The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Paul Wang was confused and furious. With so many classmates watching, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and seek other connections.

Paul made another call to the second-in-command of the development zone. This person had a good relationship with his father.

As soon as the call connected, Paul said, "Mr. Chen, it's me, Paul Wang. I ran into some trouble in the development zone..."

He explained the situation.

The other party awkwardly replied, "Paul, the other side belongs to Brother Biao, who works for Lord Hong. It's best if you don't get involved."

Paul asked, "Aren't you going to do something about it?"

The other party said, "You should know Lord Hong's status."

Paul started to panic. "Can't you at least put in a good word for me?"

The other party laughed awkwardly, "I'm afraid I can't help you with this. Sorry."

Paul got angry, "Mr. Chen, I remember you wanted Dihao Group to donate some supplies to you, right? Don't you want them anymore?"

The other party dropped the pretense and coldly said, "Paul Wang, your father has already been fired by Dihao Group. Didn't you know?"

"Fired? When did that happen?"

"Half an hour ago!"

The other party continued, "You should get your facts straight first."

Then he hung up the phone.

The scar-faced man saw Paul's stunned expression and mocked, "What? Can't find anyone to help?"

Just as Paul was about to speak, the scar-faced man slapped him, causing Paul to stumble and knock over several tables and chairs.

The crowd gasped!

Everyone turned pale, but no one dared to stop the scar-faced man.

"You dare hit me?"

Paul covered his face, his fair skin showing deep anger.

"So what if I hit you?"

The scar-faced man sneered and kicked Paul in the stomach, knocking him to the ground and beating him mercilessly.

Paul screamed in pain, but no one could help him.

In no time, Paul was beaten to a pulp, his face covered in blood, looking terrifying.

Paul was terrified, crying and begging, "Big brother, I was wrong! Please stop hitting me!"

"Wrong?" The scar-faced man snorted, "You tried to show off to me. If I don't beat you to death, how will I maintain my reputation?"

He then ordered his men, "Damn it, beat him hard!"

A group of men immediately rushed up and started punching and kicking Paul.

Some even used baseball bats to hit him, making the scene unbearable to watch.

Seeing Paul beaten half to death, the scar-faced man walked up to Michael Wang and coldly threatened, "Your friend tried to show off to me. The original 20% is now 40%! If you don't agree, his fate will be yours!"

Michael was terrified, but giving up 40% of his shares meant he would be working for these thugs.

So he mustered up his courage and said, "If you want 40%, you might as well kill me!"

The scar-faced man frowned and coldly said, "Alright! I'll grant your wish!"

He then pulled out a shiny knife from his pocket.

Everyone was scared stiff, and the female classmates even screamed.

James Ye saw the scar-faced man about to attack Michael and immediately shouted, "Put the knife down!"

The scar-faced man turned and cursed, "Who the fuck wants to die?"

When he turned and saw James, his eyes first showed confusion, then deep fear. He immediately dropped to his knees!

Before anyone could react, the scar-faced man had already thrown away the knife and started slapping himself, apologizing, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry! I didn't recognize you were here!"

James was slightly stunned and looked at the scar-faced man, "You know me?"

The scar-faced man nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Ye, I'm Brother Biao's subordinate. I saw you at Tianxiang Mansion..."

James suddenly understood.

So that's how it was.

The person who caused trouble for Daniel Wang and Robert Xiao at Tianxiang Mansion was Lord Hong's subordinate, named Biao. This scar-faced man was Biao's underling.

No wonder he was so scared of me.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

Even Lord Hong trembles at the sight of me, let alone his subordinate's subordinate...

The classmates were all stunned! Susan Liu was also in shock, as if in a dream.

No one understood why a fierce gangster, who even dared to hit Paul Wang, would kneel to James, a live-in son-in-law, and show such fear?

Mary Xiao was also dumbfounded and asked James, "What's going on? Do you know him?"

James, afraid she might misunderstand his connection to the underworld, quickly said, "I don't know him!"

The scar-faced man quickly added, "No, no, I don't know Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye doesn't know me either. I've just always admired Mr. Ye..."

What a bootlicker...

Admire James?

Everyone found it hard to accept this reality; it was too surreal!

The scar-faced man quickly said to Michael, "You're Mr. Ye's friend, so from now on, your restaurant is under my protection. No protection fees! I'll handle any trouble for you!"

This statement shocked everyone!

Susan Liu was so thrilled she almost cried.

The contrast was too dramatic!

Because of James, they saved 40% of the shares. More importantly, the scar-faced man wanted to bootlick James so much that he offered to protect their restaurant for free!

Now they could run their business without any worries!

James had practically saved their lives!

Michael was also extremely grateful and sincerely said, "James, thank you so much for this."

James smiled, "No need to thank me. We're friends, aren't we?"

The scar-faced man, looking at the unconscious Paul Wang, nervously said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I beat up your friend..."

James calmly said, "It's fine. He's not my friend, just an acquaintance, and we don't have much of a relationship."

He then added, "Take him to the hospital. Don't ruin the opening ceremony."

The scar-faced man quickly nodded, "We'll take him to the hospital right away! Mr. Ye, please continue. We won't disturb you!"

He then hurriedly called his men to carry the unconscious Paul Wang and fled in a panic.

Everyone's view of James changed from disdain to surprise, and from surprise to awe.

No one knew why James had such influence.

This live-in son-in-law seemed to have suddenly become a different person!

At the banquet, many people came to bootlick James, including Susan Liu, who had initially looked down on him.

Susan now treated James like a deity, constantly thanking him and even offering him permanent free meals.

James didn't care much about it. He was just doing Michael a favor and helping him with a small problem.

But in others' eyes, his actions today had taken on a magical quality!

Everyone wanted to know what had happened to this gigolo live-in son-in-law.
