The two turned their heads and saw Guo Shaoping standing at the entrance of the snack street, his face ashen and his eyes blazing with anger.

He had been eavesdropping from the shadows and finally confirmed it.

The roasted sweet potato he bought for five million was just a trick by Su Hao!

"Go get him! Cripple him!" Guo Shaoping waved his hand, and four burly men rushed out from behind him. Each of them was tall and strong, and they looked like they were trained fighters.

The four men rushed forward, unleashing punches and kicks with menacing force.

Su Hao didn't even stand up; he just lifted his foot slightly.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Four muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously.

The four burly men were as if they had been hit by the same invisible truck. They were all sent flying backward and crashed to the ground, clutching their stomachs and howling in pain. None of them could get up again.

Guo Shaoping was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, his face turning pale.

Seeing Su Hao approaching, he forced a brave voice and shouted, "My brother is Guo Shaohua! If you dare to touch me, my brother won't let you get away with it!"

Su Hao raised an eyebrow: "Guo Shaohua? Is that the good-for-nothing I taught a lesson at the intersection before?"

Guo Shaoping was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that a few days ago when his brother came back from going out, his face was covered in injuries, and he had deliberately put on makeup to cover them up.

When I asked my brother what happened, he only said that he had accidentally tripped and fallen.

After all that, it turns out he was beaten by Su Hao!

"Big...Big brother, I was wrong..."

Guo Shaoping's legs began to go weak, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"I was blind to your greatness, please forgive me this time..."

Su Hao stood up, walked up to him, and slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

Guo Shaoping was spun around on the spot by the slap, half of his face swelled up instantly, and a bloody tooth flew out of his mouth.

"Get lost," Su Hao said calmly.

Guo Shaoping scrambled away, not even bothering to look after the four men lying on the ground.

Su Hao turned around and went back to his seat, picked up the half-full cup of milk tea, and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened.

In contrast, Guo Shaoping covered his face and ran all the way to the school gate, took out his phone, and dialed a number with trembling hands.

"Hey? Brother Leopard? This is Guo Shaoping! I've been robbed of five million! Yes, right at the back gate of Jinling University! If you help me get it back, that five million is yours! The thief is just a country bumpkin, he has no connections!"

Yang Bao was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then asked, "What does the other person look like?"

"He was in his early twenties, wearing a white T-shirt, and accompanied by a very pretty short-haired girl!"

Yang Bao remained silent for a moment, then said something.

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shaoping waited and waited, and finally Yang Bao arrived half an hour later.

At that moment, Su Hao and Song Xiaoxiao had just finished eating snacks and walked out of the snack street.

Guo Shaoping, along with Yang Bao and his men, blocked the two's path, his face full of smugness: "Kid, you're in for it!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Su Hao and said to Yang Bao, "Brother Bao! It's him! He's the one who stole my money!"

Yang Bao looked in the direction he was pointing, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Are you sure you want to beat him up?"

"That's right!"

Guo Shaoping nodded, then issued an ultimatum to Su Hao: "You brat, why don't you kneel before Brother Leopard? You..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Bao turned around, raised his hand, and slapped Guo Shaoping hard across the face twice.

"Brother Leopard, what are you doing?" Guo Shaoping covered his face, completely bewildered.

Yang Bao ignored Guo Shaoping and then did something that left Guo Shaoping dumbfounded.

He strode forward and bowed respectfully to Su Hao: "Mr. Su, we meet again."

Guo Shaoping was completely dumbfounded: "You two know each other?"

"Another hothead." Song Xiaoxiao sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Su Hao shrugged and said to Yang Bao, "It's up to you."

With that, he led Song Xiaoxiao away.

Yang Bao grabbed Guo Shaoping by the collar: "Guo Shaoping, are you fucking looking for death? You dare to mess with Mr. Su? Do you know who he is? He's my savior!"

"Your brother Guo Shaohua also asked me for help dealing with Mr. Su last time, and I beat him up! Did you two brothers plan this together? Taking turns to die?"

Guo Shaoping was completely dumbfounded.

"No, I don't know, I really don't know!"

