King of Assassins-Chapter 738 - 547 Panic

Zhao Hu had a big bald head, a face full of fierce-looking muscles, and stood over six feet tall with colorful tattoos on his neck and arms.

Even though he was wearing sportswear, he didn't look like a good person no matter how you looked at him.

The few big guys following behind Zhao Hu had a similar style, standing there with fierce expressions, looking intimidating.

Zhao Hu came running over and spoke up, causing the group of students playing basketball with Gao Xuan to become a bit fearful. They all looked at Zhao Hu, not daring to make a sound.

Gao Xuan glanced at Zhao Hu and said, "Not interested."

As he said this, he tossed the basketball to a student nearby and turned to walk away.

Zhao Hu didn't expect Gao Xuan to just walk off like that, so he gave a signal, and two of his men ran over to block Gao Xuan's way.

Zhao Hu walked over slowly, "What are you afraid of? Let's be friends. We all love playing basketball, nothing else."

He tried to put his arm around Gao Xuan's shoulder, but Gao Xuan took a step back to avoid him, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't stand so close. Do you know how annoying you are?"

Zhao Hu's face turned a bit sour. If Su Yu hadn't told him to be cautious, he would've flipped out long ago.

He forced a smile, "I just saw you playing well, don't be nervous, we're not bad people."

Gao Xuan whispered in Zhao Hu's ear, "You're really not afraid of death, daring to tread any murky water. Do you know who I am?

"If you touch me today, you won't have a place to stand in An Province tomorrow. While I'm still not angry, get lost as far as you can."

The smile on Zhao Hu's face froze instantly. Gao Xuan could see he was a street guy, which was easy. It was just a bit uncanny that Gao Xuan knew why he was there.

And this kid actually dared to threaten him!

Zhao Hu had been on the streets since he was young, even in and out of jail a few times. Although he wouldn't dare to kill, he's done quite a few other bad things.

In the underworld, he was known for being tough and daring, slowly making his way up.

Many had said harsh words to him, but none had ever climbed over him.

But with one sentence from Gao Xuan, he felt intimidated. The young man opposite him looked ordinary, spoke gently, yet had an indescribable ferocity.

Zhao Hu had met a habitual killer in jail; the aura Gao Xuan displayed now was very similar to that guy. Just more ferocious and cold-blooded.

He wanted to say something harsh, but his mouth went dry, and in the end, he didn't dare utter a word.

After Gao Xuan said all this, he turned and walked away, while Zhao Hu watched his back with a somber expression, eventually just waving his hand and leaving with his two men.

When Gao Xuan returned to the dormitory, the day's events made him feel a bit more urgent.

Coming into this world, he initially thought it was going to be a life of ordinary flow, then it turned into a domineering female CEO flow, and now it seemed like he'd become a son-in-law War God flow...

You really couldn't get by without some skills.

Gao Xuan initially just wanted to muddle through life. Being a son-in-law wasn't a bad option. Now, with everyone seeking rich women to support them, with Su Rong's looks, physique, and aura, what more could he say but work his ass off!

Looking at it now, even relying on soft food isn't easy. This position is a bit too competitive. Moreover, the other side is playing dirty.

Gao Xuan couldn't help but want to sigh, couldn't they let him have a peaceful vacation?

This time he managed to scare off a few street guys with bravado, but next time they come, it won't be so easy.

Of course, no matter how many people they have, they can't do anything to him. However, once he acts, it'll be hard to wrap things up.

Once he takes action, it's like voluntarily jumping into the mud pit. No matter how reasonable he is, it will become entangled and unclear.

For him, he should try to avoid such troubles as much as possible.

Gao Xuan was someone with great knowledge and experience; he hadn't done anything while being lazy these past two days. Once he realized his personal safety was threatened, he became spirited.

Those guys on the opposite side, he didn't know what background they had, but they were just ordinary street thugs. They wouldn't have much power. They wouldn't dare commit murder or arson.

Coming to find him in broad daylight, in front of so many people, clearly they wanted to stir up trouble.

If trouble breaks out, aside from other things, explaining the matter to the school would be difficult.

