Chapter 726: Chapter 726

After pooling resources from everywhere, the leading man finally gathered three hundred thousand yuan.

When he handed a bank card to Guo Lan, Guo Lan glanced at Xu Hao, with tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Xiao Lan quickly handed her a tissue, then gently patted her back to comfort her.

With tears in her voice, Guo Lan said, "After I arrived in Huadu, I had no relatives, and my plan was to find a teaching job in an elementary school. But before I could settle down, these people started targeting me, demanding money every other day. If I didn't pay, they would harass me at my doorstep. I wanted to move back to Jing'an City.

But they blocked the door and wouldn't let me leave. I was incredibly frustrated, and they took every bit of savings I had at home. If I hadn't met you a few days ago, I wouldn't have known how to survive. If it weren't for Youyou, I might have thought about ending it all."

After listening to Guo Lan's grievances, Xu Hao felt even more indignant toward these people, and said coldly, "You people truly deserve death! Today, I am going to punish you as a warning. If you dare to offend again, don't blame me for taking your lives!"

After saying this, Xu Hao waved his hand, and the muscular men charged at them like ferocious wolves, instantly knocking them all down.

These muscular men were security guards from the Security Group, with excellent physical ability, far beyond what these street thugs could compare with. They had no chance of resisting these security guards.

Even Xiao Si, whose tendons Xu Hao had previously severed, was not spared and was beaten until his face was swollen and blue, with bruises all over his body.

Witnessing such a brutal scene, many bystanders felt a chill in their hearts, and some even thought about sneaking away.

However, Xu Hao said coldly, "No one is leaving today! Did you think I didn't hear you mocking Guo Lan and her daughter earlier? Does the taste of 'human blood steamed buns' appeal to you? You might choose to look away and remain indifferent, but you accused Guo Lan without knowing the facts, where is your conscience?"

His gaze swept across everyone present, and no one dared to meet his eyes, all lowering their heads, many of them terrified and at a loss for what to do.

Xu Hao looked coldly at the crowd and said, "Now, you can choose to step forward, and I will mildly punish you, or you can report others and receive a reward. However, if someone else reports you, it means you do not wish to admit your wrong, so don't blame me for the severe punishment."

Originally, many people, hoping they would not be found out for their mockery, but when they heard about a reward for informants, they realized Xu Hao was effectively cutting off their escape by disrupting the relationships among the bystanders, creating a conflict of interest. At this moment, there would definitely be those who would report others for Xu Hao's reward.

Very soon, several people admitted their mistakes, apologized to Guo Lan and her daughter, and promised never to do it again.

They were mildly punished by Xu Hao's men.

However, two individuals refused to admit their faults and were reported. Xu Hao had someone slap them fifty times, swelling their mouths larger than a split-open chrysanthemum.

The onlookers were instantly silent as cicadas in winter, and no longer dared to make gestures at Guo Lan.

Guo Lan was teary with gratitude toward Xu Hao, and even wanted to bow down to thank him, but Xu Hao stopped her.

To Xu Hao, these actions were merely a trivial effort, but the Immortal Bone he received from Guo Lan was a priceless treasure. He needed to take good care of Guo Lan to be true to his conscience.

However, because the Immortal Bone was incredibly valuable and involved extensive implications, Xu Hao could not flaunt it or reveal the reason to Guo Lan, only mentioning that she had indeed helped him a lot.

After resolving the situation here, Xu Hao said, "Teacher Guo, Director Zhou of The Eighth Elementary School dared to expel you from the school when I was in decline. I will take you there now to seek justice for you!"

Knowing that Xu Hao had made up his mind and was not to be dissuaded, Guo Lan nodded.

Qian Youyou, nestled in her embrace, giggled at Xu Hao, continually praising him as awesome and even asking him to hold her.

Xu Hao had no resistance to such a cute little girl and picked her up.

When the crowd saw how affectionate Xu Hao and Qian Youyou were, they all understood that Xu Hao's relationship with the mother and daughter was not just a bit of assistance, but very intimate. This realization caused those who had been plotting mischief to immediately cease their plans. This content is presented by *.

They all knew that since Xu Hao had such a close relationship with them, he must have secretly assigned people to protect them; otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so opportunely, would he?

Xu Hao had no idle time to care about what the bystanders thought. He got Xiao Lan and the others into the car and headed towards The Eighth Elementary School.

Meanwhile, at The Eighth Elementary School, in the office where Guo Lan used to work,

it was time for the recess workout, and the English teacher, among other teachers, was chatting in the office.

The English teacher glanced at the now-empty place where Guo Lan used to sit, feeling secretly pleased.
