Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Qin Ruan sets off, initiating level one emergency measures

In response to Song Banxian’s well-meaning warning, Huang Biao sneered, "Even if a young girl has some ability, can she really turn the world upside down?"

He hadn’t spent all those years for nothing, manipulating a girl should be easy for him.

At these words, Song Banxian’s face turned cold: "Mr. Huang, I am afraid your mouth will be your downfall one day. You should know not to judge a book by its cover. Despite her young age, even I have to respect her!"

Huang Biao was someone who responded more to tough treatment than soft. When people were soft with him, he would get tough, but if they hardened their approach, his heart would waver.

"Enough, I’ll see you off here, Mr. Huang. We should not meet again!"

Song Banxian sent the man away, more than ten meters from his stall, before he turned back.

Huang Mao muttered under his breath: "What an arrogant jerk, just a conman peddling at Tianqiao! Boss, should I have the boys wreck his stall and kidnap that girl for you?"

"Slap!"

Before Huang Mao could finish his words, Huang Biao slapped him on the head.

"Have you lost your mind? Song Banxian is renowned for his foresight around here, I came to him precisely to scout him out. He has some abilities, don’t cause unnecessary trouble!"

Huang Mao looked wronged: "Why didn’t you say so earlier, I thought he was just a conman."

"If he were a conman, how could he have known that I was set up today!"

Huang Biao gave him another slap, turned and walked away, his silhouette looking somewhat decadent.

After so many years, it seemed he was ready to retire.

He had made enough money over the years, enough for him to squander for the rest of his life.

His hands were stained with blood one way or another, but despite this, he had never committed heinous crimes such as murder or arson.

It was time to retire and enjoy the fruits of his labour.

The four of them walked back the way they had come. As they passed a small alley, a figure suddenly rushed out.

The attacker was well-prepared. He knocked out the two strong men by Huang Biao’s side first, then turned and brutally beat Huang Biao up.

Huang Mao was shocked by this sudden development. Hearing Huang Biao’s cries of pain, he quickly regained his senses, looking around and picking up a stick from the corner to save his boss.

He raised the stick and swung it hard at the man who was beating Huang Biao.

The man beating Huang Biao somehow dodged the blow as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

He stretched out his long leg and kicked Huang Biao, who was on the ground covering his head, several meters away.

Huang Mao disregarded his boss, still waving his stick and attacking the man once again.

Under the dim light, it was hard to see the man’s face.

As Huang Mao rushed up, the man stretched out his long leg and knocked Huang Mao to the ground with a kick.

In the dim alley, the sound of dull blows and whimpers of pain echoed. The fluctuating noises startled passers-by, who thought it was haunted and hurried away.

After a few minutes, a tall man dressed in black emerged from the alley.

He stood at the entrance of the alley, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped off the specks of blood on his hand.

The man looked towards Qin Ruan’s stall with sharp eyes, withdrew his gaze after a brief glance.

He walked over to the barbecue stall not far from Qin Ruan’s stall.

Huo Chuan, who was enjoying his food, saw the shadow falling in front of him. He looked up with a fish skewer in his mouth, and saw Lin Hao’s cold and handsome face.

Huo Chuan raised an eyebrow, smiling as he asked, "Done?"

"Yeah."

Lin Hao responded with a simple nod, sitting down across from Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan glanced at the distant alleyway, after watching the place for a while without any movement, he asked Lin Hao, "No casualties, I hope?"

The other party was not a member of the Huo Family after all. They had never collaborated, hence he retained some skepticism about the degree of force used by Lin Hao.

Lin Hao sneered, "He won’t die, but a bone and muscle injury takes a hundred days to heal."

"That’s good!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Chuan was relieved and continued to eat the skewer in his hand.

Lin Hao picked up a beer from the table, which had been chilled, and his hand was dampened by the condensation on the bottle.

As if he didn’t feel the wetness in his hand, he brought the bottle directly to his mouth, gulping down the beer.

Huo Chuan sat opposite him, seeing him drink so freely, and an envious look appeared in his eyes.

He had to drive to take the Madam home later, and if the Master found out he had been drinking, he could be severely punished.

Seeing his envious look, Lin Hao drank even more vigorously, making satisfied noises as he drank.

Huo Chuan stared at him, his expression particularly distressed: "I get it, stop teasing me, I don’t even remember the last time I drank."

Lin Hao teased him: "Is the Huo family so inconsiderate? They don’t even let you drink?"

Huo Chuan shook his head: "The masters don’t stop us from drinking, but ever since the Madam moved in, these past few months haven’t been easy, I have to be completely sober when I’m near the master."

Lin Hao gave a sarcastic smile: "That’s quite the rule."

Huo Chuan was not amused by his comment: "What about it, you can drink freely in the Su family?"

Mention of the Su family made Lin Hao look annoyed: "No one cares."

That woman Su Jingshu would only remember him when she was lonely and otherwise let him do as he wished.

Just thinking of that woman, Lin Hao’s face darkened like charcoal.

Huo Chuan did not notice his changing emotions. Instead, he straightened his face, seriously advising:"The Huo family is different from the Su family, you will be accompanying the Madam in the future, be careful with your words and actions.

Enjoy today because from tomorrow you will have to be like me, when with the master, certain mistakes must not be made, the consequences are beyond your imagination."

"So many damned rules!"

Lin Hao was eating meat and drinking heavily, appearing nonchalant, but he had already taken Huo Chuan’s words to heart.

The Huo family was his refuge, it would be wise for him to behave.

The two sat at the barbecue stall, eating while keeping a close eye on Qin Ruan’s safety.

They had seen Huang Biao’s previous harassment of the Madam, hence Lin Hao stepped in to teach him a lesson.

Lin Hao threw the skewer stick on the table after eating, gazing at Qin Ruan’s stall, his eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension: "Tell me why Qin...the young Madam has set up a stall, does the third master know about this?"

Without lifting his head, Huo Chuan replied, "This is the first time that the Madam has set up a stall in the past few months, and even the third master only found out what she was doing tonight."

Lin Hao deduced that like them, the third master Huo only found out that Qin Ruan had set up a stall tonight.

He stared at Huo Chuan, a frown on his face, "Did you tell the third master?"

"Yes," Huo Chuan’s reply was incredibly candid.

Noticing Lin Hao’s disapproving stare, Huo Chuan looked up at him with a slightly mocking smile, "What? Just because you used to know the Madam, doesn’t mean you get to dictate things."

Lin Hao frowned, "Does the Madam know that the third master sent people to monitor her?"

"How is that surveillance? I just reported the Madam’s itinerary to the third master and asked the hidden department of the Huo family to stand by. They will take action immediately if there’s any danger to the Madam."

Lin Hao scoffed, disagreeing, "That sounds nice, but it’s still surveillance."

Huo Chuan looked helpless, smiled, and shook his head, "You clearly haven’t had access to the core internal affairs at the Su family. In Capital City, the itinerary of the master of any of the four great families or six aristocratic families isn’t a secret to their own family. Every trip they make carries unknown dangers.

Even if Su Jingshu came to the Huo family today, how many of the Su family’s bodyguards are around the Huo family? She is now the most influential person in the Su family, and the entire Su family revolves around her.

The young Madam is now the most important person in the Huo family. Every time she goes out, it triggers a level one emergency response, even the old patriarch doesn’t have this kind of treatment."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao blinked, looking surprised.
