Looking at the black face in front of him, Xu Hao couldn't help but secretly cursed "Shabi".

A smile appeared on his face, and he even reached out and patted his confidant on the shoulder:

"I understand, A Le, you did a great job. I will call the gang leader myself later to explain everything clearly."

Although I was a little unhappy with my little brother who had no eyesight, I still patiently praised him a few times.

Then, in order to lie and save some face, Xu Hao cleared his throat and began to brag about how he "heroically" escaped last night.

"Speaking of which, East City Association's grandsons only have a little ability to sneak around, and there are more than a dozen of them surrounding me. Humph, I still knocked half of them down!"

"I hit them with my fists like Iron Hammer. Their fists were as soft as Cotton. They all knew how to cry for father and mother."

"In the end, I couldn't beat them. Those grandsons had no choice but to try to hit me with their car. Damn it, they didn't even look at my speed!"

He slapped his thigh suddenly, spittle flying:

"When I run, it's like flying! My two legs can run faster than their broken wheels. They are eating dust behind them and can't catch up with Rehu. Haha, there's no way they can catch up..."

At this point, Xu Hao's laughter suddenly paused, but the scene he really experienced last night flashed through his mind involuntarily:

I woke up leisurely in a speeding car and saw through the rear window the white-faced Ghostly Shadow that was chasing after me and was too fast to be human...

A chill instantly ran from the tailbone to the back of the head, and Xu Hao couldn't help but shudder.

The muscles of the freshly bandaged wound also twitched, causing him to hiss in pain.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong with you? Did I try too hard?"

Xiao Qing asked nervously immediately.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Xu Hao quickly covered it up, grinned, and forced the subject back to the topic:

"I thought about how good it was to beat those grandsons, and I got a little excited and it hurt me."

After treating the injury, Xu Hao yawned widely, rubbed his eyes and waved to everyone:

"Okay, let's go. Go and do whatever you have to do. I'm almost exhausted after spending the whole night last night, so I need to get some sleep to catch up on my sleep."

Although the younger brothers wanted to say something more, seeing that the boss looked really tired, they did not dare to say any more, so they all responded and left.

Xiao Qing also turned around and said a few words, then left reluctantly, closing the door of the lounge behind him.

The room finally became completely quiet.

The deliberately pretended relaxation on Xu Hao's face instantly faded away, replaced by solemnity and unconcealable irritability.

He sat back on the sofa and was silent for a few seconds before taking out his cell phone, taking a deep breath and dialing Red Tiger Gang Leader Chen Chen.

After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up, and a capable and dignified male voice came:

"Hello, A Hao?"

"Brother Chen, it's me."

Xu Hao's tone immediately became much more serious.

"Well, I heard you had some trouble last night?"

Chen Chen seemed to ask casually, but there was not much emotion in his voice.

"Yes, Brother Chen."

Xu Hao calmed down and began to tell the compiled version, but his tone was much more restrained, and he did not dare to be as exaggerated as when he was bragging to his younger brother.

"After finishing work last night, two tough guys sneaked into Bar, like professional Assassin. I was unprepared, and they knocked me out with electric batons. When I woke up, I was taken to a broken house in the suburbs."

He paused and continued to make up lies;

"Later I found a chance, I broke away from the rope, had a fight with the two guys, and finally escaped. Although I suffered some skin injuries, it was nothing serious and has been taken care of."

Xu Hao said, grinning and making a "hiss" sound, indicating that he was indeed injured.

Try your best to make your description sound like a near-miss encounter, hoping to make the matter go away, at least without letting the gang leader delve deeper into it.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before he slowly spoke.

"Confirm who did it?"

"While I was pretending to be unconscious, I heard them talking and mentioned the names East City Association and Shen Wei."

Xu Hao threw the pot away without hesitation.

"East City Association..."

Chen Chen's voice suddenly turned cold. "Hmph, Old Ghost Shen has been a little restless recently. Okay, as long as everything is fine."

Xu Hao heard this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the gang leader was not suspicious for the time being.

Chen Chen didn't ask for too many details, and his tone immediately softened:

"East City Association and Old Ghost Shen will have to settle the accounts with them sooner or later, but there is no rush."

Then the conversation changed, with a hint of knocking:

"Now the Eastern Capital ground is not peaceful, the wind is tight, and the police are closely watching. If our two Gangs really go all out, they will definitely be arrested as examples."

