Because his Rolls-Royce Phantom was flanked by two cars, the other party might not know his predicament.
Especially since there was a large bus parked across the road ahead, the opponents likely saw the bus and had stopped advancing.
“Miss, our car has stronger power. I’ll try to ram those two cars aside and see if we can get away,” Wang Bin said.
Wang Bin’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly; as an experienced driver, he was already silently calculating the escape route after breaking through the blockade!
However, neither the Buick nor the Wuling Hongguang drivers had disembarked, clearly on guard against Wang Bin trying to break free by ramming their vehicles.
What Wang Bin didn’t know was that Zhao Hu and others had already laid two rows of tyre spikes on the road behind them. If a car drove over them, its tyres would blow out, and even run-flat tyres would be useless.
Moreover, if the car was driven too fast, there was also a risk of flipping!
“If we are leaving, we should take Director Yang with us. It doesn’t make sense for just the two of us to run away!”
Ye Shuyuan was still very loyal; she hadn’t forgotten Yang Hao who had already got out of the car.
“Miss, we can leave first and then find someone to come back and save Director Yang. If we don’t leave now, none of us will escape!”
Wang Bin had been driving for Ye Jianye for twenty years, and had watched Ye Shuyuan grow up; whereas Yang Hao was a complete outsider to him.
So, naturally, he prioritized the safety of himself and Ye Shuran; it’s just human nature.
Ye Shuyuan shook her head: “Director Yang got out of the car to save us—we can’t just abandon him and run.”
“Besides, we might not even be able to get away. Let’s see how things go first!”
After saying that, Ye Shuyuan turned her attention back to the scene outside the car window.
At this moment, Yang Hao was already surrounded by a dozen men led by Zhao Hu.
“If it’s money you want, name your price!”
Yang Hao’s gaze swept over Zhao Hu and his crew, and he said indifferently.
Zhao Hu didn’t bother to respond. He was actually relieved that Yang Hao had gotten out of the car voluntarily, as his task was to give Yang Hao a good beating.
If the other party hadn’t left the vehicle, they would have had to smash the car and drag the person out, which would have been time-consuming.
Now that Yang Hao had delivered himself to their doorstep, Zhao Hu was spared the trouble.
So Zhao Hu waved his hand grandly: “Attack!”
Reality is very different from TV dramas. If this were a TV show, as the antagonist, Zhao Hu would likely have preceded the attack with some tough talk.
But clearly, he knew that the long-winded villain usually ends up dead, and he didn’t bother exchanging words with Yang Hao—he just gave the order.
Then a group of men charged directly at Yang Hao.
“I’ll give ten million!”
Seeing the crowd rushing towards him, Yang Hao made a direct offer.
No matter who had sent these men or for what purpose, it was all about money. So when Yang Hao named the sum of ten million, the men at the forefront instinctively paused, turning to see Zhao Hu’s reaction.
Just as Yang Hao had thought, these men were only there for some money. Now that Yang Hao had offered ten million, naturally they looked to Zhao Hu, their boss, for guidance.
“Move!”
“Dream on!!”
An experienced Zhao Hu wasn’t buying this tactic and fixed the men with a fierce glare.
Although the number ten million was tempting, he didn’t believe a word of it under these circumstances.
Moreover, he had his principles as a professional; he wouldn’t take money from both sides and betray Lu Mingzhe.
Of course, this so-called professional integrity was also because his employer was the powerful and influential heir of the Lu Family.
If it were someone else, he might not have observed this so-called integrity!
With Zhao Hu’s command, the group of men rushed forth in a swarm.
Yang Hao’s lips curled up slightly: “I gave you the chance.”
“It’s you who didn’t take it!”
Ever since he maxed out his Combat Power and obtained the title of Martial Arts Grandmaster, Yang Hao had barely been in a real fight, other than sparring with his police officer “apprentice” Ma Tianjiao.
He also had only dealt with a few small-time thugs at the Haojue Club.
However, these few small-time thugs were no match for Zhao Hu and his crew.
If thuggery could be considered a profession, then Zhao Hu’s group could be considered professional thugs. The planning of their operation was testament to this.
