Chapter 126: There's a Traitor [No. 28 8/13]
Zhou Shuran saw the situation and didn't dare to speak out, quietly standing to the side.
After a long while.
The two elders finally finished their cultivation but remained sitting cross-legged.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his voice deep and resonant, not at all like someone in his eighties, and said, "Have you finally come to a realization?"
"Mm!"
Zhou Shuran nodded vigorously, the thought of Xu Hao's unrestrained and wild laughter made her teeth itch with hatred, wishing she could tear him apart alive.
The old woman chuckled, "Did someone bully you outside? Do you want your grandma to take care of them for you?"
"No need! I am not like that useless Zhou Huasheng who only knows how to pick fights!" Zhou Shuran adamantly refused.
She had her pride. If she wanted revenge, she wanted to take it with her own hands. She was reluctant to learn martial arts in the past because practicing martial arts required enduring a lot of hardships and loneliness, as well as tedium.
But Xu Hao had provoked her. She wanted to learn martial arts, become strong, and then smash Xu Hao's butt to pieces!
The elder was very pleased with Zhou Shuran's words and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Worthy of being my granddaughter, Zhou Yiming, you have the spirit! It's time that boy Huasheng was thrown somewhere to toughen up; otherwise, half of the Zhou Family's foundation will be ruined by his hands!"
At that moment, Zhou Shuran lifted her head proudly, like an arrogant swan. Hmph, how could I be compared to that waste?!
The old woman said, "Since that's the case, I will send you to the Southwest Xuanmen to train. Remember, the rules there are strict. You must not speak loudly or behave like a spoilt young lady. If you break the rules there, even I won't be able to save you!"
"Mm-hmm." Zhou Shuran nodded obediently. She knew what kind of place the Southwest Xuanmen was and that was exactly why she was reluctant to go.
But today, Xu Hao had really pushed her to the edge.
…
Zhou Shuran was determined to study diligently and take revenge by breaking Xu Hao's butt, but of course, Xu Hao had no idea about it.
At the moment, he was also bogged down in trouble.
He thought that when he returned to Jing'an, he would finally be able to rest quietly on the car ride, but Chen Suyi got in the car.
Moreover, Chen Suyi was sitting next to him, chattering away nonstop,
"Xu Hao, how are you so powerful?"
"Xu Hao, can you teach me? That way, I wouldn't need a bodyguard."
"Isn't martial arts not supposed to be taught casually? Since you cured my grandpa's illness, do you want to teach me your medical skills?"
"…"
Xu Hao said helplessly, "Miss Chen, can't you rest for a bit? You're not tired, but I am."
"Hmph! Other people beg me to talk to them, and I don't feel like it!" Chen Suyi said haughtily.
Xu Hao turned to glance at the car behind them, which was intended for Chen Suyi's use. However, at the moment, only her assistant Sun Hongmei was in the vehicle.
Xu Hao whispered, "Chen Suyi, I'm going to tell you something that concerns your life and death. In exchange, can you stop asking me questions?"
"I'm not stupid, tell me first. I'll decide if it's worth keeping my mouth shut," Chen Suyi said immediately.
Xu Hao said resignedly, "Alright, alright. Do you know why you're always in danger? Do you know why those people who want to harm you can always pinpoint your location precisely, even setting up in advance?"
"Why?" Chen Suyi asked hastily.
Xu Hao pointed behind him and said, "It's all because of your assistant, Sun Hongmei. She's been in contact with those people all along."
Xu Hao had been suspicious of Sun Hongmei for a while, so he had Wang Zhong investigate her, and sure enough, she was in contact with the Islanders.
Xu Hao had originally planned to deal with her at an opportune time, but now he had a new strategy in mind.
Chen Suyi immediately retorted, "That's impossible. Sister Mei has always been nice to me, she's very dedicated to her work, and she was chosen by my father; her loyalty is absolutely not a problem! Don't accuse a good person just to shut me up."
Xu Hao shrugged and said, "Miss Chen, dare to make a bet with me?"
Chen Suyi instantly cowered, thinking about the last person who bet with Xu Hao, who was probably still rubbing his butt nonstop.
Liu Ruyan laughed and said, "Husband, stop teasing her. Just say what you have to say."
Xu Hao shook his head and said, "No, that won't do. This time you're going to endorse our jadeite jewelry, right? If Sun Hongmei is really in touch with the Islanders who want to harm you, then you must endorse all products from the Xu Liu Group unconditionally forever. Of course, if I lose and Sun Hongmei is innocent, then I'll…"
Before Xu Hao could finish, Chen Suyi interjected, "You'll teach me martial arts!"
Xu Hao gave a mischievous smile and said, "Deal! It's settled!"
"Hmph! Pinky promise!"
Chen Suyi extended her slender hand, her tiny pinky finger pointing towards Xu Hao's nose.
Xu Hao knew she was doing it on purpose and reached out with his pinky finger to poke back.
"Ah! Xu Da Liu|Hooligan, you're hurting me!"
Chen Suyi quickly pulled back her finger, nearly in tears from the pain.
Liu Ruyan helplessly shook her head. These two clowns were really too much.
Meanwhile, Sun Hongmei, who was driving the car behind, had no idea that Xu Hao had set his sights on her.
She was driving while talking on a Bluetooth headset.
