The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 335 – Professional Ethics



“You really have a death wish, spewing such nonsense. Are you deliberately seeking death? Do you know who Mr. Shi is? Fool!” Tian Huacheng turned to Shi Mao, “Mr. Shi, I indeed do not know this man. He has nothing to do with me. If you want to kill him or skin him, I have no objections.” Xiao Shun’s arm, which had been resting on Tian Huacheng’s shoulder, suddenly exerted force, pinning Tian so he couldn’t move and causing him to grimace in pain.

Shi Mao, of course, wouldn’t get his own hands dirty because it wasn’t worth it. His life was worth much more than that of a greenhorn. Even if he killed the other party and was only punched a few times himself, it would still be a bad deal.

Kong Xing was out enjoying a drive in his newly modified sports car when his phone rang. He put on his Bluetooth headset and joked, “What’s up, Mr. Shi? Did you find fake alcohol in my bar?” “Mr. Kong, you jest. How could your place have fake alcohol? It’s just that a greenhorn is causing trouble in my private room. I’m giving you a heads-up in advance, lest you think I’m not following the rules,” Shi Mao replied.

“Causing a stir on my turf? That’s even more surprising than finding fake alcohol at my own bar. You’re a valued customer of mine, and upsetting you is the same as upsetting me. Instead of you getting your hands dirty, let me have Miss Liu take care of it,” Kong Xing smiled.

“That works, I won’t bother Mr. Kong then.”

A very innocent-looking young woman beside Kong Xing asked, “What’s the matter?”

He lightly laughed as he laid a hand on the young woman’s thigh, “Some nouveau riche fool. Is there any need to call me for such a trivial matter?”

After saying this, he dialed the number of a bar manager, “Miss Liu, there might be a small trouble at Shi Mao’s. Go and check it out.”

“Alright, I’ll go right away,” a seductive voice immediately responded.

Kong Xing ended the call, stepped on the accelerator, and the car dashed forward like a flash of lightning.

“Tell me, who asked you to slander Starline Bio?” Xiao Shun removed his arm from Tian Huacheng’s shoulder and asked indifferently.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Tian Huacheng stubbornly responded.

“How much did they pay you? I’ll pay double,” Xiao Shun said.

“It’s not about the money, I have professional ethics,” Tian Huacheng retorted confidently.

Nobody would dare start a fight here, and this fellow had already offended Shi Mao. It would only be a matter of minutes before he’d be beaten and thrown out.

Xiao Shun scoffed, “And you, a scum like you, are talking to me about ethics?”

“There are rules in every line of work, even beggars and thieves have their own rules. We have ours too. If I reveal customer information to you, who would trust me in the future? I would be destroying my own livelihood,” he argued.

He had just closed a three-million deal with Shi Mao. Even if he lacked ethics, he wouldn’t reveal another client’s information to Xiao Shun in front of Shi Mao.

“What you said makes sense,” Xiao Shun stood up and sighed.

“Let’s see if your reasoning is stronger, or your life is.”

With that, Xiao Shun directly grabbed Tian Huacheng by the collar, lifted him up and quickly walked towards the restroom.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!”

Tian Huacheng shouted loudly, “Mr. Shi, save me!”

He was after all a “cultured person”, no match for Xiao Shun, and was quickly dragged into the restroom.

Since Shi Mao had called Tian Huacheng over for business, he naturally didn’t want to see Tian Huacheng maltreated in front of him. It was a matter of face.

However, faced with a stubborn youth, he was helpless. At this point, two security guards had already responded to the call.

After Xiao Shun took Tian Huacheng to the restroom, he locked the door, dragged him to the toilet, and swiftly kicked him in the back of his knees.

Tian Huacheng let out a horrible scream and knelt on the floor.

Xiao Shun forcibly dunked his head into the toilet.

At this moment, he was like a cold-blooded killer with blood-stained hands, emotionless, as if what he held in his hand wasn’t a living being, but a plaything.

A feeling of suffocation swept over Tian Huacheng, who flailed his arms wildly, trying to grasp at something in the air.

Crack! Crack!

Two bone-chilling dislocation sounds, and his arms were dislocated.

Ten seconds…

Twenty seconds…

One minute…

The security guards outside were frantically kicking the door.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Xiao Shun abruptly yanked Tian Huacheng out of the toilet.

“Have you thought it through now?” Xiao Shun asked.

Tian Huacheng spat out a mouthful of water, glaring at Xiao Shun with gritted teeth, surprisingly resilient.

He growled defiantly, “There are so many people outside, I don’t believe you dare to kill me!”

“It seems you haven’t thought it through yet.”

There were no emotional fluctuations in Xiao Shun’s words as he pushed Tian Huacheng back into the toilet.

“You still have use, so I won’t kill you, but I’ll let you know what it feels like to come close to death, what it means to wish for death rather than life. You will remember this feeling for the rest of your life,” Xiao Shun said coldly.

“If you keep quiet, I will let you experience this feeling again and again.”

Everyone fears death, but once dead, the fear is gone. The moment closest to death is also the most terrifying.

One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes…

Tian Huacheng, who had been struggling forcefully, convulsed a few times and then lay still.

Xiao Shun pulled him out again, laid him flat on the ground, and quickly inserted silver needles into several of his acupuncture points.

By now, Tian Huacheng had truly experienced what death felt like.

Xiao Shun couldn’t let him die just yet, he was the only clue. Without exposing the puppeteer behind the scenes, there was always a knot in his heart.

“Cough, cough, cough… vomit…”

Tian Huacheng’s lungs were severely stimulated, and he vomited the water that had filled his lungs.

His face was pale, and he slowly opened his eyes, a hot tear welling up in the corner of his eye.

For him, what just happened was a nightmare, just like Xiao Shun had said. He would remember that feeling for the rest of his life, and he never wanted to experience it again.

“Can you talk now?” Xiao Shun asked, still as icy as ever.

Facing Xiao Shun, Tian Huacheng felt like he was dealing with an emotionless devil. He said weakly, “It’s the Yao family in Stillwater. He said his name was Yao Han.”

“How do I know what you’re saying is true?” Xiao Shun frowned.

The art of poison was not something that could be mastered in one or two days. How could a waste like Yao Han possibly know it? It seemed there was someone else behind him.

“I have a receipt. When I took his money, I gave him a receipt, and I have a copy here.”

“Were there others involved?” Xiao Shun asked.

“No,” Tian Huacheng said without hesitation, looking sincere.

“How much money did he give you?”

“Ten million, but not all of it is mine. There are the two villagers, and the trolls we hired, all of it costs money. Not much of it actually fell into my hands,” Tian Huacheng said, his eyes filled with panic.

If he could move now, he would definitely kneel and kowtow.

“Let me go, I won’t dare to do it again.”

Just then.

Boom!

The bathroom door was finally kicked open, and a group of security guards blocked the entrance.
