School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Once upon a time, he had visited the home of the Provincial Secretary and had proposed the idea of opening a sauna in the provincial city, only to face the vehement opposition of the Secretary, who severely reprimanded him. At that time, the Provincial Secretary's eyes looked exactly like Xiao Han's.

It should be known that the Provincial Secretary had been a high-ranking official all his life, living in luxury and commanding respect from his high position for many years. Yet Xiao Han was just a young man; how could he possibly have that kind of look in his eyes?

After a tremble ran through his body, Liu Hao soon caught his breath. When he looked into Xiao Han's eyes again, he found them gentle, devoid of the initial cold sharpness. At that moment, Liu Hao felt as if he had been dreaming.

"Xiao Han, do you realize whom you have offended?" Director Li fiercely scolded from the side.

"I don't care who you are," Xiao Han retorted dismissively, then added, "You can look down on me or despise me. But if any of you think about harming Xiaoya with your crooked ideas, I'll be the first to disagree!"

Xiao Han's words were forceful and resonant, giving an impression of unquestionable authority.

Liu Hao sneered, "Xiao Han, it's wise to leave some leeway, so we can meet again in the future. Don't you even know that? You've offended everyone here; how will you manage in the provincial city from now on?"

"Young Master Liu, the provincial city is not just for a few of you to rule!" Xiao Han replied disdainfully.

Truly speaking, Liu Hao was just someone with a powerful father. Liu Hao's father was an insider in the Provincial Committee and had extensive connections in the provincial city. It was due to these connections that Liu Hao had been able to build a company worth hundreds of millions from scratch in just a few short years.

Without his father's influence, he might never have achieved what he did in his lifetime.

"Ha ha, lad, you really don't know who Young Master Liu is, do you?" said Director Li, bursting into laughter at that moment.

"Does it matter who he is?" Xiao Han replied disdainfully.

Then President Chen spoke up, "Xiao Han, you shouldn't be too sharp. Acting like this will only lead to your downfall eventually. Let me tell you, Young Master Liu is the son of Secretary Liu from the Provincial Political and Legal Committee. Now that you've offended Young Master Liu, I'm afraid you have no future in the provincial city."

Xiao Han's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Liu Hao in disbelief; he had not expected that this young man, who seemed to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six, was the son of a Provincial Committee leader. That was simply incredible. Had he known this earlier, Xiao Han would definitely not have burned his bridges; but now, it seemed like there was no turning back.

"Lad, finally scared, are you?" said Director Li, smiling gleefully.

"Scared?" Xiao Han was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I, Xiao Han, have never known what fear is. What does it matter if Young Master Liu is the son of Secretary Liu? I haven't offended Secretary Liu. Besides, even if I had, what of it? I don't break the law, nor do I engage in politics. I'm just a businessman trying to do business honestly."

Ha ha ha...

The crowd burst into laughter.

Liu Hao also couldn't help but laugh. However, he looked up at Xiao Han and said, "I finally understand what they mean by 'a baby calf is not afraid of a tiger'."

Just as the group was preparing to gang up on Xiao Han, suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open. A man in a suit hurried in and said, "Young Master Liu, Young Master Mo is here; haven't you been wanting to meet him? Today is your chance."

"Really?" At this, Liu Hao was overjoyed.

"Yes, just arrived," the man in the suit hurriedly nodded, saying, "Young Master Mo is in a good mood today, came to sit in the store."

"Alright, I'll go right now," Liu Hao quickly put down his glass and stood up, saying, "Everyone, we are in luck today; I didn't expect to run into Young Master Mo. I'll go invite him over so everyone can meet him, and then we can all establish a good relationship with Young Master Mo."

"My God, we actually have the luck to meet Young Master Mo today?"

"No way?"

"How lucky!"

Whether it was President Chen, Director Li, or the other businessmen present, everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing the name Young Master Mo. Almost everyone in the provincial city knew his name. Who was Young Master Mo? He was a legendary figure with an incredibly powerful background; his father was a Provincial Secretary and his mother the head of the provincial Construction Bank.

His grandfather was a military leader.

Moreover, Young Master Mo was a prodigy himself, having built a business empire single-handedly. Dingsheng Group was his creation, involved in a wide range of industries. Real estate was a vital pillar of Dingsheng Group, in addition to the service industry and catering. Even the elegant, comfortable restaurant where Xiao Han was situated was owned by Young Master Mo personally.

"Sister, what's the story with this Young Master Mo?" Xiao Han asked, curious.

"Young Master Mo is the number one guy in the provincial city." Li Xiaoya leaned close to Xiao Han's ear and then whispered softly, "He's also one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital. He's a good man with a strong background. I've always wanted to make his acquaintance, but I never had the chance. Mainly because there was no one to introduce us. However, today is a great opportunity."

