“Thank you! Thank you for coming to support me!”
She lightly inhaled and said gratefully. As she spoke, she bowed.
Then, she looked to the right side of the stage. Her eyes flashed with joy when she saw that familiar figure.
A moment later, the lights on the stage dimmed, and a spotlight was cast on her. The music began. It was “Midsummer Snow.”
She lifted the microphone next to her mouth and started singing.
In an instant, the entire stadium fell silent.
Everyone was spellbound. Many people started to sing along.
She sang several songs in a row, then stopped. Her gaze swept across the audience, and she smiled. “How about some audience interaction? For the next few songs, I’ll find someone to sing with me on stage.”
In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.
Countless people stood up and raised their hands.
Liu Bingyao closed her eyes and turned around. She raised her hand and pointed to a spot below the stage.
When she opened her eyes, she said, “The girl in the red shirt. Yes, that’s you. Do you know how to sing? Can you come up on stage and sing with me?”
The girl who had been chosen sat there in disbelief.
Then, she shrieked excitedly and rushed onto the stage.
The rest of the people were disappointed.
“There are still two chances!” Liu Bingyao laughed.
The girl was very excited at first, but she soon caught up with Liu Bingyao’s rhythm and gave a passable performance.
Next, Liu Bingyao chose another girl.
The third time, the crowd became even more excited.
“Pick me, Bingyao!”
They waved their hands in the air.
Tang Hao knew many of them. They were from Z University. Fang Qiming was also among them.
“I know all your songs, Bingyao! I’m very good at singing. They call me the Prince of Love Songs!” Fang Qiming stood up and waved.
On the stage, Liu Bingyao looked around, and her gaze paused at Tang Hao’s direction for several seconds.
Then, she closed her eyes.
Her body turned around, and eventually, she faced Tang Hao. She raised her hand and pointed directly at him.
In an instant, everyone sighed audibly.
“Sigh, it’s not me again. I’m so unlucky!”
“Who is it this time? Why are they so lucky?”
They stretched their necks and looked in the direction that Liu Bingyao was pointing.
When they looked closely, they were all stunned.
‘He’s a male!
‘Dammit, he’s so f*cking lucky!’
The jealousy in their hearts began to burn.
They did not think too much about the previous two lucky winners because they were female. However, they were incredibly jealous when they saw a male being chosen.
“Dammit! Who Is It? How could he be so lucky?”
Fang Qiming was also jealous.
He stretched his neck and looked in that direction, but the man was wearing a cap and his face was obscured.
At that moment, Liu Bingyao opened her eyes and shouted, “The boy in black. Yes, that’s you! Do you know how to sing? Come up and join me!”
Then, she winked at Tang Hao mischievously.
Tang Hao smiled helplessly, stood up, and walked up to the stage.
Chapter 730 - Where’s the Justice
At that moment, all eyes in the stadium were on Tang Hao.
“Damn! It’s a man! He’s so lucky!”
The men were all envious.
Tang Hao walked onto the stage with his head lowered.
At that moment, the people in the audience saw his face clearly.
Fang Qiming and the others from Z University were stunned. ‘Damn! Isn’t that Tang Hao?
‘That’s just cheating!
‘How else would you explain the coincidence? So many people here, but she chose her friend. No one would believe that it was only a coincidence.’
Fang Qiming’s facial muscles twitched, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
He sat back down angrily and looked at the two people on the stage. He was so angry that his stomach hurt.
“Hmph! So what if you’re on the stage? Aren’t you going to embarrass yourself? I don’t believe that you can sing! Even if you do, you won’t sing better than me!” He said angrily.
Then, he crossed his legs and prepared to watch the joke.
At that time, many Z University students recognized Tang Hao and burst into cheers.
“It’s the Tang Hao, the final boss!”
“He’s cheating! How can Beauty Queen Liu do that?”
Then, they began to discuss.
“Can Tang Hao sing?”
“I don’t know! I’ve never heard that he can sing. I don’t think he’s anything special!”
“That’s true. His singing should be unremarkable!”
Many fans of Liu Bingyao from Z University attended the concert. When they heard the discussion, they could not help but put two and two together.
They knew that Tycoon Qing Feng was from Z University and that he was Liu Bingyao’s former classmate. Could that person be Tycoon Qing Feng?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that was the case.
Why would Liu Bingyao invite that guy on stage if he was not Tycoon Qing Feng?
“That seems to be Tycoon Qing Feng!”
They whispered among themselves and the news around the entire stadium soon.
“Is he really Tycoon Qing Feng? He’s quite handsome! Does he have rich parents?”
“Wow! I came here to watch a concert, but I didn’t expect to see Tycoon Qing Feng in person! That’s so worth it!”
As they discussed fervently, the entire stadium was once again in an uproar.
