The three men could not hide the mockery on their faces.
They had always looked down upon softies.
Tang Hao glanced at them but did not bother explaining himself.
“How… how can you say that?” Jiang Wanying shouted in frustration.
The three men were baffled.
“Young Miss…” The burly middle-aged man wanted to explain.
He knew when to keep his mouth shut when he saw Jiang Wanying’s face.
He turned and glared at Tang Hao.
‘Why did this kid come over from so far away? Does he think that he’s a hero?
‘Hmph! Kids. They don’t know what’s dangerous for them. Is he just trying to impress the Young Miss? Can’t he look at himself? He’s more like a zero than a hero!’
“Why aren’t you running away yet, you filthy kid? If you’re not leaving, then you’d better come in quickly! Don’t stand at the door like a target!” He said exasperatedly.
“Don’t mind him. He has a bad temper!” Jiang Wanying whispered.
She quickly pulled Tang Hao into the house.
After Tang Hao sat down inside, he asked Jiang Wanying, “What’s going on? Right, where are your parents?”
“We’ve… gotten separated,” Jiang Wanying said softly. Tang Hao could tell that she was very worried.
“And… your grandfather?” Tang Hao asked.
“He’s… gone. All this mess started when my grandfather passed away a few days ago,” Jiang Wanying said.
Chapter 507 - What An Amazing Student
Tang Hao understood the situation after Jiang Wanying’s explanation.
Jiang Wanying and her family arrived at Merrica about ten days ago. Her grandfather’s health was deteriorating by then. Two days ago, his situation worsened and passed away abruptly.
With the leader gone, his henchmen started to carry out their own schemes.
Several of her grandfather’s henchmen started fighting each other for the position of the triad leader.
They also wanted to capture Jiang Wanying’s family so that the other henchmen could recognize them as the true leader. They want to get their hands on Jiang Wanying the most, mainly because of her appearance.
They managed to escape under the cover of her grandfather’s trusted henchmen, though Jiang Wanying was separated from her parents.
“So that was what happened!” Tang Hao nodded.
‘That makes things easier!
‘Now that I’ve found Teacher Jiang, all I have to do next is to find her parents and see them safely board the airplane.’
“I don’t know where Dad and Mom are right now. Our passports are with those people. Even if we could escape, we still can’t go back to Huaxia.”
Jiang Wanying’s brows were fraught with worry.
She clenched Tang Hao’s hand tightly.
“Don’t worry!” Tang Hao smiled at her.
One of the men rolled his eyes when he saw that. Just when he was about to say something, a person at the door yelled, “Oh no, they’ve discovered our hideout!”
Tires screeched outside the house. Judging by the sound, Tang Hao could tell that there were many cars.
“All the people inside, listen carefully! Throw down your weapons and surrender peacefully!” Someone shouted from the cars.
“Never!” The two people guarding the door yelled back.
“Quick, Young Miss. Let’s go out from the back door.” The muscular man stood up and prepared to lead Jiang Wanying out of the house.
“Why are we running away?” Tang Hao said calmly. He remained seated.
“F*ck you! Don’t you know the current situation we’re in, kid? They’ve brought cars full of people, but there are only three of us! How are we going to fight them?” The man yelled angrily.
Tang Hao gave him a side-eye. He pulled Jiang Wanying’s hand and sat her down again. “Sit here and don’t move. I’ll go out for a bit and will be back soon.”
“What did I just say, kid…” The man was livid in an instant.
Tang Hao smiled at him. “Don’t worry, that’ll be easy.”
He stepped out of the room and headed to the front door.
“Hey! What are you doing?” The two people guarding the door were worried.
“Just taking a walk!”
Tang Hao smiled at them, opened the front door, and walked out.
“That kid is crazy! We’d better leave fast, Young Miss!’ The man pulled Jiang Wanying’s wrist and wanted to run away.
The people in black clothes outside the door stood in a row. They were shocked by what they saw.
“Who’s this kid? I’ve never seen him before!”
“Doesn’t matter. We’ll kill him nonetheless.”
They pointed their guns at Tang Hao with ferocious expressions on their faces.
“Oh no, he’s finished!”
The two people behind the door panicked.
Bang!
A shot was fired.
However, when they looked carefully, the kid was still standing there, unscathed. Somehow, he had a gun in his hand.
Thud!
One of the men in black clothes fell on the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each of the men fell as gunshots rang out. Blood spurted from their heads.
The two people at the door opened their eyes and mouths wider and wider. They seemed as though they were looking at a ghost.
‘Oh my god!
‘Am I dreaming? Otherwise, how can there be something so ridiculous?’
The people in the house were not the only ones shocked by the scene. The people in the cars were also shocked and did not know how to react.
After a string of gunshots, only one of those people in black clothes remained standing.
That person’s legs were shaking, and his face was pale.
‘What kind of gun skill is that?
‘Every shot is a headshot. Is that kid still human? Where is he from?’
