Du Hao was in a dilemma.
As an adopted son of a second-rate family, which was basically having a godfather of dubious reputation, he could swagger around in front of outsiders, but he didn't actually possess any real status or identity.
Within the Jinling circles, he even had to pour drinks for those young masters, smiling obsequiously to win their favor.
How could he possibly interact with soone like Chu Tianjiao?
That guy wouldn't even bother with a loser like him!
However, seeing Xu Muge's earnest eyes, Du Hao put on an act and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try. When I was in Jinling, I've had dinner with Mr. Chu a few tis. We have a nodding acquaintance."
"It shouldn't be hard to get so face from him."
"But, since Qin Jiang has offended Mr. Chu so badly, if Mr. Chu is dead set against it, you can't bla ."
He directly shifted the responsibility to Qin Jiang.
If it didn't work out, he could just bla Qin Jiang's reason and claim it had nothing to do with him, Du Hao.
This way, he could curry favor with Xu Muge for free, so why not? Maybe, he could even score so brownie points with Chu Tianjiao?
Xu Muge was imdiately overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, senior!"
Since Du Hao was willing to plead on her behalf, perhaps there was still a chance things could turn around.
Maybe Qin Jiang's life could be saved.
Du Hao waved his hand and said, "It's a trivial matter, Muge. I'm willing to help you with anything."
He was all sincerity.
Xu Muge was grateful to him in her heart, but it wasn't out of romantic feelings. She could tell by now that Du Hao probably had those kinds of thoughts about her, but she hadn't considered him in that light at all.
"Senior, you've helped so much, I really wouldn't feel right if I didn't give you sothing in return," Xu Muge sighed.
She wanted to solve this issue with money and didn't want to owe Du Hao too many favors.
Du Hao patted her shoulder, "You still don't understand ! Do you think I'm the type of person who is greedy for petty profits? I'm helping because it's you who's asking."
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't want to get involved in this kind of thing."
"Senior, I'm sorry, I really appreciate you going through this trouble..." Xu Muge felt sowhat guilty.
"No worries. One day, you'll realize who truly has your best interests at heart," Du Hao sighed with a deep look.
Now that there was a rift between Xu Muge and Qin Jiang, his chance to swoop in had co.
Eventually, he was going to win Xu Muge over!
How could Qin Jiang, that loser, compare to him?
After returning to the hospital, Du Hao assured Xu Jinhong and his wife that he would definitely manage to smooth things over with Chu Tianjiao, leaving them grateful to him.
They were even more impressed with Du Hao's connections and face, amazed that he knew such an important person!
anwhile, on the other side, Qin Jiang who had returned ho, also made a phone call.
Elder Shen's hearty laughter ca through, "Qin, what brings you to contact an old man like ?"
Qin Jiang said solemnly, "Elder Shen, you should have so clout in Jinling, right? Chu Tianjiao ought to give you so face, shouldn't he?"
Elder Shen replied indifferently, "If I were to speak up, I could indeed deter him sowhat. However, there are so things I'm not at liberty to intervene in without a justified reason."
Qin Jiang said with a smile, "Well... As the forr head of the Martial Arts Bureau, you're supposed to be in charge of martial artist affairs, right? It should be okay for you to ask Chu Tianjiao not to harm ordinary people, shouldn't it?"
Elder Shen frowned, putting on a show of difficulty, "Qin, I can do that, but I've already retired. Speaking up now would owe a significant favor!"
"However, since you're asking, I'll make sure it's done, no matter what," he declared resolutely.
Qin Jiang smiled wryly, this old fox was trying to sche against him again, it seed that he still hadn't given up on getting him to join the Martial Arts Bureau and was trying to make him indebted to him!
Qin Jiang said in a deep voice, "Elder Shen, rest assured, I have your kindness in my heart."
Shen Tianhua sighed, "Having it in your heart is not enough, Qin. Your talents should not go to waste!"
Qin Jiang found an excuse and temporarily evaded the issue.
The relationship between the two was now good, and both sides understood what kind of people they were dealing with.
So, Qin Jiang didn't need to say much more.
Shen Tianhua believed that Qin Jiang was soone who understood gratitude, so he wasn't in a hurry.
The ti just wasn't right yet.
The next day, close to noon, Xu Muge suddenly received a phone call.
"Hello, Sister Yufei!"
Zhao Yuefei said, "Muge, Chu Tianjiao has withdrawn the Killing Order against you!"
"What?!"
Xu Muge asked, "Is it really withdrawn?"
"Yes." Zhao Yuefei said, "A big shot in Jinling spoke out, forcing Chu Tianjiao to withdraw the Killing Order against you. However, he has not withdrawn the order against Qin Jiang."
Hearing this, Xu Muge's eyes turned sharp, "This... How did this happen?"
Zhao Yuefei shook her head, "I don't know either!"
"Moreover, word has leaked that this big shot exerted pressure this ti, which made Chu Tianjiao very angry. Soon, he will personally make a trip to Jiangcheng!"
After finishing the call with Zhao Yuefei, Xu Muge felt sowhat troubled.
The people from the Xu Family in the hospital room asked curiously, "Muge, are we safe now?"
Xu Muge truthfully told them the situation.
Liu Ya's eyes shone, "Du Hao is really amazing! Just a few words and our problem was solved!"
Du Hao's face was full of confusion.
He hadn't actually done anything, had he?
What was going on?
But since he had accidentally stumbled into credit, he could only reply with a laugh, "I told you it was a small matter. I have so connections in Jinling. This big shot is soone I had to call in a huge favor to ask for help."
"As for Qin Jiang, I really have no solution! Who told him to offend Mr. Chu so badly?"
"That big shot told , ensuring your safety was already the biggest concession from Mr. Chu! Bla him for his own actions, I've done my best!"
He was secretly overjoyed.
Chu Tianjiao was willing to let Xu Muge go but not Qin Jiang; wasn't fate helping him?
The Xu Family mbers patted their chests in relief, having survived a great calamity.
Xu Muge still wore a look of concern, but still looked at Du Hao with gratitude, "Thank you, senior. This ti, you've really gone through a lot of trouble..."
With Du Hao having helped her out of a tight spot several tis, she was starting to feel a bit embarrassed.
Du Hao said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, if I have the ability, then naturally I should help relieve you of your worries!"
Although he hadn't done anything, it was as if heaven itself were helping him, what could he do?
He could only reluctantly accept the credit with a thick face.