The school's top priority is stability. If Gao Xuan keeps causing trouble, getting rid of him would be the simplest solution. It would also make sense.

Although a teacher's salary isn't high, they are supposed to be the gardeners of educating people, holding a status somewhat akin to civil servants, with a reputation even better than doctors. From a societal standpoint, it's a very desirable profession.

His background and education were what allowed Gao Yun to dare introduce him to Su Rong, mainly because he had the identity of a teacher.

After analyzing the situation, Gao Xuan immediately understood what the other party intended. They just wanted to ruin his reputation, ideally getting him expelled from the school.

No matter the reason, Su Rong wouldn't continue a relationship with someone who was infamous.

The root cause lies with Su Rong.

Gao Xuan picked up the phone and took the initiative to contact Su Rong, "Beauty, are you free tonight? Let me treat you to some supper."

Su Rong was a bit surprised; she didn't expect Gao Xuan to have the courage to invite her out for supper. Although she'd been busy all day and was very tired, considering the urgency and Gao Xuan's initiative, she didn't feel right rejecting him.

After all, he's her top candidate. Meeting more often could also deepen their connection.

"Sure, where should we go for supper?"

"Come to our school's entrance, there's a porridge shop here that's not bad."

Gao Xuan waited at the spot for another twenty minutes before seeing a nanny van stop at the entrance.

The automatic door opened, and Su Rong, in a T-shirt and jeans, jumped out. She sat opposite Gao Xuan and said, "Don't you men love skewers the most? Yet you're eating porridge?"

"Eating skewers late at night isn't healthy, porridge is light and easy to digest."

Gao Xuan said, "I just ordered a few small dishes, just have a bit. Mainly I wanted to see you."

"Hmm, haha..."

Su Rong chuckled softly, surprised at Gao Xuan's audacity, now even daring to say sweet words.

This surprised her once again. Although she acted very approachable, Gao Xuan, being such a grown man, should know the vast gap between them.

To be able to sit across from her and calmly express that he missed her, that was truly not easy.

It was the courage and boldness that she appreciated.

For a man, being decisive and generous is essential. Being poor or ugly is secondary; key is to have a masculine spirit.

"Why did you want to see me?" Su Rong asked with a smile.

For her, Gao Xuan was entirely a common friend, so she felt no need to be reserved in their conversation.

"You're such a beautiful woman, just seeing you is rewarding enough."

Gao Xuan was also a bit of a flirt; although he relied mostly on his looks, handling basic flirtation was still within his capability.

"Is that all?" Su Rong replied.

Gao Xuan said seriously, "Actually, I do have something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Su Rong was a bit puzzled, wondering what matter Gao Xuan could have with her.

"It's like this. I want to know how many competitors I have."

Gao Xuan said, "A fair maiden is a gentleman's true desire. I'm not afraid of competition. But I oppose malicious competition."

"What happened?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Rong was very clever; she knew something was up as soon as she heard it.

"It's like this. Today, some gangsters came wanting to teach me a lesson."

Gao Xuan said, "I have a simple social life and spend most of my time at school. Any trouble that suddenly pops up must be connected to a competitor..."

Su Rong's expression changed slightly, "Such a thing!"

She gently said to Gao Xuan, "Don't worry, I will definitely look into this. I won't let you be wronged."

"No need to be so serious, it's just a small matter."

Gao Xuan said, "I just want to express my stance on fair competition."

He picked up a small bowl and scooped some preserved egg and lean meat porridge for Su Rong, "Have some porridge first, it tastes quite good."

Su Rong took a sip of the porridge and said thoughtfully, "I'm really glad you told me about this. If I didn't know, who knows what kind of trouble it would have caused."

Su Rong was indeed a bit angry. Though she had chosen several candidates, these people had no contact with each other.

If someone was troubling Gao Xuan, it must either be someone around her or someone tailing her.

The essence of this was not a problem for Gao Xuan, but rather someone trying to control her!

This was something Su Rong absolutely could not tolerate.

Su Rong chatted with Gao Xuan for over half an hour before leaving in a car. This time, Su Yu did not accompany her. Only the driver, Xu Jun, was there.

