Hua Yi Xia Li

Chapter 219 The Foolish Son-in-law

After dinner, Jingkou Minglang was happy to bid farewell to Long Xiao, agreeing to go to Xinglin Caotang to find Long Xiao after the money was transferred.

Long Xiao took Xiao Ming into the car and left. Jingkou Minglang immediately called Jingkou Shirou and told him about the situation.

Jingkou Shirou was also very excited to hear that Long Xiao had the "Longevity Pill" and instructed: "Minglang, you must not tell anyone about this. I will transfer one hundred billion to you as soon as possible. When you see Wu Lang, control him. You personally bring the 'Longevity Pill' back to the country."

"Fourth Brother, how should Wu Lang be dealt with?" Jingkou Minglang asked.

Jingkou Shirou hesitated for a moment and said, "If you can avoid killing him, don't. Let the Ji family find a place to detain him temporarily."

After it was completely dark, Long Xiao drove directly to Brother Hu's dog farm in the west of the city.

The person in charge of the dog farm saw Long Xiao and hurriedly ushered him into his office, then called Brother Hu of the West City.

Before long, Brother Hu of the West City entered the room with a black dog.

"Brother Long is here, don't worry, Jingkou Wu Lang has been very well-behaved recently," Brother Hu of the West City said with a smile.

Long Xiao nodded and said, "Call him over, I have something to ask him."

Jingkou Wu Lang was wearing a work uniform, a baseball cap on his head, and was using crutches.

Seeing Long Xiao, he quickly said, "Hello, Brother Long."

In just a few days, Jingkou Wu Lang was like a different person.

Long Xiao smiled and said, "Wu Lang, are you used to staying here?"

Jingkou Wu Lang also smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as I can live, I'm satisfied."

"Wu Lang, one cannot live without ideals, right? Have you ever thought about returning to your country to inherit Jingkou Pharmaceutical Industry?"

Jingkou Wu Lang shook his head and said, "I can't inherit Jingkou Pharmaceutical Industry. I have offended Brother Long, and you won't let me go back. Moreover, even if you let me go back, I haven't made much contribution to Jingkou Pharmaceutical Industry, and my father won't give me the position of chairman."

"Things are not always absolute. I can let you go back and help you inherit Jingkou Pharmaceutical Industry, but I don't want to cultivate an opponent for myself."

Jingkou Wu Lang looked at Long Xiao in shock. He never expected Long Xiao to have such an idea.

With a thud, Jingkou Wu Lang knelt before Long Xiao and said, "Brother Long, I, Jingkou Wu Lang, am also a human being and have humanity. If you help me become the chairman of Jingkou Pharmaceutical Industry, I will definitely follow your lead and never oppose you again."

Long Xiao nodded and said, "Get up, I believe what you say."

After Jingkou Wu Lang stood up, Brother Hu of the West City pulled up a chair for him and had him sit opposite Long Xiao.

Long Xiao carefully recounted the encounter with Jingkou Minglang to Jingkou Wu Lang.

Jingkou Wu Lang was shocked, he did not expect Jingkou Minglang to want his life.

"Wu Lang, I don't know the situation of your Jingkou Pharmaceutical Industry. Is it possible for Jingkou Minglang to also be an heir?"

Jingkou Wu Lang shook his head and said, "Impossible, the only ones who can compete with me are my two elder brothers."

"It seems that one of your brothers is going to make a move against you."

"It must be Shirou. Saburo has a low chance of becoming the heir. The most likely ones are me and Shirou."

"I originally wanted you to bring the 'Longevity Pill' back to the country. With the 'Longevity Pill,' you would have a greater chance of becoming the heir."

If he could take the 'Longevity Pill' back, he would definitely become the heir. Jingkou Wu Lang clearly knew that his father cherished his life very much.

But now, his own men were not around. Let alone returning to the island country, he might lose his life as soon as he left Donghai.

Seeing Jingkou Wu Lang's troubled look, Long Xiao smiled and said, "I will give you a poisoned 'Longevity Pill.' Your father will have an antidote after taking it, extending his life by ten years. Without the antidote, he will only live for a week. Tell me, what will your father do then?"

"Detoxify, try every means to detoxify."

"If he can't detoxify, and the antidote is only with you, will he come to find you?"

"He will definitely come to find me, the temptation of ten years of life is too great."

