Hamm, previously held captive, agrees to investigate a past event for Yang Tianshu, but only because Su Changfeng had previously tasked him with the same mission. Hamm's extreme fear of Su Changfeng makes Yang Tianshu deeply curious about Su Changfeng's true power and influence. Yang Tianshu eventually releases Hamm, left pondering the mysterious circumstances surrounding the Wang Family's past.

Therefore, even if I were to investigate, I would find nothing.

Things indeed turned out as Yang Tianshu thought; after Su Changfeng left, the Wang Family sealed off all information, ensuring nothing could be leaked.

After all, Wang Wenli knew that if this matter were ever discovered by others, Su Changfeng would definitely be extremely angered.

The Wang Family’s survival depended on entrusting their entire family to Su Changfeng, so Wang Wenli was unwilling to risk anything that might endanger his family.

Wang Wenli, although unclear about who Su Changfeng truly was, could not imagine how someone could accomplish such feats.

However, from various signs, it was evident that Su Changfeng’s status was undeniably complex at this moment.

Wang Wenli recalled a legend he once heard about an organization that transcends the mundane world.

That organization is Tuo Shi.

It seems that skills like Su Changfeng’s could likely come from someone in Tuo Shi, right?

Nowadays, it seems all the affluent families are working for Su Changfeng, thus it can be said that the business world here is essentially under Su Changfeng’s control!

Even at this moment, Wang Wenli found it somewhat unbelievable, despite not understanding what the other two families truly were.

But just as long as there’s a connection with Su Changfeng, they would undoubtedly attempt every possible way to win his favor.

Thus, it can be said that Su Changfeng can now dominate the business world here, being only in his teens, yet already achieving such a status.

It’s truly astonishing.

Thinking of his grandson, Wang Wenli couldn’t help but envy Ye Qingtian, wishing Su Changfeng were his grandson.

Once, Ye Qingtian personally approached Wang Wenli for cooperation, but Wang Wenli promptly rejected him without hesitation.

Reflecting now, if Ye Qingtian knew how impressive his grandson had become, he surely would flaunt it to Wang Wenli.

Of course, such a thing would inevitably bring embarrassment to Wang Wenli, but fortunately, Ye Qingtian had already died, sparing Wang Wenli from worrying about face.

Meanwhile.

A yacht was sailing along the coast, carrying Ye Qingtian and Shangguan Sichen, who had once imprisoned Ye Qingtian.

Observing the scene before him, Ye Qingtian was disoriented, as previously he didn’t know where Shangguan Sichen had confined him.

Unexpectedly, it was underwater, a place none could likely find, given Shangguan’s hidden prison.

Ye Qingtian remarked in surprise, "I never imagined the Shangguan Family could build a prison underwater; it’s really unexpected."

With a calm demeanor, Shangguan Sichen responded, "Such matters are trivial for our family."

"I’ve been working for you, yet now that my actions haven’t met your expectations, are you planning to kill me?" Ye Qingtian questioned Shangguan Sichen.

Ye Qingtian felt that Shangguan Sichen might have determined he no longer held any value.

So perhaps, soon, he would be killed by Shangguan Sichen.

Yet, Ye Qingtian didn’t panic over it, having long accepted his fate.

Even if Ye Qingtian were to feel panic, it would be pointless, for Shangguan Sichen stood beside him, and resisting if Shangguan sought his life was impossible.

Shangguan Sichen looked puzzled as he asked Ye Qingtian, "Why do you think this is the case?"

"Yet I feel I hold no value for you, so why bother seeing me personally?" Ye Qingtian remarked to Shangguan Sichen.

"When you truly appeared, I was surprised," Ye Qingtian continued, "for in your eyes, people like us exist merely to serve you."

"Indeed, you have many such people, so why have you come to see me?"

"Actually, I’m not here to kill you; in fact, I intend to let you return and restore your freedom." Shangguan Sichen softly told Ye Qingtian.

Hearing this, Ye Qingtian furrowed his brows at Shangguan Sichen, unable to believe his words.

When Ye Qingtian was imprisoned, he knew his fate was to be without value and then killed.

Yet now, Shangguan Sichen said he would let him return, even granting freedom?

This made Ye Qingtian feel peculiar, since he knew Shangguan Sichen wasn’t one for mercy; there must be another reason for such actions.

Ye Qingtian frowned and asked, "Then, what do you want me to do?"

To preserve his life, Ye Qingtian needed to prove his worth to Shangguan Sichen, thus he believed even if Shangguan would let him return, there must be something awaiting his attention.

Yet things were not as Ye Qingtian thought; upon hearing his words, Shangguan Sichen waved dismissively and bluntly stated,

"You can’t accomplish anything I desire now."

Shangguan Sichen didn’t consider much before speaking this.

For if Ye Qingtian truly held value, Shangguan Sichen wouldn’t have imprisoned him initially.

Thus, when Ye Qingtian was first confined, Shangguan Sichen already viewed him as disposable.

"Shangguan Sichen, I don’t see you as soft-hearted, knowing my life is subject to your words, so don’t beat around the bush,"

Ye Qingtian said to Shangguan Sichen gravely; although unclear about Shangguan Sichen’s motives, Ye Qingtian hoped for directness.
