Chapter 182: Chapter 182 Big Brother Hao is Really Godlike
"Alright, so that’s how it is!"
Actually, Xia Xue didn’t really believe it because she had never slept without changing her clothes before, and right now, she clearly wasn’t wearing pajamas.
She thought that maybe Wang Hao didn’t want to tell her the truth for his own reasons. After all, she believed in her heart that it was Wang Hao who saved her and Qi Shihan, and whatever he was hiding, it was to protect them.
As she thought about it, a happy smile appeared on Xia Xue’s face, and without realizing it, her cheeks flushed red.
At that moment, Wang Hao was sitting next to her, seeing her like this he felt very happy, and he firmly took hold of Xia Xue’s soft, fair hand that was resting by the bed.
He was really afraid that he couldn’t help but pull this shy and lovely girl into his arms and kiss her fiercely.
"Wang Hao!"
Xia Xue looked at Wang Hao and called out affectionately.
"Hmm? What’s wrong, baby?"
Wang Hao smiled gently and replied softly.
"Who’s your baby, what kind of way to talk is that? Can’t you be serious for once?"
Xia Xue glared at Wang Hao and chastised him.
"Hehe..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao let out a silly laugh.
"Stop it."
Xia Xue, embarrassed by Wang Hao’s laughter, quickly lowered her head and then buried it in his broad, sturdy chest, like a little wife who had been wronged.
Seeing this, Wang Hao smiled again, reached out to gently touch Xia Xue’s black and beautiful hair, then leaned in to lightly kiss her forehead.
Xia Xue looked up and cradled Wang Hao’s face, which was chiseled, with a firm jawline, gazing at him with deep affection.
"What’s the matter?"
Wang Hao looked at Xia Xue, asking with concern.
"Nothing, I just want to look at you more."
Xia Xue smiled sweetly and moved her face closer to Wang Hao’s chest.
Upon hearing this, a surge of tenderness filled Wang Hao’s heart. He hugged Xia Xue a little tighter, allowing her to feel the warmth and sense of security that came from his body.
The two of them held each other quietly, the room filled with the scent of happiness, as if it could make one forget the world’s worries and sorrows...
After a while, Xia Xue raised her head and said to Wang Hao,
"You should go and rest. I’m fine. We still have to go to the company tomorrow!"
"Alright then."
Wang Hao reluctantly returned to his own sofa to rest.
Early the next morning, Qi Shihan sat by the window, zoning out as if she had encountered something perplexing.
"What is it with our little princess?"
Wang Hao teased as he approached her.
"Brother Hao, I have to tell you something very strange. Last night I had a dream where Xia Xue and I were kidnapped. It all felt so real!"
"If it hadn’t been for waking up this morning and finding myself in my bed at home, I wouldn’t have known it was all a dream!"
Qi Shihan moved close to Wang Hao with a serious expression on her face.
"Brother Hao, the elders always say dreams have premonitions. Could those bandits actually come to kidnap us?"
"Oh my, you’re overthinking it. Those bandits were caught long ago!"
Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Caught?"
Qi Shihan didn’t believe it and quickly pulled out her phone to check the news online, but she couldn’t find anything no matter how hard she searched.
Wang Hao cursed himself silently, blaming his quick mouth for slipping up!
The capture of the bandits had happened just the night before. The police were still verifying their identities, waiting until everything was confirmed before releasing the news.
So the news hadn’t reported it that quickly.
Wang Hao was thinking about how to explain it to Qi Shihan when her phone pinged. She picked it up and saw a breaking news alert. freēwēbnovel.com
The headline was: Overseas Fugitive Bandits Arrested Last Night in Chicheng County.
There was also a photo attached, showing three people with hoods over their heads getting into a car.
"Brother Hao, you’re really something, knowing before even the news does!"
Qi Shihan looked at Wang Hao incredulously; the news had just been reported, and Wang Hao already knew beforehand?
"This..."
