Chapter 175: Bridal Gift

The others in the room all felt like throwing up after seeing Wang Hao’s expression.

To put it nicely, Wang Hao was highly responsive; but to be more straightforward, Wang Hao was a cunning fox and a shameless merchant who had been the bane of so many innocent people.

“Wang Hao, this is Qiu Lei, the heir to the Skyfire Corp. If you can help me get him out, the Skyfire Corp will be forever in your debt.” Qiu Linghan displayed Qiu Lei’s photo.

On it was a muscular man around thirty who seemed rather intimidating.

“The Skyfire Corp does not have other heirs?” asked Wang Hao curiously.

Qiu Linghan sighed and said, “The Qiu family hasn’t had many children in each generation. Qiu Lei is my nephew and one of only two men in this family, so nothing can happen to him.”

“One of only two men? Who’s the other one?” asked Wang Hao.

“My father, who is also the helmsman of the Skyfire Corp,” answered Qiu Linghan.

Wang Hao nodded and gave the space gem to Qiu Linghan. “Last time, you said that this space gem would be a bridal gift for me to marry your disciple. I’m giving it to you now. When do you think we should hold the wedding?”

“You want to marry Qianqin?” Qiu Linghan was stunned, uncertain of what Wang Hao was up to.

Wang Hao nodded solemnly. “If I marry Xue Qianqin, I will be your disciple’s husband, and we’ll be family! Then, you can give the Skyfire Corp to Xue Qianqin. In such a case, you will have both an heir and a super genius to help her. Also, I promise that I will behave and won’t interfere with the operation of your corporation, on the condition that you give me several hundred servants and some allowance each month…”

Shoot!

Everybody sweated hard as Wang Hao redefined shamelessness yet again.

This man described living off of his wife as if he were acting for her sake. It was truly an eye-opener.

“Wang Hao!” Xue Qianqin shouted and glared at Wang Hao furiously.

“Be a good girl. We’ll consummate our marriage tonight after I’m done talking with your master.” Wang Hao looked at Xue Qianqin affectionately as if he were her loyal lover.

Everybody rolled their eyes, certain that Wang Hao had thrown his morals to the far end of the universe.

Xue Qianqin gazed at Wang Hao wrathfully. If her eyes were blades, Wang Hao would’ve been cut into molecules.

“Hu… Hu…”

Qiu Linghan took a deep breath. She felt like beating Wang Hao up too; he was too shameless!

“Wang Hao, just stop thinking about that,” Qiu Linghan said softly. “Qiu Linghan is my disciple, but she’s never going to inherit the Skyfire Corp. You’d better focus on rescuing my nephew!”

“Seriously?” Briefly stunned, Wang Hao ventured, “Is your father going to make a younger brother for you?”

Qiu Linghan nearly passed out in fury. How could this little bastard talk like that? Was he trying to get himself beaten up?

“Senior Qiu, my junior brother doesn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive him…” Ling Xiao apologized quickly and dragged Wang Hao out, fearing that someone would be killed if he stayed any longer.

“Hey, why are you dragging me out, senior brother? I have so many questions that I haven’t asked yet…!” Wang Hao yelled while Ling Xiao tried to cover his mouth.

The rest of them hurried to bid farewell, fearing that Qiu Linghan would beat them up to quench her fury.

After everybody left, an old man appeared in the office.

“Father!” Qiu Linghan gave the old man a hand.

“This Wang Hao is really perky, isn’t he?” The old man stroked his beard and laughed.

Qiu Linghan snorted angrily. “Perky but annoying.”

“Why are you so grumpy at a little kid when you’re a Martial Saint?” The old man pointed at Qiu Linghan with a smile.

“I’m not as open-minded as you are. When the boy accomplishes his mission and returns, I’m going to spank him and let him know the consequence of pissing off the Queen of Hell,” said the Queen of Hell angrily.

“You do seem to be very confident in Wang Hao, don’t you?” asked the old man.

Qiu Linghan said solemnly, “I don’t know much about Wang Hao, but my guts tell me that he’s the only one who can rescue Qiu Lei.”

The old man nodded and said, “It’s not a big deal that you asked Ling Xiao, Li Yunyang, Le Xuan, and Wang Hao in, but why did you include Xia Weiwei? She’s from the Xia family, and they will come after us if anything happens to her!”

“It’s exactly because the Xia family is powerful that I took Xia Weiwei in: so that the Xia family can coordinate the five major forces to declare war on the Glorious Sky Federation if anything happens,” said Qiu Linghan solemnly.

The old man sighed and said, “I hope that nothing will happen, or the Skyfire Corp will be a public enemy even if the five major forces make the Glorious Sky Federation send them back!”

Qiu Linghan was grave too: she was taking advantage of the children’s identities to force the five major forces to unite. Though immoral, she had to do it for the survival of the Skyfire Corp.

Besides, everything would be fine as long as Wang Hao could get Qiu Lei back.

“Wang Hao, you have to succeed!” Qiu Linghan clenched her fists.

…

The next day, Wang Hao’s spaceship had been modified.

The level-five stealth system and the level-five Particle Beam Cannon were both installed, and the facilities on board had all been optimized, making the spaceship as good as a large one.

Ling Ling hopped on the spaceship delightedly, because she would be the one who would pilot the advanced spaceship in the future.

Qiu Linghan approached the crew and said softly, “You will receive copious rewards as long as you fulfill your mission. Please, be safe. Evacuate the moment you sense that you’re exposed.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Everybody nodded their heads.

To be honest, Qiu Linghan was only confident in Wang Hao, because she knew that Wang Hao would never put himself in danger. Who knew whether or not the rest of them would be provoked by the enemy and get themselves in trouble because of their hotbloodedness?

But she believed that they would be fine under Wang Hao’s lead, provided that Wang Hao wouldn’t set them up himself.

“When you reach the Glorious Sky Federation, a man named Bai Bian will contact you and tell you the details,” said Qiu Linghan.

“Got it, got it…” Wang Hao waved his hand and boarded the spaceship.

Everybody else followed him and waved their hands at Qiu Linghan in farewell…
