Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Su Lin’s Worries
"After Shen Bo gave up his life as a desert camel handler, he became the chief steward for the Cheng Family. We came this time to find some precious antiques for them,"
explained the leader of the treasure hunters.
"Isn’t the Cheng Family very rich? They even rank among the notable names of Zao City. The money they spent to hire you guys could probably have bought one already,"
Wang Hao still didn’t quite understand.
"Shen Bo said the person the Cheng Family wants to give a gift to this time is very special, ordinary items definitely wouldn’t catch their eye. As for who they intend to send it to, we have no idea,"
"That Shen Bo is also very cunning, his mouth is incredibly tight-lipped, and he won’t reveal an extra word."
Before Wang Hao could ask further, the leader of the treasure hunters spilled everything he knew.
Wang Hao felt there was no need for him to keep asking, so he didn’t pursue the matter further.
"Also, the last time you helped Cheng Lei put on that act of heroism saving the damsel in distress, you’ve all made it onto the police’s wanted list, did you know?"
Wang Hao kindly warned them.
"I knew that kid wasn’t reliable. Shen Bo insisted that we help with this favor, and now we’ve really brought trouble upon ourselves,"
the leader of the treasure hunters said angrily. However, he told Wang Hao not to worry, they had a way to get out of the mess.
For the time being, they would keep a low profile, not make any moves, and even go into hiding for a while. If Wang Hao wanted to find them, he would have to wait until the heat had died down.
Wang Hao didn’t currently need their help. It would be fine for them to go into hiding to avoid causing a commotion that could stir up the whole city, otherwise, if the ancient tomb matter were to leak, it would be disastrous.
"Grandpa Gao, you should head back too, it’s been several days, and your family must be worried sick about you,"
Wang Hao reminded, as the sun had already set when they ventured out.
Since Gao Shenglin was advanced in age, and the mountain paths were treacherous after dark, Wang Hao decided to personally escort him home.
"Grandpa Gao, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. About that ancient tomb, I hope..."
"You hope I’ll continue playing dumb as before, pretending that nothing has happened here, right?"
Gao Shenglin chuckled before Wang Hao could finish.
"I’d guessed there was an ancient tomb there a long time ago; otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought you in. You, Wang Hao, can forget about finding those treasures!"
"Grandpa Gao, you know who I am?"
Wang Hao was very surprised.
"You’re quite famous in town. I reckon there aren’t many here who don’t know you!"
Gao Shenglin continued.
"You can rest easy! At my age, I’m not interested in the items within the ancient tomb. Besides, it’s dangerous in there, one misplaced step could be the end of me."
"I won’t tell my grandchildren either. I don’t want them coming to any harm. They’ve dealt with the farmlands all their lives, they simply aren’t cut out for that sort of stuff." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"If they ask me what I’ve been up to, I’ll just say I was out searching for the golden dragon."
The elder and the younger shared a smile and slowly descended the mountain.
After seeing Gao Shenglin home, his family was very grateful and insisted on giving Wang Hao a reward. Wang Hao repeatedly declined until he finally managed to refuse, but in the end, they gave him a large bag of local produce before letting him go.
Wang Hao returned home to find it was already well past midnight. After a bath and a change of clothes, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he decided to go look for Zheng Cailian. As he stepped outside, he saw a figure under a large tree in the village. Approaching, he realized it was Su Lin.
She squatted by the tree, apparently sobbing, and murmured something under her breath.
"Tree god, tree god, please save Brother Hao, and ensure his safe return!"
Turns out, she was there praying for Wang Hao’s safety, which secretly delighted him.
Planning to get closer to hear what Su Lin was saying more clearly,
he accidentally stepped on a branch on the ground. Su Lin heard the noise and hurriedly turned around. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Upon seeing Wang Hao standing right behind her, she burst into tears of joy and immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Brother Hao, I just knew you would be fine. My dad... my dad just told me, said that you... might have been taken away by a tree demon!"
Su Lin clung to Wang Hao, crying loudly, tears gushing out like pearls.
Wang Hao gently patted Su Lin’s back while comforting her.
"Silly Lin Lin, I’m back now, aren’t I? Be good, don’t cry!"
He said, cradling Su Lin’s small face and gently wiping the tears from her cheeks.
Su Lin looked up at Wang Hao’s tender smile, feeling the caress of his fingers, and couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe to give Wang Hao a light kiss.
Wang Hao, seeing Su Lin’s tempting, pouty lips, was stirred and leaned down to kiss her.
The two of them kissed passionately.
After a long while, they finally parted.
Su Lin playfully stuck her tongue out at Wang Hao and then buried her head in his embrace.
Wang Hao held Su Lin’s slender waist tightly, feeling the warmth of her body.
"Big brother Hao, do you know? When I heard my dad say you might not come back, I was so scared, really scared..."
"Fool, how could I bear to leave you behind?"
"Big brother Hao, you’re not allowed to leave me ever again!"
"Alright, I’ll never leave you again!"
Su Lin nestled in Wang Hao’s arms, a sweet smile appearing on her face.
Wang Hao stroked Su Lin’s shiny black hair, inhaling her light and elegant fragrance, feeling blissful.
A moment later, Su Lin suddenly sat up from Wang Hao’s embrace, her beautiful eyes fixating on his cheek for a few seconds before she moved closer to examine it carefully.
Wang Hao felt somewhat unnatural under Su Lin’s gaze and asked.
"Lin Lin, why are you looking at me with that expression?"
Su Lin shook her head without answering, but reached out her right hand to pinch Wang Hao’s cheek, then his nose, and finally placed her ear on his chest to listen.
"Hey, Lin Lin, stop playing, it tickles to death!"
Wang Hao said with a wry smile, then caught Su Lin with a reversal of hands and pinned her beneath him.
Su Lin was startled by Wang Hao’s sudden move and cried out in alarm.
"Ah!"
"Hehe..."
Wang Hao grinned, saying with a mischievous smile.
"Lin Lin, if you keep messing around, I really won’t be able to resist doing something to you."
After saying that, Wang Hao even intentionally flexed the hard-as-steel treasure between his legs.
Su Lin’s face instantly flushed red, she glared at Wang Hao with feigned annoyance and then coquettishly exclaimed.
"Aiyah! Stop it!"
Having said that, she wriggled her full hips, trying to break free from Wang Hao’s restraint.
But Wang Hao had been plotting this for a long time; how could he let her succeed?
"Trying to run away?"
Wang Hao smiled wickedly, then with a sweep of his hand, he ripped through Su Lin’s pajamas.
Soon, her snowy white and tender skin was exposed before Wang Hao’s eyes.
That enticing curve, those exquisitely perfect features, and the impressive assets along with her long, straight beautiful legs deeply captivated Wang Hao.
At this moment, Wang Hao felt a tightness in his throat, a heat rising in his lower abdomen, his blood boiling, and a certain place even more painfully swollen.
He let out a low growl and bent down to kiss Su Lin.
"Mmm~"
Su Lin moaned softly, her eyes a haze of confusion, her arms winding around Wang Hao’s neck.
Gradually, Wang Hao felt his body becoming hotter and hotter, his mouth dry and his tongue parched, his emotions growing increasingly intense...
