The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 40 The Live-In Son-In-Law

Halfway up the mountain, at the Long family villa.

In the villa's opulent hall, a woman, past her prime but still trying, sat on the sofa.

Her face was heavily made up, adorned with gold and silver, and dressed in luxurious clothes.

Yet, she possessed an incredibly ugly appearance.

Beady eyes and sausage-like thick lips.

Her figure was short and round, like a gasoline drum.

A man paced anxiously before her.

He appeared to be past forty, but maintained a good figure and was still quite dashing.

The man was named Long Qianzhan, and he was Long Yaoyang's father.

The woman was Long Qianzhan's wife, Long Yaoyang's mother, Wu Meili.

"Can you stop walking back and forth? You're making me dizzy!"

Looking at Long Qianzhan pacing back and forth, Wu Meili impatiently raised her heavy eyelids.

Long Qianzhan sighed, "Yaoyang hasn't been heard from. Aren't you worried?"

Wu Meili snorted.

"That little bastard, who knows which wild woman he's off having fun with? Like father, like son!"

Long Qianzhan frowned. "What are you saying? Don't forget, he left with your elder brother!"

Wu Meili's eyes widened, and she shouted,

"What do you mean by that, you Long? Just because he left with my elder brother, that's why you're worried about him?"

"Hmph, what do you know? My elder brother Wu Dingbang is a Qi Realm master. What danger could Yaoyang be in with him?"

Long Qianzhan's expression was uncertain.

"I always feel uneasy. I've already sent people to look for him, but it's been three or four hours, and there's still no news of Yaoyang."

Just then, a butler-like man walked in.

"Master!"

Long Qianzhan's spirits lifted, and he went to meet him.

"How is it, Lao Zhou? Have you found Yaoyang?"

Lao Zhou shook his head.

"Not yet, but Master doesn't need to worry.

I've already sent more people to look for him. I believe it won't be long before we have news of the young master."

Long Qianzhan's brow furrowed.

"My eyelids have been twitching these past few days. I keep feeling like something bad is going to happen."

Wu Meili sat up on the sofa, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

"You're just worrying for nothing. I told you, Yaoyang is with my elder brother. What could happen to him?"

Long Qianzhan couldn't take it anymore and scolded angrily,

"It's precisely because he's with Wu Dingbang that I'm worried!"

Long Qianzhan's outburst was like kicking a hornet's nest.

Wu Meili immediately became unreasonable.

"You better explain yourself clearly, you Long. Why are you worried because Yaoyang is with my elder brother? What do you mean by that?"

"Don't forget, you were just a small carpenter. You're only living the life you have today because my Wu family gave it to you. Don't be ungrateful!"

Long Qianzhan was just a small carpenter when he was young, working at Wu's family construction site to make a living.

But he was handsome, tall and mighty, so Wu Meili took a fancy to him and took him in as her live-in husband.

Although Long Qianzhan lived the life of a wealthy man after marrying into the family,

The entire Wu family, including Wu Meili, never treated him like a person.

He could only live by their whims, keeping his tail between his legs.

Until today, when his son's whereabouts were unknown and his life or death uncertain, Long Qianzhan finally exploded.

He pointed at Wu Meili's nose and yelled,

"Wu Meili, don't you forget, this is Jiang City, Qi Tianhu's territory, and your brother is a member of the Wolf Gang!"

"Qi Tianhu and the Wolf Gang are sworn enemies, you know that, right?!"

Wu Meili snorted dismissively.

"So what? I don't believe Qi Tianhu would dare do anything to my son!"

"Although you're a useless coward, the Wu family behind me is not someone a mere Qi Tianhu can afford to provoke!"

Long Qianzhan was speechless. He had nothing to say to Wu Meili.

Wu Meili was a woman with a willful nature.

Even though she was over fifty, her mind was still stuck in her teens.

Arrogant and conceited.

Just then, someone came to report again.

"Master, we found a woman who has been very close to the young master these past few days!"

Long Qianzhan immediately said, "Bring her in quickly!"

Soon, Sun Li was brought in.

As soon as he saw Sun Li, Long Qianzhan anxiously asked, "Do you know where Long Yaoyang is?"

Sun Li looked aggrieved and shook her head, "I don't know. I can't contact him either."

As soon as Wu Meili saw Sun Li's appearance, she looked disgusted.

"What's the point of bringing her here if she doesn't know anything? Get her out of here!"

No one knows a son like his mother.

Looking at Sun Li's temperament and appearance, Wu Meili could tell.

Long Yaoyang was just putting on a show with her, just playing around.

As soon as Wu Meili finished speaking, two people immediately came over, grabbed Sun Li's arms, and dragged her out.

Sun Li said anxiously, "Although I don't know where Long Yaoyang is, I know this must have something to do with someone!"

Long Qianzhan was stunned and asked sternly, "Tell me, who is that person!"

Sun Li gritted her teeth, "That person's name is Chen Xiao!"
