Ye Hao watched as the dramatic events unfolded, feeling a bit speechless. What on earth was happening?

"You guys... aren't mad at me?" Ye Hao was a bit taken aback, lifting his head to look at Lin Tian and Su Jinyuan.

Remarkably, Lin Tian and Su Jinyuan nodded again and gave a hum. Ye Hao sighed, wondering if he was seeing things. They seemed displeased with him just moments ago, throwing a taunt and looking at him with unimpressed eyes.

But at this moment, they seemed like different people, being nonchalant with him. Their transformation was too quick, leaving Ye Hao baffled.

"Hehe! You are a perfect bodyguard. I trust you completely to protect my daughter. I hope you won't disappoint me. And of course, in this Nanyue Province, if you have any ideas, feel free to call me." Su Jinyuan chuckled as he handed over a business card.

Written on it was Su Jinyuan, with the phone number 137xx. The card wasn't gold-plated or silver-lined, just an ordinary business card with no mention of who Su Jinyuan was. Such a plain phone number would go unnoticed if thrown on the street.

But Ye Hao quickly accepted it. He wasn't aware of Su Jinyuan's official position, but his air of authority made Ye Hao feel a bit stifled.

It wasn't that Ye Hao couldn't handle the pressure; it was a subconscious reverence for the superior. Although Su Jinyuan was a leader on the political path, in Ye Hao's eyes, any high official was his superior.

Moreover, Su Jinyuan was his major employer. If he provoked his employer and they reported unfavorably, he'd have a tough time...

"I will take good care of them, please rest assured," Ye Hao habitually saluted.

Lin Tian stepped forward, pulled out a diamond-embellished card, and handed it over. Written on the card was Lin Tian. At the sight of the name Lin Tian, Ye Hao's hands trembled a bit...

This... is my major employer? A figure ranked among the top ten global individual billionaires? Huaxia's richest person? A series of shocking questions bombarded Ye Hao's mind.

Ye Hao was startled, taking two steps back, and nervously asked, "You... you... you are that top ten millionaire on the Forbes list, Lin Tian?"

Lin Tian smiled, put the card in Ye Hao's hand, and said, "That's just a title, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, hehe..." Lin Tian waved his hand with a smile.

"Wow! It really is you..." Ye Hao exclaimed as if he'd never seen a billionaire, realizing the series of moves in the business world last night were orchestrated by this incredible person...

"So, the shock in the business world last night was your handiwork, Mr. Lin? So impressive! I thought someone else was so amazing..." Ye Hao praised, looking at Lin Tian in admiration.

His eyes were full of unabashed reverence. Lin Tian appreciated it, glancing at Su Jinyuan, who remained unfazed despite Ye Hao's praise.

"Hehe, those were just small endeavors, nothing much." Lin Tian felt he finally found someone to boast to, waving his hand grandly.

"Haha! Mr. Lin, you're indeed magnificent, worthy of being my major employer. I promise to protect your daughter well," Ye Hao laughed heartily.

"First of all, thank you, little brother, but your own safety is important, too. When protecting my daughter, ensure your own well-being," Lin Tian advised, looking at Ye Hao like a mentor.

"Of course, if anyone dares to harass Miss Lin and Miss Su, I will protect them, you can be assured," Ye Hao smiled and added, "But Mr. Lin, I have a question; I wonder if I should ask?"

Lin Tian nodded with a smile and said, "Hao, speak freely, there's nothing you shouldn't ask."

Ye Hao nodded and said, "Then I'll say it. Lin, have you heard of an organization called 'the Group'? Seeing you calling me Hao, I'll drop the titles and get closer."

"Oh?" Lin Tian looked a bit surprised at Ye Hao, with Su Jinyuan also giving an insightful glance.

"Hehe, where did you hear about this?" Lin Tian replied with a question.

"I feel that these recent events are premeditated. First, during Ms. Lin and Ms. Su's journey back from Bangui to Huaxia, they were harassed by the Young Master of Eagle Castle from the Empire of the Sun. They even tried to take Ms. Lin and Ms. Su away. Then, after returning to Huaxia, the next day they had tickets to rush back to Peng City, but then someone hijacked the plane. Of course, I'm not saying this to take credit but to analyze if these incidents are connected, especially yesterday's siege. Although they claimed their goal was to kill me, I felt their intention was more inclined to capture Ms. Lin and Ms. Su."

Ye Hao paused for a breath and continued, "I think Lin you've heard of this organization? Or was the commercial storm in Huaxia you stirred last night a warning to those who intend to harm Miss Lin?"

