Old Five looked at Xu Hao with teary eyes, desperate to know what Xu Hao was thinking and whether he would let him go.
Xu Hao looked down at him and said indifferently, "You can't tell who actually wants to harm , so I can't let you go."
"Bang!"
Following Old Four's footsteps, Old Five was dead.
After dealing with the two of them, Xu Hao called Wang Zhong to find out who owned the villa.
However, Wang Zhong replied that the villa was not sold by the developer after its construction, and the developer was a real estate tycoon from Huadu, Li Family Real Estate.
But according to the information gathered by Wang Zhong, there had been no recent contact between the people from Li Family Real Estate and these two n, so it could almost be confird that the villa was illegally occupied by them.
Later, Xu Hao indeed found the bodies of several security personnel near the villa, which corroborated that they had seized the villa by force.
The trail ended here.
Xu Hao knew that it was now impossible to find out who the mastermind behind all this was.
After all, he had quite a few enemies, and it wasn't practical to investigate them one by one; no one would admit to it imdiately.
When Xu Hao returned to the company, he imdiately instructed Liu Ruyan to strictly scrutinize everyone entering the company to avoid any recurrence of such incidents as much as possible.
...
anwhile, at the Zhou Family of Jing'an City.
Zhou An, the Patriarch of the Zhou Family, sat heavily in his chair with a grave expression, his face looking very displeased. He announced publicly, "Those two sorcerers from Miaojiang have failed! They had set up a formation, yet they couldn't block Xu Hao's attacks and were all killed."
Every mber of the Zhou Family was shocked. Those two were so formidable and yet they had failed?
A very handso young man snorted coldly, "Hmph! I knew they weren't reliable! They're just swindlers from Jianghu, how could they compare with real martial artists?"
Zhou An said displeasedly, "Zhou Sheng, watch your words! The ignorant are fearless! The Miaojiang Gushen Sect is a large sect with hundreds of years of heritage. Their strength is definitely formidable. But no one expected that Xu Hao would know the Xuan Technique, and he seems to be even more proficient than their practitioners. That is the reason for their failure this ti."
Zhou Sheng snorted coldly, "Patriarch, am I wrong? I've said it before, those Jianghu charlatans can't be relied on, but you wouldn't believe it, and you insisted on using them. Now what? Xu Hao doesn't know it was us yet, he won't get angry, but if he finds out, can our Jing'an Zhou Family have any good days ahead?"
Zhou An replied coldly, "Xu Hao isn't The Buddha, should we really be afraid of him? I already said that sending those two practitioners to attack Xu Hao was an attempt, successful or not, we have a way out. I declare that starting today, our Jing'an Zhou Family will imdiately relocate, moving all our business to Huadu, where the main Zhou Family will shelter us."
"Hmph! It's not pleasant to be dependent on others!" Zhou Sheng said with so dissatisfaction.
"I also know it's unpleasant, but what other choice do we have now?" Zhou An was very angry and was on the verge of blowing up.
Zhou Sheng scoffed, "Who is this because of? Isn't it because of that waste Zhou Yang? If he hadn't gone too far back then, how could we have ended up like this today?"
"You... you are really trying to kill ! Move if you want, we are definitely pulling out!" Overwheld by anger, Zhou An left the room abruptly.
"Why not move?! Only an idiot wouldn't!"
Zhou Sheng scornfully said, "I heard that the main family of Zhou only had one daughter nad Zhou Shuran, who's beautiful and might beco the Zhou Family's heir. If I get her in my grasp, then... heh heh."
Zhou Sheng narcissistically touched his own face, clearly very confident in his looks.
But many around him from the Zhou Family were disdainful. The eldest daughter of the main family's head family, and you dare to covet her?
You probably wouldn't know how you died when the ti cos!
Nevertheless, no one warned him; it was best to let him indulge in his fantasies.
anwhile, Zhou An had returned to his room, preparing to inform his son, Zhou Yang in Myanmar, about what had happened here.
When the video call connected, Zhou An was astonished to see his son sitting in front of a man in military uniform!
He instantly realized that the man was a general from Myanmar, the head of the Williams Family!
He imdiately stood at attention and said respectfully, "General Williams, hello. I am Zhou An, the Family Head of Jing'an's Zhou Family in Huaya."
Zhou Yang laughed and said, "Dad, you don't have to be so formal, General Williams is very approachable."
General Williams was a short, dark-skinned, and sturdy man. He nodded at Zhou An through the video, saying, "Brother Zhou An, hello."
Zhou An was flattered that such a high-ranking general was addressing him so politely. He imdiately said, "It's an honor to et you, General. May I ask what you are... "
General Williams smiled and said, "I was just discussing a jade artifact transaction with your son. It's good that you're here; you can listen to our plan."
