The living room fell silent again.

Song Zhongji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the way he looked at Su Hao completely changed.

This isn't just a young boy, this is a living god!

He quickly put on a kind and amiable smile, leaned forward, and said in an extremely warm tone, "My dear son-in-law, I was wrong just now. I was blind. Please don't take it to heart."

Yu Wenqian smiled obsequiously, "Yes, yes, your son-in-law is handsome and promising. It's Xiaoxiao's good fortune to be with you. Qiuchan is also a good girl. We can rest assured that we've entrusted both girls to you."

Standing to the side, Song Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed red instantly upon hearing the words "good son-in-law," and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.

She secretly pinched Su Hao and whispered, "It's all your fault..."

Su Hao smiled but didn't reply. He simply looked at Song Zhongji and got straight to the point: "Alright, enough with the formalities. Tell me, what exactly happened with Xiao Xiao's mother? And what's going on with Shi Lezhi?"

When this matter was mentioned, Song Zhongji's smile faded, he sighed, and his expression became serious.

"The story begins more than twenty years ago..."

He slowly recounted the events of that year, explaining everything clearly.

Back then, Song Zhongji and Liu Wanqing, the biological mother of Song Xiaoxiao, fell in love and were so in love that they were ready to get married.

However, at a banquet, Shi Lezhi met Liu Wanqing and immediately took a liking to her.

At that time, Shi Lezhi was already a powerful figure. He sent people to pressure Song Zhongji, demanding that he either hand over Liu Wanqing or make the Song family disappear completely.

In order to save the lives of the Song family and Liu Wanqing, Liu Wanqing took the initiative to compromise and agreed to marry Shi Lezhi on the condition that Shi Lezhi would not harm Song Zhongji and the unborn Song Xiaoxiao.

"For more than 20 years, Wanqing has been under house arrest in the Shi Mansion in the capital, and even going out is restricted." Song Zhongji's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.

"I only saw her twice secretly, and each time she was terribly thin. Shi Lezhi is a hypocrite on the surface, but in reality he is ruthless and extremely controlling. Wanqing has been living a life worse than death these past few years."

Song Xiaoxiao burst into tears upon hearing this, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

It turns out her mother suffered so much.

"Su Hao..."

Song Xiaoxiao looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, and bit her lip, saying, "Otherwise... let's just forget about it. Shi Lezhi is too dangerous; I don't want you to take risks for me. At worst... at worst, I'll just stop seeing Mom."

"Don't talk nonsense." Su Hao ruffled her hair, his tone firm.

"I said I'd help you, and I will. I'll go to the capital, and I'll rescue your mother. Who does Shi Lezhi think he is, daring to stop me?"

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it," Su Hao interrupted her, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"If he dares to detain people, he should be prepared to pay the price."

Looking at Su Hao's confident demeanor, Song Zhongji felt a mix of emotions.

He both hoped that Su Hao could really rescue Liu Wanqing, but he was also afraid that Su Hao would anger Shi Lezhi and bring disaster upon the Song family.

But now, he can only place his hopes on Su Hao.

"Shi Lezhi's martial arts cultivation is unfathomable. It is said that he has already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm and has one foot in the Celestial Master realm," Song Zhongji reminded him.

"Moreover, he has many skilled men under his command, and the capital is his territory. My dear son-in-law, if you really go to the capital, you must be extremely careful."

"Celestial Master Realm?" Su Hao scoffed.

"Perfect timing, I'd like to see it for myself too."

He had just exchanged blows with a mysterious person who appeared to be at the Celestial Master level last night, and was worried about not having a worthy opponent.

……

The atmosphere was heavy, and no one wanted to stay at home anymore.

Li Qiuchan suggested going out for a bite to eat to change their mood, so the group packed up and headed to a high-end restaurant in the city.

As soon as the car pulled up in front of the restaurant, Su Hao's phone rang.

It was the villa security guard who called.

"Mr. Su! Something terrible has happened! A young man named Song Peng, accompanied by two burly men, forced his way into the villa. We couldn't stop him, and we were all injured! He says he's looking for Miss Song Xiaoxiao and wants to take her away!"

Su Hao's eyes turned cold.

This is really never going to end.

"Okay, we'll head back right away."

He hung up the phone, turned the car around, and drove back to Yunxi Bay.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw two security guards lying on the ground at the gate, clutching their stomachs and groaning.

A loud laugh echoed from the living room. A young man in a floral shirt sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, while two muscular men stood behind him, looking menacing.

Seeing Su Hao and his group enter, the young man's eyes lit up. His gaze fell on Song Xiaoxiao, and he grinned, saying, "Xiaoxiao, long time no see! The patriarch sent me to pick you up and take you home!"

Song Zhongji's face darkened, and he stepped forward, shouting sternly, "Song Peng! Who let you come here? What do you want?!"

