Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 863 - 862: My Friends are Here

"Damn it! I want to see who's tougher, you or the police!"

Pocketing his phone, Xiao Hao's face was full of malice as he looked at Hao Jian with anger. His hand clenched and unclenched, torn between wanting to confront Hao Jian to vent his fury and the rational understanding that he would just be thrown out again.

Forcing down his rage, he walked over to his wife and saw her lying unconscious under a tree. His anger deepened.

"Wuuu..."

Soon, the sound of police sirens approached from afar, making the faces of the neighbors change as they instinctively stepped back. They didn't want to get involved and end up wrongly arrested by the police.

"Hey, wife, get up. Stop pretending."

Hearing the distant police sirens, a hint of pleasure crossed Xiao Hao's face as he quickly patted his recovering aunt.

"What are you doing! I want that kid dead! He actually demolished our house!"

After Xiao Hao's persistent calling, his aunt slowly got up, her face ugly from rubbing the lump on her head. She looked towards Hao Jian with fury, intent on continuing the confrontation, but before she could take a step, her husband held her back, which only added to her dissatisfaction as she muttered sharply.

"I've already informed my friend who works at the police station, and he should be the one leading the team here now!" said Xiao Hao with a forced smile. If they had been capable of beating that youngster, they wouldn't have needed backup.

At these words, his aunt's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Xiao Hao excitedly, asking, "Can he really catch that kid?!"

Thinking it over, Xiao Hao nodded and said with fury in his eyes, "It looks like this youngster isn't someone powerful or influential, and my friend holds a small official position in the police station. Isn't capturing such a brat as easy as reaching out and grabbing him?"

With Xiao Hao's confirmation, the aunt's furious face revealed a trace of excitement. She glared at Hao Jian, gritting her teeth, "We must make him pay for offending us!"

"Heh, with my friend around, that's a given!" Xiao Hao nodded vigorously, his mouth curling into a cruel smile, "When the time comes, we can't let them brush off the matter of the house being demolished. As long as we pin it on him, we'll get a new house without spending a dime!"

"Right, we can't let that kid off so easily!" The aunt agreed, nodding eagerly with joy on her face. Her anger from being hit by Hao Jian and the house demolition seemed to ebb away as she suddenly remembered something, "And we can't let that old lady off either. After all, I've been so good to her, and she still betrayed us!"

"Hmph! Forget about the old lady. If we accidentally break her down, we won't be able to escape the responsibility!"

Though he really wanted to teach his mother a lesson for not siding with him, considering her old age and how they'd just thrown her out, her health could easily deteriorate. If anything happened to her because of him, no amount of excuses would help.

"They're here!"

As they were talking, three police cars arrived on the scene. Seeing a familiar figure step down from one of the cars, Xiao Hao's eyes brightened. Wasn't that his friend?!

He was about to step forward to greet his friend, but before he could take a step, he saw his friend respectfully open the rear car door for a stern, burly man.

"The chief of the Raojin District branch?!"

Seeing the newcomer, Xiao Hao's face changed, then lit up with great joy. He had originally thought that only his friend would come, but the person who arrived turned out to be the branch chief, a big shot for them!

Haha! With the backing of the chief, let's see how you can run now!

Xiao Hao proudly looked towards Hao Jian, already firmly counting the chief as being on his side. After all, given the current situation, how could the chief be on anyone else's side but his? Surely he wouldn't side with some kid?!

"Tap tap tap..."

The very next moment, seeing the chief approaching, Xiao Hao promptly straightened his clothes, then, with his wife beside him wearing a happy face, walked toward his friend, extending a hand for a greeting.

"Chief..."

"Swoosh..."

But the chief didn't even glance at Xiao Hao, seeming baffled as he looked at them, wondering where these two beggars had come from.

Passing the two of them, the chief hurriedly ran to Hao Jian, bowing respectfully and asked, "Young Master Hao, what brings you here?"

"Heh, what's the matter, can't I be here?"

Hao Jian chuckled and shook his head. This was Feng Zhuang, the chief of the Raojin District branch of the Hua City Police Station, a man with quite some methods but limited by his position.

