"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three muffled sounds came in quick succession, followed by a deadly silence in the cabin. It was so quiet that it was frightening. At this moment, everyone in the cabin truly understood what it meant to hear a pin drop and absolute silence!
But then, the cabin erupted in cheers and applause. Seeing the excitement, you'd think the national football team had made it through the qualifiers!
Hearing the cheers, Cheng Siyu opened her eyes in confusion. When she saw the three hijackers all lying on the ground, their fate unknown, and Yun Hao was talking to Romance nearby, she was completely stunned because everything seemed so unreal!
Could it be that Yun Hao was the one who took down these three armed criminals? That's just not scientific!
After confirming with her companions that it was indeed Yun Hao who slapped down three hijackers, Cheng Siyu still had a hard time believing it. She couldn't help but take a closer look at the man in dung-colored clothing who had bullied her before!
About 1.8 meters tall, looking like he barely weighed 130 pounds, with some dust on his clothes, a harmless baby face!
Yun Hao couldn't care less about what Cheng Siyu thought of him. After simply negotiating a deal with Romance, he returned to his seat!
As for the deal with Romance, it was to let her handle the subsequent complications. After all, she was somewhat responsible for the incident, and Yun Hao could tell that this woman had a complex background. He saved her life, so why not take advantage of it!
After arriving in Nanjiang City, Yun Hao left alone and casually threw a handful of pieces of paper into a nearby trash bin. What were those pieces of paper?
Of course, they were the contact numbers secretly handed to Yun Hao by the flight attendants after witnessing his bravery!
Leaving the airport, Yun Hao hailed a taxi, said "Civil Affairs Bureau," and made a phone call to Liu Mengqi.
"Hey, Kiki, I've arrived in Nanjiang City and am about to head to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Have you missed me?"
"What? You say you haven't missed me? How is that possible? You're just not being honest. Our relationship is unique. You can just tell me you missed me; I wouldn't laugh at you. Besides, it's natural to miss a handsome guy like me!"
After Yun Hao prattled on for about ten minutes, Liu Mengqi's calm voice floated through the phone.
"Stop cozying up to me. You're not getting more money; ten thousand Xia Coins is already quite a lot. Don't you know a lot of people don't even make that much in a year? Anyway, that's your budget for the month. If it's not enough, you'll have to starve or ask your soon-to-be wife!"
Leaving him with these words, Liu Mengqi hung up, leaving Yun Hao with a bitter face.
It's utterly unreasonable—no, downright barbaric!
Over the years, Yun Hao had earned nearly eighty million US dollars, if not a full hundred million. And now, returning home to get married, he's only given ten thousand Xia Coins!
Of course, Yun Hao knew his earnings were being saved by Liu Mengqi!
Left with no other choice, Yun Hao looked out the car window. He had to admit, Nanjiang City's transformation over the past decade was impressive, completely different from his memories!
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Yun Hao, Romance had already instructed her subordinates to start investigating him. His actions had been truly astonishing!
In the blink of an eye, he took down three armed hijackers, each capable of defeating her Guardian, who had won third place in the Nanjiang City military zone's fighting championship!
Romance, having heard of Yun Hao's deeds, wasn't scheming anything sinister; she simply wanted to bring him into her fold for better personal security!
An hour later, the car stopped in front of a flower shop across from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Yun Hao spent five hundred bucks on a bouquet of roses, and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau!
Though there were still over thirty minutes until the afternoon work hours, that didn't dampen the enthusiasm for marriage registration. Watching the dozen young couples lined up ahead, Yun Hao took out his phone and dialed his never-before-seen fiancée's number given by Liu Mengqi!
"Hello, who is this?"
The call connected, and a deep male voice greeted him.
This threw Yun Hao off, prompting another glance at the number. Yes, it was indeed the number Liu Mengqi had given him!
"Hello, I'm looking for Chu Yan."
After a brief hesitation, Yun Hao mentioned the name of his unseen fiancée.
"Oh, you're looking for Xiaoyan? She's in the shower right now. What do you need? I can relay a message for you!"
The man's voice sounded again, seemingly quite familiar with Chu Yan!
"Oh, no need. Just ask her to call me back later, the person her father mentioned."
Yun Hao politely refused and hung up.
Chu Yan was in the shower. A stranger's voice on the phone, a young man, by the sound of it!
Hmm, he remembered Liu Mengqi mentioned Chu Yan had a younger brother. This must be him!
Finding himself a plausible reason, Yun Hao quickly put aside the concern, even though he'd distinctly heard "Xiaoyan" in the greeting!
Which man wouldn't feel uncomfortable, knowing a stranger answered his fiancée's call, speaking so intimately!
Even if he hadn't met his fiancée yet!
Why bother with too much? As long as she can be a good wife after the wedding, that's enough. Besides, the guy might just be a friend!
Yun Hao shook his head, got a number, and sat with his roses to wait alone!
But the wait lasted an hour, and it wasn't until later that Chu Yan called Yun Hao.
When Yun Hao said he was the one her father, Chu Tianxiang, mentioned and was at the Civil Affairs Bureau waiting for her, he could sense a clear pause from Chu Yan before she replied, "Oh," and then hung up.
Yun Hao stared at his phone for a couple of seconds and then gave a silent chuckle. It seemed his fiancée wasn't eager to marry him. On second thought, who would want to marry someone they've never even met?
