Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Going to Jail

"Don’t believe me? Don’t believe me, go out and ask around yourself. See what happened to the last guy who crossed my big brother. When he sees my big brother, his legs shake and he wets his pants. He’s even too scared to call him ’dad’ when asked to call ’grandpa’. If you don’t want to end up like him, you’d better let me go quickly. That way, I can still plead for you in front of my big brother and let you off. Otherwise, with your little body, my big brother will definitely play you to death."

"Who’s your big brother?"

The shop assistant’s mouth was dry, thinking he was out of luck, but unexpectedly Xu Ke spoke up, reviving his spirits instantly.

He was just an ordinary worker. What did he know about any big brother’s reputation? He just made it up on the spot. But seeing Xu Ke might buy it, he perked up and said, "On the streets, everyone respectfully calls my big brother Tiger Brother. You’re not worthy of knowing his real name."

"I also mix in street circles. I only know there’s a Knife Brother in Shangjing. Never heard of a Tiger Brother. Kid, even if you’re lying, you should choose the right person." Xu Ke said coldly, twisting the assistant’s arm harder, making him cry out in pain, his face turning flustered where Xu Ke couldn’t see.

Realizing Xu Ke had seen through another’s lie, the assistant, with a hand on his neck, stopped trying to threaten Xu Ke to let him go and instead took another approach. "Sir, what happened earlier was my fault. I got confused for a moment and did something wrong. But I had no choice. My family is from the countryside, so I married early. My wife got pregnant right after we married, and gave birth to a son within a year. I have the old to care for and the young to raise!"

The assistant wailed while explaining his family’s situation. Seeing Xu Ke didn’t shut him up, he continued bravely, "My family’s situation is not good. My parents are in poor health, and just visiting the hospital each month takes up half of my salary. The child is still young, and the elderly can’t handle the fuss, so the kid’s mom stays home with him. I’m the main support of our family. If something happens to me, our family is finished. Please, give me a break. It’s my first offense."

The assistant forced out a few tears. While his family did have some burdens, it wasn’t as bad as he made out.

Ke found some inspiration from his own story and started pitying himself as
