Chapter 60

Chapter 60 - Eight-star

Lin Rou'er walked with Ye Hao out of the hospital ward and whispered, “I'll have May take you home.”

“Alright,” Ye Hao replied, not one to make a fuss.

?Lin Tu resided in a sanatorium reserved for the wealthy, hence its location away from the bustling city center.

Ye Hao had just been pondering his return journey.

As Ye Hao and Lin Rou'er made their way to the parking lot, a nurse pushing a cart approached them.

Lin Rou'er gave the nurse a brief glance before looking away.

She seemed to be just an ordinary nurse.

But Ye Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly moved Lin Rou'er behind him.

Lin Rou'er's face showed immediate concern.

“How did you get in here?” Ye Hao demanded, his voice stern.

The nurse stared at Ye Hao, confused. “What are you talking about?”

Suddenly, a dagger materialized in her hand and she thrust it at Ye Hao without a moment's delay.

The nurse leaped to Ye Hao's side in a blink.

May, witnessing the scene, let out a piercing scream.

As the dagger neared Ye Hao's heart, he deftly caught it between two fingers.

The nurse's face contorted in shock.

That was her gut reaction.

Biluo was well aware of the strength and speed of her attack; few in the organization could evade her, yet Ye Hao had effortlessly caught her dagger.

An assassin who fails to eliminate their target must flee at once.

Ye Hao gave a cold snort and reached for Biluo's wrist.

?Biluo backed away, but her speed was no match for his.

With ease, Ye Hao seized Biluo's wrist.

“Why choose the life of an assassin?” Ye Hao asked, locking eyes with Biluo.

Biluo responded with a cold sneer, her gaze shifting to Lin Rou'er behind Ye Hao.

Instinctively, Ye Hao turned to look.

One shouldn't underestimate the seven-star level; it was already an impressive achievement.

Many martial artists spend their entire lives without breaking through to this level.

Xiaolan nodded in agreement.

Lin Rou'er fell into a contemplative silence.

After a while, she turned to May and instructed, “May, reserve a private room at the Emerald Quest Hotel for tomorrow noon. I'm going to treat Ye Hao to lunch.”

“I'm heading out,” Ye Hao announced to Lin Rou'er's bodyguard who had escorted him back, then he opened the car door.

Once back at school, Ye Hao reached into his pocket and realized his phone was still with Tang Pianpian.

He borrowed a phone from a fellow student to dial his own number, only to discover it was switched off.

?His phone had run out of battery!

After a moment's thought, Ye Hao headed to his dormitory.

Zheng Xiaolong would likely have Tang Pianpian's contact details.

“Ye Hao, where have you been?” Yuan Gaoxing inquired as Ye Hao entered the room.

“I was tied up with something,” Ye Hao replied, then turned to Zheng Xiaolong. “Xiaolong, do you have Tang Pianpian's phone number?”

Ye Hao's question stunned everyone in the dorm.

Zheng Xiaolong, with an exaggerated tone, teased, “Aren't you content with having Zhang Lan?”

Ye Hao brushed Zheng Xiaolong aside. “I need to speak with Tang Pianpian about something.”

“What could you possibly need to do?”

“Do you have her contact or not?”

“I do. But I'd advise against calling her.”

“Why's that?”

“Tang Pianpian has already blocked hundreds of nuisance calls.”

“Just lend me your phone.”

“What are you planning?”

“I need to call Tang Pianpian.”

“Can we please be serious?”

“Who's joking? Tang Pianpian has my phone. If I don't use yours to call her, whose should I use?”

“What?” exclaimed Zheng Xiaolong, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Tang Pianpian has your phone?”
