Chapter 593: Does it Look Like a Dog?
"I'm asking you one more time, are you sure you won't sell?" Murong Yeyun's voice gradually became icy, evidently, he was also extremely humiliated by being played by Hao Jian.
"Murong Yeyun, I know what you're thinking and what you want to do, but I don't want to get involved in your dispute with Murong Qiushui," Hao Jian also said coldly. If he helped Murong Yeyun, Murong Qiushui would certainly bear a grudge against him.
"What are you talking about? My relationship with Qiushui is very good!" Murong Yeyun hurriedly retorted.
"Very good? Is that self-comfort?" Hao Jian scoffed coldly: "You might be able to deceive others with that, but you can't fool me!"
Murong Yeyun's brows instantly furrowed: "What do you mean by that?"
Could it be that Hao Jian actually understood the inside story? Had Murong Qiushui told him?
"Although on the surface it looks like there's no problem between you and your sister, if there really were no problems, then why do you insist on staying in Hua City? Are you trying to tell me that you have fallen in love with this heated soil?" Hao Jian said mockingly.
"What if I really have come to like this place?" Murong Yeyun asked sarcastically.
"Impossible. Hua City may be prosperous, but it can't compare to Capital City. Would you abandon Capital City for Hua City? I don't believe it! Unless you have other ulterior motives!" Hao Jian spoke indifferently, and it was abnormal for Murong Yeyun to have stayed in Hua City for such a long time.
"What do you think my scheme is?" Murong Yeyun squinted his eyes; he felt more and more that Hao Jian was unfathomable. Hao Jian had discovered his intention, knowing that his stay in Hua City was purposeful, and this was something that even Murong Qiushui, who shared the same thoughts as Murong Chengkong, did not know.
"You're worried Murong Qiushui will partner with me, and you want to disrupt the cooperation between her and me. At the same time, Murong Qiushui is now focusing her career on Hua City, and you want to compete with her in Hua City to prove who is the most qualified to inherit the Murong Family," Hao Jian replied.
"Murong Yeyun, you're not as rough as you appear, nor are you as indifferent to power as you seem to be. On the contrary, you hate your sister to the extreme because she took everything that was rightfully yours. You and Murong Chengkong are both resentful, so you want to take it back, am I right?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.
"Indeed, you're right. Hao Jian, now I finally understand why you have control over Hua City; you indeed are an intelligent man, probably the cleverest person I have met apart from the four famous families," Murong Yeyun said, clapping his hands continuously, before his expression turned sinister: "Now that you know my intentions, you should realize that I am determined to get this piece of land."
"You think you can snatch something from my hands?" Hao Jian laughed coldly in response.
"I don't know, but I would like to try!" Murong Yeyun said, smiling yet not smiling, his eyes narrowed. If Hao Jian did not intend to give him the land, then perhaps it was time for him to take some necessary measures.
"Kid, our Young Master fancying you is your good fortune; don't be ungrateful!" Just then, a young man spoke up, about thirty-something, adorned in a suit, with a handsome appearance and a hint of arrogance in his brow, glaring unhappily at Hao Jian.
"Who are you?" Hao Jian frowned, he had never seen this man before, yet there was a feeling of déjà vu, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Baili Family, Baili Yuntian!" Baili Yuntian said proudly, his gaze towards Hao Jian was cold.
"Baili Family? What's your relationship with Baili Zhan?" Hao Jian suddenly came to his senses; no wonder he found Baili Yuntian familiar, he was from the Baili Family.
"That trash is my cousin, but I have no relationship with him whatsoever," Baili Yuntian snorted coldly, eager to distance himself from Baili Zhan, because he didn't want to be lumped together with that disgrace who only brought shame to the Baili Family.
"He may be trash, but you're not necessarily any better. Even if he's trash, at least he stands upright, while you are groveling!" Hao Jian mocked, implying that Baili Yuntian was nothing but a dog for Murong Yeyun.
"You!" Baili Yuntian's eyes were filled with fury.
"Don't get so angry, I didn't say anything wrong, did I? Aren't you just acting as someone's dog?" Hao Jian said playfully and then ignored Baili Yuntian, turning instead to Murong Yeyun: "As the master, shouldn't you control your own dog? When the adults are talking, why should a beast interject?"
"Hao Jian, f*ck your mom!" Baili Yuntian was extremely embarrassed and cursed at Hao Jian.
"Bang!"
As soon as Baili Yuntian's words fell, Hao Jian rushed forward, kicking him in the chest and sending him flying into a nearby concrete pool.
Hao Jian looked at Baili Yuntian in the concrete pool with a smile: "You probably don't understand me; I have never been a nice person. If someone wants to curse me, I'm definitely going to f*ck their grandma!"
Immediately after, Hao Jian teasingly said to Murong Yeyun: "I took care of a disobedient dog for you; I suppose you should be grateful to me."
"Do you think this is funny? Or do you think I'm just another useless fool like Liang Jiankun?" Murong Yeyun's face darkened as he spoke. Hao Jian was simply provoking him.
