Chapter 127: Chapter 127

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaohao turned and entered the villa.

"Son-in-law, the meal is ready, Mr. Cheng and Mr. Sun have already dined, and the young lady has not come down yet," Sister Zhou kindly reminded Zhang Xiaohao upon seeing him.

"Mhm, I know," Zhang Xiaohao responded, pulled out a chair, and began to eat.

After the meal, Zhang Xiaohao walked into the kitchen, and under the astonished gaze of Sister Zhou, he picked up the ingredients from the refrigerator and started cooking skillfully...

Shortly after, a delicate and fragrant dish of red braised beef was ready.

Zhang Xiaohao ladled a bowl of rice and carried the dish upstairs.

He tried the doorknob, the room was locked.

His mind stirred, and Soul Power radiated from his brain, probing into the room.

There was no one in the outer room, and the Soul Power moved into the inner room.

The inner room was like a sealed cage, curtains drawn, pitch-black.

Cheng Tianxue was wrapped in a quilt, knees hugged to her chest, her head buried in her knees, shoulders shaking, crying softly.

To her right, there lay a pair of oversized scissors.

Seeing that she was unharmed, Zhang Xiaohao’s hanging heart was finally put to rest.

He withdrew the Soul Power, placed his right hand on the door, circulated his True Qi, and opened the door.

"Zhang Xiaohao, you bastard, get out! I hate seeing you. If you dare come in, I’ll kill myself right away!" Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Cheng Tianxue roared angrily.

Zhang Xiaohao silently placed the food at the door, stood outside the room, remained silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Xue’er, I will safely bring Qingsu back."

Having said this, he turned and walked away, closing the outer room’s door behind him.

Descending the stairs, Zhang Xiaohao entered Sun Dafu’s room.

"My lord!" Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao enter, Sun Dafu respectfully saluted with a fist-greeting.

"Mhm," Zhang Xiaohao said: "Old Sun, I will have to leave for a while for some business, Tianxue’s safety is in your hands!"

"My lord, please rest assured, as long as this old servant breathes, no one shall harm the lady!" Sun Dafu said earnestly.

"Mhm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xiaohao flipped his palm, and a glow shot from the Shennong Ring on his left hand, bringing a massive "bathtub" into existence in the room.

"Ah!" Sun Dafu exclaimed in shock, startled by the sudden action, "My lord, is this a space storage device? Does the legendary space storage equipment really exist?"

"Yes, you are correct!" Meeting Sun Dafu’s eager eyes, Zhang Xiaohao said, "However, I only have one piece. As long as you do your job well, I will find a way to get one for you in the future!"

"This old servant thanks my lord! Please be assured, my lord, even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a vat of oil, as long as this servant breathes, no harm will come to the lady, unless it’s over my dead body."

"Take this with you!" Saying that, Zhang Xiaohao tossed over a martial arts manual.

"The Three Thousand Thunder Elements Hand?" Sun Dafu was astonished, "My lord, this is?"

"This is a Xuan Rank Supreme Martial Skill, with power close to an Earth Rank lower martial skill when mastered to its peak. I hope you won’t disappoint me!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

Struggling to contain his excitement, Sun Dafu knelt on one knee on the ground, "Rest assured, my lord, even in death, this servant won’t disappoint you!"

"Mhm," Zhang Xiaohao acknowleged, then turned and left the villa.

Passing through the living room, he paused.

"Grandfather, I must go to M country for some business. If Tianxue asks about it, tell her not to worry, I will safely bring Qingsu back," Zhang Xiaohao said.

Mr. Cheng did not utter a sound, he pulled out a checkbook, briskly wrote a check for one hundred million, and handed it over.

"Always prioritize safety when you’re out and about. Better to let your money suffer than yourself! And if you’re short, give me a call, I may be an old bag of bones, but one thing I have is plenty of money!"

"Alright," Zhang Xiaohao nodded seriously, took the check, slipped it into his pocket, and turned to walk outside.

Once he was out of the villa, Zhang Xiaohao took out his phone and dialed Su Ruobai’s number.

After a few rings, the call connected.

"Mr. Su, I need to go out for a while," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"What? You’re going out? How long have you been on the job, and now you want to skip work? Are you scared and trying to run away..."

Before she could finish talking, Zhang Xiaohao interrupted her sharply, "I’m not asking for your permission, I’m informing you! While I’m away, everything in the PR department will be handled by Wu Qiaoqiao. If she completes the tasks I’ve arranged for her, contact Sun Dafu and take the item I left with him. Wu Qiaoqiao knows what to do!"

Having said that, Zhang Xiaohao forcefully hung up the call.

Hearing the beep from the phone, Su Ruobai was infuriated, barely holding back the urge to explode, about to redial.

But she discovered that there was no record of the recent call in the call history!

"Damn it! Zhang Xiaohao, you just wait, when you get back, I’ll make sure you regret it!"

After hanging up on Su Ruobai, Zhang Xiaohao retrieved another number and dialed it straight away.

"Mr. Xu, arrange a helicopter for me. In one hour, I need to head to Country M!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohao hung up the phone.

An hour later, a military green off-road vehicle pulled up in front of Zhang Xiaohao, and a burly soldier got out.

"Greetings, Commander! I’m here under orders from higher-ups to pick you up," the captain saluted respectfully.

"Mhm," responded Zhang Xiaohao indifferently and got into the vehicle which then sped away towards a secret base.

At the secret base, a seemingly ordinary helicopter was parked on the airstrip.

Standing upright by the side of the helicopter were two soldiers, one male and one female. The male was the pilot, donned in an ordinary black suit.

The woman was striking in pose and figure, stunningly beautiful, especially her long legs that looked captivating against the backdrop of her military skirt, and she wore the rank of a major on her shoulder.

"So you’re Zhang Xiaohao?" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao approach, the young female officer stepped forward arrogantly and said.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t spare her a glance, as if she were air.

His gaze fixed on the pilot and he ordered, "Take off!"

"Yes, Commander!" The helicopter pilot responded respectfully and climbed into the aircraft.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t delay and headed towards the helicopter.

"Hmph! Dare to play tough in front of me, Xu Xinyan—I’ll make you cry for your mommy and daddy!" Xu Xinyan spoke pridefully.

With a tap of her leather boot, she swung her leg in a sweeping motion, bringing a gust of wind with it, aimed directly at Zhang Xiaohao’s head—striking a vital point!

"Get lost! I don’t have time to play with you!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.

He sidestepped, grabbed her right foot that she had kicked towards him, and rudely threw her to the ground, then turned to board the aircraft.

"Stop right there! Mr. Xu has a mission for you!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao walking away, Xu Xinyan didn’t bother to suppress her anger, hastily speaking out.

Zhang Xiaohao paused, saying "Speak fast, don’t waste my time."

"Hmph! This is something Mr. Xu asked me to give you," Xu Xinyan huffed, and tossed a red document pouch over.
