The Crazy Son-In-Law

Soon, Xiao Shun arrived at a small conference room. Inside sat three people: Tan Haohan and his son, along with Wei Rong.

The moment Xiao Shun saw Wei Rong, his eyes narrowed. He had never liked anyone from the Wei family.

Tan Guangqi stood up, using his thin frame to shield his wife. He stared directly at Xiao Shun and asked, “What do you want?”

Xiao Shun chuckled lightly and walked over to sit by the table. “What do I want? I’ve told you long ago, but you kept ignoring my warnings!”

Tan Guangqi, enraged, retorted, “Stop pretending to be sincere. You previously demanded half of the Tan family’s group holdings. Collaborating with you is like asking a tiger for its skin!”

“You seem to misunderstand my purpose today, Mr. Tan.” Xiao Shun lit a cigarette and took a drag, glancing at Wei Rong behind Tan Guangqi. His eyes sparkled sharply as he flicked the ash off his cigarette.

“I didn’t come here to discuss anything with you today. I came to eliminate you completely because your cooperation with the Wei family gives me every reason to act!”

At that moment, Wei Rong did something unexpected. She stood up and knelt before Xiao Shun.

“It was I who advised the Tan family to retaliate against you. If you want to settle scores, settle them with me. Don’t harm my husband. I promise he won’t oppose you again.”

Wei Rong looked at Xiao Shun without any hatred in her eyes, only pleading.

“Rong, get up! I don’t need you pleading for me!” Tan Guangqi rushed over to help his wife up, glaring at Xiao Shun with barely concealed rage.

“If you have an issue, come at me! If I flinch even a bit, I’m not a man!”

Xiao Shun glanced at the kneeling Wei Rong and then back at the furious Tan Guangqi. He sighed and said slowly, “I’ve given you many chances, but you’ve never cherished them. I’m tired of this pointless struggle. Hand over the Tan Group, and I’ll let you go.”

Tan Guangqi sneered coldly. “Ridiculous! I’d rather die than hand over my father’s hard-earned business to you!”

“Guangqi, let it go,” Wei Rong pleaded earnestly. “You can’t beat him. Without the company, you can still make a comeback. But if you’re dead, what will you fight with?”

She remained kneeling before Xiao Shun despite her husband’s attempts to pull her up.

“I don’t believe it!” Tan Guangqi glared at Xiao Shun and said to his wife, “With your help, I refuse to believe we can’t beat him!”

“Me?” Wei Rong smiled bitterly. “You may not have me anymore.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Her eyes held a resolute determination as she spoke. Given the intense conflict between Xiao Shun and the Wei family and her role in inciting the Tan family’s resistance against him, she knew she wouldn’t escape unscathed today.

“I agree to your terms. We will hand over everything from the Tan family as long as you don’t harm anyone from our family, including my daughter-in-law,” said Tan Haohan, who had been silent until now.

“Dad, you’re being foolish!” Tan Guangqi gritted his teeth. “This is a law-abiding society; I don’t believe this bastard dares to kill anyone!”

“I don’t know if he dares or not,” Tan Haohan shook his head. “But there are plenty in Pearl Commercial Chamber who can do it.”

Hearing this, Tan Guangqi fell silent. He stared at Xiao Shun with a mix of anger and worry.

Indeed, killing Wei Rong wouldn’t require Xiao Shun’s personal involvement. A few subordinates could easily handle it. Given Pearl Commercial Chamber’s current power in Harrow, this matter might even go unresolved in the end.

“You can take my life but spare the Tan family; I beg you!” With that, Wei Rong kowtowed before Xiao Shun.

As the cherished daughter of the Wei family, she had always been proud and never bowed down to any difficulty. But this time, for her husband’s safety, she abandoned her pride entirely and kowtowed before her mortal enemy.

She wasn’t a good person; in many ways, she could be described as ruthless. But undeniably, she was deeply emotional.

Xiao Shun knew how much she hated him due to Wei Wendong’s death. But none of that mattered now.

Since Wei Rong could set aside her hatred and kneel before him for Tan Guangqi and the Tan family’s sake, he saw no need to push further.

He wasn’t heartless or cruel by nature.

“Hand over all shares of the Tan Group and leave Harrow; this matter will be settled once and for all. You have two days to handle everything.”

With that said, Xiao Shun got up and walked out without looking back at the kneeling Wei Rong.

Tan Guangqi remained silent because he was afraid-not of fighting Xiao Shun but of losing his wife in this vortex of danger.

“At least Xiao Shun didn’t push us into a corner; he left us some cash,” Tan Haohan said helplessly. “With this money, we can make a comeback in another city.”

In just over a month, he had suffered more defeats than ever since starting his business-all at the hands of one person.

He was truly scared now!

Thus he issued the first family rule in history: “From now on, any family member who sees Xiao Shun must avoid him immediately or be expelled from the family!”

Meanwhile…

An intercontinental flight landed gently at Harrow Airport.

An elderly man in grey robes attracted countless stares with his strange attire.

Before anyone could take a closer look, he vanished into the crowd as if he had never been there.

“Damn it! Where did that old man go? I kept my eyes on him but lost him in a blink!” someone muttered incredulously while scratching their head.

By the fountain outside the airport…

A faint grey shadow appeared.

“Five hundred years… I’ve finally returned home,” murmured a voice from beneath black robes. “Master, rest assured; I’ll retrieve our sect’s treasure lost in Central Kylian and settle scores with those nine hidden sects who wronged us!”

The voice drifted away as the broad robe vanished into thin air once more as if it had never existed.

How formidable must this person’s strength be?
