Chapter 266: Silent Move
The night was as dark as ink, dotted with stars, and a black car slowly drove towards the Zhao family's magnificent manor.

The car door opened and Chu Hao got out. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans and looked like a loser from the 2000s.

Tonight, he was invited to attend the Zhao family's banquet.

Chu Hao raised his head slowly, not knowing what kind of waves were about to arise under this peaceful banquet.

Chu Hao stepped into the banquet hall, where the luxurious decorations were dazzling.

The crystal chandeliers cast brilliant light, reflecting on people's exquisite dresses. Everyone was laughing and enjoying the feast.

The appearance of Chu Hao was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which should not have caused any ripples.

The moves are made silently, but with intention.

"Hey, look who is this?" A slightly sarcastic voice sounded. Chu Hao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Kai holding a glass of red wine and walking towards him with a slightly frivolous pace.

Zhao Kai was wearing an expensive custom-made suit, his hair was combed shiny, and there was a disdainful sneer on his face.

Around him, there were several rich young men who were also dressed in fancy clothes, and there was a hint of watching the fun in their eyes.

"Isn't this Chu Hao? I didn't expect you to have the courage to attend our Zhao family's banquet." Zhao Kai walked up to Chu Hao, raised his head slightly, and looked down at him, as if he was looking at an insignificant little character.

As he spoke, he gently shook the red wine glass in his hand. The red wine rippled in the glass, as if mocking Chu Hao's arrival.

Chu Hao frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy, but he quickly regained his composure.

He glanced at Zhao Kai calmly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a polite yet distant smile: "Mr. Zhao, I will come here because of your invitation."

His voice was steady and calm, without any sign of panic caused by Zhao Kai's ridicule.

"Hmph, just you? Don't you even look at your own identity?" A trace of anger flashed across Zhao Kai's face. He didn't expect that Chu Hao was not angered by his ridicule.

He took a step forward, approaching Chu Hao, his eyes flashing with provocation: "You are just a powerless kid, and you dare to come here and mix with us upper-class people. You really overestimate your own abilities."

His voice rose a few notches, and people around him looked at him curiously, and some began to talk in low voices.

There was a hint of coldness in Chu Hao's eyes, but he remained calm.

He straightened his back, looked Zhao Kai in the eye, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Mr. Zhao, status cannot determine a person's value."

Zhao Kai was choked by Chu Hao's words, his face turned pale. He didn't expect Chu Hao to be so eloquent and could cleverly counterattack his ridicule every time.

He became even angrier and held the wine glass in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

He gulped down the wine in the glass and slammed it down on the table next to him with a loud bang.

"You... don't be so complacent." Zhao Kai said through gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness: "Do you think you can show off at this banquet? I tell you, this is not a place you can act wild." As he spoke, he waved his arms, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly with excitement.

Chu Hao looked at Zhao Kai's angry expression and couldn't help but feel a little amused. He shook his head slightly and said softly, "Mr. Zhao, I don't mean to be in the limelight, I just don't want to be humiliated for no reason. If Mr. Zhao has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

After saying that, he planned to turn around and leave, not wanting to continue to tangle with Zhao Kai.

"You want to leave? Not that easy!" Zhao Kai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart when he saw Chu Hao was about to leave.

He reached out and grabbed Chu Hao's arm, pulling hard, trying to pull Chu Hao back.

With a ferocious expression on his face, he shouted loudly: "Since you are here today, don't even think about leaving this banquet hall!"

Chu Hao was caught off guard by Zhao Kai's sudden action. His arm was tightly grasped by Zhao Kai, and he felt a pain.

His eyes turned cold in an instant, he struggled to break free from Zhao Kai's hand and took a step back.

He looked at Zhao Kai coldly and said, "Mr. Zhao, please be more respectful. Your behavior is really a disgrace to the Zhao family."

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of majesty, which shocked the people around him.

Zhao Kai was so angry at Chu Hao's words that he was shaking all over. He no longer cared about his manners and raised his fist to hit Chu Hao in the face.

At this critical moment, a beautiful figure suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Chu Hao.

"Zhao Kai, what are you doing!" Chu Tingting shouted loudly, her face full of anxiety and anger.

