Chapter 55: Chapter 55

"What do you think you’re doing? I warn you, don’t mess around, or you’ll regret it." Seeing the straw man controlled by Zhang Xiaohao coldly walking towards them, the middle-aged couple trembled in fear and spoke.

"So you’re allowed to mess around, but I’m not? What a joke! Open your dog eyes wide and see how I mess around." Zhang Xiaohao sneered disdainfully.

With a tap of his foot, he had already rushed in front of them.

His right foot kicked lightning-fast at their knees, and with a thud!

The middle-aged couple knelt down on the ground, with a cold smile on Zhang Xiaohao’s face, as his right palm struck them fiercely.

In an instant, the crisp sound of slaps echoed in the spacious courtyard.

In no time, their faces were swollen like pigs’ heads.

"Killing you would dirty my hands, just get lost!" He snorted coldly, and kicked them in their heads with his right foot, sending them flying out.

He brought his hands together and muttered something under his breath.

In a moment, a dazzling golden light shot out from the body of the straw man, which then burst with a thud! The straw man exploded and vanished into thin air.

Elsewhere, in the villa purchased by Guan Qingxue.

Zhang Xiaohao calmly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, glanced indifferently at the sleeping Guan Tianle, and, without turning his head, yelled towards the outside, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Guan Qingxue’s cold figure walked in.

As for Divine Doctor Mo, his Mo’s Clinic had a critically ill patient come in temporarily, so he had already left.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, how is my brother?" As soon as Guan Qingxue came in, she looked eagerly at Zhang Xiaohao and asked.

"Rest for a while, and his body will completely recover! As for the mastermind behind this, I’ve taken care of it for you." Zhang Xiaohao said proudly, touching his nose.

"Thank you!" Guan Qingxue said sincerely.

"There’s something I need to tell you. When dealing with the mastermind, I encountered a middle-aged couple. The man looks a bit like you; who is he to you?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.

"What? You saw my second uncle?" Guan Qingxue exclaimed in surprise, her face growing even colder, as a surge of evil Qi flowed out from her body.

"I also took the liberty of teaching him a lesson!" Zhang Xiaohao declared proudly.

"Thank you!" Guan Qingxue said earnestly.

"What good is a mere ’thank you’? Give me something tangible." Zhang Xiaohao said with a wicked smile.

His burning eyes fixed on Guan Qingxue’s chest, that look, that gaze, as if he couldn’t wait to tear open her clothes and fiercely play with those two red grapes.

"Hmph! Pervert!" Guan Qingxue snorted in disgust.

"Hehe!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled mischievously, and with a tap of his foot, he was already beside Guan Qingxue.

Before she could react, he grabbed her fragrant shoulder lightning-fast, forcibly pulling her in, and looking at the fiery lips before him, he dominantly kissed her.

Guan Qingxue let out a muffled protest, her eyes glaring coldly as if unable to believe that her first kiss had just been taken by Zhang Xiaohao.

Regaining her senses, she raised a delicate hand as white as jade, and with a burst of wind, she aimed a slap at Zhang Xiaohao’s face.

Just as her palm was about to strike Zhang Xiaohao’s face, he caught her incoming hand with a smile and said teasingly, "That kiss just now can be considered as my compensation for dealing with the middle-aged couple!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohao burst into laughter, his hand moving like lightning as he flicked Guan Qingxue’s pert nose.

With a light step, he left behind a trail of proud laughter and had already appeared outside the door. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Scoundrel! If you have the guts, stand still for me!" Guan Qingxue roared in anger, her eyes burning with fury, as if she was ready to gobble Zhang Xiaohao up.

After leaving Guan Qingxue’s villa, Zhang Xiaohao walked towards his own home.

Upon arriving, only Mr. Cheng was left, sitting in the living room playing chess.

"Mr. Cheng, where’s Xue’er?" asked Zhang Xiaohao.

"Xiao Xue seems to have gone to the company. I heard she’s been working on developing a new product recently," Mr. Cheng said with a smile.

"Hmm, I’m also going out for a bit. If I come back late tonight, don’t wait for dinner," Zhang Xiaohao said.

Having said that, he sauntered out towards the outdoors.

Today, he had more important matters to attend to.

He had already reviewed the Paris Spring product, and even with Guan Qingxue Group’s distribution channels, it wouldn’t be possible to sell it quickly.

Unless the price was lowered, but if he dared to do so, Su Ruobai would probably be the first to leap out and devour him alive, not even spitting out the bones.

Not to mention Cheng Tianxue, if she found out, she’d probably grab those huge scissors of hers and fight him all over the world.

Since lowering the price wasn’t an option, the goal was to make the Paris Spring product fly off the shelves.

And to sell out the product within a month.

As it stood, there was only one way to do this, which was to address the issue at its root.

With Zhang Xiaohao’s current level of medical expertise, developing a new cosmetic product to achieve effects of whitening and skincare in a short period was probably not feasible.

However, making some changes to the existing Paris Spring product to reach those effects was doable.

This time, Zhang Xiaohao planned to venture into the mountains at noon to collect the most essence-filled "Spiritual Dew" from between heaven and earth and use it to create a standalone skincare solution. When used in conjunction with the Paris Spring product, the combination might not achieve eternal youthfulness, but with long-term usage, it could make the skin more tender and lustrous.

It was now half-past nine, two and a half hours till noon.

Taking a car into the mountains was no longer feasible at this time, so Zhang Xiaohao chose a secluded trail and hurried towards the mountains near Nanhua City with the Twelve Heavenly Steps technique.

Wang Mengmeng’s condition had greatly improved since being resuscitated by Zhang Xiaohao with CPR the day before, feeling more spirited than ever.

Today, Wang Mengmeng had specially dressed in a sky-blue tracksuit, with her waterfall-like hair tied back with a fiery red hairband, ready for an outdoor mountain climbing live stream.

"Mengmeng, can you handle it? Don’t faint on the side of the mountain."

"Yeah, Mengmeng! If you faint again, and there’s no Xiaohao to give you CPR, then you’re really in trouble. I’ve heard that there are many wild animals in the mountains at night."

"How about we go back, Mengmeng?"

At the base of a large mountain, Wang Mengmeng held the Divine Artifact of Selfies, ready to live stream. As soon as her fans heard she was going mountain climbing, the live stream room became unsettled.

"Thank you for your concern, my darlings. Yesterday was just an accident; I definitely won’t faint again. I’ll be back before it gets dark," Wang Mengmeng said gently, brushing her fringe aside with a light smile.

After finishing, she chose a mountain trail and started climbing while live streaming.