These men were not brainless; they knew how to intercept and jam signals, and their approach was very decisive, making them thugs with brains.
But they were unlucky to run into Yang Hao, who had the help of the System.
So, the first four men who rushed up didn’t even see how Yang Hao made his move before they were painfully wailing on the ground!
This sudden turn of events startled Zhao Hu and the other men who were preparing to make a move, standing at the back.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
They looked unbelievingly at Yang Hao and the four men lying on the ground.
Ye Shuyuan and Wang Bin in the car were also dumbfounded. Wang Bin had been thinking about whether he should take the chaos as an opportunity to drive off.
But while he was still pondering it, Yang Hao had already knocked down the first four men who charged at him.
“Director Yang knows martial arts!”
“So incredible, I didn’t even see how he moved!”
Wang Bin exclaimed with wide eyes.
“He never mentioned it, to think he knows martial arts, no wonder he’s so calm!”
Ye Shuyuan was also surprised, her mouth agape, but soon a worried expression appeared on her face, “But, there are too many of them, and Director Yang is just one person.”
“But looking at the speed of Director Yang’s movements just now, he completely overpowered them, it’s hard to say!”
Wang Bin, who was in the driver’s seat, had a clearer view. It took Yang Hao only two or three seconds to knock down those four men from the moment they charged at him.
This was definitely overwhelming strength!
While the two of them were talking, the second batch of men had already charged over. The five men were much more cautious this time because of the lesson from their predecessors.
But it was in vain; a few seconds later, all five of them were lying neatly on the ground, joining the first four in their wails.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Hu, standing at the back, was utterly dumbfounded, his mouth twitching violently behind his mask.
As a professional thug, he regularly practiced free combat and some practical martial arts routines.
For his underlings, he could typically handle three or four on his own, at most five was the limit, and even if he could beat five, he wouldn’t come out unscathed.
However, the man in front of him had already taken down nine men single-handedly, and what was more frightening, he did it with ease; you simply didn’t know what his limit was.
Because of his profession, Zhao Hu had also seen some fighting masters and had even sought guidance from some so-called martial arts experts. Those people were formidable, but Zhao Hu could still catch a glimpse of something when they made their moves.
But, he couldn’t at all see how Yang Hao moved, and that was even more terrifying!
“Brother Hu, that guy must be cheating; he’s too fierce!”
Big Flower Arm, standing next to Zhao Hu, was also shocked beyond belief, and he couldn’t help but comment in a low voice.
Zhao Hu didn’t utter a sound, tightly gripping the iron rod in his hand, his gaze fixed on Yang Hao as he silently calculated whether the other might suddenly attack.
“Let’s talk.”
“Who sent you?”
Yang Hao walked towards Zhao Hu, asking with a relaxed smile on his face.
However, to Zhao Hu and Big Flower Arm, this smile seemed too terrifying, even chilling.
This was a man who had effortlessly knocked down nine thugs, his combat power unknown.
Zhao Hu was tight-lipped, of course, not willing to spill everything just because Yang Hao asked.
In fact, Yang Hao didn’t intend to get the answer from his mouth; he just threw out a topic and then used the “Listening to Heartbeats” skill on Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu: What kind of kung fu has this guy practiced?
Zhao Hu: Will he suddenly make a move?
Receiving the feedback, the corners of Yang Hao’s mouth twitched slightly; this guy wasn’t playing ball, still thinking about fighting!
“A ten million deal still stands, just tell me who sent you!”
Yang Hao continued, initially mentioning ten million just as a means to negotiate with Zhao Hu. Even if Zhao Hu wouldn’t talk, the topic of money, with the help of “Listening to Heartbeats,” could lead to the mastermind behind the scene. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Sure enough, when Yang Hao mentioned the ten million again, Zhao Hu’s thoughts began to change.
Zhao Hu: Is this guy crazy, offering money even though he can fight?
Zhao Hu: If he really gives ten million, I wouldn’t mind betraying Mr. Lu!
It’s fucking impossible, does he think I’m a three-year-old kid or what!
Through the grumbling complaints of Zhao Hu, Yang Hao got the information he wanted: Mr. Lu!
