Chapter 441: Chapter 439: Pretending to Be Real

Luo Jingwei had just entered the door and angrily shouted at the rebellious young man with blond hair.

The blond-haired young man became even angrier upon seeing Luo Jingwei and yelled furiously, “Sister-in-law, how dare you protect him! My brother is so good to you, yet you’ve done something so disgraceful!”

Luo Jingwei’s face turned red with anger, and she quickly said, “You! Who are you calling disgraceful? I’m just friends with him!”

The blond-haired young man snorted coldly twice and remained silent.

Luo Jingwei took a deep breath to calm down, then said to Qin Hao, “This is my husband’s brother, his name is Lu Zifeng.”

Qin Hao nodded knowingly, guessing the situation, and explained, “Little brother, you might have misunderstood. Luo Jingwei and I are just former colleagues and friends, it’s not what you think.”

Lu Zifeng sneered coldly, “Heh, not what I think, then what is it?”

Luo Jingwei quickly explained, “Nothing happened between us, we just met to catch up on old times.”

Lu Zifeng was even more displeased upon hearing this; he pointed at Qin Hao and said, “Kid, I’m warning you, stay away from my sister-in-law, or when my brother returns, he’ll be the first to deal with you harshly!”

Qin Hao furrowed his brows slightly, about to speak again, but then Lu Zifeng arrogantly said, “Look at you, a country bumpkin with a poor appearance. I’ll bet you’re shamelessly clinging to my sister-in-law. Let me tell you, dealing with someone as presumptuous as you is as easy for our Lu family as stepping on a pest.”

As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Qin Hao’s nose.

Qin Hao was instantly furious; this kid wouldn’t listen to reason and refused to accept a proper explanation.

“I didn’t intend to stoop to arguing with you, but since you refuse to respect others, I have no choice.”

After Qin Hao said this calmly, he immediately grabbed Lu Zifeng’s arm and kicked him twice.

“Ah! You!”

Lu Zifeng grimaced in pain, crying out repeatedly, and wanting to say more, but Qin Hao had already raised his hand to strike again.

Seeing this, Lu Zifeng was frightened and quickly fled.

Qin Hao didn’t feel like arguing with a rebellious kid, so he lightly dusted off his hands and let it go.

Luo Jingwei had an apologetic expression and said to Qin Hao, “Sorry, I didn’t manage him well and made you embarrassed.”

Qin Hao smiled lightly, then said, “It’s nothing.”

“I better leave first to avoid further misunderstandings.” Luo Jingwei hurried out, head down.

Qin Hao watched Luo Jingwei’s embarrassed figure from behind and couldn’t help but smile lightly.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Qin Hao immediately followed the reaction of the Jade Pendant and headed to a villa outside Jianghai City.

Originally, he wanted to set off overnight, but after Luo Jingwei left, the Jade Pendant on him lost its reaction. It wasn’t until morning that it finally reacted again.

Following the Jade Pendant’s reaction, Qin Hao ultimately arrived at a villa area in the suburbs. He stood in front of a villa’s door, carefully observing the surroundings.

It was just a very ordinary villa, and there was nothing special about the interior decoration. Qin Hao didn’t find any hidden alarm systems or concealed sentries.

After careful observation, Qin Hao swiftly hopped over the wall into the villa’s courtyard and sneaked into the villa’s second floor through a back window.

The second floor was empty. Qin Hao cautiously searched throughout the second floor but found no sign of anyone, nor was the Sect Leader anywhere to be seen. By now, the Jade Pendant in Qin Hao’s hand had lost all sensation as well.

Qin Hao felt uneasy but patiently searched the first floor as well, yet after looking through every place, he found no trace of anyone.

His heart filled with doubt, and just then, weak sounds suddenly emerged from the second floor. Qin Hao immediately dashed back up to the second floor, but this time, upon reaching the stairs, he saw two burly men quietly standing in front of him, one on each side.

Startled, Qin Hao hurriedly steadied himself and scrutinized these two men. But in his perception, these two burly men were like they were forged from solid steel, with no signs of life emanating from them. They carried a chillingly sharp aura, cold as metal all over.

Their strength was actually deeper than Elder Jin’s!

While contemplating this with shock, Qin Hao geared up for combat readiness. Just then, from the wall behind the two burly men, a white projection screen slowly descended.

The screen settled between the two burly men, and Qin Hao quietly watched this unfold. Once the screen was down, a projector behind him began to hum.

A white beam flickered onto the screen, and soon, a man’s figure appeared on the projection screen!
