After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

"what!"

Guo Shaohua screamed and flew through the air, crashing heavily onto the curb.

"Wow!"

He spat out a mouthful of sour water, feeling as if several of his ribs were broken, and his whole body was in excruciating pain.

Su Hao walked up to Guo Shaohua, looking down at him condescendingly: "Remember, from now on, if you see me, take a detour. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll beat you up. Understand?"

Guo Shaohua was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, his eyes were filled with venomous resentment. He took out his phone and, with trembling fingers, dialed a number.

"Hey? Brother Leopard? It's me! Guo Shaohua! I've been beaten up! Right here on Zhongshan Road! Bring your men over here and cripple that kid for me! I'll give you a million!"

……

On the other side, Song Xiaoxiao remembered that Li Qiuchan loved braised duck, so she specially brought Su Hao to a time-honored braised duck shop, intending to pack one for Li Qiuchan to take home.

While waiting, Song Xiaoxiao twisted the hem of her clothes repeatedly with her fingertips, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"that……"

She finally spoke, her voice barely audible: "Could you please not tell my cousin about what happened earlier?"

"You mean you forcibly kissed me?"

"What do you mean by 'forced kiss'?!" Song Xiaoxiao exclaimed anxiously.

"That was just to appease Guo Shaohua, it wasn't real!"

Su Hao crossed his arms and said, "Anyway, you kissed me, that's a fact, and you have to take responsibility for me."

"What responsibility are we supposed to take?!" Song Xiaoxiao felt this was utterly absurd.

"That's just acting, don't take it seriously, okay?"

"No." Su Hao shook his head, his expression as serious as if he were discussing some major life event.

"You stole my first kiss, you must give me a proper status."

Song Xiaoxiao said plaintively, "You...you already have my cousin, how can I give you a proper status?"

"What does it matter?" Su Hao said matter-of-factly.

"I'm a rather traditional person, and I follow ancient customs. I don't think having three or four wives is too many."

Song Xiaoxiao was speechless: "You're truly 'philanthropic'!"

"Everyone who knows me praises me like this."

"No, you're actually quite proud of it?"

"With such a low marriage rate these days, shouldn't I be proud to contribute a few more marriages?"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, the braised duck was already packed up.

Song Xiaoxiao paid the money, picked up the bag, and walked out of the store in a bad mood, with Su Hao leisurely following behind.

The two hailed a taxi, gave the driver the Li family's address, and the car slowly drove into the night.

However, Su Hao soon realized that something was wrong.

The car was veering off the main road and turning into an increasingly secluded alley.

"Master, isn't this the wrong road?" Song Xiaoxiao also noticed something was wrong.

The taxi driver did not answer, but slowly stopped the car deep in a dimly lit alley.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The next second, a blinding array of headlights illuminated the road ahead.

More than a dozen motorcycles blocked the way ahead, while more than twenty burly men in black, armed with steel pipes and machetes, lined up to wait.

The man in the lead was burly with a face full of scars; he was none other than Yang Bao, the third-in-command of the Black Dragon Society.

He stepped forward and tapped his palm with the steel pipe.

"Kid, someone paid a million for your limbs."

"Are you going to do it yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

"Did Guo Shaohua send you?" Song Xiaoxiao's expression was rather unpleasant.

Yang Bao said expressionlessly, "I only handle matters; I'm not responsible for answering questions."

"I'll offer two million, and you can let me go!" Song Xiaoxiao had a sudden inspiration and raised the price.

Yang Bao was slightly tempted by what he heard. Just as he was about to hesitate, his phone rang. It was Guo Shaohua calling.

"Brother Leopard, did you catch him yet?"

Yang Bao smiled enigmatically: "Right at the entrance of the old alley, they offered me two million to let them go."

"We can't let it go! I'll offer three million!"

Song Xiaoxiao recognized Guo Shaohua's voice and gritted her teeth: "Then I'll offer five million!"

Su Hao looked at her in surprise: "You have that much money?"

Song Xiaoxiao cursed Su Hao inwardly for being so slow.

She casually raised the price just to buy time, but Su Hao's question exposed her true colors.

Yang Bao saw through Song Xiaoxiao's thoughts and his face darkened.

"Damn it, you dare to mess with me?"

He snapped his fingers, and a group of thugs swarmed forward.

Song Xiaoxiao turned pale with fright and hid behind Su Hao.

"Can you handle taking on so many people?"

"Don't question a man's ability."

Su Hao flexed his wrists, preparing to make a move, when an old voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"No fighting!"

Everyone was stunned.

An elderly woman with a hunched back, carrying a burlap sack full of recyclables, rushed over, her back hunched.

She was the old lady whom Su Hao had just rescued at the intersection.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yang Bao's fierce and menacing aura vanished instantly.

He instinctively hid the steel pipe behind his back, like a primary school student caught doing something wrong.

"Mom... what are you doing here?"

The old woman, carrying a snakeskin bag, walked step by step towards Yang Bao.

Although she was hunched over and only reached Yang Bao's chest, her imposing presence forced Yang Bao to retreat repeatedly.

"If I weren't here, I wouldn't have known you were going to do such a heinous thing!" The old woman's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resolute.

"I'm asking you, what are you planning to do with so many people and all these weapons?"

"I..." Yang Bao opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

"Snapped!"

The old lady raised her hand and slapped Yang Bao across the face.

Yang didn't dare to dodge at all; instead, he subconsciously reached out to help the old lady.

"Mom, be careful, don't strain your back..."

"You know I have a bad back?" The old lady slapped him again in anger.

"I taught you to be upright and do good deeds, and what did you do? You brought a bunch of people to bully my savior!"

Yang Bao was stunned: "My savior?"

"You're just finding out? If it weren't for this young man saving me today, your mother would be dead from a car accident by now!"

The old lady pointed at Su Hao and briefly recounted what had happened at the intersection.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill that guy who ran the red light!" Yang Bao spat after hearing this.

The old woman glared at him: "What are you still doing with that steel pipe?"

Yang Bao quickly put it down, then walked up to Su Hao, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother, I was wrong about what happened today. I'm canceling this order on the spot. If you ever need any help in Jinling, just ask."

"Young man, although my son is disappointing, he is not a bad person at heart. He just went astray. I hope you can be more tolerant of him," the old lady said apologetically.

Just as Su Hao was about to say something, he saw Guo Shaohua appear in the alley, supported by two bodyguards.

Upon discovering that Yang Bao and his group were surrounding Su Hao, he was overjoyed and shouted with a sinister look, "Brother Bao, wait a moment before you make your move. I want to torture him first."

Su Hao looked at Yang Bao, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"He said he's going to torture me, what do you think?"
