▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
Regarding Song Banxian's well-intentioned advice, Huang Biao sneered, "Even if that little girl has some abilities, she can't change the world!"
He had not been idle all these years; it was easy to deal with a girl using certain means.
Upon hearing this, Song Banxian's face turned cold, "Boss Huang, mark my words, one day you'll regret your loose tongue. You should know that many things and people in this world can't be judged solely by appearances. Don't underestimate Daoist Qin just because she's young. Even I have to show her some respect!"
Huang Biao was the type who didn't respond well to soft approaches. If someone showed him a little kindness, he would become arrogant. But if confronted with firmness, his heart would immediately waver.
"Fine, boss Huang, I'll leave you here. Let's not meet again!"
Song Banxian walked the person out about ten meters away before turning back to his stall.
Huang Mao, standing beside Huang Biao, muttered in a low voice, "What's with his arrogance? He's just an old man begging for money on the bridge! Boss, should I bring the guys and destroy his stall? Maybe we can also bring that girl from earlier, tie her up and present her to you?"
"Smack!"
As soon as Huang Mao finished speaking, Huang Biao raised his hand and slapped him on the head.
"Are you out of your mind? Song Banxian is renowned in this field. I sought him out today to test him. That old man has some abilities. Don't go stirring up trouble for no reason!"
Huang Mao wore a look of grievance, "Why didn't you say that earlier? I thought that old man was just a swindler."
"If he were a swindler, how would he have known that I was set up today?"
Huang Biao knocked him on the head again, then turned and walked away, his figure carrying a hint of desolation.
After all these years, it seemed he really had to retire.
He had made a fair amount of money over the years, enough to live a luxurious life in his remaining years.
Though his hands were somewhat stained with blood, he had never committed unforgivable crimes like murder and arson.
Now, by retiring at this point, he could consider his mission accomplished and bow out gracefully.
As the group of four walked along the road, passing through a small alley, a figure suddenly darted out.
The other party had come prepared, knocking out the two strong men by Huang Biao's side first, then turning to pummel Huang Biao mercilessly.
Huang Mao was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Hearing the agonizing cries of his boss, Huang Biao, he quickly regained his senses and scanned his surroundings. He spotted a stick in the corner and rushed forward to rescue his boss.
Raising the stick in his hand, Huang Mao swung it fiercely at the man who was attacking Huang Biao from behind.
The man who was beating Huang Biao seemed to have eyes on his back. He skillfully dodged the blow.
Swiftly, he stretched out his long leg and kicked Huang Biao, who was protecting his head, several meters away.
Ignoring his boss for the moment, Huang Mao continued to swing the stick, launching another attack on the man.
The man stood in the dim light, making it difficult to see his face.
As Huang Mao charged forward, the man extended his long leg and kicked him, causing Huang Mao to fall to the ground.
Muffled sounds echoed in the dim alley, accompanied
by wailing cries of pain. The sounds fluctuated, and passersby who heard it thought it was a ghostly commotion, hastening their steps and leaving.
After a few minutes, a tall man dressed in black emerged from the alley.
He stood at the entrance, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped away the blood stains on his hands.
With sharp eyes, he glanced at Qin Ruan's stall and immediately averted his gaze.
He lifted his foot and walked towards the barbecue stall that was close to Qin Ruan's booth.
As he enjoyed the delicious food Hou Chuan, a shadow fell before his eyes. With a skewer of fish in his mouth, he looked up and saw Lin Hao's cold, determined, and handsome face.
Hou Chuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he smiled and asked him, "Is it taken care of?"
"Yeah," Lin Hao replied, sitting across from Hou Chuan.
Hou Chuan's gaze swept toward the nearby alley and, after observing for a while without seeing anyone coming out, he asked Lin Hao, "No casualties, right?"
After all, Lin Hao wasn't part of the Hou family, and they hadn't worked together before, so there was still some doubt about the extent to which he would act.
