I made plans to conquer the heroine in advance, and the protagonist was dumbfounded!

Xu Ruolan stood up and said, "There are two rooms for rest. Secretary, please follow me."

The secretary was about to refuse.

Li Hao frowned, "Just go if you're told to. If you don't rest well, how can you stay here with me?"

It was the first time that the secretary heard Li Hao being so harsh to her. Her face turned pale and she bit her lip.

"Then I'll go and rest first. If you need anything, Mr. Li, please call me anytime."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Ruolan settled the secretary before coming out and getting some of their food reserves for Li Hao.

"Mr. Li, the conditions here are tough. It's almost noon, you should eat something."

Otherwise, I'm worried that my physical strength might not be able to sustain it for too long."

Li Hao took the dry food and ate it with big gulps of water.

Xu Ruolan also looked at the legendary Mr. Li while eating, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, "You are not what I imagined."

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows, took a bite of his dry food and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Ruolan put down the gun beside her, holding the dry food in her hands, bent down with her head down, and gently rested her elbows on her thighs. "I can tell at a glance that you are the kind of person who has a good life. You are handsome, and I guess you have never suffered much hardship since you were a child."

"But..." Xu Ruolan glanced at him sideways, "You eat this hard dry food without a single complaint."

"Don't say it's because it's delicious. The first time I ate it, I almost cried and couldn't swallow it."

Li Hao took another bite of the dry food and smiled. "It's a little hard, and hard to swallow, but at least it can satisfy my hunger."

"Everyone is eating, what's wrong with me eating?"

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers who were chewing their rations smiled at each other and began to talk in low voices.

"This guy is pretty good."

"I thought such a high-ranking CEO would be very difficult to please on the road."

"My sister is a fan of his. It's a pity that this mission is kept secret, otherwise I really want her to know."

"What do you think? Should I use my work as an excuse to get him to sign it?"

"If you dare to ask for it, Captain Xu will use your head as a stool to sit on. You won't do your job."

"Eat quickly, who knows what tomorrow will bring."

At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Hao woke up early.

The only two rooms in the house were reserved for him and his secretary.

When he left, the secretary had just gotten up. Seeing Li Hao get up, he hurried to follow. Li Hao put his hands in his trouser pockets and asked as he walked downstairs, "How did you sleep last night?"

The secretary smiled and replied, "I slept very well, and I've recovered. I'm not so scared anymore."

When they went downstairs, the soldiers in the room were all resting, lying on the floor. Xu Ruolan was lying alone on the sofa coffee table, her long legs stretched out, her black military boots resting on the extended chair next to her.

The secretary felt distressed when she saw this. "These soldiers are really hard-working. Miss Ding is also very hard-working. A girl is sleeping on the table. I don't know if it is hard or not. If I had known last night, I should have told her to squeeze in with me."

Li Hao was just about to ask his secretary to speak more quietly so as not to wake them up, but unexpectedly the next moment, Xu Ruolan opened her eyes.

Soldiers have keen hearing. In fact, Xu Ruolan noticed it as soon as the secretary came downstairs, but she wanted to pretend to sleep for a while.

After rushing from Longguo to Somawai overnight, my body really needs rest to recover.

Soon, the soldiers woke up one after another.

Xu Ruolan began to assign tasks: "Xiao San, you will disguise yourself as a driver and take Mr. Li there. Xiao Wu, you will change into a suit and act as Mr. Li's bodyguard and accompany him aboard."

The two young soldiers stood at attention and replied, "We will complete the mission!"

Xu Ruolan thought for a moment and called her secretary into the room. "Secretary, please take off your clothes and give them to me."

The secretary was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off his coat.

Soon, the two walked out of the room, dressed completely differently.

Xu Ruolan changed into a secretary's professional suit, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, had fair skin, light makeup, and short, neat hair, which added a different charm to her.

The secretary was wearing Xu Ruolan's camouflage pants and military boots, and looked a little uncomfortable facing Li Hao's gaze.

When Xu Ruolan approached, several soldiers tried to suppress their laughter and said, "Captain, this skirt suits you very well. Wear it more often in the future."

Xu Ruolan glanced over expressionlessly, "You're itching, aren't you?"

The soldiers immediately stopped smiling and thought: Anyone who dares to laugh at the cold-faced captain is simply courting death.

Li Hao walked up to Xu Ruolan, rested his chin on his hand, and praised: "It's really good."

Xu Ruolan had never been praised by a man outside the team before. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her serious face. She coughed twice and shifted her gaze. "Boss Li, I'll accompany you aboard later. Your secretary will stay here."

Li Hao nodded in agreement. "That's fine. I'm not too sure if she follows me."

Xu Ruolan picked up the intercom and made the final arrangements. Standing behind the window, she gazed out at the sea in the dim light and whispered, "Follow my signals. Snipers, stay hidden and don't expose yourself."

"Everyone, please pay attention to protecting Mr. Li's safety."

Li Hao stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, leaning against the wall, a nonchalant smile on his face. "My safety is fine."

Xu Ruolan had ended the call. "Mr. Li, the Kowloon government takes your safety very seriously, so please be sure to follow my instructions once you're on board."

Li Hao responded calmly: "If I don't..."

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Xu Ruolan frowned. "Mr. Li, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm more professional at negotiations than you are. If the pirates act recklessly, I hope you can find cover immediately."

Li Hao stared at Xu Ruolan for a while. Xu Ruolan thought he would refuse. After all, such concerns were reasonable. Thinking of this, Li Hao decided not to embarrass her anymore.

"Okay, whatever you say."

At ten o'clock in the morning, the group arrived in the waters off Soma. Li Hao looked at the large ship next to him. It was guarded. Pirates, armed with heavy weapons, stood on the ship with arrogant expressions.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and boarded the pirate ship with Xu Ruolan and Xiao Wu. Dickneus was sitting on the deck, draped in furs, his fingers covered in rings, and even a large ring pierced his nostril.

Li Hao appeared, but Dickneus remained silent. Li Hao said calmly, "If you asked me to come from Kowloon just to show off, then I'm going back."

What a joke, you want to put on airs in front of me as soon as we meet.

If you are shameless even if I give you face, then forget it.

Dicknius was stunned for a moment, looking at the fair-skinned Li Hao opposite him, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Li Hao smiled calmly, "Come to think of it, I've never been afraid of anyone."

Dickneus had a chair brought over, and Li Hao sat down opposite him, with Xu Ruolan and Xiao Wu standing behind him. Dickneus began to negotiate with Li Hao.

"What do you think of us Somawai?"

Dicknius deliberately kept Li Hao in suspense, hoping to see if he was nervous. If he was, he would have to make good use of his bargaining chips and raise the price a little.

Li Hao wasn't worried that Dicknius was keeping him in suspense. He smiled and said, "The scenery outside Soma is really nice."
