The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then sighed...

"Yes! We haven't given him any care, now that he's back, there's no need to worry. In the future, he will be your Lin Family's personal bodyguard. You have the right to decide whether he stays or goes, as for any tasks, deal with them as you see fit!" The person on the other end sighed again before hanging up the phone.

Lin Tian was stunned on the cold hospital bed, his eyes no longer bleak. What did the person on the phone just say? He came back? Ye Hao is back? Thinking of this, Lin Tian was a bit excited and said, "That kid is fine, he's alright."

Although Lin Tian is a business tycoon, in some aspects, he is like a child, he has his own way of life, just like Su Qing, he shows keen interest in the things he likes and doesn't care at all about things he dislikes. Now that he has news about Ye Hao, his excitement is self-evident.

"Dad, is he really back?" Lin Ruyu asked with tears of excitement in her eyes...

...

When Ye Hao got off the plane, he was invited by several people. Rather than an invitation, it was more like coercion. Ye Hao looked at these black-clad bodyguards with confusion. Although he could refuse to go with them, he went along to find out what was going on.

"Got a phone, buddy?" Sitting in the car with a cigarette in his mouth, Ye Hao asked.

"What for?" The bodyguard asked warily, looking at Ye Hao.

"Nothing much, just to make a call home, so they won't worry." Ye Hao said with a smile.

"No..."

"Alright, then I'll get out..."

"Here." The bodyguard quickly handed over the phone upon hearing Ye Hao's words.

He was really afraid of Ye Hao. As bodyguards, they could naturally sense the natural aura of bloodthirstiness emanating from Ye Hao. Avoiding confrontation and inviting Ye Hao to see their young master was undoubtedly the best option.

Ye Hao dialed Lin Ruyu's number. In this society, it's difficult for a young person to remember a number, but fortunately, Ye Hao remembered Lin Ruyu's number. He hadn't been back to Peng City for a month, and now that he's back, who knows how this young lady would punish him if he didn't report back immediately.

Sure enough, once the call connected, he was greeted by a torrent of angry yelling, yet Ye Hao felt that the person on the other end wasn't scolding him, but rather venting grievances.

"Alright, alright, I'll apologize to you properly when I get back. Right now, some Mr. Bai invited me for something, I'm not sure what it's about, I'll handle it first," Ye Hao said with a smile to Lin Ruyu over the phone.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruyu thought someone was going to harm Ye Hao and directly said, "What kind of nonsense Mr. Bai! I don't care, you better get back to Peng City quickly, and if he bullies you, you better beat him up for daring to stop my man from returning to Peng City!" Lin Ruyu said fiercely, her hands on her hips.

Lin Tian and Yan Shuiyue rubbed their eyes. Is this really their daughter?

"Alright! I'm hanging up now, the guys who stopped me look as if they've lost their dads, all for a phone call, seriously!" Ye Hao said and hung up, making Lin Ruyu on the other end of the phone chuckle.

The car drove for an hour, arriving at a high-end club called Nishang.

Although this high-end club is not in the inner circle, its decor is more luxurious and grand than some high-end clubs in the inner circle.

Before entering, two graceful young women approached and said softly, "Sir, welcome to Nishang Club. Are you a gold member or a diamond member?"

The two women thought Ye Hao was a rich man — with a private Lincoln and personal bodyguards, how wealthy must he be? So they directly asked Ye Hao what level of membership he had.

"Nothing at all..." Ye Hao shrugged helplessly, thinking, can't you see I'm being brought by someone else?

One of the people who brought Ye Hao, impatiently waved his hand and said, "He's someone Mr. Bai invited, don't disturb us." With that, they led Ye Hao inside.

After they went in, the two women snapped out of their shock. Mr. Bai's guest? Doesn't that mean he must be as noble as members from the other four major families in Yanjing?

Thinking of this, they were quietly relieved, grateful that they hadn't mocked but instead greeted with smiles...

Ye Hao was taken by the two to the top floor, which was a large private room equipped with a professional kitchen, room, hall, bathtub, basically everything found at home.

This is the most luxurious suite, meant to make others feel like they're at home. Of course, anyone who can rent such a suite certainly wouldn't go shopping for groceries and cook for themselves.

Ye Hao was wondering who this Mr. Bai actually was, with such grandeur, and it seemed like his stay here wasn't just a day or two.

When he reached the hall, Ye Hao looked towards a young man sitting on the sofa. The way the young man sat was natural and dashing, with handsome features. While Ye Hao was sizing him up, he was also smiling as he sized up Ye Hao.

One of the people who brought Ye Hao approached and said, "Mr. Bai, the person you wanted is here."

"You may go," Mr. Bai waved his hand, then turned to Ye Hao as if instructing, "Sit."

Ye Hao didn't mind, whether friend or foe was not clear yet. Ye Hao didn't want to casually offend someone who was everywhere called "Mr.."

