As he kneeled and wailed, he confessed to all those misdeeds.
“Very good! Now drink this!”
Tang Hao brought another cup of tea and poured it into his mouth.
Soon, Gao Wei came to his senses. He kneeled there with a blank look on his face.
Tang Hao smiled at him and walked outside. When he opened the door, several police officers walked in.
“That’s him!” Tang Hao pointed at Gao Wei.
Two police officers rushed forward and pinned him down. Another went to check the toolbox and found the pinhole cameras and recording devices in a hidden compartment.
“Good job! We caught him red-handed! Let’s go!”
The two policemen carried him and walked out.
Gao Wei’s whole body went limp and his expression was vacant.
He remained confused, not knowing how to react. He thought that the kid was naïve, but the kid had actually seen through his ruse and took him for a ride!
Chapter 649 - Liu Yulong
The police searched the house and found the planted devices. They took Tang Hao’s statement and left.
Tang Hao sat down with a gloomy face.
“Liu Yulong!”
He heard that name from that guy earlier. According to him, Liu Yulong was Zeng Yan’s sponsor, and he was the one who helped Zeng Yan rise to fame.
The guy earlier was Gao Wei, also known as the Number One Paparazzi.
Tang Hao had seen that name many times on the Internet.
“Hmph! Number One Paparazzi? He’s not smart enough to stay away from my house!” Tang Hao grunted coldly.
He logged on to the Internet and searched the name Liu Yulong.
“Liu Corporation? No wonder he’s so brazen!”
This Liu Corporation was a big corporation with a long history. It was as big as Song Corporation from before.
After some investigation, he found that Liu Corporation did not seem to be as influential as Song Corporation. However, they must have someone powerful backing them if they were able to grow so big.
Tang Hao sat there and pondered for a long time.
Suddenly, he sneered and muttered, “If you want to play dirty, then I won’t hold back either. Two can play that game!”
Immediately, he took out his phone and gave Old Master Luo a call.
“Sorry to trouble you again, Old Master! Don’t worry. I’ll cook for you personally to repay this favor!
“I want you to help me investigate Zeng Yan, that singer, and see if there’s any dirt on her! If there is, post it on the Internet and stir it up.”
After saying that, Tang Hao ended the call.
Old Master Luo was an expert on digging up dirt. He knew all sorts of people, and the investigation would be quick.
…
In the mansion, Zeng Yan was waiting anxiously.
Gao Wei had said that he would plant the cameras and recording devices this morning.
It should have been a trivial thing for an expert like Gao Wei, but why had she not received any news from him? She looked at the time. It was almost one o’clock in the afternoon.
There was no activity on her phone at all. She made a few calls, but none of them were answered.
“How could this be?”
She muttered as she furrowed her brows.
She calmed herself down after being anxious for a while. Gao Wei was the best person for the job, and he had never failed before. She did not have to worry.
Perhaps he was delayed by something.
She waited until three o’clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, a piece of news broke out on the Internet.
“Gao Wei is arrested!”
The news immediately shocked the Internet.
“Ha, that scum! He’s finally arrested!”
“Haha! Who was the one who defeated him? How amazing, even the Number One Paparazzi stumbled!”
The atmosphere on the Internet was jubilant. Countless people were celebrating.
As for Zeng Yan, her expression changed drastically when she saw the news.
‘How is that possible?
‘Gao Wei actually failed? He’s even arrested?’
She sat there in disbelief.
Not long after, reports about her scandals started appearing on the Internet, including news about her plastic surgery and her public meltdowns. It caused an uproar.
Her expression became more and more unpleasant.
‘It must be that Tang Hao!
‘Only he has the ability to do so!’
For a moment, she regretted provoking him.
After ten o’clock, her intimate photos and videos appeared on the Internet.
In an instant, the Internet was abuzz again.
When she saw these photos, she was stunned and her face turned extremely pale.
‘It’s over!’
She sat there, somewhat stupefied.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She instantly became nervous and picked up the phone in fear.
“What the hell is going on? How did Gao Wei get caught? !” Liu Yulong’s angry roar came from the other end of the phone. “And those photos, what’s going on? Who did it?”
“It’s… It’s… my ex-boyfriend, no… It’s Haotian. That photo is of my ex-boyfriend. Haotian did that…” Zeng Yan said in a panic.
“Haotian?” Liu Yulong was stunned. “What’s going on? Why is Haotian involved?”
“Haotian’s boss is behind that b*tch. Mr. Gao went to Tang Hao’s house to install devices today and was caught.”
Liu Yulong fell silent.
After a moment, he cursed loudly.
“You idiot! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Do you think Haotian is a pushover? Don’t you know who is behind Haotian? Mao Mountain. Even I am afraid of them. You two idiots actually want to mess with him.”
“Mao Mountain?”
Zeng Yan was stunned and confused.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you! Dammit, you idiots!”
