The Crazy Son-In-Law

The Tan Family Manor.

In the dining hall, a large table was set with exquisite dishes.

But the Tan father and son had yet to touch their chopsticks.

Wei Rong, who had recently become the young mistress of the Tan family, forced a smile and said, “Dad, Guangqi, please start eating!”

Tan Guangqi looked at his wife of less than a week with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

He had always been extremely loyal in matters of the heart.

His new marriage was only because his former wife left him to protect her family.

The divorce had devastated Tan Guangqi.

But in his darkest hour, he saw a glimmer of light.

Wei Rong’s love for him was like a firefly, illuminating his dark life and gradually growing brighter.

However, as he found true love, his career took a severe hit.

Starline’s counterattack was particularly fierce. In less than half a month, they had allied with many Harrow businessmen and taken over half of the Tan family’s empire.

The once-dominant Tan Group in Harrow was now barely hanging on!

There was no hope ahead, only a thorny path.

Thinking of this, Tan Guangqi looked at his two closest people with deep guilt.

“Dad, Rong, I’m sorry!”

“Sigh.”

Tan Haohan, who once dominated the business world, sighed and waved his hand dejectedly.

He had spent most of his life navigating the turbulent business seas and built the vast Tan family empire. Though he faced challenges along the way, he always managed to pull through unscathed.

But this time, Tan Haohan felt that the Tan family’s great ship might never sail again.

Sinking might be its final fate!

He picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp. The strong liquor burned down his throat, clearing his muddled head slightly.

With a flushed face, Tan Haohan pointed at the exquisite dishes on the table.

“Eat something. You’ll need your strength to work!”

Tan Guangqi threw down his chopsticks angrily and said, “Why did we lose to an outsider on our own turf, especially with Rong and the Wei family’s support?”

Seeing this, Wei Rong gently patted her husband’s back to comfort him.

“It’s not that the enemy is too strong; it’s that we didn’t see reality clearly,” Tan Haohan lamented.

Indeed, did they fail because they underestimated Xiao Shun?

Clearly not. They had always been focused on undermining Xiao Shun and Starline Bio’s development but achieved minimal results.

Despite this, the Tan family continued their fierce attacks without accurately assessing the current situation.

Blind confidence can sometimes lead to one’s downfall!

Sensing the oppressive atmosphere, Wei Rong shared some good news to lighten the mood.

“I’ve contacted my family to mobilize more funds to help us through this crisis.”

Tan Haohan glanced at his daughter-in-law and smiled wryly.

“It’s not about money anymore. Once we’ve lost our position, no amount of money can bring it back!”

He greatly admired and loved Wei Rong. Unfortunately, despite her capabilities, she couldn’t save the crumbling Tan family!

Power comes from status. Without status, there’s no power.

The Tan family had lost its image; where would they find power?

Using money to gain power is something you do at the beginning of a venture. Once you’re established, it no longer works.

At this moment, a servant hurried over in panic.

“Master, a group has broken in at the main gate. The leader looks like Xiao Shun!”

“Bang!”

Tan Guangqi slammed the table angrily and said, “Is this his idea of our last supper? Coming here now?”

Indeed, that’s what Xiao Shun intended.

But the Tan family didn’t appreciate it; none of them had touched their food.

At this moment,

“This is the Tan residence. What do you want?”

About ten bodyguards stood at the manor’s gate glaring at Xiao Shun and his group.

“Oh? It seems our last break-in made them replace gatekeepers with bodyguards,” Zhuang Jin sneered disdainfully.

“Bodyguards?” Duan Jia chuckled lightly. “The king of bodyguards is right here; these guys are nothing!”

With that, both men stepped forward towards the ten bodyguards as if they were nothing.

The atmosphere at the manor’s entrance was tense.

“Step aside!”

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind the bodyguards.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Shun smiled faintly and quickly walked up to Zhuang Jin and Duan Jia, holding them back.

“It’s an expert; leave this to me,” he said softly.

The two naturally didn’t think much of it and stepped back behind Xiao Shun.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

At this moment, the bodyguards parted to reveal a middle-aged man in a butler’s uniform.

Yan Jidao was the chief steward of the Tan family and Tan Haohan’s personal bodyguard.

“You’re no match for me; step aside,” Xiao Shun said casually with a slight smile.

During his last break-in at the Tan residence, he had fought Yan Jidao and defeated him with one palm strike despite Yan being an advanced practitioner.

Yan Jidao shook his head and explained, “I’m not here to stop you. The master has ordered me to invite you inside for a talk.”

Yan Jidao still couldn’t fully grasp Xiao Shun’s strength. He only knew that Xiao Shun was an unbeatable opponent for him. He couldn’t even take one move from him; how could he stop him?

Hearing this, Xiao Shun narrowed his eyes playfully. “Oh? Mr. Tan is so courteous; I’m surprised.”

Yan Jidao said nothing more but gestured for Xiao Shun to enter.

Seeing this, Xiao Shun turned to Duan Jia and others and instructed them: “Wait for me in that pavilion over there; I’ll be out soon.”

Duan Jia and others weren’t worried about Xiao Shun’s safety. No matter how many people or traps were in the Tan residence, they couldn’t hold their leader!

So they went together to rest in a pavilion in the garden.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Shun nodded slightly at Yan Jidao and walked into the Tan manor as if strolling leisurely through a park, ignoring dozens of bodyguards around him.

Not even thirty guns pointed at him would faze Xiao Shun.

Without speaking further,

Following Yan Jidao’s lead,

Xiao Shun passed through opulent halls,

And upon reaching the dining hall,

He saw an untouched feast,

Shaking his head lightly.

It seemed that for this last supper,

The Tans had no appetite left.
