The Crazy Son-In-Law

After hanging up the call with He Guangji, Xiao Shun returned to his own room. Instead of his usual routine of lying in bed and warming it, he changed into a different set of clothes and silently left his residence.

…

In the midst of the moonlight, a figure quietly emerged on the rooftop of Tans Tower. How this person made it up there, no one could know.

Or perhaps that’s not entirely accurate, because Xiao Shun distinctly heard a child say, “Mom, look, it’s Spider-Man!” during his approach.

With a faint smile, Xiao Shun, dressed in martial attire, arrived at an iron door. He gazed at the securely locked entrance, and a light laugh echoed.

“Click!”

A silver needle suddenly shot towards the lock, and the door swung open.

Without a word, Xiao Shun blinked and found himself on the 88th floor. Shortly after, he effortlessly pushed open the glass door and strolled inside. Though his expression remained nonchalant, his infiltrating figure went unnoticed by any surveillance cameras.

“Hmm?”

Just as Xiao Shun reached the door of the chairman’s office, he suddenly heard a strange noise from inside, as if someone was rummaging through things.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Strange, it was well past nine o’clock; there shouldn’t have been any office staff on this floor! With this thought in mind, Xiao Shun held his breath and decided to bide his time, observing what the person inside was up to.

Meanwhile, the faint, elusive noise disappeared from his ears suddenly.

Could it be that they’ve spotted me?

Slightly bewildered, Xiao Shun smirked. If he had been found out, there was no point in remaining covert.

After a brief analysis, he had reason to believe that the individual inside likely shared his own objectives. Just as he was about to push the door open, it swung open in advance.

Immediately, a cold light accompanied by a whooshing sound lunged toward Xiao Shun’s arm.

Well, this person certainly has a fiery temper!

At the critical moment, he even found himself inwardly mocking the situation. Then, with a casual movement, he caught the descending arm with his own.

Following this, he swiftly struck the opponent’s chest with his palm.

Oh, the texture…

Feeling the softness beneath his palm, Xiao Shun’s expression changed instantly.

“Ha!”

A cry interrupted Xiao Shun’s astonishment. In the darkness, the opponent once again revealed their blade, this time aimed at Xiao Shun’s neck.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun grew angry, muttering under his breath, “Are you done yet?”

As the words left his mouth, he gestured with his fingers, and a misty light instantly enveloped them. With a wave of his hand, he deflected the dagger that came thrusting towards him.

“Clang!”

The impact produced a sound akin to two pieces of fine iron clashing, leaving the concealed opponent in awe. Whose fingers could be tougher than a blade?

However, at this moment, she had no time to ponder. Her dagger had been deflected, and the situation was not favorable.

So, without lingering, she attempted to dart past Xiao Shun.

Unaware of the opponent’s intentions, Xiao Shun stepped in to block her path.

A minute later, the battle concluded.

In Tan Haohan’s office, two individuals sat at that moment.

More precisely, it was a man and a woman!

“You’re called Mei, Tan Haohan’s secretary?” Xiao Shun stared at the panting beauty not far away, clad in a tight sports outfit that accentuated her figure.

Although her appearance was striking, Xiao Shun’s focus was not on her physique but on what she had just revealed.

“Is that unusual?” Mei, the girl in question, glanced at Xiao Shun indifferently.

Nodding, Xiao Shun smirked, “It’s a bit strange. You, a secretary, appearing in the boss’s office late at night. Isn’t that odd, especially since Tan Haohan isn’t even here!”

In one sentence, he conveyed two layers of meaning. It seemed that he was becoming increasingly adept at using the language of this country.

Mei understood the sarcasm in Xiao Shun’s words. A frosty layer covered her pretty face, but recalling the one-sided battle moments ago, she had no intention of engaging in a showdown with him.

So, she countered, “Then what are you doing here?”

Xiao Shun quipped, “It’s late at night, and I can’t just stroll around here, can I?”

This secretary didn’t seem to grasp the obvious reason for his presence. Mei smiled faintly, “Heh, are you here to collect data on Galactic Biota, perhaps to counterattack? Isn’t that right, Xiao Shun?”

Surprised by her recognition, Xiao Shun first paused, then looked at Mei with a knowing smile. “It seems Tan Haohan has had you gather information on me.”

Suddenly, Mei uttered a statement that caught Xiao Shun off guard.

“There’s a collaboration opportunity. I wonder if you’re interested.”

“Collaboration? What kind of collaboration?” Xiao Shun asked, looking at Mei with amusement.

Seeing his reaction, Mei composed herself and slowly responded, “I became Tan Haohan’s secretary, even his plaything, not of my own volition. But for the future of someone, I had no choice but to do so.”

Xiao Shun noticed a glint of intense hostility in Mei’s eyes when she mentioned being a “plaything.” Though she was trying to conceal it, he caught this glimpse of coldness. However, when she spoke of “someone’s future,” her expression shifted to reveal another emotion.

“Sha Hai has always been planning to replace Tan Haohan, and I am an important pawn in this game,” Mei continued. Her words held a sense of audacity.

Though Xiao Shun had only recently arrived in Harrow, he had heard of the close bond between Sha Hai and Tan Haohan. However, he hadn’t anticipated such motives hidden beneath their brotherly relationship.

Nevertheless, he chose to believe Mei’s words. After all, she had no reason to deceive him, and their current actions indicated the potential for cooperation.

With this in mind, Xiao Shun chuckled, “Haha, I’m very interested in this collaboration. But one thing puzzles me: what do you want me to help you with?”

“If I’m not mistaken, you’ve already taken care of Louis, haven’t you?” Mei countered.

In that instant, Xiao Shun understood her intentions.

So, this girl has taken notice of my unparalleled strength.
