Chapter 55 (1/2)

Within several minutes of getting home, Chen Hao received a notification from his bank, informing that 200,000 yuan had been transferred to his account, not a cent less.

Chen Hao was dazed for a moment as he stared at the message, before letting out a sigh and turning off his phone.

Speaking of which, he truly felt sympathetic after hearing Bai Ru’s story today. She had put in so much effort for her father, yet, in the end, her contribution was easily erased when the illegitimate son appeared out of nowhere. This was truly saddening.

But the enmity in a rich and powerful family was way too complex and hard to explain clearly. Now that Chen Hao had the Pleasure Helping Spirit System, he had a goal to strive towards, so he didn’t wish to get involved in this.

Let’s take it one step at a time. It’s just a deal with a client. As for the rest, don’t even think about it.

After putting these irrelevant and complicated matters out of his mind, Chen Hao continued his daily cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, another few days had passed.

The buzz in Stone City was still going on, with no sign of dying out.

Because the tomb in Stream Mountain had attracted the archaeologists, a lot of information buried in the historic rivers had been discovered. Either by design or accident, under the relaxed attitude of the Stone City officials, continuous reports popped out in the media, which the public discussed with great relish.

This was part of the planning and tactics of the development, nothing to be surprised about.

However, what surprised Chen Hao was, as the reports grew in number, he and Master Long slowly became a hot topic of discussion. Their mysterious means were something the public delighted in talking about, a trending subject online.

It was alright for Master Long, for he had been in this line for more than ten years, had already achieved great fame to his name, and had a lot of connections.

However, there wasn’t any information on Chen Hao prior to this. It was like he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Thankfully, Shuanglong Group didn’t go overboard. They did a good job of keeping Chen Hao’s identity under wraps. Even if there were some hearsay, it wasn’t detailed. Also, no pictures had leaked, so Chen Hao went on living as usual and wasn’t much affected.

Of course, due to his new fame, several people had sought help from Chen Hao through Shuanglong Group. However, Chen Hao rejected them all.

Having been put in danger once, Chen Hao was now much more alert. Before he mastered his skills, he wasn’t planning to take on more missions.

He led a fulfilled and calm life, and the obvious daily improvement was his biggest motivation.

Just as Chen Hao thought that this was the way things would be for a long time, Zhou Gang’s call came.

“Hao’zi, I have good news. Wanna hear it?” Zhou Gang sounded very excited.

Chen Hao smiled. “Brother Zhou, don’t tell me that Zhao Yuan’s mother has been found?”

Zhou Gang gasped. “You’re indeed a great master with spot-on calculations!”

Chen Hao paused in surprise. He had merely made a wild guess.

That got him excited too. “Really? You’ve found her? Damn, you’re awesome, Brother, to be able to find a nobody from one hundred over years ago. Brilliant. I’m impressed.”

Zhou Gang was caught between laughter and tears. “Why? You didn’t think I would be able to find her?”

Chen Hao was a little awkward.

That was really somewhat the case. After all, it was a vast world, and more than a century had passed. Furthermore, it was a chaotic period then. Who would notice an elderly nobody who had passed away?

Chen Hao was prepared for the worst outcome. If she really couldn’t be found, he would find Zhao Yuan, placate him, and seek an alternative method to do a sending for his soul. Even if he couldn’t achieve Dao Attainment for this mission, it wouldn’t matter.
