Chapter 49: Meeting The In-Laws (2).
Xiao Mei said, "Boss, Han Ming is asking people to look into your background. Should I stop him?"
Hao Rent thought for a bit and said, "Stall him. Also, bring up the stock market for the day."
He was going to intimidate Han Ming. Xiao Mei followed his commands and Hao Ren began to speculate and make money on daily trade.
Meanwhile, Han Ming was getting anxious, because the police refused to give them any details of the people who filed the complaints. The pile of charges against Han Yuntian was so high that Attorney Leigh told Hao Ren that it was possible for him to make the court add the charge of a repeated offense.
Hao Ren liked Attorney Leigh and gave him a thumbs-up for this. Hao Ren stopped trading only when the market closed in the western hemisphere. His profit was seventy five million.
Suddenly, the system said, *Ding: Host, the task of spirit of vengeance have been completed. Vanity Store will not open now. You are rewarded with a golden manager lottery.*
Hao Ren raised his brows and asked, "Let me see what this thing does."
The system said, *Ding: Normal employees are all people who are driven by profits. You have the ideas but the people who execute those ideas always have some selfish reasons underneath their smiles. The golden manager will be loyal to you because of your ideas. The efficiency will increase."
Hao Ren thought about it and said, "System can this lottery be used at a later occasion?"
They system gave him a positive reply. Hao Ren sighed and began to slowly swivel his chair from left to right.
Hao Ren had no intention of expanding his business at the moment. He wanted to get a stable foothold in the tech sector. There were many things he wanted to do.
Suddenly, Xiao Mei said, "Boss, Han Ming's people are tracking you through the footage of you and Mister Heath at the market. They already know your car and license plate number."
Hao Ren frowned and said, "The car is registered under Lingshi's name. It would be troublesome if they managed to connect the two of us together. Although I am not afraid of them discovering anything but I don't want Lingshi to be troubled."
Xiao Mei said, "Boss, should I hide everything from them?"
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "If we hide something, then they will search even more rigorously. You can hide things online but not offline. I will have to come up with a proper solution to this problem called second Han Strain."
Xiao Mei asked, "Boss, what do you have in mind?"
Hao Ren said, "Connect me to Lingshi, tell her it's urgent."
Xiao Mei affirmed him and then a few minutes later, Han Lingshi called him. She asked in a drowsy voice, "Ren, what happened? Are you alright?"
Hao Ren replied, "Yes, I am fine, but your uncle and step cousin are stirring up trouble."
Han Lingshi seemed to have been knocked out of her drowsy state and asked solemnly, "What happened?"
Hao Ren told her how they are trying to find things about him and his family. Han Lingshi realized that the undercurrents are very strong. She said, "I will handle it, don't worry."
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Lingshi, I have a plan and I intend to make a move against them to settle this entire situation once and for all."
Han Lingshi was surprised and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
Hao Ren spoke in a deep voice, "I need you to connect me to your cousin who helped you with Maria, the rest, I will deal with it."
Han Lingshi asked, "Ren, don't scare me. What do you want to do?"
Hao Ren replied, "Nothing, just let these dogs eat each other. Your uncle would be taking the fall for it."
Han Lingshi shivered as she thought how Hao Ren intended to settle things with the people. She could sense the intention to kill the people. Hao Ren did not say anything, he just leaned in the chair swiveling it slowly while Han Lingshi made her decision.
After ten minutes, Han Lingshi said, "I will send you the details of Cousin Shenlong. Do what you must but safety first."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Good, don't worry, I am always careful."
Han Lingshi nodded before the two talked over for a few minutes. Hao Ren disconnected the call and decided to call Yue Shenlong. He researched about the guy a bit and nodded.
Xiao Mei was capable of looking into every minute details of a target if she was given the time. Her computing power only effected the speed and not the accuracy.
...
In the morning Yue Shenlong had just came to the dungeon to check up Maria when his phone rang. He mumbled, "Aren't you quick?"
Han Lingshi had told him that Hao Ren might be reaching out to him to settle the situation with Maria and Han Yuntian. However, he did not expect the guy to be so quick.
He answered the call and talked in a deep voice, "Hello, who is this?"
Hao Ren replied, "My name is Hao Ren. I assume you are aware of my connection to Lingshi. So, can we cut to the chase?"
Yue Shenlong raised his eyebrow and asked, Who do you think you talking to in this manner?"
Hao Ren side, "Listen, I don't have the time to waste. Han Ming is poking around my family. I assure you to not mess with me right now. Or do I need to call Lingshi so that you keep your temper in check?"
Hao Ren knew about this guy. Yue Shenlong was the unbearable young master of the Yue Family. Nobody wanted to offend him, because he was notorious enough to kill and ruin the people for slightest of transgression. His nick name in the capital was the petty dragon.
Yue Shenlong was stunned that Hao Ren did not seem to be afraid of him. He spoke menacingly, "Do you think big cousin would be able to save you? I can ruin your little company whenever I want. Do you understand?"
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Before you even think about how you can ruin me, let me give you a reality check."
The call was disconnected and the monitoring screens of the dungeon turned black. The next moment a handsome young man appeared on the screen and everyone was shocked.
Yue Shenlong knew that it was Hao Ren, he was surprised to see him on the screen, sitting there with a cup of coffee in his hand. Hao Ren said, "It took me a minute to get inside your monitoring station. How much do you think it will take me to get in your offices and company servers? I am sure that you are not as heavily defensive as Byte Technologies. Are you, Young Master Yue?"
Yue Shenlong clenched his first and said while glaring at the screen, "Han Ming might do anything to you but I can kill you."
Hao Ren nodded and then asked, "Are your people stronger than Red Banner?"
Yue Shenlong's pupil constricted in shock. He did not expect Hao Ren to ask him such a question. As he was watching, Hao Ren took off his arm brace and give it a swing. He said, "Let's meet and then see who is stronger."
Yue Shenlong chuckled and asked, "What gives you the confidence that you can beat me."
Suddenly, a calm voice sounded from behind him, "The gun aimed at the back of your head. That's my confidence."
Then a click echoed inside the monitoring room and everyone slowly turned to see a handsome man standing six feet away from Yue Shenlong, holding a gun aimed at the latter's head.
Yue Shenlong sensed his blood freeze. He could tell that Hao Ren was definitely not normal. He had a killing aura on his person and it was very intense. He asked, "How did you get in?"
Hao Ren smiles and replied, "There are many loopholes in your security. I didn't even break a sweat. However, two of your guards are stunned and they might need medical attention."
Yue Shenlong looked at him and didn't move even an inch. Hao Ren smiled and took back the gun as he said, "Lingshi would not like it if we fight among ourselves. What do you say, Brother Shen?"
Yue Shenlong did not reply but then he sighed and said, "Big cousin used to say that you are talented and stuff, but I never expected something like this to happen."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
He stretched out his right hand after holstering the gun inside his brace. Yue Shenlong chuckled and shook his hand as he replied, "Cheeky man, you are. I like it."
The two of them joined hands and now will make their final move.
