Supremely Talented Tyrant
Chapter 981 - 980: What Kind of Man?!

In Bai Yanrou's choked voice, there was a helplessness akin to a little girl's. Perhaps once, she had never imagined such a situation occurring, and her temperament had become somewhat stubborn. But now, with the family collapsing, as a woman she could only deeply hide her stubbornness, with only compromise emerging from the cruelty.

Seeing Bai Yanrou suddenly turn tearful like a pear blossom in the rain, Hao Jian's heart softened as well. He sighed quietly, knowing the pressure this woman was under. She believed that the entire family's fate rested on her actions this time.

She had once thought that the family, which seemed impossible to topple, had fallen one day, and she was helplessly begging the culprit.

"Actually..."

Hao Jian sighed softly, casually picked up a suit jacket from the sofa, and stepped in front of Bai Yanrou. A faintly sweet scent emanated from her, causing Hao Jian's breath to quicken slightly.

The dense masculine aura suddenly overwhelmed her, making Bai Yanrou's heart tense up. After all, she was just an inexperienced girl, and seeing Hao Jian come before her, she felt her courage wasn't as strong as she had imagined.

Her hand that held the suit trembled slightly as the jacket draped over Bai Yanrou, concealing the figure that would drive many men wild. After finishing, Hao Jian lowered his head, looked at Bai Yanrou and shook his head, saying helplessly, "Honestly, with a beautiful woman like you delivering herself, no man could resist. Besides, I'm not the saintly Liu Xiahui. But if I acted like that, I probably wouldn't be able to forgive myself!"

After saying this, Hao Jian stared into Bai Yanrou's misty yet pure eyes, chuckled lightly and said, "Besides, I, Hao Jian, don't have the habit of bullying women."

"Matters between men should naturally be resolved between men. Involving women, what kind of man would do that?"

If it weren't for the Bai Family causing trouble initially, Hao Jian wouldn't bother dealing with them. Now, thinking about how they sent a woman to plead for them, anger surged in Hao Jian's heart.

Upon hearing this, a blush appeared on Bai Yanrou's cheek, much to her surprise. Basically, Hao Jian was hostile toward the Bai Family, but he didn't care about these matters. This alone greatly improved Bai Yanrou's impression of Hao Jian.

"But my Bai Family... I... I beg you..." Suddenly, Bai Yanrou realized there were unresolved matters and was about to kneel, but just as she moved, a hand gently rested on her shoulder, halting her descent.

"Don't kneel, it won't change anything!" Watching Bai Yanrou, Hao Jian said helplessly. "Call her foolish, yet she's not really foolish. But why couldn't she see the simplicity of it?"

"You just should stop asking me for anything."

Helplessly, Hao Jian could only shake his head and say, "As long as your Bai Family doesn't trouble me, Hao Jian, naturally I won't deal with you..."

If Bai Yanrou hadn't come to him today, Hao Jian might have already forgotten about the Bai Family, since they had long fallen apart and were far from being anything he feared.

Nonetheless, Bai Yanrou came to see him, and after all her efforts, Hao Jian's softened heart was moved, making him say these words.

"Thank you..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanrou finally let go of her immense tension, breathed deeply as if relieved, not expecting Hao Jian to be so agreeable.

However, as soon as she spoke this sentence, a blush quickly spread across her ear, instantly reddening her earlobe.

Watching Bai Yanrou with her blush, a sense of heartbeat suddenly arose in Hao Jian's heart, which he quickly masked, his eyes regaining their clarity. He smiled slightly and said, "A word exchanged for your smile is worth it."

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Bai Yanrou's face flushed even more, lowering her head softly.

"Since there's nothing left, let's go. I'll take you to the hotel for some food. I assume you haven't eaten since coming here, right?" Seeing Bai Yanrou's eyes no longer misty, Hao Jian sighed lightly; he was indeed too soft-hearted, unable to bear women's tears.

"Hao Jian... Do you think I'm not beautiful enough?" Feeling the warmth from Hao Jian's hand on hers, Bai Yanrou's cheeks reddened once more. This time, she suppressed it and voiced her question, "Have you ever felt a little captivated by me?"