After finishing, Jingkou Wu Lang finally understood. He said happily, "At that time, if he wants the antidote, he will have to make me the heir."

Long Xiao nodded and said, "You are right, but I hope you won't go back on your word after I help you. I don't trust you islanders very much."

"Don't worry, Brother Long, I'm different from other islanders. Repaying kindness with enmity is not my style," Jingkou Wu Lang said with a look of joy.

After talking with Jingkou Wu Lang, Long Xiao gave him some wound medicine to help his leg heal faster.

Long Xiao returned to the Lin family just before midnight. As he walked into the living room, he saw Nangong Yue sitting on the sofa watching television.

Seeing Long Xiao, Nangong Yue hurriedly got up and said, "Good son-in-law, you're back. Sister Lu asked me to give this to you to eat."

Long Xiao looked at the pill, about the size of a broad bean, in Nangong Yue's hand and asked, "Poison?"

Nangong Yue shook her head and said, "No, it's a sleeping pill. You'll sleep for two days after eating it."

Long Xiao took the pill and smelled it carefully. He quickly analyzed its composition. This pill not only made people sleep, but it was also a power-dissipating pill that would disperse the qi in the dan tian after consumption.

Long Xiao had no idea who instructed Sister Lu and the others, or what they were trying to do. He decided to meet them.

"Mom, tomorrow you can invite Sister Lu and them for a meal. I'll eat this pill in front of them."

"Good son-in-law, are they trying to harm you? You can't eat it," Nangong Yue said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mom, this pill won't work on me."

Nangong Yue nodded with relief and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for them tomorrow morning, and we'll have lunch together."

Back in his room, Long Xiao carefully reread the poison catalog in the "Dragon Scripture" and found a poison pill that could find the materials for both the poison and the antidote.

The catalog recorded all sorts of peculiar poisons. The preparation and detoxification of ordinary poisons were simply introduced at the end of the catalog, taking less than a hundred words to finish.

After understanding the preparation of ordinary poisons and antidotes, coupled with his life force that could cure all poisons, Long Xiao was basically unaffected by any ordinary poisons that could be found in the world.

Early in the morning, after Long Xiao finished his morning practice, he went to Xinglin Caotang to prepare the poison and antidote.

He specifically got a vessel and took an hour to make the poison and antidote. He had Xiao Ming find a place to bury the vessel used to make the poison, as he was worried about someone accidentally poisoning themselves.

He fused a poisonous pill with a "Longevity Pill" and stored it in a jade box bought from the antique street, making it look more impressive.

Everything was ready, and it was almost noon. Long Xiao received a call from Nangong Yue, who told him that the dining location was set at Juxian Tower in the east of the city.

Long Xiao and Xiao Ming took a taxi to Juxian Tower. Nangong Yue was already waiting for them in a private room on the third floor.

After the three of them sat for ten minutes, Sister Lu and two other old women also pushed the door open and walked in.

"This is Aunt Lu, this is Aunt Yu..."

Nangong Yue put on a condescending air and introduced the three old women to Long Xiao.

After Long Xiao respectfully greeted each of them one by one, Nangong Yue threw the pill to Long Xiao and said, "Alright, eat this."

Nangong Yue had bragged to Sister Lu and the others that morning that she could make Long Xiao eat the pill if she wanted him to, even if it was poison.

The three old women did not believe it. Where could such a foolish son-in-law be found? He would eat whatever his mother-in-law told him to eat.

She had worked so hard to set up this scheme for Nangong Yue, and it turned out to be so simple. If she had known, she would have offered her tens of thousands of yuan and had her order Long Xiao to eat the pill directly, which would have been much easier.

Long Xiao picked up the pill and, without hesitation, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

The three old women were stunned, seeing that he ate it without even asking what kind of medicine it was.

After watching Long Xiao finish the pill, Nangong Yue said, "See? My son-in-law has to listen to me. Whatever I tell him to eat, he eats."

"Sister Yue is too amazing..."

The three women praised Nangong Yue and returned the IOUs she had written for her debts, then began to order food.

After eating for a while, Long Xiao said, "Mom, Aunt Lu, I'm feeling sleepy and can't hold on any longer. I want to go back and sleep."

Sister Lu showed a satisfied smile. Nangong Yue waved her hand and said, "Let Xiao Ming help you back. We'll eat for a while longer."
