Chapter 157 Qin Haoâs miscalculation
Seeing Liu Yanâs anxious look, Qin Hao frowned. This old fellow already called him early in the morning to urge him back. He did not need to rush him so much. âAnswer him that I still have things to take care of. I will go back after that.â
âWellâŚyes âŚâ Liu Yan originally wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw Qin Haoâs darkened face, she did not dare to say another word, and immediately followed his orders and left. She also knew that Qin Hao did have a lot of things to do, firstly, the matter of An Ru. An Ruâs case had not been settled well, who knows what he did when he went out last night. He only brought back a dying person, who knew how heâs doing right now, itâs probably another troublesome matter.
Things happened one after another, she was really worried that Qin Hao would spend seven or eight days here. That would surely drive Li Zhanwu crazy.
Sure enough, when she returned the call to Li Zhanwu and reported what had happened, Li Zhanwu immediately jumped up and roared: âNo, absolutely no. Go and tell him that he has to come back today, whatever it takes.â
Liu Yan laughed bitterly in her heart, wasnât this making things difficult for her? Both were her superiors, she dared to disobey neither of them. Besides, Qin Hao wouldnât listen to her, if he didnât want to go back, there was nothing she could do.
âGeneral, I told the instructor, but he said that he will only return when he is done with his matters. But he ⌠I, ah, I âŚâ Liu Yan did not know how to explain it, she wanted to tell the general to talk to Qin Hao by himself, but she did not have the guts to say it, she was not Qin Hao.
âAlas.â When Li Zhanwu heard her tone, he knew that he was making things difficult for this girl. He sighed helplessly and said, âGive the phone to him, Iâll tell him myself.â
âYes, sir.â Liu Yan agreed, but she was puzzled in her heart. Didnât he give Qin Hao a phone? Why didnât he call Qin Hao personally? What she didnât know was that that Qin Haoâs phone had to be on so that the general could call him directly.
Liu Yan knocked on Qin Haoâs door again. Once again, Qin Hao opened the door. Looking at Liu Yan, he asked curiously: âAnything else?â
âInstructor, General is on the phone, looking for you.â Liu Yan quickly handed the phone over to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao suspiciously took the phone, and before he could put it near his ear, Li Zhanwuâs loud voice came from inside, âQin Hao, Instructor Qin, didnât you say yesterday that you could come back today?â
After Qin Hao heard this, his face immediately turned ugly, âWell, well, well, Old Li, youâre urging me to die. Youâre already urging me to go back when itâs just dawn, stop urging me, I canât go back for now.â What can you do if I donât go back?
Li Zhanwu almost jumped up and cursed, but there was nothing he could do with someone like Qin Hao, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said: âQin Hao, listen to me. I have already reported what you told me yesterday to the higher-ups. The higher ups have agreed to let Sky Group face off against Dragon Group, and itâs scheduled on the first day of next month. The higher ups have great expectations for you, and we hope that you can lead Sky Group to suppress Dragon Groupâs arrogance. â
âIs that it? Okay, I got it.â Qin Hao did not really care about this, but Li Zhanwu started to get anxious.
âMy Instructor Qin, thereâs only one month left. Could you please have a little sense of time, and make good use of this time to increase the strength of the five of them. Otherwise, next monthâs confrontation will be the doomsday of Sky Group.â Li Zhanwuâs voice rose by a decibel, his tone becoming incomparably solemn.
Qin Hao sniffed, âItâs that serious?â
âWhat do you think?â Li Zhanwu really wanted to slap Qin Hao in his face. He really treated Dragon Group as ordinary people who could be killed with a slap, âAccording to what I know, Dragon Group can send experts all in the inner stage below the age of 40. Other than that, the Dragon Group could also ask the sects for help. By that time, it was even possible that they get a Perfection Stage Expert from the sects. As for the five people in your hands, Liu Yan is the strongest, and she is only in the Inner Stage. The others arenât even in Inner Stage, how will you fight against them then? â
âHiss âŚ!â Qin Hao inhaled a breath of cold air. He never thought that the Dragon Group would be able to ask the sects for help. If that was the case, then it was really possible that he might face Perfection Stage Experts sent by the Dragon Group. There was no Perfection Stage Expert below the age of 40 in Dragon Group, but it was hard to say for ancient martial sects. Wasnât Yun Yifei a twenty-year-old Perfection Stage Expert?
âOld Li, how can they ask the sects for help, itâs against the rules, it must be limited to members of the Dragon Group.â Qin Hao immediately said.
âHumph, what can we do if they say theyâre from the Dragon Group? The identity of a member of the Dragon Group isnât something that we decide. Itâs what they decide.â What Li Zhanwu said was the truth, because the Dragon Group was not a governmental department, they only cooperate with the country, their organization system was autonomous, so it was not good for others to interfere.
âF * ck!â Qin Hao cursed once, I f * cking miscalculated.
âNow you know how serious it is.â Honestly speaking, Li Zhanwu was a little regretful that he should not have gone crazy with Qin Hao yesterday and reported it to the superiors.
