Chapter 600: Chapter 599 "Where are there 9 stars in broad daylight?

"Okay, thank you for your efforts," Bill Bragg was still quite satisfied with their speed. He smiled and nodded slightly, his demeanor as calm and untroubled as if the recent events hadn’t affected him at all. Picking a car at random, he said, "I’ll ride in this one for the next few days. I’ve heard that my luck isn’t very good today, so I’d like to be on the safe side."

"No way," the bodyguard shook his head: "Those are just tricks to deceive people; your luck has always been good, young master. Especially under our protection, not even a fly could get close to you!"

"That’s good to hear," Bill Bragg was very affirmative of the head bodyguard’s actions, "Now I won’t have any more concerns about safety."

Everybody then got ready to get into the vehicle.

Despite a minor hiccup, Bill Bragg came out without a scratch, which really felt to Zhao Zhenhao and the others like hitting cotton with all their might.

"This Wang Hao is truly formidable," Zhao Zhenhao shook his head, "His preparations are very thorough, practically impregnable."

Fang Wenbin said, "Right, one moment the tire bursts and the next, there are a bunch of bodyguards at hand. Even bad luck can be easily countered. It’s not like someone is going to carry a bomb just to target him in our country, right?" Fang Wenbin was actually quite frustrated as he said this. He was almost certain that with these professional-level bodyguards, even a terrorist attack in the city wouldn’t harm Bill Bragg in the slightest.

For a moment, they all felt somewhat powerless.

There was no helping it; the opponent was simply too strong. It was very difficult to wish bad luck on such a person who was watertight...

"Mr. Wang Hao," Bill now looked at Wang Hao, and although he was very dismissive of what Wang Hao had said, he still asked another question: "You said my luck is not good today, I wonder, according to astrology, just how do you figure that?"

"Well," Wang Hao pretended to calculate by counting on his fingers, "Your Nine Stars are dim today, and the sinister stars glitter, surely indicating an impending disaster. Let’s not talk about this anymore. I suspect you wouldn’t believe it anyway, so let’s get going."

"Nine Stars dim and sinister stars glitter?" Bill Bragg looked up at the sun in the sky and smiled slightly: "How are there any Nine Stars in broad daylight?"

He shook his head and got into the car.

What else can one say? With bodyguards escorting, the Night Hawk drone patrolling the skies, there’s no chance for any stir of leaves or grass to escape the security team’s eyes.

Indeed, the whole journey proceeded without incident or misfortune.

"Missed me during this long absence?" At this point on the ride, there were only Wang Hao and Bai Yaning in the car, making conversation much easier. Wang Hao, while driving, said: "I’ve missed you so much I’ve lost sleep!"

"You always know how to sweet-talk," Bai Yaning shook her head, "I’ve been busy every day over there; I didn’t have time to think so much. It’s only the last couple of days before returning that I’ve had a chance to rest. I was planning to buy some gifts to bring back for you, but I didn’t know what you would like, so I just brought a bit of everything, you’ll have to come by and pick them up when you have time."

Wow! My Ice Princess bought me gifts! Oh my, how can I even accept this?

"What did you buy?" Wang Hao’s eyes widened instantly, he asked: "Something to eat or to use?"

"Mainly to use, I suppose," Bai Yaning thought for a moment, then said: "I bought three boxes of clothes, two boxes of shoes; I’ve never seen you wear a tie, so I only bought ten. Belts should be more useful; I didn’t know which to buy, so I got about twenty or so. Whichever you like, you can use."

Wang Hao: "..."

So moved, I’m almost in tears! Where else can one find such a wife?!

"You bought so much!" Wang Hao felt a bit embarrassed, his face turning red: "I’m overwhelmed!"

"It’s nothing really," Bai Yaning smiled, "I’m a Libra, with a natural indecision, always feeling like everything is good, so I just bought it all without wanting to stress over decisions."

Talking about it, Wang Hao did remember that Bai Yaning was a Libra. Typically, Libras do struggle with decisions, swinging back and forth, unsure of which is better.

But fortunately, our Ice Princess has money, a lot of money, so there’s no real indecision; just buy everything...

"Even so, that might be a bit too much," Wang Hao remarked, "I still can’t compare to you. So, this time, I’ve only prepared one gift for you."

"Really?" Bai Yaning’s eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this: "You really prepared a gift for me? Where is it? Quickly show me."

No matter what, Bai Yaning had admitted that Wang Hao was her boyfriend.

Given her personality, her acknowledgment of her relationship with Wang Hao was truly generous. Even when her father, the Bai family head, Bai Haochen, asked about it, she said the same thing.

