way through.After all, Ling Hao hasn't revealed his identity to him yet. Calling him Ling Shuai directly would be a bit abrupt."Li Lao, Li Patriarch, you're all here!" Ling Hao nodded and walked over...."Young Master Ling, there are private rooms upstairs. Why don't you move up there I'll have the kitchen prepare a new—" Rose looked at Ling Hao and opened her mouth.

"No need, we're almost done eating. Go take care of your wounds first!" Ling Hao waved his hand.

"Alright then, I'll be upstairs. Ling Shao, if you need anything, just call me." Rose didn't insist any further.

"Mmm!" Ling Hao nodded.

Rose then greeted Xuanpang and Qin Yuxin before turning to leave.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing! I admire you so much!" After everyone left, Qin Yufei looked at Ling Hao with an exaggerated expression.

"Little girl, eat quickly. After you finish, I'll take you to the company." Ling Hao smiled faintly.

"Brother-in-law, after I officially graduate, will you teach me martial arts" Qin Yufei asked seriously.

"Go to your job and learn your skills!" Ling Hao glared at her.

"Just promise me, please! I really want to learn!" Qin Yufei stared at Ling Hao with a pitiful expression.

"Xiao Fei, do you think learning martial arts is fun" Xuan Pang spoke from the side: "That's not how people live!"

He recalled the miserable experiences he had in the Xuanmen over the years, feeling like his life was worse than death.

"It's fine, I was mentally prepared!" Qin Yufei said with a determined expression.

"Don't make a fuss!" Ling Hao was speechless.

"I'm serious, just agree to me," Qin Yufei said again.

"Yu Fei, what a coincidence, you're having dinner here too" Just then, a stunning figure walked towards the three of them, followed by an elderly man.

Ling Hao turned his head and glanced over, his eyes narrowed slightly. The person who came was none other than Miss Pan, Pan Yijie.

"Mr. Pan" Qin Yufie saw the other person and said in a loud voice after a slight pause, "Hello, Mr. Pan. Are you here to eat too"

After finishing, she looked at Ling Hao and said: "Brother-in-law, let me introduce, this is the general manager of my current company, Ms. Pan, she's also the eldest daughter of the Pan family, one of the four major families in Jiang Hai!"

Upon hearing this, both Ling Hao and Xuan Pang's eyes flashed with a peculiar glint.

"Ling Shao, hello! I didn't expect you to be in Jiang Hai!" Pan Yijie looked at Ling Hao and said.

"Huh" Qin Yufei was slightly taken aback. "President Pan, do you know my brother-in-law"

"Well! I've met Ling Shao twice before." Pan Yijie looked at Qin Yufei and smiled.

"Xiao Fei, have you finished eating If you have, let Xuan Pang send you back first." Ling Hao glanced at Pan Yijie and then said to Qin Yufei.

"Huh I haven't finished eating yet," Qin Yufei said, startled again.

"Xiaofei, it's said that the snacks in Jianghai are pretty good. I rarely come here, could you take me to try them" Xuanpang smiled.

Although he didn't know what was going on between his older brother and Pan Yijie, he had a feeling that Pan Yijie was probably not there by chance.

Big brother obviously guessed this, so he didn't want Qin Yufei to get involved in what was going to happen next. He knew that knowing too much wouldn't be good for her.

"But," Qin Yufei said, looking puzzled.

"Go ahead!" Ling Hao waved his hand. "I'll be in Jiang Hai for the next few days. I'll treat you to a big meal after I'm done."

"Well then!" Qin Yufei naturally saw something amiss as well. After that, she said hello to Pan Yijie and left with Xuan Pang.

"Young Master Ling, would you be willing to come to my private room for a chat" After the two of them left, Pan Yijie took a deep breath and spoke to Ling Hao.

Every time she met Ling Hao, she felt an invisible pressure.

Ling Hao fixed his gaze on her for a few moments, then got up and walked upstairs.

The lobby was crowded and noisy, indeed not a suitable place for a discussion.

A few minutes later, the two of them came to a place and sat down.

"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for gracing us with your presence!" Pan Yijie picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ling Hao.

“Don’t be so clever!” Ling Hao said calmly, “That kind of thing will only invite trouble.”

"Excuse me, but I'm a bit slow. I don't understand what Young Master Ling means" Pan Yijie's hand paused slightly.

"Do you have to keep pretending" Ling Hao's voice turned a few degrees colder. "Xiaofei went to intern at your company under the Pan family, don't tell me this is a coincidence!"

Before that in the hall, when he heard Qin Yufei call Pan Yijie “Ms. Pan,” he immediately understood.

This incident, obviously, was Pan Yijie's intention to get close to him after they last met in Dongzhou.

With the Pan family's influence, it wouldn't be difficult to find out who was around him. Back then, Wu Tianquan was able to discover that Qin Yufeng was his aunt, so Pan Yijie could certainly find out the same information.

"Ling Shao misunderstood!" Pan Yijie poured tea for the two of them after she sat down: "My company went to Miss Qin's school to hold a campus recruitment fair. She was excellent in all aspects, so..."

"Is that so" Ling Hao interrupted her. "You dare say you weren't targeting her when you organized the job fair"

"Ling Shao, I have no ill intentions towards Miss Qin," Pan Yijie took a deep breath and didn't deny it again.

To pretend to be ignorant in front of a smart person is only self-deprecating. What's more, she's facing someone like Ling Hao, a once-in-a-millennium genius.

"To use a simple college student, and not even with malicious intent" Ling Hao's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "Besides, you appearing here today, do you dare say it was a coincidence"

"I..." Pan Yijie felt like she was an incompetent retard in front of Ling Hao, completely clueless on how to respond.

"Unwilling to admit it Then let me analyze it for you!" Ling Hao picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"After what happened to the Buddha, your four Jiang Hai families must have been investigating who did it everywhere, but until today, you still haven't got any definite information."

"However, there is one thing you can be certain of: Buddha was struck by the catastrophe because he arrested Shen Le."

Very few people, besides you, know about my close relationship with Shen Le.

Given my understanding of you, you would definitely try every means to prove whether or not Buddha's matter was done by me, so that your Pan family can make the next decision.

"Young Master Ling, I..." Pan Yijie took another deep breath, her face slightly uneasy.

"You know I'm very likely to meet Xiaofei after coming to Jianghai, so if my guess is correct, you should have had people watching her since yesterday." Ling Hao put down his teacup and continued.

And do you really think I didn't know you were already here at the restaurant You were sitting at a table by the door the moment we finished ordering!

"And with Guo Zhi Chao stirring things up like that, it conveniently aligns with your thoughts. You can judge my relationship with Rose based on this."

"After the Buddha's departure, Rose began to take control of the Buddha's assets. Anyone with a bit of intelligence would guess that someone was backing Rose, and that person is clearly the one you are looking for."

"As expected, Rose's behavior when she saw me made it clear to you instantly what our relationship is."

"So, you have finally appeared!"

"Am I right"from other countries to the Western nation."Yes, yes," Yan Junmin swallowed hard."Your Yan family truly deserves to be killed!" the Judge roared."They actually colluded with the Xiyun Merchant Guild!...
