Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 907 - 906: Tomorrow at 12 PM Noon

A projection screen slowly unfurled from a corner of the courtyard. Soon, the surveillance video stored on the memory card began to play...

"This... this…"

As time passed, the scenes in the video changed repeatedly. From the beginning, Dong Aiguo's son appeared nervous upon realizing someone had broken into the villa, to Hao Jian wordlessly killing Dong Aiguo's son with bloodshot eyes and an expressionless face.

"Because you hit my brother..."

"But I don't know how to drive!"

"Beep!"

When the video ended, the soldier removed the memory card. The projection screen was slowly rolled back up. Placing the memory card on the stone table, the soldier respectfully departed from the courtyard.

He knew that he couldn't stay to hear the conversations that would follow. After completing his task, he turned and left Dong Aiguo's premises.

After the soldier left, the courtyard fell silent once again. Only the soft breeze rustling the leaves broke the stillness, accompanied by the gradually heavy breathing of Dong Aiguo.

Sitting at the stone table, Ye Wenying smiled faintly as he gazed at Dong Aiguo. His eyes occasionally flashed with a keen glint. After watching the video, he was no longer worried that Dong Aiguo wouldn't cooperate.

"Huff…"

After a few minutes, Dong Aiguo let out a heavy sigh. Unlike other fathers who might fly into a rage upon learning how their son had died, he remained composed. He knew that anger wouldn't resolve anything now. He was a soldier, trained to remain rational in any situation.

A wrong decision could lead to irreparable consequences, especially with Ye Wenying present...

"Tell me, what's your plan?"

Since Ye Wenying dared to show him this video, it signaled they shared the same goal. Presently, Dong Aiguo's strongest desire was to deal with Hao Jian. He hated Hao Jian for killing his son and was confident Ye Wenying's hatred for Hao Jian was no less than his own.

After all, the Ye Family had recently suffered a blow from Hao Jian, not to mention prior disputes. It was safe to say the animosity between the Ye Family and Hao Jian had escalated beyond reconciliation.

"With Elder Dong's power, we can capture Hao Jian swiftly and use this video to convict him—get him sentenced to death!" Ye Wenying's lips curved into a cruel smile as he spoke grimly.

Upon hearing this, Dong Aiguo's eyes flashed coldly, his expression growing even darker. He paused for a moment before nodding, then sneered, "I was wondering why a Young Master of the Ye Family would approach an old man like me. Now I see your plan: borrowing my forces for your 'borrowed knife' strategy."

"The entire Capital City and even the upper circles of major cities know about the Ye Family's feud with Hao Jian. You people can't wait to eliminate him. And now, you come seeking help from this old man…"

At this, Ye Wenying chuckled, his gaze fixed on Dong Aiguo as he tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Staring intensely at Dong Aiguo, he said slowly, "Does Elder Dong really intend to pass up this opportunity to eliminate Hao Jian once and for all?!"

"Ha ha!"

Dong Aiguo burst into laughter upon hearing this. Ye Wenying followed suit with his own laughter, but suddenly, Dong Aiguo's gaze sharpened abruptly. He locked his eyes on Ye Wenying and smirked, "I'm just curious, how did Ye Shao get hold of this video?!"

"Over a hundred highly-trained soldiers guard my son's villa. I don't believe someone with your abilities could infiltrate it and install a camera there!"

From the moment he first saw the video, Dong Aiguo had been deliberating how Ye Wenying might have obtained it. Now that he decided to ask directly, he didn't hold back.

"I don't think it's necessary to go into detail, Elder Dong. What's critical now is using this video to capture Hao Jian!" Startled at first by the question, Ye Wenying quickly composed himself and replied with a cold glance at Dong Aiguo.

Ye Wenying knew that if Dong Aiguo learned the truth—that everything had been orchestrated by him—he wouldn't live much longer. The Ye Family wouldn't dare defy Dong Aiguo to protect him, considering Dong was the commander of a military district, while the Ye Family was merely a clan.

