Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 511: Mountain Monster Incident
It seemed she detected the servant's astonishment, and the noblewoman sneered, "Don't treat me like I'm a fool, will you? With the strength of the six Impermanences, killing those two offspring would have been as easy as flipping one's hand, unless someone meddled unnecessarily. Otherwise, those two should have been the ones to die."
The servant was sweating profusely—who would dare to think of you as a fool? Wasn't that simply asking for death?
He answered, "That man is the miss's boyfriend, but his identity and background are unclear. It was he who killed the six Impermanences alone."
The noblewoman's eyebrows knitted together, her cheeks displaying a frosty expression, "Investigate his identity and background for me. I want to know exactly who is making an enemy of the Ye Heavenly Mansion!"
"Furthermore..." The noblewoman's expression suddenly turned fierce. She grabbed the treasured sword that was on the table and swung it back, chopping off the servant's arm right then and there.
"Ah!"
The servant collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony as blood spurted from his arm.
"There is no miss in the Ye Heavenly Mansion. Never let me hear that title again, understood?" the noblewoman coldly stared at the servant.
"Unde... understood!" Where would the servant dare to utter a word of dissent? He quickly nodded his head, his terror reaching extreme levels.
"Now, get out! Do not dirty my lawn with your blood, or else I'll take your life as compensation!" the noblewoman declared without a trace of mercy, her glare icy to the core.
The servant did not dare to delay and ran out of the back garden, dragging his maimed body.
"Bang!"
The noblewoman punched the stone table in anger, causing it to crack instantly. She gritted her teeth and said, "You two miscreants from the Ye family, twenty years ago you escaped, but twenty years later, I will not fail again!"
......
From Ye Linglan's account, Hao Jian learned that the so-called Ye Heavenly Mansion was one of the most powerful sects in Huaxia, with a long history and profound heritage, and was a dominating force in the world of Martial Arts.
Ye Linglan and her brother were the descendants of this supreme sect; they should have been at the pinnacle of the world, yet due to an incident twenty years ago, they fell into dire straits.
Ye Linglan's mother had died early, and not long after, her father was assassinated, which led to his death. After that, the Ye Heavenly Mansion fell under the control of Ye Linglan's stepmother, a woman as venomous as a viper.
In order to secure her own son's legitimate ascent to the position of Sect Master, she plotted to kill Ye Linglan and her brother. However, an Elder who had seen through her scheme helped them escape the Ye Heavenly Mansion that very night, and since then, they had been on the run.
This Elder provided them with information and financial assistance from within the Ye Heavenly Mansion, allowing them to survive until this day, yet they could never return home.
Hao Jian was silent for a long time after hearing this; this was essentially the Eastern version of a prince's tale of revenge.
Hao Jian told Ye Linglan not to worry and assured her that if her adversaries dared to come again, she must inform him immediately, and he would handle the matter.
Moreover, Hao Jian sent people to contact someone from the Ye Heavenly Mansion, hoping to settle the matter through dialogue.
When Hao Jian returned to Chinese Medicine Hospital, as soon as he entered, he noticed Che Xiaoxiao, Zhao Yating, and others were missing.
"Where did Che Xiaoxiao and the others run off to?" Hao Jian asked everyone.
"Apparently, they went hunting," Luo Tong replied.
"Hunting? Where did they go hunting?" Hao Jian asked, puzzled and somewhat annoyed. Were they really skipping his class to go hunting? Clearly, they didn't hold him in high regard.
"I don't know; it was a senior graduate from Chinese Medicine Hospital who took them," he answered.
"Then why didn't you go?" Hao Jian queried, puzzled. Weren't Zhang Jia and Luo Tong inseparable from Che Xiaoxiao and the others? How could they leave those two behind?
"That guy was trying to pick up girls, and since we aren't close to him, why would he take us along?" Luo Tong responded helplessly.
"Exactly, Sun Yibo that guy is really contemptuous of others, always flaunting his family's wealth and fooling around, trying to pick up girls at school every day. Even though he's graduated, he's still up to his old tricks, coming back to the school to chase girls—disgusting!" Zhang Jia expressed her grievances.
"Alright, never mind them, let's start the class," Hao Jian, not wanting to deal with these issues, decided to wait for Che Xiaoxiao and the others to return and then teach them a lesson.
After his lecture, Hao Jian went to the hospital to visit Jessica. At that time, Jessica was lying on the hospital bed, looking much better. Wang Daxiong was feeding her soup with a bowl, overjoyed at knowing that Jessica was out of danger, his face beaming with satisfied smiles.
Jessica also felt somewhat shy since it was her first time being taken care of by someone like this.
