Chapter 806: Father-in-law, Mother-in-law
Li Hui was utterly flabbergasted when she saw the drug lord, who was indeed chubby and big-eared, looking just like a fat pig.
The girl following behind him, twisting and turning, was just as chubby and big-eared, a sight to behold.
Li Hui had a hard time swallowing her saliva. "My God," she thought, "don’t tell me this is my future daughter-in-law!"
And, unsurprisingly, it really was!
Li Hui was instantly struck speechless, as if thunderstruck.
It wasn’t that she was obsessed with looks, but there should be a limit to the difference, right?
This girl weighed at least five times more than Nangong Jin, not to mention her identity.
Although the Nangong Family were involved in the underworld, drugs were where they drew the line—they didn’t touch them.
Therefore, they couldn’t possibly want to have any dealings with drug traffickers!
Before they could even speak, the drug lord had already rushed over with great enthusiasm, his big body wobbling, sweating profusely, wiping his sweat while warmly and cordially calling, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
Li Hui: "..."
Nangong Tiancheng: "..."
The girl, likely inheriting her father’s enthusiasm, had a plump face that beamed so widely her eyes disappeared. She clung to Li Hui, warmly calling out, "Mom, Dad."
Li Hui felt like vomiting blood. The child was enthusiastic and polite, but, damn it, this was too much!
Although Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui were really overwhelmed, both were seasoned in the ways of the underworld and knew how to handle situations.
Li Hui patted the girl’s hand. "Sweetie, no need to be so affectionate, calling me ’auntie’ will do. My son has been pushed into hiding by you guys; shouldn’t we find him before discussing anything else? He seems to be injured and can’t go to a hospital. What do you think..."
"No worries, no worries, mother-in-law," the drug lord said enthusiastically. "We’ve already found him, don’t worry, absolutely don’t worry. With me here, nothing bad will happen to him."
"You found him?" Nangong Tiancheng frowned.
"Yes. We just got the news. He should have been picked up by my people and brought home by now. We hadn’t had time to get back there yet when we heard that the father-in-law and mother-in-law had come in person. So, we hurried over to welcome you."
Li Hui wiped her sweat and smiled gently, "Thanks for that. But the kids haven’t agreed yet, so let’s not be too affectionate. We’re about the same age, so let’s just address each other as brothers."
The drug lord was startled, then instantly beamed a wide smile, nodding hurriedly, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please, this way."
It wasn’t an exaggeration from the drug lord; the Nangong Family really was a big name in the Empire’s underworld, being the largest arms dealer in the Empire, primarily dealing in arms and smuggling.
They were no joking matter, having their own armament factories.
Of course, the drug lord would not dare to cross them, not only unwilling to mess with them but also hoping to latch onto this big tree.
Yet, here the drug lord was a kind of local tyrant, a kingpin, naturally wielding his own influence, troops, and firepower.
He wouldn’t dare confront the Nangong Family head-on, but a softer approach might not be out of the question, considering his plans in this remote area.
But Nangong Tiancheng was clearly not foolish. In the face of the drug lord’s enthusiasm, he merely said indifferently, "No need for pleasantries, just send my son back. This transaction will only cost you what you paid, we won’t make a profit from you. Let’s pretend this never happened."
