People with the surname Lu whom Yang Hao knew were few, and the only one who intersected with a motive was Lu Mingzhe, who had a conflict in the parking lot yesterday.
The man was a native of Hucheng, and a wealthy second-generation with both power and influence. Gathering so many people in such a short time was not difficult for him.
After discovering the mastermind, Yang Hao spoke again, “Now, if you choose to surrender and confess the person behind this, you could receive a lighter sentence. I could also write a letter of understanding for you and plead with the judge on your behalf.”
“Otherwise, what you did today already constitutes attempted kidnapping. Even though it was unsuccessful, the sentencing is the same, and you’ll serve at least ten years in prison!”
“You should also know who the person in the car is. Miss Ye is not only a famous host but also from the Ye Family. You know what that implies, right?”
Obviously, the gang of thugs was not Yang Hao’s target.
He needed to make Lu Mingzhe, the mastermind behind this, pay the price; otherwise, everything would be in vain. Hence, Yang Hao directly started influencing Zhao Hu’s thinking.
“You think I’m easily frightened?”
Zhao Hu sneered, considering himself a veteran in the underworld. In his view, the current situation could not necessarily be defined as kidnapping.
However, Yang Hao’s words did stir some thoughts in Big Flower Arm, who was nearby. When Zhao Hu had called them together, he had only mentioned beating someone up, not that the target would be in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Big Flower Arm wasn’t stupid. He, of course, knew that he shouldn’t mess with someone who could be in such a car.
Especially now that the person’s identity had been exposed.
The person in the car was Hucheng Satellite TV’s premier female host, Ye Shuyuan!
Should this incident be exposed, it would surely provoke a massive public outcry, and a strict handling of their violent actions would be expected.
In fact, if not for Yang Hao’s fighting skill, they could have left after their assault.
They were fully prepared today, all dressed in uniform black masks and duckbill caps; it was unlikely the police could find them. Even if they did, they could just deny everything, as there was not much evidence.
But what happened was completely unexpected—Yang Hao alone had knocked down all nine of his accomplices. Seeing this, any thoughts of escape were out of the question.
Thus, Yang Hao’s declaration of kidnapping charges was not improbable!
That means he really might end up in prison!
Upon thinking this, Big Flower Arm panicked immediately. He mixed with Zhao Hu just to make money; he surely didn’t want to end up in prison.
Moreover, he already had a criminal record. If caught again, his current sentence would only be lengthened.
“Let’s go together!”

Although wary, Zhao Hu wasn’t ready to give up just yet. He signaled to Big Flower Arm with his eyes and prepared to strike.
Two against one!
There might still be a chance!
Zhao Hu thought this as he swung the iron rod towards Yang Hao.
But to his surprise, Big Flower Arm did not follow his lead, instead standing still and “daydreaming.”
As a result, his swing missed entirely, followed by a numbing sensation around his waist that quickly spread throughout his body like electricity.
His legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Yang Hao didn’t intend to stop. He was about to use his “Shadowless Finger” technique on Big Flower Arm nearby.
But before Yang Hao could make a move, he had already laid himself down on the ground, howling like the others.
No, could your acting be any more exaggerated?
Yang Hao, somewhat speechless, withdrew his hand that was suspended in mid-air and scanned the cabins of the Buick GL8 and the Wuling Hongguang.
The two drivers inside were completely baffled. This wasn’t their first time doing such a job; they had thought that after Zhao Hu and his gang finished the job, they would quickly drive away from the scene as usual.
But today, it had backfired.
Yang Hao alone had knocked down all eleven of Zhao Hu’s men!
Is this guy a monster?
That’s too fierce!!
The two drivers exchanged glances across the distance, then frantically turned their steering wheels, wishing they could push their feet through the floorboards as they sped away from the scene.
Yang Hao had no intention of chasing the drivers; they were just minor goons, after all. Even if they escaped now, Zhao Hu and his gang would give them up, and then the police could handle them.
The large bus parked ahead also had a driver. Seeing his fellow drivers fleeing, he too prepared to make a run for it.
But he wasn’t so lucky—a traffic police officer was nearby. At that moment, a police car had already stopped in front of the bus.
A police officer got out of the car and began to wave at him.
This underling of Zhao Hu gripped the steering wheel tightly; he now had two options, to ram the police officer and escape or to cooperate and surrender quietly.
After weighing his options, he decisively chose the latter.
Because he knew there was no escaping, if Zhao Hu and his men had succeeded, he could claim a driving mistake even if questioned by the traffic police.
But now that Zhao Hu and his gang were clearly going to be arrested, escaping temporarily would be futile.
Besides, he was just a driver. At most, he would be considered an accomplice. If he cooperated and confessed proactively, he might be treated more leniently.
Having realized this, the driver gave up any struggle.
“Police officer, I’m just the driver. This was all planned by Brother Hu, I didn’t know anything!”
