The Crazy Son-In-Law

“The professional promoters are too low-grade, unable to meet my expectations in a short time. I’m prepared to spend a large sum of money this time and invite a top celebrity to conduct an online live broadcast for us!” Yao Cen declared, exuding an air of confidence.

For some reason, upon hearing the words “top celebrity,” Xiaoshun suddenly thought of someone. Unable to contain himself, he smirked, “Hehe…”

Yao Cen, noticing Xiaoshun’s smirk, raised an eyebrow, “What are you laughing at?”

Feeling the sharp gaze beside him, Xiaoshun nervously shrunk his neck. “Um, I’m just happy, happy to have such a smart and capable wife like you!”

Yao Cen sneered, “Hmph, don’t think I don’t know what you were thinking just now. You were definitely thinking about Mo Yibai, weren’t you?”

Can’t I have a little privacy?

“No, really, I wasn’t,” Xiaoshun quickly swore, without a hint of shame on his face.

“Really?”

“I swear!”

Seeing this, Yao Cen lamented, “Well, that’s a shame. I was planning on having you invite Mo Yibai to help us with an online advertisement and live broadcast. Now it seems we’ll have to find someone else!”

Startled, Xiaoshun quickly admitted his mistake, “Alright, I admit I lied to you just now.”

“That’s good… Here, I’ve already prepared the keyboard for you!” Yao Cen miraculously produced a mechanical keyboard and dropped it under the bed with a clatter.

His expression was just priceless.

Shortly after, Xiaoshun, with a pained expression, knelt on the keyboard, saying, “Darling, I was just trying to save costs for the company. You know that inviting Mo Yibai is much cheaper than inviting those big stars!”

“Alright, I understand! We agreed on half an hour, and I’ll be timing you!” Yao Cen looked at Xiaoshun with a smile that wasn’t really a smile.

The next morning, after respectfully seeing off Yao Cen and Zhu Que, Xiaoshun returned to the house. Today, he was tasked with contacting Mo Yibai to negotiate the live broadcast advertisement.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He made the call, and it was answered shortly after. “You finally decided to call me?” Mo Yibai’s voice, full of resentment, came through the phone.

This girl was still as passionate as ever. Sighing, Xiaoshun smiled faintly, “Heh, I need your help with something.”

After a pleasant laughter, Mo Yibai said, “I can help, but what can you offer me in return?”

“Can I treat you to a meal?”

“What do you think?”

“How about two meals?”

“Do you think I’m a glutton?”

Rubbing his itchy ear, Xiaoshun rolled his eyes. This girl really knew how to bargain!

Then, with a hint of helplessness, he asked, “So, what do you want?”

“I want… you…”

Xiaoshun quickly interrupted, “Ahem, just to clarify, I don’t take concubines!”

“What are you thinking? I just want you to help me with something.”

“Alright, alright!”

Xiaoshun patted his heart in shock, then said, “If you’re free, come to Harrow. I have a project I want to discuss with you.”

“I happen to have a shoot in Harrow the day after tomorrow. We can meet then.”

With that, Mo Yibai bid farewell and ended the call.

“Phew.”

Xiaoshun sighed, tossing his phone onto the coffee table. Those few words with Mo Yibai had clearly put him on edge.

Suddenly, his expression changed abruptly, and he quickly looked out the window.

Danger!

At the same time, on a small hill to the west…

“Interesting, to actually sense my presence.”

With these light words, a man in black disappeared into the woods.

Moments later, Xiaoshun, who had been in the living room, appeared on the hill, looking at the flattened patch of grass not far away, lost in thought.

“Someone was here just now.”

Bending down, Xiaoshun felt the still warm grass. Clearly, someone had been lurking here not long ago.

But by the time the murderous intent that had been directed at him arrived, the person was long gone.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiaoshun sighed, “A master indeed.”

Back in the house, he had already guessed the identity of the master-Louis, without a doubt.

What he couldn’t understand was why the other party didn’t directly take action, but chose to flee?

Meanwhile, in the artificial lake within the community, a tall foreigner dragged a suitcase, admiring the emerald green water before him.

“The game has only justbegun!” Louis smiled and patted the suitcase at his feet. His expression was content.

Treating his missions as a game was where the Duke of Death found his enjoyment! No matter how formidable the target, he would incorporate it into his game. He relished the thrill that came from following these rules, taking great pride in it.

His previous probing was just a warning. A warning to the target: the reaper had arrived!

And Xiaoshun didn’t disappoint Louis; he quickly sensed the murderous intent released by Louis, almost instantaneously reacting to it.

As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. The biting northern wind howled into the house, dispelling the warmth within.

Long San’s mother curiously watched Xiaoshun. She couldn’t understand why he had opened the living room window so wide, nor why he wanted her to bring Hu into the house to sleep at seven o’clock that evening.

Though she couldn’t comprehend, Long San’s mother didn’t go against Xiaoshun’s wishes, as she could tell that something was amiss with him at that moment.

Rubbing Hu’s chubby cheeks, Xiaoshun smiled and said, “Hu, be a good girl and go to bed early.”

Glancing at Xiaoshun, Hu’s young face suddenly showed an expression that didn’t match her age, as if in thought. “Is there a bad person coming?”

“Huh?” Xiaoshun was taken aback.

“Every time my dad said this to me, it was when he went to catch bad people.”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, likely reminded of her father once again.

Seeing this, Long San’s mother hurried to comfort Hu. After a bit of persuasion, she finally led Hu back to the bedroom, casting a worried glance at Xiaoshun before leaving.

Even a child like Hu could see what was going on. How could an elderly woman like Long San’s mother not understand?

Xiaoshun smiled at Long San’s mother, nodding to reassure her, then stood up and went to the center of the living room, sitting down confidently.

At that moment…

“Bang!”

In the darkness, a tongue of fire shot out, illuminating the room briefly as an orange bullet swiftly flew towards its target not far away.
