The School Beauty's Super Rogue

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1373: Young Master Xu’s Plea for Help

Stepping out of Golden Venerable, sunlight spilled onto Zhang Lianyi’s face. Her delicate features seemed like a work of art carved from Bai Yu.

"Sir, thank you for today."

Turning to look at Qin Hao, the cold demeanor on Zhang Lianyi’s face transformed into tenderness.

"You’re welcome, but Lianyi, you’ve really grown up a lot." Qin Hao remarked with a full gaze of sighs.

Looking back, Zhang Lianyi used to be a timid little girl who would get flustered by crises and changes.

But now, through life’s trials, she has developed a will of self-reliance.

This was evident just now when she refused to help Meimei and Xie Jingyi.

Zhang Lianyi still harbors kindness in her heart, but she is not naive.

She understands what it means to be kind and what it means to be naive.

This is good.

"If I don’t grow up, I’d be letting down the company and Mr. Qin’s nurturing." Zhang Lianyi said, her eyes flashing with an unusual light as she looked at Qin Hao.

"Alright, Lianyi, it’s getting late, shouldn’t we be doing something?" Qin Hao half-joked.

"Hmm?"

Zhang Lianyi’s pretty face turned a rosy hue, she lowered her head slightly and said, "What does Sir want to do? As long as I can manage it, I’ll definitely accompany you at any cost."

What the heck! I was just joking, Lianyi you’re...

Qin Hao was rather speechless, but with a thought, he understood.

Zhang Lianyi has liked him for quite a while now; this change in her mindset has made her more outgoing and bold.

It was reasonable for her to say this.

"Uh, Lianyi, since you put it that way, I understand."

Qin Hao feigned a glance at his watch, then smiled: "I happen to be a bit tired too, why don’t we get a hotel room and watch some TV?"

Sister Yun, watching all this, was taken aback.

Get a room and watch TV?

Your deceit is a bit too crude, don’t you think?

Can you really play it this way?

But Zhang Lianyi’s face was flushed even more, and she gently nodded her head, "Okay, sure."

"Pfft!"

Sister Yun took a step back, completely exasperated, Lianyi, you believe this nonsense about getting a room?

Contrasting Sister Yun’s silent dismay, Qin Hao was overjoyed.

Whoa, I can share a room with Lianyi!

Could it be that today...

Ring-ring-ring.

The phone suddenly rang, it wasn’t a call, just a ringtone.

In ordinary times, Qin Hao would definitely ignore it.

But he remembered, with the upcoming Cyan Cloud Secret Realm expedition, there’s naturally more to manage.

So he opened his phone to have a look.

What he saw made his brow furrow.

The message was from Young Master Xu whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

And the text was succinct: "Big bro! Help!"

Besides that, there was a string of numbers behind it.

Being proficient in mathematics, Qin Hao immediately recognized it as geographical coordinates.

Why would Xiao Xuxu suddenly contact me? And send an SOS? Is he in danger?

With his capability, who could possibly threaten him?

Qin Hao’s mind raced with questions.

He really wanted to ignore this kind of information and seriously go to the hotel with Zhang Lianyi to "watch TV."

But, recalling Xiao Xuxu’s handsome face, the spirit of friendship within him ignited.

"Lianyi, I’m sorry, can we postpone watching TV? I have urgent business to attend to!"

Qin Hao could only hide his grief, speaking with a fully serious face.

"Alright... sir, if you need to be busy go ahead." Zhang Lianyi said, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"I’ll be off then!"

Gently patting Zhang Lianyi’s cheek, Qin Hao smiled and said: "Until I return!"

After saying this, he turned and left like the wind.

Left behind, Zhang Lianyi watched Qin Hao’s back, not yet moving away from her thoughts.

Sister Yun curiously asked: "Lianyi, who exactly is Mr. Qin?"

"Sir is..." Zhang Lianyi’s eyes sparkled brilliantly: "A god-like person!"

...

Qin Hao left Golden Venerable and headed directly to a village on the edge of Dongyang.

The car moved slowly along the muddy path

A thick wall suddenly appeared, there were even watchtowers on both sides, and at the entrance, heavily armed soldiers were stationed.

The taxi driver was terrified, he thought he was taking a passenger into the countryside.

How does it lead to a secret base here?

"Driver, thank you."

Stopping the car, Qin Hao paid without hesitation and ran towards the entrance.

"Halt!"

The soldiers raised their machine guns, pointing their muzzles at Qin Hao.

"I am Qin Hao!"

Qin Hao directly revealed his rank.

The military glanced at it, waved his hand, the automatic door opened immediately, respectfully welcoming him in: "Admiral Qin, any instructions?"

Qin Hao calmly took out the information, pointing to the coordinates: "Prepare a helicopter for me, I need to go to this location now."

"Yes!"

The military didn’t hesitate, immediately calling to arrange.

Qin Hao was finally relieved.

In Huaxia, the military’s force is distributed nationally, with nearly every place having a hidden small base.

Bases like these of about a hundred people are considered among the smaller ones.

"Looks like this is the benefit of being an admiral."

Qin Hao thoughtfully spoke, and not long after, a helicopter revved up on the helipad, with Qin Hao escorted by soldiers onto the aircraft.

...

Ghost Cry Ridge is located in the remote mountainous areas of Jinxi.

Its surroundings include dozens of villages, making the land seem quite prosperous.

Due to certain rumors, Ghost Cry Ridge is a renowned forbidden area nearby.

The legends of Ghost Cry Ridge are numerous.

Perhaps the most famous being, one night, a farmer accidentally passed by here and heard a mournful cry. Later the farmer fled, telling the story, and as it spread, Ghost Cry Ridge became a famous ghost site.

The locals hardly dare to set foot.

There are thrill-seekers drawn by the fame, but after entering Ghost Cry Ridge, they never came out.

Thus, it has become an absolute forbidden zone today.

At this moment, it is deep into the night.

Within the forest at Ghost Cry Ridge, tree shadows danced.

Swish, swish, swish!

Amidst the swaying shadows, several figures were swiftly flying.

They stepped on branches rather than the ground, their movements swift and sharp, like martial arts movies.

The figures split into two forces.

The first seemed to be alone, running away quickly.

While the three figures behind belonged to the pursuers, tightly on his tail, occasionally emitting white Powerful Qi.

Bang, bang, bang!

The scattering Powerful Qi hit nearby, creating cracks on the tree trunks. Flowers, grass, and branches were shredded into pieces.

What they were using was surprisingly very profound Inner Strength!

Woosh!

A gust of wind arose.

The first figure appeared to be out of strength, landing amidst brambles.

The brambles around were chopped by his surrounding white Inner Strength.

He hadn’t had time to escape when dozens of figures flashed from the front.

And the three figures behind also settled down.

At this point, this figure was surrounded.

"Young Master Xu, should I call you sir?"
