Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 308: Chapter 308 Someone Jumped Off The Building Again

"Don’t worry, I’ll take this matter to heart. I promise I will make our company soar to great heights!"

Wang Hao patted his chest as he spoke.

"Since you’ve said so, I feel relieved!"

Chen Hongying smiled with understanding. Wang Hao was somewhat enchanted; he never expected that Chen Hongying’s smile could be so beautiful, sweet with a touch of shyness.

"Do you trust me that much?"

Wang Hao said with a mischievous smile.

"Considering how you’ve defeated me several times before, I believe that if even you can’t do it, probably no one in Zao City can!"

Chen Hongying said with certainty.

Wang Hao curled his lips and chuckled. Was that a compliment? Why did it feel like such a heavy burden!

"There’s one more thing!"

Chen Hongying stood up and smiled at Wang Hao again as she spoke.

"Thank you for just now, for helping me out of that encirclement. I had some misunderstandings about you before, and I would like to apologize for the things I did that hurt you!"

This sudden apology truly shocked Wang Hao; he never expected that the always proud Chen Hongying would bow her head to him today.

"Don’t be so formal with me; after all, you’re going to be one of my people!"

Wang Hao joked.

But upon hearing this, Chen Hongying was taken aback and quickly got up and left. frёeωebɳovel.com

However, the moment she turned around, she could clearly feel her face flushing, her ears beginning to burn, and her heart thumping wildly.

What was this all about? It seemed like she hadn’t felt this way in over a decade.

Wang Hao, being a normal man, was naturally attracted to a woman in her prime. Having been with quite a few women, he had also accumulated quite a lot of experience.

To move a woman like Chen Hongying, who had been through a lot and was mature and realistic, it wouldn’t work to rely on those romantic little tricks; he had to dissolve the grudges in her heart.

But Wang Hao wasn’t in a hurry; these things had to be taken slowly.

Now that Qin Xi was beaten up like this, it seemed he wouldn’t come looking for trouble with Chen Hongying again. For the time being, Chen Hongying was safe, and Wang Hao was also relieved.

So Wang Hao left the hotel and went to the Wen Family compound.

When he got home, it was still not dark. At this time, Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong hadn’t returned home. Although rich people like them didn’t have to go to work every day, they couldn’t avoid a lot of socializing if they wanted to protect their assets.

Fortunately, with their current status, they could decide whether or not to attend events; however, they would definitely go to some large gatherings, and it wasn’t certain they would get drunk.

But Wang Hao found it really boring to be at home alone.

"This... It’s not my business... I didn’t expect she would..."

Just as Wang Hao was about to return to his room, he heard this vague sentence when he passed by Wen Zicong’s room, and he couldn’t understand the meaning at all.

Wang Hao thought about asking, but then he considered Wen Zicong’s stubborn temper; unless his sister Wen Xiaowei pressured him, he certainly wouldn’t tell Wang Hao what had actually happened.

So Wang Hao returned to his own room, thinking he would talk to Wen Xiaowei when she came back.

As soon as Wang Hao entered his room and calmed his mind, he carefully sensed the energy of the Heart of the Dragon within his body and was startled.

He could clearly feel the energy of the Heart of the Dragon enveloping all his meridians, emitting a dazzling light—of course, only he could feel this light.

"When did this energy become so powerful?"

Wang Hao was secretly surprised.

Before, Wang Hao had felt that whenever he used the energy of the Heart of the Dragon on the growth of Chinese medicinal herbs, the energy would decrease little by little.

But when used in fights, it seemed to strengthen gradually with each bout’s intensity.

Could it be that the energy of the Heart of the Dragon also needed to undergo trials to grow and become stronger?

What puzzled Wang Hao even more was that, after the big fight with Billy, when he had unblocked the governor and conception vessels, he had almost stopped using the energy of the Heart of the Dragon.

So what was the reason for this sudden increase in power?

"Could it be related to the smell on Xing Hua’s body?"

Thinking carefully, the atmosphere during his encounter with Xing Hua today had always been very strange, and he could faintly sense that peculiar smell throughout.

Moreover, he had defeated Xing Hua without any suspense, and in the past, the Heart of the Dragon only surged with energy after devouring poisonous substances or absorbing the spirit of precious medicinal herbs.

So, when he thought about it, Xing Hua’s body must either contain the spirit of medicinal herbs or be related to some poisonous substance.

But considering Xing Hua’s manner of doing things and his character, the possibility of poison was the greatest.

After calming his emotions, Wang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

Wang Hao noticed that every time his consciousness entered his body, time seemed to pass very quickly; he had felt like it had only been ten minutes, but in reality, more than three hours had gone by.

And just as he opened his eyes, it seemed like he could hear Qi Shihan and Wen Xiaowei going upstairs.

Wang Hao quickly pushed open the door, only to see Qi Shihan, pale as a ghost, fling herself into his arms upon seeing him and say.

"Big Brother Hao, I don’t want to go to school anymore. I won’t go back to Xiangtan University. Can you take me home, please?"

Qi Shihan pleaded.

"What happened? What’s going on?"

Wang Hao asked with a frown.

"It seems there’s been another student suicide at Xiangtan University!"

Wen Xiaowei hurried over to explain and then also frowned deeply.

"This is so strange. Could it really be related to the ghost rumors spreading around?"

Wen Xiaowei’s words immediately caught Wang Hao’s attention.

"Was it from room 414 of the old dormitory building at Xiangtan University?"

Wang Hao asked. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Yes, that’s how everyone is talking about it. And they only saw the body at the bottom of the building; no one actually saw the person jump from room 414."

Wen Xiaowei suddenly paused and asked.

"Right, how did you know about it?"

After all, Xiangtan University is a historic institution, and since the police have not yet captured the murderer, everyone has been trying to keep a lid on the situation to prevent unnecessary panic.

Even the news has not reported it officially, so the people of Zao City are not widely aware of the incident. How could Wang Hao know the details?

In fact, all this information came from the materials that Wen Yonglin had shown him.

"Aren’t the old dormitory doors all sealed up? And it’s so far from where your classes are, what are you scared of?"

Wang Hao touched Qi Shihan’s head to comfort her.

No one expected that at Wang Hao’s words, Qi Shihan’s face would turn even paler.

"That... the girl who jumped was my classmate, and... I saw her body!"

Qi Shihan said, trembling.

"What?"

Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise, asking uneasily.

"You weren’t in class, so how did you end up at the old dormitory?"

"It was... Senior Shen Shiyi who took me there!"

Qi Shihan said, her head bowed.

Shen Shiyi?

That was the beautiful girl who nearly got scammed on the bus to Zao City when she came with Qi Shihan, only to be saved by Wang Hao. Later, by coincidence, they met at the university and she helped familiarize them with the school environment.

Why would she run to the old dormitory again? And why take Qi Shihan with her?

The more Wang Hao thought about it, the more he found it extremely odd.