Moreover, Hao Jian was surprised to find Qin Bing there as well, since, given such circumstances, Qin Bing couldn't possibly stay uninformed.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
But at that moment, Qin Bing had regained her usual cool and aloof demeanor. Seeing Hao Jian come in, she merely glanced at him indifferently and then turned her head away, as if she didn't recognize Hao Jian at all.
Seeing Hao Jian arrive, Wang Daxiong hurried over to greet him with a respectful bow, "Mr. Hao Jian!"
Hao Jian waved his hand and said, "We're all friends here, no need for that."
"What merits or abilities do I have to dare be your friend?" Wang Daxiong was overjoyed. Hao Jian actually said he was his friend? Just that sentence alone was enough for him to boast for three years.
"If I say you are, then you are!" Hao Jian dropped those words and then ignored the stunned Wang Daxiong, walking towards Jessica, "Feeling any better?"
"Just a minor injury, I'm not dying." Jessica revealed a smile.
"That's all because I've been taking care of him!" Wang Daxiong hurriedly said, as if afraid that Hao Jian might steal his Jessica, declaring his own sovereignty.
"Don't worry, I have no plans to steal your woman." Hao Jian seemed to see through Wang Daxiong's thoughts and said with a light smile.
"Exactly, why get so tense? He's not into men, he likes..." Jessica followed up, then glanced towards Qin Bing not far away.
Qin Bing snorted and turned her head to look out the window, seeming quite unhappy that Jessica mentioned her at this moment.
She was still mad at Hao Jian and didn't want to get involved with him.
"Let's not talk about that. Let's discuss your problem. I've already found the couple responsible for your disfigurement!" Hao Jian said.
Upon hearing this, Jessica's smile instantly froze, clearly knowing who Hao Jian was referring to.
But Jessica hadn't expected that Hao Jian would actually go out of his way to find them for him.
He had only vented at the time, but Hao Jian had kept it in mind and had Spice Ginger search for their whereabouts. It took half a month, but finally there was some progress.
Hearing Hao Jian's words, Wang Daxiong couldn't help his rage, because he too knew of Jessica's ordeal and hated that couple to the bone.
"How do you want to deal with them? Just say the word, and I'll make sure you get your wish," Hao Jian said with a smile.
"I… want revenge!" Jessica said through clenched teeth, having woken up from nightmares countless times over the years. Each time he woke up, what echoed in his mind was his wife's cold, disdainful gaze, along with that treacherously smirking face.
"Then you better get well soon and leave the hospital," Hao Jian said with a smile. As soon as Jessica was discharged, he would take him to get his revenge. The wicked must pay the price.
"And you, since you love him, you should treat him well, stop playing with that SM stuff, he doesn't like it," Hao Jian turned his head and cautioned Wang Daxiong. In fact, with Wang Daxiong's love for Jessica, as long as those low tastes were avoided, they were quite compatible.
"That, I thought he liked it!" Wang Daxiong scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Liked it my ass, shut your mouth!" Jessica scolded, his face turning a bit red.
"Oh," Wang Daxiong said, feeling a bit wronged. Ever since the last time Jessica had dealt with him, he had become even more fascinated by Jessica and naturally followed Jessica's words obediently now.
Hao Jian was taken aback and soon chuckled wryly, it seemed he had been overthinking. Jessica had indeed kept Wang Daxiong in line.
Just then, Hao Jian suddenly saw a news report on TV, featuring an on-site interview by a reporter.
It was a desolate forest, now filled with police cars and caution tape.
"Officer Lin, what is your opinion on this incident? Many locals say a mountain monster has attacked people, is that true?" asked the female reporter to a police officer.
"That's nonsense, we should trust in science, there are no such things as monsters in this world," Officer Lin said with a smile.
"Really? Then why do so many villagers say it's a mountain monster? The casualty number has already exceeded twenty people, and according to the victims' accounts, the attacker was not a wild animal. What do you think about this?" the reporter continued to press.
"I personally think it's very likely that the victims, due to severe fright, were stimulated and developed hallucinations, thus believing it was a mountain monster," Officer Lin said in an official tone.
"So, has the police determined what exactly is attacking people?"
"The police are actively investigating, and I believe we will have results soon. Meanwhile, I hope that everyone avoids going into the mountains in the near future to prevent unnecessary dangers," said Officer Lin, growing gradually impatient since those villagers' senseless claims had put him in a tough spot.
How was he supposed to know what was attacking people? Everyone said it was a mountain monster, but he couldn't say that; otherwise, if it got out, he'd have to pack up and leave.
After listening to the interview, Hao Jian's brows furrowed deeply, and he immediately called Luo Tong, "Which mountain did Che Xiaoxiao and the others go hunting on?"
"Jade Spirit Mountain," Luo Tong said, puzzled as to why Hao Jian was asking this.
Hao Jian's pupils constricted, because the mountain the reporter had just reported on was Jade Spirit Mountain.
