Zhang Rong was savagely beaten by a group of people. Her face was blue in one area, purple in another, and even smeared with oil and soy milk from the buns. You couldn't imagine how bedraggled she looked!

Had it not been for a few shop assistants risking their lives to protect her, the fat owner might have had pounds of flesh ripped off her body.

"Let's go, Ruyan. Let's check out the next place!" Xu Hao called out to Liu Ruyan, slowly started the car, and headed towards the next raw gemstone dealer.

Behind them, a burst of siren sounded, and passing patrol officers arrived. Only then did the chaotic scene disperse.

Since nothing serious happened, the patrol officers took a brief account of the situation and then left.

Zhang Rong was left sitting on a chair with a bedraggled face. The sales area, which had been bustling just a moment ago, was now deserted. In the distance, people kept pointing in this direction, "Swindler, Zhang Rong is a big swindler!"

"I'm telling you, never buy from that place!"

...

Zhang Rong herself was a gemstone buyer and was well aware that the raw stones she sold didn't have a 30% markup, but there was still around a 20%.

"Master, cut open another batch for me!" Zhang Rong, somewhat stubborn, chose over a dozen raw stones and threw them to the master cutter. He cut them all open, but as expected, not a single speck of jadeite was found.

Now Zhang Rong was one hundred percent certain she had been played!

Zhang Rong clenched her teeth with a crackling sound. "Play me, Zhang Rong? Humph, you really think I'm easy to bully? The Liu Family... That old fart Liu Yi's death means nothing."

She reached into her clothes to pull out her phone, wiped the screen, and dialed a number, "Ma San, you heartless bastard, I've been bullied, get people over here for revenge right now!" This chapter was made possible by the community at *.

...

Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan were of course clueless about Zhang Rong's follow-up plans. With Xu Hao's miraculous eyesight, the two went on a spree at Antique Street.

In less than two hours, they had visited nearly fifty jadeite raw stone shops on Antique Street. The small truck sent by Zhang Qian was filled to the brim, and they had spent less than eighty million.

Looking at a truckload of raw stones, Liu Ruyan said worriedly, "Xu Hao, you didn't fool me, did you? With so many stones, is there really jadeite in all of them?"

Liu Ruyan felt as though she had gone mad, spending over eighty million in a frenzy with Xu Hao. What if Xu Hao made a mistake?

Xu Hao smiled mischievously, "Wife, do you really not trust me? How about we make a bet? If there's a single stone without jadeite among these, consider me the loser and do with me as you please! But, if I win... When we get home tonight, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Seeing Xu Hao's roguish eyes and his confident demeanor, Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat. After spending so much time with Xu Hao, in that instant, Liu Ruyan realized she was actually feeling her heart flutter.

There seemed to be a magical force surrounding Xu Hao, an invisible attraction that drew her in deeply.

Although Xu Hao didn't finish his words, Liu Ruyan guessed the rest, her face flushed red, "You're so bad... Dream on... At most, at most, I'll let you kiss me!"

Having been married to Xu Hao for so many years, it was only these past few days that Liu Ruyan had been physically close to him. Yet, after their first intimate contact yesterday, Liu Ruyan felt as though she was addicted; whenever her mind had a moment of rest, the image of Xu Hao lingered in her thoughts.

"Alright, it's settled then, let's head back to the company and take a look!" Xu Hao shrugged his shoulders, looking as if he had Liu Ruyan completely figured out.

Although Liu Ruyan was a strong female figure in the company, for some reason, she could never assert herself in front of Xu Hao.

Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan got into the car, with a BMW leading and a truck filled with Raw Gemstone in tow, they left Antique Street aiming for the Liu Corporation.

As Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan's car was about to exit Antique Street, they found the exit blocked by two horizontal sedans, sealing it off completely.

The plump Zhang Rong, with a group of tattooed men leaning against the car, stared coldly at Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan.

"Damn it, that ingrate..." Liu Ruyan stopped the car, opened the door, and yelled at Zhang Rong, "Zhang Rong, don't push things too far. Do you think the Liu Family is easy to bully?"

The muscular man standing beside Zhang Rong, known as Brother Ma, was said to be a top-notch tough guy under Grandpa Ma of Jing'an. Grandpa Ma, actually named Wang Mazi, was a genuine gangster twenty years ago who, starting from scratch, built his own kingdom in Jing'an City with his ruthlessness.

Later, he slowly legitimized his business, pulling back to set up Shenying Security Company in Jing'an City, specifically handling various security tasks.

This Ma San was the chief security instructor under Grandpa Ma!

With Ma San backing her, Zhang Rong was incredibly audacious, "Too extreme? You're the one who started it, buying all the jade raw stone in my store and sabotaging my business. You're not leaving here today until you explain yourself."

Xu Hao got out of the car, calm and collected, glancing at the tattooed muscular men in front; they all looked vicious. Although Xu Hao had trained with the security team for a couple of days, when it came to ferocity, he was definitely no match for these men.

Thinking this, Xu Hao quickly called Wang Zhong's number!

What Xu Hao did not know was that at this moment, Wang Zhong, not far from Xu Hao, in a second-floor room of a shop, had turned off his cell phone and even removed the battery.

The bodyguard standing next to Wang Zhong was somewhat baffled, "Manager, the young master seems to be in danger now. Aren't we going to help? You've even turned off your phone..."

Wang Zhong smiled faintly, "The boss has already issued an order. The young master is about to take full control of Jing'an's affairs. Some things, he needs to face alone. And... the young master probably doesn't know how terrifying he is after his Bloodline has awakened."

Xu Hao dialed twice in a row, only to find that Wang Zhong's phone was switched off.

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Rong argued for a few sentences, and Brother Ma and his people seemed to be getting impatient, "Brother Ma, why dilly-dally with this lady? Let's just go up there, smash the truck open, and take back Sister Rong's stone. Easy as that, right?"

Brother Ma, standing beside Zhang Rong, wrapped an arm tenderly around her, "That makes sense, go ahead!"

Following Brother Ma's command, several tall and muscular men charged over, dragging steel pipes, seemingly ready to smash the truck.

Liu Ruyan wanted to intercept them but didn't dare, looking at Xu Hao anxiously, "Xu Hao, what do we do now?"

Regardless of whether the Raw Gemstone at the back was real or fake, they were still goods worth eighty million!

Xu Hao took a deep breath, stuffed his phone into his pocket, pushed Liu Ruyan back into the car, and said solemnly, "Ruyan, stay in the car and don't move. Call the police right now! I'm going to go all out with them!"

Without waiting for Liu Ruyan to reply, Xu Hao dashed forward, intercepting the three muscular men, "Thinking of touching my stuff? Did you ask your grandpa's permission?"
