The breakfast was quickly concluded amidst the trio's banter, but the crisis gradually moved closer to them.

"Today is the first day of school, we need to go register, let's go!" Ye Hao tidied up the dishes, put on his new school uniform, and said as he came downstairs.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing both turned their heads together, looking at Ye Hao, who was walking towards them. Their gazes became somewhat evasive because Ye Hao looked incredibly handsome in his outfit—a charming smile, dark eyes, and a white shirt on his muscular physique made his chest muscles more prominent. The new school uniform made Ye Hao look even more like a rich and handsome guy.

Being handsome is one thing, but the aura Ye Hao naturally carried was another, unreplicable by others. Such an aura would instinctively draw any woman towards him, making them unwilling to see him get too close to other women.

After a long while, Lin Ruyu snapped back to reality, picked up the backpack on the sofa, and slung it over her shoulder. At that moment, she felt a desire to hold Ye Hao by the arm, but seeing the smile on Ye Hao's lips, she crushed that thought.

Su Qing was different. She adorably donned her backpack and then said coquettishly, "Ye, let's go to school together!" After saying this, she went up and wrapped her arms around Ye Hao's.

Ye Hao smiled, having no other thoughts between a man and a woman, only considering Su Qing as a pure, innocent neighbor's little sister.

"Shall we go?" Ye Hao asked Lin Ruyu, who was standing there.

"Oh!" Lin Ruyu snapped out of her daze, responded, but looking at Su Qing holding Ye Hao's arm, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. It was as if something she kind of liked was taken by someone else. However, she showed no emotion on her face, making it impossible for anyone to detect that a girl's heart was beginning to develop a small crush on someone…

Su Qing clung to Ye Hao's arm and only reluctantly let go when they reached the courtyard, savoring the feeling of holding Ye Hao's arm. Su Qing was such a girl; she never hid her fondness for things she liked and never showed friendliness to things she didn't like.

"Are you too smitten with me, Ye?" Ye Hao looked at Su Qing with a mischievous smile and said.

Su Qing was about to nod and say something admiring, but at that moment, Lin Ruyu abruptly interjected, "Isn't he just a poor loser? What's there to admire? Let's go, off to school."

Su Qing looked a bit apologetically at Ye Hao, but noticed that Ye Hao didn't seem embarrassed at all. He just stood by the car door, laughing heartily, "I wonder who was staring at my other arm when I was walking out of the courtyard, sigh!" Ye Hao pretended to sigh.

Lin Ruyu's face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and she shot Ye Hao a fierce glare, saying, "Nonsense, would I want to hold you? Shameless!"

"Oh? Did I say you wanted to hold me? The absence of silver here speaks volumes! Haha." Ye Hao looked at Lin Ruyu's embarrassed expression, feeling a sense of triumph, and laughed heartily again.

"Get lost!" Lin Ruyu shouted angrily, thoroughly embarrassed.

Ye Hao was really afraid of this tigress getting angry. He was just a bodyguard now, so it's better to keep a low profile! Sigh, I wonder when I can reclaim my boss's might!

"Alright then!" Ye Hao decisively kept quiet.

Lin Ruyu angrily opened the car door and then slammed it shut forcefully, as if she had a vendetta against the car door.

After Su Qing got in the car, she noticed Ye Hao seemed unfazed, with a calm demeanor, and whispered over, "Ye, Yuyu's relative hasn't left yet, maybe she's a bit irritable, don't blame her, okay?"

Ye Hao chuckled at her words and said, "How could I be mad? It's just someone being jealous! Too bad, this young master truly has no interest in letting her hold…" Ye Hao said proudly, but at this time, Lin Ruyu picked up her phone.

Casually, she said, "Ah, it seems someone needs a little disciplining for their itchy problems, calling his boss for a little chat."

Ye Hao's face turned embarrassed at her words, and he hurriedly turned around, trying to appease her with a grin, "You know… haha, actually, how could Miss Lin possibly want to hold a poor guy like me? Right? Miss Lin, you're a noble lady, breathtakingly beautiful, and should not fuss with a poor nobody like me, right?" Ye Hao's words couldn't have been more self-deprecating.

In his heart, he sighed deeply; women are really not easy to deal with! Why did I dig myself into this mess? I should just focus on taking her to school and let her study; do I need to show off?

"Pfft!"

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing looked at Ye Hao's appearance and couldn't help but burst into laughter, even forgetting all about the phone in her hand, covering their stomachs and laughing heartily.

"Ye, you're such a coward; you're seriously ruining your tall image. Qingqing despises you!" Su Qing said while laughing, not forgetting to mock Ye Hao.

