The Crazy Son-In-Law

The next day. In a spacious office at the top level, Yang Zinuo and several high-ranking members of the Old School Society were waiting in serious array.

Gu Baiyi arrived as scheduled, immaculate in a linen white shirt and a pair of white casual pants, truly living up to his name. His thick, naturally curly hair made him look like a character out of a comic. He lazily scanned over Yang Zinuo and the others, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“It seems that your Mr. Xiao has disappointed me.”

Yang Zinuo approached earnestly, pressing her thin lips together tightly, slightly nodding her head, and feigning helplessness, she said: “Mr. Xiao is presumptuous, doesn’t know his place. After I contacted him yesterday, he brazenly demanded that Master Dragon should meet him personally. He truly deserves to be punished.”

“Having such a branch head is a disgrace to both our Oakland Old School Society and the entire Central Plains Old School Society…”

“So, you plan to ask me to help you clean up the mess?” Gu Baiyi interjected with a faint smile.

Yang Zinuo was speechless. As a deputy branch head, she did not have such authority. Besides, even if they were to clean house, they wouldn’t need an outsider’s help.

The other Old School Society executives, apart from Kou Zhengqing, had never met their Mr. Xiao, and had no sympathy for him. However, upon hearing Yang Zinuo’s words, they all furrowed their brows.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, “Of course, there’s no need for Master Dragon to intervene. We will handle it ourselves.”

“Prepare the car. Before you clean house, let me get a glimpse of this Mr. Xiao and see what he’s all about,” Gu Baiyi said calmly.

“The car is ready and can depart at any time,” Yang Zinuo said, her heart secretly rejoicing.

“Let’s go,” Gu Baiyi said.

Before long, five luxury cars slowly drove out from the underground parking of Harrow Tower.

Ma Hong stayed behind. Yang Zinuo, Kou Zhengqing, and several high-ranking Old School Society members left, heading towards Stillwater with great momentum.

“How does Master Dragon plan to deal with Mr. Xiao?”

In one of the top-of-the-line Rolls Royces, Yang Zinuo was driving. Only she and Gu Baiyi were in the car, and she asked the question while driving.

Even the most powerful woman has a little girl living in her heart. Besides, Yang Zinuo was only in her early twenties. Now, sitting next to the man she admired, her face was calm, but her heart was pounding.

“I said yesterday that I would understand the situation at that time, and by the way, bring him back to the Brighouse headquarters. Our Master wants to see him,” Gu Baiyi replied softly, his eyes half-closed.

“And then?” Yang Zinuo asked.

“Then… that’s not for me to decide.” Gu Baiyi naturally knew what she was thinking from what he heard her say in the conference room yesterday.

Yang Zinuo said “oh”, then added, “There is water in the refrigerator behind. If you are thirsty, you can get it.”

Gu Baiyi’s mouth curled up slightly, but he ignored her.

Yang Zinuo’s heart was already pounding, her face blushing.

…

Today, Xiao Shun did not go to the mountains to find medical books, but accompanied Yao Cen to the company.

Early in the morning, Kou Zhengqing secretly informed him that the so-called Master Dragon had set off from Harrow and was heading towards Stillwater. Since trouble had come looking for him, he naturally would not dodge it.

He didn’t know about Nie Yue’s situation at the moment. When he made his move, he had control. He only wanted to teach Nie Yue a lesson. There might be some superficial injuries, at most a mild concussion, but it definitely wouldn’t be fatal.

In the contest among cultivators, such injuries were not considered injuries at all. It was clear that the other party was bullying him with their power. Additionally, he wanted to see the strength of a Master Dragon who could make even Kou Zhengqing feel awe.

Yao Cen was not worried about him. She was used to the idea that Xiao Shun was capable of anything. She also believed that no matter what happened, he could resolve it well. At least that’s how she comforted herself.

Around two o’clock in the afternoon, five luxury cars grandly stopped at the entrance of Starline Bio.

There was one more person in Yang Zinuo’s car, an old man with a hooked nose, Su Yin, a member of the Old School Society stationed in Stillwater.

“Are you sure Mr. Xiao is here?” Yang Zinuo squinted at the nearby office building and asked.

“Positive. After receiving your call yesterday, we tracked Mr. Xiao. He entered this morning and hasn’t come out,” Su Yin replied confidently.

“Shall we go in?” Yang Zinuo turned to look at Gu Baiyi.

“No need to go in, call him to come out. I’ve come to the doorstep, he should at least come out to greet us,” Gu Baiyi said, “He probably wouldn’t like us to disturb his family and employees.”

Yang Zinuo nodded and dialed Xiao Shun’s number on her phone. At that moment, Xiao Shun was in his office, teaching Zhu Que to carve inscriptions. He picked up the phone, and Yang Zinuo’s voice, filled with coldness, came through, “Mr. Xiao, you’re quite bold. Master Dragon is already at your factory’s doorstep. If you don’t want to involve others, come out immediately.” Before Xiao Shun could speak, she had already hung up.

Putting down the bullet in his hand, Xiao Shun stood up and instructed Zhu Que, “I’m going out for a bit. Take good care of Yao.”

“Understood,” Zhu Que nodded in agreement.

Xiao Shun then walked into Yao Cen’s office, casually saying, “I’m going to handle a few things. I’ll be back soon.”

Yao Cen, gentle affection in her eyes, looked at him and smiled slightly, “Be careful, I’ll wait for your return.” She knew she couldn’t offer Xiao Shun much help at this time, she could only wait. And she believed that Xiao Shun could handle everything.

Xiao Shun nodded with a smile and left the office.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of concern. She quickly got up, left her desk, and hurried to the door to look toward the elevator. Xiao Shun’s figure had already disappeared.

“It’s okay, he’s like a superman. What could possibly happen?” she reassured herself.

Xiao Shun left the office building and walked towards the entrance. From a distance, he could see a few cars parked at the gate. Kou Zhengqing and a group of strangers were standing outside the cars. Beside him, a tall young woman was probably Miss Yang.

At the same time, Yang Zinuo spotted him as well and laughed disdainfully, “Is that our branch head, sir?”

“Yes,” Kou Zhengqing responded.

“He’s really nothing special. Compared to Master Dragon, it’s like comparing heaven and earth. He’s not even fit to carry his shoes. I wonder where he gets his confidence from, acting so arrogantly,” Yang Zinuo sneered.

Kou Zhengqing gave an awkward laugh without agreeing or disagreeing.

Seeing Xiao Shun approach, Yang Zinuo stepped forward, extended her hand, and said with a forced smile, “Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you.”

Slap!

Instead of shaking hands, Xiao Shun slapped her across the face and said in a deep voice, “A traitor.”

Yang Zinuo was stunned by his sudden slap, her hand still hanging in the air in a handshake position. The other executives of the Old School Society exchanged glances.

This was too overbearing. After all, Yang Zinuo was the deputy branch head. How could he just slap her like that? It was too embarrassing.
