「The next day.」
Chu Hao arrived at the same quad courtyard as last time. Outside, an array of vehicles was parked—mostly top-tier configured SUVs, a testament to the Su Family's wealth and power. A number of people clad in outdoor gear were busy arranging their equipment for the trip. Upon seeing Chu Hao, everyone acted as if they hadn't seen him and kept their heads down, working.
Walking into the courtyard, Su Qingqi approached with a smile. "Master Chu."
Chu Hao asked, "How many people are going this time?"
Su Qingqi didn't hide anything. "Five teams in total. Including you, that makes seventeen people."
Chu Hao nodded.
Su Qingqi, who held considerable respect for Chu Hao, asked, "We're headed deep into the jungles of the Southern Region. Are you sure you don't need to prepare anything?"
Chu Hao waved his hand. "No need."
Su Qingqi nodded and returned to her tasks.
