Urban God-level Youth

The experiment was done, and Qin Hao asked, "Any problems with mass production?"

An old expert replied, "Mr. Qin, there's no problem with that. It's just that the procedures are a bit complicated; the raw materials are not very rare."

Qin Hao said, "Then let's acquire a factory and start mass production. Mr. Su, come over for a moment, I need to speak with you."

He walked out of the laboratory and entered Su Jiayi's office.

When Su Jiayi came in, Qin Hao closed the door of the office and turned to look at her without saying a word.

With a puzzled look in her eyes, Su Jiayi asked him, "Mr. Qin, is there something you need me for? If there's something, just say it."

Qin Hao said with a smile, "You should be very clear about what I want from you."

Su Jiayi's face changed, and she glared at him angrily, "What do you mean? I'm also one of the company's directors. Why are you interrogating me? I'm not your prisoner. If you dare to question me again, don't blame me for not being polite to you."

Qin Hao's expression didn't change; he somewhat admired Su Jiayi's acting skills. This year's Oscar for Best Actress should be yours.

He looked at Su Jiayi and said, "I would like to see how you're going to be impolite to me."

Su Jiayi gave him a sly grin and suddenly kicked at him. The kick was swift and fierce, catching one off guard. If it had been anyone else, they might have been hit, but Qin Hao was no ordinary man, and he quickly caught Su Jiayi's ankle.

Her leg was lifted perfectly, resting on Qin Hao's shoulder. Fortunately, she was wearing super short hot pants. If it had been a skirt, she probably would have exposed herself.

Struggling, Su Jiayi tried to shake her leg free, but her ankle was clamped tight as if in a vise, not budging at all.

Qin Hao looked at her with a smirk as she stared back at him. "Let go of me this instant."

Qin Hao spoke indifferently, "Miss Su, stop pretending. I know what you've been up to. Hand over the formula for the life potion."

Su Jiayi's brows knitted slightly. "What life potion formula? I don't know what you're talking about. You never gave it to me."

Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Qin Hao scoffed. "Don't think that I don't know what you've been doing these past days. Hand it over."

Su Jiayi replied calmly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Qin Hao slightly increased his grip on her ankle. "Miss Su, don't force me to take action."

Embarrassed and angry, Su Jiayi said, "Let go of me. I don't know about any formula."

Qin Hao sneered. "If you don't hand it over, I might have to search myself."

Su Jiayi suddenly reached out and slapped at Qin Hao's face. He let go of her foot and caught her wrist, then grabbed her other hand and pinned her down on the office desk.

He held Su Jiayi's two wrists with one hand, and to prevent her from kicking, Qin Hao also got control of her legs.

Qin Hao searched the pockets on the back of her shorts but found nothing. She had two more pockets in front, and still, Qin Hao found nothing.

"You jerk, let go of me. I'll tell my grandfather about this," Su Jiayi said through gritted teeth.

Without finding what he wanted in her pockets, Qin Hao asked, "Where did you put it?"

Su Jiayi didn't say a word, feeling somewhat shocked in her heart. How did Qin Hao know? Could someone from the lab have betrayed her? That seemed unlikely, considering those were people she had brought in herself.

But how did Qin Hao find out? She thought she covered her tracks perfectly, and even sophisticated surveillance wouldn't have revealed anything.

...

Qin Hao said, "Miss Su, I'll give you one last chance. Will you talk or not?"

Still, Su Jiayi said nothing. Qin Hao looked at her graceful back, contemplating. Rough interrogation would definitely not work, and neither would scolding.

At times like this, special measures are needed. Even though they might be underhanded and despicable, they would certainly be effective.

Qin Hao said, "Miss Su, don't blame me for being impolite."

"What are you going to do, you bastard? If you dare to touch me, I'll kill you," Su Jiayi said with panicked eyes and teeth clenched.

Seeing that she still kept silent...

Qin Hao's heart hardened, and he said with a sneer, "Miss Su, this is your last chance."

Su Jiayi bit down hard, still not speaking. She believed that given her status, Qin Hao wouldn't dare do anything serious—her grandfather was a person of great influence.

The fact that Qin Hao didn't resort to harsh interrogation proved it; he wouldn't dare to harm her. He was just trying to scare her.

...

More than an hour later, peace was restored in the room.

He handed her some tissues. "Let's leave it at that for this time."

After speaking, Qin Hao left the office. He suspected that Su Jiayi might have given the formula to her grandfather.

Would she tell her grandfather about this? If she did, it could be dangerous for himself.

Qin Hao returned to the seaside villa complex and just as he got out of the car, he saw Zhao Yuying.

Zhao Yuying ran over with a smile and hugged his arm. "My parents want to meet you. They already know about us."

Qin Hao was taken aback. "Did your uncle and aunt gossip about you?"

"No, let's go," Zhao Yuying said cheerfully, pleased that they could now be openly together.

Qin Hao entered Zhao Yuying's family villa, where Zhao Xingbo and his wife were playing with their dogs—a Golden Retriever, a Samoyed, and a Husky.

"Xiao Hao is here. Please, have a seat," Zhao Xingbo quickly got up and said.

Nowadays, Qin Hao's fame and status were very high, not just in Xuan Country, but all over the world, there were hardly any who didn't know his name, though not many could remember his face.
