The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Zhou Changcun speculated on Xu Hao's intentions, while Zhou Jiandong was caught in a dilemma.

If he agreed to Xu Hao's demands now, he would be in a passive position in the future.

But if he refused Xu Hao's demands, Xu could immediately heal Zhou Changcun, which made the decision even more difficult for him.

You Yaozong was moved by Xu Hao's direct confrontation with Zhou Jiandong, feeling incredibly fortunate to have met Xu Hao.

Even his wife, who had lived with him for so many years, left him in times of crisis, yet Xu Hao, who had only had minimal contact with him and whom he had once looked down upon, was willing to help him without holding any grudges!

Xu Hao was truly a good person!

That was what You Yaozong thought to himself.

Finally, Zhou Jiandong nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

Xu Hao said, "As everyone can see, my medication is very effective. However, the more precious something is, the harder it is to formulate. The ingredients needed are valuable, and the process is complex. Just formulating this small bottle of Medicinal Powder took me a full ten days. To truly heal the Zhou family Patriarch, three treatment courses are needed, each lasting one month."

Zhou Jiandong breathed a sigh of relief. According to Xu Hao, he had three months to secure complete control over the Zhou family's power. Otherwise, once Zhou Changcun regained his health, he would lose this great opportunity all over again.

Zhou Jiandong glanced at Xu Hao, having considered whether to just kill Xu off, but it was clearly unrealistic.

He had witnessed Xu Hao's strength, knowing that unless one could enlist a Grandmaster Level Expert, killing Xu would be too difficult.

But before Zhou Jiandong could think further, Xu Hao suddenly added, "Of course, if I manage to formulate a better medication during this process, it is not impossible to heal the Zhou family Patriarch's burns in one day, one hour, or even one minute."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiandong was left speechless.

He had thought to delay the matter concerning You Yaozong to buy himself more time, but Xu obviously understood his intentions, immediately hinting not to play tricks or he could make Zhou Changcun healthy again instantly.

Zhou Jiandong didn't dare to take that risk. If Zhou Changcun recovered immediately, then all the efforts made during this time would have been in vain.

Xu Hao instructed the doctors and nurses to take good care of Zhou Changcun, and also had Wang Zhong send several bodyguards to take shifts and monitor his affairs in real time.

Xu Hao felt that, given Zhou Jiandong's nature, he would definitely not be content with being at his mercy and would surely attempt to fight back.

The members of the Zhou family gradually left, and Lei Qianjue, upon seeing Xu Hao, was very excited and followed Xu and You Yaozong as they left.

Zhou Changcun lay in the hospital bed, unable to move, but his mind was clear as a mirror.

Those who have experienced death once tend to see through things more clearly.

He considered that he might have been too cautious before.

Yet he also felt a bit saddened. Was the mere power of the family worth his own brother betraying him to such an extent?

He just couldn't understand.

…

Zhou Jiandong and Zhou An returned to the Zhou family's villa complex, to his own office.

Zhou An said in a low voice, "Brother Jiandong, about today's matter..."

Even Zhou Jiandong had been snubbed by Xu Hao and had his life and death controlled by someone else, which made Zhou An even more grateful that his decision to move was very wise.

Zhou Jiandong pondered for a moment and then snorted coldly, "Whatever Zhou Jiandong wants, no one can take it from me! So what if Xu Hao is strong in martial arts? I refuse to believe that there's no one in this world who can deal with him!"

Zhou An replied, "Brother Jiandong, getting rid of Xu Hao would indeed solve all the problems, but please don't forget, Xu's sudden rise might indicate a powerful backer. We still don't know who is behind him, and acting rashly now might lead to grave troubles..."

Zhou Jiandong glanced at him, saying, "That's a good point. It's time to thoroughly investigate this Xu Hao's background. The information we have is probably all forged."

After giving a few instructions to his secretary, she immediately left with a swaying of her hips.

Zhou Jiandong turned to Zhou An, "I've already gained control of one-third of the Zhou Group's shares these past few days, but there's a president of a listed company who is stubbornly resistant. This listed company accounts for ten percent of the group's shares and is very important. Brother Zhou An, since you're new here, would you like to give it a try?"

Zhou An understood right away that this was Zhou Jiandong trying to curry favor with him while also testing his capabilities.

A president of a company that held ten percent of Zhou Group's shares, with a market value surely in the hundreds of billions, must be extremely capable.

If he could handle this matter well, that company would become the Jing'an Zhou Family's future asset. If he did not do well, it would be very difficult for him to gain Zhou Jiandong's favor again.
