To understand the state of Wen Xiaowei after opening her governor and conception vessels, Wang Hao took her running early the next morning, covering nearly half of Zao City, leaving Wen Xiaowei completely drenched.

"How about we stop and rest for a while?"

Wang Hao looked at her with pity and suggested that Wen Xiaowei take a break. Everything should be done within one’s limits, as exceeding them could easily lead to problems.

"No, I’ve only got five kilometers left to run!"

Wen Xiaowei said through gritted teeth.

"The preliminaries are about to start soon, and if I can’t even pass the preliminaries, I won’t qualify for the national competition."

Wen Xiaowei was being stubborn, and there was nothing Wang Hao could do about it.

"Yo, isn’t that Xiaowei? What’s up? Running for training?"

As they were passing by the Yuan River, a ruffian-like voice suddenly emerged nearby.

Upon hearing this voice, Wen Xiaowei could not help but frown, but Wang Hao found the voice very familiar and couldn’t help but stop and look back.

It turned out to be Wu Yangming’s grandson Wu Jianzhong, the same guy who had bet with Wang Hao at the jade betting event and lost miserably.

"Wu Jianzhong, what are you up to now?"

Wen Xiaowei knew that Wu Jianzhong was up to no good, and she frowned deeply.

"What else could I be up to? I heard you entered the martial arts competition, so I came to check how well you’re prepared!"

Wu Jianzhong said jokingly, but when his gaze shifted to Wang Hao, it was filled with resentment.

Since the embarrassment Wu Jianzhong faced at the jade betting event in front of so many people, he had held a grudge!

"What’s your participating in the martial arts competition to me?"

Wen Xiaowei said angrily, taking Wang Hao’s hand, ready to leave.

"How can it not concern me? Our Wu Family is also participating in this competition!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Wu Jianzhong said leisurely.

"The Wu Family? Just you? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at? I guess the moment you get on stage, you won’t be able to take a single move!"

Wen Xiaowei said mockingly with disdain on her face.

"Who told you I was the one competing?"

Wu Jianzhong said with a sly smirk.

"Knowing that you entered the competition, I carefully picked top-notch experts to participate. I see no hope for you in the preliminaries!"

Wen Xiaowei’s face suddenly changed, as Wu Jianzhong’s words were a blatant provocation.

The Wu Family had never participated in a martial arts competition before, but they suddenly got involved this time, and it was obviously targeted at her, Wen Xiaowei.

Wu Jianzhong didn’t bother to hide it.

"I’ll tell you straight, Wen Xiaowei, and you, Wang Hao, if you think you can oppose our Wu Family, you’re still too green. This is what your end looks like."

Wang Hao secretly glanced around and noticed that the surroundings suddenly had a lot more suspicious individuals. It seemed that Wu Jianzhong had come prepared.

But with just these few smash-and-grabs, they still weren’t a match for Wang Hao to flex his muscles.

"Are you, the young master of the Wu Family, also out to exercise early in the morning?"

Wang Hao asked nonsensically.

"None of your damn business, keep your mouth shut!"

Wu Jianzhong glared at Wang Hao as he spoke.

"Of course, it’s my business. You need to train your body well to be able to take a beating, so that when I fight back, it’s more satisfying."

As Wang Hao spoke, he stretched and warmed up, his bones cracking and popping.

Seeing Wang Hao’s actions, Wu Jianzhong’s face instantly changed.

He had heard about the boxing match below, where Wang Hao had crippled Billy with one kick and was now known as the Fist God of Zao City.

If a fight were to really break out, even ten or twenty Wu Jianzhongs wouldn’t be a match for Wang Hao.

"You... what are you trying to do!"

Wu Jianzhong stammered, backing away in fear.

Just then, these suspicious individuals all ran forward, positioning themselves in front of Wu Jianzhong and moreover, they were all holding weapons in their hands, clearly having come prepared.

In fact, Wu Jianzhong had intended to take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack on Wen Xiaowei, but he hadn’t expected that Wang Hao would be accompanying Wen Xiaowei for their morning exercise today. Yet, Wu Jianzhong was unwilling to let it go and decided to come over and show off.

