The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Cao Qiu’s words won unanimous agreement.

"Cao Senior, if we can really start with Han Min and strike a heavy blow to Long Chen, it would certainly have an extraordinary effect."

"To deal with someone like Long Chen, we must employ extraordinary means."

"It’s best to capture everyone around him in one fell swoop," someone proposed.

Cao Qiu shook his head and said, "We have already conducted a detailed investigation. The people around Long Chen, especially the important women, are all protected by masters, and there are quite a few of them. It would be difficult to make a move unless I and Senior Hua personally take action, which wouldn’t be worth it.

"To deal with Long Chen, we should achieve the maximum benefit at the least cost. I believe Senior Hua would also like to see such an effect."

Hua Qingfeng nodded slightly and smiled, "Brother Cao’s mind is indeed bright. Let’s do as you suggest."

"Then we should not delay, I will personally contact Han Min."

Cao Qiu said.

"Good, Brother Cao, whether it can be done depends on you."

Hua Qingfeng patted Cao Qiu’s shoulder forcefully.

...

At this time, Long Chen was listening to Xia Ling talk about merging their companies with Zhao Churan and Li Yuechan.

The merger was already in its final stages, needing only Long Chen’s signature.

And the related documents had already been delivered in front of Long Chen.

"Take a look, if there’s no problem, you can sign it."

Xia Ling smiled.

"What could be wrong with what you all have done? Just sign it."

Long Chen smiled as he picked up the pen.

"That won’t do." Xia Ling said, "This involves a lot; aren’t you afraid that I or Churan, or even Yuechan, might play tricks? If we did, you could end up with nothing."

"If I can’t trust you guys, then what’s the point of me living?"

Long Chen didn’t even think about it, he flipped to the page requiring a signature, swiftly signed his name, and stamped it.

After he was done, Long Chen handed the thick stack of documents back to Xia Ling: "Keep them safe."

Xia Ling nodded and said, "Then from today, the Eastern Dragon Shadow Group is officially established."

"Is that the name?" Long Chen scratched his head and chuckled, "Ah, I almost forgot."

"That’s why, look at you, I’m really at a loss for words. The hands-off type isn’t rare, but to your extent, it really is."

Xia Ling gave Long Chen a sharp glance: "If you think the name Eastern Dragon Shadow Group sounds bad, then think up another one, it’s not hard to change."

"It’s fine, it’s fine, no need to change, just call it that."

"Hmph, then good, come with me to the room, I have something to tell you."

Xia Ling stood up, looking at Long Chen.

"Can’t you say it here?"

"Are you coming?"

Xia Ling glared at Long Chen.

"Coming."

Long Chen was utterly confused, but he still followed Xia Ling into the room.

Who would have expected that as soon as they entered the room, Xia Ling threw herself into Long Chen’s arms: "You bad guy, haven’t you missed me at all? Now Yuechan and Churan aren’t at home, only Unrivaled is outside, don’t you want to do something?"

"You’re playing with fire, the consequences are terrifying."

Li Xiu immediately lifted Xia Ling.

Xia Ling wrapped her long legs around Long Chen’s waist and looked at him tenderly, "How terrifying? I haven’t experienced it yet, why don’t you show me?"

"Then first tell me, what else important do you have to do next?"

Long Chen asked.

"Yes, there are still a lot of things, hurry up, you big meanie."

Xia Ling gently bit her lips.

"That won’t do," Long Chen pinched Xia Ling’s ear and chuckled, "Let’s finish the important tasks first; otherwise, it will greatly affect you. Be obedient."

"Okay then," Xia Ling wrinkled her nose and whispered, "I’ll listen to you, but you can’t fool me. Once I’m done with everything, you have to satisfy me."

"I promise to satisfy you."

"Humph, that’s more like it." Xia Ling clung tightly to Long Chen’s neck.

Long Chen, holding Xia Ling, sat down and casually smiled and asked, "Yuechan’s mom is usually at home, but she’s nowhere to be seen today. Do you know where she went?"

"I don’t know, she left early in the morning," Xia Ling said.

"Hmm."

Long Chen furrowed his brows slightly, deep in thought.

"What’s wrong? Is there an issue with her?"

Xia Ling asked.

"It’s not that she has issues, but I always feel that something is going to happen to her," Long Chen said, "That Martial Alliance has been slandering my reputation everywhere and has made no other moves.

I suspect that if they stoop to such low tactics as slandering, they might also use people close to me to strike at me.

After some thought, you, Yuechan, Churan, all have protection around you; they don’t have many opportunities.

But it’s different for Han Min. She has always harbored grudges against me. With a little inducement and a small benefit from outsiders, she might betray me without hesitation."

"Your concern is valid," Xia Ling said, "How about this? If you agree, I can investigate her movements."

"Alright, checking it out wouldn’t hurt, but don’t let Yuechan know, to avoid her overthinking things."

Long Chen said.

"Yes, I understand."

...

At this moment, Cao Qiu had already arranged to meet with Han Min at the café.

Cao Qiu, dressed in a long white robe, had somewhat a look of a transcendental sage.

Han Min sat opposite Cao Qiu, somewhat nervous.

Cao Qiu smiled and said, "Big sister, you need not be too nervous. Think about the thing I just mentioned and see if you can agree to it. If you can, I can advance you ten million."

"Really?"

Hearing about the money, Han Min’s eyes lit up.

"Of course, it’s real," Cao Qiu said, "but once you take the money, you mustn’t back out. You have to find a way to drug Long Chen into unconsciousness and then notify me. I will personally come to capture him."

"I understand what you mean, but... but Long Chen is highly skilled in medicine; if it’s a poison, he could easily detect it."

Han Min sighed.

"I am well aware of that," Cao Qiu said. "Not only is he impeccable in medicine, but his martial arts skills are also strong. Yet, however formidable he is, he can’t guard against everything, especially from those close to him. Don’t worry, the poison I’ll give you is colorless and tasteless. Once ingested, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster like him would be knocked out for at least half an hour.

But to prevent any accidents, as soon as he consumes the poisoned food or drink, you must notify me immediately so I can make arrangements."

"Okay, I agree, but you have to give me fifteen million upfront, ten million isn’t enough."

Han Min clenched her teeth.

"Isn’t your appetite a bit too big?"

Cao Qiu squinted slightly.

"Sorry, but if it’s less than fifteen million, I won’t do it."

Han Min clenched her fist tightly.

"Alright, here you go. I like dealing with people who see eye to eye on money matters, straightforward, haha."
