Han Lingshi heard from Xiao Mei, and she was instantly worried about Hao Ren. From what she understood about him, Hao Ren was a man who would not reveal his thoughts to her easily. She drove her car to his location.
While Han Lingshi was headed to meet Hao Ren, the young man was sitting in his car with his eyes looking at the sky from the window. Xiao Mei said, "Yang San is about to execute the plan."
Hao Ren replied, "Continue guiding him, and make sure it looks like a proper accident. Edgar should die and Yang San must be blamed for it."
Xiao Mei replied in affirmative as she guided Yang San, who was driving his truck on the highway heading to the Jade capital. He would be meeting with Edgar Hamil in five minutes. The person on call had been guiding him constantly, even making him adjust his speed.
This shocked and scared him a lot. How was this man keeping such exact track of his movements? He shivered when he thought of Hao Ren saying that he would send someone to deal with him. Yang San cursed, "These fucking rich people. I swear I would never mess with them."
Just when he was thinking about this, Xiao Mei said, "Speed up, the target will be reaching the U-turn in five minutes, turn the steering on my call."
The AI used Edgar's voice throughout the process. Yang San replied, "Yes, sir."
He looked at the right side of the road and he could already see the U-turn, and just when he was about to reach it, Xiao Mei said, "Turn right."
Yang San did not hesitate and followed the command. Then next moment, he turned his steering and the Truck leaned to the right as the momentum shifted. The vehicle rushed through the turn passage, and before he could figure out anything, a loud boom sounded and the cabin trembled from the impact. The windshield cracked and the glass fell outside.
Yang San was wearing his seat belt so he was safe and sound, but the front of his truck, the impact point was twisted. The traffic on the expressway came to an end. Xiao Mei said, "Thank you, you did a good job."
Then the call ended, Yang San was still stunned from the collision, and his body was slightly uncomfortable. He sat in the cabin trying to wake up his numb body when the door was pulled open and Yang San saw a police officer.
The people helped him down the cabin and they began to check the car also.
Xiao Mei said, "Boss, it's done."
Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, "Good job, Xiao Mei."
The Ai did not respond, after a few seconds, Hao Ren sat up in his seat, and he was ready to go back home when the driver window was knocked. He turned to look and found Han Lingshi looking at him with a smile.
In all honesty, Hao Ren did not want to be bothered by anyone. However, he could not hit a smiling face, could he? He nodded to Han Lingshi and lowered the window. He said, "Come in."
Han Lingshi nodded and walked around the car to get in the passenger seat. She noticed the dejectedness in his voice. He was obviously very effected by this whole scene. After sitting inside the car, she placed her hand on the back of his palm and said, "Ren, it will be alright."
Hao Ren looked at her in askance, and the lady said, "Xiao Mei told me what was going on after Leonard Hamil tried to reach out to me. He wanted to drive a wedge between us."
The young man nodded, he did not doubt a word that Han Lingshi just told him, and he replied, "I want to stay alone for a bit, Lingshi. Can you do that?"
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "I will stay silent and won't disturb you. If I leave you alone, then I will be worried and might disturb you."
Hao Ren thought about it and nodded. In reality, he just wanted to stay silent. He said, "I will call Heath to drive your car back home?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "I will do that."
Hao Ren did not say anything after that, he drove back to the apartment. On the way he called his parents and found that they were staying at the neighbor's house. Hao Ren told them to stay home and he would be coming over in the next week.
The elders nodded and agreed to his words. Hao Ren drove slowly, the car was stable, and Han Lingshi could sense that it was because of his mood. Although the problem was countered, the bad taste it left in his mouth won't go away so quickly.
Han Lingshi was still holding the back of his palm. She did not wish to take it away. On the other side, Hao Ren was noticing how silently Han Lingshi was sitting beside him. The struggle was evident on her face. Han Lingshi may appear to be cold but she was very warm hearted for the ones she let in.
Hao Ren sighed, and soon they reached the apartment, Han Lingshi reached the parking space and then they took the elevator to the penthouse. Han Lingshi did not say anything at all.