Lin Hao sneered, "Nobody died, but it will take a hundred days to recover from the injuries."
"Good then!" Hou Chuan sighed in relief and continued eating the skewer in his hand.
Meanwhile, Lin Hao picked up the chilled beer from the table, with droplets of water on the bottle. Ignoring the dampness on his hand, he brought the bottle to his mouth and took big gulps.
Sitting opposite him, Hou Chuan couldn't help but envy his enthusiasm for drinking. He had to drive his Master's wife home later, and if his master found out he had been drinking, he would be in trouble.
Noticing Hou Chuan's envious look, Lin Hao drank even more vigorously, making sounds of great enjoyment.
Hou Chuan looked at him with a pitiful expression and said, "Come on, don't tease me like this. I can't even remember how long it's been since I had a drink."
Lin Hao smirked, "The Hou family is so strict? They don't even let you drink?"
Shaking his head, Hou Chuan replied, "The masters don't restrict us from drinking, but ever since his wife arrived, these past few months haven't been as easy as before. When we're with the masters, it's best to avoid alcohol."
Lin Hao sarcastically smiled, "Seems like there are a lot of rules."
Hou Chuan didn't like the tone of his words and asked, "What about the Su family? Can you drink as much as you want there?"
At the mention of the Su family, Lin Hao's face turned sour, "No one cares."
That woman, Su Jingshu, aside from thinking of him when she was lonely, usually left him to his own devices.
Thinking of this woman, Lin Hao's face turned as black as coal.
Hou Chuan didn't notice the change in his mood and spoke earnestly, "The Hou family is different from the Su family. In the future, you'll be by the Madam's side, so you must be careful with your words and actions. Enjoy today, but starting tomorrow, you should follow my example and refrain from making certain mistakes when you're with the masters. The consequences are beyond your imagination."
"So many damn rules!" Lin Hao ate meat and drank heavily, seeming indifferent, but he had already taken Hou Chuan's words to heart.
The Hou family was his refuge, so it would be wise to restrain himself.
The two sat at the barbecue stall, eating while keeping an eye on Qin Ruan's safety.
They had witnessed Huang Biao's harassment of Madam before, which led to Lin Hao teaching him a lesson.
Lin Hao threw the skewer stick on the table after finishing his meal, gazing at Qin Ruan's booth with a confused and puzzled expression. "Why did Qin... Madam still set up a booth? Does Third Young Master know about this?"
Without looking up, Hou Chuan replied, "This is the first time that Madam has set up a booth in these past few months. Third Young Master only found out tonight."
Lin Hao could tell that how, just like them, had only learned about Qin Ruan setting up a booth tonight.
He stared at Hou Chuan, his brows furrowed. "Did you tell Third Young Master?"
"Yeah," Hou Chuan answered honestly.
Noticing the unfriendly gaze of Lin Hao, Hou Chuan raised his eyes and smirked slightly, "What? Just because you and the madam are acquainted, you think you can meddle?"
Lin Hao frowned and asked, "Does the madam know that the third young master has sent people to monitor her?"
Hou Chuan shrugged with a hint of irony and said, "How is that monitoring? I simply inform the third young master about the madam's itinerary and have the undercover agents of the Hou family on standby, ready to act if any danger befalls the madam."
Lin Hao sneered, unable to agree, "Sounds nice, but it's still surveillance."
Hou Chuan looked helpless and smiled, shaking his head, "You clearly haven't had any contact with the inner core of the Su family while you were at the Su residence. Among the four major families and six prestigious families in the capital, the master's itinerary is never a secret to their own household. Every journey they take is accompanied by unknown dangers.
Even if Su Jingshu comes to the Hou residence today, how many Su family bodyguards are there around the Hou family? She is now the most influential figure in the Su family, and the entire Su family values her greatly.
The young madam is currently of utmost importance to the Hou family, and every time she goes out, first-level emergency measures are activated. Even the patriarch of the family does not receive such treatment."
Lin Hao blinked at the words, his expression astonished.
