CHAPTER 1106: CHAPTER 1106: THE FATHER-IN-LAW ARRIVES

Fan Mingzhe heard what those girls said, and he was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning, his mind a blank.

The director of "My Beautiful CEO Wife"?

Fan Mingzhe remembered what Xiao Zheng mentioned at the dining table before about working on a small project recently. It turned out this small project was that god-level movie with a box office of over four billion!

At this moment, Xiao Zheng, facing those enthusiastic young girls, was also feeling a bit overwhelmed. He pointed to Fan Mingzhe and said, "That guy standing over there is also a big star, why don’t you go talk to him? I’m actually busy right now."

One of the girls turned to look at Fan Mingzhe, then turned back disdainfully, "Him, I know this guy. Isn’t he just a little pretty boy? Someone like him isn’t worth our attention."

"Yeah, exactly."

The other girls all nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Hearing this, Fan Mingzhe snapped back to reality, a wry smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he walked away dejectedly.

He originally was full of spirit, but now he was completely deflated, exuding a sense of dejection.

Someone he always looked down upon turned out to be a big shot he couldn’t even begin to look up to.

He really felt ridiculous, thinking about all the things he had done before, Fan Mingzhe felt like he was nothing but a clown.

Everything he was proud of was crushed to dust by Xiao Zheng.

...

After dismissing those female fans, Xiao Zheng drove back to Yunlan Villa, and it was already noon by then.

Xiao Zheng no longer felt like practicing his skills, so he just sank into the big sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and prepared to relax.

But just then, the phone rang again.

Xiao Zheng checked the caller ID and found out it was his father-in-law, Leng Ruobing’s father, Leng Haitang.

He was a bit puzzled.

Leng Haitang was an old fox, and knowing Xiao Zheng’s status, he generally wouldn’t contact him unless it was important.

"Seriously, one thing after another," Xiao Zheng sighed, but since it was his father-in-law’s call, he still had to answer it.

After answering, a hearty laugh came from the other end, "Hahaha, my dear son-in-law, what have you been up to lately? Are you free today?"

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "What’s the matter, Uncle Leng?"

Although Xiao Zheng was the Evil God, standing at the peak of this world, Leng Haitang was after all Leng Ruobing’s elder, so he addressed Leng Haitang as Uncle Leng.

Normally, he should call him father-in-law, but Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing, although married, hadn’t had any substantive progress, so calling him father-in-law felt awkward, hence he called Leng Haitang Uncle Leng.

Leng Haitang didn’t mind this at all, thick-skinned as he was, he kept calling Xiao Zheng his dear son-in-law.

"Hahaha, it’s nothing major, I just want to treat you to a meal, and I have a friend who wants to meet you," Leng Haitang laughed.

Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. He generally disliked such troublesome matters, but on account of Leng Ruobing, he eventually agreed.

On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Leng Haitang looked at someone and smiled bitterly, "Old friend, I really had to use up a big favor for you."

Leng Haitang naturally knew that troubling the Evil God might cause resentment. What kind of person is the Evil God? He stood at the summit of the world, and bothering him with trivial matters could easily provoke displeasure, potentially leading to huge losses.

"Brother Leng, I will forever remember your kindness this time," Hong Sanquan said solemnly and earnestly.

This time, he encountered a big crisis, begged many people, and found no solutions. Eventually, left with no choice, he heard about his old friend Leng Haitang’s son-in-law possessing immense power and came to seek his help.

...

Xiao Zheng soon went to the address given by Leng Haitang, arriving at a very upscale teahouse and entered a private room.

Leng Haitang was there, and upon seeing Xiao Zheng enter, his face immediately filled with a warm smile, and he got up to greet him like a subject meeting the Emperor.

A slightly portly man in his forties or fifties beside him also quickly stood up, bowed to Xiao Zheng, and was very respectful.

After some small talk, the three of them sat down, and Leng Haitang smiled introducing Xiao Zheng, "My dear son-in-law, this is my old friend, named Hong Sanquan. Hahaha, you can just call him Old Hong."

Though Hong Sanquan and Leng Haitang were peers, Leng Haitang dared not allow Xiao Zheng to call Hong Sanquan anything like Uncle Hong.

There was no other reason, Hong Sanquan simply couldn’t bear it.

In this world, probably no one could withstand such an address from Xiao Zheng.

"I’ve long heard of the Evil God, initially thinking it must be a majestic middle-aged man. After all, to build such a vast empire, how could it be done in less than decades?" Hong Sanquan quickly complimented with a smile, "Unexpectedly, I met a vigorous young man, truly making me admire and respect greatly."

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and said, "You’re too kind."

Leng Haitang then spoke, "Dear son-in-law, I won’t hide it from you. This Hong Sanquan is a good friend of mine. Back in the day, when we were still nobodies, we went overseas to do business in war-torn areas and shared life-and-death connections. So, this time, when he encountered a crisis and came to me, I didn’t mind using my old face to ask for your help, hahaha."

Hong Sanquan, also a crafty character, hearing Leng Haitang say this, immediately got up from his seat, kneeled down, and said to Xiao Zheng, "Evil God, please save my family’s life."

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Old Hong, please get up. Since you’re a friend of Uncle Leng, helping you with a favor is no problem."

Xiao Zheng mainly considered it for Leng Ruobing’s sake; otherwise, what concern was it of his what happens to Hong Sanquan?

Hearing this, Hong Sanquan knew Xiao Zheng had agreed and gratefully stood up and sat back down.

Xiao Zheng asked, "What kind of trouble are you in?"

Hong Sanquan quickly replied, "It’s a long story, and I have to start from when I was young. It’s quite a long-standing grudge."

Xiao Zheng wasn’t in a hurry and said, "Take your time."

Hong Sanquan began telling the story promptly.

It turns out the one trying to kill his family was once his good friend back in those days.
