Hao Ren and Han Lingshi finished the dinner, while the people were teasing them, the two of them were silently holding hands under the table and watched the people with smiles on their faces. The two of them had a simple thought, "It will pass."
The two people had been very patient and they knew that their families were sarcastic to the point that could make the target cry.
Hao Ren brought his parents home, and Mrs. Hao, Tang Zen said, "After this week, ask Lingshi to come along and visit Mei. It is necessary she knows the real us."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Go to bed, I have some work. I will see you later."
The young man then went to his study and took out his phone before placing it on the table, and he said, "Xiao Mei, contact Attorney Leigh."
Xiao Mei initiated a call, and the person answered quickly. Hao Ren greeted the person first, "Good Evening Attorney Leigh. I apologize for disturbing you at this hour, but the situation is urgent and I needed your advice."
Attorney Leigh smiled and replied, "President Hao, you do not have to worry much about disturbing me. Every evening is the same. Please tell me what can I do for you."
Hao Ren nodded as he asked, "Thunder Technologies will be expanding the business domain to Thunder Real Estate, I wonder if you are aware of it?"
Leigh replied, "I received a message from the directors that you intend to do so. They also consulted me on the legal matters of this subject."
Hao Ren remarked, "That is good, as a citizen of the Jade Capital and the person who has seen a lot of hustle here, I am sure, you must be aware about the biggest real estate tycoon of the nation?"
Leigh nodded in understanding, and said, "Sir, I can sense that the nature of our conversation is a bit sensitive, should I come over to your office?"
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I will come to yours, if you do not mind that."
Leigh smiled like a buddha statue and said, "I would be honored."
Hao Ren then told him to wait and disconnected the call. He changed into a set of casual clothes and picked up the keys to his car, before he informed his parents and left home while they were still in daze.
The young man came down and found Heath getting off the car with a couple of men. Hao Ren had an eidetic memory, and knew that these people were present in the lobby this morning. Hao Ren nodded to them and Heath said, "Young Master, Chief Deng had agreed to your conditions, what shall we do now?"
Hao Ren stopped and said, "You can bring everyone to the office in the morning, I will have the HR department sign the contract and agreement with you guys, and also issue the identity cards."
Heath nodded and bowed before he asked, "Thank you, Sir. Do you need us to escort you?"
Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "No, I will be fine, I am just going out for some work."
Heath nodded and then he and the rest of the people watched as Hao Ren left the parking lot. One of the men asked, "Brother, why do you revere him so much? He looks like a normal kid to me."
Heath shook his head and replied, "There is nothing normal about him, and you will understand it in the future. He hides himself like an iceberg under the water. You can ask the Chief about how his meeting went this morning."
That said, he entered the elevator with the other three following him.
Hao Ren drove his car through the streets and came to the office of the law firm where Leigh was a partner. He parked his car next to the parking meter and paid for a few hours, he did not mind if he paid extra. Just as he went through the front door, he saw a bunch of people standing around a young girl.
She appeared to be as old as himself, but shrugging it off, Hao Ren came to the front desk and asked, "Can I see Attorney Leigh?"
The receptionist looked at Hao Ren and then said, "Sir, your name?"
Hao Ren reported his name, when a shrill crashing sound echoed in the reception room. He turned around to look and found that five people were making a mess of the place. The young girl standing amidst them was pale and she was shivering from fear.
One of the men pointed a butterfly knife in her direction and spoke in a loud voice, "Were you not very brave in the courtroom that you will see that my brother ends up with life imprisonment? Now, why are you shivering Miss Delta Dickens?"
The guards tried to come close but the henchmen subdued them with ease. Hao Ren furrowed his brows, the receptionist was about to press the silent alarm when one of the goons rushed towards the counter and jumped over the counter, to put the knife against her neck. The receptionist froze and the goon laughed, "Hehehehe, Danny, she was about to alert the police."
Danny was the guy who was standing before the girl called Delta. He glared coldly at the receptionist, at this hour there were not many clients in the building. Then Danny saw Hao Ren and said, "Milo, have this guy sit in the corner, his pretty face is annoying me."
Hao Ren watched a goon chuckling and walking towards him. The two guards had been subdued, and they only needed two men to handle that. Milo approached Hao Ren and said, "Pretty boy, how about I leave a scar on your face and your face and make you look manly? What do you say?"
Hao Ren looked at the knife in his hand, and suddenly he stepped up and slapped the guy hard across his face.
