As she was almost close enough, Ye Hao stood up and opened his arms to embrace her.

Chen Shuyan felt an immense relief when Ye Hao hugged her, a bit happy inside, thinking this man wasn't so bad after all! At least she didn't have to be taken home by someone else.

The two bodyguards saw Ye Hao hugging the woman in the purple dress and shook their heads as they left, not believing that their lady would hug others. If she were to hug someone, it should be her husband.

After the bodyguards left, the woman in the purple dress finally heard the announcement for her boarding, and in her excitement, she hugged Ye Hao even tighter, pressing both peaks against Ye Hao's chest.

"Okay, okay! Don't get too addicted to hugging." Ye Hao enjoyed the feeling, but he didn't really want to get involved in wealthy family disputes. Though Lin Ruyu's Lin Family was also wealthy, Ye Hao wanted to protect them from the start, so he had fewer concerns.

Now, with a strange woman hugging and kissing him, who knew how many rivals she'd have next? What kind of enemies would they be? If he got involved in their disputes, peace would be out of reach.

"Che, do you think I want to hug?" Chen Shuyan rolled her eyes at Ye Hao and then spoke softly, "Sorry about today. I was being unreasonable with you. Next time, if there's a chance, let me treat you to a meal and repay you ten thousand. By the way, I'm Chen Shuyan."

After saying this, Chen Shuyan boarded her plane and left. Then Ye Hao also boarded his flight back to Peng City, returning to Celestial Paradise Coast after several twists and turns.

Celestial Paradise Coast was still the same, but when Ye Hao returned to Lin Ruyu's villa, he noticed that the number of security personnel had more than doubled, and there were even some who shared his temperament standing at the entrance.

"What's going on here?" Ye Hao muttered to himself, wondering if something had happened.

Ye Hao's return made the National Martial Arts third stage personnel at the entrance alertly watch him, wondering who this strong aura person was. Was he also a third stage martial artist?

However, they didn't forget their duties, and one of them said, "Who are you? Why are you approaching this villa?"

Seeing this, Ye Hao laughed and said, "I'm the bodyguard here, I'm Ye Hao."

"Get lost! People claiming to be bodyguards here are a dime a dozen every day, don't make me act." The rugged man shouted again.

He was Lin Tian's trusted aide from Yixing, usually at foreign companies, but now called back by Lin Tian due to recent anger-inducing actions, with the villa being constantly visited for inquiries.

Now seeing Ye Hao claim he's a bodyguard here made him angrier, since he hadn't seen Ye Hao in over a month, when did Ye Hao become a bodyguard here?

"Hey! Lin, I'm Ye Hao!" Ye Hao shouted loudly, knowing that explaining further was useless.

Sure enough, after Ye Hao's shout, Lin Tian, who was reviewing documents inside, immediately came out, and seeing Ye Hao's figure, he went forward and patted Ye Hao's shoulder forcefully, saying, "You good boy, finally came back. If you hadn't returned, I would've made my daughter wait widowed for you."

Ye Hao heard this and smiled awkwardly, wondering what he meant by waiting widowed for him! They weren't related, were they?

But he still laughed and chatted with Lin Tian.

"From now on in this villa, Hao's words are my words, don't make me repeat it, from now on he is Mr. Ye." Lin Tian said and then led Ye Hao towards the hall.

Later, Lin Tian spoke about how Ye Hao's items sold at the auction, with Tang Sancai and those antique goods fetching more than 80 million, and the small cauldron from Dayu's era auctioning for one billion, instantly making Ye Hao a billionaire.

As for Ye Hao's instruction to place the Luminous Pearl on the Cold and Hot Ice Marrow, he followed it, and even his daughter became healthier and more radiant by the day.

"Lin, did the auction money get transferred to my brothers' accounts?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.

"Speaking of this, I have to say, your brothers are loyal but a bit silly. Each got three billion, thinking you'd left, so each burned a billion, making the Peng City media shed tears on-site. If it weren't for my families suppressing the news, the whole of Huaxia would be condemning them." Lin Tian laughed.

While touched by the news, Ye Hao also twitched his face in annoyance at how those few idiots squandered billions.

Then Ye Hao asked about the situation at home, hearing Lin Tian's reply with a broad smile, saying, "You kid's underhanded trick let me pull out the hundred-plus companies' operational funds and then sell off stock at high prices. By the time they realized it was a hollow partnership on paper, I had already withdrawn completely, haha."

Lin Tian laughed heartily, feeling very happy because he could harm his opponent while profiting handsomely.