He fell on the ground on his knees and lifted his arms in the air.
It was suddenly eerily silent all around.
The three men in the house froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
“Alright, it’s taken care of!”
Tang Hao dusted his hands, turned around, and grinned at the people in the house.
The three people came to their senses and shuddered.
‘Dammit!
‘Did the Young Miss say that he is only a student? What kind of joke is that? How can a student be so powerful?
‘Each of his gunshots is a headshot. That is godlike.
‘The kid’s expression didn’t change when he fired the gun. He might have killed many people before. How cruel!’
The muscular man was baffled when he looked at Jiang Wanying, then at Tang Hao. ‘Don’t tell me all the students in Huaxia are equally amazing?’
Jiang Wanying was also shocked, but she soon regained her composure. “Didn’t I say that he’s amazing?” She grumbled.
Tang Hao dragged the survivor into the house.
After some interrogation, they got to know that Jiang Wanying’s parents were currently in their boss’s hands. Their boss was none other than Hong Sen, whom Tang Hao had met before in Huaxia.
Hong Sen was the one who currently held the most influence.
“Let’s go!”
Tang Hao led Jiang Wanying toward his cab.
“Hey, where are you going?” The three men were confused.
“What else? We’ll have to save her parents. I’ll be leaving you all behind if you don’t want to leave,” Tang Hao said impatiently.
The three men hesitated, but eventually got into the back seat of Tang Hao’s car and sat in a row.
“Sit tight!”
Tang Hao started the car and floored the accelerator.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the destination.
The three men stumbled out of the car and threw up.
“You guys wait here!”
/> Tang Hao walked toward the mansion in front of him.
Very soon, gunfire and screams of agony could be heard coming from the mansion and echoed in the night sky.
The three men’s knees were weak after they were done emptying the contents of their stomachs.
They looked at the mansion with incredulous expressions on their faces.
“Young Miss, just who is… the Young Master?” The muscular man’s voice had a tinge of respect in it.
“He’s not Young Master!” Jiang Wanying blushed. “He’s… only my student!”
The three people nearly rolled their eyes.
Even an idiot could see that the kid seemed to be more than friends with the Young Miss.
“Young Master is amazing!”
“He’s not only amazing, but he’s also a freak! He’s superhuman!”
The three men talked among each other as they looked toward the mansion.
Very soon, the gunfire stopped.
The mansion was deathly silent.
The people outside the mansion waited uneasily until they saw several figures walking out. The one in the lead was Tang Hao dragging someone in one of his hands. Behind them were Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.
“Dad! Mom!”
Jiang Wanying cried tears of joy. She got out of the car and ran ahead.
“Are you OK?”
“We’re OK. It’s all thanks to Lil Tang!” Mrs. Jiang smiled calmly.
“As for this guy… deal with him however you wish!”
Tang Hao said as he tossed the man in his hands at the men.
That person was none other than Hong Sen.
His face was swollen like a pig. and tears were streaming down his cheeks, a far cry from his usual arrogant vigor.
Hong Sen was in the pits of despair at the moment.
Back in Huaxia, he was locked up in a military detention camp all because of that kid.
Now that he was about to climb to the position of the triad leader, the kid appeared at the most crucial moment and shattered his dreams.
‘Dammit! Does this kid have a grudge with me?’
He was seething inside but had nowhere to release his anger.
“Ah, right! Get a few more ambulances to come. Many people are injured inside!” Tang Hao added.
He turned to speak to Mrs. Jiang, “It’s already very late, Auntie. Shall we rest here?”
“Alright.” Mrs. Jiang nodded.
Now that the situation was under control, there was no reason to leave so quickly.
Chapter 508 - Department X
Jiang Wanying tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
She was both physically and mentally exhausted, but she did not feel sleepy at all.
Whenever she closed her eyes, she was reminded of the harrowing escape she had experienced a few days ago. That made her open her eyes in fear.
She looked at the alarm clock next to her bed.
It was five o’clock in the morning.
The sky was beginning to light up.
She flipped to her side one more time. A figure surfaced in her mind. He was a young and handsome man with a pair of deep and animated eyes.
He looked so handsome whenever he smiled.
Her heart started thumping faster as her mind wandered.
She could feel her body heating up, as though she was having a fever.
Her mind started wandering to all sorts of scenarios.
She sat up abruptly, pressed on her boiling cheeks, and mumbled, “Don’t tell me… I’ve fallen in love with him?”
She hesitated.
“No, I’m his teacher! I can’t fall in love with my student!
“He also has many admirers, including the beauty queen of the university, the arts faculty, and others…” She pouted enviously.
“No, no, I can’t do that!”
She shook her head like a rattle.
Then, she fell on the bed again. She flipped on her bed a dozen times before sitting up once more, rolling her blanket into a bundle, and getting off the bed with a newfound determination.
She opened her room door, then tiptoed to the next room.
