After Ye Fei left with the two hostages, Chen Hao grabbed the collar of the Bamboo Union gang leader and asked coldly, "Tell me, what do you want that plot of land for?"

Shivering, the Bamboo Union gang leader replied with a trembling voice, "I wanted to invest in some real estate business on my own."

From the Bamboo Union gang leader's not-so-steady gaze, Chen Hao could clearly tell he was lying. Without any mercy, he punched the gang leader hard in the face and shouted angrily, "I told you not to lie!"

"Ow, it hurts!" the Bamboo Union gang leader exclaimed, seeing stars. He had not expected Chen Hao's punch to be so ferocious. Despite being someone who had been stabbed dozens of times without batting an eye, even this tough gang leader couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a thunderous gunshot shattered the silence within hundreds of meters, and a bullet, as fast as lightning, shot from a gun's barrel, flying straight toward Chen Hao's head.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Hao raised his hand.

"Ah!" the crowd exclaimed in shock, and the Bamboo Union gang leader was left dumbfounded. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a person could catch a bullet between two fingers in such a short reaction time.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao glanced in the direction from where the bullet had come and saw a man wearing sunglasses sitting in the passenger seat of the van that had brought the hostages, holding a still-smoking pistol. After a cold smirk, Chen Hao channeled his Inner Strength into the two fingers holding the bullet and flicked it with a sharp motion, sending the bullet back the way it came.

"Whoosh. Bang!" The bullet returned at nearly the same speed and ended up embedded in the man's right shoulder.

"Ahh!" The man let out a blood-curdling scream of agony.

After smiling smugly, Chen Hao's gaze went back to the Bamboo Union gang leader, whose face had turned pale as if he had been skinned, his eyes wide with fear and disbelief.

The faces of the Bamboo Union gang members and underlings around them showcased almost the exact same expression as their boss.

Chen Hao raised an eyebrow at the Bamboo Union gang leader, his tone threatening as he asked, "Are you going to tell the truth or not? Believe it or not, I can throw you onto that car just like I did with the bullet."

After blinking, the Bamboo Union gang leader hurriedly said, "I'll talk! I'll talk! It was Yun Zhongtian, the chairman of Yun Style Enterprises, who told me to do it. He said he would give me twenty million if I succeeded."

"Twenty million! That's a lot of money!" Chen Hao was shocked.

At that moment, a voice came through the earpiece he was wearing, "Yun Style Enterprises is the family business that has been recently aggressively acquiring land in the northern district. The Bamboo Union gang leader probably isn't lying!"

The person communicating through the earpiece was Ye Fei's partner, the behind-the-scenes assistant of Campus Hero.

After a grunt, Chen Hao quickly left the underground casino and then leaped up to the rooftop of the building opposite the casino. Xie Xiaofeng was still waiting for him there.

"Dammit, where is Ye Fei?" Xie Xiaofeng asked.

"He's fine. He took the hostages and left first. We should go, too!" Chen Hao said. Having said that, he took Xie Xiaofeng and leaped into the dark clouds over City H.

Half an hour later, Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng returned to the villa of Ye Fei's master, Liu Xiajun.

Not long after the two of them entered the door, Ye Fei also came back.

Since Ye Yuqiao and Tang Jing had already gone back to their rooms to sleep, Ye Fei spoke in a very low voice, "I've safely sent the hostages back home! It's late, everyone should go back to their rooms to rest. We'll talk about everything else tomorrow."

"Hmm!"

Shortly after, the three of them went back to their respective rooms.

Quietly pushing open the door and seeing that Ye Yuqiao seemed to be fast asleep, Chen Hao sighed a breath of relief, secretly delighted that he would not have to kneel on the keyboard tonight.

However, after he quietly locked the door, Ye Yuqiao suddenly sat up in bed and said in a somewhat cold tone, "You're back."

"Hmm!" Chen Hao nodded, feeling a bit uneasy.

Ye Yuqiao got out of bed, bent down, and to his surprise, pulled a computer keyboard from under the bed. Then, holding the keyboard, she walked boldly towards Chen Hao and said, "This is the keyboard I just took from the study's computer. You know what you need to do next, right?"

After saying this, Ye Yuqiao had already reached Chen Hao and threw the keyboard in front of him.

Chen Hao's face darkened. First, he looked at the keyboard on the ground, then back to Ye Yuqiao, and said in a deep voice, "Do I really have to kneel on the keyboard? I didn't do it."

"It's up to you!" Ye Yuqiao coldly interrupted Chen Hao. "I've said before, it's your choice whether you kneel or not!"

"Fine, I'll kneel then!" Chen Hao said sullenly, then slowly bent his knees.

Ye Yuqiao let out a laugh, quickly hugged Chen Hao, and whispered, "Silly, did you really think I'd make you kneel? I just wanted to know if you were willing to do this for me. Not bad, you indeed have potential. I, as your queen, am very satisfied with you!"

