Chapter 629 -631: Harbor City
Zhao Yuying knew that she represented Qin Hao now, and since she had done nothing wrong in this matter, she did not apologize.
The Yuan Family held vast influence in Zhudao City, so they could not simply let Zhao Yuying leave without an apology.

Even though Zhao Yuying had called the police, it was useless because the Yuan Family had not done anything overtly wrong and they had connections within the Zhudao City government, so calling the police was futile.
After hearing her story, Qin Hao said, “Ying, don’t panic, I’ll be arriving in Zhudao City soon, just send me the address, and I will come to find you once I get off the airplane.”
Zhao Yuying, both surprised and delighted, said, “Xiao Hao, you’re coming back?”
Qin Hao nodded, “I’ve handled everything there. There was no direct flight to Jianghai City, so I am coming to Zhudao City.”
The two of them talked for a while. Zhao Yuying was currently safe, but the Yuan Family had gathered some people from their associations to block her and her entourage from leaving.
The Yuan Family was at the top-tier echelon of families in Zhudao City, wielding power in the political, commercial, and underground worlds.
Were it not for Qin Hao’s reputation and influence, Zhao Yuying would have already suffered unspeakable horrors at their hands.
Being merely a female celebrity, the Yuan Family did not take her seriously. Among the popular female celebrities like Zhao Yuying, many had been groomed by the Yuan Family.
If they told them to go east, they would never dare head west.
Around five in the afternoon, a plane from Ban Guo Country landed at Zhu Bei Sea International Airport.
Exiting the airport, Qin Hao, Leng Xuan, and Han Zhuang took a taxi towards Shangri-La Hotel in Zhudao City.
Now, Qin Hao rarely appeared online, and all photos of him had disappeared; he had slowly faded from public view. The average person who still remembered him was very few, thus the driver did not recognize Qin Hao.
It took nearly an hour to arrive at Shangri-La Hotel, and the three of them took the elevator to the 28th floor.
Around room 2808, several security officers from the Flying Leopard Guard Battalion were stationed. As Qin Hao and the others approached the door, the officers recognized him and respectfully greeted, “Mr. Qin.”
Qin Hao knocked on the door, and it was soon opened by Zhao Yuying’s assistant, who was also her former manager.
She was startled to see Qin Hao, “Mr. Qin, you’ve arrived, please come in.”
She led Qin Hao into the room where Zhao Yuying was sitting in the suite’s living room, watching television.
Seeing Qin Hao enter, her face showed surprise and joy; she quickly got up and ran to hug him.
Qin Hao held her slender waist, smiling, “It’s alright now, Ying.”
Zhao Yuying let go of him, her cheeks turning slightly red, bashful yet adorable, “You must be tired after such a long flight, have a seat, and I will give you a massage.”
Zhao Yuying’s manager tactfully exited the room, not disturbing the two.
On the sofa, Qin Hao sat while Zhao Yuying massaged him.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door stood Zhao Yuying’s female assistant, “What’s the matter?”
The female assistant’s cheeks were slightly red as she said, “Mr. Qin, there is an award ceremony tonight, starting at seven, and it’s almost time.”
Qin Hao nodded, “Alright, I know.”
…
Back in the room, Qin Hao said to Zhao Yuying, “Do you have an award ceremony at seven?”
Zhao Yuying was momentarily stunned but quickly responded, “Yes, there is an award ceremony, let me get ready, and we can go together.”
“I’ll freshen up a bit.” She quickly went into the bedroom, washed up, and changed into new clothes.
She hooked her arm through Qin Hao’s as they exited the hotel, and a group of four cars headed toward the grand theater in Zhudao City, where the Zhudao City Film Festival awards ceremony was held.
The film festivals Zhao Yuying had attended in the preceding days were minor compared to the magnitude and influence of the Zhudao City Film Festival.
On the way, Leng Xuan said to Qin Hao, “Mr. Qin, there’s a car following us from the back, those are the people from the hotel surveillance.”
Qin Hao smiled slightly, “That’s fine, let them follow.”
Zhao Yuying nestled against Qin Hao’s shoulder and said, “These past few days, the Yuan Family has had people watching over me. As soon as I leave the hotel, there are a lot of people following. Some friends from the circle told me I can only leave if I apologize to the Yuan Family, otherwise I won’t be able to leave Zhudao City.”
Qin Hao scoffed coldly, a glint of ruthlessness flashing through his eyes. It seemed many people did not take him seriously.
Although he was the world’s richest man, his influence mostly came from companies like Xinghai Company and Star Domain Network.
This kind of influence was different from that which came from both the legitimate and underground worlds. The latter’s influence was far more terrifying and feared.
Even though the Yuan Family was not the world’s richest, more people feared them than feared Qin Hao. This was because the Yuan Family was ruthless, while having money like Qin Hao did not necessarily mean one dealt with enemies lethally.
Outside the grand theater in Zhudao City.
Qin Hao and Zhao Yuying disembarked from the car, and the parking lot was filled with various luxury cars, the least expensive being worth several million, while others were worth tens of millions.
It was now fifty-three minutes past six, and only their group headed into the theater.
Zhao Yuying let go of his arm, “There are many reporters inside, maybe you should wait for me outside.”
Qin Hao grasped her hand, “Don’t worry, they won’t dare to report it. Even if they do, it won’t show up online.”
Seeing his confidence, Zhao Yuying looped her arm through his again, “Alright then.”
At the door, Zhao Yuying’s manager took out an invitation, and through the corridor, they entered the grand theater, where the atmosphere was abuzz with many people chatting.
Everyone here was a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, the least being second-tier stars, along with screenwriters, directors, and business magnates.
The influence of the Zhudao City Film Festival was substantial, making its awards highly prestigious.
As Zhao Yuying walked in arm-in-arm with Qin Hao, many people noticed them, and the entire theater quickly quieted down, all eyes on Zhao Yuying and Qin Hao.
Qin Hao had actually come? And judging by their close demeanor, Zhao Yuying was definitely Qin Hao’s person.
Many people turned to look in another direction, where business moguls were seated, and among them were the members of the Yuan Family.
