The Crazy Son-In-Law

The resolute look on Sha Hai’s face was completely wiped away by Xiao Shun’s words.

Indeed, how could mere lip service compete against bullets?

When the situation is stronger than the people, this is how it is!

Having thought thus far, Sha Hai decided to pretend to compromise for the time being. With a look of difficulty on his face, he said, “The jade carving is fine, but for Persimmon Commercial…”

Seeing Sha Hai’s hesitant look, Xiao Shun raised his eyebrows: “Go ahead and speak your mind.”

Hesitating for a moment, Sha Hai tentatively asked: “Are you from the Pearl Commercial Chamber?”

“That’s not something you need to worry about,” Xiao Shun shook his head, his previously calm gaze becoming stern.

Seeing this, Sha Hai felt a chill down his spine, as if being lashed by cold winds. He thought to himself,

This man is just as I expected, he must be part of the Pearl Commercial Chamber, and is most likely a core member.

The momentary change in Xiao Shun’s eyes had enlightened Sha Hai.

Soon after, he looked around and saw no outsiders here. Thus, he no longer spoke ambiguously and got straight to the point: “Although I am the chairman of Persimmon Commercial, the true person in control is Tan Hao Han. I only have management rights, not decision rights.”

As Sha Hai spoke, his hand resting on his thigh made an imperceptible move.

At the same time, the two bodyguards in the northwest corner of the living room immediately understood and quietly shifted their footsteps, trying to find a better vantage point to shoot from.

Although Xiao Shun’s gaze did not pay attention there, with his perception, what difference did looking or not looking make?

“Alas, there’s no need for that,” Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly.

“Bang, bang!”

Two strong air currents swept through the void as Zhu Que raised her hand and fired two shots, ending the lives of the two bodyguards who were itching for action.

Perfect marksmanship, terrifying!

“Next time, you’ll be my target,” Zhu Que coldly looked at Sha Hai, her arm holding the gun steady.

The other bodyguards were all shocked by this sharpshooter. Her reaction and accuracy were simply awe-inspiring.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sha Hai was also shocked along with them.

He had originally planned to stake it all to resolve this crisis, but before he could take action, the enemy had already seen through it first.

Damn it, how can he continue now?

“Mr. Sha, there’s no need for this actually. We came with the intention to negotiate. I advise you to put away your tricks!” Xiao Shun said helplessly.

Killing was not something he wished to see. After all, he was no murderer.

Of course, if the killing was between enemies, then Xiao Shun would not play saint and could also rush out to fight!

“You all, leave,” Sha Hai conceded and waved at Qin Yu and the others behind him who were remaining vigilant.

“Boss…” Qin Yu wanted to say something but stopped.

“That’s an order!” Sha Hai emphasized.

Not daring to say more, Qin Yu took one last look at Xiao Shun before leading the others away as ordered.

“Hehe,” Xiao Shun laughed lightly and instructed Zhu Que, “Put away your gun, Que Que. I trust that with Mr. Sha’s experience, he wouldn’t go for the gun under the sofa cushion. In a one-on-one situation, few can draw faster than me.”

It was as if a warning. Zhu Que slowly lowered her gun.

“Phew…” Sha Hai let out a long breath, feeling completely relaxed.

Having a gun pointed at your head was truly agonizing.

“Mr. Sha just said that the real control of Persimmon Commercial lies with Tan Hao Han?” Xiao Shun asked.

“Yes!” Sha Hai nodded and added, “I’m merely the exposed frontman. I can formulate rules for any mobilization of the chamber of commerce, but the levels above are beyond my reach.”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun fell into contemplation, but soon he was at ease.

As the richest man in Oars, Tan Hao Han’s identity must be that of a dominant figure in the business world. Some projects bordering legality would surely be kept from public knowledge.

Thus, Sha Hai could openly be the master of Persimmon Commercial, when in reality he was but a puppet.

Thinking to this point, Xiao Shun smiled bitterly, “It seems I targeted the wrong person this time.”

Indeed, he had originally thought Sha Hai was the true controller behind Persimmon Commercial, but who knew it was just his own wishful thinking.

Although things had become a bit tricky, there wasn’t actually too big of a change.

After all, there was already enmity between the Tan family and him.

“You’ve finished speaking, now it’s my turn.”

Zhu Que gracefully stood up, eyes full of killing intent, and reloaded her gun.

She still remembered Sha Hai’s earlier insolent remarks toward her.

Xiao Shun rubbed his aching temples. He wondered who this guy offended to court his own death like this.

Seeing the murderous-looking Zhu Que not far away, Sha Hai’s eyelid twitched.

Just as Xiao Shun wanted to dissuade Zhu Que, Sha Hai hurriedly said:

“Wait!”

Zhu Que was unmoved, continuing her steady pacing.

Right now she was like a reaper of life, taking constant steps, trying to extinguish the soul of this disrespectful man.

The silvery-white gun glinted coldly under the lamplight.

It was so dazzling yet so icy and bone-chilling!

Cold sweat swiftly covered Sha Hai’s forehead. He hurriedly said, “Take the jade carving, it’s yours!”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun secretly laughed. Keeping a poker face, he pressed down on Zhu Que’s shoulder and shamelessly said, “Once you’re dead, everything will naturally be mine!”

Sha Hai shook his head and pleaded, “No, I have other treasures. As long as you get her to put away the gun, I can take you to my underground treasure vault. You can pick any of the treasures inside!”

Letting out a whistle, Xiao Shun grinned smugly.

Looks like this punk knows a thing or two!

Mentally ridiculing him, Xiao Shun explained to the expressionless Zhu Que:

“Que Que, Mr. Sha seems to have deeply realized his mistakes. Let’s give him a chance for the treasures… I mean, for admitting his wrongs. We can just take more antiques to make up for it.”

“Yes, yes…” Sha Hai repeatedly agreed.

Ignoring Xiao Shun’s frantically blinking eyes, Zhu Que holstered her gun.

She knew he did not like her killing indiscriminately.

Letting out a long breath, Xiao Shun solemnly said, “Ahem, Mr. Sha, I went through great pains earlier to persuade this lady knight to stand down. As you can see…”

Sha Hai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Looking at the shameless Xiao Shun, he smiled awkwardly, “The jade carving and antiques are all yours!”

“The goods are naturally ours, but there’s something I mentioned earlier that I need you to pass on to Tan Hao Han!”

Xiao Shun readily took it all, seemingly going wildly out of control down the shameless path, never to return.