"I despise you too, you're not a real man at all. Just a little scare, and you chickened out, haha!" Lin Ruyu said, laughing with Su Qing.

"All right! Yes, yes, yes, I chickened out, I'm a coward, it's my bad, I was narcissistic, Miss, don't be mad, okay? You don't know, if I lose a job like this, where would I find another job?" Ye Hao continued to belittle himself.

He was indeed afraid that a certain woman would report him to his superiors, which was no laughing matter. If his superiors thought he had such a bad image, they might not consider him for any jobs in the future.

"Haha, this is too funny, I'm dying of laughter, let's go to school already!" Lin Ruyu said, clutching her stomach and laughing heartily at Ye Hao, as if just seeing Ye Hao like this was enough to make him laugh uncontrollably.

"Alright, this humble guy is going to drive now." Ye Hao heard that she didn't seem to plan on continuing to report him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, so he drove the car out of the small courtyard.

A kilometer away from the western middle school of Peng City, more than thirty men in black were sitting in various models of cars, each holding a knife. They didn't get out but sat in the cars as if they were waiting for someone.

These were naturally people looking to trouble Ye Hao. Because Ye Hao stopped people like codename A from hijacking, the higher-ups found out, so they demanded they must get rid of Ye Hao.

Otherwise, others would dare to bully them arbitrarily.

Ten of them had returned from overseas, while the other twenty or so were some low-end forces lurking in Peng City.

Now they've all been mobilized. They have intelligence that Ye Hao and others will pass through this avenue next.

They have over ten second-level National Martial Arts experts, combined with more than twenty first-level martial arts enforcers, even if Ye Hao had wings, it would be difficult to escape their pursuit.

They didn't wait long, about half an hour later, a fiery red Lamborghini slowly approached them from afar.

Even though Ye Hao was casually chatting with the two beauties in the car, his sense of precaution was still present. When driving onto this street, he saw from afar ten or so cars stopped in the middle of the road.

The awareness of danger over the years made him feel threatened, so upon arriving here, he slowly eased off the gas pedal.

Quickly he communicated with Qianqian, hoping she could provide some useful intelligence.

"Qianqian, help me detect if there's any danger from those dozens of cars ahead?" Ye Hao asked in his mind.

"Sorry master, you're too far from the cars in front, it's impossible to detect. Of course! If your current strength was at level A, this distance would naturally be nothing," Qianqian laughed.

Ye Hao cursed in his heart, isn't this nonsense? If I were at level A strength, I wouldn't need to detect; I'd drive straight through, they couldn't do anything to me.

"Alright! But I want to know, can this system make me stronger in an instant?" With no result from the first question, Ye Hao eagerly asked a second question.

"Yes! But for the next week, the master won't be able to use second-level National Martial Arts strength," Qianqian laughed.

"Ugh! Let's do it, it's true that misfortunes never come singly. These people must be up to no good, just not sure if they're after Lin Ruyu or me." Ye Hao mumbled with Qianqian, though he thought to himself, regardless of whom they're after, if they run into me, I must stop them.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you driving so slowly?" Lin Ruyu asked Ye Hao in confusion when he suddenly slowed the car down.

"There's a group of people up ahead, not sure if they're after us. If we drive through now, and they target us, they'll definitely block us, but if we don't drive through, you won't make it to the academy," Ye Hao said with a bit of seriousness.

"Pfft! We haven't offended anyone, why would they come looking for us? Could it be Lu Yunsong's people?" Lin Ruyu also expressed uncertainty.

"Not Lu Yunsong's, I sense intense murderous intent. Lu Yunsong couldn't possibly know so many people from the underworld," Ye Hao analyzed based on his observation.

"Could it be they're here to kidnap me?" Lin Ruyu wondered, looking at Ye Hao.

"Not necessarily; I think they're probably after me, since I'm the only one who's done two significant things recently." Ye Hao thought this might be the so-called organization?

Or was it that the people of the Eagle Castle from the Sun Never Sets Empire were here for revenge?

Ye Hao didn't know, but he wasn't someone easily scared by the unknown. If he were frightened by such a minor unknown, he wouldn't deserve to be a soldier in the country's elite battle team.

"You guys drive, and if anything happens, turn around immediately." Ye Hao paused and immediately made a decision, planning to get out and test the waters first.

"Alright! But if anything happens, I hope you don't get hurt."

At this moment, Lin Ruyu showed a big sister demeanor without a trace of girlish naivety, replaced by mature poise, decisiveness, and straightforwardness.

"Mm!" Ye Hao nodded, then he got out of the car and started approaching the various cars blocking the path, step by step.
