Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 671 - 672: Plot within a Plot
"Don't talk about ten years, if I could spend a beautiful night with such a beauty, I'd be happy to lose twenty years of my life."
"This woman is actually undressing in public, could she be a nymphomaniac? We might have a chance."
"Why don't we go up and ask? Maybe we'll get a free shot."
Just then, some men beside Hao Jian were speaking vulgarly, their faces twisted with lewd smiles.
"Shut up!" Hao Jian reprimanded them fiercely.
"What did you say?" The men glared at Hao Jian unwelcomingly. How dare this bumpkin scold them?
"I told you to shut up!" Hao Jian repeated, his brow furrowed with fury.
"Hey, what are you, to yell at us like that?" The men were instantly enraged and all surged forward, surrounding Hao Jian.
"That's my friend, and I don't want to hear anyone insulting her," Hao Jian said, staring straight at the men in front of him.
"Friend? Just a friend and it's none of your business? We'll say whatever we want!"
"Besides, we didn't say anything wrong. She's undressing in public, isn't she trying to seduce men? You're just meddling unnecessarily, maybe even upsetting her."
"Exactly, she's desperate for a man's touch."
"Looks like, you guys don't want to shut up," Hao Jian's expression darkened, and he grabbed the tallest and biggest guy there and gave him two solid punches.
The big man, who had been leering, was immediately subdued by the punches, collapsed to the ground foaming at the mouth, and passed out on the spot.
"What?"
The other men, who had been smirking, instantly had their expressions petrified. That big guy, taken down by two punches from Hao Jian?
If it really came to a fight, one punch could have killed him, but this was still Hao Jian showing restraint.
"Are you ready to listen quietly now?" Hao Jian sneered at the men.
Everyone fell silent, too scared to make a sound. They didn't know each other, and with Hao Jian's ferocious demeanor, they lost any intention of banding together against him.
"Get lost!" Hao Jian's glare was fierce as he shouted.
A dozen men scurried away hurriedly.
.....
"Captain Jiang, take off your underwear, too." At this moment, the voice on the other end of the phone again came with an eerie tone of envy.
Upon hearing this, Moon Goddess Jiang's expression turned rigid. Envy wanted to humiliate her utterly and push her to rock bottom; if she took off all her clothes now, she'd be in the news by tomorrow.
It concerned the honor and reputation of Dragon Tooth, and higher-ups might expel her from Dragon Tooth. Moon Goddess Jiang realized that her opponent was far more cunning and sinister than she had thought.
"Captain Jiang, are you sure you won't take it off? If you don't, your daughter may be in grave danger," Envy said coldly.
Moon Goddess Jiang struggled internally for a moment, then sighed deeply in her mind, and reached behind her back to unclasp her bra.
"Don't listen to her!" At that moment, Hao Jian's voice came through Moon Goddess Jiang's walkie-talkie.
Moon Goddess Jiang frowned slightly. If she didn't listen to Envy, Xiaolu might be in danger. However, Moon Goddess Jiang couldn't speak now, as anything she said could also be heard by Envy.

"We can't let her lead us by the nose, or she'll make even more unreasonable demands. Trust me, they're more desperate than you are right now, so you don't need to follow their orders. This is a fair trade!" Hao Jian said gravely, trusting his judgment.
The other party was actually more anxious than they were, otherwise, they wouldn't have come all the way from the other side of the Earth to Huaxia. They only dared to trouble her because they knew how protective Moon Goddess Jiang was of her child.
Moon Goddess Jiang hesitated slightly but chose to stop because she also trusted Hao Jian's judgment, as he had never been wrong before.
"I will not undress anymore," Moon Goddess Jiang said coldly, choosing to trust Hao Jian.
Envy on the other end paused, seemingly surprised by Moon Goddess Jiang's response, and then sternly said, "Moon Goddess Jiang, do you want me to kill your daughter?"
"If anything happens to my daughter, I will immediately destroy this genetic code. The rest I will hand over to the Huaxia Government, and once they get it, you won't ever be able to retrieve it." Moon Goddess Jiang's stance hardened.
Envy was speechless, bewildered by how the woman had suddenly become so tough. What was giving her this confidence?
Previously, Moon Goddess Jiang was just a desperate mother, but now she seemed to have reverted to the battle-hardened war goddess she once was.
"You dare to bargain with me?" Envy said darkly.
"I certainly have the right to bargain with you. If you think I'm just a mother and easy to bully, then you are greatly mistaken!" Moon Goddess Jiang responded firmly. "Take your things and leave Huaxia, from now on we stay out of each other's way, or else kill my daughter, and I will destroy what you want, then relentlessly pursue you henceforth."