Lin Tian listened quietly to Ye Hao's analysis. When Ye Hao finished, he nodded in appreciation and said, "Hehe, your perception is sharp. The way you connect these events has some noteworthy points. However, starting today, don't mention these things. Any following confrontations will be handled by me. You only need to ensure my daughter finishes her university studies. You'll be free then." Lin Tian smiled, ending the chat.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao felt a bit perplexed about Lin Tian's remarks, but since the major employer said there's no need to think anymore, why bother mentioning it? It's enough to stay alert.

"Alright! But if Lin needs any help, please do let me know. Although I, Ye Hao, am not particularly capable, at least there's over a hundred pounds of me." Ye Hao joked.

"Alright! If I have anything needing your assistance, I'll certainly tell you," Lin Tian nodded.

Later, Ye Hao also realized Lin Tian and Su Jinyuan wanted to say something to his daughter, so he left the hospital room of his own accord and went out to the hallway to smoke with Lu Yunsong and others.

"Bro, you're quite fortunate!" Lu Yunsong looked at Ye Hao with an expression of admiration.

Ye Hao was puzzled and asked him, "What kind of fortune?"

"Do you know who Su Qing's dad is?" Lu Yunsong said admiringly.

"Who?" Ye Hao genuinely didn't know what position Su Jinyuan held or where he was stationed.

"I'm afraid telling you might scare you!" Xue Zhaolong, seeing Ye Hao's impressive recovery, grinned as he joined in.

"Hah! I, Ye Hao, am unafraid even amidst a thousand soldiers, and you think I'd be scared by a girl's dad? You underestimate me." Ye Hao struck a pose, sat down with legs crossed, and puffed smoke rings.

"Her dad is the Provincial Party Secretary of Nanyue Province." Zhuorong Town, usually quiet, couldn't help wanting to see Ye Hao embarrass himself upon seeing his brash demeanor.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ye Hao's crossed legs dropped, and he stood up quickly, anxiously asking, "Are you sure?" Ye Hao was indeed fearful; this was a high-ranking leader!

Though he couldn't dictate where Ye Hao went, someone like Su Jinyuan, who was striving to climb higher as the top provincial officer, could be transferred to the central government at any time, potentially making Ye Hao his subordinate regardless of his department.

Luckily, he hadn't done anything too brash earlier; turns out, this was a fierce tiger indeed! Ye Hao thought to himself.

"Haha! Putting on airs." Zhuorong Town couldn't hold back his laughter, and Lu Yunsong along with others burst out laughing looking at Ye Hao's reaction.

Feeling slightly annoyed by their laughter, Ye Hao asked, "Do you guys know who Lin Ruyu's dad is?"

"Haha! Who else could it be? No matter how impressive her dad is, he can't outrank Su Qing's dad in terms of position, right?" Lu Yunsong replied indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao mischievously leaned forward and whispered, "I'm afraid telling you might shock you to death..."

Ye Hao looked at them expectantly after speaking, thinking they might show curiosity, but he noticed the group wasn't curious at all, just casually blowing smoke rings.

"Damn! Aren't you even a bit curious?" Ye Hao's temper flared, and he glared at them.

"If you want to tell, just tell..." All three took a puff of their cigarettes and blew it at Ye Hao's face, saying.

"Her dad is Lin Tian, ranked among the top ten in the Forbes list, damn! Bet that shocks you." Ye Hao blurted out Lin Tian's identity.

"Uh~~~" The three grunted, tightening their grip on their cigarette butts, but they stared at Ye Hao as if unfazed.

"For real?" Xue Zhaolong seemed the most excited upon hearing Ye Hao's words.

"Scram! Believe it or not." Ye Hao waved his hand and shouted.

Sure enough, the trio showed expressions of curiosity and admiration, then gathered around Ye Hao, whispering among themselves.

In the hospital room, the two men watched Ye Hao's retreating figure...

After Ye Hao left, Lin Tian asked beforehand, "Does it resemble?"

"It does!" Su Jinyuan nodded thoughtfully.

"How much?" Lin Tian continued speaking in riddles with Su Jinyuan, making Lin Ruyu and Su Qing standing beside them feeling glum.

"Eighty percent similarity to him in his youth; there's hardly any difference." Su Jinyuan said, then looked at his own daughter, noticing her face flushed, and couldn't help but smile.

Lin Tian did the same, turning to look at Lin Ruyu, observing how his daughter grew up and became more beautiful, he recalled Ye Hao and smiled knowingly.

The two young women didn't know what kind of riddles the men were playing; they could only stand there dazed, hoping they'd soon get some answers...