Su Rong said to Xu Jun, "Brother Xu, go look into where these people came from and who they've been in contact with recently..."

Gao Xuan had used his phone to take photos of them, clearly capturing their appearances. With the photos, finding them would be too easy.

Xu Jun was someone sent to her by Elder Su, very capable, and most importantly, extremely trustworthy.

For someone with power, investigating a person is not difficult at all. It includes phone communications, various software contacts, etc. If there's a need, it can all be uncovered.

By the afternoon of the next day, Xu Jun had already figured out Zhao Hu's background and his relationship with Su Yu.

Naturally, Su Rong was furious about this. Su Yu had been with her for nearly ten years, and she always considered Su Yu a close associate. She hadn't expected Su Yu to be so bold.

Su Rong summoned Su Yu for questioning, and faced with all the evidence, Su Yu couldn't say a word.

She could only plead with Su Rong, "Miss, I've been with you for ten years, I have no ill intentions. I just think that Gao Xuan is unreliable, not a good match. That's why I resorted to this last resort."

"You're still lying at this point."

Su Rong was even more infuriated, "You and Wang Yuanfeng are relatives, did you think I wouldn't find out!"

Su Yu didn't dare to argue anymore. She knew Su Rong's temper; if she truly angered her, she would be in a very sorry state.

She could only beg, "Miss, give me a chance, I won't dare again."

"The company has a branch in Vietnam. You can go there. And don't come back."

Su Rong said coldly, "You don't have to go, it's your choice."

Su Yu wore a bitter expression; Su Rong was so ruthless to directly assign her there.

Of course, she could choose not to go, but she had signed strict non-disclosure agreements and non-compete agreements with the company.

If she really broke ties with the company, just going through the legal process would exhaust her financially and mentally. In the end, the little assets she had saved might all be depleted.

Su Yu after thinking for a moment said, "Let me think about it for two days, okay."

"Up to you."

Su Rong said, "Remember, the consequences of speaking recklessly are more than you can bear."

After dispatching Su Yu, Su Rong called someone very influential.

That evening, Anyang District carried out a surprise raid on several entertainment venues.

A large amount of contraband drugs, firearms, and serious issues related to pornography and gambling were seized on the spot.

Zhao Hu and other gang members were all arrested. As an important leader, Zhao Hu wouldn't come out alive this time even if he survived.

In this regard, the An Province evening newspaper even did a special report, highly praising the public security efforts.

Gao Xuan didn't have a habit of reading the evening paper. But the sweep of Zhao Hu's gang was quite impactful locally.

There was a lot of talk even in school. After all, in this age, such gangs were not common.

Gao Xuan heard the news from others and specially bought an evening paper. There, he saw a photo of Zhao Hu in the newspaper.

He marveled inwardly at how money and power could so easily crush an enemy.

In such a social environment, dabbling in the gray area was not easy to do.

That evening, Su Rong again invited Gao Xuan out for a late-night snack. At the same porridge shop, at the same table, Su Rong handed Gao Xuan a copy of the evening paper.

Her fair finger pointed at Zhao Hu's photo on the newspaper, "This guy has confessed and been sentenced, your trouble is resolved."

"Impressive, impressive, a true heroine."

Gao Xuan also thought Su Rong was very efficient, solving the problem cleanly and swiftly within two days.

"Just a trivial matter."

Su Rong waved her hand dismissively, "These guys dared to call themselves the Dragon Tiger Society, trying to stir things up in An Province, they were just courting death."

Gao Xuan reminded her, "I saw in the report that the main culprit, Zhang Long, is on the run. You should also be cautious."

"A fish that escaped the net would have long fled in panic by now, without the courage to find me. Besides, he doesn't even know it was me."

Su Rong raised an eyebrow at Gao Xuan with some pride, "I never leave my name when doing good deeds."

Just as she finished speaking, a fierce-looking man stormed in at the door, brandishing a gun and shouting at Su Rong, "You bitch, die!"

Su Rong's face went instantly pale, her eyes filled with panic and terror. She had been pampered all her life and had never faced such a situation before, causing her to become extremely flustered.

(Wishing everyone a joyful New Year~ All the best~)
