NOVEL WEB Chapter 1150: The Fish Has Taken the Bait
"Hmph! How would I know? Anyway, our Sect Leader mentioned that the world is vast and full of surprises. There might be even more powerful ones out there, who knows? No one can say for sure."
He shifted the conversation, "Anyway, let's talk about you. How exactly did you get into a feud with the Mengzi Family?"
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "It wasn't much, I just killed one of their Grandmaster Experts."
"You... you actually dared to kill a Grandmaster Level Expert from the Mengzi Family?! You're courting death! The Mengzi Family, like a few other privileged families, sacrificed significantly in past wars to protect our country, and because of that, some of their older and younger generations are out of balance. So later, many top experts set protective measures for them. One of the rules is that as long as their Grandmaster Level Experts don't commit major wrongdoings, no one is allowed to kill them. And truth be told, the family style of the Mengzi Family and those few others is extremely good. Their people are all perfect gentlemen, and would absolutely never do anything against moral and ethical principles. So, by killing him, you've definitely violated that rule!" Old Six exclaimed with shock and anger.
Xu Hao said coldly, "He came straight at my friend; although he claimed he wouldn't harm my friend, how could I be sure he wouldn't? I barely knew him! You guys can leave now. You were acting all high and mighty in front of me just now, but now that you've heard I crossed the Mengzi Family, you're acting like you've seen a ghost, how utterly ridiculous. It seems you all are just cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong."
Xu Hao's words were filled with disdain. Old Six and his companion huffed coldly and said, "Hmph! We're leaving. Let's see how long you can still jump around!"
"No need to trouble yourselves over it." Xu Hao said with a faint smile.
"Hmph!"
The two snorted coldly and left immediately.
Liu Ruyan said with amusement, "Those two are quite amusing, aren't they? Changing faces so fast."
Xu Hao laughed, "Just two bullies who fear the strong. They are not worth mentioning. Get the production line ready, when the first batch of products is made, I want to see the eyes of the Mao Family and others pop out of their sockets!"
"Hehe, that's for sure. I never thought there could be such an easy and convenient way to treat tuberculosis. You're amazing, hubby!" Liu Ruyan said with joy.
Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Besides, the fish has taken the bait. Let's quietly wait for the show to begin!"
...
"Manager Xia, I'm so thrilled you could grace us with your presence."
In a private room at the Hua Du International Hotel, Zhai Guang was offering a toast to a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.
The middle-aged man was wearing a suit, but his belly was so big that it made his suit appear very large, the buttons nearly popping off.
The middle-aged man, named Xia Yun, was the deputy manager of the pharmaceutical department at Xu Liu Group. Although the position seemed minor in Xu Hao's eyes, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was already quite high. He had control over the implementation of the production line process, knowing every detail inside and out.
At this moment, he was invited to a restaurant by Zhai Guang, the then Director of Huadu North District Public Security Bureau, which made him feel quite elated. Although he wielded considerable power inside Xu Liu Group, once he stepped outside, he was just an ordinary person. After all, outside Xu Liu Group, he was nothing.
But now, being invited to a meal by the newly appointed Director Zhai couldn't have made him happier.
He knew very well in his heart that Zhai Guang must have some request for him.
Xia Yun smiled slightly, "Director Zhai, you're too polite. If there's anything I can do, I'll certainly help. After all, Xu Liu Group needs to rely on Director Zhai for its development in the North District!"
Xia Yun spoke with the attitude of being part of Xu Liu Group, but this only made Zhai Guang all the more cautious about him.
Zhai Guang hurriedly laughed, "Hahaha, Manager Xia, you're joking. Today, I have only one purpose, and that is to have a nice meal with Manager Xia, chatting about everything under the sun and to make friends with you today!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yun's guard dropped considerably, and he laughed, "Hahaha! Seems I've judged you with a petty mind, Director Zhai. Since that's your intention, I'll gladly drink with you!"
"Hahaha! Great! If we're drinking, wouldn't it be a bit lacking in elegance without the company of a beautiful lady? Ziwen, come and join Manager Xia."
At Zhai Guang's command, Lu Ziwen, who had been waiting outside, immediately came in and curtsied to Manager Xia.
When Manager Xia saw Lu Ziwen in her low V-cut cheongsam, his eyes widened instantly.
Seeing the aggressive gaze from Manager Xia, Lu Ziwen felt quite displeased, but for the sake of the big plan, she forced a smile and said to Manager Xia, "Manager Xia, let me drink with you. Come on, let's have a toast together."