"Ah, I don't have to kneel?" Chen Hao said, surprised. "To be honest, I really wanted to know what it feels like to kneel on a keyboard."

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao gently bumped her head against Chen Hao's chest, "A man's knees are precious, you can't just kneel for nothing. That's right."

Ye Yuqiao's tone suddenly became somber.

"What's up?" Chen Hao tilted his head and asked, looking at Ye Yuqiao's slightly lowered face.

Ye Yuqiao covered Chen Hao's face with her hands and asked, "Do you think I'm too domineering? Sometimes, am I really unreasonable?"

Chen Hao laughed heartily and said, "Actually, I know you're just jealous; and the reason you get jealous is that you care about me too much. To be cared for by such a pretty girl, I couldn't ask for more. And yes, you can be a bit unreasonable when you're jealous, but you're also quite cute, showing a side of you that's different from usual. But no matter what, I like every aspect of you."

Hearing Chen Hao say this, Ye Yuqiao smiled shyly and then snuggled into Chen Hao's embrace, her voice light as a cloud, "Boyfriend, you've sweet-talked me again!"

······

The next morning dawned.

The air was slightly cool, and Ye Fei got up early to prepare a lavish breakfast before rushing off to school. His mood was troubled because he had resolved to confess his feelings to the girl he liked later.

By nine o'clock, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing gradually woke up. After breakfast, seeing that Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao had not gotten up and being idle, they decided to go shopping together to take in the bustling cityscape of City H, a coastal city.

An hour and a half later, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao finally came out of their room. After reading the note left by Ye Fei and Xie Xiaofeng, Chen Hao, who was biting into a piece of bread, asked Ye Yuqiao, "Yuqiao, do you want to go out for a stroll later?"

"Whatever you want, I'll go wherever you go," Ye Yuqiao replied, passing the milk in her hand to Chen Hao's lips.

After taking a few sips of milk, a spark of light suddenly flashed in Chen Hao's eyes. He said, "Why don't we visit Ye Fei's school? It's been a while since we immersed ourselves in a campus atmosphere."

"Sure!"

After breakfast, they left Liu Xiajun's villa and took a taxi to the high school Ye Fei attended—Guanwen High School.

Since today was the sports day at Guanwen High School, many parents also came to watch, and the campus was filled with parked cars. Holding hands and walking half a loop around Guanwen High School, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao arrived at the stadium where the opening ceremony was being held.

Soon after they had settled down in a corner of the stands, Ye Yuqiao's beauty caught the attention and praise of those around her, particularly the male students. Before long, due to the increasing amount of attention, they were compelled to leave the stadium.

"Yuqiao, do you think Ye Fei has confessed to the girl he likes yet?" Chen Hao asked.

Ye Yuqiao stopped walking, closed her eyes, and quickly located Ye Fei's scent, then said, "Ye Fei isn't at the stadium right now, he's over there."

With that, Ye Yuqiao pointed toward the northeast corner of Guanwen High School.

"Oh?" Chen Hao's eyes were full of surprise, "Let's hurry over and have a look, maybe he's in the middle of confessing."

"Naughty!" Ye Yuqiao scolded with disdain. Reluctantly, she allowed Chen Hao to drag her toward the location where Ye Fei was.

Five minutes later, they reached an old, dilapidated basketball court overgrown with weeds. Compared to the sports field, this place was so quiet one could nearly hear the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings.

"Isn't that Ye Fei!" Ye Yuqiao controlled her volume as she grabbed Chen Hao to stop him from going further. She was afraid of disturbing Ye Fei, who was currently kissing a girl under a cherry tree with pale pink petals dancing in the air.

"Haha!" Chen Hao felt happy for Ye Fei in his heart, "It seems he has successfully confessed!"

While saying this, Chen Hao took a closer look at the girl wrapped in Ye Fei's arms. From the side, the girl appeared pure and graceful, a perfect example of a delicate beauty. Absorbed in his thoughts, Chen Hao inadvertently activated his Nether Vision in his left eye.

"Slap!" A loud smack! Ye Yuqiao's left hand hit Chen Hao's face hard.

Chen Hao snapped back to reality and saw Ye Yuqiao's extremely angry expression. He hastened to explain anxiously, "Your Majesty, I was just..."

"I don't like you anymore! Jerk!" Ye Yuqiao bellowed, her face turning steely with rage.

With that, Ye Yuqiao turned and stormed off, with Chen Hao following closely behind, continuously trying to explain and apologize.

Under the cherry tree, Ye Fei suddenly opened his eyes and pulled away from the girl's lips. Both their faces were flushed with shyness.

"You jerk, you can't be hot and cold with me like you used to be," the girl said, looking down.

Ye Fei hummed in agreement and then embraced the girl before him, a hint of confusion in his eyes, thinking, "Did I just hear Chen Hao's voice?"

Suddenly, the girl pushed Ye Fei away, both anxious and angered, "You jerk, you've already kissed me; why haven't you asked me to be your girlfriend yet? It's infuriating! Idiot!"
