  To Tang Hao, those people were no better than idiots.

  Tang Hao’s expression darkened and he blared his horn hard one more time.

  Beeeeeep!

  That person furrowed his brows and covered his ears.

  “F*ck your mother. Are you crazy?” He cursed loudly and lifted his leg in preparation to kick the car.

  Tang Hao’s gaze sharpened. He activated the jade talismans in the car. A translucent light shield appeared and instantly dissipated. The person’s foot landed at the exact moment the light shield was on.

  A shockwave sent the person flying backward. The back of his head struck the ground with a heavy thud.

  That person was utterly confused. He did not know what just happened.

  He could vaguely remember that a burst of energy from the car door had pushed him backward.

  How was that possible though?

  The car that he kicked was an A8 with a normal door and not some spring-loaded trap.

  He got up as he rubbed the back of his head. His expression was extremely dark and his scattered hair made him look flustered.

  “What just happened?” He mumbled, then touched the car door.

  He became even more confused after touching the door. There was nothing special about it.

  “I don’t believe it. Don’t tell me that the car is sentient?”

  He gritted his teeth, then kicked at the car again.

  He was once again sent flying and his head struck the ground. His head was spinning and he did not know what was going on.

  ‘What the hell just happened?’

  The female workers were confused when they saw the scene.

  “F*ck this, I don’t believe it!” He got off the ground again. His teeth were gritted and he looked somewhat crazed.

  He rushed forward and kicked at the car for a few more times, and each time he was sent flying. He was losing his mind.

  The female workers shook their heads. ‘There must be something wrong with that guy!’ They thought.

  “Sigh, too bad! He’s such a handsome man, but too bad he’s a lunatic!” The female workers talked among themselves.

  The person heard that, and he nearly popped a vein.

  Qin Xiangyi’s voice was heard from the factory. “What’s going on? Why are you all crowded there?”

  “Come here and see, Boss! There’s a lunatic in front of the factory.”

  Qin Xiangyi came out to take a look.

  ‘That’s Lil Tang’s car. So who’s the other guy?’ She was surprised.

  That person had just got on his feet again and was stunned when he saw Qin Xiangyi. He frantically tidied his clothes and hair. Then, he displayed an eager smile on his face and walked over.

  “Long time no see, Xiangyi!”

  He examined Qin Xiangyi closely as he walked toward her. “Xiangyi, I haven’t seen you for five or six years. You’ve become more beautiful,” he said earnestly.

  Qin Xiangyi was surprised. She looked closely at him and said, “It’s you!”

  Then, her expression sank. “Why are you here, Xue Kai?”

  “I’ve returned just for you, Xiangyi!” Xue Kai said with a smile.

  Qin Xiangyi glared coldly at him. “Don’t call me Xiangyi, I’m not that close to you. Also, haven’t I told you that I have a boyfriend? You can stop looking for me!

  “You’re the one who didn’t treasure our relationship before, and now you’re here and acting all friendly. What’s the point?”

  Then, she walked around him and went toward the A8. She opened the car door and sat inside.

  “He is…?” Tang Hao asked.

  Qin Xiangyi hesitated. “His name is Xue Kai, my ex.”

  Tang Hao was surprised.

  ‘That handsome idiot is Sis Xiangyi’s ex?’

  Qin Xiangyi noticed Tang Hao’s weird expression. “He’s my ex, but it didn’t last for more than half a month. I’ve already forgotten about him. He went to Southport with his family and we haven’t been in contact.

  “Don’t you know? That guy is a douchebag. He confessed to several girls at once. I was so stupid back then to trust him and fall in love with him.

  “I found out about his two-timing after half a month. What’s more disgusting was that he sent the same confession letter to each of the girls.

  “Back then, he was the most popular guy in school. I truly liked him, and I was sad for a long time after we broke up.

  “That person is a pervert. He tricked many girls and claimed their virginity with that face. Fortunately, I left him early… Because of that, I’ve stayed single since then, and I didn’t have a boyfriend while in college.

  “After that, I stopped having an interest in guys until I met you!”

  Then, she reached out and grabbed Tang Hao’s hand.

  Tang Hao displayed understanding. “So he’s not a Southport native and is from the mainland. Looks like the years spent there has rotted his brain!”

  Qin Xiangyi was shocked. ‘I’ve talked so much about my past and that’s the only thing he cares about?’

  Tang Hao had heard about people like him before, about people who went to Southport for a few years and forgot their roots.

  Southporters usually think that they are better than people from mainland Huaxia.

