The Crazy Son-In-Law

At seven in the evening, Xiao Shun’s phone vibrated in his pocket.

He immediately pulled out the device Meng Cai had given him today and pressed the answer key without hesitation.

A strange laugh came from the other end of the line: “Heh, you answered quickly!”

“Where?” Xiao Shun asked coolly.

Meng Cai replied, “There’s a dock near Ruan Family Beach. Once you get there, you’ll see an abandoned warehouse. If I don’t see your people in an hour, don’t blame us for not being merciful!”

Xiao Shun’s eyes hardened as he warned in a deep voice, “If anything happens to her, none of you will escape. I will show you what true despair and cruelty are!”

“Haha, you need to understand the situation; we are the ones setting the rules of the game now, you are not in a position to threaten us!” Meng Cai said fearlessly.

Xiao Shun didn’t bother to argue further. As long as he could rescue Song Linger, none of those present tonight would escape!

Then, Meng Cai continued, “By the way, I know you’re smart, so I didn’t bother with the nonsense about keeping quiet. But if you’re feeling lucky, then your disciple will be meeting the King of Hell!”

With that, he hung up.

“It seems these guys know how important Linger is to me, so they’re not worried I’d call for backup,” Xiao Shun muttered to himself as he hailed a cab to Ruan Family Beach.

Forty minutes later, he arrived alone at a dock.

Looking around, the dock was densely packed with countless containers. It was already night, and the area was eerily quiet.

A few hundred meters to the west of the dock, an abandoned warehouse stood isolated among overgrown weeds, giving off an utterly desolate vibe.

With a flick, Xiao Shun half-squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette, then headed towards the deserted factory building.

Since there were still about ten minutes left until the appointed hour, he didn’t rush but walked at his usual pace towards the warehouse.

After finishing his cigarette, Xiao Shun appeared at the warehouse entrance.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

The mottled gate divided the inside and outside of the warehouse into two worlds, waiting for the day it would be used again.

He stopped and slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, his consciousness swept out like a tide, enveloping the surroundings.

Almost immediately, he had a sense of the entire warehouse.

In the middle of the warehouse, there were three breathing sounds, long and steady, likely from trained individuals.

Then, from other directions, faint breathing sounds emerged. In total, there were thirteen people in the warehouse.

After confirming the number, Xiao Shun slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the second floor.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

With his spiritual vision activated, his gaze reflected everything in the direction he looked.

In an office on the second floor, there were three people. Two were standing, and the other was lying down.

The spiritual vision was not x-ray; it could only reflect the vitality of people and not capture all the details. Yet, Xiao Shun was still sure of Song Linger’s location.

After retracting his spiritual eye, he muttered, “There are two experts guarding Linger. They really are cautious.”

To Xiao Shun, those two experts were insignificant. He was confident that he could end their lives before they even realized what was happening.

What really concerned him was the presence of that “Wild Gu Master.”

Xiao Shun still hesitated to act even after locating Song Linger, primarily out of fear of this person.

At that moment, his phone vibrated again, with another call from Meng Cai.

“What are you doing lingering by the warehouse door for so long? Are you planning to take advantage of our distraction to forcibly rescue someone?”

Hearing this, Xiao Shun put the phone down and looked towards the right side of the main entrance.

There, a small red light was blinking-a security camera.

Smirking at the camera, Xiao Shun casually tossed his phone aside, pushed open the large doors of the warehouse, and walked into the desolate interior.

A few lights were on inside the warehouse. The dim light was insufficient to brighten the vast area but managed to cast the figures of those present under its glow.

Xiao Shun counted exactly ten people-no more, no less.

“Ha ha!”

A boisterous laughter echoed back and forth inside the warehouse.

Ruan Jinshui sat on a chair, grinning as he watched Xiao Shun slowly approach him, and teased, “Leader Xiao, we meet again!”

Ever since the Sundown Bazaar, he had discovered Xiao Shun’s true identity.

He was incredibly shocked at the time, unable to believe that he had provoked someone of such significant stature.

Just when he thought his chances for revenge were hopeless, Song Linger had followed Xia Li to Laogua.

Thus, he believed his chance for vengeance had returned.

Filled with intense resentment, Ruan Jinshui spent a considerable sum to bribe a servant of the Xia family to gather information on Xiao Shun.

Through this, he finally confirmed Xiao Shun’s whereabouts.

At the market, the strength displayed by Xiao Shun and his disciples had greatly alarmed Ruan Jinshui. Knowing he couldn’t match Xiao Shun even with Song Linger as leverage, he immediately contacted a prominent figure in Laogua’s Gu realm, securing the support of a formidable “Wild Gu Master.”

With such powerful backing, Ruan Jinshui no longer feared Xiao Shun and was confident that tonight he would bury this disgrace in a foreign land.

Under the dim warehouse lighting, Xiao Shun slowly approached within ten meters of Ruan Jinshui.

As he was about to continue forward, he was unexpectedly stopped by two dark gun barrels aimed at him.

“Take one more step, and be careful of your head!” threatened a bald man wielding an M4.

Xiao Shun retracted his stepping foot. He was not afraid of the bullets but didn’t want to provoke the nerves of his enemies and potentially spoil his plan.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Ruan Jinshui felt immensely satisfied and chuckled, “Heh, Leader Xiao, not so arrogant now, are you?”

Xiao Shun ignored his taunts and stared intently at a gaunt old man beside Ruan Jinshui.

The elder was dressed in a white robe and wore a round straw hat, an unusual attire.

Noticing Xiao Shun’s gaze, the elder simply smiled.

Ruan Jinshui, realizing he was being ignored, became infuriated and roared at Xiao Shun, “Damn it, I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear me?”

With that, he snatched the M4 from the bald strongman and pressed the trigger.

“Bang!”

The dark muzzle flashed as the bullet, spinning at high velocity, shot out and struck near Xiao Shun’s feet.

The bullet hit the hard concrete, instantly creating a bullet hole and sending tiny pebbles flying, which speckled Xiao Shun’s pant legs.

Yet Xiao Shun remained utterly still, not even glancing at the bullet hole at his feet.
