After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

The capital city, the Shi family mansion.

Shi Yiqun sat on the sofa, her left shoulder wrapped in a thick bandage, her face still somewhat pale.

She had changed into clean home clothes, but the fierceness between her brows had not diminished at all.

Shi Lezhi sat behind the desk opposite her, holding a fountain pen in his hand, his gaze fixed on a document on the table, remaining silent.

"Brother, are you... feeling sorry for this son?"

Shi Lezhi did not answer immediately.

He stood up, walked to the window, gazed at the gray sky outside, and slowly said, "He is not only my son, but also Baili Xuanyi's disciple. None of those three women are easy to mess with. If I really make a move against him, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the peerless killing god, the unparalleled medical immortal, and the master of painting at the same time. The Shi family cannot afford that price."

He turned around, looked at Shi Yiqun, and said sternly, "Yiqun, this matter ends here. Go back to your room to recover from your injuries and don't interfere anymore."

Looking into her brother's deep eyes, Shi Yiqun opened her mouth as if to say something, but finally nodded and said, "I understand, brother."

She stood up, turned and walked out of the study, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Shi Yiqun had never suffered such humiliation in her life.

Su Hao slapped her in front of so many people, stabbed her shoulder, and made her flee back to the capital like a stray dog.

She's determined to get her revenge!

After Shi Yiqun left, Shi Lezhi sat back down at his desk.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and pressed a hidden button under the desk.

A hidden door in the wall slid open silently, and a figure completely shrouded in black night clothes stepped out.

The man was not tall, but every step he took was as steady as a mountain, as if he had merged with the surrounding shadows. His aura was faint and elusive, clearly indicating that he was a top-notch master of concealment.

"Master." The man knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse and deep.

Shi Lezhi didn't turn around, but simply said, "Xiao Si, go to Jinling and kill a man named Su Hao."

Without hesitation, the man in black, referred to as Xiao Si, bowed his head and replied, "Yes, sir."

"They are very strong, so avoid a direct confrontation," Shi Lezhi added.

"Find an opportunity to strike decisively."

"Understood." Xiao Si's figure, like a wisp of smoke, silently blended into the night outside the window and disappeared.

Shi Lezhi sat alone in the study, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Su Hao... if you had stayed quietly on the mountain and not gotten involved in these worldly disputes, I might have spared your life. But if you insist on standing out, then you're doomed."

......

Shen family.

The group had just finished eating, and Shen Wencong and Su Hao were playing chess when their cell phones suddenly started vibrating rapidly in their pockets.

He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked to the window to answer the call.

After only a few words were spoken on the other end of the phone, Shen Wencong's expression became extremely serious.

He hung up the phone, walked back to Su Hao, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, we just received urgent intelligence. Shi Lezhi's hidden guards have already set off, codenamed 'Little Four,' and their target is you."

Su Hao's gaze sharpened slightly, but his face showed no sign of panic: "Hidden Guards?"

"Stone Lezhi has a secret team of assassins under his command, codenamed Hidden Guards. These people are brainwashed and trained from childhood, and are proficient in various methods such as assassination, infiltration, and poisoning. Each of them has the strength to kill a grandmaster in one fell swoop."

Shen Wencong's tone carried a hint of apprehension: "Xiao Si is the fourth most important figure in the Hidden Guards. He excels at stealth and surprise attacks, and countless experts have died at his hands. Since he has already set off, it means that Shi Lezhi no longer intends to play the superficial game with you."

Su Hao stood up, his expression calm: "In that case, I'll go back and wait for him."

"Young Master!"

Shen Wencong quickly replied, "I'll go back with you! The more people there are, the more strength we'll have!"

"Need not."

Su Hao shook his head.

"You stay here to protect Qingci and Auntie. I'm enough on my own."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the Shen family's living room, leaving Shen Wencong and Sun Quan looking at each other with worry in their eyes.

......

When Su Hao drove back to Yunxi Bay Villa, it was already dark.

He didn't turn on the lights, but walked straight into the living room, sat down in the dark, closed his eyes, and extended his senses to the maximum extent, covering the entire villa and the surrounding area.

