Chapter 44 Rumors

  "Damn! It's running so fast." Looking at the Jeep that was speeding away, Zhou Hao cursed.

  The two bodyguards who were protecting the top master in the casino earlier did not have time to escape, and both of them were injured by Zhou Hao. They couldn't outrun Zhou Hao either, so they gritted their teeth and stared at Zhou Hao and Sutu Jianying.

  "What are you looking at? Are you still thinking of revenge?" Zhou Hao walked over and kicked them both unconscious, then squatted down to search their bodies.

  "Zhou Hao, what are you looking for?" Si Tu Jian Ying asked doubtfully.

  "Found it." Zhou Hao searched each of the two men and found a handgun on each, "These two guys are also carrying guns. Hmm, that ringleader is definitely not a law-abiding citizen. Jianying, go call your dad and tell him we've been attacked by gunmen."

  At that time, mobile phones were bulky and expensive, so even though the Xī family had a good environment, Xī Lì gave her one. Fortunately, there was a phone booth nearby, and Xī Jiàn Yīng walked over to make a call home. Xī Lì suddenly heard that his daughter was attacked by a gunman, and he immediately jumped up in fright, even dispatching a small team of armed police to rush over.

  After rushing over, Situ Li saw that the two gunmen were already lying on the ground unconscious. He also saw Zhou Hao standing next to Situ Jianying. He felt a bit stunned and said to Situ Jianying: "So you said you went out with friends, it was actually Little Hao." Through his wife's reminder and his own observation, Situ Li had already known that his daughter had a very good impression of Zhou Hao, but because he thought Zhou Hao was just an ordinary poor boy, he did not approve of his daughter associating with him. Even though he knew Zhou Hao had a good relationship with Zhao Yuqin, he still didn't think highly of Zhou Hao.

  "Hello, Uncle Situ." Zhou Hao greeted Situ Li in a timely manner and handed over the two pistols he had found to him.

  Situ Li took over the pistol and took a glance, then drew in a cold breath. "Who are those two gunmen? They're actually using 'Desert Eagles'?"

  "Desert Eagle?" Zhou Hao was also surprised, this famous pistol from Israel he had heard of, but did not expect that the two people used "Desert Eagle", he pointed to the ground on that side, "Uncle Sutu, there are two more over there." It turned out that Top Daddy's other two subordinates were shot down by Zhou Hao.

  Situ Li immediately had someone pick up the remaining two pistols and found that they were also "Desert Eagles".

  Situ Li's expression immediately turned solemn, and he asked Zhou Hao and Situ Jianying tensely: "What exactly happened? How did you two encounter these dangerous elements for no reason?"

  "Director Sito, those two people have fainted, and we found that one of them had a fractured shoulder blade and the other had a fractured rib." The armed police who came with Sito Li ran over to say to him.

  Situ Li frowned and looked at Zhou Hao, "Xiao Hao, was it you who did this?"

  Zhou Hao smiled wryly and said, "The situation was critical at the time, so I had no choice but to take drastic measures."

  Situ was shocked in his heart, at that time there were at least four armed men, Zhou Hao could knock down two and chase away two with bare hands, this skill is really impressive. Later, when Zhou Hao told him the cause and effect, he was surprised again, "What? You won over 10 million US dollars from that old man?"

  "Uh-huh, converted to RMB it's roughly around 10 million." Zhou Hao nodded.

  Seeing Zhou Hao win over a thousand yuan and still remain so calm, Situ Li couldn't help but admire him. And now, Zhou Hao has also become a millionaire. It seems that Situ Li thinks he has initially qualified to interact with his daughter.

  At this time, he stroked his chin thoughtfully and said: "If you say so, then the top father is not an ordinary person either." He told one of the police officers who came with him: "Take these two people back first, and interrogate them well. Also, find Wen Dong's father and son for me."

  Then he turned to Situ Jianying and said: "You too, it's almost 12 o'clock and you're not going home yet. Aren't you afraid that we'll worry? And you two young people are actually learning from others to gamble, this is unacceptable. Come on, Jianying, go back with me."

  After a pause, he looked at Zhou Hao again: "Little Hao, I'll send a few police officers to escort you home."

  Zhou Hao shook his head, "No need, Uncle Situ, I can go back by myself."

  Situ Li also didn't insist, since Zhou Hao could handle four gunmen with his bare hands, he didn't need to worry too much about his safety either. However, Situ Jianying still looked at Zhou Hao reluctantly after getting on the car, "Zhou Hao, see you later, I'll ask you out again next time."

  "Uh-huh, go back and rest early." Zhou Hao waved his hand at her.

  Situ Jianying's father, Situ Li, seeing his daughter in this state, couldn't help but secretly sigh. It seemed that it wasn't Zhou Hao who was pursuing his daughter, but rather his own daughter who was actively throwing herself at him. He rubbed his forehead, thinking that he would have to have a good talk with his daughter when he got back. He knew that his daughter's temperament was just like his own - once she set her sights on something, she would stop at nothing to get it, and would even sacrifice everything for it. He certainly didn't want his own daughter, the daughter of a police chief, to cause any trouble.

  Zhou Hao returned home and found Yan Tong still waiting for him, feeling a bit guilty. However, Yan Tong didn't scold him much, just telling him not to play so late in the future.