Baili Yuntian was his dog, and there's a saying that you should look at the master before beating the dog. By hitting his dog in front of him, Hao Jian had no intention of giving him face.
"Liang Jiankun and the others should be a cautionary example for you. Actually, I think you should take heed," Hao Jian still wore a relaxed expression, not worried in the slightest about offending Murong Yeyun.
"I will ask you one last time, are you really not willing to accept my request?" Murong Yeyun had lost his patience, he asked with a cold face.
"It seems defeating a few losers has inflated your ego!" Murong Yeyun huffed.
"Are you talking about yourself?"
"Have you ever beaten me?"
"I just hit your man, and you don't dare to strike back at me, doesn't that mean you know you can't beat me? Doesn't that count as me winning?" Hao Jian laughed.
Everyone was shocked; Hao Jian was blatantly slapping Murong Yeyun in the face.
"Are you sure I can't beat you?" Murong Yeyun sneered, that last time was only because you played dirty tricks.
"Then let's go again, this time I'll beat you like a dog!" Hao Jian beckoned Murong Yeyun with his fingers.
"Help, help!" Just then, Baili Yuntian screamed repeatedly, unable to swim, he had swallowed several mouthfuls of cement in the cement pool.
"After such difficulty being rescued," Baili Yuntian glared at Hao Jian with a venomous look.
"If you dare glare at me again, I'll skin you alive!" Hao Jian said with a somewhat bizarre laugh.
Baili Yuntian immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Hao Jian again, his face showing endless shame and humiliation.
"In that case, let's show the truth with our actions!" Murong Yeyun was also furious, rushing towards Hao Jian.
Five minutes later.
Murong Yeyun, with a swollen nose and bruised face, lay on the ground and said to Hao Jian, who was rubbing his hands in preparation, "I've treated you to a meal before, do you remember that?"
Hao Jian rolled his eyes and said, "How can your skin be so thick?"
Everyone else was also dumbfounded. Wasn't this too embarrassing?
"A true man can bend and stretch!" Murong Yeyun didn't feel embarrassed in the least and said aloud.
"Shameless is just shameless, why talk about bending and stretching?" Hao Jian mocked, Murong Yeyun's skin was indeed too thick.
From this, Hao Jian could tell that Murong Yeyun was an oddball. He didn't care about any kingly demeanor and acted like a rogue—just like the historical Liu Bang, despicable yet he seized the empire.
Those who win empires are heroes; heroes merely serve at the behest of such conquerors.
"Look, a plane!" Murong Yeyun suddenly pointed behind Hao Jian.
A group of people turned around to look but saw nothing behind them.
Hao Jian also realized something was amiss and quickly turned back, only to see Murong Yeyun running away as if flying. His speed surpassed Liu Xiang in the 100-meter hurdles, his figure was exceptionally dashing.
"This shameless scoundrel!" Hao Jian clenched his teeth in frustration. Although he had anticipated it, he still hadn't expected Murong Yeyun to do something so outrageous.
"Young Master?" Baili Yuntian was also shocked and shouted after the retreating figure of Murong Yeyun.
Just now, Murong Yeyun had been so domineering, with an air of invincibility, but now he ran away like a dog who had lost his home, and his escape was even more embarrassing, as if chased by a dog.
"Keep in touch when you're free!" Murong Yeyun shouted without looking back, running faster than a dog.
"Ha, look at him, doesn't he look just like a Hao Jian?" Hao Jian taunted.
The subordinates of Murong Yeyun were all dumbfounded, staring at the departing Murong Yeyun, all feeling like they had been terribly let down.
Murong Yeyun had to run; he wasn't a fool. Just now he had clearly sensed the killing intent emanating from Hao Jian; this guy truly had murderous thoughts towards him.
Although Hao Jian was laughing and joking around, Murong Yeyun knew this guy actually had a knife hidden behind his smile.
"Now that the boss has run away, what will you minions do?" Hao Jian looked at Baili Yuntian and the others with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Baili Yuntian and the others were immediately alarmed, thinking Hao Jian wouldn't beat them up as well?
"Hao Jian, actually, I really admire you, hehe, hehehehe…" Baili Yuntian forced a smile more unsightly than crying.
"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself," Hao Jian said with a hand on Baili Yuntian's shoulder, his words full of meaning, aware that Baili Yuntian's words were not sincere.
"I can't help it; if I'm not, you'll beat me!" Baili Yuntian said with difficulty, his smile even uglier than tears.
"Oh? You're quite smart, aren't you!" Hao Jian feigned surprise and then eyed Baili Yuntian with ill intent, "But even so, I still have to beat you because I really find you very unpleasant to look at!"
With that, Hao Jian rolled up his sleeves and walked over, and soon Baili Yuntian found himself in the cement pool once again.
Not long after, Baili Yuntian returned to the Baili Family looking bedraggled. But just as he reached the doorstep, he saw a slovenly drunkard laying across the threshold, guzzling wine in a drunken stupor.
