Chapter 176: Shanghai Fantasy
Wu Hao heard his parents’ concerns and smiled reassuringly, saying, “It’s okay, Mom. Hong Kong isn’t as bad as you think with those criminal gangs. In fact, this city is still one of the safest in the world! So, your worries are completely unnecessary. We’ll leave, of course, but that will be after our trip ends.”
According to the travel agency’s itinerary, Wu Hao and the others were scheduled to stay in Hong Kong for two days, meaning they would fly to Australia the day after tomorrow. Today was only their first day in Hong Kong, and while it was entirely feasible to leave now, Wu Hao was not someone to back down from trouble, and he didn’t want to leave any regrets for his family. After all, this was just the first day of their trip. If they were to leave on the very first day, what about the rest of the itinerary?

After all, not only Hong Kong but every city in Mainland China had its share of criminal elements—just not as exaggerated as in the movies.
Just as Wu Hao’s parents were about to advise him further, Wu Hao reassured them and sent them back to their rooms. He also instructed Shen Lin and the others to stay on high alert at the hotel.

Moreover, Wu Hao was about to actively seek out and resolve this trouble himself.