On the stage, Tang Hao took the microphone from Liu Bingyao, though he seemed quite nervous as the tens of thousands of people in the audience looked at him.
Bing Yao gave him a cheeky smile and said, “Relax, don’t be nervous. It’ll be fine!” Then, she said, “The next song is called ‘Ten Thousand Light Years.’ Do you know how to sing it?”
Tang Hao scratched his head and said, “I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never sung it before!”
The audience burst into laughter.
Fang Qiming sneered, “What’s the point if you don’t know how to sing it? Get off the stage and pick me instead!”
The Z University students were excited.
‘That Tang Hao is going to make a fool of himself!’
“Hurry up and record it!” They took out their phones and pointed them at the stage.
“Then… Let’s begin!”
Liu Bingyao made a gesture, and the musicians began to play.
“I’ll start first!” Liu Bingyao smiled and picked up the microphone. She sang the first line and signaled Tang Hao to continue.
“It’s coming, it’s coming!”
The Z university students were getting more and more excited.
At that moment, Tang Hao picked up the microphone and started singing.
When he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned silent.
The Z University students who were holding their cell phones, ready to watch the joke, were all dumbfounded. Many of them dropped their phones.
They did not realize that. Their eyes were transfixed on the stage.
Their eyes and mouths opened wider and wider.
Fang Qiming was also dumbfounded.
He sat there in a daze, and his mind went blank.
‘F*ck! Is that really Tang Hao’s voice?
‘I thought that he didn’t know how to sing! I thought that he’d make a fool of himself! Those are all lies!
‘What the hell? How could that guy sing so well? Even a professional singer couldn’t sing that well!’
After listening for a while, even he had to admit that his voice was amazing!
Then
, he shook his head and suddenly woke up.
“Pah! Pah! I’m not going to admit that he’s a good singer!” He covered his ears with his hands.
The other people in the stadium were caught in a daze.
At the chorus, the two people started singing together.
The entire stadium was silent when they finished singing.
Everyone was still caught up in the rhythm.
Eventually, the audience came to their senses, and they erupted into thunderous applause.
“He sings so well! He can even be a singer!”
“Is he really Tycoon Qing Feng? That was amazing!”
Everyone was talking excitedly.
The Z University students were dejected.
“Sigh! How could that be? This is ridiculous. Even his singing is so good!”
They all frowned, not willing to believe it.
“One more song!”
Someone shouted in the audience, and more and more people started shouting the same.
Tang Hao could not decline and sang another song.
“You can sing very well!” Liu Bingyao said with a smile. Then, she shook hands with him and thanked him.
It was already past ten o’clock when the concert ended.
Tang Hao exited the stadium, but he did not leave. He parked the car in front of a small door and waited for a long time before a beautiful figure came out and got into the car.
“Shall I send you home?”
Liu Bingyao rubbed her stomach and said, “I’m so hungry. Let’s go eat something first!”
“Then let’s go to my shop. It’s still open!”
“OK!”
Tang Hao started the car and drove out.
“You did well today!” Tang Hao said.
“I’ve been preparing for today for a long time! Speaking of which, your performance today is even better than mine. If you debut, you’ll definitely be popular and gain millions of fans.”
Tang Hao laughed and said, “Nah, I’ll pass. Celebrity life isn’t for me!”
After dinner, Tang Hao sent her home.
“Then… I’ll be leaving!”
After sending her to the house, Tang Hao said.
“Wait!” She called out and walked out of the house.
“Is there anything else?” Tang Hao asked.
She stood on tiptoe at the door, and she kneaded her hands behind her back.
“Um… thank you so much for today! Thank you for singing on stage with me, and thank you for cooking for me earlier!” She lowered her head and hugged Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was startled, and his gaze became gentle.
“Remember to sleep early and have a good rest!” Tang Hao said.
“OK!”
She hugged him for a while more before she stepped back and entered the house.
“I’ll be leaving then!”
Tang Hao waved and turned around to leave.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she eventually stopped herself. She leaned against the door in a daze and watched him leave, looking a little sad and reluctant.
“Maybe it’s not the time yet,” she muttered. “I have to work harder…”
She stood at the door for a long time before she walked in.

That concert had some major after-effects.
“You sing so well, Brother Hao!”
At noon the next day, while having lunch, Yan’er said, “My classmates want to invite you to go karaoke with them!”
When he bumped into Jiang Wanying, she also teased him, “Aren’t you Z University’s God of Singing?”
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and felt helpless.
It took several days for things to calm down.
In that period, Tang Hao had been keeping an eye on Merrican news.
More and more accidents were happening there, as though there was a war going on.
However, who was the opponent?
Were the warlocks fighting among themselves?
