“Sure!” Tang Hao immediately agreed.
The next day, Tang Hao boarded a plane and flew to the Capital.
He met General Bai at the office of the Agency.
“Quick! Put on your military uniform. I’ll bring you there!” General Bai said.
Tang Hao changed into his military uniform. The epaulets had been changed, and the two glittering gold stars represented the rank of lieutenant general.
“You look fantastic. Let’s go!”
General Bai took him outside, and they got into a black car.
The drive was smooth. Soon, they arrived at their destination.
They waited in a room.
Tang Hao sat there, feeling a little nervous.
About seven minutes later, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor. There were more than ten people.
Then, the room door opened, and a group of people walked in.
When Tang Hao saw them, he immediately stood up.
“I’ve finally met you, young comrade!”
The Premier walked over, smiled, and shook hands with Tang Hao. “I’ve often heard of your deeds. You’re a talent! If only we have more people in Huaxia like you!”
“You flatter me!” Tang Hao said humbly.
“Don’t be modest, and you don’t have to be nervous. Please sit down!”
Everyone sat down after shaking hands.
At first, Tang Hao was a little reserved, but he soon felt at ease.
They talked about many things, but the first thing on the agenda was the Yellow Flame Formation.
“That thing is not bad. It would be even better if we have a few more sets.”
Tang Hao could only smile apologetically and explain the production process.
“That’s a pity, but it doesn’t matter. Take your time! Oh right, I heard from Ol’ Zhou that you’re also called a divine doctor because of your medical skills!”
“I don’t consider myself a divine doctor, but I’m quite confident in my medical skills,” Tang Hao said.
Chapter 742 - Ice Goddess
“This young man is too modest!”
“That’s right!”
The people laughed.
“I heard that he went to River Delta City and revived a patient who was declared dead. It caused a sensation in the medical world. Even the arrogant senior doctors were convinced!” Someone laughed.
Tang Hao smiled modestly and said, “That was only a coincidence. Oh, right, should I give you a brief examination?”
“Sure! I’m already so old, and I have a lot of minor problems. Can they be treated?”
“That’ll be easy. I guarantee that my medicine will cure you!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“Haha! Then hurry up and take a look!”
Tang Hao checked them one by one. There was nothing major, but each one of them had minor problems that could be cured by a massage or a simple prescription.
“As expected of a divine doctor! I feel ten years younger after a massage.”
The group of people exclaimed in wonderment.
They chatted for a while more before they left. Tang Hao stood up respectfully and saw them out.
It was already past eight o’clock when he left the building.
“Are you going home today, or are you staying for a night?” General Bai asked in the car.
Tang Hao wanted to say that he would go home, but he quickly checked himself as the words were on the tip of his tongue. He remembered that Mu Xintong had said that he should visit her whenever he was in the Capital.
He had already forgotten to visit her once. If he forgot about it again, it would be very embarrassing the next time they met.
“I’ll stay for one night!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright!”
General Bai immediately arranged accommodations for him.
Tang Hao checked out early the next morning.
It was his third time in the Capital. The first time was to treat a patient, and the second time was to hunt down someone. He had never gone around the place properly.
After strolling around for the entire morning and having lunch, he took a cab to Q University.
Tang Hao felt a little emotional as he stood in front of Q University.
Q University was the dream destination for many Huaxianese high school students. He had fantasized about earning a spot in the prestigious university once, but he did not even get the chance to take the entrance examination.
He took a light breath and prepared to walk into the campus.
Suddenly, he remembered that he did not know Mu Xintong’s class or department. He did not even have her phone number or any other contact information.
“F*ck!”
Holding his phone, Tang Hao was stunned.
Q University was so big, and there were so many students. How was he supposed to find her?
He furrowed his brows and frowned.
“Maybe next time!” Tang Hao said to himself. However, he thought for a while and decided that it would be too much of a pity if he left without trying to search for her.
“Right, she should be very famous!”
Thinking of that, Tang Hao’s eyes lit up.
Mu Xintong was very beautiful. She should be considered a beauty queen at Q University. It would be weird if she was not famous.
Beautiful women would not be able to keep a low profile in universities.
Tang Hao entered the front gate and looked around him.
Many people walked in and out of the gate. They were dressed fashionably, no different from Z University.
“Excuse me…”
Tang Hao stopped a male student.
“What’s the matter?”
The boy pushed up his glasses and sized up Tang Hao.
“Um… I’m here to look for someone, but I can’t contact her right now. I wanted to ask you…”
“Oh! Looking for someone? So you’re not from Q University!”
The boy regarded Tang Hao slightly differently.
“Yeah! I’m at the Capital to meet an acquaintance!” Tang Hao said with a laugh.
“Oh! I understand. Who are you looking for?”
“Her name is Mu Xintong!” Tang Hao said.
