Chapter 62: Trouble, Trouble, Trouble.
Hao Ren was sitting in the back of the car with Heath driving the vehicle. This car had a glass shield that could be raised to ensure sound proofing. He did not like to use it but now that he was traveling with Heath, and talking to Xiao Mei, he had no other options. He did not want this guy to find out that he had a powerful tool in his hands.
After Xiao Mei received the command, she got to work and ten minutes later she said, "Boss, this guy is not as simple and suave as he seems to be on the surface. He has another identity, a free lancer in the dark world called the Golden Emissary."
Hao Ren raised his brow and asked, "Oh, what is this guy doing here?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Boss, actually the hit placed on Miss Han can be back tracked to four months. The red banner hired Golden Emissary to conduct a survey on Miss Han's surroundings and security detail. This guy did his work seamlessly and provided them the reckon data. That was why they were able to get close to follow Miss Han."
Hao Ren furrowed his brow and asked, "Is this guy still on the case? Since he finished his job, then why is he here?"
Xiao Mei replied, "If only it was that easy to get rid of the bugs under the skin, this guy has been reinstated by the red banner to find the traces of the expert who helped Han Lingshi take down their team. At the same time, Golden Emissary had been watching Han Yuntian and Han Ming. However, recently, there has been something odd."
Hao Ren asked indifferently, "What is that?"
Xiao Mei replied, "He has been seen chatting with Miss Han Lingxue and is trying to get close to Mistress."
Hao Ren's eyes turned cold and he asked, "So, it seems he has some personal intentions."
*Ding: It is detected that a frog is making advances towards the swan, Host, fry the frog and feed it to the birds.*
Xiao Mei asked, "What shall be done with him?"
Hao Ren thought for a bit and then said, "Lure him."
Xiao Mei was confused and asked, "Boss, stop being so vague. I am anxious."
Hao Ren chuckled and replied, "Fine..."
He told her the entire plan, and when he was done, Xiao Mei said, "Boss, you are a genius."
...
The car was headed home, Hao Ren had left the production of the home-bot to the relative departments, he was going to prepare poisons and other stuff to deal with the so called golden emissary. He also was pissed of at the Red Banner, since they did not appreciate, they all can die.
He prepared the poison quickly and let the potion thicken on a sim flame. Hao Ren came to the study room and turned on his computer. These days, he had been learning about various computer programming skills, and his impeccable memory combined with the heightened intelligence, it took some effort but now he was capable of programming.
Hao Ren began to make his move, first he located all the agents and members and even the middlemen who negotiated with the Red Banner, and then passed the information to the world security agencies. His message was clear, 'If you did not put an end to these bastards within twenty four hours, then I will leak all the under cover spy details to the world.'
To make sure that they understood how he wasn't bluffing, he sent them all a copy. The chaos in the western world was too sudden and they were all worried. The shadows were shaken, and the sudden stalemate was pushed into a do or die situation.
The big shots were baffled by the fact that someone could acquire the top secret locations of the Mercenary teams, and not only that, they even found the details of the intelligence agents. If the other nations got this information, it would be a mess.
Since, they were not given much time, they had to give out the kill order. The entire Red Banner was put on hit list and the entire world moved against them.
...
Hao Ren finished setting up the first trap, then Xiao Mei said, "Boss, the Ye family contacted the city mayor for the big splash, should I proceed with your instructions?"
Hao Ren replied in positive and the dirty laundry that the city mayor and the Ye family had was first sent to various government officials. They issued quick investigation. It would take them twenty four hours to verify the evidence, and this was also the time Han Lingshi needed to buy the shares of Magnificent Cosmetics.
...
It was post evening, Hao Ren was driving his own car and going to pick up Han Lingshi. He wanted to take her out for a dinner, and she had agreed to him. If someone asked her, she had reasons to cover it up. Plus, isn't her family urging her to get married? It was the right time to put on a little play.
Hao Ren had another reason to do this, he wanted to show her the true face of the blonde chef and ask her to use Xiao Mei to screen all the people in the company. This will play a big role in threat prevention.
As the car reached the company entrance, Hao Ren spotted Han Lingshi waiting for him. He did not expect the lady to come over in advance. He parked the car, got out and asked her, "How long have you been standing?"
Han Lingshi smiled and replied, "Ten minutes."
Hao Ren nodded and gently led her in the vehicle. Han Lingshi asked, "Where are you taking me? I am telling you, President Hao, I won't be satisfied by a barbeque stall."
The young man smiled and replied, "It is our first official date, so I would rather not take you to a barbeque. I found that there is a new restaurant in the entertainment zone of the city."
Han Lingshi nodded and asked, "Do you have a gift for me?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "There are two gifts for you. Here is the first one."
Han Lingshi looked at him in confusion before the digital display on the car entertainment cluster lit up. She was surprised and then she saw the information which shocked her. Han Lingshi asked, "How..."
Hao Ren replied, "They planned ahead, now do you understand why I say that a deep check is needed?"
The lady nodded, and Hao Ren said, "I know that you don't want Xiao Mei to have too much interference in the company operations, but can you at least let her deep check the people in the company, if someone is there with hidden intentions, that will become clear, and even if you do not take an action abruptly, you can still be prepared in case there is an attack."
Han Lingshi leaned back in the seat but she did not reply instantly. Hao Ren did not push her either. He respected her wishes. After a few minutes, Han Lingshi replied, "Okay, but arrange it so that other people do not find out about her."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Don't worry."
Han Lingshi agreed and soon they come to the front of a bustling restaurant. The valet was surprised to see a hyper car, but he still stepped forward, and Hao Ren nodded to him with a smile. He wasn't worried if the guy will crash his car. Xiao Mei had been uploaded to the car computer and she could assist the guy in his time of need.
Hao Ren came beside Han Lingshi, and extended his arm before her. Han Lingshi gave him a dazzling smile before she put her hand on his as they walked up to the small attending counter set up outside.
The attendant was surprised to see the golden couple and then she quickly smiled and asked, "Good evening, Sir, Ma'am, welcome to the Gourmet House."
Hao Ren nodded to her and said, "I have reserved a roof top table, under the name of Hao Ren."
The lady quickly checked the register and led them inside. The place was grand, and Han Lingshi nodded at the decorations. They got into an elevator that took them five floors up and bought them to the roof of the building. The place was like an oasis surrounded by the tall trees from glass and steel.
There were only four tables in the top of the terrace. There were two couples sitting on the rooftop tables. Although, Hao Ren and Han Lingshi did not mind them, the people belonged to the higher circle of the society and they were shocked to see, Han Lingshi coming on a date with a young man.
Hao Ren noticed this, but did not say anything when he saw Han Lingshi not reacting to them. They sat down on the table and the lady said, "Sir, please wait a moment, there will be a waiter attending to you soon."
Hao Ren nodded and after the lady moved away, a young man quickly came to their side. He introduced the couple with the dishes and left after confirming the order. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi began to converse in low voices and the latter often smiled. The food was served and as they began to eat, the two of them had a bitter expression on their faces.
The food did not hold up to the hype of this place. Just when they were discussing if they should go home and let Hao Ren cook for them, Hao Ren saw a young man with a glasses walk over to them. Han Lingshi followed his gaze and said, "Leonard Hamil, the young master of the Hamil family."
Hao Ren raised his brow and said, "I wonder if he is here for a face-off, or is he here to thank me."
Han Lingshi whispered, "He could also be here for me, you know."
Hao Ren looked in her eyes with a smirk on his face. He said, "If he dared, then he might not walk away on his own legs."
