Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 667 - 668: The Discarded Piece
"Good, very good!" Gao Luyuan glared viciously at Gao Jiping before dejectedly leading his men away, but as he left, his last glance was pregnant with a deep, self-satisfied meaning.
"Has the old bastard gone mad? He actually plans to make a move on Mr. Hao Jian?" At this time, Gao Jiping's underling stepped forward and spoke with disdain.
"He has indeed lost his mind, the pain of losing his son has caused him to lose all reason," Gao Jiping gravely said, and then continued, "Give me the phone, call Spice Ginger, tell him about this."
"Tip off? If Gao Luyuan finds out about this, won't he hold a grudge against us?" the confidant reminded.
"If Hao Jian finds out that we knew and didn't report it, he will be the one to hold a grudge against us," Gao Jiping responded with a wry smile, fearing offending Hao Jian far more than Gao Luyuan.
Elsewhere, Vivian had been held captive in Shu Ya Group's warehouse for five or six days. During this time, she was imprisoned there, her limbs bound in chains, with all her bodily functions relegated to a small corner.
Since the warehouse lacked a restroom, whenever she needed to relieve herself, she had no choice but to do it in her pants. Of course, she could remove her pants, but that would expose parts of her body that were not meant to be seen by Hao Jian and others. To avoid humiliation, she chose the disgraceful option of soiling her pants.
At this point, Vivian no longer bore the pride she had when she first arrived, her face etched with shame and fury, as she sat in one spot all day without moving.
"Boss, isn't this a bit too cruel? Not allowing her food or drink is one thing, but not even letting her use the restroom? Aren't you driving her to a dead end?" Heigui commented while they were all in the monitoring room.
"That's exactly the point, to drive her to a dead end and cause a mental breakdown. Terrorists like her do not fear death, they have no desires or moral compass, and hence, all threats and temptations are ineffective against them," Hao Jian said with a cold laugh, "But people like her have one common flaw."
"What flaw is that?" Heigui couldn't help but ask.
"That is their extraordinary sense of pride. If I crush the dignity and glory they cherish, they will eventually curl up like ants."
Tie Shan and the rest were taken aback, asking, "Boss, how do you know so much about these things?"
"Through frequent contact with such people, you naturally come to understand," Hao Jian explained, since he had dealt with similar people in the past.
Hearing this, Tie Shan and the others felt a chill, realizing that Hao Jian had been dealing with terrorists all this time. What exactly was his identity?
At the same time, they started to pay attention to the members of the Crazy Faction nearby, because the Faction's attire was indeed bizarre. Fully-grown men dressed in women's clothing would certainly turn heads on the street. But despite this, they dared not mock the Crazy Faction, sensing that they were no ordinary individuals.
"It's about time, open the door," Hao Jian said with a malicious smile, then entered alongside the Crazy Faction.
The moment the door opened, Vivian's head shot up, her eyes ablaze with venomous hatred.
"Long time no see, your gaze has become even colder," Hao Jian sneered, and then removed the cloth from Vivian's mouth.
It was to prevent Vivian from committing suicide by biting her own tongue.
"Hao Jian, I'm going to kill you. As long as I'm alive, I'll wipe out everyone close to you. You just wait!" As soon as the cloth was removed, Vivian began cursing furiously.
Vivian was truly going mad. A foul stench emanated from her, the result of days without a bath and relieving herself on her person.
Vivian had never experienced such humiliation from childhood to adulthood. Murder was a crime with a clear boundary, but Hao Jian had humiliated her like this, driving her to madness.
Perhaps for a man, this might not be much, but Vivian was a woman. Even if she were an assassin, she valued cleanliness. What Hao Jian did was akin to stripping her naked and forcing her to run through the streets, or even worse.
"Oh, still got the energy to shout, huh? Alright then, let's keep you here a few more days," Hao Jian said coldly, and then turned to leave.
"Hao Jian, what exactly do you want?" Vivian screamed, frantic to the point of wanting to curse her mother.
"Tell me what I want to know, and I'll let you go," Hao Jian said with a menacing grin.
"You want me to betray Young Master Ye? I'll tell you, it's impossible!" Vivian declared defiantly, for even a terrorist has dignity.
"Seems like you're quite loyal, but I wonder if Ye Wenying cares about you just as much?" Hao Jian taunted before taking out his phone to make a call.
Vivian's heart clenched; Hao Jian was actually calling Ye Wenying.
"Who is it?" As soon as the call connected, an unfriendly voice came from the other end—Ye Wenying's.
