Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Sun Lao San Gets Injured
"What?!"
Wang Dazhu and Huang Yufen both stopped their arguing and stared at Wang Hao, wondering if this kid was aspiring to have three wives and four concubines like people in ancient times, which would be illegal nowadays.
"I didn’t mean..."
Wang Hao suddenly realized he had said something wrong but didn’t know how to explain. He hastily grabbed his chopsticks, wolfed down a few bites to ease his embarrassment, and then put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out.
"Mom and Dad, I’m full. I have some business to discuss with Uncle Su, don’t wait up for me tonight."
Wang Dazhu and Huang Yufen exchanged a look, their thoughts in disarray.
How had this boy gone astray in just a few days outside? Definitely, the outside temptations were too strong, even making him think about unrealistic things like having multiple wives and concubines.
Wang Hao didn’t directly go to look for Su Zhenping, but went alone to the hill behind the village and to the ancient tomb.
The words of the mysterious old man in Zao City’s cultural relic market echoed continuously in Wang Hao’s mind, leaving him restless.
But after pondering, if a person’s luck is limited, why not bring benefits to more people around them during this limited time? So he quietly took the box out of the tomb.
"You little rascal, didn’t you promise not to touch the things in the ancient tomb? Why did you bring out this box?"
Su Zhenping was shocked to see the box.
"Stop questioning me, just study what’s special about this box. But be very careful, we can’t let a third person know what it is!"
After giving all the instructions, Wang Hao went home.
By the time Wang Hao got home, it was already midnight, as the trip to the tomb to fetch the box had delayed him three or four hours. After washing up, he lay down in bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Wang Hao got up early and made a phone call to Xia Xue, then headed for Chicheng County.
With just about two months until the peak season for purchasing herbal medicines, he had to set up the greenhouse beforehand.
Otherwise, if they couldn’t produce the herbal medicines in time, Chen Hongying would definitely come to cause them trouble.
Since the bandits were caught, Chicheng County had returned to its usual liveliness.
"Welcome home!"
Su Lin and Qi Shihan stood on either side of the villa’s entrance, motioning Wang Hao to enter with utmost professionalism.
Wang Hao’s villa had been fully renovated, the furniture all bought and ready for move-in, truly a cause for celebration.
But... the two girls wore mischievous smiles, which made Wang Hao feel something was off.
Wang Hao decided to go inside to see for himself. As soon as the door was pushed open, a large white sack swung towards his face.
Seeing their prank succeed, Su Lin and Qi Shihan happily high-fived to celebrate.
But a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Hao’s mouth, following which he threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The white sack burst instantly, and the flour inside sprayed out.
As if he had been expecting it, Wang Hao swiftly dodged and stood inside the house.
The two girls, still smugly rejoicing to themselves, were shocked as clouds of flour sprayed towards them, and by the time they realized, it was already too late to dodge.
So, two snowmen appeared at the entrance of the villa, with just two black eyes visible on their heads.
"Brother Hao..."
Qi Shihan stomped her foot in anger; she hadn’t expected Wang Hao to be so agile.
"Hmph!"
Her face turned stern, Qi Shihan pointed at Wang Hao and yelled.
"You’re not allowed to dodge, or you’ll regret it!" freewёbnoνel.com
She then lunged at him and held Wang Hao in a tight embrace.
Su Lin didn’t hold back either, joining in to tease Wang Hao, and soon enough, two snowmen turned into three.
"Good heavens, my dear little ladies, the house was just tidied up, are you trying to tear it down?"
Having returned from running errands outside, Xia Xue saw the mess and couldn’t help but scold them with a mix of anger and amusement.
She then glared fiercely at Wang Hao. Although the two of them were children, Wang Hao was already an adult, yet he was making a ruckus along with them.
Wang Hao felt very wronged inside but couldn’t betray the two girls, otherwise, he wouldn’t have peaceful days ahead.
So he didn’t make any excuses and quickly went inside to wash up.
After bathing and changing his clothes, he came out to find Xia Xue had already tidied up their previous chaos and was sitting on the sofa, readying to start an inquisition.
The two girls still needed to wash their hair, so their bath took longer than his. Unsure of when they would come out, Wang Hao had no shield and could only obediently go sit next to Xia Xue.
"Xue’er, I haven’t seen you for days, did you miss me?"
"Stop beating around the bush, just look at how old you are, causing such a mess as soon as you arrive. Give me an explanation!"
"I..."
At that moment, Wang Hao didn’t know how to explain himself.
"Uh... Sun San has something urgent for me; I really need to call him back!"
Wang Hao quickly found an excuse, ran back to his room, and closed the door behind him.
"Brother San, I’ve arrived in Chicheng County, has something happened on your end recently?"
Since Sun Er had told him to contact Sun San upon arriving in Chicheng County, Wang Hao made the call to inquire.
"Let’s talk when we meet, I’m at the casino in the hotel waiting for you!"
Sun San replied briefly, without saying much else, but his tone sounded very bad.
It looked like something serious had indeed happened. Wang Hao quickly changed his clothes and, after saying goodbye to Xia Xue, left, running as fast as a rabbit!
"Don’t think you can just find any excuse and that’ll be the end of it, I’ll deal with you when you get back!"
Xia Xue said indignantly, seemingly a bit angry.
It wasn’t so much about them making the house dirty, but rather that Wang Hao had run off as soon as he arrived. What could he be so busy with, that he couldn’t spare some time to spend with her?
As soon as Wang Hao reached the entrance to the casino at the hotel, he felt that the atmosphere in the betting area was off today.
Because the betting area wasn’t usually crowded, but today, quite a number of people were sitting there, all seemingly with something heavy on their minds.
"What happened?"
Just as he walked into the betting area, Wang Hao saw Xiao Yong, who seemed to be lost in thought, so he went up to him and gave him a pat, asking.
"Brother Hao, you’ve finally arrived!"
Xiao Yong snapped back to his senses at the sight of Wang Hao and pointed toward a room inside, saying.
"Third Master and the others are waiting for you in there!"
The other underlings also stood up to greet Wang Hao when they saw him, but their expressions seemed off.
Entering the room, Wang Hao saw Sun San with his hands wrapped in bandages, and he couldn’t help but halt in surprise.
"Third Brother, what happened to you? How did you get injured like this?"
"I’m fine!"
Sun San looked down at his hands, speaking in a suppressed voice.
"This time they somehow got their hands on guns!"
Guns?
Wang Hao frowned secretly. Gun control was extremely strict throughout the entire Xiangbei region, so where did Wild Bear and his crew get firearms from?
And considering that this time they clearly came for Wang Hao, after some thought, he felt there was only one possibility...
