The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Mr. Xiao is the branch head of the Old School Society, and it is only right for me as a member of the Old School Society to stand up for him,” Kou Zhengqing argued.

“So sending your people to follow the Wei family? He has a private grudge with the Wei family. You sent someone from the Old School Society to do things for him. Doesn’t that count as using public power for personal gain?” Yang Zinuo asked coldly.

“This…” Kou Zhengqing was at a loss for words.

“Pull your people back immediately. Don’t do anything for Mr. Xiao without my permission anymore. I can overlook the past,” Yang Zinuo continued.

“But this is Mr. Xiao’s directive, I…” Kou Zhengqing said, caught in a dilemma.

Yang Zinuo snorted lightly, scornfully saying, “Mr. Kou is a smart man. How long the association will tolerate a rule-breaker like Mr. Xiao is uncertain. Isn’t the purpose of my appointment clear?”

“I might as well be blunt. It won’t be long before I replace him. He’s simply not qualified for this position.”

Kou Zhengqing and Ma Hong exchanged a glance. They didn’t expect this newly appointed deputy branch head to be a young girl, so assertive, giving them a show of authority upon her arrival.

Yang Zinuo’s words might make some sense, but for now, Xiao Shun was still their branch head.

There had never been a deputy branch head position before. Now, with this sudden addition, authority and responsibilities were somewhat confused, leaving them unsure of whom to listen to.

“You’d better listen to this young lady, she’s right.”

Before the words had fully settled, a young man entered the room.

Just like Yang Zinuo, he wore black-rimmed glasses, his complexion was fair, his face bore a faint smile, he was strikingly handsome and carefree. He wore a well-ironed dark turquoise shirt, neat dark casual pants, and handcrafted Italian brown leather shoes.

Yang Zinuo and the others turned their gaze towards the newcomer.

The term “young lady” made Yang Zinuo rather displeased, as only elders would address her that way. The man in front of her was quite young, and in this place, Yang Zinuo held the highest position, which made him seem rather frivolous.

“What’s your name? Who let you in?” Yang Zinuo was the first to ask.

Kou Zhengqing and Ma Hong initially thought he was one of Yang Zinuo’s people, but it didn’t seem to be the case now. Today, the Old School Society’s upper echelons were meeting, and no other employees were allowed on this floor. However, this man was not part of the Old School Society’s upper echelons.

Their faces darkened simultaneously, their gaze fixed sharply on the newcomer.

“Just an Old School Society, what’s stopping me from coming in?” The newcomer replied with a proud smile, pulling a chair from the other end of the conference table to sit directly across from Yang Zinuo.

“Looking for death!”

Yang Zinuo couldn’t stand someone challenging her authority upon her appointment.

She abruptly stood up, her body soaring into the air and landing on the table, transforming into a shadow, swiftly rushing towards the newcomer like a gust of wind.

Kou Zhengqing and Ma Hong were astounded to find burnt-like marks left on the table where she had stepped on, sending chills down their spines.

They couldn’t help but marvel at the flourishing talent.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

First Xiao Shun, then Yang Zinuo.

Both branch heads were barely in their twenties, yet they possessed extraordinary abilities.

They feared there would soon be no place for old-timers like them.

“It seems that the Central Plains Old School Society still has some talent. It’s not as bad as the rumors suggest, but it’s indeed weak.”

The newcomer was Nie Jiuchong’s adopted son Gu Baiyi, who chuckled lightly, his words filled with mockery.

By this time, Yang Zinuo had already appeared in front of him as if out of thin air, her petite body flipping in the air, a whip-like kick coming his way.

Gu Baiyi sat calmly, his expression unchanged, a smile still on his face.

As the fierce kick was just a few inches away from him.

Gu Baiyi’s expression changed slightly, quickly mobilizing his energy to protect his body, at the same time channeling power into his palms to effortlessly block.

Boom!

The collision between the strong forces resulted in an intense shockwave.

Creak!

Several white marks appeared on the cracked window glass.

Yang Zinuo, seeing that the man had so easily blocked her attack, her face changed dramatically.

It seemed this man was not weak. A typical practitioner wouldn’t be able to withstand her kick, even Old School Society elders like Kou Zhengqing and Ma Hong might not have blocked it so effortlessly.

She couldn’t help but wonder, who exactly was this man?

Her attack missed, and she immediately performed an aerial roll, as light as a swallow, with another kick following swiftly. There was scarcely a break in the action, the air filled with the crackling noise of explosions, twisting the surrounding air.

“Who exactly are you?” Her crisp voice echoed out.

Gu Baiyi sidestepped slightly, once again avoiding her powerful downward kick, which grazed past his body. The air currents stirred by her attack felt like a knife cutting across his body. Had he not previously used energy to shield himself, he would have been hurt by her. This young lady was quite powerful, despite being a bit green. It was undeniable that she was a promising talent. Given time, she would surely become a pillar of the Central Plains’ Old School Society. But in front of him, Gu Baiyi, she was not enough!

“I’ll tell you if you can beat me,” Gu Baiyi said with a slight smile.

“Foolhardy!”

Yang Zinuo’s high-impact kick missed, but she pulled it back mid-air, which showed her leg technique had reached a state of perfection, being able to freely control her movements.

Huff!

Her attacks became more and more fierce, as swift as lightning, charging towards Gu Baiyi violently. In the blink of an eye, twenty powerful kicks were launched in a frenzied attack. However, Gu Baiyi seemed to effortlessly neutralize each one.

Yang Zinuo was getting anxious. The opponent was too powerful. Was her first day on the job going to be filled with such humiliation? She was the deputy branch head. If she were defeated in front of Kou Zhengqing and the others, how could she command their loyalty?

No! Absolutely not!

As she thought, her attacks became even more fierce.

Kou Zhengqing and Ma Hong watched the two young talents in a duel, amazed. The new generation would always surpass the old. If they were in their positions, they would probably not last ten moves…

“I’m done playing. Let’s finish this,” Gu Baiyi said casually.

He blocked Yang Zinuo’s powerful attack with one hand, and lightly tapped the solid marble table with the other. The sturdy table instantly turned into dust. The shockwave rolled over, dust billowing.

Just as Yang Zinuo landed, she kicked at Gu Baiyi. Gu Baiyi met her head-on, his punch landing squarely on her foot. Yang Zinuo was sent flying back, crashing into a wall ten meters away. The wall instantly caved in, and pieces of cement fell.

She felt her innards churn, a taste of blood filling her throat. Her beautiful face flushed, and then she spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, her energy significantly drained.
