Supremely Talented Tyrant

But Wang Ke lacked any self-awareness. Upon hearing what Liu Rizhao said, she almost burst with excitement. If someone turns down even a free gift, they must be a real Master Kuo.

"Yes, yes, I was overambitious. Such a shabby house, how could it be worthy of you, Mr. Hao?" Liu Rizhao quickly nodded in agreement, coordinating with Hao Jian.

Upon hearing this, the man with gold-rimmed glasses visibly twitched at the corners of his mouth. This villa area in Hua City might not be the highest-grade, but it was definitely in the top five. Yet, in Liu Rizhao's mouth, it had become a broken-down house?

Could you be any more obvious with your flattery?

"Well then, we're also quite busy, so we won't stay here any longer," Hao Jian said indifferently, then turned to look at Heigui:

"Haven't I told you not to be so calculating among brothers? If you need money, just tell me. Why go to your 'Third Uncle'? A dead pauper who can't even spare a few tens of thousands, what can he help you with?"

Rage reappeared in the eyes of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, but he didn't dare make a sound. Compared to someone like Hao Jian, who would give away a villa at the drop of a hat, he indeed was a pauper.

"Oh," Heigui nodded blankly, then turned to the man with gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Third Uncle, I won't ask you for money anymore."

The man with gold-rimmed glasses was so angry he felt like vomiting blood. You don't borrow, just don't borrow. Did you have to say it out loud? Aren't you just trying to slap my face?

By the time Hao Jian and his group left, he still hadn't recovered from his shock. He had lost his house, his car, and even his woman—all just because he didn't lend some money? Was it really worth all this?

He was about to cry. If he had known this would happen, let alone lending, what would giving you a few tens of thousands matter? But now, it was too late for regrets.

Hao Jian let Wang Ke off at a department store, ostensibly saying he had matters to discuss with Heigui and told her to go shopping at the department store first, and he would come back to pick her up later.

Before getting off the car, he gave her a card, flamboyantly saying she could swipe it however she liked!

Then Wang Ke excitedly rushed off to go on a shopping spree!

"Hao Jian, you couldn't really fancy this woman, could you? She's a vampire. If you marry her, just wait to become an ATM,"

Heigui cautioned. He could see with one glance that Wang Ke was no good—one who always cried for branded bags. This woman was definitely bad news.

"Nonsense, do you think I don't know that? Do you really think I've fallen for her? I'm just trying to irritate your Third Uncle,"

Hao Jian was not fooled. How could he possibly be interested in that kind of woman?

"Then why did you give her the card? Aren't you afraid she'll spend all your money?"

"That card doesn't have any money in it. Let her spend it however she wants," Hao Jian said with a sly smile.

"Damn, you're quite devious, you know. You've managed to trick both my Third Uncle and her at the same time!" Heigui was secretly shocked, thinking to himself how cunning Hao Jian was.

Hao Jian spit, "Pah! I'm doing this to stand up for you, aren't I? Besides, if that woman weren't so greedy, I couldn't have tricked her, right? If you want to blame, blame her and your Third Uncle alike—they only have eyes for money!"

On hearing this, Heigui chuckled madly, "You know, you're right, I'm actually feeling pretty good now. Imagine the expressions on their faces when my Third Uncle and that woman find out about this."

"Well, I wouldn't know about that, because right now I'm more concerned about your issues, not theirs. What are you going to do now?"

Hao Jian suddenly changed the subject, staring intently at Heigui.

The smile gradually faded from Heigui's face, and he looked downcast as he said:

"What can I do? The driver who caused the accident wasn't caught, I haven't received any compensation, and I can't even pay for the surgery. My mom is still lying in the emergency room. Apart from waiting for news from the police, there's nothing I can do."

Heigui felt incredibly suffocated. If he had money like his uncle did, would he need to beg everywhere like a stray dog?

Thinking about this, Heigui nearly wanted to slap himself. Why can others succeed, yet he was stuck like a lump of mud?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hao Jian also noticed that Heigui was feeling down. He turned to start the car, and said emotionlessly, "I'll take care of the surgery costs for you. Don't worry about it."

"How could that be possible?"

Heigui was shocked. Honestly, he had not expected Hao Jian to help him since they had known each other for less than two months.

"What do you mean 'how'?!" Hao Jian promptly snapped, "Don't you consider me a brother?"

"Of course not, from the moment I met you, I felt you were brother material."

Heigui quickly explained, worried that Hao Jian wouldn't consider him a brother. Especially after today's incident, he realized Hao Jian was no ordinary person. What right did he, a penniless man, have to call him brother?

"If we are brothers, stop talking nonsense. If you really feel bad, just pay me back double later. You can wait, but can the old lady wait?"

Hao Jian spoke sternly. Heigui's mother was critically ill and if they didn't operate soon, who knew when her time would come.

Heigui paused, then his eyes slowly moistened, "Hao Jian, thank you, really, thank you."

"Why are you crying? Big men crying like wronged brides, aren't you ashamed?"

Hao Jian sternly rebuked him, "Men do not easily shed tears, remember this if you're a man!"

"All right, I won't cry!" Heigui sniffled and calmed himself down.

"Hold on, I'm taking you to find the driver who caused the accident!" Hao Jian said with a stern face.

"What? Did the police find him?"

Heigui asked in surprise, thinking it didn't make sense. If the police had found the driver, shouldn't the victim's family be the first to know?

Hao Jian smirked, "It wasn't the police who found him; it was me."

"You?" Heigui stared at Hao Jian, full of suspicion.

"After I heard about your family's situation from Tie Shan, I asked my friend to look into that driver. He just called to say he's found him and is keeping an eye on him. We need to go there now."

Hao Jian explained, but his expression was indifferent and calm, as if it was all very common.

Yet to Heigui, it sounded extraordinarily unusual. He smiled bitterly, "Hao Jian, can you tell me who you really are?"

A single sentence made his self-important uncle homeless.

Another sentence made a business tycoon bow and scrape.

And now one more sentence has surfaced the culprit that even the police couldn't find.

Hao Jian's identity was too mysterious and too powerful, causing Heigui to struggle to accept it temporarily.
