Yan Hai'an confronted Su Changfeng, accusing him of impersonating a Tuo Shi member. However, Su Changfeng revealed an intimate knowledge of Tuo Shi's internal hierarchy and its leaders, causing Yan Hai'an to collapse in shock and confirming Su Changfeng's true identity to the Zhou family.

Yan Hai’an never imagined the members of the first class, for such figures are extremely mysterious, and considering his own low rank, it’s quite normal to have never heard of them.

At this moment, Yan Hai’an’s face was truly pale without a hint of blood, unable to believe he had done such a thing, doubting a first-class member?!

Up until this point, Yan Hai’an had no way to doubt Su Changfeng’s identity anymore, even though Su Changfeng didn’t use anything to prove it, his words were indeed correct.

But how could someone so clearly knowledgeable about Tuo Shi not be a member of Tuo Shi?

Looking at Yan Hai’an, Su Changfeng continued, "I don’t care whose subordinate you are, but I have the authority now to execute you on the spot."

"After all, your actions have infringed upon Tuo Shi’s rules, and the things you’ve done will cost you your life!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Hai’an immediately knelt at Su Changfeng’s feet, kowtowing madly.

There was no longer any sign of the previous high and mighty demeanor of Yan Hai’an; instead, he looked utterly terrified.

Before coming here, Yan Hai’an never imagined things would escalate to this extent.

In fact, for Yan Hai’an, becoming a member of Tuo Shi required a lot of effort, and it’s only been a short time since he started to gain a foothold.

But if Su Changfeng were to execute him on the spot, all his past efforts would be completely wasted, wouldn’t they?

Even having to pay the price with his life!

"I won’t do it again, I truly won’t!"

Yan Hai’an looked at Su Changfeng, crying, hoping Su Changfeng would spare him.

However, Su Changfeng, having previously encountered Feng Tian and his group, knows just how ambiguous these guys are, not to mention that this matter directly involves himself.

Hence, at this moment, Su Changfeng definitely wouldn’t let Yan Hai’an go so easily; someone like him doesn’t deserve to be a member of Tuo Shi!

"Since you chose to do something that could kill you, you ought to bear the consequences. It’s because of people like you that Tuo Shi has been unable to recover!" Su Changfeng said harshly.

"Ah—"

The next second came Yan Hai’an’s scream, then it was seen that his arm was crippled immediately.

Both Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Wang were shocked upon witnessing this; they never imagined that a kid like Su Changfeng would act so decisively and resolutely.

Yet Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Wang understood Su Changfeng’s actions very well, as Yan Hai’an’s deeds were truly unjustifiable.

At the same time, upon seeing Su Changfeng’s impressive stature and status, Zhou Wang felt even happier, for he was collaborating with Su Changfeng, and Su Changfeng’s strong identity meant bringing prosperity to the Zhou Family.

Even if someday the Zhou Family becomes the most powerful family here, it would be an excellent thing.

However, moments later, Zhou Wang’s expression changed to somewhat unsightly, worrying that the occurrence of such events might create a rift between Su Changfeng and the Zhou Family.

After all, calling Su Changfeng here was to show that originally he had indeed doubted Su Changfeng’s identity, right?

Thus if Su Changfeng harbors dissatisfaction towards the Zhou Family due to this, it would indeed be a loss.

Meanwhile, Yan Hai’an continued holding his broken arm, begging Su Changfeng for mercy, hoping he wouldn’t kill him.

Upon seeing Yan Hai’an continuously kowtowing, causing a bloodied forehead, Su Changfeng finally spoke in a deep voice, "Don’t ever appear within my sight again, understood?!"

Yan Hai’an said in surprise, "I understand, I definitely won’t appear again, thank you for sparing my life!"

After saying that, Yan Hai’an left without hesitation, worried that if Su Changfeng reconsidered, he would possibly die here.

Upon seeing Yan Hai’an depart, Zhou Yunqi and Zhou Wang were about to approach to speak with Su Changfeng when they noticed Su Changfeng’s expression seemed somewhat displeased, which caused them both to feel a twinge of anxiety.

Before saying anything, Su Changfeng moved to sit aside.

Zhou Wang approached and poured a cup of tea for Su Changfeng, cautiously saying, "Su Changfeng, apologies, but we genuinely had no way out this time."

However, Su Changfeng remained unimpressed, just saying indifferently, "It seems indeed difficult for me to earn trust, this cup of tea from you, I’m not deserving."

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Wang’s expression turned extremely grim.

Zhou Wang frowned, stepping forward, "What just happened was indeed our fault. If we had been more resolute in the first place, none of this would have happened."

Su Changfeng looked at Zhou Wang, saying, "Your Zhou Family indeed has some foundation, but if I wanted, I could establish an equivalent existence to your Zhou Family within a year."

"Do you get what I’m saying right now?"

Hearing this, Zhou Wang’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant, because with Su Changfeng’s identity and status, he could indeed achieve this effortlessly.

Yet this would indeed be a heavy blow to the Zhou Family, for if the Zhou Family gets replaced, it would eventually cease to exist!

Hence, Zhou Wang looked at Su Changfeng, saying, "I do understand, you could certainly achieve such a thing, but actually, you don’t need to spend this time."

Su Changfeng replied indifferently, "This time would pass swiftly, and these matters wouldn’t even require me to intervene, so they don’t mean much to me."

Zhou Wang frowned deeply, failing to understand how bringing Su Changfeng here led to such a development.

From another perspective, indeed, Zhou Wang had no direct means to refuse Yan Hai’an’s words at the time.

But these matters were clear to Zhou Wang; higher-ups wouldn’t care about the process, only the outcome would matter, and Zhou Wang’s words in the eyes of Su Changfeng appeared merely as excuses.