Liu Yulong cursed and ended the call.
He threw his phone on the bed and sat there with a terrifying gloomy expression on his face.
Haotian Group would be tricky to deal with. They had a powerful background!
Ever since that movie was released, it had become public knowledge that Haotian Group was supported by Mao Mountain. Tang Hao must be from Mao Mountain as well.
The Liu family was an influential force in the Huaxia cultivation world, but it was no comparison to Mao Mountain.
Maoshan was a major Taoist sect with countless disciples.
However, he could not take it lying down.
After thinking for a long time, his expression turned vicious and he muttered, “So what if it’s Mao Mountain? If he dares to mess with me, I’ll deal with him personally.”
He picked up his phone and made a call.
“Book me a plane ticket to Province Z tomorrow morning. I have some urgent business there!”
The next morning, he boarded the plane and flew to Province Z.
Chapter 650 - Qin Xiangyi In Trouble
There was a wide road in front of Celestial Foothill Gardens.
The residential area was remote, and not many cars passed by there.
Currently, a black BMW was parked by the side of the road.
Two people were sitting in the car. One was the driver. He was a man in his fifties, wearing a black suit and sunglasses.
A young man in his mid-twenties sat In the back seat. He was handsome and wore an expensive suit. On his wrist was a gold watch.
He crossed his legs and sat there quietly, as if he was waiting for something.
From time to time, he raised his hand and looked at his watch before looking at the road ahead.
It was almost seven o’clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark. The road was pitch-black.
Occasionally, a set of headlights would illuminate the road as it sped past the BMW.
He became impatient after wai
ting for a long time. He reviewed the document he received again.
“Tang Hao…”
His expression darkened when his gaze fell on the photo, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
That was the person who had exposed Zeng Yan’s intimate photos and made him feel like a cuckold.
He, Liu Yulong, had never suffered such humiliation before!
He would not be satisfied if he did not carry out his revenge!
If Tang Hao had gone after his woman, then he would return the favor and go after Tang Hao’s woman.
Originally, he wanted to carry out his revenge on Liu Bingyao, but after some investigations, he found out that Tang Hao lived together with a woman in Westridge. It was obvious that she was the real deal.
That would make her a better target.
He flipped through the document and took out a photo.
In the photo was a beautiful woman. Her face could launch a thousand ships, and she had an alluring and sexy body.
He stared at her for a while, trying hard to resist the primal urges in his lower abdomen.
Even he was tempted by that woman.
“This kid is lucky!” He muttered disdainfully.
Hearing that, the driver furrowed his brows and turned around. “Young master, isn’t this… inappropriate?”
“What nonsense! I’m just here to play with his woman! I won’t kill this kid, so nothing bad will happen. Besides, it’s no big deal even if I kill him, right?”
Liu Yulong sneered.
According to the document, Tang Hao was born in a mountain village. He had been a typical poor kid before he was eighteen. He suddenly made a name for himself and rose to fame. In less than two years, he established a huge group of companies.
That turning point must be related to Mao Mountain.
In other words, Tang Hao was not from Mao Mountain. He was perhaps an agent of Mao Mountain, specifically chosen to make money for the organization.
If that was the case, he was a mere outsider and no one important to Mao Mountain. Killing him was not a big deal. Moreover, Liu Yulong was only there to entertain himself with that woman.
The driver opened his mouth but did not say anything.
He knew his young master’s character the best. His young master would seek revenge for the smallest grievance and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Time passed by slowly.
Liu Yulong looked at his watch from time to time. He was getting impatient.
At almost eight o’clock, a red Ferrari sports car finally drove over from the other side of the road. It was very fast and neared them in an instant.
He looked carefully and saw that the driver was a seductive beauty.
When she passed by, she even turned her head and looked over curiously.
Obviously, it was unusual for a car to be parked on that remote road.
When the car drove past the BMW, Liu Yulong immediately sat up. He perked up and shouted to the driver, “Go! Follow that car!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The driver responded, started the car, and followed it.
In the car in front, Qin Xiangyi glanced at the rearview mirror and furrowed her brows when she saw two headlights light up not far behind.
‘Was that the car earlier?’
She immediately became alert.
As she drove along the road, the car continued to tail her from afar.
The unease in Qin Xiangyi’s heart grew stronger.
The road never had much traffic. Under such circumstances, it was hard for her not to suspect something.
Subconsciously, she grabbed her phone and called Tang Hao.
“Lil Tang, I think… I’m being followed!”
“What?” On the other end of the phone, Tang Hao jumped up, and his expression changed drastically. “Where are you now?”
“I’m almost reaching home. I’m not too sure if I’m really being followed. The car was originally parked by the roadside. As soon as I passed it, it started moving, and it’s still behind me,” Qin Xiangyi said.
“Hurry up and go home!” Tang Hao shouted.
He would rather be safe than sorry.
“Understood!”
