The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1661 - 1660: Regaining Freedom

Although Ye Qingtian was initially working for Shangguan Sichen, the feeling of being manipulated by him was something Ye Qingtian certainly didn’t want to accept.

Shangguan Sichen shook his head and looked at Ye Qingtian, saying helplessly, "I know you may not believe what I say, but I really don’t have any courage to kill you now."

Ye Qingtian burst into laughter upon hearing this. He knew Shangguan Sichen’s character very well. How could Shangguan Sichen lack the courage to take action against him?

Looking at Shangguan Sichen, Ye Qingtian said again, "Although I don’t understand why you would say such things, I feel that there’s no need for someone of your status to do so."

"So this makes me feel like you’re looking down on me, even mocking me, which seems utterly unnecessary to me."

Shangguan Sichen felt extremely helpless as he looked at Ye Qingtian, even though this did indeed sound unlike something he would say.

But there was no choice; Shangguan Sichen truly didn’t have the courage to kill Ye Qingtian now, nor could he treat Ye Qingtian as a mere pawn.

After all, Ye Qingtian’s grandson is Su Changfeng, and Shangguan Sichen has some understanding of how formidable Su Changfeng is.

Regarding Su Changfeng claiming to be a Tuo Shi member, Shangguan Sichen didn’t even find anything wrong with that.

Thus, Shangguan Sichen realized that if he wanted the information he desired, he had to start with Su Changfeng.

But when dealing with Su Changfeng, Shangguan Sichen couldn’t adopt a superior attitude.

Even facing Ye Qingtian, he couldn’t treat him the same as before.

Hence, Shangguan Sichen said to Ye Qingtian: "I know you won’t believe what I’m saying now, but everything I say is the truth."

Ye Qingtian frowned as he looked at Shangguan Sichen, seemingly trying to find some flaw, but Shangguan Sichen truly didn’t appear to be lying.

Ye Qingtian didn’t feel there was any reason for Shangguan Sichen to lie, but what was actually going on here?

Why was Shangguan Sichen suddenly afraid to act against him?

These questions left Ye Qingtian at a loss for answers, though he guessed that Shangguan Sichen must be motivated by something, yet what had happened?

Gradually, the yacht was preparing to dock.

This indicated that Shangguan Sichen indeed planned to grant him freedom.

However, this situation puzzled Ye Qingtian greatly, and Shangguan Sichen’s unusual behavior made him feel particularly uneasy.

Therefore, Ye Qingtian looked at Shangguan Sichen and said solemnly, "I need to know what’s actually happening; otherwise, I’d rather stay on your boat."

Shangguan Sichen helplessly looked at Ye Qingtian and said, "Actually, all of this is because of your grandson, Su Changfeng. If you find these matters puzzling, you can ask him when you get back."

"Su Changfeng?"

Ye Qingtian was even more shocked upon hearing this, unable to fathom that Shangguan Sichen’s demeanor stems from Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng was only in his early teens, so Ye Qingtian couldn’t imagine what would cause Shangguan Sichen to react this way.

Ye Qingtian assured Shangguan Sichen, "But Su Changfeng is just a teenager now, simply a child; why would these matters be related to him?"

Shangguan Sichen found this response speechless, knowing that while Su Changfeng appeared to be just a teenager, his skills surpassed many adults!

There might not even be anyone in the ordinary world who could rival Su Changfeng!

"You consider Su Changfeng a child?" replied Shangguan Sichen.

"Yes, Su Changfeng is a teenager. How could you claim he’s not a child?" Ye Qingtian replied without hesitation.

Shangguan Sichen shook his head and said, "These matters are something I can’t explain to you now, but when you see what Su Changfeng has done after returning, you will understand."

"Su Changfeng might be the most formidable existence among you, with status even surpassing those from the prominent families!"

Ye Qingtian found this notion incredibly astounding, leaving him shell-shocked.

For him, Su Changfeng was indeed just a teenager, and the capabilities of the Ye Family couldn’t possibly enable Su Changfeng to develop to such an extent.

Much less, Shangguan Feihong’s opinion on Su Changfeng was something Ye Qingtian knew very well, and certainly, Shangguan Feihong wouldn’t provide Su Changfeng with the resources to grow.

Therefore, Shangguan Sichen’s statements seemed absolutely impossible to Ye Qingtian.

After disembarking, Shangguan Sichen didn’t want to explain further to Ye Qingtian, knowing Ye Qingtian wouldn’t believe him.

Consequently, Shangguan Sichen directly told Ye Qingtian: "After you return, tell Su Changfeng I’ll be right here waiting for him, and that his curiosities will find answers here."

Ye Qingtian felt extremely shaken upon hearing this, as if such events only occurred in his dreams.

At times, when Ye Qingtian was imprisoned, he felt he had no chance of surviving anymore. Who knew he’d eventually get free?

Even as Ye Qingtian returned, he kept recalling Shangguan Sichen’s words, yet couldn’t figure out how Su Changfeng accomplished all of this.

But Shangguan Sichen’s stance confirmed that he spoke truthfully, with no jests.

Ye Qingtian felt incredibly curious about what transpired within his family over the past few years while he was confined and what was happening with Su Changfeng.

Why would someone like Shangguan Sichen appear to be so afraid of Su Changfeng?

Though it was unclear what was going on, realizing he could return home and regain his freedom filled Ye Qingtian with joy.
