Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1071 - 1070: I... I do!

Chapter 1071 -1070: I… I do!

“Let’s go, let me escort you home.”

After giving Brother Spice Ginger his orders, Hao Jian put away his phone and turned to look at Li Wen, smiling gently.

“Okay.”

Li Wen nodded and was just about to step forward when she suddenly paused, pointing at Brother Hu and the others lying on the ground, and asked in confusion, “What about Brother Hu and his men?”

“Didn’t I say? Soon someone will deal with them, and you’ll never hear the name Brother Hu in Sanchuan City again!” Glancing at Brother Hu indifferently, Hao Jian’s lips curved into a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Wen subconsciously exhaled, realizing her own moment of imbalance, she carefully looked at Hao Jian, worried that he might mind something.

From Hao Jian’s way of handling things and his calm demeanor in any situation, Li Wen thought that Hao Jian’s identity was not simple. Even being able to say that Brother Hu wouldn’t appear before her implied a mysterious identity that left her a bit confused.

On one hand, she wanted to thank Hao Jian, but on the other, she was worried about the disparity in their statuses. In her eyes, Hao Jian was like a prince high above, while she was just someone scraping by at the bottom of society.

The gap between them seemed like the endless distance between heaven and earth.

“Haha!”

Seeing Li Wen being so cautious, Hao Jian chuckled lightly, then took her by the arm to lead her out of the alley, laughing as they walked, “You don’t need to worry about my identity; you just need to know I’m helping you this time.”

“We’re friends, aren’t we?”

When he said this, Hao Jian suddenly stopped, fixing his gaze intensely on Li Wen, sincerity evident in his eyes.

In Hao Jian’s view, the barriers between people are not about identity but about their ideologies. As the saying goes, ‘different paths may lead to different strategies.’ When ideologies differ, regardless of whether your status is equal, even if you can maintain a certain connection, there’s a high chance of splitting up because of those differences.

As for having the same path, it probably doesn’t need explaining, much like the current situation between Hao Jian and Li Wen.

“Are we… friends?”

Facing Hao Jian’s gaze, Li Wen looked away a bit, not daring to meet his eyes, and her shy demeanor made her seem pitiful.

“But we just met…”

Hearing this, Hao Jian laughed wryly, then reached out and gently patted Li Wen’s shoulder, chuckling, “The length of time we’ve known each other doesn’t mean anything; you should know this truth.”

“If you really feel there’s something troubling, just think of me as someone you met at a bar—maybe that would put your mind at ease.”

Touching his nose, Hao Jian said this helplessly, wondering how many people in this world would wish to be his friend, yet with Li Wen, it seemed he had to ask her to be one.

“Hehe, whatever you say, I’ll go with it; I’m not bothered.”

Finding the sudden seriousness of the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable, Li Wen laughed after Hao Jian said this, waving her small hand in a casual manner.

“Let’s go.”

Shaking his head, Hao Jian hailed a cab that happened to be passing by and got in with Li Wen.

“Tell him yourself.”

Hao Jian didn’t actually know where Li Wen lived, so after getting in the car, he turned to her and shrugged.

“Okay.”

Li Wen then gave the driver an address. The driver thought for a moment; the place was a bit far but still nodded—it was fortunate to pick up a fare in such a remote area.

Time flew, and as the car sped along, Brother Spice Ginger finally appeared at the highway exit of Sanchuan City with his entourage.

“Doggie, have you found their location?”

As their twenty-car convoy exited the highway, Brother Spice Ginger glanced at his subordinate in the front passenger seat and asked in a deep voice.

“According to reports from our informants in Sanchuan City, Li Hu and his gang were beaten half to death by an unknown person half an hour ago and have returned to their base.”

“An unknown person?”

Rubbing his chin, Brother Spice Ginger’s eyes glinted with a cold smile as he snorted, “I suppose it must have been Young Master Hao who beat them up. These guys really have a death wish, daring to provoke Young Master Hao.”

“This time, make sure to be smart with this task; Young Master Hao wants them eradicated without any mistakes. If there’s even a slight mistake, I’ll cut your wages in half next year!”

“Young Master Hao never keeps useless people around!”