"Me, Hao Jian," Hao Jian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenying fell silent on the other end of the line, seemingly realizing the situation. Vivian had left days ago to assassinate Hao Jian with no word since. Now that Hao Jian was calling out of the blue, it implied that Vivian was in his hands.
"What's up, Young Master Ye? Not talking?" Hao Jian teased.
"What do you want?" Ye Wenying asked confrontationally, assuming Hao Jian had an ulterior motive for the call.
"I should be asking you that, you said we hit it off and were kindred spirits, and now you suddenly send someone to kill me, what's that all about?" Hao Jian said with a cheeky grin.
Hearing this, Vivian rolled her eyes. This guy really had no shame. Hit it off? Kindred spirits? In his dreams, perhaps?
"Speak plainly!" Ye Wenying snapped, unable to tolerate the man's thick skin any further.
"You send someone to kill me, and now your person has been caught by me, shouldn't you give some sort of response?" Hao Jian teased.
"Firstly, I did not send anyone to kill you, and I don't know what you're talking about, and besides... what kind of response do you want?" Ye Wenying sneered, seeing right through Hao Jian's attempt to trap him with his words.

Hao Jian cursed under his breath at Ye Wenying's cunning; the man was so on guard.
"That depends on how much you care about her. By my estimates, shouldn't it be at least five or six hundred million?" Hao Jian brazenly demanded.
"Are you fucking joking with me?" Ye Wenying cursed out loud, that was no small sum. With that much money, he could hire a hitman ten times more capable than Vivian.
And hearing Ye Wenying's roar, Vivian's face fell, for she knew Ye Wenying would never ransom her.
"Do I look like I'm joking? What, too expensive for you?" Hao Jian asked with a mocking smile.
"Failure means death. I think she's well aware of that, no need for me to explain further." After saying that, Ye Wenying hung up the phone, clearly having no desire to bother with Vivian anymore.
It also hadn't crossed his mind that Hao Jian could be so greedy as to demand a ransom. He was not going to pay to have Vivian ransomed back. If he did, wouldn't that mean Vivian was sent by him? If Hao Jian made a big deal out of this, it could become very troublesome for him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your boss is really hardcore, ready to sell you out just like that," Hao Jian shook his head saying, "Even so, are you still willing to keep his secrets?"
"Don't bother blowing smoke, I know what you're up to. Even if Young Master Ye doesn't care about me anymore, I will absolutely not betray him. I may be a terrorist, but I too have dignity," Vivian said coldly, not falling for Hao Jian's tricks at all.
Hao Jian looked at Vivian intently, then turned to the Crazy Faction, "Kill her!"
"Murder? You can't be serious?" Tie Shan was dumbfounded, could Hao Jian really be contemplating murder?
"You don't know shit, boss is just trying to scare her," Heigui whispered, naively thinking Hao Jian was just pretending.
At that moment, a member of the Crazy Faction took out a steel knife from behind and walked expressionlessly towards Vivian, placing the knife against her neck, seemingly ready to cut her throat.
Vivian watched him approach, yet her face was calm, appearing ready to accept her fate.
The large knife of the Crazy Faction was already at her throat, even nicking a small cut.
At this point, Heigui and Tie Shan both sucked in a breath of cold air; was Hao Jian serious about killing someone?
They felt that the Hao Jian standing before them now was a stranger, and who was this burly man under his command, killing without batting an eye?
But at that moment, Hao Jian suddenly noticed a black flame skull tattoo on Vivian's abdomen. His expression changed dramatically.
"Stop!" Hao Jian suddenly shouted.
The Crazy Faction stopped, looking at Hao Jian with confusion, while Vivian couldn't help showing surprise, looking at Hao Jian with annoyance: "What are you up to now?"
Hao Jian walked over, then lifted Vivian's T-shirt, continuing to stare at her tattoo.
"What are you trying to do? Assault me? Let me tell you, I am not afraid!" Vivian spat out fiercely.
Hearing this, Hao Jian looked at her with contempt, "With the way you look now, who would dare to touch you?"
"You!" Vivian was so angry she could almost spit blood. Wasn't it Hao Jian who had reduced her to this state?
"Tell me, how did you learn about this tattoo? And who did it for you?" Hao Jian demanded coldly, an issue that mattered greatly to him because it involved an old friend.
"None of your damn business," Vivian scoffed, too angry to even consider sharing the origins of her tattoo with Hao Jian.
"You've got a lot of nerve, refusing to submit even after shitting and pissing in your pants for several days. I've got to say, I'm kind of impressed," Hao Jian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Vivian lowered her head to think, not remotely convinced that Hao Jian was complimenting her.
"Tell me the source of this tattoo, otherwise, you'll choke to death on your own excrement," Hao Jian said ominously.