"Beat them!" Yang Bao waved his hand.

"Let him learn his lesson!"

Several henchmen pounced on him like wolves and tigers, raining down punches and kicks.

Guo Shaoping curled up on the ground, clutching his head, and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Seeing this, Yang Bao's new henchmen asked in hushed tones, "Brother Bao, who exactly is that kid? Even you're being so polite to him?"

Yang Bao stared at Su Hao's retreating figure with a hint of awe in his eyes: "He's no ordinary person; he's a peerless master. I've personally witnessed him flatten an iron pipe with his bare hands. A man like that, let alone a few of us, even dozens of men with knives wouldn't be enough to defeat him."

Several of his men gasped, their gazes towards Su Hao's retreating figure now tinged with awe.

......

After leaving Jinling University, Su Hao accompanied Song Xiaoxiao to the amusement park for an afternoon, and they didn't start their journey home until five o'clock.

On his way to pick up Li Qiuchan from the Li Group, his phone rang.

Su Hao glanced at the screen; it was an unfamiliar number, but the location indicated it was from Jinling.

He hesitated for a moment, then answered the call and pressed speakerphone.

"Hello, who is this?"

A cool female voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with hesitation and determination: "It's me, Shen Qingci."

Su Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised: "Miss Shen? How did you get my contact information?"

"I have my own way of doing things." Shen Qingci's tone was still aloof, but it was a bit gentler than it had been at the art exhibition.

"Is now a convenient time to talk? I'd like to meet with you alone; there's something important I'd like to discuss with you."

Su Hao was taken aback: "Now?"

"Yes, right now." Shen Qingci paused, then added.

"I'll be waiting for you at Blue Night Charm Bar. I hope you can come alone."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Su Hao's reply.

The car was silent for a few seconds.

After listening to the whole story, Song Xiaoxiao's eyes showed a hint of wariness and dissatisfaction: "I do not agree to you going to see Shen Qingci."

Why?

"A man and a woman alone at a bar late at night, who knows what she's up to? I'm going to keep an eye on you for my cousin!"

Su Hao gave her a helpless look: "Can't people have important things to do?"

"What important business has to be discussed at a bar so late at night?" Song Xiaoxiao clearly didn't believe it.

"I think she has ulterior motives!"

Su Hao was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "She might know where my senior sister is."

Song Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Although she hadn't known Su Hao for long, she knew how important his three masters were to him.

The person he calls "senior sister" must be a very important figure.

"How does this senior sister have contact with Shen Qingci? Where did you get this information?"

Su Hao told the truth: "She has the senior sister's keepsake on her. I saw it at the art exhibition before."

"You didn't give her the painting for free just because of this keepsake, did you?" Song Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something.

"Yes."

Su Hao readily admitted, "My senior sister is named Ye Qingcheng. We've lost contact for many years. I've been searching for her whereabouts, but to no avail. Now that I've finally encountered someone connected to her, I can't let this opportunity slip by."

"Are you so sure Shen Qingci knows where your senior sister is?" Song Xiaoxiao's tone softened.

"I'm not sure, but she has my senior sister's keepsake on her, so maybe she knows some clues."

Su Hao said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xiao, this matter is very important to me, so I have to go."

Looking at his serious expression, Song Xiaoxiao knew he wasn't joking.

She was silent for a moment, then finally relented: "Okay... but you have to promise me you'll be careful. If anything happens, call me immediately."

"Okay, I promise."

"That's more like it."

Song Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you can take a taxi to the bar yourself, and I'll drive to pick up my cousin."

"You can drive?" Su Hao asked in surprise.

Song Xiaoxiao snorted, "Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm a racing champion. If it weren't for health reasons that prevented me from racing later, I would have been famous at home and abroad long ago."

Su Hao, half-believing and half-doubting, parked the car on the side of the road and let Song Xiaoxiao switch to the driver's seat.

She got into the car skillfully, adjusted her seat, then rolled down the window, leaned out, and said, "Remember, be careful! Don't get bewitched by that woman!"

With that, Song Xiaoxiao stepped on the gas, and the car shot off, disappearing from Su Hao's sight in seconds...
