Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 582 - Identity Exposed

Hao Jian then joined Zhao Yating for dinner at the table, and while Hao Jian wasn't paying attention, Zhao Hanlin quietly approached Zhao Kuangyi and asked, "When did your sister get to know such a formidable figure?"

"This, I'm also not too clear, Yating only mentioned that this guy is her teacher, besides that, she didn't say anything." Zhao Kuangyi also looked astonished, originally he looked down on Hao Jian, but who would have thought that even Liang Jiankun wouldn't dare to talk back after being insulted by him.

"Dad, who is this Hao Jian exactly?" Zhao Kuangyi asked, puzzled.

"The current ruler of Hua City," Zhao Hanlin said with a surprised and happy expression. Now one could say that the entire Hua City was under Hao Jian's control. If they could curry favor with Hao Jian, his company would definitely be able to get through the crisis.

"The ruler of Hua City?" Zhao Kuangyi immediately gasped in shock and then became even more perplexed, "But isn't Hua City ruled by the four big families?"

"That was in the past, this guy is the new king of Hua City now! Even the four big families have been thoroughly defeated by him. Didn't you see Liang Jiankun's behavior just now?" Zhao Hanlin said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyi was suddenly at a loss for words, how could this guy be so prominent and yet so low-key?

"Tell your sister, no matter what, she must try to win him over. He could be our benefactor. As long as he's willing to help, our Zhao Family can definitely escape our current predicament!" Zhao Hanlin reminded.

"Dad, I don't think Yating will agree. Her relationship with Hao Jian is very special; she doesn't want to ruin that," Zhao Kuangyi said with a bitter smile.

"What do you mean?"

"She likes Hao Jian."

"Since she likes him, she should be more proactive. Once Hao Jian becomes our son-in-law, what reason would he have to not help us?" Zhao Hanlin thought this way. Since Zhao Yating also liked Hao Jian, wouldn't that make things much more convenient?

"But she hasn't confessed to Hao Jian yet."

"Then she should hurry up! With such a good man, if she lets him slip away, she will never find another like him," Zhao Hanlin said anxiously, annoyed at Zhao Yating for being indecisive. "You tell your sister, times have changed, girls need to be more proactive."

Zhao Kuangyi was exasperated, "But didn't you say before that this guy was no good?"

"That was because I didn't understand his true identity. Now that I do, of course, it's different," Zhao Hanlin said, thick-skinned.

Later, Hao Jian continued to dine with Zhao Yating, while Liang Jiankun sat on the couch in the hall like a fool, watching them eat. Liang Jiankun trembled with rage; Hao Jian had humiliated him yet again, and yet he didn't dare to leave because if he did, Hao Jian might do something even more outrageous.

"Jiankun, why not join us for the meal?" Zhao Hanlin came over and politely invited Liang Jiankun, as the group ate leaving Jiankun sitting there alone might cause him to bear a grudge.

Although Zhao Hanlin had already given up on trying to win over Liang Jiankun, it was still better not to offend him.

"He's not hungry!" Before Liang Jiankun could speak, Hao Jian interjected.

"It's fine, let him sit there," Hao Jian said with a mocking smile.

Hearing this, Liang Jiankun felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger, but still, he said gloomily, "I'm not hungry!"

At this, Zhao Hanlin also showed an embarrassed expression and fell silent.

Hao Jian had actually got Liang Jiankun under his thumb?

Zhao Hanlin had no choice but to return to the table, but he kept enthusiastically toasting to Hao Jian, and with a smile, he complimented, "The rumors are indeed true, you are truly exceptional at such a young age, dominating Hua City and becoming its sole ruler. Compared with you, an old fox like me is truly inferior."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yating was also astonished as she looked at Hao Jian because she didn't know about this layer of Hao Jian's connections.

And now, Zhao Hanlin also noticed Zhao Yating's confusion, and said with a smile, "Yating, do you not know about your teacher's capabilities?"

Zhao Yating shook her head in confusion, although she knew Hao Jian was anything but ordinary, she had not imagined that Hao Jian was actually the sole ruler of the entire Hua City, this seemed rather exaggerated.

"You really should learn well from your teacher in the future. Mr. Hao Jian is a man of great capability," Zhao Hanlin hinted indirectly to Zhao Yating that one should flatter Hao Jian!

And Zhao Yating also heard the underlying meaning but didn't respond, as she didn't want any impurities to mix into her relationship with Hao Jian.

At this moment, Zhao Yating's admiration for Hao Jian knew no bounds. Hao Jian seemed almost omniscient. He had said that Zhao Hanlin would surely try to win him over, and indeed her father was now doing just that.

Naturally, Hao Jian also detected the meaning behind Zhao Hanlin's words and scoffed, "How could that be? A rascal like me, I'm simply no good at all, not as great as you make me out to be."