"Uncle, don't get so angry." Song Peng slowly stood up and swaggered around.

"I'm just following orders. The head of the Shen family in the capital recently lost his wife and wants to find a new wife. He said that sending Xiaoxiao there would not only allow us to establish a relationship with the Shen family, but also to get in touch with the Shi family. It's a win-win situation, something many people would kill for."

"Bullshit!" Song Zhongji was so angry that he trembled all over.

"The head of the Shen family is almost seventy years old! He's cruel and tyrannical, and his previous wives were all tortured to death by him! You're pushing Xiaoxiao into a fire pit!"

"So what?" Song Peng shrugged nonchalantly, his eyes sweeping over Li Qiuchan with a hint of threat.

"What's a little sacrifice like Song Xiaoxiao for the sake of the family's interests? Mr. Li, I know your Li family has some influence in Jinling, but this matter involves the Shi and Shen families in Beijing. I advise you not to get involved. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether your Li family can maintain its foothold in Jinling."

Li Qiuchan's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked at Su Hao.

Su Hao remained silent, standing aside and observing coldly.

Upon hearing this, he finally moved.

He took two steps forward and walked up to Song Peng.

Before Song Peng could react, he saw two afterimages flash by.

"Slap! Slap!"

Two crisp slaps rang out almost simultaneously.

Song Peng was spun around twice by the slap, and his cheeks swelled up at a visible speed, as if two steamed buns had been stuffed inside.

He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud, two bloody teeth flying out of his mouth. His head was buzzing, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.

"You...you dare hit me?!" He covered his face, both shocked and furious.

Upon seeing this, the two burly men behind him roared and lunged at Su Hao with punches.

Both of them were skilled martial artists; their punches carried a powerful force, clearly demonstrating their expertise.

Su Hao didn't even move a step.

He casually lifted his foot and kicked it once to the left and once to the right.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two muffled thuds.

The two burly men were sent flying backward as if hit head-on by a speeding truck, crashing heavily into the load-bearing wall of the living room with a "crack" sound of bones breaking.

The two slid softly to the ground, spitting out blood. They twitched a few times and then fell silent.

He died on the spot.

Song Peng's pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

A stream of heat flowed down his trouser leg, spreading out a water stain on the floor.

He was so scared he peed himself!

Su Hao walked up to Song Peng, looking down at him with an icy tone: "Go back and tell the Song family head that Song Xiaoxiao is mine. If anyone dares to lay a finger on her again, I will wipe out the entire Song family."

"Yes...yes, yes, yes..." Song Peng scrambled to his feet, not daring to lift his head, and stumbled out, not even caring about the corpses of the two burly men.

He only dared to breathe heavily after running out of the villa gate; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

devil……

That Su Hao is a complete devil!

……

We can't go to the restaurant anymore.

Su Hao tidied up the mess in the living room, and the group sat on the sofa in a somber atmosphere.

Li Qiuchan spoke with lingering fear, "Su Hao, you killed members of the Song family today. The Song family will definitely not let this go. They have Shi Lezhi backing them up. If they really use official power, I'm afraid we..."

"Yes, my dear son-in-law, Shi Lezhi has been operating in the capital for many years, and his influence extends throughout the court and the country." Song Zhongji also looked worried.

"Let alone our Song family, even those established wealthy families wouldn't dare to offend him easily. This matter probably won't end well."

Su Hao didn't say anything, but took out his phone and dialed Han Gaoyang's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Han Gaoyang's respectful voice came from the other end: "Deputy Director Su, you wanted to see me?"

"I have a question for you," Su Hao said, getting straight to the point.

"What's the relationship between Takeshi and Shi Lezhi?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Han Gaoyang's voice became serious: "Deputy Director Su, the Military Department has always stood on the side of the highest leadership, while Shi Lezhi has held power in the government for many years, and the two sides have always been in a state of mutual antagonism. To be honest, the Military Department has been at a disadvantage for many years, and even faced the risk of being disbanded at one point. However, recently, we have made some breakthroughs in Nanjing, and the Director has begun to prepare for a counterattack."

"Counterattack?" Su Hao scoffed.

"My eighth senior sister is too weak. She only thinks of fighting back when she's been bullied to the point of being pushed to her limit."

Han Gaoyang coughed twice, not daring to comment on the director, and could only try to smooth things over: "The director also has his difficulties. After all, the Military Division has been infiltrated too much, which makes things very difficult for him..."

"Alright, I understand," Su Hao interrupted him.

"Tell Zhan Xier that I will take action against Shi Lezhi. Tell her to be prepared and cooperate with my plan."

"Yes! I will definitely convey this to the Director!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Hao put it away, a cold glint in his eyes.

Join forces with the military to first bring down Shi Lezhi.

Perfect timing, let's settle both the old and new scores together!
