With no more worries, Qin Hao smiled again: "The Provincial City's future will never be calm. Let's give it our all!"

...

After the meeting ended, Qin Hao received an unexpected call from Lin Yuhan.

"Hey, Qin Hao, something bad has happened..."

From the first sentence, Qin Hao sensed that things might not be good, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yuhan's tone was heavy: "Just now, the company received calls from distributors in Xiangnan, Yuezhou, Shanghai, and others, saying they want to cancel order collaborations..."

"Did the Shangguan Clan make a move?"

Qin Hao's expression also grew serious.

Killing the direct members of the Shangguan Clan could be said to have enraged the giant family's weak spot.

In terms of force, they allied with Master Gu; on the commercial front, they have cut off development in outer provinces with Thunderbolt speed.

This is truly a never-ending battle!

"Yu Han, there may be many more bad news like this in the future. I hope you can hold on!"

With no alternatives, Qin Hao had no comforting words and could only say thus.

On the phone, Lin Yuhan's voice suddenly became calm: "Qin Hao, when I offended Shangguan Feihong that day, I already expected this situation. Don't worry, I'm not that weak."

Qin Hao immediately felt relieved. Then, Lin Yuhan said, "Moreover, it doesn't matter if the outer province channels are cut off; we're only in the initial expansion stage anyway. Even if we lose them, it won't hurt much. As long as we hold onto our share of the Provincial City, there will always be opportunities."

Qin Hao nodded and agreed: "With the project we have conquered, at the Provincial City headquarters, the Shangguan Clan shouldn't be able to move us. Even if they can, so what? I have money; at worst, I'll support you!"

"Alright, alright, we know you have money. You're a big tycoon with thirty billion, after all!"

Lin Yuhan was even in the mood to joke, indicating there shouldn't be any problems on her side. After chatting for a few more sentences, Qin Hao ended the call.

Putting down the phone, Qin Hao's face turned cold. Just as he was about to head out, the phone rang again.

"Qin Hao."

The old and hoarse voice was very familiar, and instantly, Qin Hao recalled Master Gu's old face flashing before him.

"Old Ghost, how do you know my phone number?"

If he remembered correctly, his phone number was private; besides Xiaowu and three wives, no one else should know.

Now, Master Gu unexpectedly called? This made Qin Hao reluctantly dispel his underestimation of him.

"Hey, do you think you're the only one who can find hackers?"

Master Gu sounded extremely proud: "Even though I'm old, I'm still aware of some necessary techniques."

As soon as Master Gu finished speaking, the God of Thieves' voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Boss, Fatty said he's in trouble. His computer is being blocked by a man known as Northern Europe's Number One Hacker, Hughes, and he cannot assist us for now!"

"What!"

Qin Hao's expression slightly changed.

Fatty has actually encountered a rival?

In Qin Hao's impression, Fatty's hacking skills are unparalleled, yet he is now facing trouble, showing the opponent's strength.

"Heh, my first gift. Qin Hao, do you like it?"

At this moment, Master Gu's sly voice sounded, and Qin Hao replied coldly: "So it was you!"

"Yes, to find someone who could confront Asia's top hacker, I've paid a hefty sum indeed."

Master Gu's voice returned to arrogance: "Additionally, should I be calling you Qin Hao now, or Night Emperor?"

Qin Hao's face paled a bit, but his tone returned to casualness: "Very well, Ancient Ghost, you've managed to investigate my background, seems you put in some effort. Now, this game finally gets interesting."

Master Gu's voice brimmed with confidence: "Qin Hao, this time I'm going to personally kill you and the members of the Nightmare Squad. I'll show you, Huaxia is ultimately beyond your outsiders' control!"

"I'm waiting."

With his icy words, Qin Hao hung up and directly threw his phone out the window.

After finishing this, he turned around and saw the squad members standing at the door, with solemn expressions.

"That old ghost is more formidable than I thought, but not enough to defeat us."

Though feeling increasingly heavy, Qin Hao maintained a relaxed smile on the surface.

His attitude influenced the others, who all nodded in agreement.

Ring ring!

The phone rang a third time, but this time from Fang Zhenwu's pocket.

He answered, and after saying a few cold words, he hung up, with an extremely displeased expression: "Boss, my Money Gang was slaughtered, and over thirty people died. Also, my company was vandalized by unknown assailants, the front door is broken, and several employees are injured."

"Ancient Ghost's second gift."

Without changing his expression, Qin Hao mumbled to himself: "Well, it seems the first encounter was my defeat."

Feeling extremely conflicted, no matter how unwilling to admit, Qin Hao knew the first confrontation was a complete defeat!

He mistakenly underestimated Master Gu's intelligence; despite seeming close to the grave, the old ghost's thinking was no different from the young.

Although at a disadvantage, Qin Hao quickly regained his confidence, and told the members of the Nightmare Squad: "For now, everyone should try not to go out; we need to maintain discretion. Also, Xiaowu, don't bother with the company's matters, let Ren Tiangao handle them."

Fang Zhenwu hesitated: "Without my help, Ren Tiangao won't be able to manage this..."

Qin Hao firmly said: "He must handle it! Right now, that old ghost is surely in the shadows inquiring about you all. If you expose yourselves, you'll easily be attacked."

"You are all my partners, family. I don't want to see any of you in danger!"

Qin Hao's stern yet heartfelt words warmed everyone's heart.

In the next moment, everyone spoke in unison to display their stance: "Boss (Captain), we obey your command!"

"Very good."

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction, encouraged them with his gaze, and turned away from the door.

Late night. In the dim hall, all the top executives of the Witch Demon Sect gathered.

Master Gu sat at the head seat, feeling very pleased after giving Qin Hao a series of attacks earlier in the day, his face constantly wearing a smile.

Before Master Gu, six chairs were arranged in two rows. Seated on the chairs were all dressed in black robes, with "Skull" emblems embroidered on their chests, representing the sect's high ranks.

Many Witch Demon Sect members present had indifferent expressions, and the two who occupied seats indicated their very high status.

Indeed, these six individuals are the six major Demons of the Witch Demon Sect: Illusion Demon, Witch Demon, Mad Demon, Blood Demon, Flame Demon, and Beggar Demon.

"Time has passed, yet that little upstart Qin Hao hasn't made a counterattack. Could it be that he's really been scared out of his wits?"

The speaker was Witch Demon. He was a scrawny old man; his hand was shriveled like a chicken claw, tightly gripping a dark magic wand.
