"No!"
"I want to make him wish he were dead, unable to live or die!"
Zhou Renjie gritted his teeth, his entire face contorted with rage.
He instinctively tried to get up, but the moment he moved, he realized he couldn't move at all.
It was then that he suddenly remembered.
Old Doctor Wu from the family had already pronounced a death sentence on him, stating that his limbs were beyond repair and he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
If anyone else had said this to him, he would have cursed them out, perhaps even beaten them.
But Old Wu...
He knew that whatever Old Wu said was almost never false.
This was because Old Wu was a former national player, equivalent to an imperial physician in ancient times.
If even Old Wu said his limbs were beyond medical help, then they truly were.
Thinking of this, Zhou Renjie, already furious, became incandescent with rage!
"Ah!"
Zhou Renjie roared, his expression ferocious, "I want him dead!"
"I want him dead!"
"Ahhh!!"
"Renjie!"
"Renjie!"
Zhou Bo held Zhou Renjie in his arms, his expression filled with pain.
"Renjie, rest assured, Father will capture that damned Lin Hao and bring him before you, to kneel at your feet and beg for forgiveness every day!"
"Renjie, my good child!"
After comforting Zhou Renjie for a while, Zhou Bo suppressed the pain in his heart and said to a servant, "Carry the young master back to his room and let him rest well."
"Yes!"
Zhou Bo watched as the servant carried his son away, sighing with pain.
Then, Zhou Bo's expression turned completely cold.
He decided that no matter what Lin Hao's background was, he would capture Lin Hao and make him kneel before his son to repent!
He would let the entire Modu know that the Zhou family had not fallen, that the Zhou family was still the Zhou family!
As Zhou Bo was contemplating these thoughts, a middle-aged man resembling a butler walked in from outside the door.
"Master, we have news."
"Speak!"
"We received word from below that Lin Hao has no master. It seems his fortune-telling and physiognomy skills were learned by finding an ancient text and practicing it blindly."
"Moreover, we have also investigated some people in Modu who are close to Lin Hao."
"Besides Liu Yongchang and Lai Qingsheng, are there others?" Zhou Bo asked the butler.
The butler nodded and replied, "There is also Li Qingyuan, the former dean of the First Hospital, and his granddaughter, Li Xue."
"Li Qingyuan and his granddaughter?"
"Yes."
Zhou Bo shook his head. A mere dean, he didn't pay much attention to him, especially since he was now a former dean.
"Who else?"
"There is Tang Ziyuan from Tangmei Group. I heard she might be Lin Hao's girlfriend."
"Tangmei Group? The one with Tang Ziyuan, who many people praise as the most beautiful woman in Modu?" Zhou Bo asked the butler.
"Yes, Master."
Zhou Bo shook his head. She was just a young woman. No matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't enter the Zhou family.
If his Zhou family were to open its doors to take a wife, countless beautiful women in Modu would be scrambling to marry into the Zhou family.
"Who else?"
"There's Wang Da Cong."
"Wang Da Cong? The one they call the 'National Husband'?"
"Yes, Master."
Zhou Bo frowned. Wang Da Cong himself was not much of a concern, but his father was worth noting.
However, he believed that even if Wang Da Cong was friends with Lin Hao, he would absolutely not risk his life for Lin Hao against the Zhou family.
Since he wouldn't risk his life, Zhou Bo had nothing to worry about.
Zhou Bo thought about these things, then looked at the butler and asked, "Anything else?"
"That's all. However, the people below are still investigating. If they find anything, I will report it to you immediately."
"Hmm, good."
Zhou Bo nodded, then looked at the butler and said, "Since we've already investigated, issue the order. Act immediately."
"I want to see Lin Hao kneeling at the gates of the Zhou family to repent when I wake up tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!"
The butler nodded, then looked at Zhou Bo and said, "By the way, Master, the day after tomorrow is the Master's eightieth birthday. Young Master Er, he..."
"It's fine, let him attend!" Zhou Bo waved his hand, then said with a grim expression, "With Renxiong there, let's see who dares to speak ill of Renjie?"
"That's true. It's the Master's eightieth birthday, the eldest young master will definitely be here."
"As long as the eldest young master is here, those in the family who are still dissatisfied will have to shut up obediently," the butler also nodded and said.
"Yes, go handle it. The sooner the better."
Zhou Bo waved his hand, then got up and walked towards Zhou Renjie's room.
...
Night fell.
As Modu's nightlife began, Lin Hao finally returned to the villa.
The meal with Han Chen this afternoon had been quite exhausting.
There was no helping it; Han Chen was simply too enthusiastic, and Lin Hao couldn't cope.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling person. With Han Chen being so enthusiastic, Lin Hao had no choice but to grit his teeth and finish the meal.
"Senior Brother, I think from now on, if anyone asks you to eat, you shouldn't go. Just let me go instead," Xiao Hei said to Lin Hao with a chuckle.
"The food was so delicious, and you tasted it as if it were chewing wax. What a waste."
"Alright, next time, I'll definitely let you go."
"Okay, you watch TV. I'm going into seclusion."
Lin Hao said, then went upstairs to meditate and go into seclusion.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
Just as Lin Hao was sitting cross-legged, recovering from his injuries.
Suddenly, Lin Hao sensed an unfamiliar aura outside the villa.
For safety, Lin Hao had set up a grand formation of feng shui around the villa.
He had set it up casually, not expecting it to be useful, but now it seemed it was.
Sensing the unfamiliar aura from outside the villa, Lin Hao got up and went downstairs.
As Lin Hao went downstairs, Xiao Hei also got up and was about to go upstairs.
Xiao Hei looked at Lin Hao going downstairs and immediately said, "Senior Brother, you felt it too?"
"Yes, I felt it. This person has a strong killing intent; he's an unwelcome guest," Lin Hao said, picking up a cigarette from the coffee table and lighting it.
"If he dares to come here seeking death, I'll make sure he never leaves," Xiao Hei said coldly, exuding a killing intent even more intense than that outside the villa.
Lin Hao was startled by the killing intent emanating from Xiao Hei.
"Xiao Hei, your killing intent is a bit too heavy?" Lin Hao looked at Xiao Hei, his brow furrowed slightly.
Lin Hao felt that if an ordinary person were standing in front of Xiao Hei at this moment, they would absolutely be scared into fainting instantly.
Xiao Hei, seeing Lin Hao frown, was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Lin Hao's meaning and quickly said with a smile, "Senior Brother, don't misunderstand. I've never killed innocent people indiscriminately."
"After you left the family three years ago, I also went overseas... so, I really haven't killed innocent people indiscriminately."
