The Hidden Dragon In-Law

1.3 million turned into 2 million in an instant, making Elizabeth Ma overjoyed and somewhat incredulous.

Immediately, she asked Zhou Bruce with a face full of surprise, "Is this 2 million really for me?"

Zhou Bruce quickly nodded and said, "Of course, it's all yours!"

"Oh my, that's wonderful!" Elizabeth Ma was instantly ecstatic.

Seeing Elizabeth Ma get 2 million, an extra 700,000 on top of the principal, the other elderly people were thrilled. They thought that since her money was returned, theirs should also be returned with interest, right?

So, a few people took the lead and asked, "Manager Zhou, what about our money?"

Manager Zhou quickly looked at Lord Hong.

Although Lord Hong was reluctant to give back the money he had swallowed, he had angered the young master of the Ye Family this time, and his life could be at stake. So, he couldn't afford to be stingy and blurted out, "Return it! Return it all! For Mr. Ye's sake, everyone's money will be returned with interest!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

At this moment, James Ye suddenly said coldly, "Lord Hong, these people have nothing to do with me. What do you mean by saying it's for my sake? Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"

Lord Hong was startled and blurted out, "Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that? I'm confused, I don't understand..."

James Ye said, "Their money has nothing to do with me. If you want to return it, return it. If you don't want to, don't. But if you dare to say you're returning it for my sake, don't blame me for turning against you right now!"

These old folks had been mocking him along with Elizabeth Ma earlier. Why should he help them get their money back now?

On the contrary, not only would he not help them, but he would also make Lord Hong understand that returning their money would offend him!

Lord Hong immediately understood and quickly said, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I get it!"

Then he told Zhou Bruce, "Only return the money to Mr. Ye's mother-in-law, no one else!"

"What?!" The old folks who had been ecstatic just now went crazy. Some even started crying loudly, wailing in despair.

Some begged James Ye loudly for mercy, but he turned a deaf ear.

These disrespectful old folks had insulted him earlier, and now they wanted his help?

To hell with them!

Seeing the old folks in an uproar, Lord Hong shouted, "Everyone shut the hell up! If anyone dares to say another word and disturb Mr. Ye, I'll kill them!"

The old folks immediately fell silent...

Lord Hong then looked at the stunned Eric Wang and asked, "Mr. Ye, is this Young Master Wang your friend?"

James Ye glanced at Eric Wang, who quickly pleaded, "James, James! James, save me! Tell Lord Hong we're good friends, please!"

James Ye snorted coldly and said to Lord Hong, "I don't know this person. Continue with your promise; beat him up and then let him go."

Lord Hong immediately understood and ordered his men, "Damn it, keep beating him. This bastard makes me angry just looking at him!"

Eric Wang screamed in terror, "James! I didn't recognize you before! I'm begging you, save me, please..."

James Ye looked at him coldly and said, "We have no relationship, no grievances, yet you repeatedly insulted me. Now you want me to save you? Wake up, stop dreaming!"

Eric Wang broke down and cried, "James, I really know I was wrong, please save me..."

Seeing James Ye's displeased expression, Lord Hong immediately shouted at his men, "Damn it, why aren't you moving? Do you want to die?"

His men, startled, hurriedly grabbed Eric Wang by the neck and hair and started beating him fiercely.

Soon, Eric Wang's mouth was full of blood, and several teeth were broken, but they didn't stop, each slap was extremely forceful!

Lord Hong, smiling, asked James Ye, "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied with this?"

James Ye nodded, "Alright, that's enough. I have to go."

Lord Hong quickly and respectfully handed his business card to James Ye, flattering him, "Mr. Ye, this is my contact information. If you need anything in the future, just let me know, and I'll be there."

James Ye acknowledged with a hum and casually put the card in his pocket.

Then he said to his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Ma, "Mom, it's getting late, let's go home."

Although Elizabeth Ma had been slapped a few times, she had ultimately made 700,000, so she was grinning from ear to ear, looking at James Ye with pride, thinking her son-in-law had really made her proud!

James Ye carried the money and prepared to leave with Elizabeth Ma. The old folks quickly gathered around him, saying eagerly, "Oh, James, we misjudged you earlier. We didn't know you were so capable, truly outstanding!"

"Yes, James, you're so talented and promising. My son-in-law is nothing compared to you."

"Can you help us talk to Mr. Zhou and get our money back? It's our hard-earned money!"

James Ye frowned and said coldly, "Why should I help you? Aren't you all so high and mighty? If you can't get your money back, ask your own sons-in-law for help!"

With that, he walked away.

Hearing this, everyone felt deep regret.

They blamed themselves for belittling James Ye earlier. Now, their chance to get their money back was gone...

Thinking of this, some slapped themselves in anger, some sat on the ground in despair, crying out in agony. This was their life savings! Without it, they were doomed!

But they had no other way. They could only blame themselves for having sharp tongues and not having a good son-in-law like James Ye.

On the way home, Elizabeth Ma, full of flattery and smiles, asked James Ye, "James, how do you know Lord Hong? Why is he so polite to you?"

James Ye laughed it off and said, "How could I know someone like him? I just called a classmate who has the power to make Bruce return the money."

Hearing this, Elizabeth Ma felt a wave of disappointment.

She had thought James Ye had some great ability she didn't know about, but it turned out he still had to ask for help.

So, her enthusiasm was instantly dampened.

But at least they got the money back and made an extra 700,000, which made her view James Ye a bit more favorably.

She said to James Ye, "James, you must keep today's matter a secret for me. Don't tell anyone. Even though I'm old, I still have my pride, right?"

James Ye smiled helplessly and agreed, "I understand, Mom."
