The Crazy Son-In-Law

Judging by the current market value of Tans Group, which is worth a trillion dollars, if it were to be divided for Xiao Shun, that would be a full five hundred billion dollars. This is by no means a small amount!

Even Tan Haohan, the richest man in Oars, with a net worth of just over 150 billion dollars, found it hard to accept that Xiao Shun would come and claim a third of his fortune. It was indeed a predicament.

However, these concerns were beyond Xiao Shun’s considerations. As he stated, he didn’t come here to negotiate a price; he came to reap the spoils of war.

“If I don’t agree, can you really kill me?” Tan Haohan looked at Xiao Shun confidently, refusing to believe the latter would actually kill him.

After all, no matter what, he was a major taxpayer in Harrow and Oars. If he were to die under mysterious circumstances, the authorities would undoubtedly launch a thorough investigation.

“Heh heh, Mr. Tan, why would I resort to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs? In the future, I still need your help to gradually encroach on the remaining industries of Harrow. But if you refuse, I have means more painful than death to deal with you!” With this, Xiao Shun smirked sinisterly.

In this world, there were far more methods to torment than to kill.

“What do you mean?” Even though Tan Haohan had weathered many storms, he felt uneasy when confronted with Xiao Shun’s sly smile.

“I believe Mr. Tan wouldn’t be too pleased to know my intentions, because it’s really… hehehe…” Xiao Shun’s voice trailed off as he chuckled, his eerie grin lingering around Tan Haohan’s ears, leaving him unsettled for a long time.

Tan Haohan had reason to believe that Xiao Shun’s words just now weren’t mere threats. Since the other party had the power to come knocking at his door, there was no need for further theatrics.

With these thoughts, his mind was in turmoil. He was reluctant to give away a third of his fortune, but he couldn’t endure Xiao Shun’s repeated warnings.

Xiao Shun’s patience was wearing thin as Tan Haohan remained silent. He finally asked, “What’s your decision, Mr. Tan?”

Upon hearing this, Tan Haohan didn’t respond but instead asked, “If I agree to your request, will all previous matters be settled?”

“Of course not,” Xiao Shun shook his head, then continued, “You also need to hand over a ledger to me.”

“A ledger?” Tan Haohan was greatly surprised.

Looking at Tan Haohan’s fearful expression, Xiao Shun smiled faintly, “Rest assured, I don’t need that to expose you.”

“Who told you?” Tan Haohan inquired.

“That is not something you need to worry about. Give me fifty percent of Tans Group’s equity and hand over the ledger. I can overlook our previous issues, and that’s all you need to understand,” Xiao Shun emphasized once again.

After hearing this, Tan Haohan did not immediately give his answer but instead began to contemplate. The situation was greatly disadvantageous to him. Xiao Shun’s casual intrusion into his home demonstrated the man’s power. Moreover, even if he managed to deceive Xiao Shun today, it would be futile, as the man could easily return.

With this in mind, the choice before Tan Haohan became abundantly clear.

“Phew!” He let out a long sigh, feeling deflated, and said, “I agree.”

Xiao Shun was not surprised by this. He said, “Heh heh, a wise choice!”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Half an hour later, he left Tan Haohan’s office with a briefcase. But one should not underestimate the contents of that briefcase. It held the transfer documents for fifty percent of Tans Group’s shares and an invaluable ledger.

For Xiao Shun, the value of this ledger far exceeded that of fifty percent of Tans Group’s shares, as it would allow him to easily control many local businesses in Harrow.

Seeing Xiao Shun emerge from the estate with a triumphant air, Duan Jia hastily threw away his cigarette and asked with interest, “Boss, did you settle things with Tan Haohan?”

Xiao Shun glared at him impatiently, “Why would I kill him?”

“He’s the one who instigated Sha Hai to bully us back then. Shouldn’t we kill him for that?” Duan Jia argued.

Patting Duan Jia on the shoulder, Xiao Shun explained, “Rest assured, that guy has already paid a hefty price for it, enough to buy back his life. Besides, our journey to Harrow with Pearl Commercial Chamber is simply to establish a huge foundation here. Now the time is ripe!”

Zhuang Jin, who was nearby, puzzled by this, hurriedto ask, “Boss, what do you mean?”

“Don’t worry, everything will be arranged after I return from Beiyang. You will understand my plan then!” With that, Xiao Shun laughed twice and walked towards the entrance of the estate, leaving Zhuang Jin and Duan Jia bewildered.

As he reached his car, Xiao Shun suddenly said to the two, “You two go back for now. I have some matters to attend to.”

Zhuang and Duan naturally didn’t ask further and nodded before driving away.

“Bang… Bang…”

Hearing the knocking in the living room, Qin Yu asked warily, “Who’s there?”

“It’s me.”

Hearing this voice, his tense expression instantly relaxed, and he rushed over to open the door. Seeing Xiao Shun standing at the door with a woman in his arms, Qin Yu’s face lit up with joy.

“Thank you, thank you so much!” Gratefully, Qin Yu stepped forward to receive Mei.

After casting a concerned glance at his girlfriend, he asked, “Who is she?”

Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Shun replied, “She’s injured and fainted.”

“Come in first. You’ve really saved us this time,” Qin Yu expressed his gratitude profusely as he quickly carried Mei to the couch.

Xiao Shun hadn’t intended to disturb them, but he remembered that there were some things he needed to explain in advance. So, he stepped inside.

“When I went to save Mei, there were some unexpected mishaps. I reckon she…” Xiao Shun pointed at his head, not continuing the sentence.

Seeing this, Qin Yu was greatly surprised, “What? What happened?”

Helplessly, Xiao Shun had to patiently explain, using the prepared explanations. Fortunately, these explanations were enough to deceive Qin Yu.

After leaving Tan Haohan’s estate, he immediately returned to the warehouse and began treating Mei, who had been sealed with silver needles. Although this contradicted his previous promise to Mei, Xiao Shun couldn’t bear to watch this young woman wither away before him. If she felt burdened by her past life, then he would help her start anew, free from any painful memories.

With these thoughts, Xiao Shun used the Ghost Door Thirteen Needles to forcibly change Mei’s fate.
