Chapter 221: Shanghai Fantasy
Upon hearing Wu Hao’s explanation, Li Xiaoyun nodded in a somewhat understanding manner. By now, she had begun to realize that Wu Hao’s various changes over the past year or so were likely related to the abilities he possessed.
As for Wu Hao’s family background, she had been well aware of it for a long time. In fact, it wasn’t just her—Wu Hao’s experiences and family situation over the past 20-plus years had already been laid out in front of many powerful factions.
For example, departments like the **** National Security Bureau, as well as the two century-old powerful family conglomerates that had once had conflicts with Wu Hao.
Although they had gathered information, they were unable to prove anything. On the contrary, Wu Hao’s identity, the forces behind him, and the power he possessed only grew more mysterious.
The simpler his background seemed, the more extraordinary his abilities appeared. For instance, during the incident in South America, not only did Wu Hao escape unharmed from the ambush of a well-trained special elite squad, but he also wiped out the entire team, though no one knew what method he used.
After the incident, the Rothschild family dispatched people to the scene shortly after. By the time they arrived, many of the bodies had been devoured by local insects and wildlife, but a thorough investigation revealed how the team had died.
What had killed them wasn’t firearms or explosive weapons, but their own daggers. All their wounds were similar. These people were elite special forces personnel—unless they didn’t resist, how could they have been so easily killed by their own daggers, with their throats or hearts pierced?
Thus, how Wu Hao managed to wipe out so many people in an instant became the key question they pondered.