  Evidently, the person in front of him was one of them.

  Tang Hao instantly lost all respect for him.

  “He’s not a native Southporter, and the Xue ancestral home is in Westridge. However, his elders migrated to Southport many years ago. I’ve heard that they are quite famous in Southport, and they run a large family business.

  “His family migrated to Southport while he was in his third year of high school. I haven’t seen him ever since then.

  “A few days ago, Xiaomo posted my photo as a joke in our chat group. That guy sent me a private message and tried to be friendly.

  “I ignored him at first, but I didn’t expect that he would show up here today.”

  Tang Hao’s expression became curious after he heard that.

  ‘So it’s all the photo’s fault!’

  It somewhat made sense when he thought about it. Sis Xiangyi was an attractive woman, and she became even more beautiful after taking the Jade Bone Pill. No wonder that guy came all the way from Southport to Westridge to look for her.

  However, he was not going to show any mercy to that guy for attempting to snatch his girlfriend.

  He lifted his head and glared coldly at the figure outside of his car.

  Xue Kai stood there and looked at Tang Hao. He had a sinister expression on his face.

  He did not expect that the person he had looked down upon was Qin Xiangyi’s boyfriend.

  He glanced at the A8 again and his eyes were filled with disdain.

  Someone driving an A8 in the mainland was considered rich, but Xue Kai was a Southporter with a billionaire family. That person was no more than a country bumpkin in his eyes.

  ‘That kid is no match for me. Xiangyi will eventually be mine.’

  He was also thinking of how to teach that kid a lesson.

  He gritted his teeth in anger when he remembered how he was played a fool earlier.

  Tang Hao and Qin Xiangyi returned home. It was about seven o’clock by the time they had finished dinner.

  Tang Hao received Liu Dajun’s call.

  “Hey, Lil Tang! Are you free tonight?” Liu Dajun asked.

  “What’s up?”

  “There’s a cocktail party tonight and a lot of the big businessmen in Westridge are attending. Do you want to come? Ol’ Li, Ol’ Huang, and the others are also invited.”

  “Cocktail party?” Tang Hao was surprised. “Who’s the host?”

  “It’s a businessman from Southport, and his name is Xue Cheng. The Xue family used to be from Westridge. They moved to Southport some time ago and made it big ther
e. Their company is called Sky Tycoon International Group. They have billions in assets!

  “Now, they’re returning to their hometown and they plan to invest in Westridge.

  “The Xue family is quite powerful. If they’re really pumping their money here, then they’ll be the head honchos in the Westridge business world. I’ve got to get myself acquainted with them.

  Tang Hao’s expression changed slightly.

  That businessman’s surname was Xue and he was from Southport. He must be related to that Xue Kai.

  “How will it be, Lil Tang, are you going?” Liu Dajun asked again.

  Tang Hao thought about it for a while and agreed to it.

  There was nothing to be afraid about. He wanted to know more about the Xue family.

  He got the address of the party from Liu Dajun, then told Sis Xiangyi about it.

  They dressed up formally to attend the dinner gathering. Tang Hao changed into his business suit, while Qin Xiangyi put on some light makeup and dressed in a black evening gown.

  She put on the jade bracelets and earring pendants, which enhanced her beauty beyond compare.

  The cocktail party was held at a high-class venue in the north of town. They arrived some time past eight o’clock.

  Many luxury cars were parked at the venue.

  Tang Hao parked his car, and both of them walked to the venue hand in hand.

  There was a small commotion when they arrived at the front entrance.

  Everyone who was at the front entrance turned to behold the beautiful figure.

  The figure was tall and slender. Her evening gown had brought out the curves of her perfect body very well.

  Her face was one that could launch a thousand ships.

  Everyone’s eyes glazed over when they saw her approach. A while later, they came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise.

  “It’s Qin the Femme Fatale!”

  “Qin the Femme Fatale is here!”

  Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

  Then, their gaze turned to the boy next to her.

  “Greetings, Boss Tang! Long time no see!” They crowded around Tang Hao and greeted him.

  All the business owners in Westridge District knew who Tang Hao was. The kid had started a healthcare products company at a young age and had achieved booming sales. He was a rising star in the business world of Westridge.

  Furthermore, he had many powerful people backing him, including the top leaders in the district government.

  If there was one person that they could not afford to cross, Tang Hao was that person.

  Tang Hao returned the greeting to each one of them.

  Another commotion happened when they entered the event hall.

  “You’re here, Lil Tang!”

  Liu Dajun and the others came to greet him.

