Chapter 445: This Girl Is Great!

atronage. Xiao Long thanks everyone here!!! Also, welcome new friends to join the Dragon Son-in-Law family~~——The Ferrari smoothly drove out of the campus and onto the road outside. Due to rain last n...Chapter 445 - This Girl is Great!

When one of them said this, the others' expressions also turned a bit strange. They had a hint of mockery but dared not reveal it too openly.

Hao Zhonghua, a renowned biologist internationally, declaring his intention to search for "dragons," immediately became a hot topic in media circles. When Hao Zhonghua personally pushed forward this project, it turned into gossip within the industry.

Those who had spent decades in the scientific field without achieving anything significant or were lazy individuals all pointed fingers at Hao Zhonghua, looking to see his humiliation as they believed dragons could not possibly exist. By building such a project, Hao Zhonghua was essentially sabotaging his reputation.

Even those venerable old figures within the science community called Hao Zhonghua one by one, advising him against doing things that would attract undue attention and be detrimental to his future development.

But Hao Zhonghua endured such pressure, raised funds on his own, and established this project. At this point, considering Hao Zhonghua's status, the government gave symbolic funding under the guise of "marine biology."

At this moment, when this scientist suddenly mentioned it with a mocking tone, the intent was obvious.

Hao Zhonghua coldly looked at him and knew exactly where their ill intentions stemmed from.

The scientists who accompanied the Tyrant Group to survey Donghai City were actually automotive engineering experts. With the failure of the $50 million investment project, they would lose out on the money.

Hao Zhonghua had always welcomed all kinds of criticism and opinions, but for mechanical engineers to criticize in the field of biology made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Zhonghua, why bother with these people" Yue Yang sensed a change in Hao Zhonghua's expression and gently advised him.

Given the status and identity of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, there was no need to argue with such lowly scientists. If they got into an argument, it might even help them gain notoriety. In China’s scientific community, some people were not making achievements in their fields but rather engaging in deception for fame.

"Academician Yue, do you also think that the dragon-seeking project is cutting-edge technology" Seeing Hao Zhonghua did not respond, they pushed further and said.

Actually, Yue Yang didn't believe in dragons, but since Hao Zhonghua insisted on this project, she supported her husband.

"In my opinion, the so-called new stars of the international scientific community, Academicians Hao and Yue, are not much different. This impractical dragon-seeking project is nothing more than a scam, perpetrated by those who seek fame through deceit."

One among them said.

"You..."

The anger in Yue Yang flared up instantly.

She could endure other sorts of gossip. But insulting their reputation and calling them deceivers seeking fame was something Yue Yang couldn't bear any longer.

Hao Zhonghua's hard work, she knew best. For the scientific research he loved so much, Hao Zhonghua often didn't return home for months at a time, frequently immersing himself in his laboratory. It was this rigorous and pragmatic approach that had earned him one major discovery after another over the years.

And in order to focus more on his research, Hao Zhonghua also declined many international science awards. He devoted himself so deeply to his work and didn’t care about fame—yet people accused him of fraud!

"You dare say such things about my son! About my son…"

Just as Yue Yang was about to retaliate, Grandma suddenly picked up her cane and thrust it towards the scientists who were speaking ill of Hao Zhonghua.

Today, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had come with Grandma to watch the dragon boat race on River Huanglong. They were concerned that Grandma might tire easily, so they specially provided her with a cane. Now, upon hearing these strangers speak poorly about her son, she was instantly filled with rage, grabbing her cane to hit them.

"Ouch! Ouch!" The scientists hastily dodged; while not very strong, the sturdy cane hurt quite a bit when it struck.

“I’ll break your legs and your mouths for saying my son is lying about money or misleading people…” Grandma hit harder and harder, gripping her cane with both hands and swinging wildly.

The platform was ten meters above the bridge level; outside the railing lay the surging river. These scientists hadn’t expected the elderly lady to be so fierce and nearly fell over the edge while dodging.

Clang!

Muscular Zeng Xin suddenly grabbed hold of the cane with one hand.

Grandma, gripping the cane tightly with both hands, tried to pull it back but couldn’t move it at all.

"Mayor Wu, these people are my guests. Attacking them indiscriminately isn't very proper…" Zeng Xin said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Hao Ren suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the cane with one hand.

"Grandma!" Lu L琳琳 (Linelin) and Lu lì麗麗 (Lili), each took hold of one side of Grandma.

Humph! Zeng Xin, feeling extremely displeased, applied force with his right hand.

Worried that Zeng Xin might injure Grandma, Hao Ren switched positions and pulled too.

Krak!

The pear-wood cane snapped into two pieces instantly.

Mao Wu was astonished by the strength of both Hao Ren and Zeng Xin and also doubted the quality of the cane.

"Hao Ren, hit them! Throw these scoundrels one by one into the river for the dragon king to eat!" The angered Grandma said as she was pulled back by Lu Linlin and Lu lìlì.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guang and Zeng Xin's expressions froze—those people wouldn't eat such things either—"Mayor Wu, hitting someone isn't very proper, is it" Qin Shaoyang took a few steps forward and said.

