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

This punch was fast and fierce, with a whistling wind, demonstrating solid martial arts skills.

Several knowledgeable people around nodded in agreement.

Although Sachiko's character is questionable, her martial arts skills are indeed quite impressive.

To everyone's surprise, Su Hao simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the punch.

When Xingzi missed his punch, he immediately changed his move, sweeping his left elbow and then delivering a low roundhouse kick to Su Hao's knee. His attacks were relentless, clearly indicating his intention to finish the fight quickly.

Su Hao still didn't fight back, he just kept dodging.

His movements were agile and unpredictable, always dodging Sachiko's attacks at the last second, like a leaf drifting in the wind, no matter how fierce the wind raged, it could not harm him in the slightest.

Sachiko became increasingly anxious as the game progressed, and sweat began to bead on her forehead.

He clearly felt that every punch he threw was just a hair's breadth away from hitting Su Hao, but he just missed by a tiny bit, no matter what he did.

After more than ten rounds, Su Hao finally began to fight back.

His counterattack surprised everyone present; he completely defied expectations and attacked the most insidious methods!

Poking eyes, kicking groin, stomping toes, pulling hair... Su Hao used these street thugs' fighting moves with unparalleled skill.

Although Yukiko was skilled in martial arts, she had never seen this kind of fighting style before, and she was caught off guard and in a sorry state.

In less than five rounds, Su Hao feinted with a Monkey Steals a Peach move, and taking advantage of the moment when Xingzi instinctively protected his groin, he slapped him across the face with a backhand, followed by a sweeping leg kick that knocked him to the ground, and then stepped on his chest, rendering him unable to move.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless, taking no more than three seconds.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

How could a martial arts genius be defeated by a seemingly ordinary young man using such "low-class" moves?

Su Hao withdrew his foot, dusted off non-existent dust from his hands, and said in a calm tone, "Thank you for the concession."

Sachiko got up from the ground, her face covered in bruises and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said sincerely, "Mr. Su, your skills are superb! I am completely convinced of my defeat! From now on, I will no longer bother Miss Mo Fei!"

Su Hao glanced at Sachiko with some surprise.

Although this person is arrogant and domineering, he can accept defeat and is still quite upright.

Xing Zishi lowered his hand, then couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Su, may I ask if you and Su Hao, the Deputy Director of the Military Affairs Department in the capital, are the same person?"

Su Hao did not deny it: "It was me."

Sachiko's pupils suddenly dilated, and she stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses, his voice filled with disbelief and shock: "You...you're the Deputy Director of the Military Affairs Department who dared to challenge Shi Lezhi?"

His voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet garden, it reached everyone's ears clearly.

The entire audience erupted in uproar once again.

Everyone stared at Su Hao in shock.

It turns out that this seemingly ordinary young man is none other than Su Hao, who has recently caused a huge uproar in Beijing!

Xing Zishi took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a salute again, and said with sincere respect, "Deputy Director Su, please forgive my rudeness earlier! I admire your courage and boldness! Everyone in China knows that you are going to duel with Shi Lezhi. The betting market is open, and most people are betting that you won't last three moves."

"But after playing against you today, I think you might not necessarily lose!"

Su Hao smiled but didn't reply.

Sachiko glanced at Mofei again, then turned and strode away from the garden.

His back was straight and firm, without the slightest trace of lingering attachment.

The gathering continued, but everyone's attention had shifted away from the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

People gathered in small groups, whispering about the duel they had just witnessed and Su Hao's identity.

Mo Fei walked up to Su Hao, bowed slightly, and said apologetically, "Mr. Su, I'm really sorry for using you as a shield earlier."

Su Hao changed the subject: "Miss Mo Fei, is that Sachiko really one of your suitors?"

Mo Fei was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Su?"

Su Hao did not answer directly, but said something meaningful.

"It's nothing, it's just that some people appear in your life in a way that seems a bit too coincidental."

After the gathering ended, Su Hao and Li Qiuchan slowly left.

Mo Fei stood there, watching Su Hao's departing figure, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She walked alone to a pavilion deep in the garden.

The moonlight shone on her, bathing her in a silvery-white glow.

A figure appeared silently behind her; it was Sachiko Minoru, who had just left.

"Miss Ouyang, Su Hao seems to be suspicious." Xingzi's tone was tinged with worry.

Ouyang Mofei slowly turned around. In the moonlight, her face no longer held the gentleness and fragility of before, but instead displayed a profound and calm expression.

"It's normal for him to be suspicious. If he didn't even have this much awareness, he wouldn't be worthy of being my Dragon Lord." Ouyang Mofei's tone was calm, but it carried a composure and maturity beyond his years.

After hesitating for a moment, Xing Zishi couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ouyang, are you really planning to win over Su Hao? Although he has some ability, he's probably not qualified to compete with Shi Lezhi."

Ouyang Mofei shook her head: "You don't understand. Although the Martial Division is nominally subordinate to my father, in reality, that woman Zhan Xier never completely obeys anyone's orders. She only acts from the perspective of the common people."

"Winning over Su Hao is the same as winning over Baili Xuanyi. With the peerless killing god as my backer, I can truly break free from the shackles of that sect marriage contract."

She paused, gazing at the city lights in the distance, her voice carrying a hint of depth: "Moreover, I always feel that this Su Hao is far more complex than he appears on the surface. He harbors many secrets."

Meanwhile, in the car on the way back, Su Hao was leaning back in the passenger seat, resting with his eyes closed.

Li Qiuchan drove for a long time, then couldn't help but ask, "Su Hao, do you think there's something wrong with Mo Fei?"

"yes!"

Su Hao opened his eyes, turned to look at her, and slowly said, "She deliberately approached me from the very beginning. That Xing Zishi was also someone she arranged to act. She created this 'hero saves the beauty' scene just to get involved with me."

Li Qiuchan's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, her face pale: "You mean... Mo Fei... is using me?"

"She is indeed your friend, that's for sure." Su Hao's tone softened a bit.

"But her approach to you was probably purposeful from the very beginning. Her real target was me."

Li Qiuchan remained silent for a long time, her eyes slightly reddening, her voice choked with emotion: "I've known her for three years... I always thought she was my best friend..."

Su Hao reached out and gently patted her shoulder, saying softly, "Don't be sad. At least, she didn't mean you any harm. She just wanted to get closer to me through you."

Li Qiuchan bit her lip, said nothing, and just drove silently.

The car drove towards Yunxi Bay in the night, the two people inside each preoccupied with their own thoughts, and remained silent the whole way.

……

Peaceful times pass by in the blink of an eye, like flowing water.

More than half a month has passed since that gathering.

Su Hao traveled between the Martial Arts Division stronghold, Yang Bao's training ground, and the Li family every day, guiding cultivation, preparing medicinal diets, and improving techniques. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Shi family made no further moves, as if the challenge and the assassination attempt had never happened.

But Su Hao knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

That afternoon, Su Hao was instructing Song Xiaoxiao in practicing the Jade Maiden Qi Cultivation Technique in the courtyard when Song Xiaoxiao suddenly received a phone call.

After listening to only a few words, her face turned deathly pale, and she almost dropped her phone.

"What's wrong?" Su Hao noticed her unusual behavior and asked with a frown.

Song Xiaoxiao raised her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"Su Hao... Zhao Silu is in trouble."

"She fell from the building and is still in the hospital receiving emergency treatment; she is not out of danger yet."
