Yin Ning reached out to grab Hao Qiang's hand, revealing a gentle smile. "But I feel that ever since I lost my superpower, I've changed a lot. Have you noticed that I'm a lot happier and more open-minded than I used to be? "There are a lot of things that I couldn't figure out in the past, but now I can easily think them through. I can also accomplish things that I didn't do in the past without any considerations."
"But it has nothing to do with superpowers, you don't have to do with that." Hao Qiang said.
However, Yin Ning shook her head, "No, it's of great concern. Just listen to me out."
Hao Qiang looked at her silently.
"This isn't something as simple as losing my Discipline. I feel like this is a chance for me to evolve." In my life before I had superpowers, I was just an assassin trained by [Ghost Domain]. In that place, I had no freedom, no friends, no family, and I couldn't even control my emotions. "But in my life after losing my Discipline, I felt as if I'd been given a chance to be reborn."
Yin Ning looked at Hao Qiang, her eyes brimming with a joy that Hao Qiang had never seen before. That gaze was so beautiful and captivating that when Hao Qiang looked directly into those eyes, he couldn't help but sink into them.
Within those eyes, there was helplessness towards the past and joy at his rebirth. Those black pupils involuntarily attracted Hao Qiang's attention.
"In this life, I can laugh and cry. Not only can I have my own emotions, I can also truly realize my dreams. "Most importantly, I also have a group of friends like you, and all of you are the people who treat me the best I've met so far. Not only do you not care about what I've done before, you even helped me in every possible way. As she spoke, Yin Ning quietly looked at Hao Qiang.
"Just friends?" Looking at that pair of serious eyes, Hao Qiang couldn't help but say.
Hearing Hao Qiang's words, Yin Ning was stunned. She looked at him in disbelief.
Only after saying that did Hao Qiang realize what he had said. He really wanted to slap his own big ears.
"Well, I mean, are you just treating us as friends? I see you as my family. " Seeing the disbelief in the other's eyes, Hao Qiang hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
Hearing Hao Qiang's words, a trace of undetectable disappointment appeared in Yin Ning's eyes. However, in the end, she still revealed a happy smile, "Me too."
Hao Qiang smiled awkwardly, "Since that's the case, then my family will send you to have a good rest. Getting too late to sleep will not be good for your health."
Knowing that the other party was feeling awkward, Yin Ning did not stay any longer. She said 'good night' and returned to her room.
After seeing Yin Ning disappear around the corner, Hao Qiang heaved a sigh of relief.
He really didn't know what he had been thinking to actually ask such a question. Under the relationship between the two of them, these words would undoubtedly return the two who had a slightly normal relationship back to an awkward state.
However, this night was destined to be a sleepless night.
When Lei Li found out about Hao Qiang's brainless behavior, he screamed even louder and almost flipped the roof.
"Do you know what you're talking about? Just agree to that sort of thing. Who was the other party? It's the three great families as well as the recently flourishing Hong Gang. You actually dare to say such words like the clams are in conflict and the fish are reaping the benefits? When the time comes, you will definitely be the first one to be killed, do you believe me? "
Hao Qiang painfully covered his ears, his eardrums were about to burst from Lei Li's roar. Before becoming a fly that was slapped to death, he didn't want to be half crippled by his own people.
"You still dare to cover your ears? Hao Qiang, let me tell you. Do you know why we are still here talking about dream-like things? It's precisely because we're loud and loud right now and the rain is light that Yuwen Mu doesn't put us in his eyes and gave us the opportunity to do something in the dark! "
"I know, I know." Hao Qiang hurriedly interrupted.
"You know?" On the other hand, Lei Li appeared to be unable to control his emotions more and more, "Since you know that you're still spouting nonsense on behalf of Deputy Liang … If this matter were to spread, the three aristocratic families and the Hong clan would already be enough to deal with him. Would he still be able to suppress him to the point where he would never have the chance to turn the situation around? "Even if you have the backing of the Hao family, you can forget about appearing in public. The moment you go out, countless people will want your life. Do you believe me?"
"I believe you, I believe you." Hao Qiang felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he was still unable to refute him.
Seeing Hao Qiang being enlightened, Lei Li's mood finally calmed down a little, "Go and discuss this with the military. We can't do this."
When Hao Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but retort, "What do you mean, I can't do it. You have to believe that there's nothing in this world that I, Hao Qiang, wouldn't dare to do!"
