The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun’s shame came quickly and went just as fast. After all, any serious matter requires careful division of labor.

Yao Cen was responsible for the company’s various public and private mistakes, while all private affairs were entirely managed by Xiao Shun.

Managing a company is like managing a person, both requiring duality. In certain situations, one must be as gentle as the spring breeze, but in others, one must be decisive.

“There’s someone in the second-floor guest room!”

Zhu Que, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

“Heh heh, your vigilance is quite impressive,” Xiao Shun praised Zhu Que with a thumbs-up, then stood up and said, “Let’s go, we’ll talk outside.”

Before long, the two walked side by side outside. Xiao Shun lit a cigarette and gestured casually towards a window on the second floor.

“Louie is up there right now.”

Zhu Que wasn’t particularly surprised by this, as she didn’t think the man before her was a match for the Duke of Death. Her only curiosity lay in why Xiao Shun had spared him.

So she asked, “You didn’t kill him?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Kill him?” Xiao Shun smirked, then shook his head. “No, I’m short-handed right now, and it’s not easy to come by someone with such ferocity. Naturally, I have to cherish him.”

“You can’t control him,” Zhu Que said calmly, looking at Xiao Shun.

Although she had never met Louis, being part of the same circle meant she had heard a few things about him.

Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Shun said meaningfully, “Isn’t that where you come in?”

“Me?”

Zhu Que was puzzled by this, not understanding what Xiao Shun was getting at.

Waving it off, Xiao Shun continued earnestly, “Let’s not dwell on that for now. There’s something I want to ask you about.”

Zhu Que leaned against the nearby wall, arms folded, waiting quietly for Xiao Shun to continue.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun got straight to the point.

“How much do you know about Caesar’s Voice?”

Zhu Que shook her head. “Not much, considering we’re in competition.”

“That’s strange,” Xiao Shun pondered. “If you haven’t had much contact, how is it that Louis has spirit pattern inscriptions on him?”

At this, Zhu Que’s expression changed, surprised. “He actually has mastery over spirit pattern inscriptions?”

She had always believed that only the Chapel held that knowledge. But now, it seemed that wasn’t entirely true, and this realization was quite astonishing.

Watching Zhu Que’s astonished expression, Xiao Shun nodded. “This is what I find hard to understand. However, it’s almost certain that the technology Caesar’s Voice possesses is more complete than what we have.”

Xiao Shun had noticed this during his confrontation with Louis. At the time, he was moved by the revelation and found it quite unbelievable. His master, with a profound understanding of ancient and modern techniques, had never expected someone from Caesar’s Voice to possess even higher skills.

This was also why Xiao Shun wanted to ask Zhu Que about Caesar’s Voice in the first place.

As Xiao Shun’s words fell on Zhu Que’s ears, it was as if thunder had struck, leaving her stunned.

“How is that possible?” Zhu Que repeated these four words over and over, finding it hard to accept.

After all, only Xiao Shun mastered spirit pattern inscriptions. She had been envious of this skill for a long time but hadn’t been able to study it due to her own limitations. And now, Louis already possessed this knowledge.

Did this mean Louis was stronger than her?

Thinking this, Zhu Que felt a sense of unease and dissatisfaction.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Shun patted Zhu Que on the shoulder and then shared his speculation.

“I believe there must be a force supporting Caesar’s Voice. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for them to possess such technology.”

He was confident in his deduction, even though he had no evidence. His intuition told him so.

It seemed the underground world was indeed deep and complex.

Xiao Shun’s words calmed Zhu Que. She furrowed her eyebrows, lost in thought.

“Don’t dwell on it too much. We have a lead right now, and I believe we can follow it to significant discoveries. This is the real reason you didn’t kill Louis, isn’t it?” Zhu Que asked.

Xiao Shun laughed heartily, “Haha, don’t take me for a cold-blooded killer. I see potential in that kid for a good bodyguard, that’s why I decided to guide him back onto the right path.”

Zhu Que shook her head, a hint of disdain on her face.

If you want to investigate, just do it. Why dress it up so eloquently? ShamelessXiao Shun continued, then proceeded to ask Zhu Que for more detailed information about Caesar’s Voice, in order to gain a better understanding of the organization.

Caesar’s Voice, one of the top three high-level organizations in the world of assassins, ranked just below the Sanctuary Rose but above the Chapel, holding the second position in the world.

It was an old and well-established assassin organization with numerous members divided into three tiers, and Louis was undoubtedly one of its most outstanding members. He was considered one of the most powerful assassins aside from the elusive leader, whose strength was undoubtedly far greater than Louis’.

Zhu Que’s knowledge about the organization was limited to this. Organizations of this nature were not easy to thoroughly investigate, as they had managed to survive and thrive despite the scrutiny of various national authorities.

After listening to Zhu Que’s explanation, Xiao Shun smiled triumphantly. “Haha, it seems we’ve caught a big fish this time.”

Zhu Que replied calmly, “This fish won’t be easy to control. Assassins like Louis have an incredibly strong will. Even if we were to use force, it might not work.”

Xiao Shun retorted, “We still have you. If need be, we can use any means necessary. I don’t believe that even under your charm, Que Que, he would be able to resist… I’m just kidding. Put your gun away.”

Xiao Shun chuckled awkwardly and pressed down the gun that Zhu Que had just pulled out.

He thought to himself that her strong-willed nature was troublesome. Why did she have to play with guns? What if it accidentally went off? That wouldn’t be good.

After silently criticizing Zhu Que in his mind, he continued earnestly, “Louis is your responsibility now. Whether you have to use sweet talk or coercion, I want you to get information out of him.”
