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

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to Yunxi Bay Villa from the Chen family's thank-you banquet.

Li Qiuchan went upstairs to her room, turned on her laptop, and began to deal with the backlog of work from the day.

Although Wei Zuo was exposed in public, the aftershocks of the negative public opinion will take time to completely subside. She needs to personally monitor the progress of the public relations department's clarification and call each of the partners who have postponed their contracts to communicate.

"Strange, where did this girl go?" Su Hao looked around the living room but couldn't find Song Xiaoxiao.

He took out his phone and dialed Song Xiaoxiao's number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered. Song Xiaoxiao's slightly breathless voice came from the other end: "Hey, Su Hao, why are you calling me?"

"Your cousin asked me to find out where you went."

Su Hao frowned and said, "Why is that person panting over there? What indescribable thing are you doing?"

"Indescribable my foot! Shan Die and I just finished ice skating and are heading back right away!"

"Ice skating?" Su Hao was somewhat surprised.

"Going ice skating so late at night?"

"It's an indoor ice rink! It won't affect anything." Song Xiaoxiao's tone was filled with excitement after exercising.

"Mountain Butterfly taught me a few new moves, and it took me ages to learn them! Okay, okay, I'm hanging up now, I'll be home later!"

Su Hao shook his head helplessly and hung up the phone.

This young lady, after going through such a big thing, still has the energy to go ice skating. She's got a big heart.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, Li Qiuchan suddenly walked out of the room quickly, her face somewhat solemn.

"Su Hao, Wei Zuo is dead."

Su Hao frowned slightly: "Dead? How did he die?"

"The news says his car exploded shortly after he left the clubhouse." Li Qiuchan handed him her phone, which displayed a newly pushed news alert.

"The police initially determined it to be an accident caused by vehicle malfunction, but I don't think it's that simple."

Su Hao took the phone, quickly glanced at the news, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Vehicle malfunction?

What a coincidence!

Wei Zuo was exposed in public at the Chen family's banquet and left in a sorry state. Less than an hour later, his car exploded.

This is clearly someone killing someone to cover it up!

He took out his phone and dialed Yang Bao's number: "Help me investigate something. Wei Zuo's car exploded, and I need to know who did it."

Yang Bao replied on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I'll send someone to investigate right away. I have connections at the traffic police station and can get firsthand on-site investigation reports."

"The sooner the better."

After hanging up the phone, Su Hao sat on the sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, lost in thought.

Wei Zuo was just a pawn.

He had already guessed this.

What truly surprised him was the speed and ruthlessness with which the other party silenced him; it was clearly not something an ordinary business rival could do.

Soon, Yang Bao called, saying he was from Zhao Jiaqian.

This answer was exactly what Su Hao expected.

Zhao Kai died at his hands; the Zhao family could not possibly remain indifferent.

But they didn't dare to directly attack us, so they chose to retaliate indirectly.

First, they tried to smear the Li Group by having Wei Zuo do so. After failing, they immediately cut off the leads and silenced Wei Zuo forever.

Why make Wei Zuo go through all this trouble?

After the incident with Zhao Silu, Zhao Wen, as the second-in-command of the Zhao family, could not possibly be unaware of his own power.

Sending Wei Zuo here is no different from sending him to his death.

Unless, Wei Zuo is just going through the motions, and the Zhao family has someone else to deal with...

Su Hao was completely baffled, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

There's always a way out!

If the other party wants to make a move, they will naturally leave clues!

He closed his eyes and waited. Around ten o'clock, there was a sound coming from the villa gate.

Song Xiaoxiao walked in carrying two large bags of things, and she still smelled of the cold air and disinfectant that were unique to the skating rink.

She changed her shoes, held up the bag in her hand, and said with a grin, "Cousin, I brought you some barbecue! Come down and eat!"

Li Qiuchan walked downstairs, her eyes lighting up.

"Wow, we can have an extra meal again."

Su Hao nodded slightly: "That's more like it. It wasn't for nothing that your cousin and I have been worried about you."

