"It's nothing, just a robbery. They let me go after I gave them the money," Shen Ling said haphazardly.

But Zhou Hao was clearly not going to be fooled so easily. He gradually approached and stared intently at the other person. "Are you hiding something from me? You always refused when I asked you to come out before, but you're being so proactive today."

Shen Ling forced a smile and said, "Really? Brother Hao, you're mistaken."

"Who are those people, swaggering around like that? And don't let me find out which gang they're from, or I'll definitely teach them a lesson!"

"These 18 gangsters will teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Zhou Hao looked furious, harboring great resentment towards what had happened before.

He's a foreign member of the Creek family, yet he was kicked to the ground in the middle of the street. If he doesn't teach them a lesson, won't he be looked down upon?

"I have a feeling you're hiding something from me today. If those people were robbing us, why did they only arrest you?"

Zhou Hao stared intently at Shen Ling.

Shen Ling was in a state of panic. She hadn't expected Zhou Hao, who was usually so carefree, to suddenly become so clever, but she could only remain calm.

"So what? Maybe that's exactly what they did. It happens all the time in America."

"Hmph! Let me see your phone." The more Zhou Hao looked at Shen Ling, the more strange she seemed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ling's expression changed. Her phone contained messages between her and Chen An; if she gave them to Zhou Hao, wouldn't she be exposed?

So she quickly stepped forward and hugged Zhou Hao, "Brother Hao, I finally got the chance to invite you. If you're going to be this suspicious, I'm leaving."

Seeing this, Zhou Hao thought he might be overthinking things, and then smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a shower then."

Then Zhou Hao started taking off his clothes. "By the way, you know Chen Wan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ling's pupils contracted. "I know her, she's my best friend. But why hasn't she come back since last time?"

Zhou Hao chuckled: "She was taken away by Creek. It's a pity. I've been keeping an eye on Chen Wan for a long time. If it weren't for currying favor with Creek, I would have made my move on her long ago."

Shen Ling's heart sank. "Brother Hao, I heard Chen Wan has an older brother. Aren't you afraid he'll come looking for her?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hao scoffed even more: "So what if they come looking for us? This is America, not China. With the Creek family here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Besides, isn't Chen Wan's brother just a wage earner? He'd probably have trouble even making ends meet here, so don't overthink it."

Shen Ling knew that Chen An was not as simple as he seemed, and that Zhou Hao would likely face a terrible fate as well.

........

Outside the Rose Hotel.

A van came to a steady stop, and Chen An and his group got out and headed into the hotel.

"Boss, this hotel is full of surveillance cameras. How are we going to take Zhou Hao away?" Karl asked.

Chen An smiled and pointed to the suitcase Anton was carrying: "Just put it in there. The only use the other party is to lure out Creek. Once he's no longer useful, there's no need for him to live."

Carl smiled. "That's a great idea."

Soon, the group arrived at the elevator, pressed the button for the 6th floor, and felt the elevator slowly ascend.

Zhou Hao, having just finished showering, was completely unaware that death was about to approach him.

A ding sound.

The elevator arrived smoothly on the sixth floor. The six people stepped out of the elevator and came to the corner of the corridor. They quickly noticed two tall figures standing in front of a door. The door number was 601.

"Boss, this Zhou Hao seems to be very vigilant. He has bodyguards with him, and he might even have a gun."

Chen An said, "You and Anton go over there and resolve this quickly so it won't attract attention."

Carl nodded.

The two men pretended to be hotel guests, carrying luggage and chatting as they walked. The two bodyguards only glanced at them before looking away.

As Carl and his companion drew closer, the bodyguards quickly noticed something amiss. Just as they made a move, Anton struck first. With his double physique and expert fighting skills, he delivered a punch directly to one of the men's abdomen. The immense force caused the man to lose his balance instantly, fall to the ground, and appear to be in pain.

Carl was more direct, pulling out a pistol and pressing it against the other man's abdomen, whispering, "Don't move. You're just an employee; there's no need to risk your life."

After receiving news of the success of the Anton operation, Chen An led a few people there, wearing masks, and soon arrived at the door.

I knocked on the door.

Who is it?

Just as Zhou Hao was about to take up his gun and get into battle, he heard a knock on the door. Without thinking much, he went straight to the door and opened it.

Instead of a warm greeting or a beautiful woman throwing herself into his arms, he was greeted by a large foot.

Zhou Hao was instantly kicked to the ground.

After finishing his attack, Chen An strode into the house. Karl and his companion also escorted two bodyguards in, who were replaced by two assassins. The door was closed again, blocking out the view inside.

"Zhou Hao, it's really not easy to see you." Chen An moved a chair over, placed it in front of Zhou Hao, and sat down.

Zhou Hao endured the pain and struggled to lift his head, only to see two men and a woman standing in front of him. His two bodyguards were obediently squatting on the ground, and he knew something was wrong.

Zhou Hao glared angrily at Shen Ling on the bed, "You bitch, it was you, wasn't it!"

Shen Ling flinched.

"Hey! Didn't you hear the boss talking to you?!" Karl was annoyed. He stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Hao's blond hair, and lifted him up, his thick muscles bulging instantly.

This made Zhou Hao feel a surge of fear.

"Who are you? I don't think I've offended you."

"You know Chen Wan, right?" Chen An said angrily.

Zhou Hao thought to himself, "This is bad!"

The other person was connected to Chen Wan, and the only connection was her brother. "You're Chen Wan's brother?!"

"You're not completely stupid. Now, guess whether you can survive after doing all these things."

Zhou Hao was extremely confused. As far as he knew, Chen Wan's brother seemed to be an ordinary person. How could so many white people be working for him now, and even have guns?

"Where is Creek now?" Chen An asked the question that concerned him the most.

Zhou Hao said, "Crick usually stays in his villa in Beverly Hills. He knows he has offended a lot of people, so he rarely comes out."

Chen An picked up Zhou Hao's phone. "Find a way to invite him out."

"I can't do that," Zhou Hao shook his head. "Someone of their status isn't someone I can invite."

"So you're useless after all?" Chen An slowly raised his pistol and pointed it at Zhou Hao's forehead.

"Wait!" Zhou Hao called out to stop them.

"I can figure something out. Creek seems to be going to a party soon; that might be an opportunity."

He no longer cared about whether the Creek family would retaliate later; saving his own life was the priority.
