Chapter 288 You Lost!
And he absolutely despised Hao Jian; he wanted to see Hao Jian arrested with his own eyes.
"Impossible, Hao Jian could never do such a thing!" Che Xiaoxiao immediately denied. Hao Jian could never kill innocent people; if he really did, it must be for some necessary reason.
"This is not for you to decide. We need to take him back for an investigation, and we hope you can cooperate," Liang Jiankun said with an unchanged smile, speaking warmly.
"Even if you're coming to arrest him, it should be the CID. Why is it the military?" Guo Shuxian questioned. "Liang Jiankun, although your family has great influence, misusing your power like this is still something I can report."
Liang Jiankun scoffed and pulled out an arrest warrant from his hand. "This is an arrest warrant from the Military Department because the criminal this time is not like ordinary criminals. Ordinary police officers are not enough, so we had to deploy the military to enforce the law," he explained.
Che Xiaoxiao and Guo Shuxian exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. What kind of background did Hao Jian have that made Liang Jiankun go to such lengths?
"Mayor Guo, I advise you not to get in the way; harboring a criminal is not a good reputation to have, and I don't think you'd want to be unjustly maligned," Liang Jiankun chuckled.
"Are you threatening me?" Guo Shuxian frowned, her expression turning unfriendly.@@novelbin@@
"Just a reminder, after all, we are all intelligent people. Let me tell you, it's not just me who wants Hao Jian dead. Kong Xiaozhen, the He Family Clan, everyone now wants him dead, and this time is different. This time, we are the ones making the move, and we definitely will not let Hao Jian survive!" Liang Jiankun stated confidently, knowing they were not failures like Zheng Fei.
Guo Shuxian's expression turned ugly because she knew Liang Jiankun indeed had the power to shake her own.
Guo Shuxian had not expected Hao Jian to have made so many powerful enemies; she initially thought that Hao Jian only had a conflict with He Rongsheng, but it turned out he had also offended Liang Jiankun and even Kong Xiaozhen.
Guo Shuxian was hesitant now about whether to hand over Hao Jian. If she did, he would probably be finished off by both Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen.
Just then, Hao Jian patted Guo Shuxian's shoulder, stepped forward from behind, and smiled, "I'll handle this matter myself."
"Can you really handle it?" Guo Shuxian asked, half in doubt.
"Don't worry, I have it all figured out," Hao Jian smiled, then looked up at Liang Jiankun and said, "I'll go with you."
"You are much stronger than many people," Liang Jiankun smiled approvingly. If it were someone else, seeing such a forceful presence would have scared them senseless, but Hao Jian acted as if nothing was wrong.
In his view, Hao Jian's behavior was nothing short of heroic sacrifice.
"I know," Hao Jian nodded unapologetically, not embarrassed in the slightest.
"Still defiant even when death is imminent," Yu Zhixun scoffed.
"Someone like you would probably not dare to talk back with death approaching," Hao Jian retorted teasingly.
"You," Yu Zhixun thundered, commanding his subordinates, "Cuff him!"
Two soldiers moved toward Hao Jian to handcuff him, but before they could, Hao Jian knocked out both soldiers with one kick and one punch.
Liang Jiankun and the others were shocked, and Yu Zhixun roared furiously, "Hao Jian, you dare resist arrest?"
Liang Jiankun did not speak. He rather hoped Hao Jian would resist; this way, it would be an open defiance against the state, and even if he did not deal with Hao Jian themselves, someone else would kill him.
"I am not resisting arrest, but I don't like handcuffs, so don't put those things on me," Hao Jian said lightly.
"Who do you think you are? You are a criminal suspect now; you don't have the right to make demands!" Yu Zhixun shouted angrily, infuriated by such defiance at this time.
"I am three steps away from you. At this distance, it would take less than a minute to kill all of you. I am cooperating with your investigation not because I am afraid of you but because I am giving face to this country I love. But if you don't give me that respect, I will make you regret it!" Hao Jian scoffed.
Just by agreeing to go with Liang Jiankun, he had already shown tremendous respect to the Huaxia Government.
Faced with such a threat from Hao Jian, Yu Zhixun dared not say another word, believing Hao Jian truly had the capability. If provoked, he feared they would all be in danger.
"See, this is the difference between you and me. Even now, I am not afraid of you, yet you are still frightened of me," Hao Jian taunted.
"That's why you're dying and not me. Arrogant people never end well," Yu Zhixun countered coldly, admitting that he did not have the courage of Hao Jian, but it was also for this very reason that he had survived.
"That's why you'll always be just a dog," Hao Jian snorted disparagingly. Some people would rather die standing than live kneeling, like him, like Liang Jiankun, which is why they could be leaders, clearly something Yu Zhixun was not.
