Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 887 - 886: Not So Concerned

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me to handle!"

Hao Jian quickly soothed Shu Ya and calmed her emotions. After a slew of assurances, Shu Ya's mood slowly stabilized, and she agreed to Hao Jian.

"Phew... finally resolved..."

Upon hanging up the phone, a look of relief appeared on Hao Jian's face, but it was quickly replaced by gravity. Without any justified reason, his goods were detained—any fool could see that this was a deliberate provocation.

And now, the only person who could so blatantly make a move at Customs, and who also had a conflict with him, could only be that military bigwig from the army, Dong Aiguo...

"Since you want to play, then I, Hao Jian, will properly accompany you in this game!"

A cold voice slowly spread out, and a touch of icy coldness flashed through Hao Jian's eyes. A faint killing intent swirled around him, exuding an intimidating aura.

Fortunately, not many people usually pass by this area, otherwise, it would have been chaos here by now.

If they come at me openly, I'm not necessarily afraid of that guy, but it is harder to guard against the moves made in secret. However, now it seems this guy might just be trying to lure me in—a clear and overt plot.

The current situation is such that I, Hao Jian, must go there, not only because of Shu Ya's feelings and the reputation of Shu Ya Group, but also because it's a showdown between me and that military bigwig.

A real fight is exactly what I enjoy the most!

"Secretary Zhang, there's something I need your help with..."

Pulling out his phone, Hao Jian dialed Secretary Zhang's number. This time he was preparing to step onto their turf, and if he went in naively, he could get taken out without even knowing who did it.

Only with a heavy-hitter by his side would those people not dare to act rashly. And thinking it over, Hao Jian felt that Secretary Zhang was the most suitable. Even though he doesn't have any military rank or grade, he is the subordinate of the Minister of Defense, and a close confidant at that.

As long as Secretary Zhang is present, even Dong Aiguo would have to consider his actions carefully, since after all, Secretary Zhang is the spokesperson for the Minister of Defense outside.

This time, Hao Jian's intention is very straightforward: to fight! Fight until they yield, fight until they are afraid!

"Haha, sure thing, sure thing!"

Upon receiving a call from Hao Jian, Secretary Zhang was organizing things but stopped his work. Hearing that Hao Jian needed his help, his eyes immediately sparkled, saying, "Is it about that matter with Dong Aiguo?"

"Uh..."

Now it was Hao Jian's turn to be surprised. How did he know about this? Could it be that this guy had also planted spies in his own territory?

"Don't be so surprised. I originally didn't know about this matter. It was mainly because the Minister, the elder, attended a gathering and accidentally heard the helplessness of the telecom giants. He asked me to investigate, and then I found out you were making trouble again..."

Secretary Zhang was somewhat speechless about Hao Jian, feeling that Hao Jian was both a disaster star and a lucky star. Wherever this guy went, there would be trouble. The last time he was in the USA, now, shortly after returning, he had killed the son of a military world bigwig.

If it weren't for the minister, the elder, having no business and going out for a walk, he would not have known this guy had stirred up trouble again. Otherwise, Secretary Zhang would have had to run around once more.

No matter what, Hao Jian is someone the minister cares about, and if something happens, he needs to be looked after. Besides, after the task Hao Jian completed last time, he also promised to help him properly. ............

Even though this guy had just wiped out half of the Ye Family's elite, he still had the audacity to forcefully suppress the matter.

"Ahaha! No choice, they asked for it by provoking me!"

Hearing Secretary Zhang's complaining tone, Hao Jian gave a dry laugh and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Secretary Zhang, come with me to the military base tomorrow. I want to see Dong Aiguo. That batch of goods of mine is still in his hands..."

Since Capital City is quite a distance from Hua City, Hao Jian also needs to prepare some tools. Things like firearms are a must, and also some small hidden weapons, daggers and such.

"Don't worry, with me around, that old guy wouldn't dare to mess around. But you shouldn't take things too far either, after all, you're the one at fault in the first place..."

Secretary Zhang also had his concerns, saying: "No matter how you put it, he's a person who has made contributions to the country. I really don't want to see someone like that ruined by your hands. It would be difficult for me to explain this to my superiors..."

"Secretary Zhang, rest assured, do you not know how I, Hao Jian, handle things? This time, I only want to explain things to that old man, his son's death was truly an accident. It was all Ye Wenying's fault for framing me!"

