The Crazy Son-In-Law

Xiao Shun stood up and followed Wei Tianhua to a quieter spot near the entrance.

“What’s the matter?” Xiao Shun asked.

Wei Tianhua gave a gloomy smile, took out his phone, tapped it a few times, and handed it to him, “I think Mr. Xiao would be interested in this.”

Xiao Shun looked at the phone, and his eyes narrowed. The screen showed a dimly lit room with Ding Yue in tattered clothes, her hair disheveled, crouching in the corner, shivering. Her hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was taped. She appeared extremely frightened.

“Your doing?” Xiao Shun asked without any emotion.

“Just an appetizer.”

“What do you want?”

“It’s simple. I said it at the nightclub that day. Today, all you have to do is strip naked and crawl out of here, and I’ll let her go,” Wei Tianhua sneered.

“Why do you think I would do all this for a woman I don’t know very well?”

“That’s your problem.” He leaned in close to Xiao Shun, grinned menacingly, and said, “This woman is not bad, and she’s still a virgin. You didn’t expect that, did you?”

With that, he snatched the phone from Xiao Shun’s hand, turned around, and walked back to the venue. He sat down at the table in the front, where Wei Wendong was seated.

Wei Wendong’s table was naturally occupied by the most powerful enterprises in Harrow, including Kou Zhengqing and He Guangji.

“Young and promising, Tianhua,” said Kou Zhengqing. “At such a young age, he’s already managing such a large company. When I was his age, I was still running errands for others.”

“Uncle Kou, you’re too modest,” Wei Tianhua replied. “I can’t compare to you. I’m only here because of my family’s support. You, on the other hand, started from scratch. I’m no match for you.”

“If my son Moshu were half as sensible as you, we wouldn’t be in this mess today,” Kou Zhengqing lamented.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Kou,” Wei Tianhua reassured him. “With today’s advanced medical technology, Moshu’s leg will definitely be healed.”

“Whose son was injured?” someone asked.

Kou Zhengqing waved his hand dismissively. “Let’s not talk about that. Let’s have some tea.”

On the other side, after Xiao Shun returned to his seat, Tang Shishi noticed that his face didn’t look too good and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Shun forced a faint smile. “It’s nothing.”

He picked up a plate of snacks from the table and poured them all out onto the table, leaving everyone at the table baffled.

Just as people were about to ask what was going on, they felt the temperature in the room drop a few degrees. They saw Xiao Shun stand up, pick up the plate, and walk toward the front.

Wei Tianhua caught a glimpse of Xiao Shun approaching out of the corner of his eye. As he turned his head, Xiao Shun had already reached him.

*Bang!*

The plate in Xiao Shun’s hand forcefully collided with Wei Tianhua’s head, sending shattered pieces flying and eliciting gasps of shock from the crowd.

Wei Tianhua never expected Xiao Shun to attack him so openly in such a setting. Before he could react, Xiao Shun had already grabbed the back of his head and slammed it down onto the dining table.

*Thud!*

Wei Tianhua’s face hit the table hard, and it seemed like one could hear the sound of his nose breaking.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Immediately, a blood-curdling scream tore through the air.

Xiao Shun, holding Wei Tianhua’s hair, lifted him up. His face was a bloody mess, unrecognizable.

*Clang!*

Xiao Shun grabbed another plate, smashed it on the table, leaving a sharp shard in his hand. He held it to Wei Tianhua’s throat and coldly asked, “Where is she?”

The entire room went dead silent.

Everyone stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them.

No one could have imagined that someone would start a fight in such a public and formal setting, let alone dare to attack Wei Tianhua so brazenly. To them, this was an unforgivable crime.

“Who is this guy? Is he here to cause trouble?”

“Causing trouble here is asking for death, right? I think he must be some hothead from somewhere else. How could he even dare to touch Wei Tianhua, and in this kind of setting, with so many people watching? He’s definitely doomed.”

“He’d better pray for a life sentence, so he can spend the rest of his life in jail. Otherwise, the Wei family will make his life a living hell outside.”

The crowd whispered amongst themselves.

Even powerful figures like Kou Zhengqing were taken aback. Anyone with a name in Harrow knew that the Wei family was not only strong in business, but had also been working in the government for generations.

As the saying goes, ordinary people can’t fight the government. Even semi-official organizations like Old School Society had to show some respect when dealing with the Wei family. Today, Xiao Shun, as a branch head, attacked Wei Tianhua, a prominent figure in the third generation of the Wei family. The Wei family would never let this go.

He Guangji was equally shocked.

He wasn’t afraid of the Wei family’s power, as they were only influential in Harrow or, at most, Oakland. Love Media was a well-known media company in the country.

His concern was that Xiao Shun might end up in jail for this, and if he discovered some valuable resources, they’d have a hard time finding someone else who could refine pellets like Xiao Shun. After all, Xiao Shun was strong, but he couldn’t fight against the law.

Wei Wendong was furious. This was a government-sponsored event and, as the person in charge, it was also his event.

The fact that someone dared to cause trouble here, and that the person being attacked was his own nephew, right under his watchful eye, was not only a challenge to the government but also a provocation to him and the entire Wei family. It was unbearable.

“Where did this madman come from? He has no respect for the law. Let go at once!” Wei Wendong’s hand trembled as he pointed at Xiao Shun and shouted.

Xiao Shun drooped his eyelids, seemingly indifferent to him. He didn’t even glance at Wei Wendong, and the air around him felt as if it was filled with frost, chilling to the core.

“Where is the person?” The sharp piece of porcelain in his hand cut through skin and flesh.

Wei Tianhua clenched his throat, his Adam’s apple moving up and down, showing both aggression and weakness. “Go ahead and kill me if you dare! Do you think you can get away with murder in front of so many witnesses?!”

“Mr. Xiao, don’t be impulsive! Let’s talk this through,” He Guangji said, frowning in concern.

“Yeah, what happened? Mr. Xiao, you have to say something,” Kou Zhengqing said bravely.

Xiao Shun held the porcelain piece in one hand and pulled a cell phone from Wei Tianhua’s pocket with the other. He threw it on the table and emotionlessly said, “See for yourself.”

He Guangji picked up the phone and quickly found the video featuring Ding Yue. He then handed the phone to Kou Zhengqing and Wei Wendong, asking, “Who is this girl?”

“My assistant,” Xiao Shun replied, looking at him.

After watching the video, Kou Zhengqing and Wei Wendong roughly understood what had happened and exchanged glances. The latter slightly softened his tone and said with an air of authority, “There are national laws and family rules. Since Wei Tianhua has made a mistake, the law will naturally punish him. If everyone resorts to vigilante justice like you, the world would be in chaos. What’s the purpose of the law?”

“The law is the law’s business, and I am mine,” Xiao Shun replied.

Wei Wendong’s face darkened instantly, warning, “Are you challenging authority?”

Xiao Shun didn’t bother to respond and instead coldly stared at Wei Tianhua in front of him.