  “See that person over there, Lil Tang? That’s him.” Liu Dajun pointed a finger at the middle of the hall, where four people were standing and chatting while holding wine glasses.

  Tang Hao knew three of them. They were the pioneers of the Westridge business world. The other person whom he did not recognize must be Xue Cheng from Southport.

  Tang Hao examined him closely. Xue Cheng was a tall and well-built man in his fifties. He had a gentlemanly and bookish face. At that moment, he was chatting intently with the three people.

  “The Xue family is quite well-connected in Westridge. Old Master Xue is very good friends with the three pioneers. Now that the Xue family is coming back to Westridge, the business scene will drastically change. I’ve heard that they’re pouring in a lot of money too. They plan to invest three hundred million yuan here,” Liu Dajun said.

  “That Xue family is pretty amazing. They’ve made it big in Southport,” President Li said.

  “Ha! This is their glorious return. They’ve made their money there, and so they’re showing it off here,” President Huang said.

  Tang Hao looked at Xue Cheng for a while, then turned elsewhere.

  He was chatting with Liu Dajun and the rest when he noticed a familiar figure coming in from the entrance. That person was none other than Xue Kai.

  However, he was not as handsome and cool as before. His head was currently wrapped in bandages. Everyone turned to look at him when he entered the hall.

  Everyone was shocked and started whispering to each other.

  Xue Cheng turned to look at his son and was shocked. “What happened…?”

  “Dad!” Xue Kai greeted his father. He had an indignant expression on his face. “Don’t you know? I met a bastard this afternoon. He pulled some dirty tricks and I nearly suffered a concussion.”

  Xue Kai’s eyes were spewing fire when he thought of the incident earlier that afternoon.

  “You must avenge me, Dad!”

  Chapter 305 - Everyone Left

  Xue Cheng was shocked when he heard that.

  They had not arrived at Westridge for two days, and someone was already looking for trouble with them!

  His expression immediately darkened. “Who is it? Who’s that bastard that beat you up?” Then, he stepped forward and inspected the wounds with great concern on his face.

  He was very protective of his son. He would feel very sorry for any bump or scrape his son suffered, and now his son was beaten up so badly that his head was bandaged.

  “Who’s the bastard that beat you up, Young Master Xue? What does he look like? Tell us and we’ll keep a lookout for you!”

  “Right, we’ll help you look for that bastard and teach them a lesson! I wonder who is so brazen to cross Young Master Xue?”

  Many people crowded around Xue Kai and eagerly offered him support.

  They knew that the Xue family was returning to Westridge District, and they would be a major force in the business scene there.

  Not only that, but the Xue family must have built an extensive social network in Southport. The people regarded the Xue family as a big tree with many branches and provided them shelter.

  That was why they were eager to present a good impression to the Xue family.

  Xue Kai’s injury was the perfect opportunity for them to do so.

  If they could find the culprit who beat up Young Master Xue and wreck him, they would easily gain the favor of the Xue family!

  Everyone in the gathering was a business owner, and they thought of the same thing.

  Xue Kai gritted his teeth. “That guy is quite young. I think he’s only a teenager!” He said resentfully.

  “What? He’s just a kid? He must be a hooligan! Don’t ever let me find him. I’ll kill him if I ever do!” Someone said savagely.

  “Eh, you don’t have to kill him! Breaking both his legs should be enough,” Xue Kai said.

  “How merciful of you!” That person said flatteringly, “Right, does that kid have any other characteristics? We won’t find him just based on his age!”

  “The kid is quite loaded. He drives an Audi A8.”

  “An A8? That doesn’t narrow it down by much. Many people drive A8s in the district.”

  Everyone shook their heads.

  Meanwhile, Liu Dajun and the others who were standing next to Tang Hao were quietly shocked. They turned to look at Tang Hao.

  ‘A teenager who drives an A8? Don’t tell me it’s Lil Tang!’

  “Any more specifics, Young Master Xue?” Someone near Tang Hao shouted.

  Xue Kai turned around. Just when he was about to answer that question, he happened to spot Tang Hao and Qin Xiangyi with the corner of his eye. He was immediately dumbstruck and his eyes gradually grew wider.

  Then, the muscles on his face twitched and contorted into something vicious.

  “Why are you here?” He roared. Then, he turned around and shouted at the people around him. “That’s him! That’s the bastard!”

  He lifted a finger and pointed at Tang Hao. His face was contorted with rage.

  Everyone was shocked. The kid who had beaten up Young Master Xue was brazen enough to show up at the party?
