The Crazy Son-In-Law

He Jun was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, “Beauty, I’m a coward. Don’t scare me with a toy gun.”

Bang!

Zhu Que shot him in the thigh. Blood immediately spurted from the hole in his leg.

He let out a scream, grabbed his leg and fell to the ground, writhing in pain with gritted teeth.

“Mr. Jun?!”

“Damn! A real gun!”

Those who mingled in the underworld occasionally saw people carrying guns, so it was nothing unusual. But few actually dared to open fire. At most, they would take out the gun to intimidate others.

So they never imagined that this foreign chick not only carried a gun with her, but actually fired without hesitation or blinking an eye.

Damn, what kind of person is she?

Zhu Que had already raised the muzzle and pointed it at them. Those who had wanted to step forward were frightened and immediately stopped in their tracks.

After experiencing her ruthlessness, no one dared to take another step forward.

Zhu Que’s gun now had ordinary bullets. If they were engraved spirit bullets, He Jun’s leg would be gone.

Seeing that no one dared to move forward, she pointed the gun at He Jun again and said coldly, “If you come to harass us again, next time I’ll shoot your head.”

He Jun was in so much pain that his facial features were twisted. Veins bulged as he trembled and begged, “Spare me… I won’t dare anymore…”

Someone who dared to openly fire a gun could be one of many kinds of people, but none were those that these punks could afford to provoke. He Jun finally realized that he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have today.

Zhu Que put away her gun and walked towards the elevator entrance as if nothing had happened, just a trivial interlude.

Not long after Xiao Shun and Yao Cen returned to their hotel room, Zhu Que came back too. Only then did Yao Cen finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She was not as easygoing as Xiao Shun. Although she knew Zhu Que was skilled, Zhu Que was still a girl after all.

When Zhu Que briefed Xiao Shun about the situation, he also reminded her to change her bullets. He knew Zhu Que’s handgun always used ordinary bullets.

Now with so many cultivators pouring into Harrow, perhaps a few unstable individuals would slip through. It was better to be prepared.

After resting for a night, the three had breakfast. According to last night’s division of labor, Yao Cen and Zhu Que continued to process the paperwork for the branch company while Xiao Shun went house hunting.

Considering their unique group, and someone like Zhu Que who would readily pull out a gun over minor disputes, escalating into a neighborhood conflict would be more than just playing around.

Long San’s mother and Hu would probably not stay in Harrow long term. Once the branch company was on track, Yao Cen would likely return to Stillwater, after all that was home and where her parents still were.

Plus Hu still had to go to school.

Since the branch company was here, and Xiao Shun also planned on making Harrow the first foothold for the New School Society, they would inevitably be staying in Harrow frequently going forward.

After comprehensive consideration, they eventually settled on the Lakeview Ranch villas in the suburbs.

Lakeview Ranch was located next to a national forest park, nestled against the mountains and water. Sitting in front of the house, one could see the shimmering waves stretching endlessly into the distance of the Lantin River.

Most importantly, each villa was its own independent area, maximizing the privacy of residents.

The forces Xiao Shun would be up against in the future was the entire Old School Society. Although there was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world to not implicate innocent family, how many could actually adhere to this rule?

The Old School Society controlled most of the resources in the country’s cultivation world, and were the creators and enforcers of its rules. Perhaps superficially they would keep up appearances, but not necessarily in private.

A cornered rabbit will bite back, let alone the Old School Society which was no docile rabbit, but a fierce beast.

Therefore, Xiao Shun still considered safety as one of the top factors, even if it meant an extra layer of protection was very necessary.

With such specifications, the prices of the villas at Lakeview Ranch were naturally commensurate, starting at a minimum of 100 million.

Xiao Shun was unfamiliar with Harrow and didn’t want to trouble He Guangji and the others, so it took three days just to determine visiting Lakeview Ranch.

Early this morning after leaving the hotel, he took a taxi towards Lakeview Ranch.

In about half an hour he arrived at the magnificent sales office of Lakeview Ranch. Stepping out of the cab, one could see the faint silhouettes of buildings nestled between the verdant mountains in the distance.

Clouds drifted amongst the peaks, lush and steep. The Lantin River rippled tranquilly at the foot of the mountains, with the green mountains reflected on its mirror-like surface, truly a place of ethereal beauty.

Stepping into the sales office, there weren’t many customers inside, making it seem a bit bleak.

Not surprising, since those who could afford villas at this price range were all prominent officials, business tycoons, and the like.

According to a wealth report from a few years ago, only about one in a hundred people in top-tier major cities like the capital had a net worth exceeding 10 million. Harrow still had quite a gap compared to the capital, so the 100 million starting price could deter ninety-nine percent of Harrow.

A saleswoman in her twenties dressed in a black business suit with a pretty face smiled as she came over.

The saleswomen here were naturally not ordinary. Whether in temperament or looks, they were all top-notch.

Xiao Shun’s image probably did not fit their definition of a target customer. But the saleswoman did not show any hint of disdain. Although she had likely noticed Xiao Shun arrived by taxi.

This showed their professionalism was quite good, at least on the surface they would not exhibit any snobbishness.

“Hello sir, I’m Kerry, the sales manager of Lakeview Ranch. May I ask if you’ve had a chance to learn about our Lakeview Ranch before, or have decided on a price range?”

“No, why don’t you give me an introduction,” Xiao Shun said.

“Sure, please come with me.”

Xiao Shun followed her quickly to the reception area furnished with imported leather sofas, exuding luxury.

After sitting down, Kerry asked, “May I have your name?”

“They all call me Mr. Xiao,” Xiao Shun simply replied.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Xiao, would you like something to drink?”

“No need, just give me an overview first,” said Xiao Shun.

“Alright.”

As they spoke, Kerry sized up Xiao Shun intentionally or unintentionally. He was young, and his clothes were nothing expensive either.

She saw all kinds of prominent officials, business tycoons, upstarts, and nouveau riche here every day. Each had an air befitting their status.

But she couldn’t quite get a read on Xiao Shun. He didn’t seem to belong to any kind, giving her an indescribable feeling.

With so many beautiful saleswomen here, occasionally some playboys would come to fool around. From their wandering eyes, she could tell when someone just came to make trouble.
