"Did you manage to get any information on them?" Xu Hao asked.
"We've only discovered their whereabouts, but we couldn't record any video evidence. Their counter-surveillance capabilities are very strong; as soon as we try to take pictures or videos, we will inevitably be detected by them. If that happens, our intelligence officers could be in danger.
Although most of our intelligence officers are skilled in Kung Fu, that is, after all, the Wu family's territory. We cannot start conflicts and cause unnecessary trouble there. Gathering intelligence has always been about being discreet," Wang Zhong reported.
"Hmm, I understand. Although there is no direct evidence that will make the Wu family admit that they did it, they did it, didn't they?"
"Well, although it's a bit circuitous, that is indeed the case."
"Good! I don't need any evidence. As long as I've determined it was the Wu family, then I want them to give me a satisfactory answer!" Xu Hao said coldly.
"Young master, is this really alright? After all, without evidence, we can't have the Wu family executed," Wang Zhong said somewhat embarrassingly. He hadn't expected Xu Hao to use such a direct approach. Although it was simple, it was not a good method for solving problems!
This would make Xu Hao appear impulsive, drastically diminishing his image in the eyes of others.
Moreover, resorting to violence could even provoke a strong backlash from those people, causing them to quickly band together in an attempt to take Xu Hao down once and for all!
Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Those people like playing little tricks, but I'm not interested in playing along! Go tell them, within three days, I want a satisfactory answer, or the Wu family better not leave their homes!"
Wang Zhong sighed deeply. He knew that Xu Hao had made up his mind, and any further persuasion would be futile. He had to do as Xu Hao had ordered, but he also knew that he had to report to Xu Hao's father, feeling that Xu Hao's aura of killing intent seemed to be growing stronger.
Anna waited until Xu Hao hung up the phone before asking, "Brother, what's wrong with you? I feel like you really want to kill someone! You seem a bit not normal right now!"
Xu Hao took a deep breath and laughed, "You're overthinking it. How am I not normal?"
"I just feel a bit abnormal. You just now scared me a little," Anna said with her lips pouted, speaking timidly.
Xu Hao affectionately scratched her little nose and laughed, "Originally, without their little tricks, I wouldn't have bothered to confront them so soon. My plan was to simply focus on developing my business. If there were problems, we would sit down and discuss, and if discussions failed, then we would resort to force.
But what I didn't expect was that they would secretly pull these moves! The Wei family is the first Huadu power that I intend to subdue. Perhaps the Wu family has realized this, so they're doing everything to obstruct me, making my plan to subdue the Wei family dead on arrival. This chapter was made possible by the * community.
If they successfully stop me from subduing the Wei family, then they would essentially halt my progress completely, and I would no longer be a concern to them."
"But... but can they stop you from subduing the Wei family just by framing Wei Family Restaurant ?" Anna asked, puzzled.
"Of course, they can! If they destroy the Wei family's business, and I'm powerless to help, it sends a message to the outside world—see that? This is what happens to families who work with Xu Hao! Xu Hao can't even protect his own vassal family!
At that point, unless they're fools, everyone will understand that there's no future in following me, and they'll all abandon me," Xu Hao patiently explained.
"Sigh! You all think too complicatedly; I feel my brain isn't up to it," Anna said, shaking her head in frustration and giving up on thinking about these things.
Xu Hao smiled and said, "I also don't want to play these schemes with those people, so I'm going to use force to deter them, to make them realize, the peaches of Xu Hao are not to be touched by anyone!"
"Mmm-hmm, then I'll just stand behind you and cheer you on!" Anna squinted her eyes into slits, her face full of happiness.
"Master, the young master is being too risky..." Wang Zhong reported in detail to Xu Hao's father, about Xu Hao's plans.
Unexpectedly, after pondering for a moment, Xu Hao's father laughed heartily and said, "This kid is bold! He's got even more guts than I did back in my day! Since he wants to do this, let him proceed. He's not a fool; he must have a considerable level of confidence to challenge those familial patriarchs of the old generation."
"But still, we only have two Grandmaster Level people on our side, and they're only at the Early Level, what if something unexpected happens to the young master..." Wang Zhong's face was full of concern.
"Hahaha! No worries! Even if all the great families in Huadu were annihilated, my son wouldn't suffer the slightest injury. Just support him with confidence!" Xu Hao's father said with utmost confidence, "Alright, it's time to hang up the phone. Those guys have started tracing it again!"