“Don’t hang up. I’m on my way. I’ll be there in about half an hour.”
“OK!” Qin Xiangyi replied. She felt much more relieved.
She put her phone aside, stepped on the gas pedal, and sped toward Celestial Foothill Gardens.
In Provincial City, Tang Hao put his phone away. His expression was extremely gloomy.
From Qin Xiangyi’s description, it was very likely that the car was deliberately following her, but who could it be?
As he pondered that question, he ran downstairs and got into his car.
As soon as the engine started, the A8 dashed out of the basement parking lot like a wild horse. Once it exited the residential area, he activated the power of the jade talismans, and the car sped away.
Back in Westridge, the Ferrari drove past the entrance of Celestial Foothill Gardens. Qin Xiangyi turned around and saw that the car was not behind her.
Qin Xiangyi let out a sigh of relief. Then, she continued driving and arrived at the mansion.
She entered the house after parking the car. After closing the door, she lifted the curtains of all the windows and looked outside to observe any movement.
After looking around and seeing that there was no movement, she let out a sigh of relief.
‘It was just a false alarm!’ She thought to herself. She picked up her phone and prepared to tell Tang Hao that everything was fine.
However, she noticed something from the corner of her eye. Through the gap of the curtains, she saw two figures standing in the shadows outside the mansion.
It was an extremely unnerving scene. She let out a low cry and stepped away.
Then, she picked up her phone and said in a panic, “Someone’s here, Lil Tang. They’re standing outside the mansion. What should I do?”
“Stay there and don’t move. It’ll be fine!” Tang Hao comforted her.
Qin Xiangyi had the blood jade bead, a set of defensive Artifacts consisting of a pair of bracelets and a necklace. Mundane people would not be able to hurt her.
“Come back quickly. I’m scared!”
Qin Xiangyi’s face turned slightly pale.
Although she knew that she was protected by many Artifacts, she was, after all, a woman. It was inevitable that she would panic in such a situation.
Putting down her phone, she gathered her courage and moved closer to the window. She gently lifted the curtains and looked out.
The two figures were still standing there. They seemed to have noticed her gaze, and both of them looked in her direction.
She was shocked and quickly retreated.
“Lil Tang, hurry up and come back!”
She curled up in the corner of the room, clutched her phone, and muttered.
Chapter 651 - That’s An Artifact Formation
“This girl… is quite alert!”
Liu Yulong stood in the shadows, looked at the window, and sneered.
“Young master, if you want to make a move, then do it as soon as possible! It’ll be troublesome if the police come!” The middle-aged man said.
“What are you afraid of? The police are nothing!” Liu Yulong said disdainfully.
Then, he licked his lips, and his eyes flashed with a hint of perversion.
“This girl… I want to have a good time with her!”
He was unable to contain his excitement and took a step forward toward the mansion.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he felt an invisible force surging in from all directions and trapping him in place.
He felt as though he stepped into quicksand.
Before he could react, he flew three meters backward and landed heavily on the ground.
He was stunned.
“Young Master!” The middle-aged man turned pale with fright and rush
ed over to help him up.
Liu Yulong stood up, confused.
‘What’s going on?’
He turned his head and looked forward. There was nothing there!
“What the hell?”
He muttered and walked forward. This time, he walked into a wall. A translucent dome of light suddenly appeared in front of him and enveloped the entire mansion.
The light screen was faintly visible under the moonlight.
‘What… the hell?’
When Liu Yulong looked closely, his jaw dropped, and he was unable to speak a word.
He had never seen such a large defensive light shield.
Even the middle-aged man was shocked.
“F*ck, that kid must have gotten it from Mao Mountain!” Liu Yulong cursed angrily.
In his eyes, Mao Mountain was a big sect, so they must have a lot of treasures.
“What should we do, Young Master?” The middle-aged man asked.
“What do you mean, what should we do? Blast it open! How long do you think such a big shield can last? Just blast it a few times, and it will break apart!” Liu Yulong said.
Then, as if he remembered something, he said, “Go, get the talismans in the car.”
The middle-aged man replied affirmatively and left in a hurry. One minute later, he returned with a silver briefcase in his hand.
“Hmph! These are custom-made talismans by Dragon Tiger Mountain. Its power is limitless!”
Liu Yulong opened the box and saw stacks of paper talismans inside. He took a stack for himself and handed another stack to the middle-aged man.
“Throw! Throw it with all your might! Smash this tortoise shell!”
Liu Yulong waved his hand and said arrogantly.
“Are we really doing this?” The middle-aged man was trembling slightly as he held the stack of talismans.
Each stack was bought from Dragon Tiger Mountain for several million yuan.
That was literally throwing money away!
“Do as I say!” Liu Yulong reprimanded.
“Oh, alright, I’ll be throwing them!”
The middle-aged man picked up a paper talisman and threw it forward.
The talisman burned in the air and exploded into a fireball as it struck the light shield.
