The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 542: Killing Two Birds with One Stone



Of course, Louis’s current situation was not something Xiao Shun intended to tell Mei about. If the other party thought that guy was already dead, then so be it!

With a faint smile, Xiao Shun continued, “If we’re going to work together, what kind of help can you provide me?”

Upon hearing this, Mei reached up and brushed a strand of hair away from her ear, smiling, “As Tan Haohan’s secretary, I know a lot of things about him. Is that enough for you?”

Having been by Tan Haohan’s side as his secretary for two years, Mei had long held both the man and his secrets in her hands with her meticulous work style and alluring figure, capable of providing Xiao Shun with a wealth of information.

“Haha, that’s really great!” Xiao Shun laughed, a relaxed expression appearing on his face.

Indeed, if he collaborated with Mei, he could coordinate with her, gaining advance knowledge of Tan Haohan’s moves against Starline Bio. This would undoubtedly bring him many benefits.

At this moment, he looked at Mei with some surprise, “By the way, since you can help me, how can I help you in return?”

Collaboration had always been a mutually beneficial relationship; one side couldn’t take all the advantages while the other received nothing. In this collaboration, Xiao Shun could obtain various information about Galaxy Biotech from Mei, but what could she gain from him?

In response to Xiao Shun’s question, Mei casually replied, “It’s simple, I want you to help me find a ledger in the Tan family.”

“A ledger?” Xiao Shun was puzzled.

“Yes!” Mei nodded and continued, “This ledger contains some incriminating records. If you can get it, Tan Haohan will undoubtedly be defeated.”

Mei did not choose to conceal these things, as she had already told Xiao Shun about her original intention of lurking by Tan Haohan’s side from the beginning.

Xiao Shun smiled faintly, “It seems like you’ve been planning this for a long time.”

For him, sneaking into the Tan family to find a ledger wasn’t particularly difficult. Even if the mansion was heavily guarded, his skills were more than enough to handle it.

The only thing that interested Xiao Shun was what kind of content was recorded in this ledger that could bring down the wealthy Tan family. Mei also showed a strong interest in this, but she didn’t know what was written in it. Perhaps Sha Hai, who gave her this command, might know something.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Shun asked seriously, “I have a question for you.”

“What is it?”

“Is this cooperation between you and me, or does it involve Sha Hai as well?”

“That depends on what you think.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“What do I think?”

Looking at Mei’s meaningful expression, Xiao Shun pondered for a moment.

Seeing this, Mei smiled and said, “Personally, I think if Sha Hai controls Harrow, it would be greatly beneficial for both Starline Bio and the Pearl Commercial Chamber.”

Her words suddenly enlightened Xiao Shun. If Sha Hai became the boss of Persimmon Commercial, it would be much easier to incorporate it into the Pearl Commercial Chamber, especially since Xiao Shun had given this person a lesson before. Furthermore, if Tans Group fell, Starline Bio would have no competitors, giving him free rein in the vast Harrow market. This was undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone!

Realizing this, Xiao Shun smiled and also developed a sense of admiration for Mei.

“Hehe, you’re quite the persuader.”

In Mei’s wise eyes, there was a hint of wisdom as she lightly said, “It seems you’ve made up your mind. Do you need me to arrange the meeting for you?”

Xiao Shun shook his head, “Rather than arranging a meeting, I’d prefer if you could provide me with detailed information about Galaxy Biotech as soon as possible, especially regarding their products.”

Upon hearing this, Mei thought for a moment and replied, “At the latest, the information will be in your hands the day after tomorrow. As for the ledger, I trust Mr. Xiao won’t disappoint me, after all, the Tan family is so large, finding a ledger won’t be an easy task. Moreover, Tan Haohan will definitely hide such an important item well.”

“I can give you some free intelligence as well. Tan Haohan has secretly built a database in the Tan family. It’s very likely that he has hidden it there.”

With a smile on her face, Mei provided Xiao Shun with another useful piece of information in an instant.

Xiao Shun silently thought to himself that if Tan Haohan were to fall this time, it would all be thanks to this formidable woman before him. This raised his opinion of Mei once again.

Afterward, the two exchanged their contact information and left on their own.

When he returned home, it was already past eleven at night. Xiao Shun tiptoed into the bedroom, only to be met with Yao Cen’s piercing gaze.

“Where have you been? It’s late,” she asked, her tone laced with irritation.

Xiao Shun chuckled, “The weather outside seemed nice, so I went out for a stroll.”

Yao Cen’s temper flared, “Nice weather? It’s pitch black and windy out there! Tell me the truth, or you’ll be sleeping outside tonight!”

Xiao Shun relented, “Well, I… I sneaked into Tans Group to try my luck.”

Yao Cen sat up, eagerly asking, “And what happened?”

“Hehe, it went quite well, actually,” Xiao Shun said with a sly grin, as he revealed the details of his encounter with Mei.

Upon hearing the story, Yao Cen couldn’t contain her joy, “I never thought she was a double agent. But this works greatly in our favor!”

Proudly nodding, Xiao Shun added, “Indeed, she also promised to provide us with Galaxy Biotech’s information. Once we have the product details, handling Mo Yibai’s contract will be a piece of cake.”

While Xiao Shun was basking in their success, Yao Cen seemed concerned, “I don’t trust this Sha Hai character. If he can scheme against Tan Haohan in secret, who’s to say he won’t do the same to us?”

“Rest assured, he won’t get that chance,” Xiao Shun assured her, his face devoid of neglect, indicating that he had a plan to counter any such move.

Seeing his confidence, Yao Cen nodded, “If you’re that sure, then go ahead and do it.”