If Dong Aiguo uncovered the truth, he might even spare Hao Jian. Thus, Ye Wenying couldn't risk revealing any details.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Ye Wenying's refusal to elaborate, Dong Aiguo didn't press further. The video in Ye Wenying's possession held the leverage to implicate Hao Jian. Dong Aiguo knew he must capture Hao Jian to prove no one could challenge him without paying the price.

"Since Elder Dong has agreed, I'll go prepare now. I hope you can expedite preparations on your end; after all, delays invite complications!" Relieved to have swayed Dong Aiguo, Ye Wenying exhaled quietly, smiled, and reached out his hand.

"I don't need your instructions; I know what to do! My men will head to Hua City by noon tomorrow to arrest Hao Jian!"

"Bring in my guest's escort!"

Dong Aiguo snorted coldly, swatted away Ye Wenying's extended hand, and slowly got up, retreating into his room without a backward glance.

"Hmph!"

Ignored in such a manner, Ye Wenying's face darkened. After watching Dong Aiguo shut the door, he let out a heavy snort, turning to leave the courtyard with the military escort leading him out.

"Ye Shao, are you alright?"

Two bodyguards who had been watching anxiously from the entrance rushed over as they saw Ye Wenying emerge, their faces filled with concern.

"Let's go!"

Ye Wenying didn't want to say anything further. Casting a cold glance at the courtyard behind him, he snorted and stepped into the car. The two bodyguards exchanged glances before hurriedly climbing in after him.

"Phew!"

Once everyone was seated, the driver started the car and sped off from the military district...

"Tomorrow at noon..."

As he left the district, Ye Wenying sat in his car, pondering Dong Aiguo's timeline. After a long while, his lips curled into a sinister smile, and his fist clenched slowly as he muttered, "Hao Jian, Hao Jian! This time, you're caught in my net!"

"You eliminated my informants last time, forcing me to train new ones! You owe me countless debts that I'll make sure you repay!"

The car sped down the road as Ye Wenying's thoughts raced to Hua City and Hao Jian, already scheming how he'd torment Hao Jian after capturing him!

"Hao Jian, enjoy your remaining time alive. With this video and a little maneuvering, I'll eliminate you in the blink of an eye!"

Meanwhile, back in his sparsely furnished and simple living room, Dong Aiguo swung his fist heavily into a nearby marble column. The entire house shook violently. When Dong Aiguo withdrew his fist, he was astonished to see a shallow fist imprint left on the marble column, faint traces of killing intent lingering there.

"Beep beep beep beep…"

Early next morning, Hao Jian, still keeping vigil over Li He in the hospital, was abruptly awakened by the sound of police sirens blaring downstairs. Irritated, he muttered, "Damn it, who the hell isn't letting people sleep at this hour? This is a hospital! How can they disturb the patients' rest? Can they afford to face the consequences?"

"Finally had a chance to sleep anytime I want, and now I'm rudely awakened first thing in the morning. Damn it!" Li He, lying in bed, opened his weary eyes in frustration and cursed loudly upon hearing the constant sirens outside.

"I'll go take a look!"

Equally annoyed, Hao Jian stood up, told Li He he'd check it out, and started toward the hospital room's door. Just as he approached the door...

"Bang!"

The door suddenly flew open with a loud crash. A group of Special Forces soldiers armed with assault rifles stormed in, instantly surrounding Hao Jian. Both Hao Jian and Li He stared in stunned disbelief.

"Hao Jian, what's going on? Why are they targeting you?"

The soldiers were clearly focused on Hao Jian, prompting Li He to comment in surprise, though his tone carried a hint of mockery.

"How the hell would I know what they're up to?"

Annoyed by Li He's jest, Hao Jian shot him an irritated look. If not for his injuries, Hao Jian would've broken through the soldiers' ranks and given Li He a beating.

"Explain yourselves. Why are you doing this?"

Facing the soldiers, Hao Jian's expression hardened. He scanned them calmly, his tone laced with restrained anger.

"Under orders from General Dong to apprehend murderer Hao Jian!"

One soldier quickly uttered the command before aiming his weapon at Hao Jian without a trace of hesitation.

"Dong Aiguo?"

Upon hearing the name, flashes of recognition sparked in Hao Jian's mind...
