But the next moment, the words Ye Hao said and his arrogance made Bai Lin's face change color.

"Explain my ass, get lost, who the hell do you think you are? Forget about the beating I gave you when I just got back in the country, huh? Your skin itching? Stupid piece of shit, don't use your so-called Bai Family young master status to pressure me, I've never been afraid of you. Don't believe it? Then try hiring a hitman again? Get lost, and don't let me see you again, or else I'll beat you every time I see you." Ye Hao's rampant voice made even those cousins Ye Long brought along feel fired up.

Meanwhile, Bai Lin, at the Nishang Club, was instantly filled with rage, especially seeing so many people watching him with a "watching a good show" expression, he was even more furious, roaring into the phone: "Ye Hao, don't be smug, one day you'll fall into my hands, and I'll make you wish you were dead. Just you wait."

"Haha, I'm waiting. Bring whatever tricks you have. Today, Hou Zhi's people got a lesson for bullying my brothers. If they had bullied me, it wouldn't have been so lucky for them to stay alive. Let me make it clear, if you provoke me, I don't care about your so-called Bai Family young master status, in my hands, it'll just take one slash to make you lose your life like an animal, ready for slaughter. Don't believe it? Come and try." Ye Hao contemptuously said to Bai Lin, but his words made the Ye family's collateral members even more excited.

"Good! Very good! Let's see how long you can stay arrogant." Bai Lin furiously hung up the phone, and after hanging up, he threw it forcefully, the phone shattering on the floor.

Chen Shuyan was stunned inside, it seemed Bai Lin and Ye Hao knew each other, but Ye Hao had always suppressed Bai Lin, hearing the voice it even seemed Ye Hao had bullied Bai Lin before! Is Ye Hao really that formidable? It was the first time Chen Shuyan felt curiosity towards Ye Hao.

"First, get them to the hospital." Bai Lin angrily ordered his bodyguard to send people to the hospital, for the tussles among rich kids typically wouldn't go to court.

For common folks, court might have an impact, but for this group of rich kids, that's a joke. Which family doesn't have someone at the ministerial level or above? Unless those at the very top want to mess with you, otherwise, this group of rich kids would never end up in court.

Moreover, the top ten families had all tacitly agreed to the squabbles of the younger generation; generally, the older generation would not intervene in minor issues, letting the younger generation resolve them.

As long as no one dies, usually you can turn a blind eye.

But the Hou family members may not turn a blind eye this time, as when the Hou family's third brother, Hou Guangfu, heard that his two nephews were beaten so badly, their bodies covered in wounds and limbs fractured, and were currently in the hospital for bone setting.

He angrily rushed to inform the Hou family's eldest, Hou Guangrong, the second, Hou Guanghua, and the fourth, Hou Guanggui.

Hou Guangrong, as a general of the Hou family, and a committee member of the military, didn't speak up but told his third brother, Hou Guangfu, to handle it.

In Hou Guangfu's eyes, it was necessary to ensure the perpetrator received serious punishment, so he personally went.

He wanted to demand someone from the Ye family; he wanted to take Ye Hao back to the Hou family and slowly torture Ye Hao, making him experience what it felt like to have all your bones broken.

Accompanying him were Hou Guanggui and the eldest nephew, Hou Zhong.

This incident only happened around noon, and by afternoon the Hou family had already come over, you could say the speed was fast!

Compared to their aggressive demeanor, Ye Hao and Ye Long seemed relatively relaxed.

At this moment, Ye Hao, Ye Long, and Ye Qingcheng were playing Chinese chess in the backyard, where the old man usually exercised.

After drinking their beverages, they found the weather was cool, so Ye Qingcheng suggested playing Chinese chess.

Indeed, Ye Qingcheng was the pride of the Ye family, her chess skills were extraordinary, and Ye Long found himself capitulating in every game against her.

"Ye Hao brother, how about you play a game with me? Long brother doesn't even think, he just lets my pieces take, too dull." Ye Qingcheng looked at Ye Long speechlessly, and Ye Long sheepishly moved aside.

"Sure! But I'm quite good at chess, so you better be prepared." Ye Hao said with a smile, he had the eighth-generation system, which contained various intricate chess games, and with that, he dared to compete with any chess master, let alone Ye Qingcheng.

"Ye brother is so narcissistic!" Ye Qingcheng giggled, her sweet and charming smile making Ye Hao's soul tremble a little.

"Haha, whether narcissistic or not, let's play a game first." Ye Hao laughed heartily.

The laughter awoke the old man resting in the backyard. He woke up, hearing such hearty laughter and inexplicably wanted to see who it was.

The old man did what he wanted, pressed a signal to call someone, and soon someone came to support him out.

At that moment, Ye Hao and Ye Qingcheng were vigorously pursuing and battling on the chessboard.

Ye Hao didn't really understand Chinese chess, many moves were the system's best suggestions.

Over ten minutes, the two played to a draw, which made the old man's eyes shine. He was an old man who enjoyed chess, occasionally playing against other old men but mostly losing.