However, Wang Hao had a fiery temper and was ready to swing punches after exchanging just a few words.

Seeing that these people were all wielding weapons, Wen Xiaowei was also very worried and kept hiding behind Wang Hao.

"You still have a competition to attend, hurry up and leave. I can handle these few people on my own,"

Wang Hao said, patting Wen Xiaowei’s shoulder with a relaxed expression.

But Wen Xiaowei looked worried, shaking her head vigorously.

"Listen, the competition starts in just a few days; you absolutely cannot afford to have any accidents, you still have to fulfill your mother’s wish."

"Even if you’re not injured, if you get taken to the police station for investigation due to fighting, it will affect your competition!"

Wang Hao seriously analyzed the pros and cons with Wen Xiaowei, trying to persuade her to leave.

In reality, Wang Hao was also concerned that if Wen Xiaowei stayed, he would have to be distracted to look after her, which could affect his performance as well.

"Then be careful yourself, and make sure not to get hurt!"

Wen Xiaowei was eventually persuaded, mainly because she completely trusted in Wang Hao’s power and knew that he could handle these people.

No sooner had Wen Xiaowei left than the men Wu Jianzhong had brought surrounded Wang Hao.

"Everyone says you’re really tough, today I want to see it with my own eyes,"

Wu Jianzhong had never personally seen Wang Hao in action and really didn’t believe he was as formidable as the rumors, so he spoke to his underlings.

"Whoever of you manages to take down Wang Hao today, I’ll reward with two million!"

As the saying goes, for a heavy reward, there will be brave men, and upon hearing about such a substantial prize, their eyes turned red with greed, and they charged at Wang Hao weapon in hand.

Seeing their undisciplined attack, Wang Hao couldn’t help but snicker. They were clearly just asking to be beaten.

"Stop! Raise your hands now!"

Just as Wang Hao was preparing to enjoy a good fight, an angry shout suddenly came from behind him.

Wang Hao couldn’t help but look back and his brows furrowed tightly, thinking to himself, Zhou Yingying, why do you always arrive right on time? Aren’t the police in TV shows and movies supposed to come out halfway through the fight?

Upon seeing Zhou Yingying holding a gun, Wu Jianzhong’s men immediately dropped their weapons and raised their hands.

"Ying Ying, don’t meddle in things that don’t concern you!"

Wu Jianzhong seemed to recognize Zhou Yingying. He was disdainful even as she held the gun, so he waved his hand at his men.

"Don’t mind her, beat Wang Hao, the bastard, to death for me!"

Of course, these men also knew about Wu Jianzhong’s power, and since he said it was fine, they picked their weapons back up from the ground and rushed at Wang Hao again.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and Wu Jianzhong’s men were so scared that they stopped in their tracks, hastily retreating a step.

At this moment, Zhou Yingying held her gun up, firing a shot into the sky before aiming it at them again.

"That shot was just a warning. If any of you dares to move again, I won’t hesitate to shoot for real!"

Zhou Yingying said with a stern face.

"Ying Ying, I’m your big brother, and you dare point a gun at me? See if I don’t tell grandfather about this!"

Wu Jianzhong yelled furiously and defiantly.

"Even if you were a prince today, it would be useless—you break the law, I will apprehend you without hesitation!"

As she spoke, Zhou Yingying took out handcuffs and cuffed Wu Jianzhong on the spot.

Wu Jianzhong’s lackeys were also squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads; Zhou Yingying indeed dared to arrest anyone and showed no mercy to them either.

"Zhou Yingying, you really think too highly of yourself. You’re just an illegitimate daughter born by my aunt outside, a bastard who dares treat me like this. See if I don’t get my dad to kill you!"

Seeing Zhou Yingying showing no mercy, Wu Jianzhong furiously cursed her out loud.

"Say that again, who exactly is the bastard here?"

Zhou Yingying, upon hearing Wu Jianzhong calling her a bastard, angrily pressed her gun against his head and roared!