âAlright, I will buy some time and come back as soon as possible.â Qin Hao also understood how dangerous the situation was. He had proposed a battle of life and death, and if they were to meet Perfection Stage Experts, one of them would be able to kill all five of them. He would not take a ridiculous risk with the lives of the five people.
Li Zhanwu also recognized the heaviness in Qin Haoâs tone, and became even more anxious, âQin Hao, Liu Yan told me more or less about the things that you wanted to do. I have already reported this matter, and I believe that there will be a satisfactory answer soon. Dragon Group is really too lawless, who gave them the rights to seal a well-known entrepreneurâs house and enterprise, who gave them the right to detain her? âLi Zhanwu was furious. Outsiders didnât know, but Li Zhanwu did. Dragon Group didnât belong to the National Institution, so they had no right to do so.
It was just that over these years, due to the Dragon Groupâs special role and position, they had no choice but to tolerate them over and over again. As a result, the price for tolerating was that the Dragon Group became more and more arrogant, gaining more and more authority, extending their reach as well.
Similar things happened before, but as long as they did not go overboard or affect the overall situation, the higher-ups could only turn a blind eye to it. However, Dragon Groupâs actions in recent years had obviously made it more and more intolerable for the higher-ups, which was why the Sky Group was secretly born.
Other than that, Li Zhanwu had also reported one more thing. Itâs reported by Liu Yan that the Dragon Group had colluded with the Evil Sectâs Elysian Land Sect.
Compared to the matter of An Ru, this thing was more intolerable and had driven him furious. This was because tens of years ago, the harm is done to society by the Elysian Land Sect and the injuries inflicted on the hearts of countless girls still remained.
Hearing that Li Zhanwu wanted to help him settle the matter of An Ru, Qin Hao was naturally willing to accept, and immediately said: âAlright, Iâll wait for your good news.â
After he put down the phone, he told her to get two breakfasts when he returned the phone back to Liu Yan.
After Liu Yan left, he closed the door and turned back, only to discover that Ye Tianping, who was lying on the bed, had coughed a few times, as if he was about to wake up. He rushed over and called âUncle Ping, Uncle Ping!â
âCough, cough âŚâ Ye Tianping coughed as he slowly opened his eyes. The moment he saw Qin Hao, he could not believe his own eyes.
âLittle Hao, is, is that you?â
âItâs me.â Qin Hao quickly nodded his head. Seeing him wake up, he was delighted.
âYou, why are you here? Where, where am I?â Ye Tianping held his hands up, wanting to sit up. Qin Hao hurried to help him up.
âRight, where is my thing?â Ye Tianping suddenly thought of something, and immediately became agitated. He forcefully touched his chest a few times, and when he found that the thing was still there, he calmed down from his excitement and lightly exhaled. Itâs still there, thank god.
Qin Hao naturally knew that he was looking for the Medicine King Scripture, he just could not point it out, for Ye Tianping, he was naturally not willing to let others see such an important thing, it was the secret of his sect. Therefore, even if Qin Hao had already seen it, he would pretend that he hadnât.
âUncle Ping, whatâs so important that almost cost you your life?â Qin Hao deliberately asked like a fool.
Ye Tianping wanted to say something but hesitated. He didnât want to talk about this with Qin Hao and changed the topic, asking: âHow did I get here, and why are you here?â This question was simply a repetition of the one he asked before.
Qin Hao could only briefly explain what happened last night to dispel the suspicions in his heart. However, he did not say that he had killed the Black Elder and the White Elder. Even Ye Tianping would not believe that he had killed them, how could he be capable of killing Spirit Stage experts?
âLittle Hao, thank you for saving me. Alas, I owe your father my life, and now I owe you my life. I âŚâ Ye Tianping was filled with complicated feelings and did not know what to say. Thinking about how he basically did not have much care for Qin Hao in the past few years, he could not help but feel ashamed.
âUncle Ping, donât say these things. Take some good rest so you can recover soon. Oh, right, why are you alone, what happened to the people who followed you?â Qin Hao remembered that some people were following him when he was at Wuliu Town.
Mentioning the others, Ye Tianping immediately turned sorrowful. After a long while, he sighed heavily, âThey are all dead.â
Qin Hao also sighed, âUncle Ping, who did you provoke to be injured like this?â
When Ye Tianping heard this question, his face immediately showed fury,â Itâs Jinwu Sect that comes from the half ancient martial sects. One day, Medicine Sect will take back this place.â As he said that, Ye Tianpingâs body released a killing intent filled with hatred. With his brothers dead, the hatred in his heart was unimaginable.
At this moment, Liu Yan brought over breakfast. Qin Hao let Ye Tianping eat something, and after Qin Hao comforting him a little, Ye Tianping fell asleep again. His injuries were really too severe, and he needed more rest.
Ye Tianping quickly entered into a deep slumber. In his dream, he found himself in a dark valley filled with dense fog. With his sight blinded by the fog, he could not see the things around. He did not know why he was here. This place was very eerie, and he did not know what dangers were hiding in the places he could not see. All of this made him panic. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
As he groped his way toward the entrance of the valley, he heard a familiar voice.
âDaddy, Daddy, save me. Save me, Daddy.â
Whose voice was that? It was his daughter, Ye Siyu.