Wang Hao didn’t know what excuse to make up on the spot.
Just then, Xia Xue came out with breakfast, helping Wang Hao out of the awkward situation.
"You came back so late last night, did you hear about it from a friend?"
"Yes!"
Wang Hao followed Xia Xue’s lead and said.
"I was drinking with Sun Laotie and others yesterday, and one of Sun Laotie’s friends from the police station told me."
"You guys actually drank until the wee hours? Sister Xia Xue, you need to keep a better eye on him, can’t let him overindulge!"
Qi Shihan suddenly took on an adult-like tone and began to lecture Wang Hao.
"Why should I oversee him!"
Xia Xue’s face turned red, and she gave Qi Shihan a look.
Overall, though, Wang Hao had managed to bluff his way through the situation and heaved a long sigh of relief.
But there was still one thing on Wang Hao’s mind, and that was that Xiao Wei and Jia Jia were still missing. frёewebηovel.cѳm
After breakfast, the three of them went to the company and found that He Yifan had also arrived early.
He Yifan must have seen the news this morning and thought it was safe to come back to work.
Yet He Yifan was still bashful when she saw Wang Hao.
"Sister Xia Xue, Boss Wang, I heard that there will be buyers coming to Chicheng County to purchase medicinal herbs, should we go check it out?"
He Yifan immediately approached the three and suggested.
When Wang Hao entered the company, he noticed that it had been cleaned thoroughly, with He Yifan’s unfinished breakfast still on her desk.
So he looked at He Yifan with a mixture of gratitude and concern.
Seeing Wang Hao’s gaze, He Yifan’s face inexplicably flushed again.
"Really? But it seems like only individual buyers will come to look for expensive medicinal herbs; I don’t think anyone is still buying ordinary herbs. It shouldn’t be much of an advantage for our ordinary herbs in the greenhouse."
Xia Xue felt somewhat puzzled.
"Who cares, as long as they’re buying herbs, we should pay more attention. If there’s a chance, let’s go have a look!"
Wang Hao felt that no opportunity should be missed.
Before He Yifan could say anything more, Wang Hao’s phone rang—he picked it up to see it was Sun Laotie calling.
"Laotie, what’s up?"
Wang Hao hurriedly answered the call.
"The apprehension of those bandits yesterday, that was your work, wasn’t it?"
Instead of answering Wang Hao’s question, Sun Laotie asked him directly.
Wang Hao couldn’t help but admire Sun Laotie’s understanding of him.
"What’s up? You sound like you’re not very happy!"
Wang Hao essentially admitted it but heard a hint of worry in Sun Laotie’s tone.
"Those bandits, they don’t know where Xiao Wei and Jia Jia are?"
Sun Laotie asked with a tone that suggested he already knew the answer.
"Yeah!"
Wang Hao found Sun Laotie’s question somewhat baffling, but with the change in Sun Laotie’s tone, his eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.
"Laotie, do you know where the two of them are?"
"Do you know Zhang Xuepin?"
Sun Laotie let out a wry laugh.
"It was he who took the two kids to Zao City to see a doctor. Jia Jia’s illness flared up again, and if it weren’t for Zhang Xuepin hurrying to take Jia Jia to the municipal hospital, you might not have seen her again!"
Upon hearing this news, Wang Hao felt a great sense of relief wash over him.
He also recalled that Zhang Xuepin had called him several times previously, but he had been too upset at the time to return the calls.
Thinking about it now, if he had returned the calls that day, perhaps all the subsequent trouble could have been avoided.
After hanging up, Wang Hao rushed to the orphanage, and before even entering, he saw a white sedan.
Huang Dingfeng had also mentioned that he saw Xiao Wei and Jia Jia being taken away by a white car; it turned out that the car belonged to Zhang Xuepin.
Seeing Wang Hao, Zhang Xuepin approached politely with an outstretched hand.
"Mr. Wang, we meet again!"