When Lei Li heard this, his blood pressure that had just dropped rapidly rose again, "So from what I just said, you didn't listen to a single word I said?"
Hao Qiang shrunk his neck back and said, "I just think that you're getting more and more cowardly."
Lei Li was stunned.
"You wouldn't have said that in the past." Hao Qiang said.
Lei Li lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said, "It's probably because of the [Dynasty] in the past, so you seem to be very confident in whatever you do. But now …" "I'm more concerned about him now."
Hao Qiang, of course, understood the meaning behind his words, and revealed a confident smile, "It's precisely because I'm worried about you that I want to improve my strength step by step. I can't rely on the Hao family's protection to survive forever, as I'm just a parasite of the Hao family. "Don't be afraid, who am I? I am Hao Qiang! When faced with a strong person, I am Hao Qiang!"
Seeing Hao Qiang's confident smile, Lei Li's thoughts went back to the time when Hao Qiang really killed the first person. At that time, he was still just a child that had just matured. Even though he was scared to death, he still patted his shoulder and told Hao Qiang loudly with a grin on his face … Don't be afraid, who am I?
It was probably at that time that she made up her mind to always stand by his side and follow him. Even when the two of them were at their best, he did not give up on them and firmly believed that one day, he would regain his former glory.
"I know you are Hao Qiang, so I have never doubted my ability either. "However, the other party is not someone we can deal with right now. You have to measure your capabilities." In the end, Lei Li was still worried.
Hao Qiang gave him a look of relief, "Don't worry, I know what to do. I have to go to the military headquarters in the afternoon, so I'll have to trouble you to help me collect information about the three families. "
"Got it." Lei Li rolled his eyes at the other party.
"Hao Qiang, are you going to the military headquarters again this afternoon?" Hearing Hao Qiang's words, Qi Mengxi, who was tidying up the room, revealed a worried expression.
After all, it was better to not go to the military headquarters. If one day they found out something they shouldn't, they would be hunted by the entire world. There was nothing impossible about this.
Looking at Qi Mengxi's worried expression, Hao Qiang walked over and gently kissed her on the forehead. He then gave her a comforting look, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, we're taking advantage of each other, so nothing will happen to them."
Qi Mengxi nodded worriedly.
"Where is Wenwen? Why haven't I seen her in the morning?" Hao Qiang asked in confusion.
Upon hearing his words, Qi Linxi suddenly recalled that this morning, Ivy had gone home early.
"Wenwen said something happened at home and she wants to go home."
When Hao Qiang heard that, his heart tightened, "Did she say what it was?"
Qi Mengxi shook her head. "She just said it's a small matter. It can be solved very soon."
Although this was what Ewen said, Hao Qiang was still worried. He immediately called for Lei Li to send a few people to the Ai family to protect Ewen Wen at all times.
Although everything had been peaceful and quiet recently, even the [Ghost Domain], which always came to harass them, didn't show much activity. However, Hao Qiang still felt that it was better to be careful in everything he did. Qi Mengxi agreed with Hao Qiang's caution.
In the afternoon, the military car arrived outside Hao Qiang's villa on time, just as Deputy Liang had said on the phone.
Just as Hao Qiang was changing his clothes, Han Ziyan appeared from the side, "You had a notice this afternoon, didn't Lei Li tell you?"
Hao Qiang was completely caught off guard. After a while, he said, "Push it back. This matter is more important."
"But it's a promotional campaign for 'Vernacular', are you sure? You haven't been there much lately. Aren't you a little too carefree as a star actor? "
When Hao Qiang heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had been so busy recently that he forgot about the time. Because of this, he had missed the most important few days of 'Verdant Chronicle'.
No wonder the last time she looked at Ewen, she felt that she had become a lot more haggard.
"Even Ewen isn't here this time, do you want your show to be completely out of the question?" Han Ziyan added.
"If you really don't want to go, I can go in your place." Han Ziyan said. It had been a long time since her disguise skills had returned to normal.
"But there are conditions."
"Nope." When he heard Han Ziyan say the word "conditions", Hao Qiang subconsciously reacted.
Han Ziyan: "…" She hasn't said it yet!
Hao Qiang: "..." "Tell me."
"A date with my mother." Han Ziyan said angrily.
Hao Qiang raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect these two sisters to have so much perseverance. Even after such a long time, they still didn't give up. Such perseverance was truly precious.
"It's just an appointment. It doesn't affect you at all." Han Ziyan continued to tempt her.
