However, this level of pressure was ineffective against Hailong. Hailong had controlled the Dragon King to fight bare-handed in the sea so many times, encountering all kinds of dangers and facing all kinds of powerful enemies. How could Li Wanhao's mere glance have any effect? Although Hailong didn't care, Chen Xiaoya, seeing Li Wanhao's appearance, became so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe heavily or say a word, only able to stand aside with her head lowered, nervously watching Li Wanhao.
In Chen Xiaoya's memory, seeing Li Wanhao in this state was rare. Every time she saw Li Wanhao like this, it meant he was extremely agitated. The result was either someone being forced to lose everything or someone being forced to die without a burial place.
Hailong, looking at Li Wanhao's appearance, said with a smile, "Old man, don't get so worked up. At your age, you need to take it easy. I'm afraid if I say a few more words, you'll faint right there."
Hearing Hailong's words, Li Wanhao, who had been extremely agitated just now, was so angry that his nose almost smoked. In his agitation, Li Wanhao had momentarily lost control of his emotions and released his full aura. However, seeing Hailong's indifferent appearance, Li Wanhao was extremely surprised. The reason Li Wanhao could dominate the business world for decades was precisely because of his unique aura, which was as imposing as Mount Tai, creating a sense of oppression that not only won him the favor of many important figures but also deeply frightened his enemies. Among those who negotiated with Li Wanhao face-to-face, few could withstand his aura. Of course, those who could withstand it would generally achieve great things in the future. Li Wanhao never expected that his aura would be ineffective against Hailong today.
Seeing Hailong's smiling face, Li Wanhao said helplessly, "I'm old, not as strong as I used to be. My aura doesn't work on you, a young kid. Go on, I'm fine."
Li Wanhao's wife, holding Chen Xiaoya's hand, scolded Li Wanhao, "Hailong is fine, but look at how you scared Xiaoya. You're so old, yet you can't control your temper."
Li Wanhao turned to look at Chen Xiaoya and found that she was so frightened that she didn't know how to speak. He quickly comforted her.
Seeing Li Wanhao's aura dissipate, Chen Xiaoya shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Although her uncle's aura had been terrifying, making her heart race, seeing Hailong's appearance made her even more angry. Unable to tolerate Hailong's disrespect to her uncle, she revealed Hailong's background.
She said to Li Wanhao, "Uncle, it's not that you're old, but this kid is just too powerful. Recently, one of the four major criminal organizations in Donghai City, Guan Dachun, and his cousin Guan Dahai, along with their entire core group, were killed by this kid or his subordinates. We just don't have the evidence yet, but I can be sure that this kid was the mastermind behind it." Chen Xiaoya was determined that Hailong was responsible for this, no matter what.
Li Wanhao, surprised, said with interest, "Kid, tell me, what exactly happened? Is what Xiaoya said true?"
With the deaths of Guan Dachun, Guan Dahai, and their subordinates, there was no one left to dispute the matter, so Hailong didn't care.
Leaning on the armrest of the sofa, Hailong said with a smile to Chen Xiaoya and Li Wanhao, "If that's what you feel, then let it be. After all, what people do is watched by heaven. Some people, when it's their time to die, will be taken by someone on behalf of heaven." Hailong's words were essentially an indirect admission that he was the mastermind.
Hailong's words left Chen Xiaoya and Li Wanhao, among others, astonished. Li Wanhao said, "Kid, no wonder you're not afraid of my aura. You're much tougher than I am. But I believe you're not a bad person. With my years of experience in judging people, I believe you must have your own reasons."
Li Wanhao was truly surprised. As the richest man in Donghai City, with friends in all levels of society, Li Wanhao had some knowledge of Guan Dachun. Guan Dachun was known to have 300 subordinates and countless killers. He never expected that Hailong, a first-year college student, could organize people to kill a criminal boss who had dominated Donghai City for over a decade.
Hailong gave Li Wanhao a thumbs up and said, "Old man Li, you have good judgment. I won't go into the details of my grudge with him. Let's talk about the giant jellyfish instead."
Hearing this, Li Wanhao and Chen Xiaoya immediately forgot about Guan Dachun.
Hailong said with a smile, "Old man, you should know that I made my money by selling crabs from the Devil Sea. So, I'll tell you a secret: I have a way to enter the Devil Sea, and the giant jellyfish is hidden there."
Hearing this, Li Wanhao immediately said to his secretary, "Contact the explosives company immediately. I want to blow up the Devil Sea." The old man's authority was impressive, startling Hailong. If Li Wanhao really decided to blow up the Devil Sea, it would be a lose-lose situation. Even if Li Wanhao invested all his wealth, it would be useless. In the past, many companies hired engineering teams to try to blast the Devil Sea, but the strong winds and waves on the sea surface made it impossible to get close. Besides, the poison sac was still in the underwater canyon, and the giant jellyfish's body had not been moved. Since the Dragon King occupied the underwater canyon, no fish dared to come near. Hailong could guarantee that the poison sac was still on the giant jellyfish's body in the underwater canyon, and he could easily control the Dragon King to retrieve it.
Seeing Li Wanhao's subordinates about to call the explosives company, Hailong quickly stopped Li Wanhao, saying, "Old man, don't get so worked up. First, you can't flatten the Devil Sea. Many people have tried, but they couldn't even get close. Don't waste your effort. Second, the giant jellyfish is dead, and the poison sac is inside its body. If you want it, I'll go to the Devil Sea tomorrow and bring the poison sac back for you."
Hearing this, Li Wanhao, his wife, and Chen Xiaoya were all extremely excited. Chen Xiaoya even said excitedly, "Hailong, if you can really help my uncle detoxify, I guarantee that no one will dare to investigate your killing of Guan Dachun and Guan Dahai."
Seeing Chen Xiaoya's sudden outburst, Hailong said with a smile, "Even if I tell you I did it, you won't find any evidence. They're all dead. Who are you going to find?"
Li Wanhao said excitedly, "Good kid, if you can bring back the poison sac for me, whatever conditions you set, I'll agree to them."
Hailong waved his hand and said, "Old man, our meeting is a matter of fate. When I see you and Hu Jing, I see you and your wife when you were young. I hope Hu Jing and I can grow old together like you two. The first time I invited you to eat crabs, and the second time you helped me get rid of Sun Bo, who was pursuing Hu Jing, we didn't do it to repay favors. We just liked each other. So, don't talk about conditions. That would hurt our relationship."
Hearing this, Li Wanhao apologized repeatedly, saying, "I'm old and confused. Let's not talk about it." Li Wanhao knew that Hailong wasn't short of money, and the so-called conditions were just about money. But since Hailong wasn't short of money, there was no need to talk about conditions.
