Chapter 172: Chapter 172

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Zhang Xiaohao stopped slapping and said.

"Big Brother, I was wrong, please just let me go!" the driver begged for mercy.

"I’m asking you a question! Where did you go wrong?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"I shouldn’t have driven an unlicensed taxi, nor should I have overcharged passengers, let alone taken them on roundabout routes! And I definitely shouldn’t have tampered with the meter," the driver said.

Zhang Xiaohao slapped him from both sides, cursing angrily, "You’ve got some nerve! Were you trying to cheat people to their graves?"

With that, he struck again.

"Big brother, stop hitting me, please, I beg you. If you keep going, I’ll be ruined," the driver said through tears.

"Tell me, how much money have you made through illegal violence?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Damn! Not talking, huh? Looks like you won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Still up to no good!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered.

His hand swung back for another slap.

"Big Brother, stop hitting me, I’ll tell you everything, all of it," the driver begged for mercy.

"Come clean. If there’s a single lie, you can say goodbye to your face," Zhang Xiaohao warned.

"Recently, I met a guy with strong connections, Brother Dia, at a bar. After getting involved with him, I’ve made a neat sum of almost two hundred thousand over these days," the driver stammered.

"Damn it! Are you fleecing passengers or pigs! In such a short time, you’ve cleared almost two hundred thousand. Are you trying to run them into the ground?" Zhang Xiaohao said, furious.

He dealt another series of hearty slaps.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohao stopped.

"I’ll give you a chance to make amends. Turn yourself in at the police station, surrender your ill-gotten gains, and hand over evidence of your collusion with Brother Dia to the police!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Big, Big Brother, I agree to surrender all the illegal money, but let’s forget about drawing Brother Dia into this, okay? Brother Dia is powerful, with very strong backing! It’s said there’s nothing in Nanhua City he can’t handle," the driver said fearfully.

"It seems you won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Not giving up until you reach the Yellow River, huh?" Zhang Xiaohao’s face darkened as he spoke.

"Big Brother, really, I’m not lying to you! Brother Dia is really formidable. If I dare report him, I’ll have no good days ahead," the driver said.

"Brother Dia, huh? I won’t make it hard for you. Just bring Brother Dia here later, and we’ll consider this matter settled," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Don’t worry, Big Brother! I’ll definitely bring Brother Dia here later," the driver said.

A vicious smile flashed in his eyes as he thought, You just wait, you little rat. Once Brother Dia gets here, we’ll see who’ll sort out whom!

"What are you standing around for? Get lost!" Zhang Xiaohao barked.

"Yes, yes, Big Brother, I’m going!" The driver quickly got up from the ground and rushed toward the car.

"Wait!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Big Brother, is there something else?" the driver asked with a tearful face.

"Here, this is your fare. Pick it up," Zhang Xiaohao said, pointing to the one yuan coin on the ground.

"Big Brother, how can I take your money! Please, don’t torment me," he said.

"Hmph! Do I look like the kind of person who doesn’t pay for a ride? Pick it up when I tell you to, and cut the crap," Zhang Xiaohao snapped.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao get angry, the driver hastily picked up the one yuan coin from the ground, rushed into the car, and drove off.

When the car had gone about a hundred meters, the driver stuck half of his head out the window and roared, "You wait, you little bastard! We’re not done here! I swear, I’ll make you kneel down like a dog and beg for mercy."

After saying that, the driver sped off in the car.

"Brother-in-law, he was threatening you! Are you really just going to let him go like that?" Cheng Qingsu said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaohao slapped her butt without good grace and said, "Spare others when you can, am I the kind of unreasonable person?"

"Jerk! You touched my butt again, stand right there, I swear I won’t beat you to death!" Cheng Qingsu roared with rage.

She chased after him with teeth and claws bared.

Zhang Xiaohao chuckled and ran towards the inside of the villa complex.

The security guard at the gate recognized Zhang Xiaohao and greeted him as he arrived.

He saluted respectfully, "Brother Zhang, hello!"

"Mm," Zhang Xiaohao smiled and nodded, slipping into the villa complex.

"Seen the Second Miss," The security guard saluted again as he saw Cheng Qingsu charging in.

"Jerk! Stand right there! I swear I won’t beat you to death." Cheng Qingsu roared once more, resuming her chase.

Watching the pair’s retreating figures.

Security Guard A joked with a laugh, "Brother Zhang’s girl-chasing technique is just strong! First, he charmed the Cheng family’s eldest miss, and now he’s charmed the second miss. Is he aiming for a sister double kill?"

Security Guard B said, "Look at you all sour, are you jealous?"

"Yes! I’m jealous, is that wrong? One of these days, when I see Brother Zhang, I plan to treat him to a meal and request a ’Da Bao Sword’ session to learn some of his techniques for seducing and charming girls. After that, whoever wants to keep this damn security job can have it, I’m done with it."

"Really? Let’s see you repeat what you just said."

"Ah! Captain, when did you get here? Did someone just speak? Hmm, no! You must have heard wrong."

"Now, immediately, at once! I order you to run ten laps around the villa, and if you’re one lap short, you’d better be ready to pack up and leave!"

Zhang Xiaohao was unaware of the events that happened after he left and even if he had known, he would have just touched his nose and smiled wryly, acknowledging that it’s tough having too much charm!

He walked into the Cheng family villa.

Zhang Xiaohao furrowed his brows, feeling something strange, as if something was not quite right.

As for why, it was a man’s sixth sense.

He pushed open the front door.

Zhang Xiaohao strode in and announced, "I’m back!"

The villa was eerily quiet.

After some time, a feeble voice came, "Is it the son-in-law who has returned?"

Sister Zhou poked her head out, cautiously looking toward the entrance.

Seeing that it was indeed Zhang Xiaohao who had returned.

Sister Zhou excitedly shouted, "Master, Master Sun, the son-in-law is back."

As she spoke, Sister Zhou rushed over quickly.

Zhang Xiaohao’s brows knotted, speculating silently, could it be that something actually happened at home while I was away?

With the thought, a robust and solid murderous aura burst forth from within him.

His mind brimming with killing intent, he thought, no matter who it is!

If someone dares harm my family, even if it’s the Heavenly King, I’ll make sure you pay dearly!

"Brother-in-law!" Cheng Qingsu came in from behind, patted Zhang Xiaohao’s shoulder, and called out softly.

"Mm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded, instantly reining in his formidable murderous aura.

"Sister Zhou, what’s going on?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Ah! Second Miss, you’re back too!" Sister Zhou’s eyes lit up with joy.

"Hehe, yes! I was missing the food you make, Sister Zhou, so I came back," Cheng Qingsu laughed.