With more and more of those incidents happening, there was still no news of Thea. Tang Hao could not remain calm anymore.
“I should go and take a look!”
After making up his mind, he contacted Trendy Taoist Master to prepare a new passport and visa. Then, he booked a ticket and flew to Merrica.
…
A plane landed in N City International Airport, Merrica.
Tang Hao walked out of the airplane with the crowd. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he raised his hand to sense the qi fluctuations. Then, he frowned.
If he remembered correctly, White Mountain was not very far from N City, but he could not sense Thea’s exact location. He could only sense her approximate direction.
That also meant that the two were too far apart.
He estimated that he would have to go into the Merrican hinterland.
“Why did she go there?” Tang Hao frowned.
He took a bus to the city, bought a train ticket, and headed west.
He could sense her more clearly when he reached the central part of Merrica. He then rented a car and drove away.
After driving for a long time, he finally reached his destination.
In front of him, there was a majestic mountain range that stretched endlessly. Through sensing the blood jade bead, he could tell that Thea was inside.
He happily drove forward.
Soon, he noticed that the situation was not quite right.
He heard the roar of a fighter jet coming from the sky.
Tang Hao was shocked. He slowed down the car and poked his head out to take a look. Not far away in the sky, two fighter jets flew past.
Tang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when the fighter jets flew away into the distance.
“Phew! That was close!”
He patted his chest and muttered.
He thought that his identity was exposed and the Merrican army was coming after him.
He furrowed his brows. There was something wrong with the situation. Why would there be fighter jets in the middle of nowhere?
After thinking for a moment, he continued to drive forward.
Soon, he saw Black Eagles appear above the mountains in the distance. They were circling around as if they were searching for something.
On the road ahead, there was a checkpoint with a row of armed soldiers.
A temporary military base was set up on the wasteland some distance from the checkpoint. Judging from its size, there were probably thousands of troops stationed there. There were also rows of tanks and armored vehicles.
He sensed that Thea was not in the military base.
“What’s going on?”
Tang Hao was completely confused.
He pondered for a moment and continued to drive forward.
As he got closer to the checkpoint, a soldier came up and shouted, “You can’t go past here. Turn around quickly!”
Tang Hao stopped the car and stuck his head out. He smiled at the soldier, “What’s going on, Sir? I’ve always been driving past this road without any problems! Is there an accident?”
The soldier frowned and waved his hand impatiently. “If I tell you to leave, then leave. Why are you asking so many questions? That is a restricted military area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”
Tang Hao tried to look inside, but the soldier blocked his line of sight. “Hurry up and leave!” He shouted fiercely.
“Alright, alright, I’ll be going!”
Tang Hao smiled, started the car, and prepared to turn around.
He wanted to stop the car some distance away, then sneak back to investigate the situation.
At that moment, a loud explosion could be heard from within the mountain range. It was the sound of a missile exploding.
Following that, he could hear the sound of another missile being fired.
Tang Hao looked up and fo
cused his gaze. He saw a Black Eagle hovering in the sky firing several missiles towards the mountain range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions shook the sky and earth. He could even feel slight tremors from where she was.
From within the mountain range, a volley of rockets flew out along with countless bolts of fire and lightning.
The Black Eagle wanted to escape, but the firepower was too dense. Soon, it was struck and exploded into bits.
The other Black Eagles gathered together and fired a wave of missiles.
The military base immediately sounded an alarm.
The ear-piercing sound of the alarm spread far and wide across the wilderness.
One after another, squads of Merrican soldiers rushed out and jumped into tanks. Soon, the tank guns began to turn and point in the direction of the conflict.
Other than the armored vehicles and tanks, there were also rows of artillery guns.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless shells and rockets were launched into the mountain range.
It was quite an awe-inspiring scene.
Tang Hao was stunned. The scene was like a Hollywood blockbuster!
‘Is there a need for that?’ He was speechless.
Early and middle period cultivators would not be able to withstand such intense firepower. They would immediately be blasted to bits.
As expected of the Merrican army, their equipment was many times better than the Hindustani and Nanyang troops.
Tang Hao could not help but be impressed.
Those soldiers did not have the time to pay attention to him. All of them were looking toward the mountain range.
After the first wave of bombardment, the second wave came half a minute later. Following that, two fighter jets came from behind and fired a volley of missiles.
Before Tang Hao could recover from his shock, there was another wave of explosions in the sky.
Another eight jets rushed over, including Vulcans and B2 bombers. When they flew near, they emptied their arsenals as though missiles did not cost money.
Tang Hao was dumbstruck.
That level of firepower was scary.
Even he would not be able to withstand the attack.
“Who’s the enemy?” Tang Hao muttered.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot into the sky from the mountains and turned into a vague human figure. It raised its hand and fired bolts of lightning toward the planes.
