The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 144: Duan Cheng

Without Su Changfeng’s orders, Cheng Shi didn’t kick Song Yang out of the company.

Although Song Yang’s mistake this time was enough to get him expelled from Hai City, Su Changfeng didn’t intentionally say to fire him, indicating he planned to keep him, so Cheng Shi was unwilling to act on his own.

Charming Night Club.

When Su Changfeng saw Zhu Lie smiling, he didn’t need to ask to know that the Boxing Arena had been taken; with You Daojiu’s help, taking the Boxing Arena was indeed easy.

"This ride is a beat-up car, big brother! When can you give the boys a reason to be proud?" Su Changfeng said with a laugh.

Zhu Lie, in his current position, drives a Santana, and a beat-up one at that, which indeed lowers his status. And Su Changfeng couldn’t understand why this guy, holding 200 million, wouldn’t spend some money to buy a good car.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s ridicule, Zhu Lie’s expression didn’t change much, saying, "I’m keeping a low profile, you see? Acting like a pig to eat a tiger, you know?"

"Still have the nerve to act like a pig to eat a tiger? You’ve almost truly become a pig now, how will you eat the tiger? Don’t you know that in this society, face is particularly important, and with your ride, even your boys feel embarrassed. How do you plan to do business with others?" Su Changfeng said.

"Stop talking nonsense, why’re you here? If you have no other business, get out of here immediately!" Zhu Lie closed his eyes, pretending not to want to see Su Changfeng.

"Zhu Lie, mind your attitude in talking, you owe me 200 million, no matter what I’m the creditor!" Su Changfeng laughed.

Zhu Lie shamelessly replied, "Hehe, don’t you know, nowadays those who owe debts are all like grandmasters?"

This guy really is shameless lately.

Su Changfeng was amused by Zhu Lie’s thug attitude, he looked at Zhu Lie’s lackeys and said, "Take a good look, what kind of boss Zhu Lie is, just like a little gangster!"

The lackeys didn’t dare to join in the conversation between these two, even though they knew the guy in front of them was the infamous coward of Hai City. Still, it was just a facade, so they all kept their heads down, unwilling to reply.

"Su Changfeng, you’re in the turf of little gangsters now; why be so surprised to see little gangsters here?" Zhu Lie said calmly.

Alright, in a contest of shamelessness, Su Changfeng would definitely lose against this guy.

"Currently in Hai City, probably only Duan Cheng is any kind of opponent?" Su Changfeng commented.

Duan Cheng is a big shot in Hai City’s grey area, on par with Feng Bin previously, but because his background is strong, his status becomes rather unusual. Yet, all this time, Duan Cheng’s influence in Hai City hasn’t expanded.

Rumor has it that’s because the Gu Family is deliberately controlling it to prevent Duan Cheng from becoming too powerful and causing trouble. The Gu Family is now doing legal business, still in touch with the grey area but unwilling to get fully involved.

"Duan Cheng hasn’t expanded his territory, but you should understand that shaking his position is still particularly difficult." Seeing Su Changfeng wasn’t joking, Zhu Lie’s attitude also became more serious.

Su Changfeng nodded; with the Gu Family behind him, Duan Cheng is truly challenging to deal with. Saying that is due to the Gu Family; how could they possibly watch Duan Cheng be pushed down?

Moreover, the Gu Family is the largest family in Hai City. Dealing with Duan Cheng means handling the Gu Family, and it’s not as simple as just handling them.

"I heard that the old man of the Gu Family opened a Martial Arts Hall, and he’s himself a martial arts enthusiast. Have you considered befriending the Gu Family?" Su Changfeng asked.

Zhu Lie quickly thought over it and immediately understood what Su Changfeng implied, replying: "Are you planning to let Dao Jiu catch the old man’s attention? Are you crazy? Can Dao Jiu communicate with people? If you let him go, he can just beat everyone in that Martial Arts Hall, but that’s all he’d do!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Su Changfeng couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly; what Zhu Lie said made sense. Given Dao Jiu’s nature, he would either start a fight or turn and leave right away; he wouldn’t go chat with the Gu Family’s old man or anything of the kind.

"If that’s the case, I’ve got to go myself." Su Changfeng sighed.

"So, what’s the situation at the Boxing Arena now?" Su Changfeng asked curiously.

"Dao Jiu has fought through all three Boxing Arenas; he’s definitely more impressive than you," Zhu Lie replied with a laugh. Although his tone carried some mockery, he had long recognized Su Changfeng’s skills. Facing someone like Dao Jiu without losing ground, and ultimately finding a way to force Dao Jiu back — there are only a handful in Hai City who could achieve that.

Fists are indeed the quickest and most effective way to solve problems, but not everything can be resolved this way. The Gu Family in Hai City is, after all, the most influential and powerful family. Trying to defeat such a major family with fists would be nothing but a pipe dream.

After leaving the Charming Night Club, Su Changfeng headed to Gu Changsheng’s Changsheng Martial Arts Hall.

As the head of the Gu Family, Gu Changsheng had long handed over all business affairs to his children, spending his days engaging in martial arts and even studying at the Shaolin Temple for a bit. But since he didn’t meet Shaolin’s requirements, he couldn’t become a disciple.

In Gu Changsheng’s eyes, society is akin to a martial arts world, where martial artists must exist. As long as people are strong, the nation prospers. Having spent most of his life in the business world, it’s quite rare for Gu Changsheng to reach this awareness at his age.

The sounds of exertion echoed throughout the Martial Arts Hall, with a 17 or 18-year-old girl beside Gu Changsheng, sporting twin ponytails, full of vitality.

Though the girl was young, her physique and looks had long blossomed into a graceful beauty. With white sneakers and a baseball skirt, paired with a cropped sports t-shirt, she wasn’t intentionally dressed particularly sexy. However, just like this, it was nearly impossible to divert attention away from her.

"Grandpa, you promised to let me see the masters spar. Where’s the master now? Why hasn’t he come?" Gu Qing’er, the youngest and most favored granddaughter in the new generation of the Gu Family, and practically the Gu Family’s darling, grew up tugging at Gu Changsheng’s beard, treating him like a horse to ride on. This privilege was unique to Gu Qing’er in the Gu Family.
