Hao Ren and Han Lingshi left their office and came back home in the evening to prepare for the over night journey. The couple had just returned home, when the security guards informed them that Yue Shenlong has come over. Hao Ren went inside to pack, while Han Lingshi and Tang Zen were left to greet the young man.
A few minutes later when Yue Shenlong came upstairs he had a perplexed expression on his face. Han Lingshi asked, "What happened?"
Yue Shenlong replied, "Big cousin, how come Hao Ren found so many skilled people? When they gazed at me downstairs I felt as if I am naked."
Han Lingshi almost laughed out loud and said, "They are from the special forces, all retired from battle injuries so they can be very intimidating. Come in, welcome to my home."
Yue Shenlong raised his brow and followed her inside, he wanted to make a comment when she introduced the place to be her home, but suddenly spotted Tang Zen looking at him. Han Lingshi said, "This is my mother-in-law."
Then she turned to look at Tang Zen and said, "Ma, this is my maternal uncle's son, Yue Shenlong."
Tang Zen nodded with a smile and said, "Welcome, would it be okay if I address you as Xiao Shen?"
Yue Shenlong smiled brightly and nodded as he bowed, "Greetings auntie. I hope you have been well."
The trio came to the living room, and they began to catch up about the past few days. After half an hour, Hao Ren came out of his room with two suitcases in tow. Old Master Hao came out at the same time with a similar luggage. The father and son did not say much, and pulled them to the living room.
It was not that they did not want the women to work, however, they knew that the ladies would call for them when in need. Hao Ren nodded to Yue Shenlong and said, "Ma, we are ready. I suggest that we leave now and eat something on the way. What do you think?"
Tang Zen frowned and said, "Xiao Shen came to your house for the first time, he should have a meal here."
Hao Ren sighed and replied, "It is not that I do not want to host him, but within half an hour, the Jade Capital will catch fire from the spark we have let out. I do not wish to be caught in this trouble. If you think I am making things up, then ask Lingshi."
Han Lingshi spoke up as if waiting for the cue, "Ma, the people who have been messing with us are about to face legal actions, and despite anything. Media will come to chase after us. Can we leave now? I will host Xiao Long when we come back."
Yue Shenlong curiously asked, "Say, big cousin, whom did you guys screw up?"
Hao Ren replied, "Shun family, and the Hamil family."
Yue Shenlong stood up from his seat and exclaimed, "Are you two trying to turn the Jade Capital upside down?"
Hao Ren chuckled and asked, "Connect."
The call as accepted and on the other side, Leonard Hamil yelled, "You bastard, Hao Ren if you have the guts come and fight me face to face. You coward. Going after me in such a manner, how do you even sleep at night."
Hao Ren smiled and replied, "Hahaha, Young Master Hamil. I do not sleep at night, not at all. I have a wife to serve. I think you will understand what I mean better than the others, right?"
Leonard was so angry that he could not process what Hao Ren said, he kept on yelling for five minutes, before Hao Ren sighed and said, "Leonard Hamil, I wonder if anyone else knows about Chan Ling."
The last two words were akin to a bullet that was shot through the phone and poured Leonard Hamil's brains on the other side. The call was disconnected. Han Lingshi raised her brow and said, "Oh, I did not expect you to use such a card Ren. You have become very cunning."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Sometimes, one has to pull out the ace up their sleeves."
As soon as his words dropped his phone rang again. Hao Ren picked up and said, "Before you start yapping, let me tell you that I have been long aware of your relationship with Chan Ling for years now. Who told you to come sneakily in the college festival. Anyhow, you only need to know that what happens in the court, you will be sent to prison, and then your love story will come to an end."
Leonard Hamil gulped, he did not lose his calm this time, and asked, "What do you want? Tell me, what do you want? I will give up everything to you, but please I cannot go to the prison. Chan will be left behind and my daughter... she..."
Hao Ren raised his brow, and remarked, "I did not expect you to be a family man, Young Master Hamil. However, the situation is very difficult because of your actions."
Leonard Hamil took a deep breath and said, "I will give away fifty percent of shares in the Hamil Infra. I will give you whatever you want, but please do not kill me."
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "Fine, I will give you a chance, compensate the people who have been harmed because of your malpractice, and put your father under house arrest. Then you can call me,"
That said, he disconnected the call, and Han Lingshi asked, "Why did you go easy on him?"
Hao Ren shrugged his shoulders and said, "Perhaps I am an emotional human being."
The car drove off, while the invisible flames covered the upper class of the Jade Capital City.

Dream's note: Does anyone recall which village did Mister Hao and Empress Hao belonged to? Please tell me the name of that place, I forgot about it. I need to write about that place and do not want the naming to be wrong.