Ye Hao sat down without asking who he was, and Bai Lin looked somewhat displeased at Ye Hao, wondering how this kid could be so calm? Or was he mute? Anyone who didn't understand what was going on would surely ask why, wouldn't they?

"Kid, do you know who I am?" Bai Lin looked at Ye Hao with some arrogance and asked.

"No idea." Ye Hao shook his head.

"Haha, we talked on the phone, did you forget?" Bai Lin said chuckling, thinking Ye Hao would surely remember who he was.

"I've talked to so many people, how would I know who you are?" Ye Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly at him.

"Alright, you don't know, do you? Let me formally introduce myself then. I am Bai Lin from the Bai Family. Don't tell me you don't know what the Bai Family is. I am the eldest grandson of the Bai Family. I know you work for Fang Ni and also that you have martial arts training, but in my eyes, your skills are nothing but trash. So don't struggle. I give you a choice. One, leave Fang Ni, don't bother her, and don't work under her anymore. Two... I'll find a chance to have someone take you out." Bai Lin spoke with a vicious tone.

But how could such fierceness scare Ye Hao? This kind of menace would only frighten ordinary people.

"Oh? Why?" Ye Hao asked nonchalantly.

"Because Fang Ni is my woman, I love her. Who do you think you are? A mere bodyguard trying to hit on the boss?" Bai Lin looked at Ye Hao with disdain.

"Did you bring me here just to say that?" Ye Hao looked up once again at Bai Lin standing over him.

"Yes, I hope you won't do anything to make me angry, otherwise... hmph." Bai Lin snorted heavily.

"And if I do, would you really finish me off?" Ye Hao chuckled softly.

"Yes!"

"Smack!"

A loud slap landed on Bai Lin's face, as Ye Hao chuckled lightly. Doesn't matter who you are from those big families, dare to look down on me while speaking, and I'll hit you. Dare to threaten me, and I'll hit you. Dare to make a move on Sister Fang Ni, and I'll hit you.

"Haha, how about that? Did that slap hurt?" Ye Hao laughed as he stepped forward, patting Bai Lin's shoulder, and then drove a knee into him.

"Ugh..."

Bai Lin felt a sharp pain in his stomach, becoming utterly terrified in his heart. He, a second-degree martial artist, was utterly powerless against Ye Hao's assault.

"How's that? If you have nothing else to say, I'll be on my way. Sorry, I might have hit a bit too hard. But I'll give you three pieces of advice, of course, listen if you want, ignore them if not."

"First: Judging by your light and floating steps, you're definitely indulging too much. You, trying to hit on Sister Fang Ni? Get lost. Second: Don't think being the eldest grandson of the Bai Family means you can threaten me, otherwise I'll beat you to the point your family won't recognize you. Third: Don't find superiority in your meager second-degree martial arts, killing you would be like squashing an ant, so consider the consequences before acting.

After Ye Hao finished speaking, he walked away briskly. When he released Bai Lin, Bai Lin roared in anger, "Get him, kill him, kill him immediately."

As the eldest grandson of the Bai Family, how had Bai Lin ever endured such humiliation? Being openly insulted by Ye Hao and even beaten, he couldn't take it.

More than ten guards outside, all first-degree martial artists, heard Bai Lin's words and charged in aggressively with knives from outside.

"Haha!" Ye Hao laughed softly and took only three minutes to subdue all the more than ten first-degree martial artist guards to the ground.

Ye Hao picked up a knife, and under Bai Lin's terrified gaze, he tossed it over...

The blade lightly grazed past Bai Lin's ear, and a tuft of hair, stained with a little blood, fell off.

"This is just a warning, don't really make me angry." Ye Hao looked coldly at Bai Lin.

Then he left the place.

Meanwhile, Fang Ni hurried over. As soon as Ye Hao disembarked, he knew Ye Hao was back, but he was taken away by someone at the airport. After investigating, Fang Ni found out it was Bai Lin's people who took Ye Hao, so she rushed over in a hurry.

She was worried Ye Hao would be bullied by Bai Lin.

Ye Hao casually walked out of Nishang Club with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at ease and calm.

Fang Ni had just gotten out of her car, struggling to make her way to Nishang Club in her high heels.

Seeing she was about to enter Nishang Club, she unexpectedly twisted her ankle, and her body fell backward...

Ye Hao, who was standing by the door smoking, saw this and shouted in his mind: Wow, isn't that Sister Fang Ni? She seems even prettier today. How could I miss such a great opportunity to be a hero? If I don't show up now, when will I?

Ye Hao finished speaking and, with miraculous steps, instantly moved behind Fang Ni, supporting her waist gently with one hand.

The other hand picked up the cigarette from his mouth, blowing out a heart-shaped smoke ring... (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
