The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Xu Hao walked out of the studio and didn't go far.

Sun Hongmei was indeed really sick, but that didn't mean she was no longer dangerous. In fact, it indicated that, to achieve her goals, she would resort to any means necessary, even if it meant substantial self-sacrifice to damage her enemies.

When Xu Hao overheard Sun Hongmei's phone conversation with someone, he instantly realized that the person was definitely an Islander, as Elder Chen had described!

He despised Sun Hongmei even more for not only being a traitor but also being thoroughly despicable and debased. Couldn't she just be a decent person? Did she have to stoop so low as to be someone else's lackey?

The content of their conversation seemed to suggest that the purpose of getting Xu Hao out of the way was to kill him.

However, Xu Hao was aware that unless they were foolish, they wouldn't choose him as the primary target for assassination, especially since his feat of killing a Peak Grand Perfection in Huadu was easily discoverable after a bit of investigation.

So, it was possible that this was a smokescreen, ostensibly to eliminate him to prevent future trouble, but the actual target was still Chen Suyi.

"Heh, a 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' strategy? These are leftovers from us Huaya People's playbook, and yet an Islander thinks he can trap me with it?"

In his mind, Xu Hao scoffed, "Since you want to play, I'll play along."

Xu Hao called Wang Zhong and told them to cooperate with his actions.

At noon, Xu Hao drove to buy food.

He had just reached an alley entrance when suddenly ten men in black appeared.

Xu Hao scoffed, "You really think highly of me, sending ten Chunin. Looks like I have to fight against ten now!"

The man leading the black-clad figures said, "Bakka! Kill him!"

"Shoosh!"

The other nine immediately rushed to Xu Hao's car, brandishing gleaming curved blades and eyeing Xu Hao menacingly.

Xu Hao slowly opened all the car windows and said with a faint smile, "I have sparred with some masters from Tang Sect these days and learned quite a bit. Let me test my skills on you."

Although Xu Hao said this, he had actually spent the past few days thoroughly going through all the materials related to assassination, hidden weapons, and poisons in the inheritance, and he had rehearsed many times in his mind.

"Bakka! To underestimate our great Island Country Ninja! Kill him!"

The lead black-clad figure roared and directed the men to charge at him.

"Hmph! Courting death!"

Xu Hao's movements were lightning fast, his steel needles constantly shooting out and instantly piercing the throats of nine ninjas.

They still maintained their charging posture but collapsed limply to the ground.

The lead black-clad man was terrified; he hadn't imagined Xu Hao could be so strong, outrageously so!

Xu Hao's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately prepared to rush out of the car.

But the black-clad man revealed a mysterious smile, abruptly bit down on something, and fell backward.

Xu Hao annoyedly slapped the steering wheel; it was his first encounter with these Island Country ninjas, and he hadn't expected them to be so decisive, leaving him no time to capture any alive.

After finishing his shopping and returning to the studio, Xu Hao saw Chen Suyi eagerly waiting.

Seeing Xu Hao carrying bags of food, she immediately hopped over excitedly and exclaimed, "Yay! Xu Da Liu|Hooligan, you're finally back! I was about to starve to death!"

Xu Hao handed her the food and snacks, puzzled, "No one tried to assassinate you?"

Chen Suyi had just bitten into a fried chicken leg when she heard Xu Hao's words and instantly said indignantly, "Hey! Xu Da Liu|Hooligan! I only asked you to buy me lunch, are you really that angry that you wish me dead?"

"Thump!"

Xu Hao gave her a hefty head knock, "What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Just eat your meal properly, or watch out—I might throw away all the food and lock you in a room to starve!"

Hearing Xu Hao say this, Chen Suyi immediately didn't dare to make a sound. She discovered that Xu Hao was a man of his words—the type who would definitely spank if he said he would.

She certainly didn't want to be locked up by Xu Hao, the big villain, with nowhere to appeal for help.

Just then, Wang Zhong suddenly called. Xu Hao found a secluded spot to answer, "Young Master, someone just tried to assassinate Miss Chen. Our men have already killed that person. Oh, that person had Chunin-level strength."

Xu Hao nodded, "Hmm, I can handle this matter myself. All you need to do is intervene whenever any of them is in mortal danger."

"Sure! Young Master, please rest assured, our men will definitely ensure their safety!" Wang Zhong immediately pledged emphatically.

Xu Hao hung up the phone, thinking that this couldn't go on. To catch a big fish, he must be willing to make a significant investment.

But to assassinate Chen Suyi, the enemy clearly wouldn't send their most powerful subordinates, so catching a big fish must start with Elder Chen.

...

Wang Zhong reported Xu Hao's recent activities faithfully to Xu Hao's father.

His father pondered for a moment before saying, "I originally planned on wiping out both the Tang Sect and that family from the Island Country. Since he wants to solve it himself, let him find a way, but with how things are escalating recently, I can't always protect him."
