Zhu Qingliu's words had just finished when a young man beside him stepped forward and shoved Zhang Qian. She staggered, and if Xu Hao hadn't been behind her to catch her, she would have fallen.

Xu Hao hadn't planned to get involved, but this Zhu Qingliu, flaunting his wealth, was trying to show off and coerce a widow and her orphaned daughter, even wanting to take advantage of them. That was going too far!

Xu Hao steadied Zhang Qian and said indifferently toward Zhu Qingliu, "Boss Zhu, what you're doing is inhumane! Chasing people out so late at night, what are you trying to provoke? Don't you have a wife and children? What if something happens to them!"

Zhu Qingliu glanced at Xu Hao with a contemptuous smirk, "Who are you? Daring to meddle in Zhu Qingliu's affairs, are you crazy? Get lost immediately, or you're asking for trouble!"

Xu Hao shook his head helplessly, another one not afraid to die!

Liu Shan had just dealt with Zhou Cheng, and now Zhu Qingliu was looking for death?

However, Xu Hao surely could blow them away with a single punch, but just using fists wouldn't solve the real problem.

Besides, all problems that money can solve are not problems. Zhu Qingliu was kicking Guo Lan out over rent, so since Xu Hao wasn't short on cash, he might as well just buy this place.

"Boss Zhu, don't be so hot-tempered, it's bad for your health! Look, you just want higher rent for this house, right? How much for this entire complex? Name your price, I'll buy it!" Hearing Xu Hao's words, Zhu Qingliu's body stiffened, and he stretched his neck out long.

After exchanging glances with two young men beside him and twirling a lighter in his hand, he scoffed, "You're buying? Do you know how much this house costs? With your poor look, you want to buy my house? Keep dreaming!"

Xu Hao might have driven an Aston Martin, but his outfit was quite ordinary: a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. The total cost of his clothes was less than 500 yuan, appearing as ordinary as could be, even his T-shirt was cheap online street market fare.

Xu Hao smiled faintly, "Boss Zhu, be direct, just tell me if you're selling, give me a price!"

Zhu Qingliu's eyes flickered with a sly smile, "Really buying? Cough cough, alright, give me 800,000, and the house is yours."

Xu Hao snapped his fingers in the air, "Ok, give me your account number, I'll transfer the money right now."

His confidence seemed to daze Zhu Qingliu, who gave Xu Hao an account number with a mixture of belief and doubt. Xu Hao took out his phone and began to operate...

Ding!

As Zhu Qingliu stared at the text message confirming the 800,000 yuan deposit, he was stunned.

Dammit!

He actually transferred 800,000 yuan?

Damn, this house was just a decrepit property left by Zhu Qingliu's father. Located in a remote area and not expecting a demolition anytime soon, it was worth about 500,000 yuan on the market.

Zhu Qingliu had simply thrown out the price of 800,000 yuan on a whim, never expecting Xu Hao to actually pay it.

Bugger, knowing Xu Hao was this rich, he should have asked for more! Chapter source: My Virtual Library Empire (*).

What was Xu Hao thinking? Without signing a contract, he just gave away the money; was he not worried about being denied the deal?

Zhang Qian and Guo Lan watched Xu Hao's action with astonishment. Zhang Qian knew that Xu Hao had invested in Liu Corporation, and while he had money, he wasn't one to waste it like this.

As for Guo Lan, she didn't know Xu Hao was rich, "Young man, you shouldn't transfer money like this, it could cause problems..."

Guo Lan wanted to warn Xu Hao, but Zhang Qian stretched out a hand to pat her shoulder, signaling her to be at ease. Zhang Qian had seen Xu Hao's methods firsthand – weren't those jumping clowns in the company originally mighty? And yet, weren't they played by Xu Hao like a fiddle?

Liu Tianxiong, Wu Zhongcai, and others were eager to serve as his underlings. Xu Hao's background would not be simple, and dealing with Zhu Qingliu would he be afraid?

"Alright, I've transferred the 800,000 yuan to you! Do you have any objections now?" Xu Hao looked at Zhu Qingliu, his tone light.

Zhu Qingliu's lips moved, about to speak when a lackey whispered in his ear, "Boss, the guy transferred the money without any proof. You could refuse to acknowledge it!"

Reminded of this, Zhu Qingliu's eyes rolled twice, thinking, that's right, the bank card wasn't even his. It was completely worth it to dupe Xu Hao and make a clean 800,000 yuan. With his big brother backing him up, what was there to fear?

Upon this realization, Zhu Qingliu spread his hands, feigning shock, "800,000 yuan? What 800,000 yuan? Did anyone just transfer money to me? Xu Hao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't be reckless with your words. If you lie like this, I'll sue you for defamation."

Guo Lan had just witnessed Xu Hao transferring 800,000 yuan to Zhu Qingliu, and now he was denying it? She was trembling with anger, "Boss Zhu, how could you do this?"

Guo Lan looked at Xu Hao with a face full of guilt; after all, Xu Hao was considering buying the house just to stand up for her. To Xu Hao, 800,000 yuan might not be much, but to Guo Lan, it already felt like an enormous sum.

"Boss Zhu, speaking like this is no fun, right?" Xu Hao kicked a pebble on the ground with the tip of his shoe, "I'm busy tomorrow, so I can't accompany you for the property transfer. You go to Wu Corporation and find Wu Zhongcai or his son Wu Yu. Let them assist you with the transfer, and tell them that I, Xu Hao, sent you..."

Hearing Xu Hao mention Wu Zhongcai, Zhu Qingliu's facial muscles twitched, "Blowing your trumpet too loud, kid! Wu Zhongcai is the boss of Wu Corporation, and you're telling me he would know you?"
