Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 878 - 877: Don't Be In a Hurry

Laughter and chatter filled the car, with Hao Jian constantly bickering with Che Xiaoxiao, and even Zhao Yating joined the 'condemnation' of Hao Jian.

Amidst the laughter, the car reached its destination for the night, Xinyuan KTV.

The usual vibes, the brightly colored exterior, the vibrating walls that constantly emitted sound—all greeted them as they walked into the KTV. They were met with a crowd sporting dyed hair, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, and a ruffian-like demeanor. From time to time, loud curses could be heard, adding to the already noisy atmosphere.

If one looked closely, most of these individuals were teenagers, seventeen or eighteen, some even as young as fifteen or sixteen years old. The 'oldest' among them was a man in his mid-twenties.

With just a glance, Hao Jian led Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating to a counter not too far away, intending to check what types of rooms were available.

The moment Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating, two beautiful women, entered the KTV's lobby, it was like a cool breeze in the midst of a scorching summer, drawing awe-struck stares from many men.

But seeing Hao Jian beside them, some immediately chickened out, particularly the underage boys. They might puff themselves up and get scrappy, even daring to confront another man, but they felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of Hao Jian, which left them fearful and hesitant to make a move. The apparent ringleader of the group, seeing his subordinates react this way, felt a surge of anger but couldn't muster the courage to harass the two women.

Hao Jian had no idea what these people were thinking. He had already booked a small room and ordered some snacks. Considering that red wine and such didn't quite fit the scene, he decided not to order any. Then, the three of them, led by a service staff member, made their way to their room.

After Hao Jian and his companions departed, a pair of eyes shining in a corner dimmed. Quiet footsteps followed, and out stepped a man in his thirties, portly, with a handlebar mustache hanging off the corners of his mouth. He wore the latest custom-made Armani suit, but the expression on his face undermined the elegance.

His presence created an uncomfortable atmosphere, yet whether it was the other patrons or the service staff, all showed a slight change in expression at his appearance. The man who had been sitting on the sofa, upon noticing him, frowned slightly and quickly ushered his 'underlings' away.

As they left, he turned his head back, a cold glint in his eyes briefly visible before it was well concealed, unnoticed by anyone, not even his followers.

This man, known as Wu Ming, had a significant relationship with the manager of Xinyuan KTV, Zhao Da—so close that they might as well be wearing the same trousers. He had once, by chance, crossed paths with Wu Ming while hunting for beauties in this KTV. Initially considering him merely a wealthy man, he hadn't realized Wu Ming had strong backing.

Furthermore, since this KTV was controlled by the other party and his henchmen were present, he ended up getting beaten to internal injury and thrown out.

The hatred he harbored for Fatty only intensified, but he had recently compromised to secure a foothold in Hua City, becoming a covert subordinate in Xinyuan KTV—a fact unknown even to his own gang.

In another light, he and Wu Ming were also colleagues. Unfortunately, unable to swallow his pride after the last brawl, he had no choice but to leave upon Wu Ming's arrival.

"Qian Yun, that little punk, actually got scared off by me?"

Noticing the other man's departure brought a cold glance from Wu Ming, who then disdainfully spat and turned his head with satisfaction. He knocked on the counter, tilting his head toward the direction in which Hao Jian and the others had left. He asked, "Which room did those beauties just book?"

Upon hearing this, the receptionist put on a smile, her eyes betraying a flash of disgust, but she still answered with a smile, "Those three guests just booked a small room, located at 7B24."

Wu Ming's predilection was notorious among the staff, using his connection with the KTV's manager to occasionally hunt for beauties. He started subtly, but with frequent visits, he became brazen, to the point of blatantly intending to engage in such acts in the KTV. And after every incident, it was these service staff who had to apologize to the guests—unable to confront Wu Ming, they took out their frustration on the employees.

Therefore, due to Wu Ming, they had suffered quite a bit and held an intense aversion toward him.

"7B24, huh?"

Wu Ming nodded and tapped on the desk, "Book me a room next to hers."

"Understood."

Soon, the receptionist processed the information and sent a staff member to guide him there.