"Of course not, sir. The district head called me personally, said you were here, and I came right over without stopping!" Feng Zhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was relieved he had arrived early. If Young Master Hao held a grudge against him, how would he survive?

The reason he was able to arrive so quickly was that he had received a call from one of his subordinates saying he was heading this way, and he himself had been nearby dealing with other matters. As soon as he heard his subordinate was near Hao Jian's location, he ordered him to come and pick him up immediately. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so swiftly.

Looking at it now, it's a relief, there's still time...

"Whoosh!"

Many of the onlookers from the neighborhood recognized the director. After getting to know a bit more about him, they were aware of his identity. Now seeing him showing such respect to this young man, disbelief was written all over everyone's face.

What followed was a full dose of envy and schadenfreude. They envied how the Xiao Family's girl had snagged a connection with Hao Jian, the big tree, and took delight in the calamity that befell Xiao Hao's eldest brother and his wife for offending such a person. Now there seemed to be a great drama unfolding!

"Little He!"

Little He, whose real name was He Wei, a friend of Xiao Hao's and around forty years old, had also received Xiao Hao's phone call. After hearing Xiao Hao's house had been demolished, he immediately rushed over from the police station, unexpectedly to encounter this situation...

Looking at the flattened building not far away, He Wei also felt somewhat helpless. Now, being stopped by the director here, any help from him would be too late...

He truly didn't understand why the director was so respectful to such a young man who appeared to be in his twenties. Could it be a descendant of some high-ranking official?

While he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the director calling him. He shivered all over and promptly responded, saying, "Director, you called!"

"Don't you have something to take care of? Go and handle your business!"

Remembering that his subordinate had things to deal with, Feng Zhuang decided to have him finish his tasks first. Meanwhile, he planned to go have a tea with Hao Jian and chat for a bit, hoping to leave a good impression on him, which would greatly benefit his career.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, He Wei nodded quickly and then glanced around. Behind them, Xiao Hao and his wife stood there, dumbfounded...

"Hehe, I think that won't be necessary. The issue he needs to address is probably related to me."

Hao Jian had noticed the exchange of glances between He Wei and Xiao Hao and lightly chuckled while touching his nose, saying, "The matter you need to sort out is about this building, right?"

Saying this, Hao Jian also pointed at the building that had been turned into ruins.

The bulldozer team led by Old Black had not stayed after completing the demolition due to needing the equipment for another construction project. They resumed work on their own site. Hao Jian didn't stop them; after all, they had given him a huge favor. At worst, he would transfer some money to their company's account later as a payment for their services.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing this, He Wei was taken aback, wondering how this person knew what he was supposed to do.

"Little He, Young Master Hao is speaking to you!"

Seeing He Wei lose focus in front of Hao Jian not once but twice, Feng Zhuang became somewhat angry and sternly said.

This was Young Master Hao! Even the chief of Hua City Police Station would need to wait for his good mood for a meeting. The chance Feng Zhuang had to talk to him did not come easily! If his subordinate spoiled this, he would have nowhere to turn for comfort.

"Ah?! What?!"

He Wei's expression changed dramatically, and then, seeing his superior's slightly contorted face, his heart trembled. He hurriedly said, "Yes, that's right! My friend's building was demolished; he asked me to come and help..."

"Is your friend named Xiao Hao?"

Hao Jian looked at Xiao Hao in the distance, barely concealing a smile, then glanced at He Wei and spoke.

Feeling the look from Hao Jian, Xiao Hao's complexion slightly changed. The director was so respectful towards him, and he had been regretting it ever since. Now, seeing Hao Jian's gaze upon him, cold sweat beaded his forehead and his legs trembled.

"Yes!"

He Wei nodded, then seemingly recalling something, his expression abruptly changed. He pointed at Hao Jian and exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that you're the one who demolished Xiao Hao's house?!"

"He Wei! Mind your manners!"

He Wei's alarmist reaction had already worried Feng Zhuang, and now seeing him pointing at Hao Jian, Feng Zhuang's face went white as he rebuked him sharply.

This was in front of Young Master Hao! How could he act so improperly?! If Young Master Hao took offense, that would be terrible!

Feng Zhuang stole a glance at Hao Jian's expression and, finding that he hadn't taken it to heart, he sighed with relief.
