The Hidden Dragon In-Law-Chapter 79 – Are you tired of living?
Robert Xiao's strike was swift, but James Ye easily dodged it.
Then, James grabbed Robert's wrist with a backhand move, giving it a light shake as he sneered, "What? Your hand injury healed? Forgotten the pain already?"
Robert immediately felt a surge of immense force, causing him to stagger back two steps, both angry and shocked.
This kid's grip is quite strong!
Knowing he wasn't a match for James, Robert cursed coldly, "Damn it, you loser, just wait. I'll get the manager to throw you out right now!"

.
With that, Robert turned and shouted at the nearby manager.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit hurried over, followed by two security guards.
This middle-aged man had an extraordinary demeanor. He smiled at Robert and said, "Mr. Xiao, what can I do for you?"
"Manager, check their invitation letters." Robert pointed at James disdainfully and said, "I suspect their invitations are fake."
For the privacy of the guests, each invitation only had a string of codes, not the guest's name.
By entering the code into a software on the phone, the names of the attendees could be verified.
Seeing Robert's luxurious attire, the manager knew he was from a prestigious family. In contrast, James was dressed plainly, prompting the manager to show a contemptuous smile as he said to James, "Please show your invitation letter so I can verify it."
Although his tone was polite, his eyes held a hint of disdain.
James, sensing the contempt in the manager's eyes, felt anger rising within him and said coldly, "What if I don't?"
The manager coughed lightly, his gaze turning cold as he continued, "Then may I ask which family in Jinling you belong to?"
Before James could respond, Robert interjected, "He's from our Xiao family. No, actually, he's just a live-in son-in-law of our Xiao family. He doesn't even count as a member of the Xiao family. At best, he's just a dog of ours!"
The term "live-in son-in-law" made the manager guess most of the situation.
How could someone with status in Jinling become a live-in son-in-law?
The manager's face darkened as he said, "So, how did you get in?"
Facing the scrutiny of the crowd, James was already impatient and felt disappointed with the Treasure Pavilion's behavior of classifying guests into different levels.
He replied coldly, "I walked in, of course."
Knowing James had a low status, the manager stopped probing and said coldly, "If you don't follow the rules and hand over the invitation for verification, I'll have to ask you to leave."
With that, he waved his hand, and the two security guards immediately stepped forward, glaring at James.
Christopher Xiao, seeing the situation, panicked.
Fearing the invitation might indeed be problematic, he hurriedly said to James, "James, I think we should avoid trouble and leave quickly."
James frowned and asked in surprise, "Dad, you don't want to watch the auction anymore?"
Christopher shook his head and said, "No, this place isn't meant for us. If we get thrown out, it would be embarrassing..."
Seeing his father-in-law had made up his mind, James nodded and led Christopher out.
It's just an auction. He didn't care for it anyway. Since his father-in-law didn't want to stay, there was no need to linger and argue with these people.
As for Patricia Song, if she asked, he would simply say, "I can't afford to attend your Song family's event!"
Then, he turned and left with his father-in-law.
Robert Xiao laughed arrogantly from behind, "Haha, two losers, scared? Feeling guilty? How dare you sneak into the Song family's auction, you're courting death!"
James ignored him and continued walking out.
At that moment, the crowd suddenly erupted in commotion.
The crowd parted in the middle, making way for a man and a woman to enter the venue.
The woman wore a black evening gown, her face delicate and beautiful, her figure exquisite.
Under the bright lights, her beauty and elegance shone through, her every move and even her walking posture exuding grace.
This stunning beauty left Robert Xiao momentarily dazed.
Patricia Song entered the venue, her beautiful eyes scanning the room. Seeing two empty seats in the VIP area, she asked, "The two VIP guests I invited haven't arrived yet?"
Bao Fugui glanced at the guest information, frowned, and said, "Miss Song, the entrance shows that their invitation letters have been verified, meaning they are already at the auction. I don't know where they are now."
He immediately instructed someone nearby, "Go get the manager."

Soon, the manager arrived and asked, "Master Bao, what are your orders?"
Bao Fugui pointed to the two empty VIP seats and asked, "Two VIP guests have had their invitations verified. Why aren't they in their seats?"
"Two VIP guests?" The manager immediately thought of the old and young pair he had just thrown out.
Could it be...
No way...
If they had invitations and were VIPs, why didn't they let me verify?
Were they angry?
It's over...
Seeing the manager's panicked expression, Bao Fugui glanced at a security guard and said, "You explain."
The security guard, not daring to hide anything, quickly recounted what had happened.
After listening, Patricia Song frowned, glanced at Bao Fugui, and said, "Master Bao, I'll go find Mr. Ye. You handle this. I expect a satisfactory result."
Bao Fugui nodded repeatedly. After Patricia Song left, his face turned grim as he glared at the manager, "Are you tired of living? How dare you offend Miss Song's personally invited guests?"
The manager's legs went weak, and he immediately knelt, pointing at Robert Xiao in the distance and crying, "Master, I didn't do it on purpose. It's all this bastard's fault!"
Bao Fugui kicked the manager in the face, knocking him to the ground, and cursed, "You lowlife! Now get out of my sight, and don't let me see you again! Also, all the losses caused today will be compensated by you according to the terms of the labor contract. If there's a single penny missing, I'll kill you!"
"Master... please spare me..."
The manager was terrified. The losses were substantial, and if he had to compensate, even selling everything he owned wouldn't be enough.
"The lawyer will notify you of the compensation amount," Bao Fugui said coldly.
The manager felt the world spinning and kept kowtowing and apologizing.
Bao Fugui, disgusted, kicked him away and signaled the security guards, "Take him out and break his legs! Teach him a lesson!"
Having been in the business world for years, Bao Fugui was no saint. While he couldn't act in front of everyone, he wouldn't let this slide in private.
"Master, I know I was wrong. Please show mercy..." The manager, scared out of his wits, begged for mercy.
Two security guards rushed forward, grabbed his arms, and dragged him away.
Bao Fugui then turned his attention to Robert Xiao and said to someone nearby, "Bring Robert Xiao to me!"
Robert, still feeling smug, was even more delighted to hear that the master of the Treasure Pavilion wanted to see him.
Everyone knew that the master of the Treasure Pavilion had deep connections. If he could curry favor with him, there would be endless benefits!
Standing before Bao Fugui, Robert flattered him, "Ah, Master Bao, it's an honor to meet you! I've long admired your reputation. Seeing you today, you truly are a dragon among men, living up to your name!"
Bao Fugui, gritting his teeth in anger, kicked Robert far away and cursed, "Damn it, Robert Xiao, how dare you offend our Miss Song's guests? Are you tired of living?"