"They are targeting you secretly this time. I think they probably want to send you in and get rid of you with the help of the note. You are a valued talent in the gang, so you can't fall into their trap."

"A Hao, do you understand what I mean? Bear with me for a while. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. There will be plenty of opportunities to get back the capital and profits in the future."

Chen Chen specially said a few words of comfort, and seemed to be extremely thoughtful and thoughtful.

"Understood!"

Xu Hao immediately expressed his position categorically:

"Brother Chen Don't worry, although I am a newcomer with little experience, I also know the rules and will never cause trouble to the gang!"

But in my heart, I wish that this matter could just end now. It would be best if Chen Chen would not ask for details anymore.

"Well, it's good that you know what's appropriate."

Chen Chen seemed to be quite satisfied with his attitude. He paused and then mentioned it casually:

"By the way, you should keep a low profile recently, keep a close eye on the mouths of those boys under your command, and don't go around fooling around."

"I will help you suppress what happened last night, so that no one will gossip about it and spread it to the ears of the guys above, which will give you a bad impression."

Xu Hao's heart felt "thumping" again.

Before I could think through the deeper meaning of these words, the other end of the phone hung up.

He was sitting on the sofa blankly with his beeping cell phone in hand.

I just breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more irritable.

What Chen Chen said just now, did he really believe his own explanation, or was he trying to test him and deliberately show his favor to win over him?

Xu Hao frowned, threw the phone on the sofa, and rubbed his aching temples.

Although he used his intelligence and wisdom to expend a lot of words, he was able to temporarily get over the fatal problem.

But everything that happened last night was like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from.

Special Search Team, Noah Organization, White-Faced Monster, and that That Bastard Inspector Gao...

Trouble comes one after another, and you can't get rid of it.

I feel like I have fallen into a huge quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper.

"Damn it, I just want to get ahead in this promising career Gangster, why did I become Traitor..."

Xu Hao couldn't help lowering his voice and cursed.

Then he took out the cigarette case from his pocket, shook out a cigarette, lit it, and took a long puff.

In the smoke, his face looked uncertain.

What Xu Hao is really worried about is not the gang leader Chen Chen himself, but the huge Shadows behind Red Tiger Gang who really controls everything.

Although he boasts that his fighting power is extraordinary now, facing such an organization, his personal power is still as small as an ant.

What's more, my extraordinary abilities are all thanks to that organization.

"Forget it, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, I don't believe in this evil!"

Xu Hao cursed and blew out a smoke ring, squinted his eyes and started calculating.

We need to sort out this mess right now--

Special Search Team needs to be on guard over there, the gang needs to be stable, and Noah Organization needs to beware of those crazy people...

The room was quiet except for his own breathing and the slight buzzing of the old Air Conditioner.

However, at this moment, a feeling of being spied on climbed up his back without any warning, making all the muscles in his body tense instantly.

Wrong!

This room... was a little too quiet.

Moreover, it seemed that... there was an extremely weak but real sound of breathing.

Xu Hao opened his eyes suddenly, and turned his neck stiffly, bit by bit, to the darkest corner of the room like a rusty machine.

In the depths of that Shadows, at some point, an extra figure appeared!

Xu Hao's pupils suddenly shrank, and his hair stood on end.

The other party was actually able to hide his proud perception ability and invade this place silently.

"You look like you're in trouble."

A dull voice sounded, breaking the dead silence of the room.

That figure just stood quietly, like Ghost integrated with Shadows.

Xu Hao My heart suddenly shrank and I almost jumped up from the sofa.

But when he saw the outline of the person's face clearly, especially the eyes that were still as sharp as an eagle in the darkness, he calmed down after being violently shocked.

He recognized the other person.

"It's you..."

Xu Hao subconsciously clenched his fists and asked calmly:

"How did you get in?"

Xu Hao clearly remembers that the door is locked and his little brother is guarding it outside.

"If you want to come in, just come in."

Fang Cheng answered casually, with a calm tone as if he was discussing the weather outside.

The Fang Cheng at this moment is completely different from the God of Slaughter wearing White Mask last night.

He did not wear Duckbill Cap on his head, but changed into a slightly fluffy and short black wig, covering the eye-catching Bald Head.

