"In short, our deployment wasn't enough. Next time, we must destroy them." Tang Hao said with a somber expression.
"Absolutely, if he doesn't die, we can forget about living a peaceful life." Bai Lin said viciously.
"Anyway, I need to go back to the Northeast." Tong Dawei said gloomily. He couldn't stand failing to kill Ye Hao over and over; he needed to return to the Northeast to find experts to take Ye Hao down.
"Dawei, I hope you don't disappoint us again next time." Sima Lindong snorted.
Sima Lindong's words made Tong Dawei's expression even more gloomy. However, Tong Dawei was very tolerant, spending money and hiring experts only to be mocked, he tolerated it all.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao patted Tong Dawei's shoulder, but he didn't speak for Tong Dawei. In his view, it would be unwise to cause discord with Sima Lindong just to appease Tong Dawei, because Sima Lindong still had a powerful reputation in Yanjing. Just mentioning Sima Lindong's name in some upscale clubs would ensure that many of them dared not say anything.
Of course! Saying Tang Hao's name would also make others wary, but that would be too high profile. For someone as sensitive as him, it is better to stay low-key wherever he goes to avoid someone with intentions stirring up trouble.
Bai Lin snorted and then left with Li Mingri.
Hou Zhong said nothing; he had no grievances with Tong Dawei. They shared a common goal: to kill Ye Hao, so he found no need to show Tong Dawei any attitude.
"Dawei, don't worry. If we don't succeed this time, next time, we must kill him." Hou Zhong patted Tong Dawei's shoulder and then left.
In the end, only Tong Dawei and his Tong Liu and Uncle Tong were left sitting dumbfounded in the solitary villa complex.
After a long while, Tong Liu asked, "Dawei, did that guy really have that much of a grudge against you?"
"Ah! Even if there wasn't a grudge, it's come to this point. Do I have any way back?" Tong Dawei said helplessly. He regretted it, but he had no retreat.
If he withdrew from the plan to kill Ye Hao, Tang Hao and the others would regard him as an enemy because he knew they wanted Ye Hao dead, and they feared he would leak this information.
Although leaking it might not be believed by many, their sensitive identities are a concern. The last thing they want is to be pushed into the spotlight by the media.
"Sigh!" Tong Liu could only sigh helplessly. The Tong Family is a large heavy industry conglomerate, with plenty of experts under its wing, but few are truly loyal to the Tong Heavy Industry Group.
Those who associate with the Tong Group are often some honored guests. Rather than saying they seek affiliation with the Tong Group, it's more like the Tong Group needs them to safeguard some of its secrets.
After a long while, Tong Dawei asked, "Uncle Tong, tell me honestly, did you really encounter an expert, or were you beaten by Ye Hao's people?"
Tong Liu looked up at the ceiling, recalling with lingering fear, "I really did encounter an expert, his strength is far beyond mine."
"That expert is definitely innate, even stronger than the innate expert Ye Hao sent after me." Tong Liu glanced nervously around, fearing that the expert might be following him.
"Her skills are so strong, can we pay her to kill Ye Hao?" Tong Dawei hatched a plan and asked.
"Don't even think about it, someone like her wouldn't be tempted by money." Tong Liu waved his hand to stop Tong Dawei from having any crazy ideas.
Tong Dawei nodded helplessly, but he was still thinking that if he really encountered this expert, he must find a way to see if she would help kill Ye Hao. As for the cost, it could be negotiated when the time came.
As long as Ye Hao could be killed, Tang Hao and the others would no longer look down on him, and Sima Lindong wouldn't dare belittle him so casually.
...
While Tong Dawei and the others discussed that mysterious female expert, a woman with a strong presence arrived at Peking University...
The woman wore cutesy clothes, but her face lacked any cuteness, instead exuding an unmistakable queenly demeanor. She had side-swept bangs, long black hair, and wore flat canvas shoes with tights stretched over her calves.
Although her outfit seemed incongruous, her absolutely stunning face made her the focal point wherever she went, regardless of her attire.
At that time, Ye Hao was taking Lin Ruyu and the other girls out for a meal.
The absolutely stunning woman glanced at Lin Ruyu and Xia Zhu among the many girls. She felt that Lin Ruyu was the most beautiful, but Xia Zhu's body was the most graceful...
She was a stunning woman, and even though she appeared cold and indifferent, a woman's nature is to appreciate beauty. When she saw someone who could match her in appearance, she naturally took a few more glances.
Ye Hao and Lin Ruyu were chatting and laughing as they walked. Although Ye Hao also saw the absolutely stunning woman at the gate of Peking University, he didn't look much, glancing for an instant before shifting his gaze.
Ye Hao's nonchalance made the stunning woman's gaze grow colder.
That's how women are; if a man stares at her, she thinks he's a pervert, but if a man doesn't even glance at them, they think he's looking down on them or thinks they're unattractive.
As Ye Hao and Lin Ruyu walked far away, Luo Yingxue exclaimed in wonder, "Did you see her?"
"I saw her, one word, beautiful..." Lei Ting said, somewhat awestruck. At first, she found Lin Ruyu stunning when she came to Dragon and Phoenix Castle. But now, seeing that woman with a frosty face, she felt she was even more untouchably divine.
"I agree, she's so beautiful." Luo Yingxue felt like she'd found a woman who could rival Lin Ruyu's beauty, insisting on repeating it several times, seemingly to unsettle Lin Ruyu.
Lin Ruyu smiled noncommittally, as did Ye Hao. Although the woman was indeed beautiful, for Ye Hao, these were just fleeting sights. He was already content with his current relationship status and didn't intend to pursue or fall for anyone else.
"Don't you think she's good-looking?" Luo Yingxue asked Fang Ni.
Fang Ni nodded with a smile, "She looks nice."
Xia Zhu also agreed. They weren't interested in comparing themselves to others and were more concerned about Ye Hao living a safe life, without frequent threats from assassins lurking in the shadows.
"Alright!" Luo Yingxue saw Fang Ni and Xia Zhu's reactions and realized they genuinely didn't care how beautiful others were.
She dropped the subject because continuing would have backfired, making Lin Ruyu seem unaffected.
Afterwards, everyone had a meal at a nearby hotel, and Zheng Guang and the Nanling Martial Fool returned to Dragon and Phoenix Castle after finishing their meal.
With a full stomach, Ye Hao planned to take Lin Ruyu and the girls for a stroll around the campus.
However, Ye Hao's phone received a call from an unknown number at this moment. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
