Chapter 390: Chapter 391 Stay or Leave
Li Chen had been hesitating on this issue. If he didn’t leave, he would definitely be implicated by Su Changfeng. However, if he just left like this, he would surely miss a good show.
"In your opinion, can Su Changfeng laugh till the end?" Li Chen asked.
The lady boss couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Are you saying Su Changfeng can defeat Jia Siqi on Heaven Island?"
These words indeed sounded a bit ridiculous, and no one would believe it, because the Jia Family had been on Heaven Island for many years and had a rather deep foundation. How could an outsider like Su Changfeng possibly handle it?
"Is there not even a little chance?" Li Chen asked unwillingly.
"If he really can deal with the Jia Family, I’d be willing to be his slave, but this is simply impossible. The Jia Family isn’t that simple. Anyone planning to develop on Heaven Island who doesn’t notify the Jia Family in advance will basically lose all their money. This shows how powerful the Jia Family is on Heaven Island," the lady boss said.
What the lady boss said left Li Chen deep in thought. He definitely wasn’t as familiar with the specific situation of Heaven Island as the lady boss, who had lived there for a long time. Now that she said this, the chances of Su Changfeng being able to confront the Jia Family really seemed minimal.
However, Li Chen had an intuition that this time he shouldn’t leave first; otherwise, he might miss an opportunity that could change his life.
"Do you also think I should leave now?" Li Chen asked.
"Of course, what are you hesitating about?" The lady boss said decisively, then looked at Li Chen with curiosity and asked, "Why don’t you want to leave? Are you planning to get some advantages from Su Changfeng?"
Li Chen shook his head. He hadn’t even thought about any benefits. He just believed this was a rare opportunity, perhaps a chance to establish a good relationship with Su Changfeng.
If he could work under Su Changfeng in the future, his life might completely change because of this.
"Do you think I really like photography? I’m just forced by circumstances. If there’s a chance to change my current life, why wouldn’t I seize it?" Li Chen said.
"Your decision now is somewhat unwise. He’s bound to lose this time, and it will be a terrible loss," said the lady boss with a helpless expression.
A terrible loss?
The reason Li Chen had hope for Su Changfeng was because of the incident at Jiangcheng Jiuwu Square. At that time, the entire Jiang City thought Su Changfeng would kneel before Zhou Chaohai and the others. That situation was considered a certain defeat for Su Changfeng.
However, the final result left everyone astounded. Who would have thought that it was Zhou Chaohai kneeling on the ground, not Su Changfeng?
It was precisely because of the strong comeback at Jiuwu Square that Li Chen hesitated, or else he would have returned to Jiang City by now.
"People in Jiang City said the same as you at that time, but the final result was shocking to everyone," Li Chen said.
Seeing Li Chen so persistent, the lady boss suddenly had an idea and said, "If Su Changfeng is really that strong, then the outcome for that Zhou Chaohai you mentioned would likely not be any better. Why don’t you contact your friends in Jiang City and ask about the current situation in Jiang City."
This suggestion made Li Chen realize something. It was indeed a way to verify Su Changfeng’s strength, though the circumstances of Jiang City and Heaven Island were somewhat different. At least it could prove how capable Su Changfeng really was.
Li Chen took out his phone and called his friend.
"Old Chen, has anything significant happened in Jiang City recently?" Li Chen asked after the call connected.
After a moment, Li Chen’s expression turned particularly shocked. He, who was standing, suddenly sat down on the bed as if bankrupt.
Seeing this, the lady boss paused her actions.
"Really? You’re not joking, are you?"
"It has escalated to such an extent?!"
"Alright, I understand. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
The lady boss, seeing Li Chen hadn’t spoken, asked anxiously, "What on earth is the situation? Tell me what’s going on in Jiang City!"
Li Chen adjusted his breathing and said, "The group that Zhou Chaohai was part of has now gone bankrupt, and the current structure of Jiang City has been completely shattered. Now, only the Shen Family Group and the Gu Family in Jiang City can surpass them."
Although the lady boss wasn’t familiar with the situation in Jiang City, she had heard from Li Chen before that Zhou Chaohai’s group had significant power there. Yet they had actually gone bankrupt!
"This... could Su Changfeng do this?" The lady boss widened her eyes, her voice trembling. It was her first time encountering someone so powerful. Such a feat, even on the Jia Family’s Heaven Island, wouldn’t be easy to accomplish.
"If not him, then who else?" Li Chen said with a bitter smile. Zhou Chaohai had provoked Su Changfeng, and in less than three days, his group had gone bankrupt. If anyone said there was no connection between these events, no one would believe it.
The lady boss also breathed heavily and dumbfoundedly said, "Oh my god, what kind of person is this young man? He hasn’t been on Heaven Island for long, and he has already driven Zhou Chaohai bankrupt!"
"Exactly, he hasn’t been here long, yet Zhou Chaohai’s group has been dealt with by him. Do you still think he can’t contend with the Jia Family?" Li Chen laughed.
This soul-searching question left the lady boss speechless. She had genuinely thought this way before, convinced that Su Changfeng couldn’t possibly be a match for the Jia Family. However, after hearing about the recent events in Jiang City, perhaps she had underestimated Su Changfeng.
"But this is still Heaven Island," the lady boss said.
"Maybe in Su Changfeng’s eyes, he’s not just any ’fish out of water.’ Although the saying goes, ’a dragon doesn’t cross the river unless it’s fierce,’ what if he’s a mighty dragon that even the domestic realm can’t underestimate?" Li Chen said.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the lady boss rolled her eyes dramatically. Although she admitted that Su Changfeng was quite formidable, he wasn’t as extraordinary as Li Chen made him out to be, was he?
"You’re crazy to think of rising to the top. If he’s really as powerful as you say, is he someone you could know?" the lady boss said.
"No matter what kind of person he is, I choose not to leave. At least this is my opportunity, and I don’t want to continue living an ordinary life any longer," Li Chen said.
Li Chen’s final remark is a phenomenon frequently observed in society, experienced by many who live an average life, entirely ordinary, with no prospects, dying in utter mediocrity. While such a life can be described as comfortable, it’s a tad too mundane.
