449 Get Ready to Act

“Alright, Second Brother. It seems like I’ve been overthinking it.” Chu Ning nodded.

Since Chu Jing had said this, she had no need to worry.

Although she had solved the current hidden danger, Zhou Hao would definitely make a follow-up move, so she had to be careful.

“Is there anything else you need my help with?” Chu Jing continued.

!!

“There’s nothing else.” Chu Ning shook her head.

…

Houtu Village, the village council.

Zhou Hao was stroking his chin, looking at the nearby greenery in a daze. He was thinking about what to do next.

In the afternoon, Zhou Hao had found out that Dong Nan had not stayed long at the entrance of Jingyuan High School before leaving.

“Did you personally see a student walk out of Jingyuan High School and whisper a few words into Dong Nan’s ear before she left?” Zhou Hao asked in confusion, looking at the man before him who had on a respectful expression.

“Mr. Zhou, that’s what happened. I don’t know what the student said, but Dong Nan left without looking back. Even the sign hanging on her body was tossed aside. She also ignored the reporter,” the man quickly replied.

“Interesting.” Zhou Hao nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed like Chu Ning had a lot of help. The influence backing that student must be very powerful since Dong Nan could leave the school without any worries.

“Alright, you can go now.” Zhou Hao looked at the man and said indifferently.

“Yes, Mr. Zhou.” The man nodded and left the village council office.

At this time, only Zhou Hao was left in the office. Zhao Gang, the chief of Houtu Village, was not there. In fact, this had become Zhou Hao’s office.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhou Hao took out his phone and made a call.

“Hello? What’s the update on the task I’ve given you?” After the call went through, Zhou Hao went straight to the point.

However, to Zhou Hao’s surprise, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

“I’m asking you how things are going.” Zhou Hao asked for the second time, but this time he raised his voice, and it carried a hint of impatience.

“Mr. Zhou, I’m very sorry. This task can’t be completed. The result would be the same if it was someone else.” Chen Fang finally spoke. He really wanted to do it. After all, it was 500,000 yuan. However, he couldn’t do it unless he wanted to lose his job.

“Alright, I got it.” Zhou Hao hung up the phone expressionlessly.

He had wanted to intimidate Chen Fang. After all, he was only a small-time reporter.

However, Chen Fang’s last sentence revealed a crucial piece of information. The task that he had assigned to Chen Fang had been forcefully interfered with.

In fact, Chen Fang’s words were already tactful. The leaders of all the news agencies in M City had been informed that the negative effects of the Soaring Clouds Group would not appear in the news.

Chen Fang was only a small-time reporter. He couldn’t make any decisions. In fact, even the person-in-charge of the news agency could only listen obediently, let alone him.

“Chu Ning… I’ve underestimated your influence in M City. It seems that it’s not without reason that you’ve made Cheng Yi and Ye Ting feel helpless.” Zhou Hao muttered to himself.

Just as Zhou Hao was thinking about how to deal with Chu Ning, his phone rang.

“Hey, what’s going on with Dong Nan?” Zhou Hao asked indifferently.

The person who called him was the person sent by Zhou Hao to monitor Dong Nan’s family.

“Boss Zhou, there’s a stranger in Dong Nan’s house. Should we take action or wait and see?” the person on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice.

“Don’t take action first, wait for me to get there,” Zhou Hao said.

“Alright, Boss Zhou.” Then, the call was disconnected.

Without a doubt, the sudden appearance of a stranger in Dong Nan’s house was related to Chu Ning.

“It’s useful just to send someone to keep watch?” Zhou Hao thought in disdain.

He had arranged for more than a dozen people to surround Dong Nan’s house in order to prevent any accidents from happening, and to better control Dong Nan’s family.

Now that Chu Ning had dared send someone to Dong Nan’s house, Zhou Hao decided to teach her a lesson no matter what her purpose was.

“In the end, you’re just a student,” Zhou Hao sneered as he immediately left the Houtu Village’s village council.

He was going to Dong Nan’s house to check on the situation and deal with the person that Chu Ning had sent.

Of course, if possible, Zhou Hao hoped that this person could be bought over by him and become a pawn that he arranged to stay by Chu Ning’s side.

Based on the current situation, if he wanted to deal with Chu Ning, he could only start with the people around her.
