Yan Zhong raised his gun and fired in the direction where the Duke of Thunder had run, but the bullets hit the small wooden building where Ye Hao was...

"Clang clang clang!"

The bullets hit the bulletproof glass, making a clanging sound. Ye Hao, who had just fallen asleep, was instantly infuriated upon hearing it. Could this Ni Ma let people sleep at this late hour? It was one thing to make noise, but shooting?

Lin Ruyu, who was a light sleeper, heard the gunshots. Upon waking and seeing Ye Hao was there, she breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Hao often experienced gunfire, which subconsciously made her wonder if he had gone out to fight again.

"Did something big happen outside?" Lin Ruyu asked, wrapping her arms around Ye Hao's chest, hoping to keep him from going out again.

She truly didn't want Ye Hao to pick up a gun again because whenever he did, they all worried about him, fearing he might get hurt. Guns and knives are merciless, and if he were to get shot, it would be over.

This is not the result they wanted. They wanted to live happily with Ye Hao, not worried every day about his safety.

"Who cares about them?! Let's sleep! I hope they don't provoke me, or they'll regret it." Ye Hao snorted, then embraced Lin Ruyu's slender waist and fell back asleep.

Ye Hao rarely relaxed and didn't like getting involved in others' affairs, so he could hold Lin Ruyu and sleep without worry. Previously, he not only wouldn't sleep but might even take out his gun to check the situation outside. If things went awry, he might get involved in others' fights.

Three minutes later, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.

The Duke of Thunder ran from the west of Luo Dousha to the northeast, nearly exhausted. He gritted his teeth, hoping to find a haven to rest.

However, there was no construction in Luo Dousha, no large piles of stones. All he saw was a small wooden building, two stories high, with the first floor elevated and the second for living.

With no place to escape, he could only come to this wooden house to hide for a while.

Seeing a bit of light from the wooden house, he hoped he might get help from those inside to escape this crisis.

"Thump thump thump!"

The Duke of Thunder reached the northeast, ascended the stairs of the small wooden house with thumping steps.

After the stairs, there was an open-air kitchen with plenty of fresh vegetables and kitchen knives.

He knocked forcefully on the wooden house's door.

"Knock knock knock!"

The sound of knocking was loud enough that Ye Hao, Lin Ruyu, and others inside could hear it clearly.

Ye Hao felt a surge of anger, thinking about shouting out loud at this Ni Ma, wondering if it will ever end. Considering the women were still drowsy, he refrained.

Lin Ruyu squinted and asked, "What's happening?"

"Nothing, you guys just sleep peacefully!" Ye Hao said, suppressing his rage, secretly deciding to punish the knocker later.

Just as Ye Hao was thinking this, the clang clang clang of bullets came again from outside the wooden house.

The sound was like firecrackers, waking up all the sleepy women.

Ye Hao was on the brink of furiousness, thinking that if there was just one more noise, he wouldn't be able to resist going out and dealing with those bastards causing such a racket.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sound of bullets hitting the bulletproof glass continued.

The Duke of Thunder outside heard the sound and realized the preciousness of the wooden house, made entirely of bulletproof glass.

He thought that if he could get inside, he could escape this crisis since the house was impenetrably bulletproof.

He grew increasingly excited, almost smashing the door open with force.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Haha! Are you leaving? Let me see how you leave?" Yan Zhong's loud voice carried over from afar and could be heard by Ye Hao and others inside the wooden house.

Ye Hao couldn't hold back any longer, got up immediately, didn't even put on a shirt, wearing just shorts, and lit a cigarette as he walked to the door.

Lin Ruyu worriedly said, "Be careful, don't get into a firefight with them, just try to make them leave."

"Yeah, Hao, if something major happens, call Dad," Fang Ni also worriedly advised Ye Hao.

"Ye, don't listen to Ni or Yuyu, you should beat them up for disturbing our sleep," Su Qing said angrily.

Xia Zhu said nothing, as her family's background was the weakest among these women, she always refrained from commenting on Ye Hao's actions.

Even though she knew Ye Hao didn't care about her background, a woman's slight inferiority complex was still evident.

But she overlooked that her family's background wasn't weak because her brother Xia Liu was one of the high-level figures and founding members of the Hao Association. Although he hadn't invested a penny in the association, his research achievements made everyone in the association unable to ignore his existence.

"Creak!" Ye Hao opened the door and, without a glance, kicked the Duke of Thunder.

"Bang!"

The Duke of Thunder was kicked by Ye Hao, flying from the second-floor doorway of the wooden house, and landed in the sandpile below.

With his mouth full of sand, the Duke of Thunder turned angrily, but seeing a young man with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing just shorts, he felt he recognized this guy from somewhere.

Ye Hao looked coldly at the Duke of Thunder and said, "Disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, I'll cripple you."

Although Ye Hao found the Duke of Thunder familiar, he couldn't remember where they had met.

Hearing Ye Hao's voice, the Duke of Thunder was more certain he had met him before, but couldn't recall who Ye Hao was or where they had crossed paths.

The Duke of Thunder hurriedly said, "Sorry, brother, I was being chased and needed a place to hide. Forgive the disturbance, you look familiar to me, haven't we met before?"

"Don't talk about acquaintances with me if you..."

"Clang clang clang!"

Before Ye Hao could finish, the sound of gunfire hitting his wooden house came again from afar, angering him further.

Ye Hao's body vanished instantly from the spot, appearing rapidly in front of Gong Qi and Yan Zhong.

The Duke of Thunder watched as Ye Hao's figure disappeared in an instant, stunned beyond words. He didn't knock on the second-floor door again but stood by the wooden house, watching where Ye Hao went.

Ye Hao's figure flickered a few times, already a hundred meters away, now before Yan Zhong.

Yan Zhong saw Ye Hao suddenly appear in front of him and froze, then looked as if he'd seen something terrifying, stumbling back in fright.

A man appearing suddenly late at night was indeed quite frightening...(to be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
