Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 584: Unlimited News Agency
Their company was preparing to legally accuse Xintong Daily of defamation, but unexpectedly, Hao Jian actually wanted to visit the place.
"They were the first newspaper to interview Sun Yibo. Don't you find that odd? How could a newspaper just randomly decide to interview a ne'er-do-well?" Hao Jian said with a laugh.
"Are you saying they were also instructed?" Su Xinya said in astonishment.
"Exactly, and I think they must have accepted quite a few benefits!" Hao Jian scoffed.
"I'll go with you!" Su Xinya grabbed her shoulder bag with a cold expression. She also wanted to ask the chief editor of Xintong Daily why they wanted to tarnish her reputation.
Hao Jian just shrugged his shoulders and did not refuse.
Soon, the two arrived at Xintong Daily, and when they walked into the newspaper office, everyone cast shocked glances at them.
Clearly, everyone recognized Hao Jian and Su Xinya. But what they didn't expect was that they would dare to show up at their newspaper office, and even together. Didn't they know it was a sensitive period? Both of them should be striving to dissociate themselves from one another, so why were they still together? Were they trying to ruin everything?
Some reporters didn't want to miss this exciting moment and quickly took out their cameras to snap photos of Hao Jian and Su Xinya.
Hao Jian didn't mind them and directly asked, "Where is your chief editor?"
"Oh, isn't this the most infamous adulterer—" a young man wearing glasses appeared, looking in his twenties, with a high nose bridge and large glasses, and an overall scholarly appearance.
Hao Jian and Su Xinya naturally caught the sarcasm in his words and both furrowed their brows.
"I really didn't expect you, already in such a precarious situation, would dare to show up here. Aren't you afraid of dying?" the man in glasses mocked.
"Where we appear or what we do is our business, and what does that have to do with you? Just a minion, don't get over yourself." Hao Jian said indifferently, not even giving the man in glasses a glance, finding his effort to gain a sense of presence in front of him simply laughable.
The man in glasses' expression soured at being insulted by Hao Jian, who retorted angrily, "Why are you so arrogant? You and your lover crippled Sun Yibo. Do you think you can escape? Hao Jian, no matter how rich you are, you should just wait to go to jail!"
"Are you done? Can you get lost now?" Hao Jian asked emotionlessly.
"The ones who should get lost are you, you despicable man and woman! Our Xintong Daily doesn't welcome the likes of you!" the man in glasses fiercely retorted, feeling utterly humiliated.
"Brother, don't get yourself into trouble," Hao Jian glanced at him sideways, also feeling a bit of rage.
This bespectacled man kept trying to find a sense of superiority over him, which made Hao Jian increasingly impatient.
He had intended to ignore just a noisy fly, but if this fly kept buzzing endlessly, then he had no choice but to slap it dead.
"I didn't say anything wrong about you. Aren't you just an adulterer?" the man in glasses said with a sneer.
And hearing these words, Su Xinya's face turned extremely grim.
"Sigh... I really didn't want to cause trouble," Hao Jian sighed and walked up to the man in glasses.
"What do you want to do? You want to hit someone? I'm telling you, if you dare touch a single hair on me, I'll write you to death!" the man in glasses threaten arrogantly.
"Slap!"
Hao Jian slapped him directly across the face, causing his glasses to skew, and simultaneously, the man in glasses spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
"You dare to hit me? You actually dare to hit me?" the man in glasses said resentfully, never having imagined that Hao Jian would really dare to strike him.
"You just wait, if I don't kill you, I'll write my name backwards!" the man in glasses fiercely said. "We have surveillance here, and we will definitely release the footage of you hitting me!"
Before the words had even finished, Hao Jian had already reached out and kicked the man in glasses several meters away, knocking him into an office desk, rendering him unconscious.
"Trivial clown," Hao Jian said indifferently with a smile, then looked at the reporters, "Any of you want to meddle in other people's business?"
The reporters were terrified and kept their heads down, not daring to speak.
"Click!"
Just then, the door to the chief editor's office opened, and a bald middle-aged man came out with an unfriendly look, addressing Su Xinya and Hao Jian, "Come in!"
Afterward, Hao Jian entered the editor-in-chief's office with Su Xinya. Hao Jian glanced at a business card on the desk and smiled, "Wen Hanwen, is it?"
"You guys are quite bold, huh? Even now, you still dare to team up and come here," Wen Hanwen teased.
"You should know that what your reports say isn't the truth!" Su Xinya angrily said, Their current predicament was all because of the irresponsible reporting by Wen Hanwen's newspaper, wasn't it?
