The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Just as Elizabeth Ma was getting excited, Eric Wang shouted, "Uncles and aunties, don't worry. I'll go talk to them right now. Wait here for my good news."

Elizabeth felt invincible with Eric backing her up, so she immediately blurted out, "Eric, I'll go with you!"

James Ye quickly said to Elizabeth, "Mom, you'd better not get involved. If Eric can't solve this, you might get into trouble!"

"Bah!" Elizabeth snapped angrily, "How dare you, you useless piece of trash, doubt Eric's abilities?"

The other elderly folks were all counting on Eric to help them get their hard-earned money back. Now that James was contradicting everyone, it naturally sparked their displeasure.

Facing the barrage of criticism, James calmly said, "Mom, you can wait here. It's best not to get involved in this mess."

Elizabeth wouldn't listen at all and immediately cursed, "Shut your filthy mouth! Do you think you have a say here?"

Eric's face was full of arrogance as he mocked, "Not much skill, but plenty of jealousy. Do you think I'm like you, just a useless loudmouth?"

Seeing that his mother-in-law wouldn't listen, James decided not to say more and simply said, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Wang."

James couldn't stand his mother-in-law, Elizabeth. She was too superficial and often blinded by appearances. In short, she was a shallow woman with long hair and short insight.

Today's matter seemed like just a scam, but a little investigation would reveal its deep waters. His mother-in-law, lacking any discernment, insisted on wading into the mess herself. There was nothing he could do; letting her learn a lesson might be a good thing.

Elizabeth had no idea James was being considerate. She glared at him fiercely and then turned to Eric with an apologetic smile, "Eric, don't mind what this piece of trash says. Auntie absolutely believes in you..."

Eric smiled smugly and said, "It's okay, Auntie. I won't stoop to the level of a coward."

With that, he said confidently, "Auntie, let's go!"

"Alright!"

Eric led Elizabeth through the crowd and walked to the entrance of Bruce Insurance Company.

As soon as they reached the entrance, Eric loudly said to the employees blocking the door, "Tell your boss to return these uncles' and aunties' money immediately, or I'll have my legal team and the police involved. Then, I'll have you and your boss arrested!"

Elizabeth chimed in, "Did you hear that, you dogs? We have someone backing us now! If your scam company doesn't return the money, be careful that Mr. Wang doesn't send you all to jail!"

The young employee leading the group was a bit nervous and hurriedly said, "I'm just a security guard; I'm not in charge of specific business matters!"

Eric said coldly, "Then call your boss and tell him I'm Eric Wang from the Wang Family in Jinling! Have him come here personally to handle this, or face the consequences!"

Eric's face was full of arrogance as he spoke.

Although the Wang Family wasn't the top in Jinling, they were at least mid-tier.

Would a mere scam company boss dare not give him face after hearing his name?

The young employee, unsure of Eric's background, was a bit scared and immediately called his boss.

At this moment, in the chairman's office of Bruce Insurance Company, the boss, Zhou Bruce, was fawning over a middle-aged man in his forties.

With a flattering smile, Zhou Bruce took out a bank card from his drawer and respectfully handed it over, saying, "Lord Hong, this card contains thirty million, and the password is your birthday. This is your share of the profits. Please have a look."

The middle-aged man, dressed in a Tang suit, had a somewhat rugged appearance but exuded an intimidating aura.

If anyone else were present, they would immediately recognize this man.

He was Lord Hong!

Everyone in Jinling knew that Lord Hong was the underground king here, and no one dared to mess with him!

Lord Hong looked at Zhou Bruce and smiled approvingly, "Little Zhou, I didn't expect you to be so savvy. Not bad, not bad!"

Zhou Bruce hurriedly said, "Lord Hong, what should we do about the old folks causing trouble downstairs?"

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

Lord Hong said indifferently, "A bunch of old geezers, don't worry about them. If they don't leave quietly later, I'll have my men come and teach them a lesson!"

Zhou Bruce breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Hong!"

Lord Hong smiled and said, "In the future, just go ahead with such business. As long as it makes money, I'll cover for you if anything happens."

Zhou Bruce was overjoyed and said humbly, "Thank you, Lord Hong! With your support, I'll definitely keep up the good work, and we'll make a fortune together!"

Zhou Bruce didn't have a deep background in Jinling, but he had a knack for shady dealings.

He ran financial scams, knowing he couldn't handle such large amounts alone, so he sought Lord Hong's help, offering a portion of the illegal gains in exchange for Lord Hong's protection.

With Lord Hong's backing, he had no worries and his scam business thrived.

Just as Zhou Bruce was thrilled about securing Lord Hong's support, his subordinate called, "Boss, there's trouble! Someone claiming to be Eric Wang from the Wang Family is demanding we return the money immediately, or he'll send you to jail!"

"Damn, is that so?"

Zhou Bruce frowned and quickly said to Lord Hong, "Lord Hong, there's someone downstairs claiming to be from the Wang Family in Jinling. He's leading those old folks and causing trouble, saying he can cover the sky with one hand in Jinling and wants us to return all the scammed money, or he'll send us to jail..."

Zhou Bruce exaggerated the situation to provoke Lord Hong.@@novelbin@@

Then he bent down and pleaded, "Lord Hong, the Wang Family has some influence in Jinling. If they target me, I can't handle it. Please, Lord Hong, help me through this crisis!"

"The Wang Family in Jinling?"

Lord Hong snorted coldly, "The Wang Family is nothing to me! Even their head has to bow to me! Now their junior dares to mess with me? He's tired of living!"

With that, Lord Hong pocketed the bank card Zhou Bruce had given him and said coldly, "Let's go. I want to see which fool thinks he can make me, Lord Hong, spit out the money I've taken!"