  Sleeping in bed, Zhou Hao was still thinking about what happened tonight. The money he won back from Ding Ye, Zhou Hao planned to invest it in the stock market, and the domestic stock market would continue to soar for another half month, this sum of money could at least double or triple, and let Zhao Yuqin handle the operation. Moreover, the biggest gain tonight was that his intuition could be used for gambling. However, Zhou Hao also thought that he should not visit Wen Shaoqiang's underground casino too often, otherwise, he would be remembered with hatred.

  He set his sights on the regular casinos in Macau and Las Vegas, thinking that if he had time to go to those places to make some extra money, it would be great, and maybe even gain a reputation as China's god of gambling.

  As he thought about it, Zhou Hao unknowingly fell asleep.

  The next day, Zhou Hao made a phone call to Zhao Yuqin and told her about his winning, asking her to invest the money in the stock market. Zhao Yuqin was also surprised to hear that he had won over 10 million and agreed to his request. Then, Zhou Hao called Wen Shaoqiang and asked him to hand over the money he had left with him to Zhao Yuqin. Wen Shaoqiang complained to him, saying that he and his son were summoned by Sutu Li last night to investigate the matter of the hat.

  After hanging up the phone, Zhou Hao went to school as usual, and Wang Xijun was waiting for him at the door as before.

  "I heard from Auntie that you went out with Jianying yesterday." Wang Xijun asked casually along the way.

  "Uh, we went to KTV. We originally called you and Zhongcai to go together, but you guys weren't home." Zhou Hao stroked her soft and delicate little hand, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"

  "No way." Wang Xijun flatly denied it, but her face was bright red.

  Zhou Hao was entangled in his heart, now there were many women involved with him, not to mention Wang Xijun and Li Ruoshan who had a relationship with him, but also Situ Jianying and Zhao Yuqin, and there was also a vague Gao Jingyi.

  Zhou Hao scratched his head in distress, thinking that it was not easy to coordinate their relationship. However, no matter how difficult it was, he would never give up on himself!

  With a tangled mood, Zhou Hao returned to school. As soon as he entered the classroom, his classmates warmly cheered and celebrated his safe return. As for Zhou Hao's change, since they had already seen it on Xiangcheng TV station's news, they were not so surprised either.

  "Brother, you're finally back! I was worried sick about you!" As soon as he sat down, Liu Shichao tightly hugged Zhou Hao beside him.

  "Hey, calm down, calm down." Zhou Hao hurriedly pushed away Liu Shichao, but this fat guy hugged too tightly and couldn't be pushed away.

  At this time, Gao Jingyi, who was sitting in the front, also turned around and smiled warmly at Zhou Hao, "Zhou Hao, welcome back." Her tone was very calm, but Zhou Hao clearly saw the suppressed joy and relief in her eyes.

  When Gao Jingyi was about to turn back, Liu Shichao leaned in close to Zhou Hao's ear and whispered: "Don't look at how cold our beauty is now, but when you were in danger earlier, the one who was most heartbroken besides me was her. Later, when the search and rescue team arrived, she still waited for five days at the foot of Autumn Peace Mountain, and it wasn't until her father and school leaders repeatedly persuaded her that she finally returned."

  Zhou Hao was also shocked by her words and didn't expect Gao Jingyi to be so nervous about him. Looking at the back of her head, which was just a few inches away from his face, Zhou Hao couldn't help but become infatuated.

  However, Zhou Hao quickly came back to his senses because he saw a figure that had been lingering in his heart for a long time - Li Ruolan.

  Today's first lesson was Li Ruolan's English class. According to Liu Shichao, during the half month he and Li Ruolan were missing, it was the English teacher from the neighboring class who took over the lessons.

  Li Ruolan was seen wearing a pure white dress today, her long black hair also tied back, looking very pure and quiet.

  Seeing her, Zhou Hao was delighted, but also found that she looked a bit haggard, and couldn't help but feel a slight pang of heartache.

  "Before class starts, I would like to thank all of you classmates first. Thank you for your concern about me and Zhou Hao." Li Ruolan said with a smile.

  Zhou Hao also quickly stood up, "That's right, thank you everyone for your concern."

  Everyone applauded, and Li Ruolan also looked at Zhou Hao at this time, but she just took a light glance before withdrawing her gaze. "Now let's start class."

  At this time, Liu Shichao whispered to Zhou Hao: "I heard others say that Li teacher's parents originally wanted Li teacher to leave Xiangcheng and go back to their hometown with them."

  Zhou Hao immediately tensed up, "Did, did Teacher Li agree?"

  Liu Shichao shook his head, but there was a hint of worry in his expression. "No, Teacher Li didn't promise her parents. She said that even if she wants to leave, she will finish this semester first." The implication was that Li Ruolan might be leaving after this semester.

  Zhou Hao's heart rose again, and he looked deeply at Li Ruolan who was lecturing seriously on the podium, wondering if she wanted to leave Xiangcheng because she wanted to avoid him.

  "I think Mr. Li's departure is actually related to that rumor in school." Liu Shichao said.

  Zhou Hao was taken aback, "What rumor?"

  Liu Shichao carefully looked at him and said, "Speaking of which, this rumor is also related to you. There are people in school who say that you and Teacher Li spent more than half a month alone in that cave, and it's likely that something unclear happened between you two."

  "Damn it, who said that!" Zhou Hao slammed his hand on the desk, his voice loud enough to make everyone in the class turn around.
