The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Dad.” Zhao Siwei looked at Zhao Hetai with a gaze mixed with inquiry and plea.

Zhao Hetai gestured towards Changsheng, saying, “You guys go ahead.”

He then turned to Zhao Siwei with a serious expression, “The police will handle the case fairly. You, as a child, shouldn’t worry too much about this.”

Zhao Siwei could only bite her red lips, anxiously watching Xiao Shun and refraining from further words.

Just as they stepped out of the grand entrance of the Wei family mansion, Song Linger dialed Song Qingzhou’s phone.

Soon, Song Qingzhou’s joyful voice came through the phone, as Song Linger seldom initiated calls to him.

“Has the sun risen from the west, my dear daughter? Why did you think to call me?” he asked.

A shiver ran down Song Linger’s spine, and she said with goosebumps all over her body, “Can you not be so cheesy? I need your help.”

“What do you mean ‘need’? Just tell your old man what’s going on,” he said.

“Xiao Shun has been arrested.”

“What? Quickly tell me what happened,” Song Qingzhou instantly became serious.

After Song Linger briefly explained the situation, she cautiously asked, “Can this be handled?”

“Leave it to your old man,” Song Qingzhou confidently replied.

“Thank you, then.”

“Why thank me? I’m your father. But let me tell you, I can help when you’re in trouble, but Xiao Shun is not a good match for you. Look at him, he’s causing trouble again so soon. Listen to your dad…”

Beep beep…

Looking at the hung-up call screen, Song Qingzhou helplessly shook his head and dialed the Feng family’s number.

The news of Xiao Shun’s arrest also quickly reached Kou Zhengqing. The branch head of the Old School Society had been arrested – a matter of grave concern. He reported the situation to the higher-ups immediately.

For the rest of the night, the phone of Mao Tongfang, the local police bureau chief handling the case, hardly stopped ringing. The pressure was like a surging tide.

Being connected to the Wei family, he was mentally prepared for this, but he never expected that the pressure from Xiao Shun’s side would be even more overwhelming. Even his superior directly called him to release Xiao Shun immediately.

Mao Tongfang was just a small district police bureau chief, and couldn’t withstand such pressure.

The following evening, in the detention center:

Xiao Shun leaned against the iron gate, speaking to a middle-aged policeman outside, “I see your complexion is yellowish. Do you often experience dry and irritated eyes, and quick to anger?”

“Yes, you’re absolutely right, and I also have insomnia.”

“It seems like you have liver problems. You should drink less alcohol, it’s not good for the liver. Once I get out, I can prescribe you something to help you recover quickly. But you should really drink less.”

“You can tell all that? Amazing. To tell the truth, I’ve had this drinking problem for over a decade. I can’t get through the day without a pound of alcohol.”

Clang!

The outside door opened, and a young policeman walked in with Kou Zhengqing.

“Mr. Xiao, I’ve come to get you out,” Kou Zhengqing said with a smile, “The paperwork has been taken care of.”

“Thank you for your trouble,” Xiao Shun responded with a smile.

The middle-aged policeman opened the iron gate and said, “I didn’t realize you were such a big deal. We don’t usually grant bail to just anyone.”

Xiao Shun sneered and said lightly, “Bring me a pen and paper, I’ll write you a prescription.”

…

“Did they treat you unfairly, Mr. Xiao?”

On the way back to the hotel, Kou Zhengqing, who was driving, asked.

“No, how did you know I was arrested?” Xiao Shun replied with a smile.

“You made quite a stir at the Wei family. How could such a big incident not leak out?” Kou Zhengqing said with a light smile.

“True.”

“In the future, you can leave such matters to us. It will be much more convenient and will save you a lot of trouble. For instance, the Yun brothers would never dare to offend you if they knew you were the branch head of the Old School Society.”

“What about the Wei family?” Xiao Shun asked.

“The Wei family is connected to the government, there’s not much the Old School Society can do. But I will warn them. As for whether they will listen, I can’t be sure.” Kou Zhengqing glanced at him.

“Do you still intend to deal with the Wei family?”

“It’s not that I want to deal with the Wei family, I’m afraid they won’t let me off either.”

Xiao Shun crossed his arms, deep in thought, and said, “We can’t always be on the defensive. I want to uproot them completely.”

“If we use force, the impact will be too great. After all, the Wei family has some foundation in Harrow. You’re not in Harrow, let me take care of things here. I’ll think of a way. If we want to take down the Wei family, we must have concrete evidence.”

“Okay, then I’ll leave this to you.”

Old School Society is a semi-governmental organization, renowned in the martial arts world. For practitioners like the Yun brothers, if Xiao Shun showed his title as the branch head of Old School Society, he might be able to settle things.

However, when dealing with official government matters, Old School Society indeed struggled a bit. This was quite the opposite of the Feng family in the capital.

In the hotel room, Song Linger received a call from Song Qingzhou.

“I sent someone to the detention center to pick up our man, but they didn’t find anyone. The detention center said Xiao Shun had already been released, that he had just left not long ago. My man was one step too late.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Song Linger instinctively looked at the door, “Really?”

“Why would your father lie to you? It must be that someone has already bailed him out. Your master is quite capable, you don’t need to worry about him. I guess he will be back soon.”

“Okay, I see,” Song Linger said.

“When will you come back to Stillwater?” Song Qingzhou asked.

“We’ll see what master says when he gets back. Why, is something up?”

“Make sure to protect yourself when you’re out there. Be vigilant and don’t let that brat take advantage of you. Also, you should be aware of…”

Beep beep…

Song Linger pouted and muttered, “He’s only in his forties, how can he already be in menopause? Such a nag.”

“Men don’t have a menopause.”

A familiar voice suddenly rang in Song Linger’s ear. It was so startling, she looked around carefully and vigilantly like a frightened little rabbit.

“Master?”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

She rushed off the bed and darted to the door, and saw Xiao Shun standing at the doorway.

“You’re back, master.”

Song Linger was very happy, with a beaming smile.

As she let Xiao Shun into the room, she complained, “How could you eavesdrop on my conversation? I feel so insecure, I have no secrets left.”

“I don’t listen all the time. If I’m away, I can’t hear anything. I just happened to be at the door, so I listened to what you were doing.”

Xiao Shun smiled, sat on the sofa, poured a glass of water, took a couple of gulps and asked, “Where is Duan Jia? When I passed his room just now, he seemed to be out.”

“Oh, he went to a nightclub. He asked me to go with him but I didn’t.” Song Linger poured him another glass of water.

“This guy… Even when I was arrested, he still has the mood to go to a nightclub.” Xiao Shun scoffed.
