The girl saw the men in suits getting out of the car and smiled, "Little brother, no need to be so tense, they're all here to pick me up!"

People picking up the girl?

Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wasn't afraid of dealing with so many people, they were still on a busy road, where a confrontation would not look good.

Keep a low profile!

After getting out of the car, the group stood quietly around Xu Hao's car without making a move.

The car door opened, and as the girl stepped out, the burly men around her bowed respectfully and said, "Miss, good day!" Chаptеr prоvidеd viа М|V|L@ЕМРYR.

Another middle-aged man with glasses stepped forward respectfully and said to the girl, "Miss, are you alright?"

The girl gave a charming smile, "I'm fine, thankfully this little brother saved me!" while speaking, she pointed towards Xu Hao inside the driver's cabin.

The middle-aged man nodded, walked over to the car window, and gestured for Xu Hao to get out.

After Xu Hao got out, the middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said, "Young man, thank you for saving our Miss! To express our gratitude, here's a little token of our appreciation."

As he spoke, the man pulled out a check with a string of zeros. Xu Hao glanced at it and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch – one million!

These people really are wealthy, handing out one million just like that!

Xu Hao gently pushed the check back, "Heh, I don't lack money. Saving someone was simply instinctual. Look, I have errands to run this afternoon, so if there's nothing else, I'll be going now! Also, little girl, don't just wander around aimlessly, got it?"

After advising the young girl, Xu Hao turned to head back to his car.

But the girl suddenly grabbed Xu Hao's arm and said, "Little brother, isn't there a saying in Huaya — should return a life-saving favor like a spring's endless flow? Brother, you haven't even asked my name. I'm Anna, what's yours? Give me a chance to repay you in the future."

A look of admiration flashed in the girl's eyes. Truth be told, she was smitten. Xu Hao's actions while dealing with those pursuers were so suave, it made her heart flutter — he was exactly the prince charming she imagined.

So the girl wanted to spend more time with Xu Hao, but he wasn't the least bit interested, "Repay me? No need. I have to be going now, we'll meet again sometime!"

His wife was in the car, after all, and Xu Hao already had enough girls around him. Although the girl was pretty, Xu Hao did not want to get involved with her.

Just as Xu Hao was about to get into his car without closing the door, the girl suddenly moved closer and, before Xu Hao could react, kissed him on the cheek. She also took a selfie with him and said with a mischievous smile, "Little brother, I have to keep a memory! I'll remember you!"

Xu Hao looked bitterly at Liu Ruyan in the back seat and shrugged helplessly, "Wife, this isn't my fault!"

Although Liu Ruyan was a bit jealous, she couldn't really blame Xu Hao — it was the girl who made the move!

Xu Hao pressed down on the accelerator, and the car drove away.

On the road, the middle-aged man with glasses watched Xu Hao leave and said with a grave tone, "Miss, the boss repeatedly warned you not to wander off. See, you almost got into a serious mess, didn't you?"

The girl's lips curled into a smile, "Uncle Gong, don't listen to my stodgy dad. Didn't Dad say he wanted to invest in this impoverished area? I just came to have a look. I never expected those guys would chase us all the way to Huaya, which is really infuriating!"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Miss, it's not as simple as you think! Those people didn't follow us from Myanmar, they're from the local powers in Huaya Huadu City. Once I investigate this thoroughly, I definitely won't let them off. Let's go now. The boss said you need to attend the meeting this afternoon.

Hey, no offense, Miss, but you're not getting any younger, and eventually, you will have to take over the boss's business. You really should put more thought into it... can you do that?"

The middle-aged man continued to grumble, but the girl pouted and said, "Uncle Gong, can you stop preaching and just drive, let's go..."

Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan settled down in the Yunmeng Grand Hotel, preparing for the afternoon meeting.

But unbeknownst to them, as they entered the Yunmeng Grand Hotel, nearby, in an inconspicuous van, several youths reported through earpieces, "Young Master Tang, the target we've been tracking has entered the Yunmeng Hotel, what should we do next?"

The Young Master Tang mentioned by these youths in their earpieces was Tang Jing, the son of the Tang Sect's Great Elder whom Wang Zihao had asked for help.

The Tang Sect's Great Elder and the current Sect Leader were blood brothers, so even though Tang Jing wasn't a candidate for the next Sect Leader, his status was just below that of the Young Clan Leader, and his influence within the Tang Sect was considerable.

Tang Jing agreed to help Wang Zihao because they happened to be classmates in college.

"I've got it. Yunmeng Hotel is owned by the Jiang Family, and it's tricky to make a move inside. You guys keep a close watch on them; let me know if they get separated or if there's an opportunity…"

The youths outside the hotel thought they were well-concealed, but little did they know that less than a kilometer away, in another business van, Wang Zhong sat with several bodyguards, observing the youths' every move with crystal clarity.

They even intercepted and listened to their reports. Inside the business van, the bodyguards turned to Manager Wang and asked, "Manager Wang, Tang Sect people plan to make a move on the young master, what should we do? Although the young master has reached the peak of mastery, dealing with Tang Sect's experts might still be difficult!"