Because in the past, he had little education, though he was valiant and invincible in battle, he lagged a bit in chess.

"Not bad, not bad." The old man thought to himself, then took a closer look at Ye Hao's face, finding a strong resemblance to someone, and nodded secretly.

Ye Long had already noticed the old man coming over and quickly went to support him, prompting the dedicated nurse to step aside. He was Ye Batian's personal bodyguard, with unfathomable strength. There were rumors outside that the personal bodyguards who took care of these old men all had at least national martial arts of the tenth degree or above.

At this moment, she was also fascinated by the chess game played by Ye Hao and Ye Qingcheng. She never thought there were people in the world who played chess like this.

Every move calculated five or six steps ahead; such a mind was frightening even to imagine.

The chess game had been ongoing for over an hour, still fiercely proceeding. At this time, Liu Su also entered. Afraid that they might disturb the deep-thinking Ye Qingcheng, the old man made a shushing gesture.

Liu Su and Ye Long's mother quietly watched. At first, Ye Qingcheng could move a piece every three to five minutes, but gradually, she couldn't decide on a move even after four to five minutes.

Just then, a loud shout came from outside: "Ye Hao, get out here! How dare you injure my two nephews? I will take you back for a good lesson!"

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng, who was playing chess with Ye Hao, heard someone was coming to trouble Ye Hao, causing her to become distracted. This distraction led to Ye Hao decisively defeating her, leaving her in disarray.

"Hehe, sister, you are very good. I think if you hadn't been interrupted, you could have gone another twenty moves or so with me," Ye Hao said, smiling at Ye Qingcheng, unfazed by the people outside calling out to settle the score with him.

"Oh? Brother Ye Hao, do you really think little sister can only go twenty steps?" Ye Qingcheng was a bit annoyed that Ye Hao was so sure she could only go twenty steps. She didn't think she would necessarily lose.

"Yes, I know you're unconvinced. Watch closely, I'll show you," Ye Hao said as he picked up the piece she mistakenly moved earlier and played it again.

As Ye Qingcheng's pieces were placed by Ye Hao in the positions he wanted, her eyes widened, finding it incredible that he knew exactly where she intended to move...

"One step... three steps... ten steps... twenty steps... General," the old man counted Ye Hao's moves softly. At the twentieth step, Ye Hao's three pawns put her in check.

"Good!" The old man clapped first, and the others followed. Tears welled up in Liu Su's eyes but were held back.

Hearing this, Ye Hao turned around and was slightly embarrassed to see so many people watching the game. He greeted them as Uncle and Aunt, variously, and the old man repeatedly clapped his hands, saying, "Young man, your chess skills are exquisite. My hands are itching; I wonder if I could have a game with you?"

Ye Qingcheng quickly stood up at the sound, sweetly saying, "Grandfather, please take a seat."

Ye Batian happily sat down. At this point, Ye Hao stood up and seriously looked at Ye Batian, whose face was full of wrinkles and whose head had sparse hair. Ye Hao, feeling a touch of sadness, saluted, saying, "Old man, you've dedicated your life to the military, giving so much. But alas, time is a merciless blade, carving its marks on you. The younger generation salutes you, old man."

"Hehe, young man, no need for such courtesy," Ye Batian waved his hand for Ye Hao to sit down.

Ye Hao was not overly polite, and after sitting down, he smiled and said, "Then, I'll make my move."

"Please..." The old man also raised his hand, inviting Ye Hao to make his move...

However, Ye Hao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Old man, after you, please."

"Then I'll go ahead, Qingcheng, mount the horse," the old man said, but didn't play himself.

"Haha, even after a lifetime of commanding troops, the old man remains unchanged!" Ye Hao laughed, this was a compliment to Ye Batian's consistency.

Ye Batian chuckled but said nothing.

At this moment, Hou Guangfu, Hou Guanggui, and Hou Zhong rudely barged in.

A bright figure swiftly darted past, this was the bodyguard by the old man's side...

The speed... how fast! That was Ye Hao's first thought, even more impressive than his Instant Flash move. Thinking of this, Ye Hao was also startled, wondering if Yanjing had many hidden masters?

"Young man, it's your turn. Stay focused..." the old man reminded Ye Hao.

At this time, Liu Su turned her head, her gaze coldly fixed on Hou Guangfu and Hou Guanggui, secretly transmitting, "If you don't want to die, your Hou Family had better not provoke Ye Hao, or don't blame me, Bei Liusu, for showing no mercy and wiping out your entire Hou Family."

Liu Su's secret transmission made Hou Guangfu and Hou Guanggui's expressions turn to fear. They heard a name that struck terror into them... Bei Liusu...

"Get out!" Liu Su said 'get out' again, causing the two to break out in cold sweat, taking the bewildered Hou Zhong and leaving quickly, inner turbulence raging.

After doing all this, Liu Su turned back to watch Ye Hao and the old man play chess, her gaze on Ye Hao soft and gentle...(To be continued.
