Supremely Talented Tyrant

"Who is this man?!"

Zheng Hai watched helplessly as a man walked straight towards Shu Ya. What was even more infuriating was that the usually cold Shu Ya actually showed a smile he had never seen before when she saw him.

"Damn it!"

His palm slammed harshly on the chair as Zheng Hai's eyes fixated on the man, simply because after he appeared, Shu Ya walked over and even took the initiative to hug him!

"She is my woman!"

From the moment Zheng Hai saw Shu Ya, he had made up his mind about this woman. Her appearance and prowess were exactly what he desired. How could he possibly let her escape like this?

"Hao Jian, why are you here?"

Just coming out of the restroom, Shu Ya was about to return to her seat, bracing herself to continue business discussions with Zheng Hai despite her disgust, but unexpectedly, Hao Jian came right at her, making her blush.

"Sigh..."

Seeing this girl still the same, Hao Jian couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently tap her head, saying, "Remember to keep your phone with you in the future, don't keep losing it, or how can I contact you?"

"Always so careless..."

"I... I forgot..."

Sticking her tongue out, Shu Ya really had forgotten her phone. No wonder she felt something was missing—it turned out she had left it at work!

But how did Hao Jian find her here with her phone lost? Shu Ya looked at Hao Jian with some suspicion. "Did you follow me?"

"Follow you, my ass!"

Hao Jian chuckled bitterly and couldn't resist ruffling her hair again, a bit helplessly saying, "Luckily, your secretary had your schedule, and your routine was fairly reliable, or I wouldn't have found you..."

It was an oversight this time by Spice Ginger and his crew, not assigning someone to stay with Shu Ya, or else without needing a phone or anything else, just asking Spice Ginger would have immediately led him over.

Why would he need to go and inquire at the company?

Just a moment ago, Hao Jian also found time to give Spice Ginger a call, and naturally, he scolded him harshly on the phone. Spice Ginger was quite upset at Hao Jian's reprimand, insisting that he had indeed ordered his men to keep a good watch, so how could this happen?

After repeatedly assuring Hao Jian he would handle it well, Hao Jian didn't probe too deeply, as things hadn't reached an irreparable point yet. It was simply giving Spice Ginger a warning.

It also served as a hope that he wouldn't make such low-level mistakes again; one or two could be forgiven, but if it happened repeatedly, Hao Jian would have to investigate Spice Ginger's situation thoroughly.

It wasn't a matter of distrust, but rather a suspicion that something was amiss under Spice Ginger's command.

"Anyway, as long as you find me, all my schedules have been shared with Xiaomei, so if you can't find me, just ask her."

Afraid Hao Jian might get angry, Shu Ya could only say this to him. After all, every time she went out for business, all her schedules were decided by her secretary, and she only needed to follow the itinerary to complete these tasks.

"Miss Shu Ya, who is this gentleman?"

Just as Hao Jian was about to shake his head, an untimely voice suddenly interrupted their conversation, causing Shu Ya's expression to darken.

The last thing she enjoyed was someone interrupting her conversation with Hao Jian. To her, the man in front of her was more important than the rest of the world, how could they be disturbed by such irrelevant little matters?!

Hao Jian turned his gaze, seeing Zheng Hai, who had stood up without him realizing, standing in place, staring intently at Hao Jian with anger clearly visible deep in his eyes.

"Heh..."

Hao Jian suddenly chuckled, pulling Shu Ya's small hand and walking towards the table, smiling at Zheng Hai all the while, "I am Shu Ya's man, just came to see her and take her home."

"Her man?"

Zheng Hai's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, a cold gleam flashing through, yet in the next moment, he revealed a hearty smile, "So you're Miss Shu Ya's partner! No need to worry, I'm just discussing business with her; after we're done, I'll send her back..."

"Is that so?"

Hao Jian looked at Zheng Hai with a half-smile, wondering if he planned to send her back to Shu Ya's home or the hotel? Surely Zheng Hai was aware of this in his heart?

Did he really think Hao Jian was blind?

Hao Jian sneered inwardly. He had seen with his own eyes when this guy added something to Shu Ya's drink. If he were to believe that whatever it was had no bad intentions, not even if he were beaten to death would he believe it.

"I have my own car, so I don't think I need to trouble you, Mr. Zheng Hai?"

Shu Ya's face remained unsightly. In front of Hao Jian, this guy still didn't know how to restrain himself. Did this person really think the world revolved around him? Was everyone else just fools?!