"I see." Xiao Han nodded slightly.

"Xiao Han, you must be careful with what you say later. Don't offend Young Master Mo." Li Xiaoya seriously instructed, "You can offend Liu Hao, but don't ever offend Young Master Mo, understand?"

"Sis, I understand," Xiao Han nodded and said, "I know how to handle things."

"That's good." Li Xiaoya immediately nodded.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Before long, Liu Hao, with utmost respect, invited Young Master Mo inside. Liu Hao was a year or two older than Young Master Mo. The two also had some connections, after all, Liu Hao's father was a leader in the Provincial Committee while Young Master Mo's father was the Provincial Secretary; they both worked in the same government compound, so they definitely knew each other.

Although the two were not close, they were acquainted. Thus, Young Master Mo did not snub Liu Hao's face but rather gave him face by coming to the private room.

Young Master Mo knew that there would definitely be some of Liu Hao's dodgy friends inside, but out of respect for face, he had to come. After all, maintaining relationships is just part of being human.

"Everyone, this is our provincial city's Young Master Mo." Liu Hao said excitedly, "Young Master Mo is really giving us a lot of face today."

Whoosh...

Everyone stood up, seven or eight people, each looking eagerly at Young Master Mo.

With their backs to the door, Xiao Han and Li Xiaoya, Li Xiaoya was curious and turned her head to see what Young Master Mo looked like, but Xiao Han had no interest and just kept eating and drinking on his own. Young Master Mo walked in slowly, smiling, "Everyone, please sit, sit, no need to be so polite. As friends of Young Master Liu, you are friends of mine, Mo Shaocong!"

"Mo Shaocong?" Xiao Han heard the name, not only did it sound familiar, but the person also seemed very familiar.

Xiao Han quickly turned his head and immediately saw the elegant Mo Shaocong. Dashing and well-dressed in a sensible suit, wearing a wine-red tie, his hair impeccable, and his face bore a faint smile. It was clear that the smile was a practiced one, a habitual smile.

"Big brother?!" Xiao Han exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Mo Shaocong. No wonder the name sounded so familiar, it turned out... he was the Mo Shaocong he had met in the Macau casino. And the two had sworn brotherhood. They were indeed very good brothers.

Mo Shaocong was startled for a moment, his customary smile suddenly became warm, and his polite look changed instantly into one of eagerness. He strode towards Xiao Han, shaking his hand excitedly and said, "Xiao Han? What are you doing in the provincial city? You rascal, you came to the provincial city and didn't even tell me a word?

Don't you consider me a brother, ignoring your big brother like this?"

Clearly, Mo Shaocong's tone was genuine, and he was sincerely reproaching Xiao Han.

In the private room, the group appeared very shocked. Liu Hao was dumbfounded, President Chen's jaw almost dropped, and Boss Li, frightened, quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hurriedly reached for the wine on the table but accidentally knocked over a glass, spilling wine all over.

Li Xiaoya also appeared surprised, but her astonishment was different from that of Liu Hao and the others. Their eyes not only held shock and disbelief but also a hint of nervousness. They had just completely offended Xiao Han, and yet, Mo Shaocong, one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital, appeared to be quite familiar with Xiao Han, seemingly having a really good relationship.

"Young Master Mo... this..." Liu Hao looked puzzled at Mo Shaocong.

"Oh, let me introduce." Mo Shaocong smiled and said, "This is my sworn brother, Xiao Han. Don't be fooled by his young age, heh heh… he's pretty amazing."

Whoosh...

The crowd suddenly buzzed with noise, Mo Shaocong and Xiao Han were sworn brothers? Things had gone too far now.

If it were just a close friend or a business acquaintance, it wouldn't matter much if they were offended. After all, Liu Hao and Mo Shaocong also had some connections. But Xiao Han being Mo Shaocong's sworn brother was a big deal.

Liu Hao's expression immediately darkened, his face nearly turning ashen.

"Young Master Liu, what's with that look?" Liu Hao curiously asked.

"I…I'm just surprised," Liu Hao hastily mustered a smile and said, "It's nothing, just didn't expect Young Master Mo and this kid to be sworn brothers. Young Master Mo, your taste... heh heh..."

Saying this, Liu Hao chuckled mysteriously.

Mo Shaocong's expression darkened as he said, "Liu Hao, what do you mean by that?"

"I... I mean nothing!" Upon hearing this, Liu Hao startled. To offend Mo Shaocong was no small matter. He had just been probing a bit, and if Mo Shaocong had not reacted, he would have probed deeper. But unexpectedly, just touching the surface had already provoked Mo Shaocong, making Liu Hao realize that Mo Shaocong indeed regarded Xiao Han as a brother.
