ise us, or else grandpa will kneel down until he can't stand..." Qin Ming took a five million check from Qin Hongjiang's hand while speaking."Here... This is the dividend for the past five years from...[ ]

"Foolish!" Shen Yue glared at him fiercely before quickly walking to Ling Hao's side.

Then, bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Young Master Ling, I was delayed by a call from my grandfather just now. I'm late and apologize for the inconvenience!"

knock! knock!

Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Xiong and Cao Dongquan both went limp, collapsing to the ground with faces full of terror and cold sweat pouring from their bodies.

Before their eyes, the two people were actually even someone that Shen Le had to bow and greet!

What level of bigwig is this!

Thinking about how the two of them had threatened to deal with Ling Hao before, they felt extremely bitter and regretful now. They truly had brought this upon themselves!

"Do you know them" Ling Hao spoke calmly.

"I've had Yuan Xiong do a few small things for me before." Shen Le responded respectfully.

"Is that so" Ling Hao spoke again, his tone as calm as ever. "Those two just wanted to ruin me and Lu Yue!"

Thump!

Yuan Xiong and Cao Dongquan stumbled to Ling Hao's front and knelt down directly.

"Sorry, I...I apologize. My eyes were blind to your greatness. Please forgive me..." Yuan Xiong struggled to speak, his face pale with shame.

Boom! Boom!

Before the words were even finished, Shen Le kicked him to the ground with a single kick.

"Those two clueless fools, they truly don't know how to write the word 'death'!" Shen Le said with a furious expression.

Then, he kicked a saber lying on the ground to Yuan Xiong's side: "First, cripple one of your arms, then wait for Shao Ling's judgement!"

"Received... Received..." Yuan Xiong gritted his teeth, picked up the cleaver and narrowed his eyes. With a swing of the blade, he chopped down at his own left arm.

To him, losing an arm was better than losing his life!

Ding!

Just as the cleaver was about to fall, a sharp crack echoed through the air. The cleaver flew out of Yuan Xiong's hand, and a tearing pain shot through his wrist.

And when he saw the little toothpick that had fallen to the ground at the same time, a tidal wave of emotions surged within him!

A single toothpick, effortlessly deflecting a full-powered strike

What is this concept

Terror like this!

For Shen Le's sake, I'll spare you this time. But if there's a next time, your life won't belong to you anymore!" Ling Hao said calmly.

"Thank you...thank you, Young Master Ling..." Yuan Xiong trembled all over and quickly knelt down to kowtow.

Then bowed again to Shen Le: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, thank you!"

He was very clear that if Shen Le hadn't appeared in time tonight, he probably wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow!

Given Ling Hao's displayed strength, the people he brought along are probably not even enough to fill someone's teeth!

"Now, let's talk about you." Ling Hao ignored Yuan Xiong and turned to face Cao Dongquan.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cao Dongquan crawled to Ling Hao's side, rolling on the ground and kowtowing with all his might: "Please... please spare my life, Young Master Ling..."

"I... I'll go to the community early tomorrow morning and return all the money to the owners... Please, Mr. Ling, spare me this time, I... I won't dare to do it again..."

"Besides, I...I am willing to give each family another 200,000 as a spiritual compensation..."

"You've probably done things like this before, haven't you" Ling Hao said lightly.

I'm giving you a week to straighten out your past dirty deeds, besides what we discussed for tomorrow. Apologize where you need to, and make amends where you owe it!

A week from now, I'll send someone to check. If I find out you have any wishful thinking, your life is mine!

"Please... please rest assured, Young Master Ling... I will definitely make up for everything..." Cao Dong quickly kowtowed.

Money, of course, is important, but one has to be alive to spend it!

He had absolutely no doubt that Ling Hao wanted to kill him, it was as simple as drinking water!

"About tonight's events, I don't want outsiders to know. The two of you go back and handle the people below!" Ling Hao then raised his hand and waved: "Scram!"

"Please rest assured, Young Master Ling, it definitely won't leak out…" Yuan Xiong and the two men kowtowed three times again before getting up and leaving with their people.

"Young Master Ling, I'm sorry, I didn't know they were looking for you." After the group left, Shen Le sat down on the chair next to Ling Hao.

"This has nothing to do with you." Ling Hao took a sip of tea and said, "The reason I called you here tonight is to discuss something else with you."

Then, she briefly introduced what had happened to Qin Ming's family before.

"The Qin family is courting death!" Shen Le said in a low voice after hearing Ling Hao's words.

"Young Master Ling, don't go to so much trouble. I can just acquire the Qin Corporation and then hand it over to Miss Yu Xin to manage."

"You're just like Lü Yuè, simple and crude!" Líng Hào glared at him impatiently. "If it were that simple, I wouldn't need you here."

"Uh..." Shen Le's mouth twitched.

"I don't want to let Yuxin know my true identity for now." Ling Hao spoke again.

On the one hand, I'm worried that she might feel like we're from different worlds if she knows, and distance herself from me even more!

On the other hand, the more she knows about my affairs, the more dangerous it is for her!

"Understood!" Shen Yue nodded solemnly.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Ling Hao's words, especially the second point. Within the borders, there were quite a few scoundrels who were restless and plotting!

"Tomorrow, you arrange for someone to follow my instructions and coordinate the contract with Qin Corporation." Ling Hao continued instructing.

"Don't worry, Young Master Ling. I assure you it will be done properly!" A few minutes later, Shen Le nodded in response again.

>The next morning.

Deep within a territory, the capital city, a special regulated area, an office.

Several men with serious expressions sat around a conference table, their eyes fixed on the resignation report projected on the screen. They wore different expressions.

"What a bunch of scoundrels!" One elderly man in a Tang suit broke the silence first.

"He only said a few words to me, but he shouldn't have left without saying goodbye! He just threw a resignation letter at me!"

"Who gave him the right to say he'll resign whenever he wants This is a big deal, treating it like a child's game!"

"Alright, you're not a child anymore. Why are you so quick to anger Watch out for your blood pressure!" said an old man in plain clothes calmly.

"All of us here know that kid's personality, don't we Do you think he would quit just because someone said a few things to him"

"Then what do you say it is because of" the Tang-styled elder said unconvinced.

"What do you think" the white-haired old man responded calmly.

Over the past two years, how much has he contributed to this country I think everyone here knows very well.

Let's not talk about his countless military achievements before. Just looking at the year he controlled the Shadow Gate, how many corrupt officials and hidden dangers did he remove for this country

Furthermore, several months ago, the West sounded the alarm, and we put forward quite a few names at that time!

Those few people weren't willing to accept the order no matter what excuse they gave.

"In the end, he still volunteered, donned his armor once more, and led his hundred thousand soldiers against a million enemy troops!"

"After three months of continuous battles, we captured the enemy commander's head and secured at least ten years of peace for the western frontier!"

"And you all think, has he ever asked you for anything excessive from the very beginning to now"

"No way!"

"Don't beat around the bush, what exactly are you trying to say" The elderly man in Tang clothing put down his teacup and asked.e left half-dead."Ling Hao!"Seeing the tall figure at the door, Qin Yuxin immediately ran over and threw herself into Ling Hao's arms, bursting into tears.Whew!Upon seeing Qin Yuxin's situation, a wav...