She lifted her hand and gently knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me!” Jiang Wanying spoke softly.
The room door opened.
Tang Hao was shocked when he saw Jiang Wanying standing there with her blanket in her hands. “Teacher Jiang, what are you…”
“I can’t sleep!” Jiang Wanying lowered her head and mumbled, “I’m afraid!”
She lifted her head and looked at Tang Hao with puppy eyes.
Tang Hao felt awkward.
He was afraid that sleeping in the same room might cause a misunderstanding. Moreover, Teacher Jiang’s parents were just sleeping next door!
“That’s… not very appropriate, isn’t it?” Tang Hao said awkwardly.
Jiang Wanying was dressed in a light and sheer negligee. Her figure was partially obscured behind the translucent cloth.
Even Tang Hao could barely resist his urges.
Jiang Wanying had a unique aura of unblemished innocence, but her body was so alluring. It was like the combination of an angel and a devil.
“What’s not appropriate?”
Jiang Wanying grunted and went into the room. “Let me warn you, don’t think of bullying me! I’m your teacher!”
She walked toward his bed, fell on it, then covered herself with the blanket.
She turned sideways and looked at Tang Hao sleepily. “I’m going to sleep! Good night!”
Tang Hao was helpless.
He closed the door, went to the other corner of the bed, and curled up there.
Very soon, Tang Hao could hear her steady breathing.
Tang Hao closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
It was past ten o’clock when Tang Hao woke up. He turned to see that Teacher Jiang’s body had shifted in her sleep and was almost pressing on his body. Her chest was half-exposed.
“Ahem!” Tang Hao coughed and repressed his urges.
When he sat up, Jiang Wanying mumbled and stirred. She rubbed her eyes, stretched, and yawned.
She noticed Tang Hao by her side.
She opened her mouth and was ready to scream, but she soon realized something and quickly covered her mouth.
Her face turned as red as a tomato in an instant. She pulled the blanket and wrapped it tightly around her body.
“Nothing happened last night… right?” She mumbled with her head lowered.
“Nothing!” Tang Hao said helplessly.
‘You weren’t drunk. What could have happened?’
“Oh!”
Jiang Wanying breathed a sigh of relief, though she felt a little disappointed.
She quickly left the room with the blanket.
In the afternoon, Tang Hao changed into a black suit and attended the funeral with Jiang Wanying.
After Hong Sen was captured the night before, a few other wannabe leaders surrendered in the morning, and everything was once again under control. The funeral went ahead as planned.
The funerals in Merrica were a lot simpler than those in Huaxia.
The atmosphere was the same, though. It was solemn and sorrowful.
Mrs. Jiang lost her voice while crying, while Jiang Wanying also cried for a long time.
Everyone dispersed after the funeral ended.
Tang Hao suddenly felt a hint of evil qi among the crowd.
He lifted his head and traced it to someone in the crowd.
It was a male Westerner dressed in a black suit and shades. He carried a short black staff in his right hand, which was the source of the evil qi.
‘A Western warlock, and an evil one at that!’
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes. He squeezed through the crowd and walked toward that man.
The man was surprised. His expression changed drastically when he noticed Tang Hao.
He kept his short staff away, turned around, hastily
got into his car, and drove away.
“I need to attend to something. I’ll be gone for a while,” Tang Hao said to Jiang Wanying and followed that car.
Eventually, the man’s trail ended up in an alley in the city area.
“If there’s anything, we can talk. I’m only doing this because someone’s paying me. Also, I didn’t manage to carry out whatever I wanted to do, did I? There’s no need to get physical. It’ll be very troublesome if we attract those people here,” the Westerner smiled apologetically.
Tang Hao smirked. “Tell me, who sent you?”
“Well… that’s not a very appropriate question to ask, isn’t it? I have my principles. I took the money but didn’t finish the job. I don’t think I should divulge my client’s identity too, right?” The Westerner said.
“Don’t blame me for being cruel then!”
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes. He flicked his wrist, and a jade talisman shot out.
“F*ck! You’re serious! Are you crazy?” The man exclaimed in surprise.
The Westerner’s expression turned vicious. “Don’t think I’m scared of you, Huaxianese. I just don’t want to cause trouble!”
He lifted the short staff in his hand and fired a beam of black light.
Boom!
A jade talisman flew out and exploded when it touched the black light. The shockwave sent the Westerner flying.
He screamed in pain, flew backward, and slammed heavily on the wall.
His eyes opened wide as he stared at Tang Hao.
“Who… who are you? How could you…” He spoke laboriously while clutching his chest.
Tang Hao stepped forward and said, “Now, you should tell me who’s your client!”
After receiving the information, Tang Hao reduced him to ashes.
Meanwhile, an alarm sounded at a base somewhere in Merrica.
“This is HQ! This is HQ! There’s an incident in L City. The current threat level is Level E.
All personnel nearby should go there and report your findings!”
