Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

At this moment in Jicheng, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The bright moonlight shines on the earth and illuminates the entire city.

However, in the eyes of some people, this peaceful sky has been covered by dark clouds, as if a storm is coming.

Although the police and the military took immediate action to seal off the scene of the incident in the name of a joint anti-terrorism exercise, the news about Li Yitong's assassination still spread as quickly as wildfire.

This shocking incident caused an uproar among the high-ranking officials of Jicheng. From the third-rank officials to the seventh-rank officials, they were all worried after learning the truth of the incident. They cursed Zhou Hao for his audacity and despised Li Yitong for meddling in other people's affairs. The entire Jicheng officialdom was in a panic.

……

A luxurious villa in the suburbs of Jicheng.

An old man with white hair and beard, looking energetic, was sitting on the sofa in the spacious living room, holding a teacup and frowning in thought.

When he saw Zhou Hao walk into the living room, the old man's face suddenly turned gloomy. Like an old dog whose tail was stepped on, he stood up from the sofa and pointed at Zhou Hao and asked angrily:

"How dare you come to me! The prefect of Jicheng is now in charge of the police station, and Qin Hao has also sent out his own police force. Why don't you try to escape quickly? Why do you dare to come here?"

Zhou Hao's face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He lowered his head, his face full of regret.

She slowly walked to the old man, knelt on her knees, and said in a sobbing voice: "Dad, I know I was wrong. I was impulsive at the time and did not consider the consequences. Please give me another chance and help me get through this difficult time."

"I'll help you!"

"Snapped!"

The old man threw the teacup in his hand heavily to the ground, making a heart-wrenching sound of it breaking.

His face was filled with uncontrollable fury. He looked at Zhou Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, with a murderous cold light flashing in his eyes, and shouted angrily:

"You idiot, I have reached an agreement with Qin Hao to postpone the matter of Longhan Group until after the Spring Festival.

But you actually arranged for someone to kill Li Yitong.

Don’t you know that Li Yitong is from the Chu family in Beijing?

You deserve it.

I can't help you.

Besides, you have caused me to be in a difficult situation. Who knows, the Supervisory Office may invite me to have tea tomorrow... Tell me, what can I do to help you?"

Zhou Hao really regretted it at this moment.

When he learned that the eight Vajras he sent out were all killed, a military helicopter appeared at the scene.

Brother Hao, the bully of Jicheng, was completely scared.

He knew that the young master behind Li Yitong was not someone to be trifled with, but he never expected that for the sake of a woman, the Crown Prince of Chu would actually dare to privately mobilize troops, allowing armed soldiers to appear on the streets of Jicheng for no reason.

This is simply outrageous, ignoring the rules of officialdom and directly using the military to launch a dimensionality reduction attack.

Such means made Brother Hao, who had experienced countless storms, feel unprecedented fear.

No matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to go against such a fierce man.

There are only thirty-six strategies left for now, and running away is the best one.

Before the police and the military blockade the entire city, escape from Jicheng and find a way to go abroad.

"Dad, there is a way. I have thought of a way. As long as you help me, I will definitely run away from Jicheng."

Zhou Hao knelt and crawled forward a few steps, holding the old man's legs with both hands, raised his head, and said eagerly with a hopeful look on his face:

"As long as you let me drive your car, there will be no problem. The Jicheng police won't dare to stop your car for inspection... As long as I escape, they won't have anything to threaten you... Even if you are invited to the Supervisory Office for tea, you will be released soon."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

After hearing what Zhou Hao said, the old man laughed in anger: "If you drive my car away, how will I explain it to someone who asks about the whereabouts of my car in the future?"

When Zhou Hao heard what the old man said, his face turned even paler. The method he proposed was full of loopholes and could not convince the old man at all.

He lowered his head, his forehead almost touching the cold floor, and a feeling of despair surged in his heart.

"Dad, I...I know this is not a good idea, but I really have no other choice now."

Zhou Hao's voice trembled, and he was almost begging, "You are my only support. If even you don't help me, I'm really done this time. Then your daughter and your grandson will be implicated when I get arrested."

"Haha, that sounds better when spoken than sung."

The old man stared at Zhou Hao fiercely: "The fact that you came to me alone proves that you have already made up your mind to abandon them and run away alone... I am stupid to ask you to help a man who abandoned his wife and children!"

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, then he slowly stood up. The panic on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of determination and coldness.

"Old man, I don't have time to waste here with you. I'll say it again, call your driver immediately and ask him to drive the car over and give me the car keys."

Zhou Hao had completely torn off his disguise, looked at the old man with a cold gaze, took out the pistol from his crotch, and threatened in a cold voice: "Otherwise, before I get caught, I will shoot you and let you be buried with me."

"you……"

The old man's eyes widened and his face turned pale in an instant. He slowly pointed at Zhou Hao with his trembling right hand and was speechless for a moment.

He felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, his head was buzzing, and the scenery in front of him began to spin.

The old man tried hard to stand firm, but his body was shaking uncontrollably. Suddenly, he felt his feet go weak, his knees bent, and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Old man, at the last minute, are you going to call or not?"

Time was passing, and Zhou Hao was almost completely losing his patience. He loaded the bullet, suddenly grabbed the old man's collar with one hand, and pointed the gun at his head with the other hand. A bloody red light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the old man coldly with eyes without a trace of emotion.

The old man stared at Zhou Hao with his turbid eyes. Hearing his inhumane words, he couldn't help but get furious. He closed his eyes, tilted his head, and fainted instantly.

Seeing the old man who had fainted due to his fright, Zhou Hao shook him vigorously and shouted a few times but got no response. He helplessly put the old man down and lowered his head in thought.

Quickly, he took out the old man's cell phone, found the driver's number, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and dialed the number.

The call was quickly connected, and a middle-aged man's voice came through: "Hello, old man, what do you want to talk to me about so late at night?"

"Driver Tang, I'm Zhou Hao. My dad has high blood pressure and I need you to drive him to the hospital."

"Okay, Boss Zhou, wait a moment, I'll drive the car right over."

The driver did not suspect anything and quickly answered, changed his phone, took the car keys, and trotted away from home.
