The old lady in the car seemed to be in too much discomfort, and with one hand, she desperately pounded her chest...

Ye Hao stepped forward to soothe her troubled heart with his Inner Breath and said with a smile, "Grandma, we'll be heading to Nanyue soon, okay?"

The old lady nodded. Actually, she couldn't be considered an old lady; she looked like she was in her forties, and her skin was quite fair and delicate, making her seem like she was in her thirties from a distance.

"Alright, Hao, you make the decisions. From now on, this old lady will rely on you all to take care of me," she said.

"Grandma, you're not old at all; you're as young as Mom," Lin Ruyu went up and held the old lady's hands, saying with a smile.

It was then that the old lady had the chance to look in the mirror, and when she saw her reflection...

She was naturally quite shocked.

Back at the Lin family estate, Ye Hao packed his things and took Lin Ruyu, the old lady, and Bai Linglong onto a flight to Nanyue.

He originally planned to attend Xu Shaoyuan and Chen Shuyan's matchmaking, but when he was about to leave Yanjing, Chen Shuyan called and told him that Xu Shaoyuan told everyone from the prominent families that he wasn't good enough for Chen Shuyan and hoped she would find a better man. They would just be friends from then on.

As for how their families dealt with it afterwards, Ye Hao couldn't know.

Xu Shaoyuan's sense of responsibility made Ye Hao appreciate him even more, realizing he wasn't just an ordinary playboy and someone worth befriending.

At least he was responsible...

When the group took a plane and left Yanjing, Lin Tian and Yan Shuiyue had to meet with other business tycoons. Lin Tian couldn't leave so soon, so he had to let Lin Ruyu take the old lady to Nanyue for the New Year.

The news of Ye Hao's return to Nanyue quickly reached his brothers, who all came to pay their New Year respects. Ye Hao was generous, giving a 100,000 yuan red envelope to anyone who came to greet him.

Ye Hao believed that since he earned so much money, he might as well use it on his brothers to let them eat well and have fun.

"Boss, what's the plan next?" Xue Zhaolong asked Ye Hao during a toast.

"Nothing much, but we need to go to Flower City on the fifth," Ye Hao said with a smile.

"By the way, how's the Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit thing I asked you about?"

"Don't worry about it, Li has got it all under control, no loose ends. Even when they brought the girls, they came in from the city in batches, haha," Xue Zhaolong laughed heartily.

"You rascal, can't you see my daughter is here?" Ye Hao glared at him and huffed.

"Hehe, I see, I see." Xue Zhaolong and the others particularly liked the little girl Linglong, each handing her a red envelope of tens of thousands when they met.

Although Bai Linglong was a bit unfamiliar with those strangers, after seeing Xue Zhaolong and the others with no ill intentions, she gradually became bolder.

"Uncle Long, Uncle Song, Uncle Zhen, here's a toast to you," Bai Linglong giggled, raising her glass with a drink.

"Haha, let's toast you too, Little One," the group laughed heartily and drank heavily.

After arriving in Nanyue, the old lady felt better, no longer so gloomy. At least, seeing these young people chat and boast, she felt it was quite lively.

However, what puzzled Ye Hao was that Zhuorong Town seemed increasingly out of sorts, though he couldn't pinpoint why.

When everyone had eaten and drunk enough, it was nearly eleven at night, and they all gradually left.

At this point, however, a young man in all-white clothing came to visit.

This person was none other than Ye Hao's new subordinate Lv Dong, whom Ye Hao tasked with sweeping Peng City's basement.

"Happy New Year, Boss," Lv Dong congratulated as he entered the hall.

"Haha, same to you. This is a red envelope my grandma prepared for the New Year," Ye Hao took out a 100,000 yuan red envelope from his pocket and handed it over...

"Ah! I can't accept this, no way, I can't take Auntie's red envelope," Lv Dong waved his hand repeatedly.

"If I say take it, you take it," Ye Hao glared at him and said.

"Alright then, I'll accept it," Lv Dong reluctantly took it but still thanked Lin Ruyu's grandma.

The old lady knew that Ye Hao wanted her to integrate into his small family sooner, so she didn't say much and accepted whatever Ye Hao arranged. She secretly nodded in approval of Ye Hao's conduct.

Ye Hao had another drink with Lv Dong, and by around one o'clock, only the two of them were left in the hall.

Ye Hao asked with a smile, "How's it going? Encountering any difficulties?"

"Boss, of course, there are difficulties, but these difficulties can currently be overcome. However, I've recently encountered a rival," Lv Dong said, a bit troubled.

"What kind of difficulties?"

"There are four underground forces in Peng City: Gambling King Ran Tai, Poison King Hong Guang, arms dealer Ran Tai, and a local underground force, the Deep Well Gang. They control the entire underground of Peng City. Our enterprise initially didn't come across them, so there was no conflict, but since our enterprise has grown, it has started to touch some people's nerves, and they want to suppress us. If our enterprise grows to 300 people, they'll suppress us and might even try to destroy us."

"Haha! Is it the Deep Well Gang causing trouble?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.

"How did you know, Boss?"

"I knew about that gang when I first arrived in Peng City, just never had much contact. You must have run into them, right?"

"Yes, but not the main gang, just the person in charge of Anbao District."

"Let's have a detailed report."

"The Deep Well Gang is spread throughout Peng City, divided into five districts, each with a boss. Our recent activities have been in Anbao District, where the Deep Well Gang has over ten thousand members, controlling over a hundred entertainment venues, and hundreds of leisure clubs. Boss Qiu San is National Martial Arts fifth-degree, with two fourth-degree martial arts fighters. I just recently broke through to the fourth degree, so I stand no chance against them."

"Tell me your plan," Ye Hao picked up a cup on the table and took a sip of tea, asking.

"I was thinking of starting from Anbao District, not contacting the Deep Well Gang, letting them do their thing while we do ours..."

"No, no, no. What I want is complete control over Peng City's entire underground," Ye Hao shook his head and smiled.

"But Boss, I only have about 200 people, and that took a lot of effort to gather. Although we have three KTV clubs and one leisure club, this strength is still a bit lacking compared to the Deep Well Gang..."

"Haha, can't we disrupt them from the inside?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.

"That's possible, but the problem is that Qiu San is tough to deal with, and they've been entrenched in Anbao District for years, with many of them armed," Lv Dong said, a bit hesitant.

"Don't forget that I'm a weapons-dealing arms dealer," Ye Hao said with a smile...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read it on m.qidian.com.)