"Hehe, I've said before, for a beauty like you, no man wouldn't be captivated. I admit I did feel captivated, but I, Hao Jian, am not one to take advantage of someone's plight. Here as well, captivated but not forcing, everything is based on mutual consent..."

"You are a gentleman!"

After hearing Hao Jian's words, Bai Yanrou looked deeply at him and then earnestly said.

At this moment, Bai Yanrou also developed an initial attraction to Hao Jian compared to before. Right now, Hao Jian was undoubtedly a man of significant allure to her.

Hao Jian chuckled lightly and tapped Bai Yanrou's forehead gently with his finger, saying, "Alright, put your clothes on properly first. If you plan to go out like this, I wouldn't want you to step outside..."

Bai Yanrou still hadn't fully dressed, and going out like this would certainly draw a crowd of onlookers. Hao Jian didn't want to hit the news headlines, even though Bai Yanrou's figure was indeed quite spicy right now.

Even someone with his extensive experience with women would have certain thoughts about a beauty like Bai Yanrou. Others probably wouldn't have his level of self-control.

"Okay!"

When Hao Jian said these words, Bai Yanrou finally realized she wasn't properly dressed yet, immediately hurried to dress up, tidying up as well, checking if she'd missed anything. Thus, dragging on for half an hour, she finally got it done.

As for Hao Jian, he watched Bai Yanrou handle her clothes and hair right in front of him, and finally understood that all women had similar habits...

Afterward, Hao Jian took Bai Yanrou to dine at a five-star hotel in the city, then slowly walked out of the hotel hand in hand with Bai Yanrou.

"Alright, go home and rest early. You don't need to worry about matters with the Bai Family; I'll inform my people not to target the Bai Family anymore. And as for the Bai Family, I'll leave it to you to work on them."

As the saying goes, help people thoroughly and escort Buddha to the West. Since he promised Bai Yanrou not to trouble the Bai Family, Hao Jian naturally wanted to handle this perfectly. Even if the Bai Family can't regain their former glory, he would want those people to stop harassing them.

Even if Bai Yanrou didn't say it, Hao Jian could still see gratitude in her eyes.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, just as Hao Jian and Bai Yanrou reached the open ground outside the hotel, a large truck loaded with goods violently crashed through the hotel's doors and dashed towards Hao Jian and Bai Yanrou.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this situation, Hao Jian's expression also turned grim, thrown somewhat into disarray by the sudden change...

"Looks like I'll have to fight..."

Clenching his teeth, power surged into his legs, quickly erupted, and he reached out to grab Bai Yanrou, dodging to the side.

However, as the truck arrived so promptly, it was difficult for Hao Jian to make an accurate judgment. When he was flung backwards, landing on the ground, he hurriedly sheltered Bai Yanrou in front of him, trying to reduce her injuries.

At least the heat and pain from the friction between his back and the ground made Hao Jian grimace, inhaling sharply as it hurt so much!

"Boom!"

Having exerted maximum effort, Hao Jian finally managed to dodge the truck's collision with Bai Yanrou, but the pedestrians behind them weren't so fortunate.

This group had been chatting while walking after their meal. Who could have predicted the sudden disaster? The truck hit five or six people, sending them flying, and they lay lifeless on the ground not far away.

This scene was exactly what Hao Jian saw when he quickly got up. His eyes flashed with a cold gleam, but before he could stride forward, Bai Yanrou's breathing suddenly turned irregular in his arms. Seeing this, Hao Jian temporarily abandoned the idea of dealing with the truck driver.

He gently set Bai Yanrou down on the ground, reached out to grasp her left hand, and placed his hand on her body's vital acupuncture points, channeling a faint Qi Force into Bai Yanrou's body to assess her condition.

"Fortunately, there's no major issue!"

After a while, Hao Jian withdrew the Qi Force from Bai Yanrou's body and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. His heart also relaxed, realizing Bai Yanrou had just suffered a minor concussion. With some treatment and a few days of medication, she could recover.

"But we still need to deal with this incident first..."

After easing his heart, Hao Jian finally refocused his gaze on the truck that had stopped.
