NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Threat from the Protagonist! Xu Hao’s Ruthless Methods:
The dinner date was set.
Soon, the bell for the class rang.
Wang Xueying bid farewell to Xu Hao and hurried off to class. Her figure was enchanting.
Beside her, Chen Mo held a bouquet of flowers, looking displeased.
Xu Hao’s sudden arrival ruined his plan to give flowers to Teacher Wang.
Seeing Xu Hao about to leave, he immediately spoke up.
“Hold on.”
“Teacher Wang is my relative. If you dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about her, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
He had clearly heard their conversation just now.
Even though it was about her daughter’s studies, inviting Teacher Wang to lunch was to express gratitude. But Chen Mo always felt this guy wasn’t up to any good…
Thinking of when he saw Xia Qingge a couple of days ago, this guy had been there too, leaving Chen Mo with a very unpleasant feeling.
That’s why he had to step in and give him a warning. Wang Xueying was the kindest person to him, and he wouldn’t allow her to be harmed in any way.
“Student, aren’t you overthinking this?”
“I invited Teacher Wang to lunch just to express my gratitude for taking care of my daughter.”
Xu Hao smiled as he looked at the protagonist before him.
In fact, he was a natural villain, even if it was a well-intentioned initiative.
Although his feelings weren’t wrong…
“That’s for the best. If I find out that you have any ill intentions towards Teacher Wang, hmph…”
Chen Mo snorted and stomped the ground forcefully.
When he moved his foot away, a footprint was left on the hard surface.
[Ding! Chen Mo’s anger is surging. You obtained 333 Emotion Points]
Xu Hao’s expression remained unchanged. He gave him a deep look, then turned and left.
Did he think he could threaten him?
He was no longer afraid of this protagonist. Dealing with him would only depend on when he decided to take action.
Xu Hao wasn’t in a hurry. He didn’t want to use his open connections, as that might lead to the collapse of his public image.
Besides, the protagonist had an aura of destiny, so he might not necessarily be able to get rid of him.
It was better to deal with these matters quietly…
At the moment, the only person he could use was Old Mo, but he estimated he wasn’t this guy’s match.
The Blood Butcher Society he established wasn’t powerful enough.
“It’s just that there are too few useful people…”
Xu Hao sighed.
He would take it slow. He had a system, and everything would get better…
When Xu Hao arrived at the company, Li Kun handed him a document.
Inside were the details collected by Old Mo about those three shareholders.
Xu Hao picked it up and flipped through it.
[Li Ping, husband works in a state-owned factory.]
[Has a delinquent son who is idle all day, always gambling. He has been caught gambling with a group several times.]
“Gambles a lot?”
Xu Hao suddenly had an idea.
If Li Ping’s son liked gambling so much, he’d let him gamble to his heart’s content.
He planned to have the Blood Butcher Society organize a gambling session and make the other party accumulate a huge debt…
When these thugs came to collect the debt, Li Ping would have no choice but to hand over her shares.
Next was Lu Qinghong.
Seeing Xu Hao make a fortune in the real estate industry, he registered a small company.
However, he lacked Xu Hao’s ruthlessness and decisiveness, causing his company to struggle to take off.
He could only drink the soup left by the Xu Company…
Xu Hao didn’t even need to think about dealing with this guy.
He would follow the protagonist’s method in the novel and find some evidence of crimes in the opponent’s company.
He could ruin him without doing anything.
What?
Lu Qinghong’s company always followed the law?
No accidents?
Then he could create one. A little accident would be so easy…
Xu Hao felt no burden about getting rid of these people. If he didn’t deal with them now, they would sell him out when the protagonist returned.
If it weren’t for his suspicion on these three people, he wouldn’t have planned to kill like this.
The first two would be easy to handle. The last one, Zheng Xuelin, would be a bit troublesome.
There was no loophole to exploit.
He had no industries under his command, having invested all his funds. He had a son who had been missing since he was a child…
And Zheng Xuelin was a stubborn character.
It would be difficult to get shares from him.
Unless he died…
After thinking about it for a while, if only one of the three people died, they probably couldn’t trace it back to him.
After all, he had cultivated his reputation for many years. Xu Hao thought it was feasible.
But these three shareholders couldn’t have accidents at the same time, so he decided to deal with the first two first.
He found Li Kun and let him pass the order to Old Mo…
(The Shanghai University)
Xu Shiqing and Xu Hua walked to the activity center carrying a bag containing their painting board.
Knock, knock…
They knocked on an office door.
With a “come in” from inside, the sisters pushed the door open and walked in.
A middle-aged woman with glasses sat behind the desk.
Seeing that it was just this sister duo, a smile finally appeared on her usually stern face.
“Shiqing, have you finished the painting?”
The school’s annual painting exhibition was under her supervision.
She had seen Xu Shiqing’s painting skills before and had high expectations of her winning the championship in this activity.
“Teacher Zhang, we brought it…”
Xu Shiqing responded.
She took the painting board out of the bag and placed it in front of the female teacher.
Teacher Zhang nodded and smiled. She then adjusted her glasses and looked at the painting before her.
However, after just one glance, she was stunned.
It was a painting of the setting sun.
She had only taken one look, and a magnificent atmosphere overwhelmed her.
The falling sun, the solitary duck, the autumn water, and the vast sky all created a grand autumn scene.
Unbelievable—
Such a beautiful scene was completely portrayed with just a paintbrush.
Such painting skills reached an extraordinary level…
She was already confident that Xu Shiqing would win first place in the compitition, but now it seemed she had underestimated her.
Even if she put it in a national competition, there wouldn’t be many people who could compete.
Excited, Teacher Zhang tightly held the painting board, her eyes wide open, not missing even a tiny detail.
“Good, very good, excellent…”
After a while, she calmed down from the excitement.
Looking at the sister duo as if she were looking at treasures.
“We don’t need to wait for the other submissions. I now declare that you two are the champions of this competition!”
