The next morning, Haitang was awakened by a ringing telephone.
Opening her eyes, Haitang saw that Shen Dong was not beside her and guessed that he must have gone out to practice his martial arts.
"Hello, this is Haitang."
A loud voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Haitang, it's Uncle Xin. Did I disturb your rest?"
"No, I usually get up at this time too. Uncle Xin, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I heard someone hired an assassin from Angel Wings to kill you, is that true?"
"yes."
"Why didn't you tell me about something this big? Do you still consider me your uncle?"
Hearing Uncle Xin's words, Haitang felt a warmth in her heart.
"Uncle Xin, don't worry, the assassin from Angel Wings is seriously injured and won't be coming for me again anytime soon."
"Don't try to fool me. I know Angel Wings' ways very well. They charge high prices, but once they accept a mission, they'll do everything in their power to complete it, unless the person who hired them cancels the mission. By the way, have you found out who's behind this?"
"It should be Zhou Chaoxian."
"Damn it, it really was that bastard. Haitang, I'm going to find Zhou Chaoxian right now and make him cancel the mission. If he dares to disagree, I'll find a way to kill him."
"Uncle Xin, I have arranged to meet Zhou Chaoxian at 10 a.m. today. He will choose the location for the negotiations."
"I'll go with you then."
Haitang was taken aback and said, "Uncle Xin, you don't need to go to so much trouble. I'll call you after we're done talking."
Uncle Xin chuckled and said, "I'm already at Xiong Gao."
Haitang asked in surprise, "When did you arrive?"
Uncle Xin said, "I arrived at three o'clock this morning."
It turns out that after Uncle Xin learned that Haitang was in danger last night, he immediately led more than a hundred of his men to Xionggao overnight.
To avoid disturbing Haitang's rest, Uncle Xin had his men patrol less than 300 meters from the manor, while he found a nearby hotel to stay in.
Haitang was very touched and said, "Uncle Xin, thank you."
Uncle Xin said, "My relationship with your father is closer than that of blood brothers. When he was killed by a traitor, I was in prison and couldn't save him, which I already regret deeply. If you and A Yuan get hurt again, how can I face Brother Hai?"
Haitang said, "Uncle Xin, it's all fate."
Uncle Xin said, "Alright, that's enough. I'm going to your place for breakfast now, and I'll also take this opportunity to see your Mr. Shen."
Haitang smiled and said, "I believe he will satisfy you."
After hanging up the phone, Haitang put on her clothes and went to the kitchen.
Seeing Shen Dong making breakfast, Haitang couldn't help but smile.
She stepped forward and put her arm around Chen Dong's waist, whispering, "Brother Dong, Uncle Xin has already arrived at Xiong Gao."
Shen Dong hummed in agreement and said, "When I went out for my morning exercise, I saw quite a few people from the Heaven and Earth Alliance. It seems I was being a bit cynical in my judgment."
Haitang said, "Don't say that. I know you mean well. By the way, how is Mr. Xiahou?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I went to the hospital half an hour ago. He has already woken up and has three broken ribs. With his physical condition, he should recover in half a month at most."
When one's kung fu is mastered to the point of "transformation into strength," the circulation of qi and blood will be ten times faster than that of an ordinary person, the functions of the five internal organs will be greatly enhanced, and one's physical condition will be greatly improved.
For ordinary people, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon, but for a master of internal energy, as long as they diligently circulate their qi and blood, they can recover in half a month.
Haitang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as Mr. Xiahou is alright, that's good. Uncle Xin will be coming over for breakfast later, so I'll make it."
Shen Dong said, "I knew he would come, so I made breakfast for three people."
Haitang asked, "Where are Li Jie and the others?"
Shen Dong said, "They ate outside long ago after their morning exercise."
Haitang exclaimed, "You kung fu masters are truly disciplined."
Shen Dong had just finished preparing breakfast when Zhao Chengxin arrived.
He was about forty years old, 1.7 meters tall, thin, with dark and rough skin. He was not particularly handsome, but his eyes were very sharp and his aura was incredibly powerful.
Haitang frowned slightly and said, "Uncle Xin, we haven't seen each other for only a month, how come your hair has turned so white?"
Zhao Chengxin said, "It's all because of the gang's affairs. You know, I only got out of prison three months ago, and I need to sort out many people and things. Haitang, this must be your boyfriend, Mr. Shen Dong, right?"
Haitang nodded and said, "That's right."
Shen Dong extended his hand and said, "Uncle Xin, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Zhao Chengxin shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Shen, after learning that you are Haitang's boyfriend, I sent someone to Hong Kong Island to investigate you. I hope you don't mind."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Xin, you are Haitang's elder, so it's only right that you investigate. By the way, you can just call me A Dong. The title 'Mr. Shen' sounds too formal."
Zhao Chengxin laughed heartily and said, "Alright, then I'll call you Adong."
Before meeting Shen Dong, Zhao Chengxin was somewhat worried that he would be difficult to get along with.
After all, a young man under thirty who has the strength to compete with the four major powerhouses is bound to have some arrogance.
But now it seems I was worrying unnecessarily.
Shen Dong was not arrogant at all; in fact, his words gave Zhao Chengxin a feeling of warmth and comfort, which greatly impressed him.
No wonder they've achieved what they have today!
This level of refinement is something that not everyone possesses.
