The Crazy Son-In-Law

Duan Jia, still furious, saw that Yun Erdao was dead, and Yun Yidao had passed out, but was still breathing. Duan Jia walked over, stepped on his back, and a chilling sound of bone fracturing echoed in the air. Yun Yidao’s face turned red, his eyes suddenly opened, and after a few desperate struggles, he took his last breath.

At this time, Song Linger heard the noise outside and ran out of the room to see Tang Shishi, pale-faced, with a wound on her abdomen and shoulder, her body mostly stained red with blood.

“What happened…” When she saw Duan Jia, she probably understood what had happened.

Xiao Shun picked up Tang Shishi and said gravely, “Linger, help me get some gauze, warm water…”

“Alright!” Song Linger responded, understanding what he meant.

They were busy until late at night with stopping the bleeding, extracting the knives, and bandaging up the wounds. Fortunately, Tang Shishi’s wounds were not fatal, but the wound on her abdomen had reached her internal organs. Xiao Shun would need to help her recover slowly.

“You owe me a life.” Tang Shishi looked at Xiao Shun with a pale face, managed to squeeze out a smile, and said weakly.

“Did the knife stab your brain?” Xiao Shun clenched his teeth. This troublemaker had made him owe such a big favor, how could he still…

“I don’t care, you owe me a life.”

“Well, we’re even then. Not only did I save your father, but I also saved you, and just now I saved you once again.” Xiao Shun said, annoyed.

“Will it leave a scar? Can I still wear crop tops or bikinis?” Tang Shishi raised her eyebrows, worrying.

“Don’t worry Miss Tang, the ointment my master made, after a few applications, you’ll be okay. It won’t leave any scars.”

Song Linger had patches of Xiao Shun’s ointment on her face, arms, legs… all over her body, which looked quite comical. But this girl didn’t care about her appearance, she was full of energy, brushing off the fatigue Yun Erdao had caused her, and was quite resilient.

“Really?”

“What my master said is absolutely right, you’ll know in a few days.” Song Linger smiled.

Tang Shishi: “You trust your master so much…”

You probably wouldn’t even know if he sold you one day.

Song Linger lifted her chin: “Of course.”

“Mr. Xiao, Chairman Zhuang is here.” Duan Jia said from outside the door at this time.

Xiao Shun responded and left Song Linger’s room.

He met Zhuang Jin in the courtyard and took him to the main living room.

“It’s so late, you could have just sent someone trustworthy, Chairman Zhuang didn’t need to come in person.”

Xiao Shun always felt guilty about extorting 2 billion from Zhuang Jin and troubling him so frequently.

“I’m afraid my men won’t handle things properly, it’s better for me to come and see for myself. Just tell me what you need, Mr. Xiao.”

Zhuang Jin didn’t mind, “Who are the people lying in the courtyard?”

“They are practitioners nurtured by the Harrow Wei family. I went to Harrow a few days ago and offended the Wei family.” Xiao Shun smiled bitterly.

“Harrow Wei family?” Zhuang Jin frowned.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’ve heard of them?”

“More than just heard of, the Wei family has considerable power in Harrow. How did you offend them?”

“That’s a long story, I won’t go into details. I called you here to ask you to pick a good day to send these bodies to the Wei family. What do you think? Do you have the guts?” Xiao Shun smiled.

“I may not have much, but I do have some courage. Besides, the Wei family is in Harrow, their reach isn’t that long. We have you in Stillwater, what do I have to fear?” Zhuang Jin hesitated for a moment.

Weighing the pros and cons, sending a few bodies wasn’t a big deal, he could just send his men to do it.

“If I remember correctly, it will be Mr. Wei’s father’s birthday in a few days. Why don’t we send it over on that day?” Zhuang Jin suggested with a grin.

“Really?” Xiao Shun raised an eyebrow.

“It should be correct.”

Xiao Shun lowered his eyelids, contemplating for a moment.

“In that case, I will go there myself and present this big gift to Mr. Wei’s father.”

“Are you planning to wreak havoc at the Wei family’s birthday banquet, Mr. Xiao?” Duan Jia smirked, “It’s about time, we should just kill them.”

“We are going to wish him a happy birthday,” Xiao Shun replied faintly.

He then turned to Zhuang Jin, “Please have someone collect these bodies and store them somewhere for now. Also, could you confirm which day the Wei family is hosting the birthday banquet?”

“No problem, you can leave it to me, Mr. Xiao,” Zhuang Jin responded.

Zhuang Jin made a phone call, and shortly after, a minibus arrived. A few men clumsily lifted the bodies onto the bus, and Zhuang Jin left with his men.

“You can go back, there’s nothing here anymore,” Xiao Shun told Duan Jia after Zhuang Jin left.

There was indeed nothing left for Duan Jia to do, so he said goodbye to Song Linger and also left.

It was already four in the morning.

Song Linger was injured. Despite her toughness, she was still hurt.

Tang Shishi was lying in bed, unable to move for the time being. Leaving them alone here wasn’t safe, so Xiao Shun gave them a few instructions and slept on the living room couch until dawn.

For Yao Cen, it was a sleepless night.

A staff member at the door told her that Tang Shishi had left Starline in Xiao Shun’s car and hadn’t returned all night.

Throughout the night, Yao Cen felt as if her heart was being squeezed by an invisible force, tighter and more twisted, until she could barely breathe.

In the early morning, her eyes red, she came downstairs. Liu Yunxiang had already made breakfast, but it was difficult to swallow every bite of the steaming bun she was absentmindedly chewing.

Liu Yunxiang and Yao Jianguo watched, their hearts aching.

“Did Xiao Shun not come back all night?” Liu Yunxiang asked.

Yao Cen nonchalantly responded with a hum.

“I’ll talk to him when he comes back tonight, to see what he’s thinking,” Liu Yunxiang declared, her arms crossed and clearly annoyed.

“I’m full, I’m going to work. You guys take your time,” Yao Cen said, putting down her half-eaten bun and got up to go upstairs like a zombie.

Yao Jianguo and his wife exchanged a glance, shaking their heads helplessly.

It was ten o’clock in the morning.

The spring air was especially fresh in the small courtyard.

After making breakfast, Xiao Shun carried it to where they usually had tea and chatted. There were a few wicker chairs and a small round table. The morning sun was warm and comfortable.

“Huh?”

Song Linger emerged from the house, surprised to see Xiao Shun.

“Master, aren’t you going to work today?”

She walked over, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the breakfast on the small round table, smacking her lips in anticipation like a greedy cat.

“I’m off today, go freshen up quickly, I’m waiting for you to have breakfast.”

Xiao Shun smiled, watching Song Linger go inside. He sighed softly. After not returning all night, he wondered what Yao Cen would think.

Let her be. She has already decided that I’m cheating. Going back home won’t make things any better. Could it be worse than it is now? I might as well stay here and enjoy some peace.
