Chapter 1302: Pay Up!
"Hao Jian, don't give him..."
Shen Ling hadn't even seen a million, perhaps not even a hundred thousand, and now Hao Jian was so 'generous' to plan on giving it to Shen Hao, her pretty face showed worry.
Shen Hao was the type to eat someone alive, leaving only bones behind. What chilled her heart was her own parents—that their attitude towards this matter was actually agreement!
But on second thought, it was understandable. After all, from birth till now, she had always been seen by her parents as someone without much use, not even as important as a strand of Shen Hao's hair.
"Shut up!"
Seeing Shen Ling siding with outsiders, her father was very angry. This woman was his daughter. While other people's daughters stood up for their own, she sided with outsiders?!
This was a million! They had never seen so much money in their lives, and now all it took was for his son to take a few steps forward to get it in hand.
Never had there been a chance to get this million so up close, one could almost say it was within arm's reach. There wasn't anything now more important than getting that million.
Anyone who dared to stop them from getting that million was their enemy, even if that person was his daughter, he would treat her the same!
"Dad..."
Hearing her father scold her, Shen Ling's face turned bitter. These people were the same, not putting her in their eyes at all. But Hao Jian beside her was her savior. If it wasn't for him, perhaps by now, she would have lost her innocence.
Looking at these so-called family members, even if they heard she lost her innocence, they would first think of how to gain some benefits from it.
"Shut up!"
With a cold snort, Shen Hao walked towards Hao Jian, slowly extending his hand...
"Haha, seems like you are beyond saving..."
With a cold and distant look at the family, a heartless and loveless family, a cold grin appeared on Hao Jian's lips. He didn't pay attention to Shen Ling, instead stepped forward towards Shen Hao.
This million was just a chance Hao Jian was giving these people. Unfortunately, he truly underestimated their greed and heartlessness.
Shen Ling was their family, yet they didn't care about her, just for the sake of this mere million, letting the originally innocent Shen Ling carry an unwarranted reputation.
Every woman hates having her purity destroyed, especially a woman like Shen Ling? Though she had the courage to perform a Fleece Trick, in the end, wasn't she still afraid?
Under great pressure, she chose to run away.
This wasn't wrong, on the contrary, it was the right choice. These matters could have been avoided, such as if Shen Ling's parents had treated both children equally or if the family had been more harmonious.
But due to the severe patriarchal mindset, Shen Ling fell into an endless abyss. Such a family, in Hao Jian's view, wasn't worth staying with!
"Kid, give me the money!"
Seeing Hao Jian suddenly move, a disdainful smile appeared on Shen Hao's face. In his eyes, Hao Jian's action was nothing more than a sign of weakness.
A coward with a strong exterior but a weak inside!
Shen Hao had no goodwill towards Hao Jian. If it weren't for the million, he wouldn't even bother with this man, he would have kicked him out directly.
Who asked this person to obstruct his path to getting the money?
Shen Ling was already his tool for making money, and this man was stopping his money-making tool from making money, which was undoubtedly cutting off his source of income!
"So you want the million, right?"
A sudden curve appeared on Hao Jian's lips, a curve of cold laughter, and suddenly, Hao Jian moved!
"Give it to me!"
He was very close to Hao Jian, just ten centimeters away from the million-dollar check, just needed to move a bit forward, Shen Hao's heart was thrilled.
But suddenly, he felt his vision blur, then a violent pain suddenly struck from his chest, quickly spreading throughout his body. The intense pain was unbearable for even a second, making Shen Hao scream out in agony at the first moment!
"Pffffff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted violently from Shen Hao's mouth. He collapsed heavily, and after landing on his back, another mouthful of blood was spewed, his face instantly pale.
"Weak."
Slowly retracting his foot, Hao Jian's gaze returned to indifference, looking at Shen Hao with pity. Even with limitless anger in his heart, it remained hidden beneath his indifferent face.
It was precisely because of anger that Hao Jian didn't hold back when he acted. Of course, this was only relatively speaking, for if he had used a certain force, Shen Hao wouldn't have just spit up a few mouthfuls of blood and broken a few ribs, he would have been killed directly.
"Ki... kid... what are you doing?!"
Getting kicked by Hao Jian, Shen Hao felt several ribs break. Supported by two gangsters, he stood up, with his parents behind him wearing shocked expressions.
Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's gaze lightly swept over Shen Hao, his words icy: "Without the strength, yet dreaming of gaining ill-gotten wealth, I really don't know what your head is thinking, to be so oblivious to the situation!"
"Damn it!"
Facing Hao Jian's insult, Shen Hao's face grew even more unsightly. He stared at Hao Jian, gritting his teeth: "Hand over that million immediately! Otherwise, you'll see how tough we are!"
To Shen Hao, it was just a moment of carelessness that allowed this man to take advantage and kick him away. Although several of his bones were now broken, affecting his combat strength, he still had four gangster brothers by his side. He didn't believe this kid could take on so many people!
"Get your weapons ready for me!"
Shen Hao barked out a low order, and the gangsters reached into their pockets, pulling out switchblades, eyes fixed fiercely on Hao Jian.
But in the face of these weapons, Hao Jian merely shook his head. These switchblades didn't faze him, and even if they had guns, he wouldn't necessarily be afraid.
Moreover, considering their capabilities, perhaps they hadn't even touched a gun before!
"Pathetic..."
Hao Jian shook his head, then pinched the million-dollar check with two fingers, waving it before Shen Hao, saying: "If you have the strength, hurry up and take this check. If not, I'll have to assume you're not worthy of this million, and the price is that I'll take it back!"
"How dare you?!"
When Hao Jian mentioned taking back the million, Shen Hao's face grew dark. To him, the million was already his. Now that Hao Jian wanted to take it back, how could he agree?
Clearly, Shen Hao disagreed with Hao Jian's approach, so after a furious roar, he glanced fiercely at the gangsters beside him and shouted at Hao Jian: "Go up and hack this guy down for me!"
"Just go for it, whatever happens, I'll take responsibility!"
Shen Hao's shout, without any embellishment, came out like this, scaring Shen Ling's pretty face white. Her initial delight at seeing Hao Jian easily handle Shen Hao turned into fear because of Shen Hao's words.
"Hao Jian, leave now!"
She stepped forward, reaching out to grab Hao Jian's arm, speaking anxiously, trying to pull him outside. But as she pulled Hao Jian's arm, she found his body hadn't moved at all.
Looking up, Shen Ling saw Hao Jian's face turning toward her, a face so calm it bore no expression. His lips twitched slightly, revealing a natural smile, and then Hao Jian's arm trembled slightly, shaking off Shen Ling's little hand holding his arm.
As Shen Ling was in shock, Hao Jian's light voice reached her ears, making her eyes gradually turn red, tears welling up against her will.
"Don't worry, I won't let you stay in a place like this because... you don't belong here, nor can you stay here..."
"You deserve a better life..."
"Boom!"
As the last word fell, Hao Jian had already stepped forward to confront the gangsters. His gaze was cold and devoid of emotion. With a swing of his palm, a crisp sound of bones breaking and a dull sound of impact filled the air.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
In just four seconds, the four gangsters holding weapons were all lying on the ground, groaning under Hao Jian's single-handed attack. The switchblades in their hands had somehow ended up in Hao Jian's hands.
"Too weak."
Looking indifferently at the four gangsters lying on the ground, groaning, Hao Jian's face was icy. Holding four switchblades, he casually flicked them at the four.
"Swish!"
"No!"
The switchblades sliced through the air toward the four. When they saw Hao Jian's movement, they panicked, terrified. As he threw the knives, they screamed in horror.
"Thunk thunk thunk!"
The fear of death overwhelmed them. Shen Hao behind them trembled all over.
In the end, these four switchblades pierced into the concrete in front of them, leaving only the handles...
"Huff huff huff huff..."
All four, lying on the ground, looked at the switchblades that landed merely a millimeter from their legs, trembling in fear. Ten seconds later, they exhaled in unison, faces terrified with the look of having escaped death.
"So... so powerful..."
With her small mouth slightly open, Shen Ling's pretty face was full of shock. These four gangsters had weapons, yet they were dealt with by Hao Jian in an instant.
What kind of background does this person have?
Shen Ling's gaze stayed fixed on Hao Jian, who remained utterly indifferent, showing no emotion after defeating several people, as if he were dealing with something insignificant.
The ease and nonchalance, or rather, the disregard.