They accused them of colluding disgracefully to harm Sun Yibo and even claimed they murdered Zuo Xinglong to silence him. All these were reported by the Xintong Daily.
"So what? The masses have never cared about the truth, just gossip!" Wen Hanwen said proudly, "Speaking of which, I should actually thank you. If it weren't for you, our newspaper wouldn't have sold so well!"
"You are fabricating news, misleading the public, maliciously slandering others, and that's illegal!" Su Xinya said through gritted teeth.
But Wen Hanwen remained unmoved, coldly chuckling, "And then? What can you do to me? How would the public know what is real news and what is fake news?"
"Then just wait until you end up in prison! I've recorded everything you just said!" Su Xinya shook the recording pen in her hand. The moment she entered the newspaper office, she had turned on the recording pen, hoping to capture some of Wen Hanwen's criminal evidence.
"Wow, I am so scared," Wen Hanwen said with exaggerated expression, then dismissively said, "Why don't you play it and let me hear what you've recorded?"
Seeing Wen Hanwen still so arrogant, Su Xinya was stunned for a moment and quickly played the recording pen, only to find that it recorded nothing but static noise.

"How could this be?" Su Xinya couldn't believe it, as this recording pen, which had cost her thousands, was usually very reliable.
"That's useless, he must have installed some kind of jamming device in the office," Hao Jian just then spoke up, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
"Smart!" Wen Hanwen gave Hao Jian a thumbs up, then laughed heartily, "Indeed, I have installed a jamming device in this office, any recording pens and cameras automatically become useless. Did you really think I would be so foolish to tell you everything just like that?"
Su Xinya was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Wen Hanwen to be so cunning as to have a jamming device installed in his own office.
"Don't be so surprised. In our line of work, how could we not be cautious? Let's cut to the chase, tell me, what do you want from me?" Wen Hanwen asked.
"I hope you can clarify what happened this time, tell the public what the facts really are, and not deliberately distort the truth," Hao Jian said earnestly.
"What's the benefit for me? I don't do things that bring me no benefit!" Wen Hanwen arrogantly said, boldly demanding a favor directly from Hao Jian, the audacity reaching its peak.
Hao Jian understood what he meant and pulled a check from his jacket then said, "Here is a ten-million check, a small token, I hope you won't refuse."
"Ten million? Are you trying to mock me as a beggar?" Wen Hanwen sneered, not even bothering to take the check.
"Don't go too far, you were the one who slandered us first, why should we pay you?" Su Xinya was furious. They had done nothing wrong, so why should they be blackmailed by Wen Hanwen? Is there no justice in this world?
Wen Hanwen sneered coldly, "You can choose not to pay, but then, you won't be able to recover your reputation. Vice Chairman Hao, if I'm not mistaken, your group is at a critical period of growth. If something goes wrong now, you'd be penny wise and pound foolish, hahaha..."
"How much money do you want?" Hao Jian asked angrily, seemingly enraged by Wen Hanwen.
"One billion! Just give me one billion, and I'll go out and clarify everything immediately!" Wen Hanwen raised one finger to Hao Jian.
"One billion? Why don't you go rob someone?" Su Xinya fumed internally.
But Hao Jian stopped her from speaking further and took out a checkbook, then wrote down a series of numbers, "When can you restore my corporation's reputation?"
Wen Hanwen, ecstatically accepting the money, laughed loudly, "Tomorrow! I will hold a press conference tomorrow and clarify that all this was a misunderstanding!"
Smack!
Hao Jian threw another check on the table, his gaze burning into Wen Hanwen, "Here's another billion, just tell me who directed you, and this check is yours!"
"It's Liang Jiankun, Liang Jiankun directed me!" Wen Hanwen, seeing the money, immediately betrayed Liang Jiankun, then hurriedly grabbed the check, his face flushing with excitement.
Making two billion so suddenly, he thought his modest newspaper could never earn that much money in a lifetime.
"So it was Liang Jiankun," Hao Jian shook his head and sneered, rhythmically tapping on the desk. It seemed Liang Jiankun had already made some kind of decision.
Kong Xiaozhen chose to surrender, while Liang Jiankun chose to battle him to the end.
"Also, Xu Rongde is Liang Jiankun's man. That kid who tried to hurl manure on Su Xinya was found by Xu Rongde, then conjured a lie to frame Su Xinya. Actually, Liang Jiankun has been targeting you from the beginning, using Su Xinya as a cover. His plan was to sabotage Su Xinya to affect your corporation's development, killing two birds with one stone!" At this point, Wen Hanwen, seeing Hao Jian's generous hand, naturally spilled everything.