As for the happenings at the counter, Hao Jian and the others were unaware, let alone the backstory of Xinyuan KTV—they were all first-timers to this establishment.

"You guys have fun here; I'll be back shortly."

Not long after entering the room, the attendant also brought in the snacks and fruit platters. Hao Jian casually picked up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and then suddenly remembered something. He waved to Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating, picked up his phone, and walked outside.

"So secretive."

Seeing Hao Jian leave, Che Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily, but before she could finish her complaint, Zhao Yating reached for the snacks beside her and laughed, "This guy has been doing this not just for a day or two. There are some things we can't and shouldn't listen to; he's doing it for our own good."

Compared to Che Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yating obviously saw things more clearly. There were many things Hao Jian was involved in that the two girls should not come into contact with, like Dragon Tooth, and the matters concerning the Ministry of Defense.

These matters were basically state secrets, and perhaps they would have the opportunity to discuss them with them in the future, but definitely not now.

"Eh? Isn't that the guy who was with those two beauties just now?"

After Hao Jian left the room, Wu Ming also arrived at the room next to Hao Jian's, led by an attendant. Before he could open the door to enter, Hao Jian walked out from the adjacent door, causing Wu Ming's already small eyes to narrow slightly.

Watching Hao Jian walk away, a surge of thoughts filled Wu Ming's mind. He had been pondering how to get rid of Hao Jian, and now that the man had left on his own, the opportunity had presented itself. If not now, then when?!

Hehe!

Wu Ming gestured for the attendant to leave, then walked to the door of Hao Jian's KTV room, pulled it open, and stepped inside.

"Hao Jian, how come you're back so..."

Hearing noise at the door, Che Xiaoxiao, who had been singing with Zhao Yating, stopped mid-song, turned her head with a surprised look toward the door, but before she could finish her sentence, her expression froze, and pointing at Wu Ming, she asked, "Who are you?"

"Cough cough, lovely ladies, I am Wu Ming... from this place..."

Seeing that only Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating were in the KTV room, Wu Ming's thoughts became active. He quickly assumed what he thought was a gentlemanly demeanor, even inclining his body slightly and then coughing a few times before speaking.

"I don't care who you are, get out of here now!"

Che Xiaoxiao was not so easy to talk to. With just one glance at this man, she felt he was incredibly sleazy, not even letting Wu Ming finish speaking, she stood up angrily and shouted lightly at Wu Ming.

"Oh? Daring to be so fierce in my territory? Not bad, I like the spirit!" Che Xiaoxiao's tactic might work on ordinary people, but it's a pity that for a creature dominated by his lower half like Wu Ming, why would he care about such things?!

In these past years, relying on his methods and status, he has spoiled countless women, some of whom may have willingly accepted him because of his wealth or position, but most of them were forced by him. Only because there was no recourse for complaints or appeals, the matters quietened down.

"Thump thump thump!"

Taking swift strides, Wu Ming quickly walked forward. The room was already small, and with just a few steps, he was in front of Che Xiaoxiao, reaching out to grab her still raised hand.

"Let go of me!"

Che Xiaoxiao didn't expect this man to be so bold. Startled, Zhao Yating also exclaimed, "You beast, let go of Xiaoxiao!"

"Haha! Beautiful lady, don't be anxious. Let me handle this beauty first, and then come discuss life with you!" After grabbing Che Xiaoxiao, Wu Ming finally revealed his true nature. He didn't care about the resistance of the two women at all. Were they not just two women? Could he, a grown man, not deal with two feeble women?!

The soft touch in his hands led Wu Ming into wild fantasies, and the corners of his mouth curled up to show a lecherous smile. His small eyes twinkled with a vile gleam.

"My dear, I have a very significant relationship with the owner of this KTV. If you dare to resist, do you believe I can make it so you can't leave this KTV?"

This caliber of beauty, unlike those he had played with before, was not on the same level. Wu Ming was somewhat inclined to take Che Xiaoxiao then and there.

"I'll give you twenty thousand yuan a month for your upkeep, I'll take you under my care. How about that? The monthly salary of an average person isn't necessarily twenty thousand yuan, and all you have to do is spread your legs at home."
