The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

However, Xu Hao's one statement had dragged the Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Yong, into this.

Wu Yong represented the Wu Family.

If he didn't speak up and release Xin Peixian now, in the eyes of others, he would seem like a man petty enough to quarrel with a mere security guard, a Family Head of a major clan with no magnanimity—a rather embarrassing affair.

But if he did release him, it would inevitably cause Mao Jinxi's discontent.

And at this moment, Mao Jinxi represented the Mao Family; her displeasure signified the dissatisfaction of the entire Mao Family.

At this point, Wu Mengchong spoke up, "Xu Hao, this is an issue between us, why elevate it to our fathers' level?"

Xu Hao indifferently replied, "Now, it's you who want to oppose me. You all these families have banded together, but can you, Wu Mengchong, represent the Wu Family?"

Wu Mengchong instantly dared not speak; his dad, Wu Yong, was here, what could he, Wu Mengchong, even represent!

Xu Hao sneered, "When adults are talking, children should not interrupt, understand? Us? Are you even worthy to speak to me? Do you even have the keys? How many can you handle?!"

Xu Hao's words instantly ignited Wu Mengchong's rage, and he almost charged over to hit Xu Hao.

He was the eldest young master of the Wu Family; who in Huadu didn't treat him with great respect?

Which member of the younger generation didn't respectfully call him "Young Master Wu" when they saw him?

Yet now, he was being disrespected!

"Calm down!"

Wu Yong huffed coldly, held back the impatient Wu Mengchong, then turned to Xu Hao, sneered and said, "I originally thought you were merely skillful, but I didn't expect your verbal Kung Fu to be this strong too. Very well! As for this opponent, our Wu Family will take it on; I'm curious to see who exactly stands behind you! Let him through!"

At Wu Yong's command, the bodyguard immediately ran off.

Xin Peixian was sweating all over, and though it hadn't been three minutes, he felt as though he had undergone severe torture, his sweat pouring down.

He walked up to Xu Hao, eyes filled with gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Young Master Xu, for saving me!"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "It was nothing. I already said that once I protect someone, no one dares disturb them, not even the Wu Family!"

Wu Yong snorted coldly, yet said no more, as the Wu Family had already lost enough face. If he misspoke again, Xu Hao might continue to attack, and his dignity would be even harder to maintain.

Xu Hao chuckled lightly and headed towards the banquet hall with Xiao Lan, everyone else quickly following.

At the indication of Sun Decong, a staff member brought over a set of clothes that Xin Peixian wore before he proceeded to enter.

Once Xu Hao and the others had left, Wu Yong spoke softly, "Xu Hao is a tough nut to crack, Mengchong, you better be careful next time; Jinxi, let's put an end to this matter for today, there will be other opportunities to deal with that lad."

Mao Jinxi nodded slightly and said, "Uncle, I understand. I'm just very curious about what background Xu Hao has that leads to such support from the two major families of Huadu."

Wu Yong pondered slightly and said, "Some things, we may not hear about, but it doesn't mean the older generation doesn't know. Let's wait and see; if necessary, we'll ask the old man to come out of retirement, I believe he might see something."

Wu Mengchong was slightly shocked and said, "Dad, isn't that overdoing it? It's just Xu Hao, is it really necessary to trouble grandpa?"

Wu Yong shook his head slightly, sighed deeply, and said, "There are things you don't understand, go on in."

Seeing Wu Yong unwilling to say more, Mao Jinxi and the others suppressed their doubts and followed him into the banquet hall.

Meanwhile, Li Chenggong had already returned to his seat.

Following the brief confrontation between Xu Hao and Wu Mengchong, Li Chenggong had understood a lot; Huadu was swirling with hidden currents, and many things were not as simple as one might imagine. Simply currying favor with Chen Hai was not enough for his investment here.

But he wasn't too worried, since Tiannan was currently undergoing rapid commercial development and was in great need of substantial funding, he was confident in finding partners.

The banquet hall returned to the peaceful atmosphere of the beginning.

After three rounds of drinks, Chen Hai stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, we are celebrating Old Mr. Li's arrival. Given everyone's valuable time, Old Mr. Li's subsequent plans will also be discussed in the coming moments.

"Great!"

The audience clapped together; their primary purpose in attending this banquet was to compete for the chance to collaborate with the Li Family from Hongkong, and Chen Hai, as always, handled matters efficiently, getting straight to the point.

Chen Hai's straightforward introduction left Li Chenggong stunned—it was his first time encountering an official who spoke and acted so quickly.

After a brief pause, he let his secretary step up to the podium to announce their investment plans in Tiannan.

Soon, everyone understood that Li Chenggong was planning to build a large film and television base, initiating with funding estimated at over ten billion, aiming to become a large film and television industry park with assets of a hundred billion.

The ten billion in initial funding immediately caused most people to frown.