On the other end, Envy fell silent, and if not for the similarity in the voice on the call, she might have doubted whether she was speaking to the same person.
But after a moment of silence, Envy spoke up, "Place the item in the Mickey Mouse trash bin under the Ferris wheel, and then you can go to the entrance of the shopping center to pick up your daughter."
Immediately following this, she hung up the phone.
Moon Goddess Jiang was instantly overjoyed upon hearing these words and hastily threw the package in her hand into the trash bin before preparing to leave.
"Things are not that simple." Just then, Hao Jian's gloomy voice suddenly intervened.
Moon Goddess Jiang's expression froze, "What do you mean?"
"It's alright, just do as she said, I'll handle things from here," Hao Jian spoke with a serious tone.
"Hao Jian..." Moon Goddess Jiang suddenly called out.
"Yes?"
"You must save her, you have to! She's not just important to me, but to you as well," Moon Goddess Jiang said with a hint of sobbing.
Although Hao Jian felt perplexed by her words, he didn't ask further, "Don't worry, I'll bring her back safely."
Moon Goddess Jiang no longer hesitated, got dressed, and walked towards the entrance of the shopping center.
"All units, pay close attention to the trash bin. Once someone goes to take something from it, immediately proceed to arrest," Yu Jiayi commanded on the scene. At that moment, all the Dragon Tooth members started focusing on the trash bin.
Meanwhile, Moon Goddess Jiang followed Envy's instructions and went to the entrance to wait for Xiaolu.
About half an hour later, a young man in a cheap shirt and jeans appeared beside the trash bin. He surreptitiously scanned the surroundings before reaching into the trash bin. In no time, he pulled out the document bag that Moon Goddess Jiang had directly thrown in there earlier.
The man, having grabbed the document bag, didn't linger but immediately headed southeast.
"The target has appeared, follow him!" Yu Jiayi issued the command.
Subsequently, several Dragon Tooth members, filled with rage, followed the man. They were frustrated yet excited, not believing how easily they had nabbed their target. It seemed that the Seven Sins were no big deal after all.
However, Hao Jian was deeply furrowing his brows. It was going too smoothly; even if the other party really intended to exchange with them, it couldn't possibly go this smoothly.
This didn't make sense. If this guy really was one of the Seven Sins, why wouldn't he disguise his true identity? Did he truly believe that Dragon Tooth wouldn't be able to arrest him upon seeing his real face?
This moved beyond confidence to stupidity.
Furthermore, if he was not worried about revealing his identity, why didn't he just come out and deal directly with Moon Goddess Jiang? Why bother her with throwing the stuff into the trash bin and then him retrieving it? It was unduly cumbersome.
What exactly was the other party planning?
After a moment's hesitation, Hao Jian, too, thought to follow and see what was really going on, but suddenly, his expression changed, and his eyes burst with a brilliant light.
So that was it!
For a moment, Hao Jian seemed to understand everything and again stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharp as he stared at that trash bin.
"Why are you arresting me?" At that moment, the man was intercepted by Yu Jiayi.
But after they caught him, they were dumbfounded. The man spoke in a thick local accent, looking utterly clueless. He didn't even resist the arrest. How could this possibly be one of the Seven Sins?
They realized they had been played. This guy must have been used by someone.
"We are the police, speak! Who told you to take this?" Yu Jiayi scolded.
Hearing that they were police, the man was terrified and hurriedly spoke, "It was two men in black robes who told me to take it. They gave me ten thousand yuan to fetch this thing here. It's really none of my business, Officer."
Hearing this, Yu Jiayi and the others' expressions darkened knowingly, realizing they had been played.
"Captain, have you picked up Xiaolu?" Yu Jiayi asked into her collar mic.
"Not yet." Moon Goddess Jiang was also extremely anxious. The others had asked her to meet Xiaolu at the entrance, but half an hour had passed, and not a ghost had been seen.
"Open the package, check if our stuff is still there," Yu Jiayi grimly ordered. Xiaolu hadn't been released, yet they had prematurely exposed themselves, and they didn't know if this would enrage the other party.
One of the Dragon Tooth members snatched the package and opened it, but his face turned green when he saw the contents.
Inside was a pill bottle-sized miniature bomb, which was currently emitting a piercing, beeping noise.
At that moment, everyone's expression drastically changed.
"Boom!"
The next instant, a thunderous explosion resounded through the shopping center, turning a twenty-meter radius into scorched earth.
More than twenty civilians, including that man, were killed instantly by the blast, and over forty were injured.
