NOVEL NEXT Chapter 329: That Person!
Xin Peixian's mother, upon hearing Xu Hao's words, finally showed a relieved smile on her face.
Being a vice president of a company was definitely much better than being a gatekeeper, not only dignified but also surely well-paid, and with Young Master Xu being such a good boss, she felt that her child had really lucked out!
Xin Peixian quickly said, "Thank you for trusting me, Young Master Xu. Please rest assured, I will definitely work twice as hard, and I will not let you down."
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will personally cure your illness."
"Young Master Xu, are you also a doctor?" Xin Peixian's mother asked in surprise. Xu Hao had mentioned it before, but she thought he was just going to arrange for a doctor to treat her.
But what Xu Hao was saying now made her understand that he was going to treat her himself!
She couldn't quite believe it. Xu Hao's martial prowess was extremely strong; if his medical skills were also formidable, then that was just too impressive!
Xin Peixian smiled and said, "Mom, just relax. Young Master Xu's medical skills are indeed very impressive."
Xu Hao said, "Xin Peixian, take your mother and find a hotel nearby to stay in. Tomorrow, I will go prescribe medicine for your mother."
"Alright, alright, thank you Young Master Xu for your help!" Xin Peixian expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Xu Hao nodded slightly and left with Louise.
Watching the Ferrari disappear into the distance, Xin Peixian's mother sighed, "Son, this Young Master Xu is really a good person. He's been so good to us; you must never let down his kindness in the future!"
"Mom, don't worry. Don't you know my character? How could I be so ungrateful?" Xin Peixian quickly responded.
Xin Peixian's mother nodded. They had been impoverished for so many years, and tonight they had finally turned their fortunes around.
...
After sending Xiao Lan back to the orphanage's new address, Xu Hao went to the hotel in Huadu with Louise.
The hotel's security staff, seeing Xu Hao with such a beautiful foreign lady, immediately envied him, but recalling that Xu Hao was staying in the luxurious presidential suite, they understood. For such a wealthy young man to bring a top-grade beauty to stay in a hotel seemed quite normal.
Once in the room, Xu Hao said with a smile, "Louise, make yourself comfortable; it's time to talk business."
Louise, seeing Xu Hao's gaze so clear and devoid of any lust, felt a slight sense of loss.
Regaining her composure, Louise said smilingly, "Dear Xu, you are very special."
Xu Hao quirked an eyebrow. "In what way am I special?"
"I am quite confident in my appearance. There isn't a single young man who has seen me who hasn't shown interest, but with you, I can't see such thoughts at all." Louise looked earnestly at Xu Hao, attempting to discern his true thoughts.
Xu Hao smiled and said, "We in Huaya have a saying, 'When satiated and warm, one thinks of lust.' I am not afraid to tell you that I indeed have resolved my sustenance needs, but there are many hidden enemies still lurking in the shadows. I remind myself constantly not to be complacent, otherwise, I might meet an untimely death anytime; hence, I am absolutely not lost in carnal desires."
"I understand; this is the 'Be prepared for danger in times of safety' mindset often spoken of by Huaya people, but I don't understand, someone as strong as you, who could you possibly fear?" Louise asked curiously.
"It's not fear, but caution. As a martial artist, I don't fear anyone. If I were to become cowardly, afraid, then perhaps my abilities would no longer advance," Xu Hao said with a light laugh, realizing Louise was probing for information about him. He changed the subject, "Regarding the Mutants, what do you know? Tell me."
Louise, seeing through by Xu Hao, coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed, and said, "Dear Xu, actually, I don't know much. Our family is in the retail business; we had never dealt with these matters before. But then I met him."
When Louise mentioned "him," a hint of fear clearly appeared in her eyes. After steadying her spirits, she continued, "Regarding that person, I only know a little; all I know is that he is a very mysterious leader of a Control organization, and he wanted to marry me, but I have never even seen his face..."
"Wait, if you've never seen his face, how do you know he's so terrifying?" Xu Hao interrupted Louise's words, asking.
Louise hurriedly said, "It's because of the actions of his organization, which are extremely cruel. Being the leader, he is undoubtedly very cruel too, but I'm afraid to speak out about these things; I'm afraid of retaliation."
Xu Hao nodded slightly, clearly seeing that Louise was very afraid of the other party and that he shouldn't force her to reveal unwilling information.
Seeing that Xu Hao did not press further, Louise sighed in relief internally. She shared this information to show Xu Hao that what she would say next was not unfounded; she wanted to earn Xu Hao's trust, and that required sincerity.
