The Hidden Dragon In-Law

The phone was quickly connected.

Elizabeth Ma immediately said, "Hello, is this Eric? Yes, I'm Mary Xiao's mother..."

Ever since Eric Wang saw Mary Xiao at the banquet, he was instantly captivated and couldn't get her out of his mind.

He was worried about not having a chance to get close to Mary, and coincidentally, her mother called him.

He guessed that Elizabeth Ma was in some sort of trouble and certainly wouldn't miss this chance to ingratiate himself.

So, he politely asked, "Auntie Ma, are you in some kind of trouble?"

"Well, there's something I need your help with," Elizabeth said urgently. "Eric, I and a few of my old friends invested in some financial products from a company called Bruce. We've put all our savings into it, but now the company won't let us withdraw the money. Can you help us get it back?"

Eric was overjoyed upon hearing this, feeling it was his time to shine. He confidently said, "Auntie, don't worry. I'll come over right now and help you solve this problem!"@@novelbin@@

Elizabeth was thrilled and quickly said, "Thank you so much!"

After hanging up, she looked at James Ye with disdain and said angrily, "Some people are completely useless, can't rely on them for anything. All they can do is shout slogans. What good is that?"

James Ye sneered inwardly. This mother-in-law was really both snobbish and blind.

Calling Eric Wang for help?

This company had scammed at least tens of millions, if not more. Anyone daring to scam that much money must have a powerful background, possibly even some underworld figures behind them. How could Eric Wang possibly make them return the money?

The Wang Family's power was already mediocre, and after Dihao Group terminated their cooperation, their strength diminished even further. With their background, it was basically impossible to intervene in such a large financial scam.

In fact, this small matter could be resolved with just a phone call to Charles Chen at Buckingham Palace.

After all, he was the Ye Family's representative in Jinling. Any entrepreneur or big shot in Jinling, whether in the legitimate or underground world, had to show him respect.

But this mother-in-law was simply detestable. Since she believed in Eric Wang, let him handle it!

Seeing Elizabeth Ma's cheerful expression after making a phone call, some people immediately gathered around and asked if she had found some powerful figure to help.

With a smug look, Elizabeth said to the surrounding elderly folks, "Don't worry, I've asked the eldest young master of the Wang Family to help. He's very capable, so getting the money back should be easy!"

Someone exclaimed, "The eldest young master of the Wang Family? Wow, Elizabeth, you're amazing to find such a powerful person!"

"Yeah, with Young Master Wang's connections, solving this should be a piece of cake!"

"Elizabeth, since you know such a talented young man, why not marry your daughter to him instead of this useless guy?"

Elizabeth glanced disdainfully at James Ye and snorted, "This useless guy will be kicked out of the Xiao Family sooner or later!"

James Ye said nothing, planning to see how Eric Wang would hit a wall when he arrived.

Soon, a black Porsche slowly stopped in front of the crowd.

A young man in a suit, looking very impressive, stepped out of the car.

Eric Wang had arrived.

The surrounding elderly folks marveled, "Wow, now that's what you call a talented young man! Whoever marries such a good son-in-law will be so lucky!"

"Yeah! If my daughter could marry him, I could die happy!"

"Dream on! Even if you die, he wouldn't look at your daughter!"

At this moment, Elizabeth Ma saw Eric Wang and immediately ran up to him, saying eagerly, "Oh Eric, you're finally here. I was so worried!"

Eric Wang smiled and said, "Auntie, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Elizabeth hurriedly said, "Oh Eric, you're too polite. I only waited for ten minutes. You came so quickly!"

Eric Wang laughed, "When I heard you were in trouble, I drove over immediately, running several red lights on the way."

Elizabeth, looking proud but pretending to be concerned, asked, "Running so many red lights, won't that be a problem?"

"No," Eric Wang said nonchalantly. "I know people in the traffic department. One phone call and any violation can be cleared."

Then he added, "Let's talk about your issue. How much money were you scammed out of?"

Elizabeth sighed, "I invested over a million, and they said this month's dividend would be two hundred thousand, but now I can't even withdraw the principal."

Eric Wang nodded confidently, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll make sure to get your money back."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed James Ye standing behind Elizabeth, his expression changing slightly.

He didn't expect that eyesore, James Ye, to be here.

Ever since seeing Mary Xiao, Eric Wang had been eager to get close to her. Hearing from his brother Daniel Wang that Mary was likely still a virgin, his desire grew even stronger.

So, seeing Mary's useless husband, he naturally looked down on him.

He deliberately said with a smile, "Oh, Brother James is here too. Do you have a way to help Auntie Ma get her investment back? Why don't you give it a try first? So you won't say I stole your thunder."

Elizabeth quickly said, "What's he going to try? What can he help with? All he can do is shout slogans! Eric, don't mind him."

Eric Wang nodded, mocking, "Since Brother James doesn't have the ability, I'll give it a try!"

James Ye smiled slightly and said five words, "Good luck, Young Master Wang."

Eric Wang laughed disdainfully. At this moment, the elderly folks around Elizabeth started to gather, bootlicking her, "Elizabeth, we're all friends. Can you ask this handsome young man to help us too? We've all been scammed out of our hard-earned money!"

Elizabeth, feeling superior, said, "Oh, I can't decide that. Eric is helping me as a favor. He doesn't know you all."

Others began to plead with Eric Wang, "Young Master Wang, please be kind and help us too!"

Eric Wang looked down on the others, but seeing that Elizabeth loved to take advantage of small gains, he smiled and said, "Since you're all Auntie Ma's friends, I can help you too."

As everyone rejoiced, Eric Wang arrogantly said, "But I'm only helping because of Auntie Ma. So, for the money I help you get back, you have to give Auntie Ma 10% as a fee. Can you accept that?"

Everyone quickly said, "No problem! Getting back 90% is much better than getting nothing!"

Hearing this, Elizabeth was overjoyed!

The money her friends had been scammed out of totaled over ten million. If Eric Wang could really help get it back, wouldn't she earn over a million?
