The Crazy Son-In-Law

The female reporter reported in a steady stream: “We are now at the entrance of Starline. As everyone knows, Starline is an established company in Stillwater city, having weathered many storms in its history of over a decade. The company just changed hands last year and is now in good operational condition. You may have heard of the emerging health product, Starline Health, which is the company’s current main product. This afternoon, we received a tip that over thirty villagers from Xia Liang village suddenly exhibited symptoms of vomiting and fainting. Two villagers have even been admitted to the intensive care unit…”

“They are the bosses of Starline! Catch them! Don’t let them escape!”

Xiao Shun and Yao Cen had just stepped out of the car and hadn’t walked a few steps towards the entrance when they heard someone shout from the crowd.

Two to three hundred pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to look at them.

With a roar, the crowd surged towards them like a tide, encircling them in the middle.

Yao Cen was quite adept in the business world, but she had never encountered such a situation. The people around her were not the kind she usually dealt with. They were villagers from the nearby area, not as educated, each appearing fierce and terrifying, as if madly rushing towards her. She felt like a small rabbit that had mistakenly wandered into a forest, panicked, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Xiao Shun pulled her into his arms, and a familiar warm scent unique to him hit her. Yao Cen was slightly dazed, she struggled lightly a couple of times before letting him hold her.

“It’s because of this pair of dogs that our village is in trouble! You won’t die a good death! A pair of treacherous businessmen, heartless merchants, you’ve ruined us!” A man with a dark face could not hold back his anger and cursed.

“You must give us an explanation today, or believe it or not, we will smash your factory right now! If we’re not okay, don’t think you will be!”

“My daughter is now in the ICU. If anything happens to her, I won’t live… Give me back my daughter!” A middle-aged woman with a wan and sallow complexion came forward and grabbed Xiao Shun’s sleeve, crying out with all her strength.

“The matter is still not clear, whether it’s caused by our Starline needs to be investigated by the environmental department. If it’s indeed due to the wastewater discharged by us, Starline will definitely give everyone a reasonable explanation. Please give us some room, we need to go in and cooperate with the government’s investigation.” Xiao Shun shouted aloud.

“We can’t let them go, these rich people have strong connections. If we let them go now, they might flee abroad tomorrow, and who will we seek justice from!”

“That’s right, we can’t let them go!”

“I just got the news, some more have been sent to the ICU, they are at their last gasp! We must not let them go, kill them!”

Xiao Shun, protecting Yao Cen, moved forward a few steps, about to leave the crowd. A voice suddenly came out from the crowd, instantly reigniting the people’s anger. The crowd became indignant, pushing and shoving, and from time to time someone took the opportunity to kick at Xiao Shun. Xiao Shun seemed oblivious, his gaze quickly swept over the crowd, looking in the direction of the voice.

He felt that the person just now seemed to be deliberately pouring oil on the fire, but he was not very tall, only 1. 75 meters, and there were too many people around, the noise was loud, and he couldn’t find that person in the crowd.

Then he turned his head to look at the roof of the office building, Zhu Que was already standing there, aiming a gun at this side, and he couldn’t help but be startled. This girl must not get excited and really shoot at the crowd.

There was no leader among these villagers, everyone was talking, and he couldn’t use force against them, Xiao Shun was a little stuck.

More than ten security guards at the door also rushed out, but they were of little use in the face of two to three hundred people.

At this time, twenty or thirty different kinds of vehicles drove over along the straight road in front of the company’s door, and soon after, Zhuang Jin, with hundreds of people, walked quickly towards the crowd.

“Get the hell out of the way!”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Dai Qiang, beside Zhuang Jin, was the first to shout. The villagers immediately looked over at Zhuang Jin.

The people Zhuang Jin brought with him were all young men in their twenties and thirties, and they looked even more fierce and terrifying than the villagers. They naturally exuded a violent aura that the villagers could not compare with. The scene immediately quieted down a bit.

Dai Qiang and a few others pushed through the crowd, and Zhuang Jin quickly went up.

“Mr. Xiao, are you okay?”

Xiao Shun waved his hand: “I’m fine, let’s go into the company first.”

Zhuang Jin nodded, and the three of them walked straight into the company’s gate under the watchful eyes of all.

“Get your people to withdraw first, there are reporters outside, I guess they will definitely make a big deal out of this.” Xiao Shun sighed as he walked.

“That’s what I was afraid of, that’s why I didn’t let them bring weapons.”

Zhuang Jin said, and then gestured back to Dai Qiang to signal that they could leave.

“How did you know something happened here?” Xiao Shun asked.

“The head of your security team had worked with me for a while. He knew we had a good relationship from when we were building a school in the factory. He called me since I was nearby,” Zhuang Jin replied with a smile.

“Thank you for your help.”

“Well, to be honest, you didn’t need me. There are hundreds of employees in your factory. Next time something like this happens, just call them out. You’re paying their salaries, after all. They should do their part,” Zhuang Jin said.

“I only pay them for their office work, not for protecting the factory,” Xiao Shun replied with a light laugh.

Even at this moment, Xiao Shun’s hand was still on Yao Cen’s slender shoulder. She looked like a startled little girl, still somewhat dazed and confused.

As they were about to reach the entrance of the office building, she seemed to remember that they were about to divorce. She gently pushed Xiao Shun away with her arm and moved her body to the side.

Xiao Shun naturally lowered his hand from her shoulder and put it in his pocket.

“Mr. Xiao, President,” upon seeing the two, Mai Yaqin’s face finally looked a bit better as he greeted them.

“Let’s talk in the office,” Xiao Shun said.

Soon, everyone was in Yao Cen’s office.

“Report the specific situation,” Yao Cen said, sitting on her office chair.

Xiao Shun and Zhuang Jin sat on a sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window, not far from each other.

Mai Yaqin, with a somewhat heavy expression, said, “Before work today at noon, the environmental protection department suddenly showed up and issued a notice asking us to stop production immediately for investigation. We had never received any news about the villagers in Xiali Village being sick. It seemed to have happened overnight. You saw it, right after the staff from the environmental protection department left, they gathered at the company’s entrance, blocking it and not letting anyone in or out. I was really helpless.”
