Chapter 552: Chapter 552

This was clearly a struggle between Xu Hao and the Wu Family, yet the Cao Family was involuntarily dragged into it.

Even though under his and his son's leadership, the Cao Family had essentially resolved their conflicts with Xu Hao, Cao Zhi had almost led the Cao Family to utter ruin!

Cao Ren finally couldn't hold back his anger and shouted, "Cao Zhi, look at this, this is the consequence of not heeding advice! If it weren't for Young Master Wu's timely rescue, if it weren't for Old Master Wu's strong support, the Cao Family would have been finished today!"

Many Cao family members also looked at Cao Zhi with eyes full of resentment; many of their friends and relatives had died terribly in the recent battle, all because of Cao Zhi's obstinacy!

Cao Zhi snorted coldly, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? When I made the decision to attack Xu Hao just now, who stopped me? Which one of you didn't agree? If you hadn't agreed, could I have taken this seat, could my decisions have been carried out?"

Many people immediately felt ashamed. Indeed, if it hadn't been for their support behind him, how could Cao Zhi's actions have been effective?

Seeing that the people of the Cao Family were about to quarrel again, Wu Mengchong said coldly, "Shut up, all of you! Do you really think things aren't bad enough? You still want to fight among yourselves?"

Everyone instantly closed their mouths, including Cao Ren.

Wu Mengchong looked around and snorted coldly, "It's true that Xu Hao is strong, unimaginably strong, but don't forget, no matter how powerful a person is, they are not invincible! Just like the Blade Demon of the past, arrogantly challenging all the major families and sects alone, making a name for himself. But what of it? Didn't he end up being jointly executed by those high monks?

Xu Hao is strong, but he is far inferior to the Blade Demon of the past by more than a hundredfold! As long as the powerful backers of the Wu Family send strong fighters, they can immediately execute Xu Hao on the spot! Xu Hao is nothing to worry about!"

All of them silently bowed their heads.

Many had speculated that there might be even more powerful backers behind the Wu Family, but no one knew whether this was true or just how strong they were. So when Xu Hao suppressed everyone with his strength, they were frightened, scared, and daunted.

But today, Wu Kui himself said he would call for intervention, which meant it was true!

Behind the Wu Family was indeed a much stronger power, and that was probably the reason they didn't fear any force in Huadu!

Wu Mengchong continued, "Therefore, since you all have already voluntarily allied with our Wu Family, you must continue to stick with it. As long as you remain loyal to us, the Wu Family will certainly not abandon any of you!" C*a!tch& the for#ma+t*t-ed@ v*er%s-i+on@ at M|.V^|LEM_@PY&R.

These words coming from the mouth of Young Master Wu Mengchong carried extra persuasive power. Many members of the Cao Family nodded their heads and declared their willingness to serve the Wu Family to the death.

"Although Cao Zhi was a bit reckless in his conduct, he dared to think and act. Just give him a minor punishment. Cao Ren and Cao An, I've known you for many years, and I can feel your loyalty. Your choice today was also not wrong, not directly confronting Xu Hao, not striking against the stone, waiting for rescue. That was the correct decision. Therefore, you don't have to be punished!"

"Thank you, Young Master Wu!" Everyone immediately gave thanks, including Cao Ren and his son.

Wu Mengchong's words caused some displeasure in Cao Zhi's heart. He felt that Cao Ren and his son's attitude towards Xu Hao seemed somewhat ambiguous, and even somewhat inexplicable, but he had no evidence and dared not speculate recklessly.

After settling the Cao Family's affairs, Wu Mengchong had someone gather the body of the Second Protector and took it away with them.

Xu Hao drove to the entrance of the neighborhood and saw a man with a thin frame and looking not too well, anxiously waiting for something.

Xu Hao's heart stirred, wasn't this the computer genius Jing Yuanfan?

After that student had introduced Jing Yuanfan to Xu Hao that day, Xu Hao immediately had Wang Zhong help him check this person's information and found out that he was indeed a famous figure in the internet industry, and his deeds were impressive.

Xu Hao stopped the car and said to him, "Jing Yuanfan?"

Jing Yuanfan immediately exclaimed with joy, "You... You're Chairman Xu?"

"Indeed! Get in the car and we'll talk!" Xu Hao smiled, got out of the car, and opened the door himself.

Jing Yuanfan glanced at his somewhat worn clothes and faded jeans and hurriedly said, "No… Chairman Xu, there's no need for that. I can just follow you in."

"How could that be okay? Get in!" Xu Hao insisted, pushed him into the car, and then closed the door.

The security guard at the entrance was stunned to see Xu Hao treating this young man so courteously!

Although Xu Hao hadn't lived there long, they vaguely knew of his esteemed identity.

That was a person who even wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong bowed and paid respects to, whom Huadu's big shot Chu Yunlong personally drove for, and even Chen Hai, the top boss of Tiannan, treated with great respect!

Despite Xu Hao's youth, his status was too exalted. But this all the more highlighted just how powerful the backing behind Xu Hao was!
