The Crazy Son-In-Law

Yao Han’s face no longer showed the previous color of frustration. He walked up spiritedly, his gaze quickly sweeping over everyone. Then he solemnly said, “I know many of you have objections to me. Under Grandpa’s protection, I indeed made many mistakes in the past, and may have even clashed with some of you.”

“But now, Grandpa is gone, and as the new family head, the past is the past. I will absolutely not abuse my power to target anyone. As the family head, it is my duty to manage the Yao family well. Please rest assured, I will do my utmost and live up to everyone’s trust.”

The Yao family descendants naturally did not know the dirty dealings between Yao De and Yao Han, so they really could not understand why Yao De would insist on giving the position of family head to Yao Han. However, this did not prevent them from looking at the new family head with disdain and contempt.

More of them were unconvinced. How could such a profligate who only knew how to eat, drink, and be merry be responsible for such a major task?

“He’s just an empty talker. How can we rest assured? Just because you can ruin a company in a few months?”

“First tell me, how do you plan to solve the current situation facing the Yao family? How do you plan to deal with the new company? If you can explain these, we will accept you.”

“That’s right, our money is all invested in the new company. Our family is now even struggling to maintain daily expenses. How do you propose to solve this?”

Faced with one question after another, Yao Han was somewhat flustered. He had only ever thought about obtaining the position of family head; where would he have considered all this? He stood there in a bit of embarrassment, saying nothing, until the murmurs and questioning voices of the crowd gradually weakened.

“Have you all finished?” he asked, his tone stern.

Then he continued, “It’s true that your money is all invested in the new company, but don’t forget that the establishment of the new company was unanimously approved by all of you, and you participated voluntarily. No one forced you, right? And nearly half of the funds were borne by the group headquarter.”

“You are all business people. Any investment carries risks. Even if there’s a 99% chance of making money, you may encounter that 1% risk. You understand that, don’t you?”

“So initially, when you all chose to invest in the new company, you should have been prepared to lose money,” a voice declared.

“However, rest assured, as the new head of the family, it’s my duty to solve problems for everyone. This is my first task upon taking office. The Yao Group is still here; what do you have to worry about? As long as I’m here, it won’t collapse!”

“But the most pressing matter at hand is to arrange my grandfather’s funeral. I’m not wrong, am I?” Yao Han paused, then continued to ask, “Does anyone else have any objections? If there are no objections, let’s start discussing my grandfather’s funeral.”

Despite their dissatisfaction with his response, the descendants of the Yao family knew that further arguing wouldn’t change anything. One by one, they fell silent. The room was deathly quiet.

Yao Han sighed in relief, feeling that he had finally gained control of the situation. Just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice rang out from the side.

“I have an objection.”

At these words, Yao Han’s face changed slightly, and all eyes in the room followed the sound. The speaker was naturally Xiao Shun, causing some surprise among the crowd.

Yao Han looked at him and sneered, “You are just our family’s son-in-law. Since when do you have a say!”

Upon hearing this, the first to show a change of color were Yao De and his wife.

They knew that if even Yao Zhenshu couldn’t solve the current predicament of the Yao family, what could Yao Han do? Therefore, they could only pin their hopes on Xiao Shun.

Now, with Yao Han’s disrespectful words towards him, weren’t they blocking this path as well? They were immediately anxious.

Xiao Shun smiled leisurely, “Having a person who is about to go to jail as the head of the family isn’t it harming your own people? We’ll have to choose again later, what a hassle.”

“Go to jail? What jail?”

“What did Yao Han do?”

“Who knows.”

Everyone began to whisper among themselves.

Xiao Shun originally wanted to confront Yao Han after the meeting, but he didn’t expect things to develop to this point. He simply couldn’t stand to see this bastard’s smug face.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Yao Han, already feeling guilty, questioned him sternly.

However, his mind instantly flashed back to the incidents from some time ago.

But he didn’t show up at all at that time, and after the incident, he dispatched Tian Huacheng to quietly leave Stillwater. Moreover, even Tian Huacheng had never shown his face, how could it be exposed in such a short time?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Xiao Shun stepped forward and said to the Yao family members, “Choosing the head of the family is your business. Now that you’ve made your choice, let me settle some business with Yao Han first.”

After finishing, he turned his gaze to Yao Han, “Do you admit to poisoning us, framing our Starline Bio? You almost took more than twenty lives, can you really feel at ease?”

“Baseless accusations, you think you can frame me with just your words?” Yao Han squinted at him.

“You want evidence, do you?” Xiao Shun said.

“I’ll get the evidence for you now.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He took out his phone and dialed Duan Jia’s number. It connected quickly.

“Bring him in,” Xiao Shun said indifferently.

In less than a minute, they saw Duan Jia, with his sturdy arms, carrying Tian Huacheng and striding in.

Duan Jia was tall and muscular, while Tian Huacheng was skinny. It seemed like Duan Jia was carrying his own son, which was quite comical.

Seeing Tian Huacheng, Yao Han’s face drastically changed, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times.

After Duan Jia entered the hall, he glanced around and said to a middle-aged man sitting on a chair next to him, “Excuse me, could you please give up your seat?”

The middle-aged man looked at Duan Jia’s size, like a black bear, afraid that one slap from him could kill a person, and quickly got up and moved aside.

Duan Jia placed Tian Huacheng on the chair and stood by his side.

It was clear that this skinny man was important to Xiao Shun, so he had to take on the responsibility of a bodyguard.

“Master Yao, do you still recognize me?” Knowing the situation, Tian Huacheng knew it was his time to take the stage and asked proactively.

“I don’t know you,” Yao Han replied with a stern face, glaring at Tian Huacheng with fierce eyes, and said with certainty.

“Master Yao really has a knack for forgetting, hasn’t it been less than a month since we last met and you have already forgotten?” Tian Huacheng gave a bitter smile. If it wasn’t for this guy, he wouldn’t be in such a dire situation. “No problem, since Master Yao has forgotten, let me help you recall.”

Then Tian Huacheng detailed how Yao Han had sought him out, asking him to help manufacture public opinion to attack Starline Bio.

He added at the end: “At the time, you told me that what you used was not any kind of poison, at most it would cause someone to have a few days of diarrhea, similar to food poisoning, it wouldn’t take a life.”

“But unexpectedly, what you used was extremely poisonous, almost killing so many people.”
