Wu Hao heard his parents’ concerns and smiled reassuringly, saying, “It’s okay, Mom. Hong Kong isn’t as bad as you think with those criminal gangs. In fact, this city is still one of the safest in the world! So, your worries are completely unnecessary. We’ll leave, of course, but that will be after our trip ends.”

According to the travel agency’s itinerary, Wu Hao and the others were scheduled to stay in Hong Kong for two days, meaning they would fly to Australia the day after tomorrow. Today was only their first day in Hong Kong, and while it was entirely feasible to leave now, Wu Hao was not someone to back down from trouble, and he didn’t want to leave any regrets for his family. After all, this was just the first day of their trip. If they were to leave on the very first day, what about the rest of the itinerary?

Moreover, Wu Hao spoke the truth. Although Hong Kong’s underworld still had many criminal elements, it was undoubtedly much better than before ’97. Completely eradicating these criminal elements was simply impossible.

After all, not only Hong Kong but every city in Mainland China had its share of criminal elements—just not as exaggerated as in the movies.

Just as Wu Hao’s parents were about to advise him further, Wu Hao reassured them and sent them back to their rooms. He also instructed Shen Lin and the others to stay on high alert at the hotel.

Although the safety at the hotel did not require such tension, as Wu Hao was staying at one of Hong Kong’s top hotels, which would be a disaster for the hotel if anything happened to their guests. Thus, even without special arrangements, Wu Hao’s family would be safe in the hotel.

Moreover, Wu Hao was about to actively seek out and resolve this trouble himself.

……

“Zhou Shao, it might be difficult to act in the hotel,” one of Zhou Kai’s henchmen hesitated in a luxurious room.

“Damn it, just let the hotel staff know, and make sure we get those girls tonight!” Zhou Kai immediately cursed. In his view, Zhou Kai could handle a few people as long as he was in Hong Kong.

However, Zhou Kai was clearly mistaken. Although the Zhou family was indeed a prominent family in Hong Kong with businesses in various industries, this did not mean his subordinates could act freely everywhere.

After all, the hotel where Wu Hao’s family was staying was one of Hong Kong’s most famous hotels. Coincidentally, the owner of this hotel was a rival of the Zhou family, making it challenging to influence the hotel staff.

Just as the henchman was about to explain Zhou Kai’s curses, an urgent call came through the walkie-talkie.

“Huge Brother, someone’s broken in…” The voice on the walkie-talkie suddenly cut off.

Zhou Kai’s brows furrowed. “What’s happening? Someone’s broken in?”

Before Zhou Kai could finish his question, the luxurious room’s door was forcefully kicked open with a loud crash. Wu Hao’s calm voice followed, “Are you Zhou Kai?”

The two bodyguards in the room reacted with vigilance as Wu Hao entered. However, Zhou Kai and his bodyguards were still in shock from the door being kicked in.

The door was no shoddy product; it would have taken several strong men to break it down. Yet Wu Hao had demolished it with a single kick, catching Zhou Kai and his men off guard.

Moreover, Wu Hao had burst in within moments of receiving the call from outside, adding to the shock.

“Who are you?” Zhou Kai’s surprise faded, replaced by a frown and an unfriendly tone.

Though he was astonished by Wu Hao’s entrance, he still had several armed subordinates nearby, which helped him regain his composure.

“You’re asking who I am? Didn’t your subordinates tell you?” Wu Hao said indifferently.

Realizing Wu Hao’s identity, one of Zhou Kai’s henchmen whispered to him, “Zhou Shao, this guy seems to be the one behind those girls.”

Zhou Kai sneered inwardly, “So it’s that nouveau riche from the Mainland. Hmph! Even if this guy has some skills, can he be faster than a bullet?”

Zhou Kai’s assumption was quite arrogant. He might have forgotten that his men outside also had guns, yet they were still overwhelmed by Wu Hao’s entry.

Had Zhou Kai analyzed the situation calmly, he might have realized this, but he had already labeled Wu Hao as a country bumpkin from the Mainland. Moreover, Wu Hao’s disdainful attitude upon entering only fueled his anger, leaving little room for rational thought.

“Hmph! So you’re here for those girls. That’s fine. Since you’ve delivered yourself right to my door, I’ll deal with you first, and then it’ll be easier to get those girls,” Zhou Kai sneered and signaled his subordinates. They promptly drew their black pistols and aimed them at Wu Hao.

“Kid, stay down and don’t move, or you’ll regret it!” Though the subordinates were armed, they were still shaken by Wu Hao’s dramatic entry. They knew his skills were formidable, so they didn’t rush in recklessly.

As for why their teammates outside didn’t stop Wu Hao, they assumed it was their oversight that allowed Wu Hao to get close before drawing their guns.

Knowing Wu Hao wasn’t easy to deal with, the people in the room were extra cautious.

“You think a few rusty guns are enough to handle me? Have you even considered the situation outside the door?” Wu Hao smirked slightly, clearly dismissing the guns pointed at him.

With Wu Hao’s current strength, even if someone aimed a high-caliber sniper rifle at him, he could still walk away unscathed.