"This..." Zhao Hanlin immediately looked embarrassed, knowing that Hao Jian was still holding a grudge for being insulted and put in a difficult position earlier. He hastily glanced at Zhao Yating, hoping for help.

But Zhao Yating didn't even look at him, instead turning her head away to continue eating.

"Alright, let's drop the pretense, I have no fondness for you, and if it wasn't for Zhao Yating, I wouldn't help you. People like you who look down on others are bound to fail in business because you lack the vision a leader should have, my wife is even more capable than you in this regard."

Hao Jian snorted derisively, not sparing Zhao Hanlin any face, "It's precisely because you are like this, and even your son has picked up the same bad habits, that if you don't learn to improve, the downfall of the Zhao Family is inevitable!"

At this, Zhao Hanlin's face was the picture of embarrassment, while Zhao Kuangyi glared at Hao Jian with dissatisfaction, thinking, how did this become about him?

"Don't give me that look, according to our earlier agreement, now you have to strip naked and run a lap around your house!" Hao Jian said with a cold laugh.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi's expression turned to shock, only then remembering the promise he had made to Hao Jian, that he was to run naked.

In an instant, Zhao Kuangyi's face turned green, his lifelong reputation, was it going to be ruined today?

"So, you're saying you're willing to help us?" Zhao Hanlin caught the implied message in Hao Jian's words and asked with immense joy.

"I just happen to have a large piece of land, I'm going to build a residential complex there, preliminarily estimated to be around ten thousand square meters. I can hire your construction team, and I'm also willing to pay the full amount!" Hao Jian stated.

"Really?" Zhao Hanlin was stunned, this happiness came so suddenly, paying the full amount all at once, this would mean their construction team could get back to work.

"But you're paying the full amount, aren't you afraid we'll breach the contract?" Zhao Hanlin asked, puzzled; usually, construction payments are thirty percent, at most forty percent, it was the first time he'd seen someone like Hao Jian pay in full.

"Breach the contract? Would you dare?" Hao Jian stared at Zhao Hanlin with a half-smile, half-grimace.

Zhao Hanlin was at a loss for words, chuckling nervously as he shook his head; if he dared do such a thing, the Zhao Family would be doomed.

"When do we sign the contract?" Zhao Hanlin couldn't wait to ask.

"Hold on, I will help, but there are conditions!" Hao Jian said.

"What conditions? Just say it!" Zhao Hanlin was very straightforward; no matter what Hao Jian would request, he would agree.

"That is to have him run naked outside!" Hao Jian suddenly pointed at Zhao Kuangyi, then said with a mischievous smile.

Zhao Kuangyi's expression froze, he gave Hao Jian a bewildered look, and then his face went red as he bellowed, "Aren't you being a bit too petty?"

"Yes, I've always been very petty!" Hao Jian said with a cold chuckle.

"Zhao Kuangyi, go now!" Zhao Hanlin directly ordered Zhao Kuangyi; by now, he'd probably even agree if Zhao Kuangyi had to emasculate himself for the family's sake.

"Dad!" Zhao Kuangyi wailed, looking at Zhao Hanlin with a despairing gaze. Just moments ago, Zhao Hanlin thought of sacrificing Yating, and now he wanted to sacrifice him, wasn't that inhumane? Was he even his real son?

"For the family, what's there to fear from making a small sacrifice, it's not like it'll cost you your life!" Zhao Hanlin huffed.

"Exactly, and besides, it was you who made that bet in the first place, you wouldn't want to go back on your word, would you." Yating also chimed in from the side, a smile curling at her lips.

"You..." Zhao Kuangyi was utterly dumbfounded, were these really his father and sister?

"Hurry up, you can still make it back in time for dinner, or else the food will go cold," Xiaoxiao urged.

"I'll remember this!" Zhao Kuangyi glared at Hao Jian menacingly.

Hao Jian returned the glare with a grinning gaze, "I'm just afraid you won't remember!"

Then, Zhao Kuangyi stripped himself of his clothes and pants on the spot, leaving only his underwear.

"Hey, hey, hey, the underwear..." Hao Jian reminded.

"Big brother, have some mercy, give me a way out, will you?" Zhao Kuangyi pleaded with a woeful face, this should be enough, right? If he stripped any further, he would never be able to face his parents and sister again.

"Alright, alright, since you are Yating's brother, we'll leave it at that." Hao Jian wasn't too harsh on Zhao Kuangyi, letting the matter rest there.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you so much." Zhao Kuangyi thanked him profusely, looking utterly abject.

"What a disgrace! How shameful!" Yating glanced at Zhao Kuangyi.

"Shut it, it's none of your business!" Zhao Kuangyi retorted, feeling wronged. If it wasn't because of you, would I have a beef with this guy?

And then, with a heart full of humiliation, Zhao Kuangyi stripped off his clothes and dashed out.