She stretched out her hands and pushed Zhao Kai away, then turned around and protected Chu Hao tightly, her eyes full of concern: "Chu Hao, are you okay?"

Chu Hao felt extremely proud as he looked at his granddaughter who stood up to protect him.

She is indeed a good granddaughter! She has the same demeanor as I did back then!
When you see injustice, draw your sword and help!

He shook his head gently and said, "I'm fine, thank you, Tingting."

When Zhao Kai saw that Chu Tingting actually stood in front of him for Chu Hao, the fire of jealousy in his heart burned fiercely.

He glared at Chu Hao fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Chu Tingting, he is a mentally retarded man who even needs to be exempted from the advanced mathematics exam!!"

His voice was full of anger and grievance, as if he was the one who was hurt.

Chu Tingting turned her head and looked at Zhao Kai, her eyes full of disappointment: "Zhao Kai, you are going too far! Chu Hao didn't do anything wrong, why are you targeting him like this?"

There was a hint of blame in Chu Tingting's voice, which made Zhao Kai feel even more uncomfortable.

Zhao Kai was speechless after hearing Chu Tingting's question, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the people around him and found that everyone was looking at him, and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

He knew that if he continued to make trouble, it would not only bring shame upon himself, but would also affect the Zhao family's reputation.

So he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Tingting, you misunderstood me." Zhao Kai pretended to be gentle and said, "I was just joking with him, but I didn't expect him to be so easy to tease."

As Zhao Kai spoke, he forced a smile, trying to save his image.

Chu Tingting looked at Zhao Kai's hypocritical smile, and her heart was filled with disgust. She snorted coldly and said, "Zhao Kai, you don't have to pretend in front of me. Don't I know what you are thinking?"

Chu Tingting's eyes were full of disdain, which made Zhao Kai's smile freeze on his face instantly.

Zhao Kai gritted his teeth in his heart. He hated Chu Hao so much that he wanted to get rid of him immediately.

But now that Chu Tingting was here, he couldn't lose his temper. He could only suppress his anger and said, "Tingting, I was wrong. I apologize to you."

There was a hint of reluctance in his voice, but in order to pretend to be an elegant gentleman in front of Chu Tingting, he had no choice but to do so.

Chu Tingting ignored Zhao Kai. She turned her head, looked at Chu Hao, and said, "Chu Hao, let's go. Don't pay attention to him."

After that, she took Chu Hao's hand and walked towards the other side of the banquet hall. Zhao Kai looked at the backs of Chu Tingting and Chu Hao leaving, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He secretly swore in his heart that after everyone went to Youyou Mountain, he would find an opportunity to deal with Chu Hao and let him know the consequences of offending him.

In the Zhao family's luxurious banquet hall, after Chu Tingting and Chu Hao left, Zhao Kai's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

He clenched his fists, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and his hatred for Chu Hao grew stronger.

He secretly thought that he couldn't let Chu Hao go so easily, and he had to find an opportunity to make him disappear completely.

Suddenly, Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something.

He walked quickly through the crowd and headed towards the back of the banquet hall, where his father Zhao Feihong usually rested.

Zhao Kai came to the door, took a deep breath, straightened his slightly messy collar and hair, and then knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Zhao Feihong's steady voice came from the room.

Zhao Kai pushed open the door, his face immediately filled with smiles, and he said respectfully, "Father, you are here."

Zhao Feihong sat on the sofa, holding a document in his hand. He looked up at Zhao Kai, frowned slightly, and asked, "Kai'er, why do you look like this? What happened?"

Zhao Kai's expression changed slightly, but he soon smiled again. He walked to Zhao Feihong, sat down, and said, "Father, it's nothing serious. I just feel that the atmosphere of today's banquet is not warm enough. I would like to ask you to invite Mr. Wu Fuyou to come out and give everyone the special meatballs."

Zhao Feihong put down the documents in his hand, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Zhao Kai thoughtfully.

He naturally knew what Zhao Kai was thinking. This kid had always been arrogant and he must have suffered a loss at the banquet today, so he came up with this idea to save face.

However, Mr. Wu is really good at making meatballs, and sharing the meatballs can also demonstrate the strength of the Zhao family.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Zhao Feihong nodded and said, "But Mr. Wu has been busy with other things recently and can't come in person today. I'll have someone bring out the meatballs and you can distribute them to everyone."

