Chapter 527: Chapter 528: Knocking Sense into Wu Feng
"Brother, I was just joking earlier, don’t take it seriously," the security guard said to Su Changfeng, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Su Changfeng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t hold this trivial matter against you."
Wu Feng ran towards Su Changfeng, panting heavily. With outsiders present, Wu Feng didn’t show his respect openly and simply said, "Please follow me."
Outside, the taxi driver also witnessed the scene, shocked beyond words.
Who didn’t know who Wu Feng was? He frequently appeared on financial news programs, and this taxi driver, aspiring to become a tycoon himself, was very familiar with Wu Feng.
Yet this young man could actually make someone as important as Wu Feng come out to greet him personally.
"My God, could it be this person is truly a big shot, and just too low-key!" The taxi driver was stunned speechless, quickly recalling if he had said anything offensive earlier. After confirming he hadn’t, he hastily drove away.
Wu Feng was somewhat surprised by Su Changfeng’s sudden visit. After all, the current situation in Jiang City was especially unfavorable to Su Changfeng. Typically, he should be dealing with the troubles in Jiang City, so why had he suddenly come to Beijing?
Inside Wu Feng’s villa, the interior was lavishly decorated, luxurious and grand. "Opulent" would be the best way to describe it. Whereas the Mountain Villa at Xianwu Mountain was decorated with a much more understated style. This villa could be considered a palace, with dazzling brilliance all around.
"Didn’t know you quite enjoy the nouveau riche style," Su Changfeng said with a smile.
Wu Feng hurriedly explained, "The renovation was done ages ago; I’ve long planned to change it."
"I’m only staying here for a day, don’t be so formal," Su Changfeng said.
Wu Feng didn’t believe what Su Changfeng was saying now, because he understood, even if Su Changfeng didn’t want to stay with the Su Family, there are plenty of high-end hotels in Beijing. Coming here deliberately could not be as simple as Su Changfeng said.
"Mr. Su, if you need anything, just let me know," Wu Feng said.
Su Changfeng shook his head. The problems in Jiang City were enormous, but he wouldn’t use the Beijing resources, as it was his last resort.
Even if he truly failed in Jiang City, he could still use this line in Beijing to make a comeback. If he involved Wu Feng’s group now, and lost, he would have nothing left.
Of course, Su Changfeng returned to Wu Feng’s here, not just to stay overnight.
"I heard you’re planning to cooperate with the Shangguan Family?" Su Changfeng asked.
The Shangguan Family in Beijing was a true super family, operating at a level higher than the Su Family. Privately, some believed the Shangguan Family was the number one family in the country.
But the Shangguan Family wouldn’t admit to such a title. The principle that a tall tree in the forest is the first to be felled was something they were certainly very aware of.
"If Mr. Su thinks there’s anything inappropriate, I can cease the cooperation with them immediately," Wu Feng said.
"Cooperating with the Shangguan Family should greatly assist your group’s future development. But you wouldn’t be planning to use this opportunity to become independent, right? Because cooperating with the Shangguan Family now would be like clinging to their support, and you might think I am insignificant," Su Changfeng said with a smile.
Cold sweat broke out on Wu Feng’s back; he quickly bowed his head and said, "Mr. Su, Wu Feng never had such thoughts. Everything I have was given by Mr. Su; how could Wu Feng dare to become independent."
"I can swear, Mr. Su, I have no intention of betraying you," Wu Feng continued when he saw Su Changfeng still didn’t speak.
"You should know more than anyone how unreliable oaths are, a few words can’t buy trust," Su Changfeng said indifferently.
"Mr. Su, whatever you want me to do to prove my innocence, I am willing to do," Wu Feng said.
Su Changfeng looked helpless and then sat down on the sofa. He stared at Wu Feng with a fiery gaze and said, "You’re extraordinarily cautious, you won’t even find a wife, let alone have children. You fear that if one day you betray me, those people or relationships will bind you."
Upon hearing these words, Wu Feng felt a chill up his spine. He was well-known in Beijing as a bachelor, and many women tried to get close to him every day. Yet at his age, Wu Feng hadn’t formed a relationship with any woman.
Just as Su Changfeng said, he truly worried these relationships could become his shackles because Wu Feng couldn’t predict what might happen in the future, so he tried not to create any bindings.
He thought he had hidden these small thoughts well, but unexpectedly, Su Changfeng saw through them.
"Mr. Su, I never thought like that; I just particularly cherish my feelings, which is why I haven’t married or had children," Wu Feng said.
"There’s no need to explain to me, but I can tell you clearly, if you betray me, even if the Shangguan Family protects you, I have countless ways to end you. Death is the easiest thing," Su Changfeng said as he stood up and walked towards Wu Feng.
Wu Feng breathed cautiously, hearing Su Changfeng continue, "Life is short, don’t take shortcuts, otherwise a sudden disaster could cost your life when it’s too late to regret. You can’t enjoy a palace like this below."
"Mr. Su, Wu Feng will remember these words and never forget them," Wu Feng said.
"That’s good, find me a room to rest," Su Changfeng said.
Wu Feng finally let out a sigh of relief. As he led Su Changfeng to a guest room, they passed a showcase, aside from decorations and crafts, there was a photo frame positioned at the very center.
When Su Changfeng saw the photo frame, he subconsciously stopped.
The photo contained four people, two middle-aged men and women, which seemed to be a couple. Next to them stood a very young girl, who was affectionately holding Wu Feng’s arm, but Wu Feng appeared reluctant, as if he was forced to take the picture.
"This is such a coincidence," Su Changfeng said with a bitter smile upon seeing the young girl.
"Mr. Su, those are my brother and his wife, the girl is their daughter, her name is Wu Xueqing," Wu Feng quickly explained to Su Changfeng.
"Your brother’s children are already this grown, yet you haven’t even gotten married. It’s time to think about your life’s big decisions," Su Changfeng said.