Wearing a brand new set of Gray Tracksuit and a pair of white Running Shoes, he looks like an ordinary young man who has just finished exercising.

However, the confidence and strength Aura that radiated from his bones still radiated out vaguely.

Xu Hao looked at him with doubtful eyes and did not immediately call the younger brother outside.

He knew very well that the total number of people outside might not be enough to fight the man in front of him with one hand.

Moreover, since the other party was able to sneak in here quietly, he was obviously well prepared.

"What did you come to see me for?"

Xu Hao asked in a deep voice, trying to take the initiative in the conversation.

Fang Cheng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the topic:

"Last time at the door of Club, you said someone was secretly investigating me. Can you tell me who it is now?"

Xu Hao Hearing this, an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.

Then he grinned, showing his white teeth, with a bit of a rogue tone:

"It's not impossible to tell you. But, again, you have to agree to a condition first."

Fang Cheng's eyes were calm and calm:

"The condition you mentioned last time was just for me to give you Fist and Foot Techniques guidance. I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

"Hey, it saves trouble talking to smart people!"

The smile on Xu Hao's face deepened. He immediately sat up straight, nodded and said:

"That's right, tutoring in kung fu is just a cover. My real condition is--

He paused, his Adam's apple rolled, and he deliberately lowered his voice:

"I want to know if there is an organization or force behind you? Have you found the right way to solve the side effects of pushing your body beyond its limits?"

After asking these questions, he stared at Fang Cheng, his eyes filled with some kind of longing.

What Xu Hao is pursuing is obviously not Divine Skill Manual, but a method that can alleviate the increasingly serious mental erosion and irritable emotions caused by the power in his body.

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, then he shook his head and said indifferently:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm used to being alone."

"Fart!"

Xu Hao slapped the armrest of the sofa suddenly, obviously not believing it:

"Do you think I don't know your details and am deliberately trying to scare you?"

"I have read information about you. You single-handedly defeated dozens of Red Tiger Gang members without any injuries, and even broke the bones in their legs by kicking them."

"That kind of speed, that kind of power, you are not an ordinary person at all. You, like me, are definitely strengthened after participating in Human Modification Experiment!"

"But why... why do you look like a normal person and live like a normal person?!"

His voice was trembling with excitement, and he couldn't help but let out some hints.

After hearing what Xu Hao said, Fang Cheng suddenly understood:

"Is the organization you join called Noah?"

Xu Hao heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then he became a little frustrated:

"Fuck! So you already knew? I still want to use this as a bargaining chip..."

He scratched his hair irritably, feeling that his carefully prepared trump card suddenly lost its effect.

Fang Cheng looked at him, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth, but his tone was still calm:

"Your chips are indeed useless, now it's my turn to offer them."

Then his body leaned forward slightly, his gaze piercing Xu Hao like a sharp blade:

"You were with Special Search Team last night, right?"

"Tell me, if I tell Red Tiger Gang's gang leader Chen Chen about the secret collusion between you and Official Organization, what will he think? How will Red Tiger Gang deal with you, a guy who cheats on others?"

The blood on Xu Hao's face instantly faded completely, and he stared at Fang Cheng as if he had seen a ghost:

"You... how did you know?!"

Fang Cheng knew in his heart that he had guessed correctly.

Special Search Team secretly took away Xu Hao last night, and secretly put Xu Hao back in the morning. Moreover, just now Xu Hao lied to his younger brother and gang leader.

Is there something fishy about this?

With a little thought, you can guess that the two parties must have reached some kind of ulterior deal.

However, Fang Cheng did not answer, but looked at Xu Hao with an enigmatic look.

That look seemed to say: I know more than you think.

Seeing that his biggest secret was exposed, Xu Hao's eyes instantly became fierce.

He suddenly grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it at Fang Cheng without thinking.

Smoke and ash spilled out, forming a large fog in the air, blocking sight.

At the same time, he jumped up from the sofa like a cheetah, made a fist with his other hand, and hit Fang Cheng's face with a sharp wind.

Damn it, strike first!

We are all reformers, who is afraid of whom?

Xu Hao's eyes flashed with fierceness.

However--

Fang Cheng's figure slid back like a ghost, and the cigarette ashes Xu Hao spilled didn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

Then, just as Xu Hao's fist was about to touch his face, a hand reached out as fast as lightning and grabbed his throat accurately and powerfully!
