Chapter 87: Displaying Power.
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi kissed each other under the gazes of many people who were visiting the Royal Garden. The entire sky above the garden was lit up with fireworks. Nobody in the city understood this, but it was happening. The couple embraced each other to enjoy the view. While the two of them had given up on the tense situation around them. The world was now paying attention to them.
...
Gao Yue sat on the couch glaring at Old Master Han. She had been raging for half a day and the living room had been turned into a war zone. The old lady had tore down every decoration she could with her strength. The paintings the antiques, she said, "Old Han, if you did not speak of what is going in that black skull of yours, I will set this fucking building on fire. Do you hear me?"
She was no longer yelling, her forehead was covered in sweat but her breathing was still stable. Old Man Han looked at her and he sighed, "Do you think I want to play villain in this situation? Lingshi is the apple of my eye, why would I not be happy if she can find someone who can make her act this way? But do not forget who we are.
At the age of thirty she would have to face the reality like all of us did. If her emotions changed, then she will be in a dreadful situation."
Gao Yue raised her brow and she calmed down, after some thought she said, "Old Man Han, be true to your heart and do what you can to make her happy, as for the rest, that would depend on her. Do not try to control her fate. It is against the heavenly law. If you and your son can remember that, everything will sort itself. You and Tang are not the master of red threads.
Learn your limits and if you messed with her again, I will not watch from the sideline."
If some outsider was to hear them talking he would figure out, that the Han Family was not simple. That was the truth, but only the elders knew about the truth and the youngsters would have to face the reality on their own when they grow up.
...
Inside the room of the First Master Han, Lady Yue was sitting before a dressing table and taking off her jewelry, while Han Tang, the first master was sitting on a couch with a cigarette between his fingers. He sighed and asked, "Do you think that she would be able to handle the truth when the time comes?"
Lady Yue replied, "After such a long day, I think you should have understood that your daughter is not weak. Also, my daughter would not be giving up on what she sets her heart upon once. As for what happens between her and Hao Ren, it is for them to handle. I will not stop her from living the present while fearing the future.
Do not meddle in the way of the heavens, or the current of time will destroy you."
That said, she stood up and went inside the shower room. The obscure conversations seemed to be meaningless, but this was the most well kept secret of the Han Family and none other than the core members of the Han Family knew about it.
...
At a remote location of the Han Nation, a young man was surrounded by many people, they were all catering to him, when suddenly a girl ran up to him and said, "Eden, Han Lingshi just proposed to some guy."
The smile on the young man's face vanished, and the air around him turned cold. He turned around to look at the girl with a questioning gaze, and the latter silently handed him the phone. Some people had been posting the video of fire crackers around the Royal Garden, and one of these posts was captioned, "Such a royal proposal."
The young man did not even zoom the picture and said, "I want to know about this man. Everything."
The young lady nodded, and Eden walked away from his spot. The people watched him leave and sighed in relief. These people were all military personnel and they had come over here to handle a task, Eden was their captain, and one of the most scary people they knew.
One of the big guys among the group turned to look at the girl and spoke coldly, "Fox, you are trying to stir up trouble again. You ought to be careful how you tread."
The girl smiled but did not say anything. It was true, she was stirring up trouble. However, who could stop her? She ignored everyone and moved behind Eden.
One of the guys said, "Although, I should not say, but I hope that the person they are about to face can beat some sense in their minds." Stay updated with m-v le-mpyr
Although they knew Eden was their team leader, but he was too cold and rude. Fox was the same, she did not care about anyone else but Eden, and the guys did not like her much.
...
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were inside the car, they were heading back home, when Xiao Mei said, "Boss, someone called Eden Dale is trying to peek into your information."
Hao Ren was now used to many people looking at him but Han Lingshi was shocked, as she asked, "Xiao Mei, what did you say the name of the person is?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Eden Dale."
Han Lingshi took a deep breath and said, "This guy is still at it."
Hao Ren looked at her and asked, "What is it? Another competitor?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "It is not a competition because I am not the trophy. However, he has been obsessed with me from the age of 16. We were in high school and he had a crush on me. I had rejected him then and there. Many people came to propose me but he blocked them. Now he is looking into you.
It sounds suspicious."
Hao Ren nodded and leaned back in the seat. When he stayed silent for ten minutes, Han Lingshi thought he was upset, and Hao Ren said, "Xiao Mei, hack in the system, I want to have a face to face with this guy, also tell me all about him while you are hacking."
Han Lingshi was shocked, and Xiao Mei chuckled, "Boss, finally some action again."
...
The couple found Hao Re's parents already waiting for them at home. Old Man Hao did not speak much, he only greeted the girl calmly. Hao Ren made his way to the study room and said, "Lingshi, come along."
Mrs. Hao asked curiously, "What is going on?"
Hao Ren replied, "It is some urgent business, we cannot delay."
Han Lingshi nodded and made up a lie for the old lady to sit down peacefully while they went around their work.
Hao Ren closed the door to the study and said, "I did not expect your on the toes thinking would be so good."
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes and the young man sat down in the chair. Xiao Mei said, "Initiating two-way connection."
...
Inside a truck, fifteen people were sitting when Eden Dale's communicator went off. He frowned and looked at the girl beside him who was also surprised. She looked at a tab in her hand and exclaimed, "It is from the Jade Capital, a civilian location."
The rest of the people were surprised and then a calm voice echoed from Eden Dale's communicator, "Greetings, Captain Dale, and the rest of the Tsunami Squad. Thank you for your hard work and service for the country. At the same time, I apologize for using this method to communicate with Captain Dale."
Eden Dale asked coldly, "Who are you? Do you know the punishment for doing this?"
Hao Ren replied, "I do, but I just don't care. Like I don't care about some mice who try to look into my life. I was surprised to see a dignified military officer looking into the life of a civilian like me. So, Captain Dale, I am here, you can ask me anything you want openly, no need to sniff around like a rat."
The people sucked in a deep breath, and Eden Dale, tightened his grip around a rifle in his hand. His face looked like he was ready to kill someone. He asked, "Are you the man who tricked Han Lingshi?"
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Lingshi, he thinks I tricked you. Hahahaha, how funny. Well, whether I tricked her or not should have nothing to do with you. I think you saw she proposed me? Well, since our families already know, let me inform you, Han Lingshi is my lawfully wedded wife.
If I see you snooping around anyone related to me, I will come for you, and this time it would be in person. I have sent a picture of my marriage certificate to the tab of your subordinate. Before you do anything, weight all your options properly. To save my family and keep my wife happy, I don't mind becoming the villain.
Well, have a good day."
The call was disconnected after this. Hao Ren did not wish to talk to this guy. He was well aware that his words will only stoke the flames even more. He wanted to see Eden Dale do something stupid.