The night breeze swept through the courtyard, rustling the leaves.

A few car horns occasionally rang out from the distant streets, then silence returned.

Everything was so peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Li Qiuchan called.

"Su Hao, how are you doing? Do you need any help?"

"Nothing unusual has been found yet, no need. You can stay at the Li family's place. I've already had the Martial Division's men take you nearby. I'll be there as soon as there's a problem."

After chatting with Li Qiuchan for a few more minutes, Su Hao hung up the phone.

What he didn't say was that he chose the villa because he was afraid of being distracted and also needed to protect Li Qiuchan and the others.

Time passed second by second.

Two o'clock in the morning.

A dark shadow, like a gecko, silently clung to the outer wall of the Li family villa.

The figure was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering its face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

His movements were light and agile, using all four limbs to climb up the wall without making a sound, like a spider hunting at night.

Climbing onto the second-floor balcony, the dark figure easily pried open the balcony door lock with a thin wire, then flashed into Su Hao's room on the first floor like a wisp of smoke.

The room was pitch black, with only the moonlight filtering through the curtains and casting a faint glow on the floor.

Xiao Si stood in the center of the room, his gaze quickly sweeping around before settling on the raised quilt on the bed.

With a flick of his right hand, a poisoned short sword appeared in his palm, its blade gleaming with a faint blue light in the darkness.

He held his breath and walked step by step to the bedside, raising the short sword high in his hand and stabbing it down hard at the human figure under the blankets!

The short sword pierced through the bedding and embedded itself deeply in the mattress.

But Xiao Si's expression changed instantly.

It doesn't feel right!

There's no one under the blankets!

He turned around abruptly, only to see a figure leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching him with an air of nonchalance.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Su Hao's voice rang out in the darkness, carrying a hint of mockery.

"So, you're the kind of scum who sent someone like you to kill me?"

Xiao Si's pupils suddenly contracted.

Without the slightest hesitation, he flicked his wrist, and the short sword transformed into a streak of cold light, flying out of his hand and shooting straight at Su Hao's throat!

At the same time, Xiao Si retreated rapidly, reached into his waist with his right hand, pulled out three poisoned darts, and threw them again, blocking all possible evasion routes for Su Hao!

This series of actions was lightning fast and fluid, fully demonstrating the combat skills of the Hidden Guard's top assassins.

However, Su Hao didn't even move a step.

He raised his right hand and flicked his finger.

A golden burst of true energy shot out from his fingertips, striking the incoming short sword with pinpoint accuracy.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the short sword made of fine steel was shattered by this true energy, turning into several fragments that clattered to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he casually waved his hand, and an invisible force unfolded in front of him like a barrier.

The three darts struck the energy source as if hitting an invisible wall, their speed decreasing drastically before they fell helplessly to the ground.

"A protective aura, this is already at the level of a Celestial Master!" Xiao Si's expression finally changed.

He had carried out countless assassination missions and encountered all sorts of experts, but he had never met anyone like Su Hao who could so effortlessly neutralize his full-force attack.

I've really messed up this time.

But he did not retreat!

The word "retreat" doesn't exist in the Hidden Guard's dictionary!

Xiao Si let out a low shout, and his true energy suddenly erupted. He charged towards Su Hao like a cannonball, his right fist whistling through the air as it aimed straight at Su Hao's face!

This punch concentrated all his power; the wind howled, and the air was compressed to produce a sharp, explosive sound!

Su Hao did not dodge, but simply stretched out his right hand, fingers spread, and met the fist head-on.

Fist and palm meet.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no violent shockwaves.

Su Hao's palm seemed to possess a magical power, effortlessly catching Xiao Si's powerful punch, then closing his fingers to lock Xiao Si's fist in place.

Xiao Si felt as if his fist was being tightly clamped by an iron clamp, unable to advance or retreat. Even the true energy within his body was suppressed by a powerful force, unable to circulate at all.

An unprecedented fear surged within him.

The Celestial Master is a terrifyingly powerful figure...
