Xu Hao went downstairs with Anna and immediately noticed a large group of people surrounding his car.
They were holding iron rods, had tattoos on their bodies, wore the uniforms of security personnel, each one puffing on a cigarette, energetically discussing his car.
"Damn, Captain, we've struck gold this time, huh? This car's worth several hundred thousand, right?" a youngster in his twenties said, touching the car here and there, his mouth awash with amazement.
"You know nothing, kid, do you think the Captain would personally show up for a car worth just several hundred thousand? Several hundred thousand might just buy you one of this car's wheels! This car is worth at least several million!" an older youth scolded.
The leader cursed, "If you don't know, then shut up. This car is the latest model Aston Martin, worth tens of millions. Stop touching it haphazardly, you'll mess it up; if you do, I'll sell you guys to the yard, let you get screwed over all day!"
The men immediately stopped touching the car, standing obediently like elementary school students.
Arm in arm with Anna, Xu Hao walked toward the car, almost certain that this individual must be Captain Ma, as Manager Huang had mentioned, seemingly a minor leader of a security company, managing some people under him.
When the security personnel saw Anna, they all whistled at her like hungry wolves spotting a lamb.
Anna snorted, buried her head in Xu Hao's chest. With Xu Hao by her side, she felt entirely secure, but she didn't want to see these real hooligans.
At that moment, she felt that Chen Suyi had definitely slandered Xu Hao; compared to these people, Xu Hao was clearly a decent man, not some gangster!
Upon seeing Anna, Captain Ma's eyes lit up, and he immediately chuckled, "Kid, why didn't you take your girlfriend to stay at a hotel?"
Xu Hao indifferently replied, "What I do is none of your business."
"Ho-ho, tough guy, huh? Boys, come on, beat this kid up, snatch his girlfriend, such a pretty girl, since we've encountered her, we can't let her go!"
With a shout from Captain Ma, the security personnel started charging towards Xu Hao with loud yells.
But at that moment, a voice came from behind them, "Captain Ma, that Aston Martin belongs to this kid; you can't just kill him now!"
As the voice spoke, Hu Han was carried over, sitting on a stretcher, from behind.
Looking for people, Captain Ma had put Hu Han on a stretcher and tossed him into the back of a van.
Hu Han glared at Xu Hao venomously and sneered, "Kid, bet you didn't expect to see me again so soon. Now that Captain Ma is involved, I'd like to see where you can run. You think you're tough? I really want to see how tough you can be!"
At that moment, Xu Hao was completely surrounded, all eyes hungrily trained on him and Anna.
Meanwhile, Manager Huang came trembling out of the hotel, and upon seeing Captain Ma, he quickly began complaining loudly, "Captain Ma, this guy is inhuman; he's too powerful, we couldn't stop him. You must take revenge for us!"
As he got closer and saw Xu Hao encircled, he burst into happy laughter, "Haha, kid, you're surrounded, huh? Dared to beat me up? Captain Ma will show you who's in charge around here!"
Leaning against the car with his arms crossed, Captain Ma coolly said, "Kid, cough up one billion yuan as ransom, transfer it to this bank card, or don't expect to leave here standing..."
Saying so, he tossed a bank card at Xu Hao's feet. Thе саnоniсаl sоurсе fоr this соntеnt: М|V|L2ЕМРYR.
Manager Huang was stunned for a moment, "Captain Ma, are you mistaken? This guy is just a poor fool. Look at his clothes, they're not even worth one thousand yuan."
Captain Ma indifferently replied, "This Aston Martin is his."
"What? This car is actually his?!"
Manager Huang was instantly shocked; he had never imagined that Xu Hao could be so wealthy!
But he sneered instantly, "So what if you're rich, kid? You still can't escape a beating."
Seeing all these people looking so formidable and glancing at Anna, who was already getting drowsy and yawning in his arms, Xu Hao knew he needed to resolve the situation completely, or they wouldn't be getting any good sleep tonight.
If it were just a simple fight, they would definitely continue to seek revenge through their backers. Xu Hao himself didn't mind; he could stay up for three days and nights without any trouble, but Anna couldn't; after all, she had only a normal human body.
Moreover, she had run out alone, and her journey hadn't gone smoothly, having been robbed, and only after meeting Xu Hao and relaxing did she easily become sleepy.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao pulled out a business card.
This was from the night of the auction, where because he had demonstrated the effects of the Xu Liu Group's newly released cosmetics, many people had given him their business cards, hoping to acquire the products sooner, thus leaving him with their cards.
These items weren't heavy, and Xu Hao felt they might come in handy at some point, so he always carried them with him.
