Eternally Regressing in Another World
Chapter 86: Mother-in-Law Ling Xueyan (2)
Wang Yue could not be bothered wrangling with people like this. Two palms, puff puff, and he finished the Liu father and son’s lives. Then he turned to look at the burly man.
"Young Master Wang, spare us. We only acted on orders. We never dared offend the two misses. Young Master Li was hit by Liu Sheng and his father. It has nothing to do with us." The burly man had not thought Wang Yue would be this ruthless, not one wasted word before killing the Liu father and son. He shook all over like a sieve.
Wang Yue called Li Menglan and her sister to sit with him, then said to the burly man, "What’s your name? What part of the Crocodile Gang do you handle?"
"This humble one is called He Biao. In the gang I handle force and intimidation." He Biao did not dare hide it and said it straight. So-called force and intimidation was just hired muscle.
"Didn’t think you shared a surname with Aunt He. Maybe five hundred years ago you were one family." Wang Yue suddenly smiled.
He Biao did not know what Wang Yue meant and did not dare answer.
Li Menglan smiled and said nothing.
Li Yingying snorted. "We would never be one family with him. He’s a bad man."
Wang Yue smiled. "Yingying, don’t say that. Maybe he’s not that bad."
"Yes, yes. This humble one truly hasn’t done much bad. I usually just use my size to scare people. I rarely even get a chance to hit anyone." He Biao said in a hurry.
Wang Yue naturally would not believe his ghost talk, but he still had a use for this man, so he did not expose him. He asked, "He Biao, do you want to die or live?"
"If Young Master Wang tells this humble one to die, wanting to live won’t keep me alive. If Young Master Wang doesn’t tell this humble one to die, wanting to die won’t get me killed." He Biao looked big, dark, and rough, but his mouth was quite slick. "Whether this humble one lives or dies is all one word from Young Master Wang."
"Good. Then I’ll give you a chance to live. From now on this Crocodile Gang is yours. Protect the Li family well for me. If anything happens to them I’ll come to you alone." Wang Yue said. "If you run into trouble you can’t solve, you can contact me too."
Then he gave the number of his communicator.
He Biao was overjoyed at once. He had not thought that not only would he not be punished, he would be named Crocodile Gang boss by a Wang Family young master.
He was not a martial artist and could not cow the whole gang with force the way the boss who had just died could, but having a giant like the Wang Family at his back was far more forceful than mere intimidation.
"Young Master Wang, rest easy. From now on Lady He is my own grand-aunt. Young Master Li Gang and Miss Yingying are my uncle and aunt. Even if I die I won’t let anyone hurt a hair on them!" He Biao said it with an oath.
"Then I’ll watch how you do. If you do well I can consider developing you into an outer martial artist of our Wang Family." Wang Yue gave He Biao another sweet date.
"Many thanks, Young Master Wang!" This time He Biao was truly overjoyed. In this age who did not hope to become a martial artist? Martial artists were not only far stronger than ordinary people. They could also live better and longer.
"Sister Lan, Yingying, let’s go." Wang Yue paid He Biao no more mind, called the two girls, and left the bar with them. As for the aftermath, he believed He Biao could handle it well. The man looked like an old slick who had mixed on the road a long time.
In the vehicle Li Menglan could not help praising him. "Young Master, I didn’t think you understood the way of managing people so well. Kindness and might together, and you made that He Biao loyal body and soul in one go, and grabbed the Crocodile Gang’s force while you were at it. If the Old Madam knew she would be especially pleased."
"Is that so? I didn’t think that much." Wang Yue rubbed his nose, a bit embarrassed.
He truly had not thought that much. He only felt he should get the Li family one more layer of protection. He Biao happened to be someone he could pinch, so he did it straight.
Now that Li Menglan put it that way, it sounded like he had truly been a master planner. Even with the face Wang Yue had trained some, he still found it hard to take.
Pfft.
Li Yingying could not help laughing.
A moment ago Wang Yue killing without blinking had looked just like a great demon king. Now in front of her sister he showed a child’s look. Especially that rubbing of the nose from embarrassment. It looked both funny and cute.
Wang Yue knew what Li Yingying was laughing at. He hurried to cough dryly and change the subject. "Sister Lan, with the Crocodile Gang watching now, and after this matter more people will surely know your family’s tie to the Wang Family, you won’t need to worry later. Yingying, if anything comes up later, or if money isn’t enough, go find that He Biao. If he dares not be honest, I’ll deal with him!"
Li Yingying agreed happily. Li Menglan sighed. "With my mom’s nature, other things are fine. Making her take the Crocodile Gang’s money, I’m afraid she won’t agree no matter what."
"What work does Aunt He do now?" Wang Yue asked.
Li Menglan could not answer that either. She turned to look at her sister.
At that Li Yingying’s happy look shrank at once. She said, worried, "Mom only does odd jobs. The house all depends on Ge moving goods at a warehouse for pay. But now that he’s hurt like this..."
"Don’t worry. We brought quite a few spirit medicines this time. Your ge’s wounds will heal soon." Wang Yue comforted her. "Also, Sister Lan, in a bit we’ll go somewhere and see if we can find Aunt He a steady job."
"Where?" Li Menglan asked. She was even less polite with Wang Yue now, because in her heart she had already decided on her own that from now on her whole person was his. Whether he wanted her or not, she would not change.
"The Chen Group." Wang Yue said.
The Three Great Martial Families of Golden Mountain City all had their own businesses, but what they ran was mostly tied to martial artists and not suited for ordinary people to work.
Only the Chen family, because they had produced a commercial genius, had slowly expanded from the martial circle into every trade. After more than twenty years of growth they now held the economic lifeline of all Golden Mountain City.
That commercial genius of the Chen Family was Ling Xueyan, who in those years, with unmatched talent for business and peerless looks, had been called one of the Four Peerless of Golden Mountain City together with Su Mengyan.
She was also the mother of Wang Yue’s fiancée Chen Xi. Wang Yue’s future mother-in-law.