The slap echoed in the room. Milo could not even react before he fell to the ground, and Hao Ren took his knife and flung it at the guy behind the receptionist.
The knife stabbed the guy accurately in forearm, assassin skills were in action. The man wailed in pain and Hao Ren jumped over the counter to land a perfect kick on the opponent's forehead which knocked him out cold.
Then he picked up a round crystal-like paper weight and flung it at the leader of the goons Danny. The latter was dashing at Delta to stab her, but the paper weight hit his wrist hard and a crack echoed throughout the reception area followed by a wail. Before Danny could even turn his head to look Hao Ren, the latter appeared before him and a straight chop of his palm hit Danny back in the neck.
The latter was stunned and then knocked out. The two people who were pinning the guards down were shocked to their core. Hao Ren cast his cold gaze upon the two people and said, "Are you going to surrender on your own or do you want me to come there?"
The guards regained their courage and with a grunt, they managed to shake off the two goons on their backs and pinned them down. The entire reception area had frozen up. Hao Ren took out his phone and dialed the emergency number.
A few minutes later, even the management of the law firm had rushed down, Hao Ren told the people to tie something on the arm of the goon he stabbed to prevent him from losing blood.
Hao Ren sat in the reception lobby and waited for the police and Mister Leigh to come over. The receptionist explained the situation to the people from the management and they quickly came to attend to Delta.
Suddenly, Hao Ren heard a familiar voice, "Mister Hao."
Hao Ren looked to the side and found Mister Leigh coming toward him sitting in a n electric wheel chair. The young man was surprised but he recollected himself quickly and stood up to greet the man.
The two people shook their hands and Leigh said, "Thank you for your help in this critical situation, Mister Hao. I cannot express how much your effort means to us."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I did what anyone with capability should have done. Let us not make it a big deal."
Attorney Leigh smiled and said, "You are very modest, Chairman Hao."
The man offered Hao Ren a seat and asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Hao Ren said, "I have a few video clips that were recorded from the Hamil Real Estate projects. I would like you to analyze these footages and then file a PIL against Hamil Real Estate."
Leigh asked, "It can be done, I know that the Hamil's use their influence to get away with the protocol disobedience."
The young man shook his head and said, "I do not want them to pay fines only. What makes you think that it is only the construction protocols they avoid? I want them to stop working for a period of time no matter how long it is for."
Leigh was surprised and asked in a hushed tone, "You mean to say a proper official enquiry? They get away with it all the time."
Hao Ren said, "I will give you the evidence against the officials involved in this enquiry to ensure a fair investigation."
Leigh was surprised, and wanted to discuss more, when the police officers came in, they asked, "Who called the police?"
Hao Ren stepped up and said, "Officer, I did."
The officer then asked him, "Can you tell me what happened here?" Googlᴇ search novel{f}ire.net
The other officer left to make arrests. There were three teams of cops, two each, and they made extensive investigation. Hao Ren cooperated completely and the cops left after an hour.
Hao Ren sighed, and then Delta came forward to thank him. The young man shook it off, and left the office after giving Leigh the footage on his mobile. What he did not know was the fact that someone was watching him from inside the lobby.
As soon as Hao Ren left, this man made a call and then said, "Boss..."
Hao Ren had nothing to do, and so he decided to go for a joy-ride. Han Lingshi was busy with the buzz at home, and so, he had some free time on his hand.
Hao Ren drove around the city for half an hour before he said, "Xiao Mei, get in the road traffic association database, and find me the details of the person who owns the vehicle following us."
Xiao Mei replied, "Boss, can I say that I feel excited by these sneaky moves we make some times?"
Hao Ren focused on driving and replied, "You sound more of a psychopath than me at times, Xiao Mei."
Xiao Mei let out a chuckling sound from the phone speaker and said, "I take after you, Boss. Also, the guy is called Steyn, he is a goon in the Jade Python gang."
Hao Ren raised his brow and Xiao Mei said, "He has done time for kidnapping, assault, grand theft auto and the vehicle he is driving is a stolen property."
The young man asked, "How about we fight crime for the night?"
Xiao Mei exclaimed, "Oh my, I have a poem for it."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Go ahead."
Xiao Mei replied, "Once an author called Chasing Dream said, 'In the dead of the night the devil dances as charity for the sinners. In the wake of the morning the angels dances as charity for the givers.' These two phrases are called the Charity Ball of Angels and Demons."
Hao Ren replies, "It is a bit vague, no?"
Xiao Mei replied, "We all know who is vague, now tell me what to do?"
