Chapter 66: Chapter 66

When he returned to Heavenly Life Villa, it was already 7:30 PM.

"Son-in-law, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ve already prepared the meal for you." Seeing Zhang Xiaohao come back, Sister Zhou greeted him with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Zhou!" Zhang Xiaohao thanked her with a smile, changed into a pair of slippers, and sat down on the sofa.

Soon, Sister Zhou brought several dishes of hot food to the table.

"Sister Zhou, where are Xue’er and Mr. Cheng?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Miss and Mr. Cheng have already eaten. I don’t know what happened, but since Miss and Miss Su came back this evening, Miss hasn’t said a word since she entered the door, and went straight upstairs after finishing her meal," Sister Zhou thought for a moment and said.

"Oh." Zhang Xiaohao responded calmly.

It seemed that the incident earlier had greatly upset Cheng Tianxue!

"Son-in-law, there’s something I as a servant shouldn’t say, but it’s really hard to keep it to myself."

"Sister Zhou, go ahead, I won’t get angry," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Since Miss Tianxue’s parents passed away early, she and her sister depended on each other for life. Back then, Mr. Cheng focused all his energy on his work and rarely had the time to care for the two young ladies. Fortunately, Miss Tianxue was smart and sensible, and took on the responsibility of caring for her sister voluntarily, while taking great care of this household as well. If Miss Tianxue has ever treated you poorly, I hope you can be more tolerant considering Mr. Cheng’s sake. These many years, Miss Tianxue has been the backbone of this household and taking care of her sister, she really hasn’t had it easy!" Sister Zhou said with a look of loss.

"Wait, Sister Zhou, you said Xue’er has a sister? How come I’ve never heard about her?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.

"Ah, it’s understandable you don’t know about it since you’ve only recently arrived." Sister Zhou sighed, then continued, "Miss Tianxue’s sister is named Cheng Qingsu, and they are twins! Miss Tianxue is sensible and smart, while Miss Qingsu is capricious and prone to stirring up trouble, which has really worried Miss Tianxue and Mr. Cheng! Right before you came to the Cheng Family, about a month ago, Miss Qingsu went to the United States with a group of friends. By my calculations, she should be returning soon."

"Twins? Cheng Qingsu?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed in surprise.

"Mhm." Sister Zhou nodded, then added, "You better eat your meal, and I will come to clean up afterwards."

"Go ahead with your tasks first, Sister Zhou!" Zhang Xiaohao responded.

Sitting at the dining table, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

His mind was filled with thoughts about Cheng Qingsu and her parents’ deaths.

After finishing his meal, Zhang Xiaohao’s special phone began to ring at this moment.

Zhang Xiaohao took out his phone, saw that it was a call from the old man, furrowed his brow, answered the call, and walked to the side.

"Xiaohao, I have some bad news for you!" the old man said with a hint of silence.

"Old man, what’s the matter? Why so secretive?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"The person you asked me to look into—I used all the resources at my disposal and only got some basic information. I couldn’t find detailed information; it’s as if this person appeared out of nowhere."

"What? Old man, you’re not joking, right? Is there anyone in the country you can’t find?" Zhang Xiaohao was really surprised.

The old man on the phone was no ordinary person; with extremely high authority, except for some specially designated matters, there was nothing he could not investigate.

"Xiaohao, listen to me. This person named Zhou Pengfei, according to the information displayed, was born in Nanhua City. However, since he was five years old, he moved to settle in the United States until he returned to his home country three months ago and took over as the General Manager of Lanling Venture Capital Co., Ltd. Besides these, other information is untraceable," the old man said seriously.

"Thanks, old man! By the way, have there been any updates on that thousand-year-old ginseng I asked you to keep an eye on?" Zhang Xiaohao asked solemnly.

"Speaking of which, coincidentally, the information I couldn’t find no matter how hard I tried just appeared out of nowhere a moment ago in the underworld of Nanhua City. I suspect someone is deliberately spreading the word and using the ginseng as bait to set up a huge conspiracy. Though I don’t know what the ultimate aim of this conspiracy is, it surely poses a threat to Nanhua City! Xiaohao, you’re needed once again, and I have only one demand: make sure that person vanishes from this world completely!"

Even over the phone, Zhang Xiaohao could feel the old man’s palpable murderous aura.

"Don’t worry, old man. No matter what their conspiracy is! The ginseng will be mine, and the man will be dealt with," Zhang Xiaohao said sternly.

"Thank you, Xiaohao. If you need backup, just give the order," the old man responded.

"Need help dealing with a bunch of nobodies? If so, wouldn’t that tarnish the name of ’War God’ I’ve been called?" Zhang Xiaohao stated boldly and confidently.

After hanging up, Zhang Xiaohao didn’t go to the upstairs room.

Tonight’s news was significant; he needed time to process it.

He entered Cheng Family’s small luxury swimming pool, stripped off his clothes, and coldly jumped in.

With fluid strokes, he swam back and forth in the pool a hundred laps before finally stopping at the edge.

Picking up a bottle of fine red wine from the side, he poured himself a glass. Zhang Xiaohao squinted his eyes and slowly began to sip.

"Zhou Pengfei? Untraceable? Even if you hide deeply, I will personally dig you out of your hiding hole and ensure you have no place to rest in death!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly as he drank his wine.

The most pressing issue was that two thousand-year-old ginseng. In three days, on the night’s outskirts in the southern district at the chaotic graveyard hills, the ginseng would appear there.

Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaohao finished the bottle of red wine and stood up from the swimming pool.

His mind, however, wandered to another matter: Cheng Tianxue’s twin sister, Cheng Qingsu—his little aunt!

According to Sister Zhou’s introduction, this little aunt of his was not someone easy to handle.

Returning to his room upstairs, strangely, tonight Cheng Tianxue hadn’t locked the outer door of the room. Probably knew that locking it would be useless against Zhang Xiaohao.

It’s also possible that Cheng Tianxue was moved by Zhang Xiaohao’s behavior earlier in the evening, and therefore she didn’t lock the room.

"Heh heh." Zhang Xiaohao smirked proudly and pushed open the room door to enter.

Glancing at the tightly closed inner room, Zhang Xiaohao took off his clothes and lay down on the bed in just his boxers.

Turning off the lights, Zhang Xiaohao drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the inner room’s door quietly opened. Through the scattered moonlight, one could see a sneaky shadowy figure slipping out of the room.