“Oh,” the person replied. However, in the next moment, his entire body froze. His eyes widened as he shouted, “What did you say? Say that name again!”
He thought that he had misheard.
“I said, Mu Xintong!” Tang Hao was startled. He repeated the name.
The boy instantly became impatient. He shooed Tang Hao away while saying, “Go away. Leave this place at once! We’ve seen too many people like you. All of you are like flies!”
“Look at your pathetic appearance, and you think you can flirt with our Beauty Queen? Dream on!
“And you say that you’re her acquaintance? F*ck you, everyone here knows that Goddess Mu is cold to everyone, especially boys. You’re not going to fool me!”
Tang Hao was stunned again.
Seeing that Tang Hao was still standing there, he became even more impatient and yelled, “Hurry up and scram!”
Tang Hao’s expression darkened.
He had asked for directions politely, but that guy was so rude.
“I’m really here to look for her. She asked me to come,” Tang Hao said.
The boy was stunned, then he burst into laughter. His laughter became louder and louder, as though he had heard the funniest joke ever.
‘This guy is a clown! Goddess Mu asked him to come? What a braggart!
‘Would Goddess Mu ask anyone to come and look for her?
‘What a joke!’
“I say, you shouldn’t lie like that. I’ve never seen a bigger braggart than you!” The boy looked at Tang Hao disdainfully.
‘He’s most likely a lunatic!’ He thought.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and started to get angry.
“So, do you think I’m bragging?” He smiled gently.
“You don’t say?”
“Alright, let’s make a bet!” Tang Hao’s grin became wider.
“Sure. What are the stakes?”
“This!”
Tang Hao took out a thick stack of money from his backpack. It was exactly one hundred thousand yuan.
The boy’s eyes widened when he saw the money.
‘He’s a windfall tycoon?’ That thought flashed through his mind.
However, his shock turned into a sneer. “So what if he’s rich? Goddess Mu is like a glacier. Nothing in this world can melt her ice-cold heart, let alone something as vulgar as money.’
Many sons of wealthy families were enrolled in Q University, and none of them had ever succeeded in winning Goddess Mu’s heart.
In the eyes of Goddess Mu, money was as trivial as air!
To her, even men were as trivial as air. She treated everyone coldly, which was why she was also known as the Ice Goddess.
He was a lot more confident when he thought of that. “What are we betting on?”
“That’s simple. How much money do you have? Take it all out. I’ll pay you one to five if you win. How about that?” Tang Hao said.
“Take me to her now. If it’s true that she didn’t ask me to meet her, I’ll pay you five times of whatever you have. Otherwise, all your money is mine,” Tang Hao added.
The boy became excited when he heard that.
‘One to five?
‘Wow! What a windfall!’
“Sure! I’ll take on your bet!”
He was so excited that his whole body was trembling and his face turned red. Then, he emptied his pockets and gathered a few hundred yuan. He even took out the coins.
Then, he reached into his wallet and took out a debit card. “There’s a few thousand yuan in here. Is that OK?”
“Sure!”
Tang Hao grinned and took the card.
“Here, let’s sign a contract. Then, no one can go back on their word.” Tang Hao walked to the side, took out a piece of paper, and started writing.
“Hurry Up!”
The boy urged him, looking extremely excited.
He calculated that he had a little more than four thousand yuan on him. If he could win five times of that, it would be more than twenty thousand yuan. That was a huge profit.
‘This guy is an idiot! He’s blinded by money!’ He looked at Tang Hao and thought happily.
Chapter 743 - : The Goddess Smiled
“Sigh, poor guy!”
Tang Hao mumbled as he wrote the contract.
The four-thousand-something yuan was that guy’s entire living expenses! Without it, he could only eat plain rice and steamed buns every day.
“He agreed to this willingly. Don’t blame me!” Tang Hao muttered again and felt more at ease.
“It’s done. Come, put your thumbprint on it!” Tang Hao took out an ink pad.
The boy was stunned when he saw the ink pad and felt that something was amiss. Who would carry an ink pad with them? He took the contract, read it, and was relieved when he did not see any problems with it.
‘Maybe it was only a coincidence,’ he thought before putting his thumbprint on it.
He took out his phone and started typing in the group chat excitedly.
“There’s a fool here who said that Goddess Mu invited him and even made a bet with me! He’s paying me one to five, and we even signed the contract! Congratulate me. I’m going to be rich!”
He took a selfie with that stack of money and uploaded it.
“Damn! Is that true?”
“There’s such a good thing?”
Many people replied to the chat group expressing their shock and doubt.
“Tch! Why would I lie to you? I’m at the front gate. If you don’t believe me, come and see for yourself!” He said.
Someone came over in a few minutes.
They were shocked after being explained the situation. Then, they complained that they missed out on a windfall!
Tang Hao glanced at them and said, “You guys can join in too!”
Those people were stunned. “Really?” They said in disbelief.
