The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Mr. Fang, rest assured,” Xiao Shun argued, “I carry a silver needle with me. If anyone gets poisoned, I can treat them on the spot. The sooner the treatment, the less severe the poison, and the easier it is to cure. If I go down with the rescue team, won’t it give them some confidence?”

What Xiao Shun wanted to say was that the situation could be more complex than they imagined, but with him there, he could ensure the safety of the rescue team.

This request clearly troubled Fang Jinglun. After considering it for a long time, he finally agreed, “Alright, if you insist, then I can only agree. I will assign someone to be specifically responsible for your safety.”

“I have a candidate in mind. Mr. Fang, you might want to consider it,” Xiao Shun suggested.

“Oh? Let’s hear it.”

“Yuxu,” Xiao Shun said.

“The Yuxu from the mountain temple?” Fang Jinglun asked, “I have heard that he is quite capable.”

“Yes, and he lives in the mountains all year round, so he should be more familiar with this place than anyone else. So, I think he would be a good choice.”

Having Yuxu along would be like having an extra helper. It would be more convenient than sending a stranger from Fang Jinglun’s side. Besides, Yuxu had some cultivation, which made him more useful than ordinary people.

“No problem, I will try to arrange it,” Fang Jinglun said.

“Yuxu and I know each other. I will talk to him,” Xiao Shun smiled.

“Really?” Fang Jinglun knew that Yuxu had a prominent reputation, and he was surprised to find that Xiao Shun, who was so young, seemed to be very familiar with Yuxu.

After speaking, he looked at his watch. It was already dinner time.

“Let’s go. It’s dinner time. Anyway, stay and have a meal together. We can continue our discussion while eating.”

Xiao Shun had originally planned to visit Mountainview to see if the Tong family had caused any trouble for the couple Ge Dazhi.

At the time, Yuxu had left them his phone number, so they could call for help if necessary. However, Xiao Shun was still a bit worried.

Seeing that Fang Jinglun was so enthusiastic, it was difficult to refuse.

He was not a person who was good at refusing kindness.

So he went to a restaurant next to the hotel with Fang Jinglun for dinner.

Now that the scenic area was closed, most of the diners were workers from the scenic area. After ordering a few dishes, the two chose a seat by the window.

The restaurant was far inferior to the high-end restaurants outside, but the view outside was excellent.

It was summer, and the days were getting longer. It was dusk, and the setting sun dyed the distant mountains an orange-red color.

“I was so focused on talking about business that I don’t even know the famous Dr. Xiao yet.”

Fang Jinglun was not as domineering as he was in the meeting. He was cultured and friendly, somewhat like a neighbor.

“Xiao Shun,” Xiao Shun introduced himself simply.

“Xiao Shun… I seem to have heard this name somewhere,” Fang Jinglun said thoughtfully, finding the name familiar but unable to remember where he had heard it.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Where are you from?” Fang Jinglun asked.

“Stillwater,” Xiao Shun replied.

Fang Jinglun’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he exclaimed, “You wouldn’t happen to be Mr. Xiao from Starline Bio, would you?”

“That’s me,” Xiao Shun replied, puzzled by Fang Jinglun’s sudden excitement.

“Excuse me, I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Xiao here,” Fang Jinglun said excitedly.

“Our city is a mountainous area, and economic development has always lagged behind. Our main source of income is tourism, which is why we attach so much importance to this accident. We can’t let this incident destroy our only source of income.”

“What has always restricted our development is transportation. There are five impoverished counties to the west of our city, rich in tourism resources. If they can be developed, they will definitely not be inferior to Mount Kumi. However, financial difficulties are a problem. Despite the support from the national and provincial governments, we are still stretched thin.”

“The funds that can be used to improve transportation there are very limited. Some time ago, the province allocated us 500 million yuan specifically for the transportation of those five poor counties. Do you know how much the public fiscal revenue of these five poor counties is each year? The highest one is less than 150 million yuan.”

“So, that money has really helped them a lot, and the donor was you, Mr. Xiao. I heard that you donated 2 billion yuan at once, which is remarkable. There are fewer and fewer entrepreneurs with a kind heart like you in this era.”

“Moreover, I heard that your company had just overcome a difficult situation. It was not easy.”

Fang Jinglun’s praise made Xiao Shun feel a little embarrassed. At the time, he indeed had the sincere intention to donate, but his main purpose was for the Sea Spirit, so he felt a bit sheepish at this moment.

“Mr. Fang, you flatter me. There are still a lot of people willing to do good deeds,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.

“But no one donates that much at once.”

“That’s true.”

Fang Jinglun was the second-in-command of this city, and his presence naturally exerted an invisible pressure.

Although Xiao Shun didn’t know his position, he could feel it from his demeanor, but he was not afraid of this pressure. However, he was always a bit cautious when speaking.

Now that they were chatting freely, they felt much more relaxed.

After dinner, Xiao Shun went to Mountainview after saying goodbye to Fang Jinglun.

The scenic area was closed, so there were fewer customers than usual, making the place much quieter.

Only the couple was sitting at the dining table, with a few empty wine bottles and some dishes. When they saw Xiao Shun walk in, Lv Qin was a bit surprised. After a brief hesitation, she quickly got up to greet him.

“Mr. Xiao, what brings you here?”

“I came to check on you. Has the Tong family caused you any trouble?” Xiao Shun asked.

“No, no, thank you for your concern. Please sit down, I will make some dishes for you,” Lv Qin said enthusiastically.

Ge Dazhi also hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Xiao Shun waved his hand and said, “No need to go to any trouble. I’ve just had a meal. I just came to see you. As long as they haven’t troubled you, it’s fine.”

“How are the injured employees in your company now?” Ge Dazhi asked after Xiao Shun sat down at the dining table.

“They all have minor injuries and are fine,” Xiao Shun replied.

Xiao Shun chatted with Ge Dazhi and his wife for a while. Around ten o’clock, he decided to stay at their place for the night.

After returning to his room, he called Yuxu to arrange a meeting at the cave the next day. Yuxu agreed immediately. The closure of the scenic area was not good for him either.

The next day, after breakfast, Fang Jinglun’s assistant came to pick up Xiao Shun and drive him to the cave.
