The salary would be credited from the company account in advance that was monitored by Xiao Mei as well, and the young lady agreed to this. She was not worried about her studies because she was the grade topper and even without much effort, the gap between her and the others was significant.
Hao Ren returned to school after recess and went through the classes with ease. However, today he started exchanging slips with Han Lingshi. This was a surprise for him but also delightful. He told Han Lingshi to not lose focus of her studies.
At the end of the day, Han Lingshi said, "I am thinking about moving to the dormitory."
Hao Ren was surprised and asked, "Young Miss Han, will your father, the Great Master Han agree with this decision? What if he came to the school to clamor that he misses his gem of a daughter?"
Han Lingshi looked at him and asked, "Are you teasing me?"
Hao Ren pretended to be thoughtful for a second and then with a sincere expression he nodded. Han Lingshi opened her eyes wide, they were both a few meters away and she charged over to smack him, but Hao Ren dodged and thus began the game of chase. Many males saw this and they were all jealous of this intimacy displayed by the two people.
The girls were the same, at least the ones in the same class knew about Hao Ren's brilliance. If looks could kill then Han Lingshi would have died by now.

In the Han Family company, The Spirit Group, Han Ming was going through some documents when the phone on his desk rang. He picked it up and a voice sounded from the side, "President Han, greetings, are you free to have a conversation?"
Han Ming frowned, this line was restricted to his office and personal staff only. This person was not his staff so he asked, "Who the hell are you? What the fuck are you talking about?How did you get this number?"
The person chuckled and said, "I did not expect the refined and sophisticated person like you to talk in such a manner. I can do a lot more Anyhow, I am just calling to tell you, hand over the office in Belsua, to us, or you will pay a great price."
Han Ming frowned and said, "Fuck off."
He disconnected the call, thinking that it was a prank by some young employee. He picked up the device again and called his assistant to ask who had access to this line. He did not know that his actions have caused a great catastrophe.
...
Hao Ren had just sent of Han Lingshi away and returned to his room. At this moment, the system said, *Ding: Host, a chain task event has been started, and the difficulty is Adamantite.*
Hao Ren froze and asked, "What do you mean adamantite? Give me more details about it."
*Ding: Host, adamantite tasks are not something where the system can divulge information. You need to figure out the details by yourself.*
The young man frowned and cursed, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
*Ding: Host has crossed seven curse limitation, your strength is now limited to body refining realm until the chain task is finished.*
Hao Ren suddenly felt his realm fall. He was shocked and then he clenched his fists, ready to yell and curse the shit out of system. He began to do shadow boxing and after half an hour he calmed down. He took a shower and his phone rang.
He saw an unidentified number and picked up with a frown. He asked, "Hello."
The person on the other side replied, "Hello, Hao Ren, this is Yan."
Hao Ren asked, "Yes, Yan, is everything alright?"
Yan replied, "No, something bad happened to Class Monitor Han."
Hao Ren was alerted immediately and asked, "What do you mean, what happened to her?"
Yan said, "I just heard from my dad, he said that some foreigners have abducted her, and the police is looking for these people."
Hao Ren felt as if the sky was falling. He sat down on his bed with a huff, and calmed down before asking, "When did this happen?"
Yan replied, "Twenty minutes ago, I just found out. It happened near the school, and the entire city has been alerted."
Hao Ren nodded and after asking a few more questions, he closed his eyes to think about what to do when the notification sounded, *Ding: Track Han Lingshi's location.*
Hao Ren stood up from his bed, changed into fresh clothes and then he walked out of the dormitory. He was going to the spot where the kidnapping took place.
Although he was no longer a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he was still a cultivator and had a lot of experience. Ten minutes away from the school, he found a scene where the police had cordoned off the area, and there was a wrecked car. Hao Ren watched from the distance, and spotted bullet holes and blood stains on the driver seat.
His heartbeat increased and he gazed at the back side of the car, there were no traces of any blood or bullet, but the left side door was left ajar, with window broken to small glass pieces. Hao Ren understood that someone must have broken the glass and unlocked the door, to nab Han Lingshi. His fists tightened as his gaze turned cold.
It was as if he was a god of death and the intention to kill emitting from him, even made the people around him walk away subconsciously.
Hao Ren decided to go to the Han Family Mansion, because he was sure that they would definitely know what was going on.
