Urban God-level Youth

Li Bao turned and walked out.

With a smile, Du Hongfeng said to Qin Hao, "Young man, we have other matters to attend to. I've already paid the medical expenses, which should be enough until you're discharged."

Du Wanrou did not want to leave, but she was pulled away by Feng Yun.

Once Du Wanrou had left, he sighed. He could tell that Wanrou's parents didn't like him very much.

Even to say there was a bit of antipathy.

From their gazes and tone of voice, Qin Hao could feel it.

He couldn't figure out why. Could it be that they looked down on him? But he felt that wasn't quite right.

The way Du Hongfeng spoke and looked at him was with a sense of respect but also distance.

Qin Hao thought hard but couldn't understand what was going on. Just then, the door to the hospital room opened, and two police officers, one male and one female, walked in.

Furthermore, Qin Hao knew these two people—they were Liu Bo and Feng Xue.

It seemed the situation was serious, as the city's detectives had been directly involved.

Upon seeing Qin Hao, who looked like a mummy, Feng Xue said with a smile, "We've almost finished investigating the matter, but we still need you to make a statement."

Qin Hao recounted the whole incident in full detail.

Liu Bo and Feng Xue were taking notes; they had already recorded Du Wanrou and Lin Kang's statements, and now only his was left.

At first, they were somewhat incredulous that he alone had taken down so many people.

But now that the stories of all three practically matched without discrepancy, the way they looked at Qin Hao changed.

One man had taken down so many thugs armed with clubs—what kind of fighting ability was that? It was terrifying, right?

After Liu Bo and Feng Xue finished taking the statement, they said a few words of encouragement to him and then left.

Qin Hao said to the fat man, "Ask Li Bao to come in."

Kang Youyi went out and then came back in with Li Bao.

Looking at Qin Hao, Li Bao said, "I'm sorry, Hao."

Qin Hao responded with a smile, "I know you think it's unjust for me, but some things are beyond fairness or unfairness. It's enough that I like her."

Li Bao was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized, was it because Hao liked that girl?

But to be honest, that girl really was not bad—pretty and a nice person. At the very least, she genuinely cared for Qin Hao.

It was just her parents that Li Bao found somewhat annoying.

Qin Hao continued, "Have you found out what happened? Who were those people?"

Li Bao: "Those were Wang Dajun's men from Changle District. He has a lot of guys under him, but now more than half of them have been taken down.

Hao, don't worry about this anymore. I'm going to let Wang Dajun know the consequences of messing with you."

After he finished, a fierce light flashed through Li Bao's eyes.

Now, Qin Hao's place in his heart was almost as important as his own mother.

The debt of saving his mother was unforgettable in this lifetime.

When Qin Hao heard Li Bao's words, his brow furrowed slightly, "What do you plan to do?"

Li Bao: "Hao, you don't need to worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you,"

He couldn't tell Qin Hao, because knowing too much about such matters was not good for him and might even get him involved.

"Don't act recklessly with this. The police are definitely watching him now, and if you make a move at this time, you should know the consequences."

Li Bao nodded, "I know, Hao. Just leave it to me."

Meanwhile, Du Wanrou followed her parents back home.

Throughout the journey, neither Du Hongfeng nor Feng Yun spoke. Du Wanrou wanted to say something but, seeing her parents' expressions, she held back.

Once at home, Du Hongfeng said to his daughter, "Xiao Rou, try to go out less unless necessary, and everything will be fine once this matter is resolved."

```

Du Wanrou: "Dad, you're not usually like this. Qin Hao saved me. If not for him, I would be the one lying in the hospital bed."

Du Hongfeng looked at his daughter: "I'm truly grateful that he saved you, and I do think we should cover the medical expenses.

If he wants any kind of reward, he can name his price, and as long as it's not too outrageous, I can give it to him.

But if he harbors any illusions about you, then I will never agree."

The last sentence was what he really wanted to say.

Du Wanrou was puzzled, knowing her father to be a man of integrity.

He had built the company into a substantial one, without ever engaging in any vices, and he loved his family deeply. She often took pride in having a father like him.

But what her father just said confused her.

In her eyes, her father was someone who would never do or say such a thing.

"Why, Dad?" Du Wanrou asked.

Du Hongfeng sighed and said, "Do you really know who Luo Hao is, my daughter?

Do you know who the man was that spoke to me in the hospital room?

He's Li Bao, a notorious thug from Changle District, known to have many minions and a fearsome reputation.

The people who attacked you today are minions of Wang Dajun, and Li Bao and Wang Dajun are cut from the same cloth.

You must have heard what Li Bao called Qin Hao. He called him Brother Hao, what does that tell you?

It means that he is in cahoots with Li Bao, he's the big boss behind Li Bao.

He, Li Bao, Wang Dajun, and others like them, are parasites and scum of society."

Du Hongfeng had always hated such people in his life.

Having hands and feet and not working hard to earn money and support a family, instead choosing to degenerate into societal pests.

He would never allow his daughter to be with someone like that, even if he saved her.

Du Hongfeng had conducted himself with honor all his life, never causing harm or injustice.

He had no contact whatsoever with those societal parasites.

In his many years of fighting in the business world, he relied on his intelligence and integrity, never resorting to any unfair methods.

In the business world, there were many businessmen who used shady tactics.

But there were also many who relied on their own hard work and intelligence.

...

After hearing her father's words, Du Wanrou was stunned; she could hardly believe it.

But thinking over her father's words, as well as Li Bao and the six or seven strong young men outside the hospital room.

Du Wanrou realized it all must be true.

It pained her heart. Could Qin Hao really be involved with those hoodlums?

Seeing the look on his daughter's face, Du Hongfeng knew what she was thinking.

He sighed and said: "Xiao Rou, you are the apple of Daddy's eye, how could I bear to see you hurt?

I'd rather be the one who's hurt than you. I was terrified when I received your call today, fearing you might have had an accident.

If anything were to happen to you, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."

Du Wanrou's eyes were red with tears: "Dad, this isn't your fault. Those people are just too wicked."

Du Hongfeng's eyes also became moist: "My dear daughter, don't go out for the next few days. Let the police take care of those scum first, then you can go out and have fun.

At that point, I will hire a few bodyguards for you. Mr. Lin is skilled, but after all, one man can't fight off many."

"Mm, I understand, Dad," Du Wanrou obediently replied.

Du Hongfeng turned to Feng Yun and said: "Wife, stay home with our daughter. I have to go take care of some business."