Yu Zhixun's face was as dark as thunder, unable to think of a rebuttal against Hao Jian, his face full of hatred.
"Let's not bother with the handcuffs then," Liang Jiankun finally said.
"Yes," Yu Zhixun nodded. Since this was what Liang Jiankun wanted, he naturally didn't dare to defy him.

"You see? This is why Liang Jiankun is the master and you're just a dog. He doesn't care whether I'm handcuffed or not because in his eyes, I'm already a dead man. What's the use of caring about a dead man? But you're different.
You wanted to humiliate me before I die, which just shows how petty you are." But it seemed as though Hao Jian had become addicted to humiliating Yu Zhixun, as he continued to insult him relentlessly.
Yu Zhixun's colleagues, hearing what Hao Jian said, thought there was some truth in it.
"Are you trying to please me indirectly?" Liang Jiankun asked with a smile, astonished that Hao Jian was actually praising him. Was this guy scared?
"You're thinking too much. Although what I said is true, you're still an SB in my eyes," Hao Jian bluntly replied.
Liang Jiankun didn't get angry but laughed, "That's good to hear. Now I can rest assured, and I won't be soft-hearted when I kill you."
"We'll talk after you manage to do it," Hao Jian laughed heartily and walked directly towards the outside, he didn't get into the prison van but instead entered the red flag sedan that Liang Jiankun had arrived in.
"Get the hell out of here!" Yu Zhixun was so furious he was about to explode. That bastard was too shameless, actually thinking of riding in the same car as them.
"Forget it," Liang Jiankun waved his hand dismissively.
Once Liang Jiankun was in the car, sitting across from Hao Jian, just as Yu Zhixun was about to join them, Hao Jian suddenly spoke up, "You're not allowed up here. Get lost!"
"Who the hell do you think you are to be ordering me around!" Yu Zhixun exploded with rage. Hao Jian kept insulting him over and over again, igniting his fury.
"If you dare come up here, I'll break your damn legs!" Hao Jian scoffed coldly.
He wasn't joking; he really dared to do it.
Yu Zhixun's face turned dark immediately. This was too much, way too humiliating. He even regretted why he had come here with Liang Jiankun today. Wasn't this just deliberately giving Hao Jian a chance to trample on his dignity?
"Better take a different car," Liang Jiankun told Yu Zhixun, his expression a mix of laughter and tears. This wasn't like catching a criminal at all; it was more like catering to a lord.
Yu Zhixun could only leave filled with humiliation.
Upon arriving at the military base, Hao Jian had just gotten out of the car when he saw Kong Xiaozhen and a group of people waiting for him.
Seeing Hao Jian step down, Kong Xiaozhen's smile became somewhat sarcastic. "I thought we'd be fighting for a long time, but it seems I thought too much."
These words were heavily derogatory, as Kong Xiaozhen was mocking Hao Jian for not being strong enough, and therefore unable to keep up the fight.
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you," Hao Jian said meaningfully, then looking around at the surroundings, "It's been quite a while since I've been inside a military base. I really missed it."
"You won't be nostalgic much longer because this is going to be your burial ground," Kong Xiaozhen snickered coldly.
"Ah, you people are really troublesome, always speaking for yourselves, which I find very contemptible," Hao Jian said lightly, smiling.
"A damn dying man still acting tough? I don't fucking believe you can still walk out of here!" Yu Zhixun roared furiously.
"What if I really do walk out of here, what would you do then?" Hao Jian retorted with a cold laugh.
"If you actually walk out from here, I'll fucking kneel and lick your boots!" Yu Zhixun laughed loudly.
Just as Yu Zhixun's words fell, Kong Xiaozhen's phone rang. He answered it with a dubious expression, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"Come back, you've already lost," came an authoritative old voice from the other end.
Kong Xiaozhen's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had received a massive shock, solely because his grandfather's words were too startling. Lost? Had he already lost? When?
"Grandpa, what do you mean? I don't understand," Kong Xiaozhen pressed urgently. Normally, he would never question like this, but in facing Hao Jian, he had lost all rationality and desperately wanted to know how he had lost.
"From the moment you went after him, you had already lost. The Provincial Department has personally ordered his release. This guy has someone powerful behind him; he's not as simple as you thought," the old man said, then just hung up, leaving Kong Xiaozhen staring dumbfounded at his phone.
The Provincial Department intervened? This guy actually has connections there? Why couldn't he find out anything when he investigated him initially?
Meanwhile, Liang Jiankun also ended his call, having obviously received the same news, making his face very cold as well.
Seeing the expressions of the two young masters, everyone had an ominous premonition.
