The Mightiest Little Peasant Chapter 402 - Top Secret

Chapter 402: Top Secret

Song Linfei and Ling Rui were stunned.
Then, they sucked in mouthfuls of cold air out of fear.
Ling Rui knew that the kid was proficient in martial arts, but how was it possible that he so easily defeated so many powerful fighters from the army?
The kid looked as though he did not expend any effort at all.
‘Dammit, didn’t he come from a mountain village? Where did he learn to do all that?’
Song Linfei was even more shocked than Ling Rui because he knew how powerful his bodyguards were. They were all elites from the army, and any mundane person would have no hope to defeat them.
How could a kid of nineteen be a martial arts master?
Something must be strange about that kid!
He could sense that the kid was not a simple mountain village kid like Ling Rui said.
There was no time for him to ponder the question though. The kid was already in front of his face.
The kid’s eyes were slightly narrowed and his gaze was ice-cold. Song Linfei was terrified.
‘That aura… He’s not a mundane person!’ He was sure about his conclusion.
“Just who are you?” He asked viciously, “Let me warn you, no matter who you are, don’t even think of laying a finger on me.
“You’ll be dead if you touch me!” Song Linfei roared with a crazed look on his face.
Tang Hao glared at him with his narrowed eyes. He suddenly smirked, lifted his hand, and slapped him.
He knew that Song Linfei would not spare him. The consequences were the same whether he beat him up or not.
Nevertheless, Song Linfei was from the Song family, and Tang Hao could not go overboard on him. The Song family was influential in the Capital and wielded a lot of power.
If he killed Song Linfei or otherwise angered the Song family, everything that he owned, including his businesses and status, could be easily taken away.
After all, he was still confined to the mortal world.
Slap!
The sound echoed in the night.
Song Linfei grunted and stumbled backward, nearly falling onto the ground. He found his footing and looked incredulously at Tang Hao while covering his face.
“You dare hit me?”
“That was just a warning. You’d better not cross me, and if you do, it won’t be just a slap,” Tang Hao said coldly, “Also, stay away from Ling Wei as far as you can!”
Tang Hao glared at him one final time, then turned around and left.
Song Linfei was trembling with anger as he covered his swollen face. He gritted his teeth, and his gaze burned with resentment.
Tang Hao got in his car, turned around, and left in the other direction.
Song Linfei continued standing there. He finally could not take it anymore and roared out loud, “That bastard!” He looked as though he had lost his mind.
Ling Rui stood there, embarrassed.
He wanted to teach that kid a lesson so that he could take his revenge, but the tables were turned on him.
“Linfei…” He swallowed with some difficulty and called his friend.
Song Linfei instantly blew his top. “Don’t call me by my name. It’s all because of you, you idiot! You didn’t investigate thoroughly that kid’s identity and you wanted me to fight him. Did you set me up?” He roared maniacally.
Ling Rui instantly shut up. He knew better than to continue speaking.
“That filthy kid is an expert in martial arts… He’s not a mundane person,” Song Linfei mumbled. He returned to his car, took his phone, and dialed a number.
“Hey, Second Uncle? I’d like to ask you for a favor. Help me investigate someone. Right, right, check your army database for this person called Tang Hao.
“He’s not very old, I think he’s still a teenager. He’s from Westridge District in Province Z. Alright, I’ll wait for you! Thank you so much, Second Uncle!”
After ending the call, he dialed another number.
“Hello? Uncle? I’d like to ask for your help to check on someone. His name is Tang Hao, nineteen years old, from Westridge District of Province Z. Nothing, just helping a friend. Don’t worry, there won’t be anything.
“If you can check if he has any special abilities, that will be good. Alright, I’ll wait for you. Thanks!”
He called a few more people before he returned to his car and sat down. His face was extraordinarily gloomy.
He looked into the rearview mirror and saw his swollen face. That made the anger in his heart rage even stronger.
Then, he looked outside of the car at the bodyguards who were sprawled on the floor. “Useless!” He grumbled and called an ambulance.
It was in the countryside where cars rarely passed. Everything was silent for a long time.
Ling Rui also sat in the car. They waited for a long time before they received return calls.
Song Linfei was not satisfied with what they found. They told him about the same thing as what Ling Rui told him. Some of their findings were not even as detailed.
Finally, he received a call from Second Uncle.
“Linfei, that person… isn’t normal! I’ve got someone to check, and there’s that name in the system. Tang Hao, right?”
Song Linfei sat up in alertness. “So who is he, Second Uncle?”
“Well… I don’t know either. I can only tell you that he’s very powerful and someone special!” Second Uncle’s tone of voice was peculiar.
“Indeed, he’s a martial arts expert!” Song Linfei said.
Second Uncle laughed. “Of course, I ought to tell you too, that kid’s file is classified top secret. It means that I don’t even have the clearance to view it.
“Top secret… Hah! This kid is interesting! Linfei, I know that you’re a prideful person, but you ought to let this go! Don’t cause any unnecessary trouble.
“If there’s anything, both of you can sit down and talk about it. You don’t have to be so rash every time,” Second Uncle tried to convince him.
“I know, Second Uncle,” Song Linfei replied.
Second Uncle laughed and did not attempt to convince him any further.
“You should be careful, Linfei. There are only several departments in the army with top-secret files. He might be from a certain secret place too.”
Second Uncle’s tone of voice was low and ominous.
“I know!” Song Linfei replied.
After the call ended, he sat there, holding his phone, with a sinister expression on his face.
He did not expect that the kid’s file would be classified as top secret. There were only several departments in the army with top-secret files, and they all carried out work that involved the security of the nation.
As for the ‘certain secret place’ that Second Uncle mentioned, he had also heard about what was known as the most secret department in the army, consisting of people with superhuman abilities.
‘That kid… it can’t be!’
He sat there thinking for a long time. His facial muscles were twitching viciously.
No matter the kid’s status, he could not take it lying down. He had to take his revenge. The kid could not be more powerful than the Song family!
He took his phone and dialed another number.
“I want to put a bounty on a person. His name is Tang Hao, nineteen years old, from Westridge District in Province Z of Huaxia. He is a student of Z University. The bounty is two hundred million Merrican dollars. Put his name on the Dark Web. I want all the assassins in the world to see.
“You’ll be dead soon, you filthy kid!” He mumbled.
Under the dim moonlight, his face seemed savage.
