When the first rays of light of the morning cut through the night and the sunlight shone through the thin screen of the window, Hao Qiang put down the documents in his hands, closed his sore eyes and rubbed the straight bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger.
When Lei Li, who was sleeping on the table beside him, heard the noise, he woke up from his dream and after realizing it was Hao Qiang, he stretched his body in a relaxed manner.
The two had been discussing how to go to Hong Luo last night. When they got tired, they would sleep on the chairs.
"What time is it?" Hao Qiang asked.
Lei Li took out his phone and looked at it drowsily, "It's after seven."
Hao Qiang nodded. At this moment, a light knock came from the door, as if to make sure they were awake.
"Come in." Hao Qiang replied.
Han Ziyan pushed open the door and entered.
"How is it?" Han Ziyan said.
Hao Qiang nodded his head: "Last night, I discussed with Lei Li and felt that it would be better not to play any tricks with Hong Luo. He is the kind of person that people avoid the most. Although I don't think it's possible at all. "
In the end, Hao Qiang still couldn't help but retort.
Lei Li nodded in agreement.
Han Ziyan agreed after she heard this. "I can help you guys from the outside at that time. It'll be easier to retreat if anything happens."
Thus, the three of them discussed and finally decided to go to the Hong gang's headquarters in Demonic City.
The only characteristic of the Hong Gang's headquarters was its strict security! After Hao Qiang and the others decided on their plan, they hastily ate their breakfast and made simple arrangements before heading towards the Hong Gang headquarters. As for their location, the military's information was detailed, so Hao Qiang and the others traveled unhindered to the outskirts of the northwest region of Demonic City.
Compared to the simple and elegant style of the Hao Residence, the Hong Residence, which was made entirely out of black, was much more serious. Moreover, the Hong Residence occupied the entire mountain, so when they reached the foot of the mountain, Hao Qiang and the others were stopped. Although those people were not arrogant enough to hold a gun, Hao Qiang believed that as long as he could act recklessly here, he would definitely be beaten into a sieve by the snipers hidden in the dark in the next second.
After eliminating all these, the mountain where the Hong residence was located was in the front was a precipitous cliff, and behind was a cliff that was hundreds of thousands of feet high. Under the cliff was a surging river, even if they wanted to act recklessly, they had to consider whether or not they could escape in such a steep place.
Soon, a person who looked like a housekeeper came out and invited Hao Qiang and the others into the Hong family mansion. Hao Qiang and the others were invited to a car, and they drove on the tree-lined road for another ten minutes before an extremely mighty, ironclad gate appeared in front of them.
The defenses here were not any less than that of the military's. Furthermore, the details were even more detailed, and Hao Qiang could at least think of three escape routes in the military. However, in this case, Hao Qiang could only think of one, which was to kidnap Hong Luo.
However, Hao Qiang would never have thought of things to such an extent. Moreover, their purpose in coming here today was not to make things awkward. Moreover, the butler was already in someone else's hands. Hao Qiang did not plan to sacrifice this companion of his.
"Young Sect Master is currently meeting with guests. Please wait a moment, Mister Hao." After leading them to a small living room, the manager lowered his eyes and said politely.
Hao Qiang nodded his head to express his understanding. After that person received his reply, he quietly walked out. After that, someone began to prepare black tea and delicate snacks for Hao Qiang.
This undoubtedly pleased Lei Li greatly. Although he was a man, he didn't hate dessert either. Even when he was bored, he was very happy to enjoy the pleasurable feeling brought by dessert.
When he was at the Hao family's mansion, Hao Qiang already knew that although the Hao family's arrangement looked like it was just for show, in fact, there were many hidden methods. As long as someone who wasn't familiar with the Hao family broke into the mansion, they would be trapped inside, and when they came out again, they might only have half a life left. Thus, before he was familiar with the Hao family's layout, he would absolutely not dare to wander around.
As a longstanding gang, the Hong Gang's new residence was renovated on the basis of their old residence. Hao Qiang believed that in this kind of place, there must be some kind of special shield concealed. The wisdom of the ancients, Hao Qiang would never underestimate them.
Ever since the matter with the Hao family, Hao Qiang had read quite a few ancient books on the Wonder Gate Armor during his free time. Because Hao Qiang didn't have anyone familiar with this obscure ancient book, he had only learned a small part of it.
After all, those who knew too much and were able to understand just a little bit of it were also making a huge breakthrough.
Thus, Hao Qiang was able to quickly see some of the strangeness in the layout of the courtyard. Although he didn't fully understand it, it was still much better than before.
