moment, Ji Hong suddenly turned a bit serious, even looking slightly displeased.

Just as Su Changfeng was about to ask what was going on, he heard Ji Hong say sternly, “Tell me honestly about what’s going on with An Yuanyuan.”

Seeing Ji Hong clearly serious, Su Changfeng felt rather helpless, as he knew Ji Hong surely misunderstood him.

As expected, Ji Hong immediately asked, “Why did you suddenly let An Yuanyuan work at your company? Do you think she’s attractive, and thus…”

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng felt very speechless, not understanding why Ji Hong had such thoughts.

After all, Su Changfeng could have any type of person; there’s no need to focus his mind on a woman of the same age as Ji Hong.

Moreover, in the eyes of wealthy people, An Yuanyuan is nothing but a toy, and it’s even likely she’s slept with many people by now.

How frustrated would Su Changfeng have to be to develop affections for such a woman?

Thus, Su Changfeng helplessly replied, “Come on, why do you think so? I’m still young, and she’s as old as you.”

Ji Hong furrowed his brows, looking at Su Changfeng, “But I’ve seen many people interested in women older than themselves. I’m not sure whether you truly fancy this person.”

“I’m really innocent here; I let An Yuanyuan work at my company merely because she told me she could wield influence over everyone in the business circle for me.”

Su Changfeng shrugged, explaining, “Honestly, I don’t care at all about what An Yuanyuan said, but I’m curious. I’m curious about how capable this woman is to say such things.”

“It’s precisely because of this that I spared her and even let her work at my company; it’s not at all like you’re imagining.”

Su Changfeng’s explanation seemed quite reasonable, and for a moment, Ji Hong realized he might indeed have overthought it.

But Ji Hong still couldn’t accept the idea of Su Changfeng being interested in a woman of his own age.

“Alright then, seeing your sincerity, I won’t mention it anymore.” Ji Hong nodded and said.

Su Changfeng looked at Ji Hong with resignation, “I really hope that in the future, your mind won’t conjure such nonsensical ideas anymore.”

“I’m a perfectly normal person in terms of orientation. But now you think I like men or women of your age. I’m really helpless here.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Hong recognized he might have been somewhat excessive and thus said, “Okay, I realize my mistake. I won’t think about you like that carelessly anymore.”

“But you need to understand, I don’t want you to either like men or end up with someone my age, understand?”

Just as Su Changfeng was about to speak, he received a phone call from someone he had met previously.

“How’s the situation?”

“It’s done.”

With just these two simple sentences, Su Changfeng knew Hamm was likely captured by this person.

“However, I can’t accomplish this by myself; those folks aren’t afraid of an old man like me, so I can’t extract any information from him that I wish to know.”

This person spoke like he was climbing the ladder, but at the moment, aside from relying on Su Changfeng, there was no other means.

“Just ask what you want, and tell him it’s my intention. This way, Hamm will find out what you wish to know.” Su Changfeng responded indifferently.

“What?”

This person seemed very surprised by Su Changfeng’s words, as such a matter doesn’t appear as straightforward as Su Changfeng made it sound.

They needed to be aware that Hamm had an organization behind him, and if this employer’s affairs were disclosed, it would considerably impact the organization.

It could be said without reservation, the organization would utterly fall if revealed.

In doing so, Hamm has no advantage whatsoever, so why would he commit such an act?

“But are you sure just saying this would suffice?”

Su Changfeng felt amused upon hearing the suspicious tone, although indeed, the matter seemed incredibly incredible.

Nonetheless, there have been numerous events in between that Su Changfeng can’t explain.

Frankly, in the minds of Hamm and the Wang Family folks, Su Changfeng’s shadow looms the largest.

Since Su Changfeng stated it was his intention, they surely must comply honestly.
