Chapter 353 Astonishing Insider Story
"So it's him." But after hearing everything, Zhu Guangming did not show any awe. Instead, he was extremely arrogant, "Just a dead man walking, what's there to be scared of? After injuring both Kong Xiaozhen and Liang Jiankun at the same time, do you think the Kong Family and the Liang Family will let him off? Just a dying man, what's so great about that?"
Zhu Guangming looked at Hao Jian with a gaze as if staring at a dead man: "Kid, if I were you, I'd be hightailing it out of Hua City right now. If you're late, your family will only be able to fish your bones out of a pigsty."
Seeing this, Liu Rizhao said nothing more. He had done what he could; since Zhu Guangming was still obstinately unaware of the danger, there was nothing else he could do.
"Boss, what's up?" At that moment, the head of security arrived with a group of security guards.
"Cripple this brat for me. I'll cover for you if anything happens. And that little bitch, take her to my room," Zhu Guangming said with a lecherous laugh, straightforward as always, without any shame.
"Hao Jian, I've heard rumors outside that you're really tough, that it's nothing for you to take on dozens at once. Now, I really want to see if you're that impressive!" Zhu Guangming said coldly.
"Beat him up!"
The security guards approached Hao Jian with batons, having heard Zhu Guangming's words, they did not hold back, intending to beat Hao Jian to a cripple.
But Hao Jian just swayed slightly and picked up a sofa nearby, hurling it toward the security guards.
"Ahh!"
After a round of screams, the group of security guards was instantly taken down by Hao Jian.
Seeing this, Zhu Guangming instantly sucked in a breath of cold air and then, realizing something was amiss, he screamed out frantically, "Get up, get up, you useless trash!"
If these security guards couldn't stop Hao Jian, then who would help him when it was his turn to be dealt with by Hao Jian?
Liu Rizhao couldn't help but reveal a cold smile, watching Zhu Guangming with irony in his eyes. He had anticipated that Zhu Guangming would pay a price for his actions. Whether Kong Xiaozhen and Liang Jiankun would kill Hao Jian, he did not know, but he was certain Zhu Guangming definitely couldn't, because Zhu Guangming was not qualified to do so.
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhu Guangming finished speaking, Hao Jian slammed the sofa, weighing over four hundred pounds, down on the fallen security guards - they wouldn't be getting up again any time soon.
Zhu Guangming's face turned green.
Hao Jian also laughed, looking seriously at Zhu Guangming and said, "The rumors are true, I really can take on dozens at once!"
"Is that so?" Zhu Guangming forced out a smile uglier than crying.
"How should I deal with you?" Hao Jian asked with a mocking smile, walking up to Zhu Guangming, patting his shoulder.
Zhu Guangming swallowed hard, internally cursing the useless security guards for being unable to beat one man. Then he looked at Liu Rizhao with a plea for help because he knew only Liu Rizhao could save him now.
Liu Rizhao waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, there's nothing I can do. I've advised you already, but you wouldn't listen. You should think about it, Mr. Hao dared to strike Liang Jiankun and Kong Xiaozhen, which means he is on their level. You dared to provoke him; it's simply courting death. I can't save you."
Hearing this, Zhu Guangming completely despaired, looked at Hao Jian with a pleading gaze, and then suddenly knelt down: "If I say I know I'm wrong, would you believe me?"
"Believe it, but I still have to deal with you!" Hao Jian said very seriously.
"It's not that I won't give you the money. I want to, but it's all Wang Xuantao's doing!" Zhu Guangming suddenly yelled out.
"Wang Xuantao? What has he done?" Hao Jian frowned in surprise. What did this have to do with Wang Xuantao?
Jiang Yutong also stared intently at Zhu Guangming, wanting to understand the reasons from him.
"After Jiang Qihui's work accident, it was Wang Xuantao who came to me. He said as long as I gave him half of the compensation due to Jiang Qihui, he would collude with me and testify that Jiang Qihui's work accident was his own fault. Having him in cahoots with me was why I could suppress the matter so thoroughly." Zhu Guangming spilled everything at this point.
"You know I'm a businessman, I care about profits above all else. As long as I could pay less, damn, anyone would do it. Jiang Qihui worked for Wang Xuantao, and having his boss speak up would certainly add credibility. I also bribed some workers' compensation department officials, so everything ended up being smoothed over in the end.
It's really all Wang Xuantao's fault, it truly has nothing to do with me!"
Hearing this, both Hao Jian and Jiang Yutong were shocked. They never expected Wang Xuantao to play such a role, for a renovation company's boss to collude with a real estate mogul to orchestrate a ruse. Wang Xuantao conspired with outsiders against his own people.
"Despicable! Absolutely despicable!" Jiang Yutong cried in anger. She could never have imagined her Uncle Wang Xuantao would go so far. Her father worked loyally and diligently for him, yet when trouble arose, Wang Xuantao conspired with Zhu Guangming to cheat their family.
