Indeed! Just as Ye Hao and the others arrived at Thousand Lights Lake, a few people got out of other sports cars. Their thoughts were exactly the sa as what Du Yusheng had said...
Several people got out of the car and walked in front of Ye Hao and the others, followed by more than a dozen young n getting out of the sports cars behind them. Each man held a cigarette in his mouth. Although they appeared refined, the way they held their cigarettes revealed that their refined deanor was just a façade; their true nature was likely that of miscreants.
Ji Keci's face turned slightly cold at the sight. Her family was in the weapons business, and the domineering attitude they cultivated over the years made her intolerant of being bullied. So when she saw people gathering around, she knew things wouldn't end peacefully today. But that was fine; with Ye Hao there, she was curious about how he planned to resolve this.
Chen Shuyan, Ye Qingcheng, and Shangguan Longyi remained relatively calm. Coming from top families in Yanjing, their re nas were enough to scare these people off, so they weren't worried.
Lin Ruyu was even less worried. From her observations, those surrounding them weren't particularly formidable. She believed that with Ye Hao around, they'd be safe and sound.
If anyone was slightly worried, it would only be Tan Rong and Xia Zhu. Xia Zhu ca from an ordinary family. Though Tan Rong was from a family of martial arts practitioners, she hadn't had much exposure to martial arts, so they were both quite anxious.
As for Nangong Tianxiang, Su Qing, Fang Ni, and Shangguan Longyi, they had no such concerns. Nangong Tianxiang wasn't worried because Ye Hao could even handle warlords from Pakistan, let alone so affluent young n dostically. Fang Ni wasn't concerned either; among all the won, she knew Ye Hao's capabilities the best. Why worry when she knew how powerful Ye Hao was?
Su Qing had been protected by Ye Hao for over a year. Though she didn't know the details of Ye Hao's abilities over the past year, she believed that his endless tricks would be hard for ordinary people to handle.
Ye Hao twitched the corner of his mouth—sure enough, beauty brings trouble!
"Boss, let handle this?" Shangguan Longyi said excitedly, rubbing his fists.
"Let's see what they want first!" Ye Hao told Shangguan Longyi to hold back his eager fighting spirit and planned to ask what the other side intended.
"Got it." Shangguan Longyi stepped forward and loudly asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The other party didn't respond directly. Instead, they closed their ranks, tightly surrounding Ye Hao and the others.
Ye Hao gave a disdainful glance.
Just as Shangguan Longyi was losing patience, six figures ca walking from behind those surrounding them. The crowd parted to let those six co forward.
Seeing this, Shangguan Longyi asked, "Who are you, and why are you blocking us?"
"Idiot, do we need a reason to block you?" scoffed a young man in light green clothes, exhaling a puff of smoke as he disdainfully replied to Shangguan Longyi.
This was Wei Ran, whom Du Yusheng had ntioned—a brazen and arrogant man who could bow humbly to those of higher status but would press and bully those without rank or honor, behaving like an old-ti despot.
"Heh, you're the first to call an idiot. Just for what you said, I have every reason to deal with you, kid. I've got my eye on you," Shangguan Longyi smiled coldly. His status couldn't be more noble, comparable to the Crown Prince himself. Yet even soone as distinguished as he wasn't as arrogant as this man; why could this man be so insolent?
"Haha, you've got your eye on ? Idiot, did I hear that right?" Wei Ran mocked loudly, laughing.
"You will pay for your foul mouth," Shangguan Longyi stepped forward. Soone insulting her brother hurt her feelings too.
"Haha, so what if I insulted you? Wow, a beauty, huh? I've picked you for tonight," Wei Ran boasted, wholly unaware that he was facing a young master and a lady of the Shangguan family; he rely desired all the won present for himself.
Sotis, won did make one irrational. Wei Ran, typically proud and rampant, was utterly reckless today, failing to even probe the other party's identity.
"Just you?" Shangguan Longyi said with displeasure.
"Yes, . If you're dissatisfied with just , there are plenty of n here. Once I get bored, I'll let my brothers entertain you, haha," Wei Ran laughed heartily.
"Hoo..."
Suddenly, a naless wind blew past, a white shadow of unknown origin flashed by, sothing no one could see clearly. Yet, Wei Ran's eyes widened in terror, his hands slowly rising to clutch his neck.
"Puff..."
As soon as Wei Ran's hands touched his neck, blood spurted wildly, instantly soaking his hands.
His helpless eyes stared ahead, clueless about what had happened. He only saw a flash of a bright light pass his neck, followed by searing pain, his hands feeling the sticky blood on his neck, and his vision gradually blurring until he lost consciousness.
It happened so quickly that even Ye Hao didn't know what it was.
Initially, the won thought Ye Hao, offended by Wei Ran's lewd words, executed him on the spot.
But seeing Ye Hao stunned, they felt even more fear toward the unknown.
Ye Hao quickly said, "Stand still."
In this situation, he needed to catch the killer, or with so many won around, soone could be sniped at any mont.
Hearing Ye Hao, the won, despite their fear, stood firmly.
On Wei Ran's side, his companions, seeing him silent and his body gradually falling, looked on in confusion. When they saw that his neck was cleanly slashed, their eyes widened in shock.
What was going on? What happened to Wei Ran? His neck was fine; how was it cut open?
Bi Yu, a close friend of Wei Ran, shouted, "What's going on here? Who did this, who, who?!"
"Co out, are you afraid to admit it?"
"Puff puff!"
As Bi Yu spoke, his neck too spurted blood without warning, like a breached dike, unstoppable...
Ye Hao saw her—it was a woman, a lady in a long white dress with black hair. He couldn't see her face clearly.
But seeing what the woman held in her hand, Ye Hao panicked… (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian for reading.)
