Jiang Chenhu's face changed color as he stared at Qin Hao, his expression ashen, "What have you done to them?"
"Killed them."
Qin Hao indifferently uttered the two words.
Jiang Chenhu's other subordinates immediately crouched in front of the two men, checking their breathing. Indeed, the two gunmen were already breathless.
"Next, you are going to die as well." Qin Hao's calm eyes stared at Jiang Chenhu, sending shivers down his spine.
"You can't kill me." A pang of fear raced through Jiang Chenhu's heart. He realized the dire situation he was in, this man in front of him was too frightening, completely immune to firearms.
"Why not? Give me a reason." Qin Hao's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Reasons, Jiang Chenhu racked his brain. He thought of Qin Hao's actions at the engagement party, and suddenly he had an idea, "Money, I can give you money, I'll give you five million, just don't kill me."
"Ten million." Qin Hao stated a number.
Jiang Chenhu gasped in response, thinking Qin Hao was asking for the moon.
However, when he caught sight of Qin Hao's icy stare, Jiang Chenhu dared not speak.
"I can't transfer the money now, ten million isn't a small amount, it needs to be handled at the counter. Let me go, and I'll transfer it to you tomorrow." Jiang Chenhu said this, then watched Qin Hao closely. He was testing the waters—if Qin Hao really let him go, he definitely wouldn't transfer the money and would instead seek an even harsher revenge.
But, Jiang Chenhu felt that, if it were him, he definitely wouldn't agree.
"Okay."
To his surprise, Qin Hao agreed to let Jiang Chenhu go.
Before Jiang Chenhu could feel relieved, a silver needle landed directly at his heart, piercing through.
Jiang Chenhu only felt a slight pain in his heart, then his whole body's strength seemed to vanish by half, which made his face instantly turn ugly.
"Nobody but me can remove this silver needle. If you move it, you are sure to die. You have three days to transfer the money to me. If I receive the payment within three days, I will remove the needle for you, otherwise, you can wait for death," Qin Hao said casually, sending a chill down Jiang Chenhu's spine.
He finally understood why Qin Hao would let him go; with this maneuver, he was not worried about Jiang Chenhu betraying him, unless Jiang Chenhu valued ten million more than his life.
"I understand, the money will be there tomorrow." The look on Jiang Chenhu's face was grim as he struggled to stand, preparing to leave the place.
"Take these two with you." Qin Hao gestured towards the two men lying on the ground.
Jiang Chenhu waved his hand, and his two subordinates took the bodies and left.
"Just a reminder, don't even think about removing the needle. I assure you, if you touch that needle, you will definitely die." Qin Hao kindly reminded him, not really concerned about Jiang Chenhu's well-being but worried about his ten million.
Jiang Chenhu's face was grave as they exited the villa.
Qin Hao touched his nose, feeling somewhat annoyed. He looked in a certain direction of the room and sighed, "Since you're here, why hide? Are you even scared of me, Mu Dan?"
"You're a little pervert, of course I'm scared of you, giggle." Along with a pleasant female voice, a woman appeared. She was dressed in a white long dress, her long hair casually pinned up, and her features were exquisitely beautiful. Although she appeared casual, she exuded an aura of regal elegance.
Mu Dan, a symbol of opulence in flowers, indeed a name befitting her persona.
"Bai Mudan is joking, tell me, what do you want from me? But let me clarify, I haven't been involved in that sort of business for a long time." Qin Hao touched his nose, ever since he had been entangled with this woman, he had always felt a headache.
The woman was the notoriously ruthless Bai Mudan, but she was all smiles and coquetry towards him, and her goal was very simple, to draw Qin Hao into their ranks.
Bai Mudan, ranked tenth among world assassins, was definitely a name that struck fear into people.
Qin Hao merely felt a headache, he had enough confidence to face Bai Mudan.
"Don't you like me? If you stick with me, I can give you anything," Bai Mudan paused slightly, then added somewhat shyly, "including myself."
Her demure and timid demeanor made Qin Hao's heart skip a beat.
In terms of beauty and allure, Bai Mudan was in no way inferior to Xia Mengchan.
Bai Mudan usually teased Qin Hao like this, making it hard for him to resist.
But this time was different, Qin Hao wore a smile on his face, he approached Bai Mudan, and to her surprised eyes, he hugged her slender waist, that delicate and tender feeling made his heart sway.
"Since that's the case, I will accept elder sister first, come on, give me a kiss." Qin Hao leaned in to kiss Bai Mudan on the lips.
Bai Mudan then came to her senses, her face blushing, she pushed Qin Hao away and retreated to a safe distance, her breath somewhat erratic, she gave Qin Hao a resentful look and said softly, "Little brother has turned bad."
"A bad boy is what a girl loves, didn't elder sister want to give herself to me? I have agreed," Qin Hao pressed on, this was the first time he had the upper hand in an encounter with Bai Mudan, and Qin Hao was quite pleased.
Bai Mudan gracefully retreated, she glanced at Qin Hao and then jumped directly out of the window.
"My sister is coming to Baihai City, you better watch out," Bai Mudan's voice came through, instantly causing Qin Hao's smiling face to stiffen.
That witch is also coming to Baihai City? Qin Hao swallowed nervously, hoping she wasn't coming for him.
"Mr. Xia, Jiang Chenhu took people to mess with Qin Hao, but they didn't manage to harm Qin Hao, and instead, they lost two of their own. Jiang Chenhu seems like he contracted a serious illness."
A middle-aged man stood in front of Xia Mengchan and reported.
"I see, you may leave," Xia Mengchan nodded, yet a hint of glee flickered deep in her eyes.
She truly made the right bet, although she didn't know Qin Hao's exact background, just from his current performance, he qualified to be her man and hold up the sky for her.
"Mysterious man, just what kind of person are you? If that girl hadn't forbidden me from investigating your background, I probably would have already lost my patience," Xia Mengchan looked at the document in front of her, but her eyes were unfocused, contemplating everything about Qin Hao.
Qin Hao naturally was unaware of this, dinner time had arrived, and he prepared to go out to eat.
As for cooking, Qin Hao didn't consider it, he simply couldn't cook.
He had just shut the door when he heard a wailing sound, a bit familiar, filled with sorrow.
"Mr. Gu."
Qin Hao's heart stirred slightly, he recognized the owner of the voice, which surprised him, he hadn't expected to live in the same compound as Gu Xueqi.
Driven by curiosity, he walked towards the neighboring villa, ready to see what had happened.