"Shu Ya, aren't you being a bit estranged with your words?"

Shu Ya's blunt words made the follow-up Zheng Hai had prepared get stuck in his throat, causing him to feel a wave of embarrassment. He could only suppress his anger, put on a forced smile, and speak.

"Estranged? No, no, no, I don't think so!"

Hao Jian reached out to stop Shu Ya from speaking, squinting slightly and smiling as he looked at Zheng Hai, saying, "I do think, Mr. Zheng Hai, that your behavior is quite unreasonable! Even a bit excessive..."

Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Zheng Hai's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like there was more to this man's words. Did he discover his little tricks?

Impossible!

What he did was so subtle, how could anyone possibly discover it?

"Oh? Really?"

Hao Jian looked at Zheng Hai with a faint smile and suddenly pointed at Shu Ya's glass of wine, his tone suddenly dropping: "Would someone familiar do something like drugging a drink?!"

"What are you talking about?!"

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Hai's face changed slightly. However, fortunately, he had experience, and he managed to control his expression, his face turning gloomy as he stared at Hao Jian, his gaze carrying a chill, his tone carrying a threat: "Sir, even if you are Miss Shu Ya's man, I hope you won't speak without thinking, especially in public like this!"

"Yes, I was wrong to have dinner alone with Miss Shu Ya and to upset you, which is indeed my fault, but I also hope you don't mind..."

With the next sentence, Zheng Hai suddenly portrayed himself as a victim, a victim who was suffering because of the anger from the woman's partner.

The tone was filled with helplessness.

This caused the customers who witnessed the situation to look at Hao Jian with faces filled with doubt and mild displeasure. Even if they were somewhat puzzled, once these things entered their ears, whether they believed it or not, it usually came with a faint sense of emotion, dislike, or other feelings.

Seeing the crowd's aversion to Hao Jian, Zheng Hai felt quite pleased. He had played these little tricks countless times; if they were ruined like this every time, how could he continue playing this drugging and forcible drama?

However, his complacency only earned him Hao Jian's mocking smile. That kind of smile, in his eyes, seemed to ridicule his ignorance.

Just as Zheng Hai was about to speak to confront Hao Jian, a cold voice suddenly rang out from beside Hao Jian.

"Mr. Zheng Hai, I hope you can give me an explanation."

Shu Ya's gaze was icy as she stared at Zheng Hai, her tone as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth, causing Zheng Hai to shiver uncontrollably as the words entered his ears.

"Miss Shu Ya, what kind of explanation do you want? There's nothing to explain!"

Clearly, Zheng Hai planned to play the rogue, since the only evidence of the drugging was that glass of wine, and he could find a chance to throw it away later.

Even if he couldn't dispose of it later, he could easily shirk responsibility for this matter. After all, he acted discreetly, and besides Hao Jian, no one else saw his actions.

In this regard, he felt no fear, as it was merely Hao Jian's word against his. Mentioning it now was unlikely to convince anyone; apart from Shu Ya, others probably wouldn't trust him.

"I'll ask you again, how will you explain it? Don't try to brush me off!"

Shu Ya fixed her gaze on Zheng Hai, not believing a word he said. For Shu Ya, Hao Jian wasn't someone to speak without reason, especially since this involved her reputation, making it even less likely for Hao Jian to act recklessly.

This meant that Hao Jian's words must be true! If nothing had happened, why would Hao Jian say such things? To slander Zheng Hai, to make him leave?

Heh heh, that's overthinking. With Hao Jian's current strength, not to mention one Zheng family, even ten Zheng families could be dealt with easily. There would be no need for such tricks!

Little did Zheng Hai know, above his overly complacent inner world loomed a giant-like figure, who, with a mere bow of his head, looked down on the ants at his feet, not knowing his thoughts and actions. After all, to him, such a small creature could be crushed with a single step.

He was merely surviving in the crevices of the lines at the giant's feet!

Shu Ya's words completely darkened Zheng Hai's face, his cold gaze remained on Hao Jian, yet he spoke to Shu Ya: "Miss Shu Ya, are you intending to join this gentleman in slandering me?!"

"Even if you don't want to cooperate with me, there's no need to use such underhanded tactics to ruin my reputation, is there?! I'm sure you're aware of the Zheng family's power, so do you know what happens when you offend the Zheng family?!"

"I suppose even for a power of your level, you'd certainly not want to offend us, the Zheng family?!"

As Zheng Hai spoke these words, the faces of those in the know suddenly showed a look of surprise.