The three sat around the dining table, opened the plastic bag, which contained a bunch of late-night snacks such as grilled lamb skewers, and several bottles of chilled drinks.

The aroma of barbecue instantly filled the entire living room, whetting everyone's appetite.

Song Xiaoxiao picked up a skewer of lamb, took a big bite, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "Mmm! This barbecue is really delicious! Shan Die recommended it to me, saying it's the best barbecue stall in Jinling!"

Li Qiuchan also picked up a skewer of grilled chicken wings and ate it in small bites, her frustration gradually dissipating in the aroma of the grilled food.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Su Hao's lips.

In this world full of conspiracies and dangers, having a simple late-night snack and two people willing to stay by his side seems like a good thing.

After having a late-night snack, the three of them played a little bit of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) before returning to their rooms to rest.

......

The next morning, Su Hao was woken up by a message from Yang Bao.

He picked up his phone, and his gaze immediately froze.

"Mr. Su, Miss Shi Yiqun of the Shi family arrived in Nanjing today, ostensibly to investigate the local investment environment, but her target is very likely you."

The message was accompanied by a photo of a woman in her early thirties with long, flowing hair and exquisitely beautiful features, but her eyes held a sharpness and coldness that seemed incongruous with her beauty.

She stood at the airport exit, followed by several bodyguards in black. Her powerful aura caused those around her to instinctively give her a wide berth.

"Now I finally know who the Zhao family was trying to impress with that charade." Su Hao put down his phone, a cold smile playing on his lips.

After he finished washing up, he went downstairs and saw Song Xiaoxiao and Song Zhongji. Yu Wenqian was already sitting in the living room.

Song Xiaoxiao's face was a little pale, and she was holding her phone in her hand.

Seeing Su Hao come downstairs, she quickly stood up, her voice filled with worry.

"Su Hao... Shi Yiqun has come to Jinling. She's definitely here for you. Why don't you run away?"

Song Zhongji's expression was also very solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Su Hao, you must pay close attention to Shi Yiqun. This person has no bottom line. Relying on Shi Lezhi's doting, she has been running rampant in the capital for many years. Her ruthless and vicious methods are well-known in the entire capital circle."

"She's coming to Nanjing this time, and she won't let it go until she's made you suffer."

"Oh..." Su Hao's expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard the warnings. He walked to the dining table, sat down, picked up a slice of bread, spread jam on it, and began to eat slowly.

Song Xiaoxiao panicked: "Su Hao! Are you even listening to me? Shi Yiqun is really dangerous!"

Su Hao swallowed his bread, took a sip of milk, and said in a relaxed tone, "I heard that, but no matter how dangerous she is, she's just one person. She's not going to eat me, is she?"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Song Zhongji stamped his feet anxiously: "Su Hao! You mustn't underestimate her! Shi Yiqun's martial arts skills are not weak either. Although she is no match for you, she has the entire Shi family behind her! Shi Lezhi has been operating in the capital for many years, and his influence is deeply entrenched. If a fight really breaks out, you alone will not be able to fight against so many people!"

Su Hao put down his milk glass, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "Uncle Song, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Song Zhongji wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Hao's calm and still eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

At this moment, Li Qiuchan hurriedly went downstairs.

Half an hour later, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom silently pulled up in front of the Li family villa.

The car door opened, and Shi Yiqun stepped out.

She wore a black cheongsam with a white mink shawl draped over it and a pair of stiletto heels, exuding an aura of elegance and nobility that was also quite intimidating.

Shi Yiqun stood in front of the Li family's gate, her gaze sweeping over the servants at the entrance.

The maid felt an invisible pressure coming at her and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet her gaze.

Shi Yiqun did not knock on the door or ask anyone to announce her arrival; she simply stepped into the Li family's gate.

With each step she took, a tiny crack would appear on the bluestone pavement beneath her feet, as if it could not withstand the powerful martial arts aura emanating from her.

The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard rustled softly even without wind, as if they too feared the arrival of this woman...
