Many people were not really busy with anything, so they continued to argue with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was feeling bored, of course, and naturally got into an argument with them.

About ten minutes later, a group of fully armed muscular men burst in, led by a short but wiry old man, who was actually a high-level expert at the early stage of mastery.

Once they stormed into the restaurant, he immediately roared, "Who dares to kidnap Third Miss Zhang!"

Looking around, he promptly spotted Zhang Yu and shouted, "Third Miss Zhang, don't be afraid, I am here to save you, and whoever captured you will pay a steep price!"

Seeing the old man charging towards her, Zhang Yu yelled out immediately, "Uncle Fu, don't touch me, I've had my acupuncture points sealed!"

"What?! Someone sealed your acupuncture points?"

Uncle Fu halted instantly upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, but still said, "Miss, have you been deceived? Who uses acupuncture point sealing nowadays! Don't panic, I am going to rescue you and expose their lies! To think they dared kidnap our Third Miss Zhang, they must be tired of living!"

Just then, suddenly a voice seemed to come from all directions said, "I am the one who captured your Third Miss Zhang, what can you do to me?"

Upon hearing this voice, Uncle Fu immediately replied coldly, "I don't care who you are. Even though I am now fully capable of rescuing our Third Miss, since you dared to kidnap her, I won't let you off easily!"

The voice then let out a chuckle and said, "Then you can try and see if you can really rescue your Third Miss.

"Hmph! Playing tricks and pretending to be a ghost! I will rescue our Third Miss now!"

Upon finishing these words, Uncle Fu reached out to pull Zhang Yu up, trying to lift her.

However, Zhang Yu's face was filled with terror as she said, "Don't! Don't! I'll die! I'll die!"

Even a brash and domineering person like Zhang Yu couldn't help but lower her noble head in the face of death, her face showing terror.

Uncle Fu, however, snorted coldly, "Third Miss, you have been frightened by their bluffing. Don't be afraid, I'm about to rescue you."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhang Yu's hand, trying to lift her up.

What Uncle Fu couldn't understand, though, was that no matter how he pulled, Zhang Yu just wouldn't get up.

He snorted, "Miss, aren't you going to leave?"

Zhang Yu, with a look of helplessness, said, "I've had my acupuncture points sealed! I simply can't move."

Uncle Fu's expression changed in an instant; only then did he finally believe that Zhang Yu was truly sealed by someone.

And who could seal acupuncture points?

His thoughts immediately turned to one person—Xu Hao!

He quickly asked, "Was it Xu Hao who sealed your acupuncture points?"

Zhang Yu nodded helplessly. Рubliсаtiоn соurtеsy оf

Uncle Fu's face was instantly filled with horror, and he hastily inquired, "How did you provoke him?"

Zhang Yu had no choice but to recount the whole incident exactly as it had happened.

Hearing that Zhang Yu had provoked the formidable Xu Hao for the sake of an American man, Uncle Fu was beside himself with rage, unable to fathom how Zhang Yu could be so foolish!

By that time, Xu Hao and his company had finished their meal and were coming down the stairs.

Glancing at Zhang Yu and her companions, Xu Hao spoke indifferently, "What's this? Are you looking for a fight?"

Seeing Xu Hao himself come down, Uncle Fu blurted out in sheer terror, "Young Master Xu, I have offended you and the Third Miss just now, please don't take it to heart."

Xu Hao let out a cold laugh and said, "And yet, I just happen to take such matters to heart, what will you do about it?"

Uncle Fu was momentarily at a loss for words upon hearing Xu Hao's declaration, which might as well have been a nerve-racking ultimatum.

If Xu Hao were merely an ordinary thug, Uncle Fu could have used tough measures to subdue him.

But Xu Hao was a bona fide Grandmaster Level Expert!

Not just any Grandmaster Level Expert, but even stronger than most!

He was no fool; as a high-level expert at the early stage of mastery, he couldn't withstand even a single confrontation with Xu Hao, let alone contend against him.

He looked down at Zhang Yu with regret, asking himself why he hadn't asked for details before speaking.

Why should he bear the consequences of the formidable enemy that Zhang Yu had provoked?

Xu Hao watched him coldly and said, "Why are you silent now?"

Uncle Fu quickly bent over to beg for mercy, "Young Master Xu, we know we were wrong, please show mercy and spare us. Your great kindness will not be forgotten, and I will repay it like a spring that never runs dry!"

But, Xu Hao was unwavering, continuing, "I don't need your gratitude because you simply can't repay it. If you want to live, go back and tell the Zhang family members to bring something to redeem both you and Zhang Yu! I don't want money, I want land! The Northern Second District has always been managed by the Zhang family on behalf of the Wu Family, hasn't it? If you want Zhang Yu and yourself to return alive to the Zhang family, then trade half of the border area between Northern Second District and North District Three!"

Xu Hao didn't demand the entire Northern Second District, but rather just half.

Since there were many within the Zhang family who had a low opinion of Zhang Yu, if he had demanded the whole Northern Second District, they would have definitely refused.

Even if it were just Zhang Yu without Uncle Fu, the Zhang family most likely would not have agreed to trade half of the Northern Second District; actually, they would have definitely refused.