```
It was because of Zhu Guangming and Wang Xuantao that his family hadn't had a single good day over the past few years, his mother could only sleep four hours a day, and he didn't even know how much her hair had grayed.
But Wang Xuantao had it good, continuing to enjoy the money Zhu Guangming gave him and expanding his business even further. How could Jiang Yutong not be furious? No, she was beyond furious; she harbored such hatred that she wished Wang Xuantao would drop dead that very moment!
"Not only that, he used the money I gave him to help your family, paying a little bit towards Jiang Qihui's medical expenses, making your family deeply indebted to him.
He's the real scum, a hypocrite through and through," Zhu Guangming now desperately tried to smear Wang Xuantao further because he knew that as long as Wang Xuantao attracted the ire of Hao Jian and the others, he could disassociate himself from the whole affair.
Hao Jian's face was also gloomy as he asked Zhu Guangming, "Does Wang Xuantao's wife, Jiang Huiyun, know about this?"
Wang Xuantao wasn't Jiang Qihui's blood relative and, after all, an outsider; his actions might have been somewhat excusable. But if Jiang Huiyun was involved too, then the nature of the matter would change completely.
"Wang Xuantao's wife?" Zhu Guangming thought for a moment before nodding vigorously, "She definitely knows. When Wang Xuantao came to find me, he was with his wife!"
Hao Jian shook his head and sneered, then turned to look at Jiang Yutong, "Your aunt and uncle, they're really something!"
Jiang Yutong was so filled with hatred that she was gritting her teeth, her chest burning with rage, "I'll never let them get away with this!"
As part of the family, Wang Xuantao and Jiang Huiyun not lending a hand when their family was in trouble was bad enough, but to actually collude with a person like Zhu Guangming to harm them made Jiang Yutong feel like she could kill them right there.
"It seems I should have taken care of them when I was at your place!" Hao Jian also felt some regret; such scum didn't deserve to live.
Alive, they wasted the nation's oxygen; dead, they'd waste the nation's land.
"Mr. Hao, I really didn't intend to withhold the money on purpose, I just felt that Wang Xuantao's proposal was more advantageous for me," Zhu Guangming continued his explanation, trying his best to extricate himself from the situation.

"So, where's the money? Are you giving it or not?" Jiang Shan asked with a cold smirk.
"I'll give it, I'll give it," Zhu Guangming said with a sullen face, where was the courage to refuse? "Apart from the 1.5 million yuan originally owed to Jiang Qihui, I'll personally add another 1.5 million yuan as compensation, totaling 3 million yuan. Is that acceptable?"
"Fine!" Hao Jian nodded, that amount was enough to make up for the losses of Jiang Qihui's family.
"Then, does that mean you'll let me go?" Zhu Guangming asked cautiously, clearly very nervous.
"No, you just tried to have someone cripple me, so as a return gift, I'll have you crippled!"
Hearing this, Zhu Guangming's legs went weak, "But I've already agreed to pay the money."
"Paying the money is what you're supposed to do since you owe Jiang Qihui, but Jiang Qihui's business is none of yours; I expect you to pay up for each issue, understand?" Hao Jian discussed the matter very seriously with Zhu Guangming.
"What if I give you more money, could you not harm me?" Zhu Guangming pleaded, trying to buy his physical integrity with money.
Hao Jian was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore and directly swung a punch at Zhu Guangming's chubby face, sending him flying before crashing into a nearby wall, legs in the air, unable to move so much as his head. That blow had caused his back to give out.
"I want to see the 3 million yuan you're compensating in Jiang Qihui's account within three days; if it's not there, you might as well wait for death," Hao Jian said coldly, then pulled Jiang Yutong and left.
At that moment, Liu Rizhao hurried over, seeing Jiang Shan and the others out of Zhu Guangming's office.
Once out of Zhu Guangming's office, although Jiang Yutong had secured the compensation, she felt no relief from receiving the money, her mood growing even heavier instead.
It's hard for outsiders to comprehend Jiang Yutong's feelings at that moment, as harming one's own kin brings misfortune upon the family.@@novelbin@@
"If you want revenge, I can help. But if you'd rather let it go, I won't insist," Hao Jian said softly, knowing that Jiang Yutong was contemplating whether to take revenge on the couple, Wang Xuantao and Jiang Huiyun.
"No, I want revenge!" Jiang Yutong said firmly, having made up her mind. If Wang Xuantao and Jiang Huiyun could be so cruel as to betray their family, why couldn't they muster the ruthlessness to seek revenge?
"Let's go home; your father deserves to know about this," Hao Jian sighed, patting Jiang Yutong's shoulder.
An hour later, inside the Jiang family home.
The faces of Jiang Qihui and his wife were as gloomy as could be; they had just learned the truth from Hao Jian and Jiang Yutong.
