Two men dressed in military uniforms stood in front of the airport's departure area.

The man on the left was tall and imposing, carrying a broad, heavy sword on his back. He stood like an iron tower at the entrance of the passage, his piercing gaze sweeping over everyone who tried to pass through.

His aura was calm and profound, like an insurmountable mountain.

The man on the right was relatively thinner, with a slender Tang sword hanging at his waist. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, looking somewhat lazy, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and no movement could escape his notice.

Sachiko's heart sank to the bottom.

He knows those two people!

Wu Si's Gui Hai Yi Dao and Wu Xiao Ming.

Both of them are top experts in the Martial Arts Division.

There's only one possibility for them to be here.

Su Hao had anticipated that they would run away, so he sent people in advance to block all exit channels.

Sachiko gritted her teeth, grabbed Sachiko's hand, and turned to leave.

"Brother! Aren't we leaving?" Xing Caizhe was dragged along by him and staggered, shouting in dissatisfaction.

"We can't leave." There was a hint of despair in Sachiko's voice.

"The military authorities have already sealed off the airport. Let's go back now and discuss this further."

The two left the airport dejectedly and drove back into the city.

Instead of going straight home, Yukiko went around to the princess's residence.

In the living room of the princess's residence, Ouyang Mofei and Zhan Xier were sitting at the tea table drinking tea.

One was the only daughter of the Chinese governor, and the other was the director of the Military Affairs Department. They were of similar status and position. Although they did not interact much on a daily basis, they were still considered nodding acquaintances.

Seeing Sachiko walk in looking dejected, Ouyang Mofei put down her teacup and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you manage to leave?"

Sachiko shook her head and explained the situation at the airport.

He looked at Zhan Xier, his tone pleading: "Director Zhan, I know that Commander Wu is always impartial and incorruptible. But Cai Zhe is, after all, my only brother. I beg you to show mercy and spare his life. I am willing to pay any price!"

Zhan Xier held her teacup, took a slow sip, then put it down and said gently, "Young Master Xing, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that this matter is beyond my control. Su Hao is the deputy director of the Martial Arts Division, and he has the authority to mobilize the division's resources to track down the murderer who harmed his friend. Although I am the director, I cannot arbitrarily interfere with my subordinates' legitimate law enforcement."

Sachiko's face turned even more ashen.

Ouyang Mofei watched from the side, seemingly lost in thought.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Sister Zhan, I have a question for you. What is Wu Si's purpose in acting so forcefully these days? Is it to uphold justice, or to assert his presence?"

Zhan Xier glanced at her, her gaze deep: "The purpose of the Martial Division has never been to curry favor with any powerful figure, nor to flaunt its own prestige. The Martial Division protects the people of the world. If today, a subordinate of the Martial Division, Su Hao's friend, is bullied, and the Martial Division does nothing, then tomorrow even more people will wantonly trample on the dignity of the Martial Division."

"When the authority of the Military Command is completely destroyed, who will protect the ordinary people who truly need protection?"

After listening, Ouyang Mofei remained silent for a long time, then slowly nodded: "I understand."

She turned to Sachiko and said, "I can't get involved in this. You should go back."

Sachiko left dejectedly.

......

On the third day after Su Hao arrived in the capital, Zhao Silu's injuries had recovered to 80%.

Thanks to Su Hao's meticulous treatment and the effects of that miraculous ointment, her external injuries had basically healed, and her internal injuries were also mostly recovered. She was ready to be discharged from the hospital.

Su Hao helped her with the discharge procedures, and the first thing he did was to order the hospital that had treated Zhao Silu to be shut down.

Wu Si's men acted swiftly, sealing off all entrances and exits of the hospital that same day, and taking all the doctors and nurses involved into custody for investigation.

Those doctors who participated in the neglect treatment program had their medical licenses revoked and were blacklisted from the entire industry, meaning they will never be able to work in the medical field again.

The hospital director who accepted bribes from Xing Caizhe and arranged for Zhao Silu to die in a regular ward was directly arrested and imprisoned by Wu Si, and will face severe legal punishment.

After dealing with the hospital matters, Su Hao accompanied Zhao Silu to her agency.