Moreover, around fifty companies declared bankruptcy, and he now played the good guy again, investing in these companies with different legal entities, with everything back on track and operating normally.

The Lin Family's business has expanded once again, making all those watching green with envy!

The rivals have threatened to make Lin Tian pay, but since Lin Tian's roots are firmly planted in Peng City, even the strongest opponents can't reach him here.

So Lin Tian has always stayed behind the scenes, scheming various ways to amass wealth, leaving his opponents in dire straits.

"Wow! Lin, you're that ruthless? Aren't you afraid they'll get desperate and fight you tooth and nail?" Ye Hao was happy for Lin Tian, yet he felt a bitterness in his heart; you might be making money, but I still have to take care of your daughter!

If they get desperate, won't I be exhausted taking care of your daughter?

"I'm not afraid because I had my daughter transfer her identity before I even made a move. Now only you and Xue Zhaolong know Ruyu's identity," Lin Tian said with a smile.

Although Lin Ruyu also lives at the Celestial Paradise Coast, it's not in this villa. As for Yan Shuiyue, she returned to the headquarters to handle operations. The couple working together meant constant victories against their enemies!

"What are you going to do next, Lin?" Ye Hao asked. He certainly didn't want Lin Tian to continue being with Lin Ruyu because Lin Tian was under heavy scrutiny right now. Every move he made would fuel speculation from his opponents. To ensure the safety of his little employer, Ye Hao could only hope Lin Tian would leave.

"Next, I'm returning to the headquarters, and I'll leave Ruyu in your care, Hao." Lin Tian said more seriously this time, with an air of entrusting his daughter to Ye Hao.

"Sure, I'll make sure Ruyu lives a safe and secure life. But Lin, how's that thing I asked you to do last time?" Ye Hao was more concerned about his research lab and asked.

"Haha, it's done. I've set up dozens of big warehouses, and Yazi Mountain has been designated by the local government as a non-opening area. Also, for your fifty kilometers of sea, I've had people enclose it. No one else will be able to come in from here now," Lin Tian said with a smile.

Lin Tian was quite attentive to what Ye Hao asked him to do; he also wanted to see what capabilities Ye Hao had to set up a lab in the sea.

If Ye Hao could really develop something significant, Lin Tian wouldn't mind providing his sales channels to him, and would even strongly support him.

Because he knew that Ye Hao would never betray his country, and his family wouldn't allow it...

"Thank you, Lin, but won't your business rivals play dirty tricks? Or hire assassins?" Although Ye Hao hoped Lin Tian would stay away from Lin Ruyu, he also didn't want Lin Tian to face any crises after leaving.

"Haha, assassins? Let them come, we'll kill each one," Lin Tian laughed heartily. Outwardly, these people might only be at a third-level National Martial Arts skill, but the Lin Family's hidden experts were far more numerous.

"Lin, you're so domineering," Ye Hao praised, and then he left. He didn't leave through the front door; as Lin Tian said, he was definitely being watched when he came in, so he had to leave quietly.

Across Huaxia, over a hundred publicly listed companies suddenly declared bankruptcy, with their largest shareholders vanishing overnight, leaving their families completely disappearing from the world.

As for the remaining dozens that could barely hold on, they only had too many past partners to owe favors to, which is why they weren't immediately forced into declaring bankruptcy when things happened.

"Find all the information on Lin Tian's family for me; I want to kill his entire family," yelled a middle-aged man angrily in a workshop under a deserted island.

As this information was passed down, companies across Huaxia that he controlled rushed out like a swarm of locusts, all eyes fixated on Lin Tian.

Everyone deeply marveled at Lin Tian's boldness, which had driven his opponents to bankruptcy. Although dozens were still holding on, they were just at the end of their rope. If Lin Tian were willing to be more ruthless, they'd certainly collapse.

"Damn it, find all information about Lin Tian for me." The major shareholders of each company trying to hold on roared loudly.

Over the years, they've risen to high positions, and naturally had many competent subordinates. They all set out for Peng City, each hoping to find out about any of Lin Tian's associates from there.

Unfortunately... Lin Tian had been in Peng City for a long time, and erasing all traces of him and his daughter was as easy as eating tofu. Therefore, those people were destined to be disappointed.

But alas... Lin Tian and Lin Ruyu's relationship wasn't known only to Ye Hao but also to his three brothers...

Will this chaotic business world affect Lin Ruyu? Or can Ye Hao withstand the looming storm?

In a villa in Peng City, a dignified middle-aged man smiled as he looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "Haha, is Ye Hao your brother?"

The young man smiled, nodded, and replied with a sound. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
