The Crazy Son-In-Law

After dinner, Xiao Shun returned to his room after brushing his teeth. Yao Cen was packing his luggage.

“Where is the book you bought for dad?”

Xiao Shun paused and said, “I couldn’t find it. I was thinking of you, so I rushed back. Otherwise, I could look for it again. But I’ve already asked someone to help find it. If they find it, they will deliver it.”

Yao Cen didn’t doubt him and just hummed in response. Xiao Shun wondered if Yao Cen could accept that he had a second mother.

“Is everything okay at the company these two days?” The one who used the Gu was still not caught, which was always a burden on his mind.

“Nothing, everything is normal.”

“I caught a person in the capital, the reporter who interviewed those two villagers at the time.”

Xiao Shun roughly explained the events to her. These were things she would find out sooner or later, so there was no need to hide them.

“You said Yao Han did it?” Yao Cen asked in surprise.

“I think he’s just an accomplice. There must be someone else behind this. The Gu poison cannot be cultivated in a day or two. The spellcaster should be a woman.” Xiao Shun explained.

“What are you going to do?”

“Find out who the mastermind is from him, then send him to jail.” Xiao Shun said indifferently.

“He brought it on himself. He almost killed more than twenty people, and our company was almost ruined by him.” Yao Cen said with a gloomy face, sighing.

Xiao Shun walked over and hugged her from behind, smelling the fragrance coming from her, and softly said, “It’s okay, it’s all in the past. Leave it to me. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Shall we celebrate?”

While saying this, Xiao Shun’s hand began to get frisky.

Yao Cen softened and leaned into his embrace. She grabbed his thigh and pinched hard, scolding, “What do you mean, absence makes the heart grow fonder? Do you have no idea what our wedding night was like?”

Xiao Shun, in pain, quickly let go and jumped aside, “Ouch…”

Yao Cen sat on the edge of the bed. She was dressed in a silky nightgown, her long legs elegantly crossed, full of allure.

She blinked and said, “This is the deal. I remember you slept on the floor on our wedding night. Tonight, you can come to bed. But… if you can’t control your hands, I’ll cut you.”

Xiao Shun, seeing her gaze intermittently focusing on a certain part of him, felt a chill. He laughed awkwardly, “Can I hold your hand?”

“No problem.” Yao Cen shot him a glance.

“That’s good.”

He jumped onto the bed, crawled under the covers, took Yao Cen’s small hand into his own, and gently pressed a point on her hand. Yao Cen immediately felt a tingling sensation all over her body and softly lay in his arms.

“What have you done to me?” Yao Cen asked, her face full of surprise as she looked at him.

“I didn’t do anything. How did you end up in my arms?” Xiao Shun replied with an innocent expression.

“It’s not me who wanted to touch you this time, you’re the one who made the first move.”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Shameless!” Yao Cen retorted, her face flushed with feigned anger.

She knew that he must have done something to her. She couldn’t move at all at the moment and was at his mercy.

“So now I can touch you wherever I want?” Xiao Shun held her in his arms, grinning mischievously.

“If that’s what you want, I’ll give it to you,” Yao Cen said, her long lashes fluttering as she gazed at him with soft affection in her eyes.

Xiao Shun was taken aback. He could tell Yao Cen wasn’t being sarcastic. He knew that despite her calm demeanor in recent days, she still had reservations deep down, which would take time to resolve.

He released the pressure point on Yao Cen, lightly touching her cherry lips. They were sweet and delicious. Three seconds later, he found himself kicked off the bed by Yao Cen. Life’s ups and downs came so unexpectedly…

The Yao family meeting was scheduled for the afternoon. Yao Jianguo had a class in the morning, so he headed to school after breakfast. Xiao Shun hadn’t had a chance to tell him about Fang Jing’s message, but they would go to the Yao’s together in the afternoon, so there was no rush.

Xiao Shun was set to go to the Yao family with Yao Jianguo today. Having just returned from a business trip the night before, he didn’t accompany Yao Cen to the company. But he didn’t idle away; he left the house as soon as Yao Cen went to work.

Tian Huacheng had been taken to the Sikong family’s large mansion by Duan Jia. Xiao Shun decided to check on him, hoping Duan Jia hadn’t accidentally killed him. He hailed a cab and arrived at the Sikong mansion in just over half an hour.

Duan Jia was sitting idly under the eaves with a few empty beer bottles at his feet. He greeted Xiao Shun with a wide grin, “You’re back?”

Xiao Shun responded with a hum and asked, “Where is Tian Huacheng? Take me to see him.”

Duan Jia rose and led him to a side room. It was tidy, with Tian Huacheng lying quietly on the bed. Aside from seeming a bit dispirited, he appeared to be in decent health.

Upon seeing Xiao Shun, Tian Huacheng’s eyes lit up, and he pleaded, “Mr. Xiao, don’t kill me, don’t send me to jail. I can compensate you. I have two properties in the capital and over thirty million in savings. I’ll give it all to you if you spare me. I beg you, I beg you.”

Tian Huacheng had been terrified over the past few days. He had been beaten, force-fed toilet water, taken to a hospital, and then stuffed into the trunk of a van with taped mouth. The ordeal had brought him to Stillwater.

He had thought he was going to die during the journey. Even though he was still alive, he was absolutely terrified.

Xiao Shun smiled and said, “As long as you behave, not only will I not kill you, I won’t send you to jail either. I’ll even fix your hands and feet.”

“Rest assured, I’m your dog from now on. As long as you spare me, I’ll be your dog, biting whoever you want me to bite,” Tian Huacheng promised, tears streaming down his face.

“I’m taking you to meet Yao Han this afternoon. Can you identify him? Did you find the receipt copies in my apartment?” Tian Huacheng asked.

Noticing Xiao Shun’s questioning gaze, Duan Jia quickly understood and said, “There was a document bag delivered with him. I didn’t look, but I think it should be the evidence he mentioned.”

“That’s no problem, I can identify him,” Tian Huacheng guaranteed. At this point, he detested Yao Han. If it weren’t for taking on his dirty business, he wouldn’t have fallen this far.

Tian Huacheng still couldn’t figure out how Xiao Shun, who had never met him before, had found him.

After seeing Tian Huacheng, Xiao Shun left with Duan Jia.

“Drive him to the Yao’s this afternoon,” Xiao Shun instructed after a moment, “Wait for my call outside.”