Fortunately, Bai Haochen was a very open-minded person. He didn’t have too much opposition to their relationship, but he just reminded her to protect herself from being bullied.

Therefore, often when a woman feels that she has someone in her heart, she will easily let emotions prevail over reason, even if at the moment Wang Hao only gave her a pull-tab ring as a gift, she would still cherish it as the best present.

After all, there was no shortage of money, right?

"This," Wang Hao decisively played the mysterious card, "you’ll see when we get to the hotel, hehe."

"You’re so annoying," Bai Yaning turned her head away, "giving me a teaser."

Then there was silence for a while, and at that moment the music playing in the car was Bai Yaning’s song "Bubble". Both of them listened while driving, and really, it added a special flavor to the situation!

"By the way, aren’t you going to ask me what this whole Bill Bragg thing is about?" Bai Yaning, being a young woman after all, broke the silence, "Aren’t you the least bit curious?"

"What’s there to be curious about?" Wang Hao looked totally clueless, "Isn’t it just that he likes you and then came over here to challenge me, planning to steal you away?"

"Well," Bai Yaning thought for a moment before asking, "you’re not mad at me?"

"Why should I be mad at you?" Wang Hao was even more puzzled, glancing over at Bai Yaning before continuing to drive. "It’s not your fault that he likes you. Who wouldn’t fall for our sweetheart, who is so beautiful and outstanding? You declared in front of so many people that I am your boyfriend, your stance so firm that I am already very happy. Besides, as your boyfriend, it’s my duty to openly and fairly defeat any challengers. It’s just part of the job."

Hearing Wang Hao’s words made Bai Yaning suddenly purse her lips in a smile.

Although it sounded simple, having a boyfriend with such responsibility was naturally something that would make any woman happy.

The only downside seemed to be that nothing unexpected happened on this trip, which wasn’t very thrilling!

Soon, they arrived at one of the most luxurious super five-star hotels in Zhonghai City that had already been booked—the Jingan Hilton Hotel.

A convoy of more than a dozen cars entered the hotel plaza, where hotel staff greeted them with great respect and opened the car doors for them.

The Zhonghai Hilton Hotel was located in the bustling Jingan Temple commercial area, adjacent to the commercial streets of Nanjing West Road and Huaihai Road, just an 8-minute walk from Jingan Temple Station of Metro Lines 2 and 7. It was a mere 20-minute drive to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and 35 kilometers from Shanghai Disneyland.

The hotel offered 714 comfortable and elegant guest rooms starting from 33 square meters, all with bright floor-to-ceiling windows, minibars, fully equipped work areas, and high-speed internet access.

The presidential suites were obviously on another level, with practically all living and office equipment available, ensuring that guests wouldn’t feel any inconvenience during their stay.

The fitness center on the fourth floor was equipped with cardio and strength training equipment. Guests could also participate in various classes in the aerobics room or train in the boxing area. The indoor swimming pool had a constant comfortable temperature, and the outdoor tennis court featured fences and professional lighting, while the indoor squash court was equipped with a professional front wall, rear glass wall, and flooring system.

Especially the hotel’s interim restaurants and bars covered a wide range of domestic and international flavors: The Waterfront restaurant was helmed by a Ningbo chef known for fresh seafood and unique flavors in Shanghai. The Heavenly Terrace served international cuisine around the clock, available buffet-style or à la carte. The Nine Stars Floor on the 39th floor prepared authentic Sichuan cuisine with spices flown in from Chengdu, offering a view overlooking the city. Leonardo’s Restaurant specialized in classic Italian style. The Jingan Lounge served various drinks and snacks, equipped with charging ports, making it an excellent place for leisure and meetings. Bar Thirty-Nine, with its New York retro style, offered a range of cocktails and whiskeys, complemented by live band performances.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that staying here equated to living in luxury. Bill Bragg had his butler assess all the super five-star hotels in Zhonghai before coming, and the old butler’s choice of this location spoke volumes.

"Young Master, please." The head of the security team got out of the car first, holding a drone surveillance device, checking as he said, "So far, I can assure you that within a one-kilometer radius, there are no security issues, and you can rest easy."

"Very good." Bill Bragg adjusted his clothes with a look of satisfaction, then glanced around and said, "I’m quite pleased with the environment here. It seems that the development of the Heavenly People’s Republic has been quite rapid in recent years; everything here is a bit of a surprise to me." After pondering for a moment, Bill Bragg looked at Wang Hao and said with a smile, "Esotericism is often not very reliable. For instance, given my current security measures, I’m really curious about what unfortunate event could possibly happen."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao just shrugged, "Well, as for that, how would I know what the heavens have in store?"