“Haha! Brother Spice Ginger, just leave these trivial matters to us. Listen to you talk…”

“The brothers don’t quite believe what you’re saying!”

“Haha! Brother Spice Ginger, they’re right; Young Master Hao wouldn’t spare us from a wage cut!”

Upon hearing these young guys exclaiming in jest, Brother Spice Ginger laughed and cursed, “Get out of here, you guys. Do your job well; don’t embarrass Young Master Hao. That’s the minimum requirement. Can you do it?!”

“We can!”

As Brother Spice Ginger’s words fell, everyone responded in unison, their voices fervent, like devoted followers.

“Haha! Great! Brothers, let’s take over Sanchuan City without hesitation!”

Brother Spice Ginger laughed heartily.

…………

As for the specific actions of Brother Spice Ginger and the others, Hao Jian was unaware at the moment, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t bother. After all, whatever they do, Brother Spice Ginger now has things figured out in his heart.

He had already sent Li Wen home and suddenly felt touched as he looked at this mere two-bedroom apartment. Long ago, he lived in a place like this…

“The place is a bit simple, don’t mind it.”

Seeing Hao Jian linger at the door, Li Wen’s eyes suddenly dimmed. She then smiled slightly, though her smile carried a hint of inferiority.

“Haha, you’ve seen worse.”

Sensing the meaning in Li Wen’s eyes, Hao Jian scratched his head and then touched his nose, laughing, “I used to live in a place like this, brings back memories.”

Upon hearing this, Li Wen felt considerably better and she invited Hao Jian inside with a smile.

“I’ll go get you a glass of water.”

Saying this, Li Wen headed towards the kitchen, while Hao Jian looked around the room, lost in thought. The room was plain in its decor; as for furniture, just those few tables, of course, plus the dresser at the door with brand-name lipsticks and cosmetics on it.

Hao Jian secretly sighed, indeed wanting to work in the bar industry requires a lot of effort. Even if you’re poor and have no money, at least your appearance needs to be impeccable.

This two-bedroom apartment seemed to house just Li Wen alone. So, when Li Wen came out, Hao Jian asked curiously, “Doesn’t your brother live with you?”

Upon hearing the question, Li Wen shook her head and said, “My brother has his own place, no need for me to worry. What I do worry about is his debts…”

Though her words were light, Hao Jian still sensed the helplessness in her tone.

“You’ve helped me so much this time, I honestly don’t know how to thank you…” Li Wen placed the glass of water in front of Hao Jian, her tone full of gratitude.

Earlier, the place wasn’t right for expressing thanks; now that Hao Jian was at her home, she had time to properly thank him.

The name Brother Hu was a knife hanging above her head for years, with the pressure forcing her to continuously grow and earn money, just hoping one day she could remove that knife.

Now, Hao Jian appeared and helped her remove the knife in a very authoritative manner, smashing away the blade hanging above her.

“No, say nothing.”

Honestly, the hardest part for Hao Jian was when friends wanted to thank him. At such times, it’s difficult to say anything in refusal; you can only let them continue.

“No, I have to say it! Let me have a drink first.”

Li Wen directly interrupted Hao Jian’s words, grabbing the nearby brandy and pouring it straight into her mouth…

“Uh… are you sure that’s water?!”

Watching the bottle of brandy, Hao Jian’s face turned completely black—was she doing this on purpose?!

“Blep! Why does it taste so strange… but, whatever!”

After drinking half of the brandy bottle, Li Wen hiccuped, her eyes hazy as she looked at Hao Jian. She hiccuped again, giggling foolishly.

“Do you… do you know?”

“In order to earn money to help my brother repay his debts, every time I drink in the bar, I’m afraid of drinking too much in case something regrettable happens…”

“Each night, I’m half-awake, never truly sleeping in the bar, never properly drinking!”

“And…”

Suddenly, with a flushed face, Li Wen pointed at Hao Jian, blurrily saying, “But I don’t know why, since you showed up and helped me resolve my crisis… I… I feel safe… a sense of security!”

“So today, I dare to drink so much!”

“Li Wen, you’re drunk, stop drinking.”

Kneading his forehead, Hao Jian felt rather helpless. He got up and took the bottle from her, placing the brandy on the table, preventing her from drinking more.
