Chapter 3

"Is it really that simple?"

Father Su Ming was taken aback.

A single silver tael could actually exchange for this three-hundred-year-old Dragon Spirit Ginseng, which was simply unbelievable. He looked at Su Hao with a doubtful gaze.

"It's really that simple. Otherwise, how could I have obtained this Dragon Spirit Ginseng? The money you gave me couldn't even buy a single strand of it!"

Su Hao waved his hand and said.

Looking at Su Hao, Father Su Ming could only pretend to believe him.

"It seems your luck isn't bad. You might have met a high-level person."

"Let's go. Dinner should be ready. We'll eat together. Once you start working at the捕院 (Bureau of Capture), you won't have time to come back and have dinner with your mother!"

Father Su Ming knew he wouldn't get any more information, so he didn't ask further. He put the wooden box away in a hidden compartment behind him and took Su Hao to have dinner.

He planned to ask Su Ping about Su Hao's recent situation later.

Dinner was already prepared. Su Hao's mother, a woman with a noble appearance, smiled lovingly when she saw Su Hao come in.

Among the children, for some reason, she liked Su Hao the most.

Feeling his mother's loving gaze, Su Hao felt a warmth in his heart. He could sense how much Su Mother loved him.

"A bit jealous!"

Su Hao thought to himself.

"Come and eat quickly! What are you standing there for? I had the servants prepare your favorite Fucheng steamed buns. Sit down and eat quickly."

Su Mother called out.

Smelling the aroma, Su Hao realized he was hungry and quickly sat down to eat.

Su Hao's mother kept warning him to be careful at the Bureau of Capture, not to do dangerous things, and to quit if it was too much.

This made Father Su Ming's lips twitch several times.

For his mother's concerns, Su Hao had to nod. In his eyes, staying alive was the most important thing, after all, he enjoyed his current identity as a wealthy young master.

So, when faced with dangerous situations, he would definitely run as far as possible.

After dinner, Su Hao returned to his room.

Gu Xier came to the Su residence without anyone stopping her. In no time, she appeared in front of Su Hao's bedroom.

Creak

She pushed the door open and walked in.

At that moment,

Su Hao was lying on his small bed, humming a tune and resting.

Today, from the moment he was transported to the Bureau of Capture, he hadn't had a proper rest. Just as his eyes were about to close,

the door suddenly opened, and Gu Xier appeared in front of Su Hao.

"Su Hao, I'm back. Why didn't you come to see me?"

Gu Xier spoke, her face already close to Su Hao's.

At that moment, a new task appeared in Su Hao's system task bar.

[Task]: Die under the peony, even as a ghost, be a romantic. How can you not kiss a beauty who comes to you? Before Gu Xier reacts, grab her head and kiss her hard. Reward: 100 sign-in points, 2 Bronze Lottery Cards.

"What?"

Seeing the task, Su Hao had no time to think. He had to complete it. 100 sign-in points and 2 Bronze Lottery Cards were worth the consequences of being beaten up.

Su Hao opened his half-closed eyes, directly grabbed Gu Xier's head, and kissed her hard.

Gu Xier was a bit dazed, her eyes wide open, not quite believing it.

Her face instantly turned red, as if she realized something, and she pushed Su Hao away.

Crack!

Due to the force, Su Hao's body hit the bed frame, breaking the window frame.

"Ah!"

Su Hao let out a scream.

He had already prepared for a beating while kissing, but when nothing happened, he relaxed. Then, suddenly, this happened.

"Su Hao, do you want to die?"

Gu Xier, seeing Su Hao hit the bed, her red face showed anger. She didn't expect Su Hao to dare kiss her, but it felt good just now.

Su Hao, lying on the ground, immediately pretended to faint.

His eyes were closed, and he lay still, listening for the system task completion notification.

[Congratulations, Host, system task completed. You have received 100 sign-in points and 2 Bronze Lottery Cards.]

"Hmm, you're still pretending to be dead? Get up quickly, or I'll stomp you to death!"

Gu Xier, seeing Su Hao lying on the ground, became a bit angry. This guy had a thick face, daring to pretend to be dead with her. Although her force was a bit strong, Su Hao had some cultivation and wouldn't be hurt.

"Ah!"

Seeing the situation, Su Hao knew he couldn't pretend to be unconscious anymore. He quickly opened his eyes but still acted confused, looking at Gu Xier and asking:

"Xier, why are you back? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I missed you so much!"

Gu Xier, seeing Su Hao's expression, her eyes wide open, didn't expect him to act like this. He was too shameless.

"My bed is broken, and why am I on the ground? My back! Xier, do you know who did this to me?"

Su Hao pushed the boundaries of shamelessness to the extreme.

"Get up. I came here to tell you something important. I heard you started working at the Bureau of Capture today."

Gu Xier came here not only because she missed Su Hao but also to tell him something.

"Yes, I'm now the deputy leader of the Bureau of Capture!"

Su Hao, noticing that Gu Xier wasn't angry and wasn't going to beat him, immediately returned to his usual self, speaking proudly.

Of course, he had a question in his mind: Does this girl like the previous Su Hao?

Thinking about this, Su Hao carefully observed Gu Xier. Her eyes were bright, and she was truly beautiful, making his heart race.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Xier, seeing Su Hao's eyes shining and a bit lustful, her face changed.

"I'm not thinking about anything. I just noticed that Xier has become even more beautiful. By the way, Xier, what did you want to say?"

Su Hao quickly changed the subject.

"I took a mission at the County Town Pacification Office to investigate the cause of Wang Tong's death."

"Wang Tong, the deputy leader, didn't he die in an accident?"

Su Hao instantly became alert. He knew Wang Tong's death wasn't an accident; he wanted to get some information.

Because he still had a task related to Wang Tong in his task bar, he was particularly interested in this matter. Of course, he maintained a surprised expression.

"Wang Tong didn't die in an accident. He was killed by the Blood Shadow Sect. As for the reason, I'm still investigating. I came here to tell you not to get involved in Wang Tong's case. Otherwise, you might be in danger. The people of the Blood Shadow Sect are ruthless and have no qualms."

Gu Xier said solemnly.

She came here to prevent Su Hao from getting involved in Wang Tong's case to keep him safe.

After all, Su Hao's strength was too weak.