Zhao Silu's agency is one of the largest entertainment companies in Beijing, with many top-tier artists and celebrities under its wing.

Zhao Silu, as the company's leading lady, has always been the company's cash cow.

However, since she fell from the building and was hospitalized, the company has made no substantive statements other than the initial bland statement, and not even a senior executive has visited her in the hospital.

The two walked into the company gate, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Those colleagues who usually treated Zhao Silu like sisters now avoided her like the plague, as if she carried some kind of contagious disease and they were afraid of getting involved with her.

Only one girl, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, came quickly to greet us, carrying a cup of hot milk tea.

She has a round face and big eyes, making her look very cute, but there's a stubborn, unyielding spirit between her brows.

"Sister Silu! You're finally discharged from the hospital! I was so worried about you!" The little girl handed the milk tea to Zhao Silu, her eyes red and her voice choked with sobs.

"Those people are so mean! When you were in the hospital, they said they would visit you, but behind your back they were all laughing at you, and some even said in the group chat that you deserved it! I took screenshots!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

The celebrities who had been pretending to be busy froze, their expressions a mix of embarrassment, anger, and guilt.

Looking at the straightforward young girl in front of her, Zhao Silu felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to pat her head: "Miaomiao, thank you."

This young girl is named Lin Miaomiao. She is a new artist that the company just signed this year and has not yet officially debuted.

She is a loyal fan of Zhao Silu, and she chose to sign with this company because she admires Zhao Silu.

In the company, she was the only one who genuinely cared for Zhao Silu.

Zhao Silu turned to Su Hao and said, "I want to take Miaomiao with me and train her. Once I terminate my contract, I'll have her come with me."

Su Hao nodded: "You can decide for yourself."

The three of them walked together toward the office of the company's boss, Lü Deng.

Lu Deng was a middle-aged man in his fifties, overweight, with a slightly balding head, and his small eyes gleamed with the shrewdness and cunning of a businessman.

Seeing Zhao Silu walk in with Su Hao and Lin Miaomiao, he quickly put on a smile and greeted them, "Oh! Silu! You're discharged from the hospital! Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have sent someone to pick you up!"

Zhao Silu stared at him coldly, without replying.

It was Lu Deng who strongly persuaded her to attend Xing Caizhe's banquet, saying that Young Master Xing was the son of the Deputy Director of the Inspectorate, and that having a good relationship with him would be very beneficial to the company's development.

However, after she got into trouble, Lü Deng immediately distanced herself from the matter, claiming that it was her personal behavior and had nothing to do with the company.

Lu Deng felt a little uncomfortable under Zhao Silu's gaze, and gave an awkward smile. Just as he was about to say something more, Su Hao was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

He raised his foot and kicked Lu Deng's desk.

"boom!"

He kicked the heavy mahogany desk into pieces, sending wood chips and documents flying everywhere.

Lu Deng was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud, her face pale and her whole body trembling.

Su Hao stepped forward, grabbed Lü Deng by the collar, lifted him up, walked to the window, opened it, and left half of Lü Deng's body hanging outside.

Fourteen stories high, with the wind howling, Lü Deng glanced down at the bustling traffic below and was terrified. She screamed, "Let me go! You...you can't kill me! If you kill me, the Surveillance Department won't let you get away with it!"

Su Hao looked at him, his gaze icy: "When you persuaded her to attend the banquet, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Lu Deng was so frightened that tears and snot streamed down her face, her voice trembling with sobs: "I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please let me go! I can compensate you! Any amount of money!"

Su Hao didn't say anything more and let go of her hand.

Lu Deng's body fell from the fourteenth floor, tracing a brief arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

Screams from pedestrians and the sirens of vehicle alarms could be heard from downstairs.

Lin Miaomiao stood in the office and witnessed everything. She was so frightened that she covered her mouth and turned pale.

Although she has a straightforward personality, she is, after all, just a young girl who has not yet officially debuted, and she has never seen such a scene before.

Zhao Silu remained calm.

She walked to Lin Miaomiao's side, took her hand, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, he'll be alright."

Looking into Zhao Silu's calm eyes, Lin Miaomiao felt her fear dissipate considerably for some reason.

Su Hao turned around and waved his hand.

"Let's go, next stop, the Sachi family."