Lei Li who had finished eating his dessert looked at him from outside the window and gave him a strange look. "What are you looking at? There are beauties outside? Let me see. "
As he spoke, he got up and walked over to Hao Qiang's side. Other than the black shadow of the Hong residence's bodyguard, he did not see any other beautiful ladies.
Even Hao Qiang couldn't explain it to him clearly. Ye Zichen rolled his eyes, then walked over to the side of the sofa.
At that moment, the door to the living room was pushed open from the outside. Hao Qiang looked towards that person.
The moment he lifted his head, he saw a pair of pitch black eyes. Although those eyes were young, the ferocity and ruthlessness hidden within them could not be underestimated. The person's lips pursed into an extremely serious expression, but his complexion was sickly pale, making him think that this person would fall down on the spot in the next second.
However, unlike Hao Qiang, the person did not fall down. Instead, he walked in with vigorous strides and stopped before Hao Qiang.
This person was as tall as Hao Qiang, and the two of them stared at each other. Usually, the two of them had strong auras, so when they looked at each other, a vacuum seemed to have formed around them, blocking everyone's view.
From the side, Lei Li felt as if the two of them would start fighting in the next second, silently shrinking their sense of existence.
And this person was the young master of the Hong clan, Hong Luo, who Hao Qiang had never seen or praised before.
"You're Hao Qiang?" After a long while, Hong Luo spoke.
His voice was low and deep, but it was filled with magnetism. It gave people a feeling of relaxation as they listened to the radio host's slow whispering in their ears late at night.
When Hao Qiang saw how straightforward the other party was, he also nodded his head and said, "I am."
"I know what you guys are here for, but it's impossible for me to not say anything." Hong Luo said straightforwardly.
Hao Qiang raised his eyebrows as expected, but a smile still appeared on his face: "Since that's the case, then I ask Young Master Hong to do me a favor and return my men to me."
"What people are you talking about?" Hong Luo asked curiously. He couldn't remember what kind of relationship he had with this Hao Qiang.
"His name is Guan Jia." Hao Qiang reminded.
Hearing this name, Hong Luo's previous indifferent attitude changed, his entire being becoming vigilant.
He didn't know how to hide his emotions. Hao Qiang thought to himself.
"What's your relationship with him?" Hong Luo asked.
"It's not that I have anything to do with him." Hearing Hong Luo's strange question, Hao Qiang replied helplessly, "It's because our family is related to Guan Jia."
Hearing Hao Qiang's words, Hong Luo was stunned, "So you're that Young Master Chang that the Hao family has brought back recently."
Hao Qiang wasn't surprised that he knew about the Hao family, so he nodded his head and said, "That's me."
"Hehe, when I just received this news, I was wondering which unlucky person wanted to receive the Hao family. So it's you." Hong Luo said sarcastically.
When Hao Qiang heard his tone, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have a grudge with my family?"
Hong Luo shook his head.
"Then why are you doing this?" Hao Qiang was slightly unhappy with Hong Luo's strange attitude.
"The Hao family is merely a family that has its feet planted on the ground and is on the verge of decline. How much respect do you want me to show to the Hao family?" Hong Luo looked at Hao Qiang and said, "..." "Of course, if it was a hundred years ago, I might have looked at the Hao family a few more times."
For some unknown reason, Hao Qiang felt that this Hong Luo was deliberately provoking him. As a gang member or someone who had made this gang stronger than before, it was impossible for them to be such an impatient and conceited person. In that case, why was there a need to do this?
Hao Qiang looked at him with a puzzled expression. Unconcealable hesitation could be seen on his face.
Hong Luo looked at his expression and frowned.
"I don't care what Young Master Hong thinks of our Hao family, but Hao Qiang, please return the Guan Jia who is a guest here. I think you should also know that as the butler of our Hao family, Guan Jia shouldn't stay in another family for too long." Hao Qiang said.
"Since you've already said that he will stay at my house as a guest, then it will be up to him to decide whether to stay or to stay. I wonder where Young Master Hao will return the favor?" Hong Luo said.
"Then, may I ask Young Master Hong to call Guan Jia, who is being treated as a guest at an expensive place, over here so that I can personally ask if he wants to go back with me?" Hao Qiang said.
"Guan Jia is a free man. If he wants to come, then come. If he wants to go, then go. It's better to wait for him to come himself. " Hong Luo said.
Seeing that the other party had already made up his mind not to let him go, Hao Qiang felt slightly angry in his heart.
"Since Young Master Hong insisted on saying it in such a manner, I shall say it directly. I don't know how Guan Jia offended Young Master Hong, but he has asked Young Master Hong to keep him imprisoned in your mansion. However, he can still vouch for him."