Zhou An listened patiently to General Williams's narrative and then flattered him, "I never dared to imagine that I could deal directly with a big boss like General Williams. Today, it has finally co true."
Williams smiled and said, "There's no need for Brother Zhou An to speak in such a way; Anthony's scale is not small either."
"No no no, compared to you, Anthony's scope is much smaller."
Although Williams knew Zhou An's words were sowhat exaggerated, who doesn't love to be flattered?
Flattery, more often than not, will get you everywhere. Williams was pleased and smiled, "Now that we've finished discussing our business, Brother Zhou An, did you have anything you wanted to discuss when you called?"
Zhou An quickly said, "Not to hide it from the General, those two practitioners from Miaojiang were sowhat inadequate. They were all taken out by Xu Hao alone!"
"What?!"
General Williams imdiately asked, "Those two were Master Jin's junior brothers, with very strong capabilities. How could Xu Hao possibly take them down?"
At this mont, a man wearing a yellow robe and a tall crown suddenly rushed in from outside, urgently asking, "Is this true?!"
Zhou An didn't know who this person was. Zhou Yang imdiately introduced him, "Dad, this is the Eldest Disciple of the Third Elder of the Gushen Sect from Miaojiang, Master Jin! Those two practitioners were his junior brothers."
Zhou An imdiately said, "That's right, I don't know what's with that Xu Hao. Not only is he strong in martial arts, but he also has a profound understanding of these taphysical matters."
"Freak!"
Master Jin said coldly, "To have such high achievents in both martial force and Xuan Technique, he must be a genius. He is so well-versed in these matters, he must have been taught by a master, and not just one at that."
"So..." Zhou An asked hesitantly.
"No matter!"
Master Jin waved his hand and said, "Once I have finished my business here, I will go and et this Xu Hao. I want to see who his master is! With the temperant of my younger brother, he must have told him about our Sect. Yet he dared to kill him, which ans he is either ignorant or has soone backing him. But the disciples of the Gushen Sect aren't people one can just kill if they wish to! I will certainly avenge this!"
"That's great, that's great. I hope Master Jin can eliminate that youngster once and for all, to prevent future troubles."
Thank you for reading. This was brought to you by *.
Ever since those two n died, Zhou An had been on edge. Hearing what Master Jin said, his heart finally settled down.
Zhou Yang also smiled and said, "Dad, you just focus on relocating our family. Hua Du Zhou Family's Second Master will take us in. After all, we were originally a branch of the Hua Du Zhou Family. And, Dad, I'll tell you this: I'm not just on good terms with the Zhou Family's youngest master, Zhou Huasheng, I've also heard that the Second Master and the Zhou Family Head have conflicts.
Even the Patriarch of the Zhou family almost died tragically. Although it's unclear whether the Second Master was behind it, I think it's very likely. But we must not get involved in this. All you need to rember is that we should not ddle in the power struggle of the Hua Du Zhou Family. We are only seeking a place to stand. Otherwise, if it fails, we cannot afford the consequences!"
"I know, I know. But my son has also grown up!" Zhou An was comforted and hung up the phone, starting to arrange for the Zhou Family's relocation.
But at this ti, Zhou Sheng was feeling restless. He had just seen a photo of Zhou Shuran a few days ago and had been utterly captivated by the girl. He vowed in his heart to marry her and take control of the entire Zhou Family's power!
Hence, he planned to go to the Zhou Family ahead of everyone else.
...
After returning, Xu Hao had Wang Zhong investigate the distribution of Islanders in Jing'an City and learned that none from the Kada family were present.
But Xu Hao understood that so issues were still unresolved.
Chen Suyi's agent was an Islander planted by her side to spy, and Xu Hao had not yet completely rooted them out.
Moreover, a smart person would not put all their eggs in one basket, so Xu Hao guessed that the agent, Sun Hongi, would have multiple channels.
After all, it was still possible that there were mbers of the Muramasa Family in Jing'an.
Xu Hao wasn't too keen on protecting this Miss Chen, but he thought that if sothing were to happen to Chen Suyi, Elder Chen would be devastated, so Xu Hao had to take on this responsibility.
He finally understood the aning of "To whom much is given, much is required."
And while Xu Hao had yet to take action, Chen Suyi told Anna that she was going to hold a concert, right here in Jing'an City.
Xu Hao found Chen Suyi.
"Why do you suddenly want to hold a concert here?"
"What? Do I need to report to you where I hold my concerts?" Chen Suyi, while picking out clothes for her concert, responded.
Xu Hao glanced around and lowered his voice, "Who got you to hold this concert?"
"My agent, Sister i. What's the problem?" Chen Suyi asked, "Shouldn't you be accompanying Sister Ru Yan and the others?"
