The City's Strongest Son-in-law-Chapter 185: The Relationship Between Huangfu Heibai and Huo Tian

Right now, Tang Qiulu finding a reason to kick the two out would be a bit heartless; after all, they are her parents. She couldn’t be too ruthless and said, "If things continue like this next time, we’ll all move out. This place was bought by Su Changfeng; don’t think just because I’m the owner, that the house belongs to me, Su Changfeng is the real owner!"

Sun Mei felt incredibly upset internally; now that Tang Qiulu is the owner, why is Su Changfeng the owner of the house? But she knows Tang Qiulu is very angry right now. Though she usually listens to Sun Mei, when Tang Qiulu is mad, she isn’t joking around.

The most crucial factor is that both Tang Zhenhua and her current living conditions depend on Tang Qiulu, hence Sun Mei doesn’t dare go too far.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is right. Anyway, Su Cang will leave soon, and Mom won’t make a fuss anymore." Sun Mei said.

The next day, Su Changfeng left alone, driving away without notifying Tang Qiulu.

In a hotel somewhere, Huangfu Heibai is still fuming over the events of yesterday. Although he won against Su Changfeng, the victory felt particularly frustrating and humiliating. If this gets out, it would be severely damaging to his reputation.

He is a grandmaster in the field of Go, yet he merely won by ten points against a young man in his twenties—people will laugh their heads off if this leaks!

But right now, Huangfu Heibai has something extremely important to deal with; he must meet a certain person.

"Who is that person, Master? He must be really something if you have to go see him yourself?" Sima Chenguang asked in confusion, looking at Huangfu Heibai. Usually, wherever they went, the big figures would come to see them, and in Sima Chenguang’s memory, this was a first.

"It’s none of your business, stay here and focus on your game, you don’t need to come along." Huangfu Heibai responded coldly.

Sima Chenguang was curious, but seeing Huangfu Heibai’s resolute attitude, he wouldn’t dare say more. Plus, yesterday he was defeated by Su Changfeng, which felt like a lifelong disgrace, so he swore to win next time, thus improving his game was the most important task now.

After walking out of the hotel, Huangfu Heibai took a taxi to another hotel. Once he reached the main entrance, he adjusted his breathing. And before pressing the doorbell of a certain room, he adjusted his breathing once more, clearly, he was very nervous.

The doorbell rang, and the door quickly opened.

Seeing the person inside the room, Huangfu Heibai bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Huo."

The person he wanted to meet was none other than Su Changfeng’s mentor, Huo Tian.

Huo Tian had worked as a bodyguard for the Su Family, with many subordinates at the time, and numerous individuals had benefited from him, Huangfu Heibai being one of them. Without Huo Tian’s favor, Huangfu Heibai wouldn’t have his current status.

"Come in." Huo Tian said.

Once inside the room, Huangfu Heibai was exceptionally cautious. Even though years had passed since he last met Huo Tian, and he had become somewhat of a prominent figure himself, he was still very nervous before Huo Tian.

Because Huangfu Heibai knew very well, the elder before him, whose age surpassed his but whose vigor exceeded his own, had hands stained with countless blood; this was indeed a true great figure!

"I heard someone say a young man almost cornered you into losing yesterday?" Huo Tian asked with a smile.

Huangfu Heibai shuddered upon hearing this, mistakenly thinking Huo Tian was reproaching him and quickly explained, "A momentary lapse, won by ten points."

Huo Tian smiled, "Give that person 5 years, and by then could you still defeat him?"

Five years.

Huangfu Heibai’s face turned a liverish color; he was already aging, his mind less sharp. In five years, his skills would inevitably decline, yet this kid was merely in his twenties. Given five years, he would undoubtedly be no match for this person.

Admitting his defeat wasn’t something Huangfu Heibai would do; he, after all, was a grandmaster in the field of Go, where face was tremendously important. How could he concede before a naïve boy?

"Mr. Huo, within five years, my disciple can surely defeat him." Huangfu Heibai said.

Huo Tian chuckled, Huangfu Heibai thought he was dissatisfied over losing, yet truthfully, Huo Tian was glad because that person was Su Changfeng, the very student he mentored.

But having Huangfu Heibai harbor hostility toward Su Changfeng was also beneficial; what is a journey without rivals?

Huo Tian achieved his current strength by eliminating numerous obstructions in his past.

"Your disciple is worth good training." Huo Tian said.

Huangfu Heibai’s face brightened with joy; Huo Tian’s comment meant a lot to him, acknowledging Sima Chenguang’s abilities, which was indeed rare.

Of course, in Huo Tian’s view, Sima Chenguang was merely a stepping stone on Su Changfeng’s path to the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your recognition; I’ll definitely cultivate him well." Huangfu Heibai replied.

Seeing Huo Tian didn’t respond, Huangfu Heibai curiously asked, "Mr. Huo, this time you’ve come to Hai City, may I know the reason?"

Huo Tian having resided in Beijing for a long time without leaving made Huangfu Heibai curious. What was it that would make this giant come personally?

Huangfu Heibai regarded Huo Tian as a great figure not solely due to the Su Family connection, but because of Huo Tian’s own prowess. Additionally, Huo Tian’s presence in the Su Family greatly enhanced its standing in Beijing. Without Huo Tian, their status would be considerably less; such was Huo Tian’s influence, the mark of a former underworld leader.

"I’m here to fetch someone." Huo Tian replied casually.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Heibai’s breath quickened significantly, and even his scalp tingled.

What kind of person could warrant a visit from Huo Tian himself? This was simply unbelievable.

Huangfu Heibai understood his own position and dared not inquire further. After a brief chat, he left.

"What sort of figure could make Huo Tian come himself? Could it be that a big shot is hidden within Hai City?" Huangfu Heibai couldn’t help but marvel outside the hotel.

Huangfu Heibai shook his head and sighed, despite having a very high status within the realm of Chinese Go, being a distinguished person, he still couldn’t compare to those true great figures.
