"Zhao Ying!"
"Wow! It's really Zhao Ying!"
"And Yang Yu!"
"Look quickly, it's Yang Yu too!"
As a few exclamations erupted from the crowd, the entire entrance of the Oriental Hotel instantly became a frenzy.
Those who were originally watching as spectators, in an instant, rushed towards Lin Hao like madmen.
Lin Hao was startled and quickly pulled Zhao Ying, Yang Yu, and Tang Ziyuan into the car.
"Drive quickly," Lin Hao said to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei quickly started the car and sped onto the road with a press of the accelerator.
Looking at the crowd chasing closely behind the car, Lin Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as Lin Hao relaxed.
At the entrance of the Oriental Hotel, Tang Xiaoli stood frozen in place, as if petrified.
She looked in the direction Lin Hao had left, then at the relentlessly pursuing crowd, and a wave of daze washed over her.
The scenes from just now replayed in her mind.
"Zhao Ying, Yang Yu, Tang Ziyuan..."
Tang Xiaoli murmured, then suddenly cried out hoarsely!
"Ah!"
"Why!"
"Why!"
Tang Xiaoli squatted on the ground and burst into tears!
Han Chen and Song Ming exchanged glances and quickly got into their cars and left.
Song Ming still had to go back and deal with what had just happened.
He wondered if Yang Yu and Zhao Ying had been photographed while holding onto Lin Hao's arm.
Song Ming shook his head with a headache, then made a call to notify the PR department while rushing to the company.
After Han Chen and Song Ming left.
Tang Xiaoli remained at the hotel entrance until late into the night.
She cried for a long time.
Eventually, her voice became hoarse from crying.
She looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road, her eyes unfocused.
After staring blankly for a long time, she slowly stood up.
As she walked towards the middle of the road, she whispered softly.
"I just wanted to become rich, what did I do wrong?"
"I just wanted to own my own house in Shanghai, what did I do wrong?"
"I just wanted to escape my current life, what did I do wrong?"
The last sentence, Tang Xiaoli almost roared out.
At this moment, she had already reached the middle of the road.
Cars sped past her from time to time.
Tang Xiaoli looked at the road illuminated by the streetlights, casting a dim yellow glow, and then looked at the bustling city on both sides of the road.
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes.
At the end of the road, a large truck roared towards her.
Tang Xiaoli tightly closed her eyes, spread her arms, and suppressed the fear in her heart, welcoming the arrival of death.
But at this moment.
A woman with a graceful figure suddenly appeared.
She was incredibly fast. The moment the large truck was about to hit Tang Xiaoli, she grabbed her and then flew into the woods.
"Beep—!"
"You damn fool, are you trying to die!"
The driver braked urgently, cold sweat covering his forehead. Then, he jumped out of the car in a rage.
But when he jumped out, he found no one there.
A chill ran down the man's spine. Suppressing the fear in his heart, he circled the car.
When he was certain that there was no one under or around the car, his face instantly turned pale with fear.
"Pfft!"
"Don't let me catch you again!"
The man spat on the ground, trying to bolster his courage, and quickly climbed back into the driver's seat.
Once the car door was tightly shut and he felt the warmth inside the car, the man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, his entire back was drenched in sweat.
"Damn it!"
The man muttered a curse and quickly drove away.
...
On the Pudong riverside.
Moon Bay Villa District.
Ye Weicai was throwing a tantrum.
He held the Yin Yang Mirror in his hand, wanting to smash it on the ground, but in the end, he couldn't bear to!
Three hundred million!
A full three hundred million, and he had bought a piece of junk!
He had been very happy to bid for the Yin Yang Mirror, a magical artifact, for only three hundred million yuan today.
However, after the auction ended, he took the Yin Yang Mirror and rushed to Fa Ling Temple to have it appraised by the old abbot. The moment he received the appraisal, he was completely stunned.
The old abbot said the Yin Yang Mirror was broken.
It could only be used about three times at most.
Upon hearing this result, Ye Weicai exploded on the spot.
His instinct was to go to the Hidden Pavilion to demand a refund.
But then he remembered.
The Hidden Pavilion had never offered refunds for items sold.
Moreover, the item wasn't fake; it hadn't violated the Hidden Pavilion's promise of selling only genuine items.
Thinking of these things, and then considering the mysterious background of the Hidden Pavilion.
Ye Weicai finally suppressed his anger.
But suppressing it was one thing.
The rage in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He thought he had gotten a great deal today.
But he never expected to be played for a fool again and again!
Three hundred million, a full three hundred million!
No!
There was also Lin Hao's eighteen million!
Thinking of Lin Hao, Ye Weicai's eyes turned cold.
"Damn it!"
"I can't afford to offend the Hidden Pavilion, but can't I offend Lin Hao?"
With this thought, Ye Weicai gritted his teeth and decided to go find Lin Hao tomorrow.
Even if he couldn't get Lin Hao to return all eighteen million, he would make him return half!
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Weicai suppressed the urge to smash the Yin Yang Mirror on the ground, put it down, and prepared to go to the bedroom to sleep.
However.
At this moment.
A figure suddenly walked in.
Ye Weicai saw the figure in the light and was startled.
"Who!?"
Ye Weicai shouted and immediately turned to look.
Upon seeing the person, his expression changed drastically.
"Lin Hao!"
"You... how did you get in?"
Lin Hao looked at Ye Weicai, whose face was filled with fear, and smiled, saying, "Don't worry about how I got in, where's my stuff?"
"Give me back my things, and I'll leave right away."
"What?" Ye Weicai looked at Lin Hao, feeling bewildered, and asked, "Your things? What things?"
"The bronze ancient sword, and that jade sleeping sheep," Lin Hao said directly, without wasting any words.
"What!?" Ye Weicai looked at Lin Hao as if he were an idiot, and said with a laugh of anger, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Let me tell you, Lin Hao, you are trespassing on private property right now!"
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of here obediently, or I'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"Go ahead and call."
Lin Hao said calmly, then placed his hand on Ye Weicai's desk.
Immediately, the entire solid wood desk made a "crack" sound and shattered into pieces.
Ye Weicai had already taken out his phone.
But as soon as he took out his phone, he was completely stunned!
Looking at his expensive rosewood desk, which was shattered by Lin Hao's casual palm strike, Ye Weicai swallowed and looked at Lin Hao, trembling.
"You... what do you want?"
"Didn't I say? Give me back my things, and I'll leave immediately."
"You!"
Ye Weicai looked at Lin Hao, wanting to say "You wish!"
But the words caught in his throat, and he swallowed them back forcefully.
Because Lin Hao placed his hand on Ye Weicai's shoulder.
