Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 583: Chain Scheme
After a satisfying meal, Hao Jian took a seat in front of Liang Jiankun with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Either let me go or kill me. Stop playing these mysterious games!" Liang Jiankun said coldly. Rather than being constantly toyed with by Hao Jian, he would rather Hao Jian just kill him.
"Even now, are you still unwilling to let go of your proud dignity?" Ye Nan shook his head and laughed.
"What are you trying to say?" Liang Jiankun asked, puzzled as he looked at Hao Jian, now somewhat unable to see through him.
Hao Jian smiled and shook his head, not answering immediately. Instead, he finished his cigarette slowly before he finally said, "Stop it, don't cause me trouble anymore. You no longer qualify as my opponent. My current opponent is Ye Wenying."
Immediately, Hao Jian stood up, his face expressionless, and said, "If you still plan to make things difficult for me, I don't mind erasing the Liang Family completely, nor do I mind making you the second He Changhuan!"
Immediately, Hao Jian turned and left, leaving Liang Jiankun standing there with a dark expression.
By then, Liang Jiankun's face had turned somewhat pale, feeling extreme humiliation.
Yet, he had no choice but to accept the reality that the current Hao Jian was no longer someone he could contend with.
Misfortune had struck Liang Jiankun, a man of power, repeatedly humiliated by the monstrous Hao Jian.
....
The next morning, Hao Jian was awoken by a series of urgent ring tones from his cell phone.
"You better have a good explanation!" Hao Jian spoke with murderous intent.
"There's been an incident!" came Yuan Shanshan's grave voice from the other end.
Hmm?
Hao Jian immediately became alert, sensing something was off from Yuan Shanshan's tone.
"What happened?"
"Turn on the TV and watch the latest news," Yuan Shanshan said.
Hao Jian quickly turned on the television and switched to the news channel. When he saw the news being reported, his face instantly turned as dark as an iron pot.
"Current pop diva Su Xinya actually a mistress? With lover, critically injures old flame?"
This glaring headline instantly captured all of Hao Jian's attention.
Then, Hao Jian saw Sun Yibo sitting in a wheelchair during an interview with reporters, distorting the truth, "Yes, I am Su Xinya's old flame. I have always loved her, but she wanted to break up with me. I went to see her last night, and she had her lover cripple me. Now, I can't use my legs anymore!"
"Damn it!" Hao Jian clenched his teeth in fury, not expecting Sun Yibo and Xu Rongde to collaborate against him and Su Xinya.
Sun Yibo's move had indeed caught him off guard, such a despicable tactic surely would bring adverse public impact.
Without looking, Hao Jian knew that the internet was probably filled with curses by now.
"Do you know who Su Xinya's lover is?" A female reporter asked Sun Yibo with some sympathy.
"Of course, I do. He is the Vice Chairman of Shu Ya Group and the husband of Shu Ya Group's Chairman. His name is Hao Jian! Su Xinya chose him over me because he is wealthier than I am," Sun Yibo said with a pallid face, filled with immense satisfaction inside as he spoke.
Because Sun Yibo knew, this time he could really ruin Hao Jian and Su Xinya!
Hao Jian might not be afraid of anything, but Su Xinya, being a public figure, would not end up well.
At that moment, Hao Jian also felt very annoyed. His identity had always been a secret, and he didn't want it to be exposed. But due to Sun Yibo's actions, he was forced into the spotlight, and soon enough, many would start investigating his background.
And then, his enemies might also notice this and come to Huaxia to find him.
Hao Jian's eyes filled with a killing intent, somewhat regretting not having killed Sun Yibo that night, which would have spared him this trouble now.
Now that he was pushed to the forefront, Su Xinya's reputation was tarnished, and Shu Ya Group was also affected.
"Because of this news, our company's stock plummeted ten percent overnight, costing us several billion. I'm worried it might affect the evaluations of the Chairperson and others in France," Yuan Shanshan said.
"I'll handle this matter, don't worry," Hao Jian responded.
Not long after, Lin Nantian also called, "Mr. Hao Jian, I'm sorry, last night Zuo Xinglong was stabbed to death in his cell."
Hao Jian frowned immediately. Zuo Xinglong was dead? That meant there was truly no proof of the contrary anymore! Such a deadly intent from the opposition, they wanted to bury him forever.
Just then, Hao Jian saw another piece of news. A female reporter was standing at the entrance of the police station, reporting, "According to the latest information, the person who attempted to attack Su Xinya by throwing feces was murdered in the police station yesterday. He was stabbed nine times and died after being taken to hospital. The perpetrator is an ordinary employee of the Shu Ya Group, and it's suspected that someone intended to silence him!"