“Of course! Are you worried that I can’t pay up? Don’t worry, I have plenty of money!” Tang Hao said boastfully.
The people were immediately excited.
‘So he’s a rich idiot!’
“I want to join!”
“Me too! I’m betting all the money I have.”
They emptied their pockets of their cash and debit cards. Some people even went to borrow money.
“Wait, let’s go somewhere else. We’re causing a scene here. It’ll be bad if the teachers find out!” Suddenly, someone said.
“That’s right! Let’s move elsewhere!”
The others agreed.
What they were doing was considered gambling. The teachers would definitely call it off if they found out.
Immediately, the group of people brought Tang Hao to a vacant classroom.
More and more people came over. Of course, Tang Hao did not reject any of their bids.
“Haven’t you heard? An idiot came to our school, and he’s very rich too. He’s betting us one to five! That’s easy money!”
Soon, the news spread across the campus.
“What a deal! Hurry up and let’s go!”
Many students came with all their money. Some brought hundreds and thousands of yuan, while some only brought a few tens.
Many did not even know what they were betting on before they came.
After asking, they laughed and eagerly placed their bets.
Tang Hao grinned. He was quite excited too.
“Alright, that’s it!!”
Tang Hao saw that not many more people were joining in, so he finalized the bets.
The stragglers booed disappointedly.
“Let’s go! We’ll look for Goddess Mu and find out the truth.”
“Does anyone know where Goddess Mu is now?”
The people called their friends to look for her.
Soon, they got a reply.
“She’s in a gazebo in the north. Someone just saw her.”
“Go go go! Let’s head there now!”
Immediately, the group of people rushed over impatiently. It was a magnificent sight.
Every one of them seemed incredibly excited.
Those who had placed a bet were eager to receive their winnings soon, while those who did not were preparing to watch the comedy unfold.
They had personally experienced Goddess Mu’s coldness. That guy, on the other hand, had appeared out of nowhere and claimed that he was Goddess Mu’s acquaintance and even said that she had invited him to visit her. That was utter nonsense!
Goddess Mu would never have done such a thing!
It was absolutely impossible!
That guy must be fantasizing. Soon, they would be able to see his defeated look.
They arrived near the gazebo on the north side of the campus.
In the gazebo, a person was sitting facing away from them.
A gust of wind blew past, and her silky black hair fluttered.
She blended into the scenery. It was like a painting.
“Wow! As expected of Goddess Mu! Even her back is so beautiful!”
The students’ eyes lit up, and they looked infatuated.
“Go! Hurry up!”
They began to nudge Tang Hao, eager to see the expected outcome.
Tang Hao coughed lightly and walked up.
Mu Xintong had heard the commotion behind her. She turned around, and her beautiful but cold face was brought into view.
Her eyes opened wide when she saw Tang Hao.
Tang Hao scratched his head and said, “You asked me to come and visit you, right? I’m here now!”
The other students wanted to laugh when they heard that, but they did not dare to laugh in front of Goddess Mu. Their faces turned red from holding back their laughter.
‘Haha! That idiot actually said that in front of Goddess Mu!
‘Goddess
Mu won’t be bothered with him! She’ll definitely give him the cold shoulder!’
The people held back their laughter and whispered among themselves.
However, at that moment, Mu Xintong stood up.
The people were stunned, and the smile on their faces froze. Their eyes and mouths widened into O shapes.
They looked as though they had witnessed the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Goddess Mu had actually stood up and was walking toward him.
Her usually glacial face seemed to have melted. She was smiling faintly.
That was an incredible sight to behold. It was world-shaking, even, like a meteor crashing down on Earth!
“Oh my god! Goddess Mu is smiling! She’s really smiling! I’m not dreaming, am I?”
Everyone was in a daze, thinking that they were dreaming.
Some people even slapped themselves.
“Ouch!”
‘That hurt! It’s not a dream
‘Goddess Mu is really smiling!
‘Who is that guy?’
They were extremely shocked and confused.
Those who had placed their bets stood rooted to the ground, their faces pale.
They could not accept the fact that Goddess Mu was smiling at that guy!
Was the guy actually telling the truth?
Did that mean that they had lost all their money?
That was their living expenses for the next few months! How were they going to survive? They felt dizzy when they thought about how they would have to tighten their belts in the future and live a miserable life of eating plain rice and steamed buns.
That was too terrifying!
They remembered how that guy was smiling earlier when he took their bets.
‘He’s not an idiot; we’re the idiots! That guy had set us up, and we were so eagerly falling into his trap!’
“My money!” Someone cried out in grief.
Chapter 744 - Terror In Q University
“You’re here!” Mu Xintong said softly.
She stood gracefully in front of Tang Hao, dressed in a pure white one-piece dress. When the wind blew, the hem of her dress fluttered. She was as beautiful as a painting.
“Mm,” Tang Hao replied.
