My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 541 - 542

Chapter 541: 542

"You better not run away!"

Ding Shan said to Xiao Chen, "If you have guts, wait for my brother to come!"

He really feared that Xiao Chen might preemptively strike and take him out, so he said somewhat nervously.

"Don’t worry, I won’t run. I’m free anyway."

Xiao Chen said indifferently, looking at a bottle of red wine on the table and started drinking it straightaway.

"I didn’t expect you to be quite the wine connoisseur. That’s not a cheap bottle, is it?"

"That’s a treasured vintage I bought for two hundred thousand. Don’t you waste it."

Ding Shan was annoyed, but helplessly he didn’t dare to stop Xiao Chen, knowing well that he was no match for people like Xiao Chen.

The smartest thing to do was to wait for someone to come to his aid.

"It won’t go to waste. If I don’t drink it, this wine would probably be left without an owner."

Xiao Chen said nonchalantly, "Although I don’t know who you’ve invited, let me give you a heads up.

To take me on, you’d at least need to call over the ten great Aristocratic Clans from the north.

Of course, even if you did invite them, they wouldn’t be able to handle me.

Just don’t be too surprised later."

"How much have you drunk to be this delusional?"

Ding Shan looked at Xiao Chen with disdain. Of course, he didn’t take Xiao Chen’s words seriously—a person who treats someone like Wang Zhi as a brother couldn’t be any big shot.

He walked to the window and looked outside, waiting anxiously.

After about twenty minutes, several people walked in.

Ding Shan was eager to run out but was stopped by the people at the door.

"Let him go."

Xiao Chen said.

The people at the door made way.

Ding Shan rushed outside and said to the man leading the group, "Brother Chong, some blind bastard here doesn’t take me seriously, let alone our Tianhai Ding Family.

He even said that to deal with him, it would take at least the ten great Aristocratic Clans from the north."

"Hmph, what an arrogant claim!"

Killing intent flashed in Ding Chong’s eyes. To disrespect the ten great Aristocratic Clans of the north was one thing, but to disregard his Tianhai Ding Family was unacceptable.

"What’s that person’s name?"

"He didn’t say his name!"

Ding Shan shook his head.

"Not daring to give his name, huh? He must be scared of being exposed. Come on, let’s see what this dog looks like."

Ding Chong sneered, "In today’s Tianhai, to not give the Ding Family face is akin to wishing for death!"

"Exactly, Brother Chong, you must stand up for me this time!"

Ding Shan was ecstatic, leading the way ahead.

As Ding Chong got to the door, he saw those ten people from the Ding Family and felt they looked very familiar, but didn’t think much of it.

How could people from the Tianhai Ding Family be in Beilao City?

However, the moment he entered, he saw Ding Mulan.

He might not recognize Xiao Chen, but there was no way he could fail to recognize Ding Mulan.

"Thump!"

Ding Chong suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling all over, his face ashen and sweat beading on his forehead, clearly terrified.

"Brother, why did you kneel?"

Ding Shan was stunned.

What kind of person was Ding Chong?

Even within the Tianhai Ding Family, he was capable of standing on his own, sent to Beilao City to oversee all matters here, which at least put him in the middle management.

But he had actually knelt before a woman.

Ding Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

Ding Chong kneeling down must have a reason; this he knew without thinking. But he didn’t understand who this woman in front of him was.

"Ding Chong, wow, you come here with such pomp, are you here to kill me?"

Ding Mulan looked coldly at Ding Chong, utterly disappointed.

She had hoped so much that it wasn’t Ding Chong who would come because although Ding Chong was not born into the Ding Family, he had been granted the Ding surname by her father and was her father’s prized Disciple.

The future hope of the Ding Family.

He was sent here to Beilao City to enhance Ding Chong’s abilities.

What a pity!

When Ding Chong showed up, she was deeply disappointed and heartbroken.

"Family Head! Family Head! I was wrong, I was wrong! It was all his doing, he lured me onto the boat!"

Ding Chong frantically kowtowed, shouting as he did.

Family Head!

The Family Head of the Ding Family!

In that instant, Ding Shan felt as if his soul was completely drained.

He collapsed onto the ground.

The woman before him was none other than Ding Mulan, the Family Head of the Ding Family.

My God, what had he just said, what had he done?

His mind started to go numb, and everything went blank.

Even Ding Mulan was standing there.

Then who was the man sitting by the table?

A name was on the verge of being uttered.

Fear dominated Ding Shan’s heart.

He had actually opposed the Wangs from Tianhai, crossed paths with the Family Head of the Xiao Family of Jiangnan!

"You’re not wrong, I am the one who’s wrong!"

Ding Mulan shook her head as she looked at Ding Chong, "I trusted you, valued you, and wanted to groom you into a pillar of the Ding Family.

Designating important responsibilities in the future.

Unfortunately, you have greatly disappointed me.

It was my blindness that led me to choose you.

Will you do it yourself, or shall I?"

Ding Chong shook his head, "No, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die. The ignorant are blameless. If I had known it was you, I definitely wouldn’t have come."

He suddenly turned and kicked Ding Shan over: "Bastard, it’s all your fault, all your fault. If it hadn’t been for you, how could I have possibly come here.

If it hadn’t been for you, how could I have ended up in this mess!"

"Big Brother Chong, you can’t say that. Wasn’t it you who wanted that Jianzhan? I only went to bother Wang Jianmin’s household for you.

Now you’re blaming it on me?

If it hadn’t been for your protection and instigation, I wouldn’t have reached this point either."

Ding Shan quickly retorted, having regained his composure.

"Nonsense!"

Ding Chong kicked Ding Shan over again.

The two were entangled and fighting, creating an ugly scene.

"Enough!"

Ding Mulan shouted angrily, "Ding Chong, you well knew the rules of our Ding Family, yet intentionally broke them, compounding your crime.

Given that you are my father’s close disciple, I’ll give you a clean death.

Otherwise, were I to send you there, you would understand what’s worse than death."

Ding Chong stopped.

He shivered, suddenly knelt down: "Family Head, I was blinded momentarily and committed an unforgivable mistake.

I am willing to take my own life; I only hope it does not implicate my wife and children."

"Am I that kind of person?"

Ding Mulan said coldly.

"Thank you, Family Head. Also, please don’t let my child know about my mistakes; just say I died in an accident while away."

After finishing his words, Ding Chong immediately slit his own throat.

He knew the gravity of the mistake he had committed.

He also knew how terrifying that place was.

If he didn’t die, he would have to face trial, and in the end, it might even bring trouble to his family.

Seeing Ding Chong die before him, Ding Shan trembled all over.

He wanted to run away but found that his legs were completely devoid of strength.

He looked towards Xiao Chen, the man who was still calmly sipping red wine.

It was over!

He had actually threatened this man!

Had even said he would kill this man!

This man was the Family Head of the Xiao Family of Jiangnan, a formidable figure feared even by northern aristocratic clans.

He had truly courted his own death.

Truly, he was beyond help.