A glow gathered in his palm. Ordinary dragonkind cultivators couldn’t attack ordinary humans, but Inspectors like him could break that rule.

"Mr. Qin, what if the other party starts insulting first" Su Han also approached with a green light gathering in her hand as well.

"It’s just a verbal dispute; it's still wrong to hit someone..." Qin Shaoyang’s tone gradually softened when he saw Su Han.

He thought that Su Han would not get involved in something unrelated to her, but she actually did.

"Mr. Qin, I remember you were supposed to go on a field trip to Xi涼City for inspiration, so why are you still here in Donghai City"

Su Han said coolly.

"Ah..." The air seemed to be sucked out of Qin Shaoyang's body again.

The aura emitted by Su Han overshadowed Qin Shaoyang! The Dragon Deity Temple had transferred Qin Shaoyang to the northwest cold region, and he shouldn’t have stayed in Donghai City!

"Mr. Zeng, you’re a guest here while on inspection in Donghai City, but guests need to stay within their limits and not overstep." Su Han said coolly as she turned toward Zeng Xin.

Zeng Xin was the Western Sea Dragon King, yet he couldn’t say anything in response to Su Han. On one hand, Su Han was an inspector of Donghai City; on the other hand, Su Han was a super expert at the Middle Heaven Rank!

The strong don’t bully the weak; especially since Zeng Xin’s Western Sea Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses and didn't want to provoke the Dragon Deity Temple.

Zeng Xin turned his dark face toward those scientists, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Hao!" These scientists all worked at the Bully Group's research center and relied on the Bully Group for their livelihood; they exchanged glances before bowing their heads one by one, “Academician Hao, Academician Yue, what we said earlier was just a joke, don’t take it seriously. We apologize to both of you…”

Hao Zhonghua and Yue Liang didn't even look at them with their eyes; people without backbone were not fit to be scientists.

After forcing Qin Shaoyang back, Su Han let out a light snort before taking two steps back to return to Yue Yang's side.

The grandma turned her anger into a smile and gently took Su Han’s delicate wrist. "Girl, good! I like it! What is your name"

Su Han awkwardly pulled back her hand. “Su Han.” “Ah, Su girl, very well!” The grandma nodded approvingly.

Yue Yang couldn’t help but glance at Su Han several times; she was both mature and beautiful, exuding a cold aura with an unapproachable presence.

"Alright, alright. Let’s watch the dragon boat race," Mayor Wu interjected, pointing to the distance.

Hao Ren threw away half of his cane and returned to stand by his side.

Since meeting Zeng Xin, Hao Ren had been on guard against him. Ordinary people are like nothing before cultivators; if Zeng Xin really wanted to harm his family, Hao Ren would fight with all he has.

The seven dragon boats had already started from the shore near the new Xinchuan Bridge and would pass through the Xu Chuan Bridge they were standing on, eventually reaching the Wuchuan Bridge on the other side.

The middle red one was the Donghai City dragon boat team. The remaining six were competition teams sent by nearby cities.

The drum beats from both sides of the river thundered, and cheers filled the river surface.

Each dragon boat was filled with a hundred strong men performing synchronized rowing, making the boats cut through the 300-meter-wide river swiftly.

Hao Ren protected his grandma as he turned to look for Zhen Ciming. He found that this kid had sneaked over to Wu Luoxue's side and was whispering something, but it seemed that this beautiful girl didn't pay him much attention at all.

"Academician Hao, how about we make a bet on which team will win the race" Mayor Wu wanted to lighten the mood and proactively spoke to Hao Zhonghua.

"Alright!" Hao Zhonghua readily agreed. He carefully observed the seven dragon boats in the distance, "I say that the black one at the far west will win..."

"And Mr. Zeng" Mayor Wu turned around and asked.

Zeng Xin snorted coldly without answering. A mere mayor couldn't do anything to him, so he wouldn’t give him any face.

Mayor Wu was displeased at being ignored and then looked towards Zhao Guang, "Mr. Zhao, what about you"

"I'll bet on the blue one..." Zhao Guang said.

"Hahaha, I’ll join too. I think it's going to be the green one," Grandma enthusiastically chimed in.

"Since that’s the case, then I will bet on our Donghai City team winning – the red one." Mayor Wu declared.

"Now that we’ve made bets, what are we betting with" Yue Yang asked with a smile.

"Let's put four dollars each," Mayor Wu said.

Zhao Guang and others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Zhao Yanzi suddenly nudged Xie Yujia with her elbow. She looked at Xie Yujia unfriendly, "Shall we make a bet too"

"What are we betting on" Xie Yujia replied calmly.

Zhao Yanzi glanced at Hao Ren standing beside Grandma and then turned to face Xie Yujia, "What do you thinkdor heading for the dressing room outside.Bang!A white light flashed in front of them, blocking their path.Zeng Yitao appeared before them wearing a shirt with black-and-white polka dots.Looking at hi...
