"Aren't you going to a welcome dinner for Dr. Wang tonight?"

"Well, Dad's here, that's enough. Besides, you're my mom's savior, so someone should at least show some appreciation, right?"

"Okay, where to?"

"It's a food street, a newly opened cold pot skewers place, I heard the taste is really authentic."

As they were talking, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Just as the two stepped out of the elevator, Xia Ziruo walked towards them, carrying several books in her hands.

"Xiao Hao? A colleague from the neurology department just told me she saw you here and was about to look for you. Where are you headed?"

Xia Ziruo was stunned for a moment, then glanced warily at Xiao Ruyu beside him.

hiss~

This girl is so pretty, who is she?

"Chairman Xiao of Guofu Group invited me for a consultation. It's over now. This is his daughter, Xiao Ruyu."

Zhou Hao answered truthfully, then turned to introduce her: "This is my sister, Xia Ziruo, the associate chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine."

"Hello there."

The two women nodded in greeting, gazed at each other for a few seconds, and both saw the word "amazed" in each other's eyes.

"Xiao Hao, I found a few books on traditional Chinese medicine. You can take a look."

Xia Ziruo shifted her gaze to Zhou Hao, smiling radiantly: "I haven't thanked you yet. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free in a couple of days."

"Thank you, okay, I'll contact you by phone. I'll be going now, goodbye Zi Ruo."

Zhou Hao took the books, smiled faintly, waved, and left.

Watching Zhou Hao and Xiao Ruyu's departing figures, Xia Ziruo felt a pang of melancholy, and an intuitive sense of crisis quietly crept in.

Xiao Ruyu is a young and beautiful heiress from a wealthy family, and it seems that Xiao Hao has a crush on her.

......

"It's obvious she likes you a lot—you're childhood sweethearts, aren't you?"

Inside the Lamborghini, Xiao Ruyu glanced at Zhou Hao, who was focused on driving.

"Uh, she's Uncle Shi's daughter. We wouldn't say we were childhood sweethearts, but we have known each other since we were little," Zhou Hao said casually.

"That's childhood sweethearts, I'm so envious~ And he says he's unemployed, can an unemployed person drive a Lamborghini?"

"This is a used car—a rich heiress and a domineering CEO, they won't both come out, will they?"

"Look behind you, you can't shake them off no matter what you do!"

Xiao Ruyu pouted playfully.

"All right."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Zhou Hao saw two black Mercedes-Benz vans following closely behind, less than two meters away.

This is the kind of demeanor a wealthy heiress should have.

The newly opened cold pot skewers restaurant on the snack street is actually just a roadside food stall.

There were many guests, and all the outdoor tables were occupied.

I waited in line for a long time before I finally got a seat.

The two ordered several of Yunyang's most distinctive dishes and a few bottles of beer, each chugging one and chatting casually as they ate.

"On behalf of my whole family, thank you. If you need any help in the future, just let me know~" Xiao Ruyu was slightly tipsy, and a blush rose on her fair face, like a peach blossom in March.

"Well, I never thought a rich heiress like you would eat at a street food stall." Zhou Hao tapped her wine bottle.

"Uh, the taste is better than in big hotels, why not? Being carefree and relaxed, that's what I want!"

"That's true."

......

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"I'm so happy tonight. Mom woke up and even recognized you~ Let's go home."

After finishing the bottle of wine in one gulp, Xiao Ruyu insisted on paying the bill.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Hao didn't act coy.

"Let's go to the riverside villa."

After leaving the food stall, Xiao Ruyu called a bodyguard to drive her.

Zhou Hao and I sat in the back row.

A black Honda led the way, followed by a black Mercedes-Benz, with a Lamborghini quickly merging into the traffic in the middle. Neon lights flashed on both sides of the street.

Twenty minutes later,

The three cars turned from Binjiang Avenue onto a side road leading into the villa area. The streetlights suddenly dimmed, emitting a faint, pale white glow.

at this time,

A bread truck suddenly darted out from the side and blocked the middle of the road. The doors opened, and seven or eight masked men jumped out.

He brandished the steel pipe and crowbar in his hand and charged towards the Mercedes and Lamborghini.

at the same time,

Another van screeched to a halt at the fork in the road behind, cutting off their escape route. Several masked men rushed out of the van and pounced on them.

The bodyguards in the two Mercedes reacted quickly, grabbing their weapons and rushing to meet them.

Soon the two sides clashed and engaged in a chaotic battle.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~"

"Aaaaaah~"

The sounds of metal clashing and piercing screams mingled together, creating a chilling atmosphere.

"Damn it! We've been ambushed! Which bastard leaked my whereabouts?"

Xiao Ruyu instinctively grabbed Zhou Hao's hand. Despite being well-traveled and used to big events, she still felt a surge of nervousness.

"They were waiting here beforehand. Someone must have tipped them off. Miss, please stay in the car and don't move around. I'll go help too."

The bodyguard driving the car said this and rushed out to join the fray.

"These people are skilled; it seems like this was a meticulously planned ambush."

Zhou Hao squeezed Xiao Ruyu's hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll go and meet them."

"Zhou Hao, don't go down. There are too many of them. You'll just be a sitting duck. I'm calling for reinforcements."

Xiao Ruyu held Zhou Hao's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Between talking,

The bodyguards who came to fight were no match for the enemy. They were being beaten to a pulp, their flesh and blood flying everywhere, and they were on the verge of being wiped out.

"Don't come down, I'll deal with these bastards."

Zhou Hao pried Xiao Ruyu's hands off and, before she could react, he had already gotten out of the car and rushed into the crowd. His figure moved swiftly, like lightning, and his fists struck left and right, each punch landing squarely.

With each punch, the sound of bones shattering rang out.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Ahhh~"

Accompanied by screams of agony, within a few breaths, the masked thugs were scattered haphazardly on the ground.

Zhou Hao shook his hand, stepped on the head of the nearest person, and prepared to ask who was behind the trouble, but the person bit down hard, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and he died with a kick of his legs.

The same happened to the remaining dozen or so people; not one of them survived.

"Damn, that's awesome."

Zhou Hao shook his head, took out his phone and called Zhu Xiaotian: "There are several thugs' bodies at the intersection of Binjiang Villa Road. Send someone to handle it."

"Yes, arrange it immediately."

Upon receiving the call, Zhu Xiaotian's lips twitched, but he dared not delay and quickly mobilized the nearest personnel to rush over.

now,

Xiao Ruyu, in the Lamborghini, stared in shock, his mind reeling, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Zhou Hao, all by himself and with his bare hands, took down more than a dozen skilled thugs in just a few breaths. How amazing is that?

Although she didn't understand martial arts, as the eldest daughter of one of the four major families in Yunyang City, she had come into contact with many junior masters, and her family even had a master-level bodyguard.

Zhou Hao's terrifying combat power is no less than that of a junior grandmaster.

After handling all the matters, Zhou Hao escorted Xiao Ruyu to the entrance of the riverside villa.

"Thank you so much for today. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?" Still shaken, Xiao Ruyu felt a strange urge. She had never invited a man to her villa before.
