Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

A few minutes later, Chang Chun's phone rang.

After answering, Chang Chun acted surprised, repeatedly confirming the caller's identity. He quickly stood up, bent at the waist, and covered the phone with both hands, nodding repeatedly.

Once the call ended, Chang Chun let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at Zhou Hao lying on the ground, he hurriedly called out, "Yo, my young master Zhou, what are you doing lying down here? Look at you, all dirty. If your brother-in-law finds out, he'll think I've been mistreating you. Someone, take our young master Zhou to have a bath and change his clothes!"

Zhou Hao felt like he was living in a different world watching Chang Chun's expression change three times in one second.

Just one phone call... and it's all settled???

And from what was said, his brother-in-law is pretty badass, and he's even coming here in person???

Holy shit!!!

To think his brother-in-law's status is so high that he could turn a ferocious and vicious person into a docile little lamb!

Zhou Hao felt a bit dizzy as he was led to the side. Even some thugs were ingratiatingly lighting a cigarette for him and telling him the hot water would be ready soon; they were worried that Zhou Hao might catch a cold if he took a cold shower.

This kind of VIP treatment, Zhou Hao had only ever enjoyed it when he was a baby. Never had he been waited on like this since he grew up!

He ate a sumptuous dinner in a daze after bathing, not fully comprehending what was happening to him. Even though the dishes were fast food, to someone whose spirit had been tormented and who was starving, they were like the most exquisite delicacies!

He ate voraciously, shooting side glances at Chang Chun pacing back and forth, feeling a rush of satisfaction rising in his heart.

Weren't you acting all tough just now!

Threatening me every other sentence!

When my brother-in-law arrives, I'll tell on you!

Let's see what you'll do then!

Deciding this made the food Zhou Hao was eating taste even better.

About half an hour passed and the door was pushed open from the outside. A young man entered with a bodyguard.

It was Song Yun and Huang Baoding.

Song Yun had taken great pains to play out this act, even having to climb over a wall and sneak out through a back door to come back, which was quite a hassle.

"Who's in charge here?"

Huang Baoding shouted.

"It's me, it's me... My name is Chang Chun; you can just call me Xiao Chang."

Chang Chun's performance was impeccable, his tone and gestures outclassing a host of young actors.

"Where is Zhou Hao? You didn't mistreat him, did you?"

Song Yun asked casually.

"Not at all, young master Zhou has been receiving VIP treatment here! Besides, he's your brother-in-law. Even with a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare lay a finger on him."

Chang Chun said fawningly, half bowing.

"Good, bring him out."

"Hurry up and go get him!"

Chang Chun slapped one of his underlings and turned back to Song Yun with an obsequious smile.

The underlings had never seen their boss so subservient and knew this young man must be no ordinary person!

So, they moved even quicker.

A few minutes later, Zhou Hao was brought before Song Yun, supported by three or four people as they jogged over.

"Boss, Zhou Hao is here."

"Mm, you guys can leave now."

Chang Chun waved his hand to dismiss his underlings and brought a chair over for Zhou Hao himself, smiling and saying, "You see, if you had just told me your brother-in-law is President Song, we wouldn't have had all these misunderstandings. Now you've made President Song, who is so busy, come all the way here specially. This really troubles old Chang.

You must know, every minute of President Song's time is more valuable than the money you played with tonight!"

"Ah..."

Zhou Hao looked at Song Yun with a timid expression, somewhat disbelieving that this young man was his brother-in-law.

He had initially thought his brother-in-law would be a potbellied, middle-aged bald guy.

Surprisingly, he looked so handsome!

He was like the chosen son straight out of a novel!

"Bro... Brother-in-law..."

Zhou Hao called out sheepishly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hmm, the things you did today have really disappointed your sister. If I hadn't come today, your sister would be fishing you out of the river tomorrow. Heh, after all, you're not that close to me and I'm too lazy to discipline you. Bringing you back in one piece means I have perfectly completed my mission."

Song Yun said coldly, "Chang Chun, I'm taking this guy with me. You have no objection, right?"

"Not at all! Please, feel free!"

Chang Chun couldn't wait for this drama to end. After all, it wasn't until the play was over that they, as actors, could claim their benefits, right?

Song Yun's family had a big business, so they couldn't do without them. Perhaps if he hooked up with Zhou Hao or Huang Baoding, he might become a successful boss himself in a few years!

Song Yun nodded his head and left. Huang Baoding followed closely behind him. Zhou Hao looked around, tentatively took a step, and, upon realizing no one was paying attention, quickly trotted after Song Yun like a little tail.

Upon exiting, a stretch Rolls-Royce was parked outside. Zhou Hao had only ever seen such luxury cars online. As soon as he sat down, he hummed comfortably; such an expensive car really did offer its perks!

This brother-in-law of his, so young yet already with bodyguards, a luxury car, and a chauffeur... Just how wealthy must his family be!

"Brother-in-law?" Find your next adventure on empire

Zhou Hao, seeing Song Yun close his eyes to rest as soon as he got into the car, called out somewhat helplessly.

"Speak."

"My sister..."

"You still have the nerve to mention your sister? You first tricked her out of one hundred twenty thousand, and now you've run up a gambling debt of more than two million! Do you really think your sister is a money-printing machine that can print money for you twenty-four hours a day?"

Song Yun said indifferently, "If it weren't for your sister begging me personally, I would have rather seen a gambler reincarnate sooner, thereby reducing society's burden of an uncertain element."

"I..."

Song Yun's presence was so powerful that Zhou Hao felt like a small boat in the vast sea, which would be destroyed by a storm at any change of weather!

"I just wanted to ask, what's going to happen to Chang Chun?"

After some hesitation, Zhou Hao still plucked up the courage to ask.

"Them? A bunch of petty criminals. I've already called the police! Don't they think they're beyond control in this world?"

Song Yun wasn't lying; he really had called the police.

It wasn't a matter of betraying them after they had served their purpose; the moment Song Yun walked out the door, he had already transferred all the payment to their account.

But what good is money if you're not alive to spend it? The things Song Yun despised most in his life were gamblers and those who organized gambling!

It's these people who break countless families and are the most despicable!

And did he really think that Song Yun couldn't see through Chang Chun's intentions?

He was just hoping to climb the social ladder, wasn't he?

Well, Song Yun could only say he was regretfully mistaken.

At a glance, it was probable that Chang Chun's hands were stained with blood. Song Yun would be a fool to use such a tainted character for his own purposes!

"Oh..."

Zhou Hao licked his lips and didn't dare to ask a second question.

Anyway, knowing that Chang Chun's demise was certain was the best consolation for what he'd gone through tonight.
