Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 707 - 708: Henchman

"Ah? It's so late, wouldn't it disturb your rest? How about tomorrow?" Tie Shan said somewhat embarrassed, also regretting that he should have called Hao Jian tomorrow instead.

"Stop the chatter, it's easier for everyone if we resolve this matter sooner." Hao Jian insisted on dealing with it immediately, to avoid complications.

Moreover, their actions had nearly caused loss of life, it was no small matter.

Then, Tie Shan led the way to the construction site, and there, Hao Jian saw Tie Shan's house turned into ruins.

Looking at his wrecked house, Tie Shan clenched his fists, his face filled with hatred.

Hao Jian patted his shoulder, comforting, "Don't worry, they will pay a price ten times more painful than this!"

Tie Shan nodded heavily, leading Hao Jian toward a large building. At the entrance of the building, they saw a group of men playing cards.

About seven or eight of them, each one looked tough, either tattooed or scarred, and using foul language freely.

Some women with a gangster-like appearance sat by their side, occasionally groped by the men in bursts of arousal, the scene was very lewd.

Seeing Hao Jian and company arrive, they all turned their heads, staring at them with unfriendly expressions.

"Yo, fool, you dare to come back? Wasn't yesterday's beating enough for you?" At that moment, a bald man with a goatee, wearing a flashy shirt and exuding a sleazy air, stood up.

Seeing them, Hao Jian immediately realized that these guys must have been the ones who beat Tie Shan yesterday.

Tie Shan was tough, but even the best tiger can't fight off a pack of wolves, especially when these men were experienced fighters, making them tough to handle.

"Where's Jiang Biehe? I want to see him!" Tie Shan said with an ugly look, feeling somewhat nervous about facing these men again after prior confrontations.

"Want to see our chairman? Our chairman isn't someone you can just meet because you want to! You cur, you dared to cause trouble yesterday, got us scolded by the chairman, and you still dare to come today?" A burly man, built like a bull, came forward, coldly staring at Tie Shan, ready to start a fight at any disagreement.

"Gentlemen, please calm down, we're not here to cause trouble, but to talk to Chairman Jiang Biehe about an issue." But at that moment, Hao Jian approached with a smile, showing an ingratiating expression, "Here, have some cigarettes, brothers!"

Seeing this, both Tie Shan and Aqing were instantly stunned. What was Hao Jian doing? Was this an indirect way of backing down?

Aqing quickly tugged at Tie Shan, saying, "Didn't you say your boss was very capable? Why is he acting like a lackey now?"

"This... I don't know either, but the boss must have some other plan." Tie Shan explained, his heart also full of questions, not understanding what Hao Jian was really up to.

"Oh, this young brother of yours is quite sensible," said the crew-cut Skinny, clearly the leader of this group. Seeing how humble Hao Jian was acting, he immediately became proud and approvingly fixed his gaze on him.

"Oh, and it's soft Zhonghua cigarettes, huh? Little brother, you don't skimp on cigarettes," observed Skinny, his eyes narrowing slightly as he spotted Hao Jian's cigarettes, his smile turning somewhat peculiar.

Hao Jian, of course, understood what he meant and offered the cigarettes with both hands: "If big brother likes them, take them. I've only smoked two."

"Hey, how could I take your cigarettes? Wouldn't that be bullying?" Skinny said pretentiously, yet he made no move to refuse Hao Jian's offer, reaching hypocrisy to the extreme.

"Where does big brother get such ideas? These are just a humble gift from your little brother," Hao Jian said with a smile, placing the cigarettes at Skinny's shirt collar and patting it in place.

"Alright, since you want to see the chairman, go ahead. However, to see the chairman, you must first go through the general manager, whose office is on the second floor, just around the corner," said Skinny, seeing how tactful Hao Jian was, thus he no longer troubled them and even proactively instructed them on what to do.

Following behind Hao Jian, Tie Shan and his wife still hadn't recovered from their confusion. How had Hao Jian become so servile? Could it be that he was afraid of Jiang Biehe?

Hao Jian, seeing their puzzled looks, asked with a smile, "Are you wondering about my behavior just now?"

Aqing quickly said no, not daring to offend Hao Jian, as now only Hao Jian could help them.

After hesitating for a moment, Tie Shan then spoke, "Why did you try to please them? With your capabilities, you could have thoroughly thrashed them and just barged in!"

"You're right, I could have done that. But if I did, do you think that would alert Jiang Biehe? Would he run away?" Hao Jian asked, smiling.

This question instantly stumped Tie Shan. If they truly started fighting with Skinny and the others below, it would almost certainly alert Jiang Biehe upstairs, who would definitely escape.

"Though I could still find him even if he ran away, wouldn't that just waste time?" Hao Jian posed another question. He had many matters to attend to now and didn't have time to fixate on Jiang Biehe.

Tie Shan and Aqing immediately understood Hao Jian's intentions; Tie Shan, feeling somewhat ashamed, lowered his head: "Boss, I was foolish!"

"It's not your fault. I fear anyone else in your position would have felt the same. However, first, you must understand that your true opponent is Jiang Biehe. These minor underlings can be dealt with later," Hao Jian explained.

"We'll follow your lead!" Tie Shan nodded vigorously, now looking to Hao Jian for guidance.

Hao Jian smiled slightly and then proceeded to the office door of the general manager, where he knocked.

"Come in!" A steady male voice came from inside.

At that moment, Hao Jian and the others pushed the door open, only to see a sophisticated middle-aged man seated behind the desk, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses.

Upon seeing Hao Jian and the others enter, the man adjusted his glasses. When he noticed Tie Shan, his face darkened as he put on a malevolent smile: "You again? You dare to come back? Looks like this morning's beating wasn't enough for you."

Tie Shan's face turned to steel, and he remained silent. Although his most hated person was Jiang Biehe, this general manager was a close second.

This was because the general manager had led people to harass his family, once taking liberties with his wife while he wasn't home. After catching and chastising him, Tie Shan harbored deep resentment, especially since the manager had significantly underpaid them during the demolition compensation.

While other residents received ten thousand yuan per square meter, Tie Shan was pitifully compensated only five thousand yuan. Given his ancestral home's size of over four hundred square meters, this compensation was a blatant ripoff.

It could be said that the general manager played a despicable role here, appearing refined on the outside but filled with nefarious intentions inside, utterly despicable.

If it weren't for the grossly inadequate compensation he withheld, Tie Shan would not have been so steadfast in his refusal to concede.

"Big brother, we'd like to meet the chairman. Could you kindly take us to him?" Hao Jian still wore a full-faced smile, knowing from what Tie Shan had told him on the way here that this man was far from honorable.

"Meet the chairman? Who do you think you are to just meet the chairman like that? What do you think you are?" Hua Yunfei scoffed arrogantly, sneering at Hao Jian and the others as he reached for the phone to have them thrown out.

"Actually, we've thought it over and decided to accept the demolition compensation and sign the deed to sell that plot of land," Hao Jian suddenly said.

"Oh?" Hua Yunfei, hearing this, momentarily paused his actions, a look of delight appearing between his brows: "Is that so?"

"Of course, it's true. We've thought it through. Rather than being bullied by you, it's better to take the money. It's better than getting nothing at all," Hao Jian nodded earnestly, playing his part well. Now, to get Hua Yunfei to take them to Jiang Biehe, once they met Jiang Biehe, everything else would be easier to handle.