Zhao Kai was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he nodded and said, "Okay, father. Don't worry, I will definitely get this done."

Zhao Feihong stood up, walked to a safe in the room, entered the password, opened the safe, and took out an exquisite insulated box from it.

He carefully opened the thermal box, inside which were neatly arranged fragrant meatballs.

Zhao Kai took the thermal box, a gleam of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Remember, not a single one can be left behind. Don't eat too much." Zhao Feihong looked at Zhao Kai and said seriously.

"Dad, don't worry." Zhao Kai said quickly, then took the incubator, turned around and left the room.

Zhao Kai returned to the banquet hall, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet! Today, my Zhao family has specially prepared a generous gift for everyone to thank you for coming. This is the special human qi nourishing pill made by Mr. Wu Fuyou himself!"

When the words "Renqi Yangrong Pills" were heard, the people present immediately started talking, with expressions of excitement and anticipation on their faces.

Zhao Kai smiled proudly, and then began to distribute the Renqi Yangrong Pills to the people present one by one.

After receiving the meatball, everyone felt like they had found a treasure. They held it carefully in their hands and looked closely at the meatball that was praised to be so magical.

Chu Hao also received a human qi nourishing pill. He looked at the shiny meatball in his hand, but his heart was full of doubts.

He always felt that something was wrong with this matter. Why did Zhao Kai suddenly give everyone the Renqi Yangrong Pills?

Just as Chu Hao was thinking, Wang Lin stood up.

She was wearing a gorgeous evening gown, which made her look particularly eye-catching.

She held the Renqi Yangrong Pill in her hand and had a confident smile on her face.

Wang Lin said loudly: "The Renqi Yangrong Pills are praised by everyone who has eaten them. Since I have another chance today, I can't miss it." After saying that, she put the Renqi Yangrong Pills into her mouth without hesitation and began to devour them.

Everyone stared at Wang Lin, wanting to see her reaction after tasting it.

Wang Lin's eyes widened instantly, and an intoxicated look appeared on her face. While chewing, she said vaguely: "It's so delicious, and it tastes so familiar!"

"Wow, is it really that delicious?"

"It seems that this Renqi Yangrong Pill is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Seeing Wang Lin’s reaction, the students present exclaimed in amazement.

They could no longer suppress their curiosity and desire, and they put the Renqi Yangrong Pills in their mouths and started eating.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with exclamations and chewing sounds.

Everyone was conquered by the delicious Renqi Yangrong Pills and praised them highly while eating them.

However, Chu Hao and Chu Tingting stood aside, watching everything quietly without any action.

Chu Tingting's eyes were full of worry. She looked at Chu Hao and said softly, "Chu Hao, do you want to take this Renqi Yangrong Pill?"

Chu Hao frowned slightly, he looked at the meatball in his hand, thought for a moment and said: "Tingting, I always feel that this matter is a little strange."

Chu Tingting nodded and said, "Well, let's put the Renqi Yangrong Pill aside for now."

Chu Tingting stood in a corner of the banquet, her eyes lightly sweeping over those people who were extremely excited about the Renqi Yangrong Pills, with a barely perceptible arc of sarcasm appearing at the corner of her mouth.

In her opinion, those people were like deceived children, who were easily bewitched by the meat pills that were said to be able to enhance the Qi in the body.

She has been practicing unique skills since she was young, and her understanding of herself far exceeds that of ordinary people.

In her opinion, there is no magic pill in the world that can simply increase the Qi in the body.

What's more, the Qi in her body is like a vast ocean, with turbulent waves, endless and inexhaustible.

Chu Hao stood beside her, his expression as calm as water.

One is that it is really not necessary.

Secondly, of course, he knew better than anyone that this seemingly magical Renqi Yangrong Pill actually posed a hidden danger.

The Zhao family suddenly took out the Renqi Yangrong Pills for distribution, and he almost instantly determined that the Renqi Yangrong Pills might be a dangerous item.

And this Renqi Yangrong Pill may be the key tool for this hand to achieve its goal with the help of the Zhao family.

"Tsk tsk, it really is... the move is made silently."