Hao Jian's expression turned increasingly ugly. The opponent could be described as calculating every move meticulously, killing several birds with one stone.
Now that Zuo Xinglong was dead, everyone would think it was their doing, which was exactly what the hidden mastermind wanted to see.
The opponent was really good at scheming, co-opting Sun Yibo to throw smoke bombs and to tarnish both Su Xinya and him; then they paid someone from their company to kill Zuo Xinglong. The naive public would naturally think that the employee was instructed by him, deepening the public's aversion towards them.
Once Zuo Xinglong was dead, they would be unable to clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
The opponent wanted to commit murder to silence, but to the outside world, it seemed like he and Su Xinya were the ones wanting to silence others. For the first time in his life, Hao Jian felt like he had been outplayed.
"Don't blame yourself; I made a mistake," Hao Jian said calmly and then ended the call.
Afterwards, a chill flickered in Hao Jian's eyes: "It seems that I've really met my match this time!"

He was now completely sleepless and changed his clothes to go out.
On the way, he received two calls, one from Shu Ya and the other from Su Xinya.
Shu Ya, aware of the situation back home, called to ask Hao Jian about the circumstances.
Hao Jian answered very simply, asking Shu Ya to leave everything to him to handle, promising her a satisfying outcome.
Naturally, Shu Ya was willing to trust Hao Jian and did not continue to ask anything, just telling him to go ahead.
Su Xinya called because she wanted to meet Hao Jian in person.
The two agreed to meet in a café, as it was inconvenient for them to appear at each other's offices or residences due to the situation.
At that time, Su Xinya wore sunglasses and a scarf over her head, covering seventy percent of her face, fearing recognition.
Seeing Su Xinya like this, Hao Jian couldn't help feeling somewhat guilty; it was his fault that Su Xinya had been dragged into this undeserved disaster.
"Sorry, it's all my fault that your company got involved. I think I can no longer be the spokesperson for your company," Su Xinya sighed resignedly as soon as she spoke.
Hao Jian did not expect Su Xinya to say this. He smiled wryly and shook his head, "This isn't your fault, if anything, I should be the one apologizing. Those guys were targeting me."
Hao Jian felt he was the one who should apologize; if not for him, Su Xinya's issue would have probably been resolved long ago.
At this point, Su Xinya became puzzled, "Xu Rongde is the one after me; how could it be your fault?"
"Xu Rongde? No, no, the real mastermind behind this doesn't have the guts to oppose me," Hao Jian shook his head, feeling sure that someone else was orchestrating these events, not Xu Rongde.
Xu Rongde was just a chairman of an entertainment company. In front of the Shu Ya Group, he was insignificant, like an ant—how dare he challenge him! Unless he had a death wish!
In his view, Xu Rongde and Sun Yibo were just being used as pawns by someone else.
It was precisely because of that mastermind's support that these two clowns dared to jump so joyfully.
Now, Hao Jian wanted to completely expose that hidden mastermind.
"So, what do we do now? Both of us have been falsely accused, and our reputations are ruined. I worry it might affect your group," Su Xinya said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this issue. Although I've made a mistake, it's not irremediable!" Hao Jian spoke confidently. Before coming here, he had already instructed Spice Ginger and Li He to take action; he believed it wouldn't be long before he had what he wanted.
"But for now, I need your help," Hao Jian said intently as he looked at Su Xinya.
"Hmm, tell me!" Su Xinya felt that she and Hao Jian were now in the same boat and rejecting him was hardly an option.
"It's to ask your company to not rush to clarify this matter. You just maintain your silence for now, and wait for me to handle it," Hao Jian said.
"This…" Su Xinya hesitated, not clarifying would mean letting others continue to slander her.
"Alright, I'll discuss it with my management company," Su Xinya hesitated but eventually agreed to Hao Jian's request, believing that Hao Jian would be able to resolve the issue.
"Alright, I have to make a trip to Xintong Daily," Hao Jian said, standing up.
"Xintong Daily?" Su Xinya frowned upon hearing this, not very fond of Xintong Daily since it was the most critical of them among all newspapers.
In Xintong Daily's front page, they had portrayed Su Xinya and Hao Jian as adulterers and had extensively slandered Su Xinya for pretending to be pure and hypocritical, claiming she advanced career by sleeping with men. The fabricated accusations, although baseless, had damaged Su Xinya's personal reputation.