Hao Ren went straight to the washroom, and began to shower. Han Lingshi sighed and mumbled, 'It's too hard to keep silent when you want to ask so many questions.'
She had many questions, but she was patient and knew that eventually there will be answers. She took out her mobile and called Mrs. Hao. She spoke very softly and talked for a long time, the old lady did not want to have a bad impression of her family before Han Lingshi and thus she did not tell her about the run in with the goons and the crisis they faced earlier.
Han Lingshi also did not want embarrass her so she did not talk about the topic and just tried to ease the lady's mood. Her tricks worked and gradually Mrs. Hao started laughing while reciting Hao Ren's childhood and how he would make trouble.
In the gym, Hao Ren was standing before a punching bag and said, 'System, what is my daily task reward, and feed the wife task reward?'
*Ding: Withdrawing rewards for the accumulated daily task completion and feeding the wife task completion.*
*Ding: Host, you have gained master level comprehension and experience of Jeet Kun Doo, a martial arts that is focus at killing the opponent as quickly as possible. The integration will begin shortly.*
*Ding: Host, for feeding the wife task you are rewarded with the modified recipe of spirit rejuvenation potion. If this potion is consumed by a person who is at the end of his stamina, it will recover ninety percent of their stamina without any side effect within ten minutes.*
Hao Ren thought and putting aside the Potion recipe he asked, "Start integrating the martial skill."
*Ding: Command accepted, commencing integration of data in muscles and brain center.* The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fire.net
The reason Hao Ren was obsessed with getting stronger at this moment was because he wanted to beat the crap out of people with his own hands. The war that lay ahead of him was not small and while the enemy had forces that could fight in light and dark, he only had himself.
The information moved to his mind and muscles making his temperature rise quickly. His muscles condensed and became tougher. Hao Ren closed his eyes as the scenes of fighting flashed in his mind and his aura began to change.
Han Lingshi was sitting in his study, she had just finished talking to Mrs. Hao, and seemed to be thinking of something. She was aware that what happened today was the wake up call for Hao Ren and her. Although they knew that their parents were at risk, but they had never really felt the danger before.
She sighed and mumbled, "Sometimes we have to be cruel in order to save ourselves. Mercy on the enemy is cruelty to oneself."
She took a deep breath and then asked, "Xiao Mei, Edgar Hamil has been confirmed dead?"
The AI replied, "Yes, Mistress. He died on the spot from severe impact to his bones and head. Multiple organ failure."
Han Lingshi nodded, and said, "If the Hamil family tries to investigate, make sure that all the evidence points toward the Ye family's third master, Ye Long."
Xiao Mei asked, "Mistress, anything special about this man?"
Han Lingshi replied, "A few years ago, Edgar Hamil humiliated the Third Master Ye and the latter had threatened him in front of the entire high circle. Since then they had been at logger heads and Third Master Ye was the one who lost some and gained some. He would serve a perfect purpose of a fall guy."
Xiao Mei replied in a few minutes, "Yes, Mistress, it has been arranged."
She manipulated the digital tracks of the calls and the transaction leading back to Ye Long. Han Lingshi then said, "The Hamils are involved in real estate and have many of the projects going on all over the nation. One of the biggest projects they have is the Flare Power Grounds.
I heard a rumor that one of the officials involved in this project took some benefits from them in return for the project contract. Find out who it is and what they got. Then release it on a public domain, make it so that the higher-ups get the scent. They will rip the Hamils apart in shreds."
Xiao Mei said, "Mistress you are even more cunning than Boss. He wants to handle things on his own, and you are using so many people to shoulder the rifle for you."
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "Xiao Mei, if not for you, I would have to arrange things on my own too. Ren is not wrong, he has not been exposed to the business world for too long and he does not have a wide connection of people to get such news that could be used against such people. He will get the gist of it soon. I will take him along to expand his circle."
Hao Ren finished learning the martial arts and opened his eyes. His aura had changed completely. He took a breath and said, "Well, this is good. Xiao Mei, tell me about the Hamil family."
Xiao Mei said, "Boss, Mistress has already arranged to make a move against them for causing you this trouble."
Hao Ren was surprised but then he nodded, and said, "I should go and talk to her."