Hao Jian also felt helpless, originally, a simple matter had been maliciously twisted by others, and it was such a low-level method of framing at that. If only he had been more calm at that moment and thought things through, perhaps none of this would have happened. But now it was already too late, the man was dead.

"Right, about the matter of those hundred-plus bodyguards, you were really ruthless. Sigh, I won't say more. Just provide some compensation to their families later on. Don't expect the Minister himself to clean up your mess anymore."

"Okay, okay, the compensation is easy to handle. I'll have someone transfer 1.5 billion to your account, give each person 10 million, and you can handle any surplus as you see fit."

The incident was provoked by him, and he needed to face the consequences. Hao Jian knew what to do. The money was merely to help the soldiers' families live a little better. He also planned to have Spice Ginger and others assist the families of those soldiers in various ways.

After all, the incident occurred due to his negligence, and to some extent, many people were hurt. He must make amends.

If they were utterly vile, Hao Jian would kill them without a second glance. Yet now, those who had died were innocent bodyguards, and for Hao Jian to say he did not feel a trace of guilt would be impossible.

"Hmm, with so much money, it should be enough." Secretary Zhang also nodded his head. Sometimes, when soldiers died accidentally during missions, the compensation provided by the state to their families was not even this much. Hao Jian doing this much was already commendable.

It was precisely Hao Jian's clear sense of gratitude and grudge that won the Minister's approval and led him to help solve some of Hao Jian's tricky problems unreservedly.

Hao Jian's way of conducting himself was like the traditional swordsman of ancient times. Unfortunately, in today's society, under the rule of law, such people were almost extinct.

That same night, Hao Jian boarded a plane to the Capital City, and by the time he arrived, it was already the middle of the night. He didn't want to disturb Secretary Zhang, so he found a hotel and checked in.

On his way there, Hao Jian had Spice Ginger continue to search for Ye Wenying's location, unyielding in allowing that guy to continue making trouble in Hua City. For Hao Jian's order, Spice Ginger assured with a pat on his chest, promising that after a previous mistake, he would be even more diligent in completing the tasks Hao Jian assigned this time.

The next morning, Hao Jian went to the coffee shop at the address given by Secretary Zhang. Casually scanning the room, he quickly spotted Secretary Zhang sitting by the window drinking coffee. Hao Jian strode over.

"You're here?"

Seeing Hao Jian sit down on the sofa across from him, Secretary Zhang smiled faintly and pointed to the menu beside him, saying, "Since you're here, don't be in a rush. Join me for coffee first. Of course, if you want to have breakfast, I don't mind. After all, you need to eat well to have the energy to work."

"How come you've changed your ways just in the few days I haven't seen you?"

Hearing Secretary Zhang's teasing, Hao Jian was somewhat surprised. Then he grabbed the menu, ordered the most expensive dishes, and closed the menu.

Seeing what Hao Jian ordered, Secretary Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly and sighed bitterly, "You're really not shy, are you? Going straight for the most expensive dishes in the restaurant..."

"When someone else is paying, of course I'll order the most expensive, otherwise it's not worth it!"

"Alright, your fortune is hundreds of times larger than mine, and yet you have the face to let me pay the bill?" Left speechless by Hao Jian's words, Secretary Zhang could only let out a helpless chuckle.

"Just the nod of your head, and I don't believe those guys won't pay up..."

Hearing this, Hao Jian spread his hands and continued, "Secretary Zhang, you are the old man's confidant. With just a gesture from you, those businessmen who need your favor will all hurriedly come bearing various benefits to find you!"

"Enough, I can't break that rule, and the Minister doesn't like it, after all, doing so... leaves one vulnerable to being incriminated…" Secretary Zhang raised his hand to stop Hao Jian from continuing the conversation and shook his head slightly.

Hearing this, Hao Jian nodded. Right then, the dishes he had ordered were served. They looked so appetizing that it was sure to whet anyone's appetite, let alone Hao Jian, who hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Hao Jian understood what Secretary Zhang meant; to avoid giving others leverage, one must not expose any weaknesses and avoid touching taboos.

For people at their level, every step was taken with caution, wary of the day when an outside force would frame them and jeopardize their position.

After half an hour, Hao Jian finished his breakfast, snapped his fingers for a server, and asked for a cup of strong coffee, sipping it quietly.

Another half hour later, Secretary Zhang picked up his briefcase with a helpless shake of his head, "Why do I feel like you're not too concerned about this..."
