Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1486 - 1685: Do You Dare to Bet?

Chapter 1486

The murderer's identity remains a mystery; whether they are male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, there's no clue whatsoever.
If things continue like this, it will likely cause enormous panic in Hua City.
By then, no one will dare to go outside, malls will close, schools will suspend classes, and nobody will venture out. The whole of Hua City will become like a dead city.
At that time, the responsibility on the police will be significant.
The higher-ups will definitely order Hua City's police to solve the case immediately, otherwise, the entire police force there will be deemed negligent. It might even provoke the higher-ups to overhaul Hua City's police department.
So, there's not much time left for the police now.
Hao Jian realized Liang Yuwei's intentions, but what she didn't understand was why Liang Yuwei sought him out.
Hao Jian nodded, indicating he knew about the murder case.
Only then did Liang Yuwei continue, "Since you know, I assume you're willing to help. As long as you assist in investigating the case, the police will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Saying this, Liang Yuwei gave Hao Jian a meaningful look.
How could Hao Jian not understand Liang Yuwei's implication? It was nothing more than helping to cover up the fact that he spread rumors about the Yang Family father and son, and if there were any issues in the future, he could seek help from her, Liang Yuwei.
After all, Liang Yuwei still has some influence within the police; getting something done with her help isn't difficult at all.
Unexpectedly, Hao Jian unceremoniously said, "No time!"
No time!
These three words instantly halted what Liang Yuwei was about to say.
"You..." Liang Yuwei wanted to say something but stopped.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly arose outside the door.
It turned out a group of people were making a fuss outside, wanting to come in, but Jiang Long was firmly blocking their way.
Hao Jian smiled helplessly.
This place is usually quite deserted, who would have thought it'd be so lively today?
Hao Jian waved his hand, signaling to Jiang Long to let the group in.
Jiang Long then opened the door, letting the people inside.
As soon as the door opened, seven or eight male police officers hurried over.
Hao Jian had seen the leader online before; apparently, he was some high-ranking offspring, currently working in the police, and like Liang Yuwei, he was quite capable, solving numerous cases since joining the force, gaining some fame. Recently, the police department heavily promoted his achievements.
He looked quite decent, with clear features, which in Hao Jian's eyes, could be considered a pretty boy.
His name, seemed to be Yan Chen, right, Yan Chen.
That's roughly what Hao Jian thought.
Yan Chen led a large group and hurriedly came over.
Still, Yan Chen completely disregarded Hao Jian, walked straight to Liang Yuwei without a glance at him.
Then he said, "Yuwei, I just heard someone say you're stooping low to ask this Hao Jian for help to solve the case. Trust me, will you? Give me some time, and I promise I can solve this case right away. Why humble yourself to seek help from this guy? What ability does he have to help solve the case?"
Saying this, Yan Chen pointed at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian looked indifferent.
This person not only looked down on him but also showed complete disdain.
Hao Jian felt a bit helpless.
Yan Chen kept talking to Liang Yuwei, but unexpectedly, Liang Yuwei looked at him with a cold expression.
Liang Yuwei glared angrily at Yan Chen, then said, "Who do you think you are? Whatever I do is my own business, who are you to interfere?"
"Yuwei, you..." Yan Chen suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
At this moment, Yan Chen's gaze shifted to meet Hao Jian's.
Imagine, he was a high-ranking offspring with wealth, power, and influence, a prestigious social status, personally an outstanding talent, how long had he been in the police before frequently solving remarkable cases, gaining great fame? He was quite the handsome figure; during school, countless girls admired him. Even after graduation, many pursued him. But after joining the police, he was captivated by this girl, Liang Yuwei.
For many years, it was always girls who chased him; he never pursued any girls before. But after meeting Liang Yuwei, he changed his ways and instead pursued her.
It wasn't easy for him either.
But for some reason, this Liang Yuwei just didn't like him. Clearly, he was so outstanding, yet she wouldn't even spare him a proper glance.
But it was precisely this that made him more determined; isn't the harder chase all the more exciting?
As time went on, slowly, Liang Yuwei's attitude towards him improved slightly. She no longer completely ignored him as she used to. After all, they were both in the police force and often crossed paths, so when he took the initiative to greet her, she would at least respond with a slight "Hmm".
But today, Liang Yuwei suddenly treated him so coldly again.
This made Yan Chen's heart sink to the ground instantly.
All those days of hard work were now wasted just like that.
Of course, the main thing was that one sentence Liang Yuwei said that completely chilled Yan Chen to the bone.
"Who do you think you are?"
Saying this clearly meant she wanted to cut ties with him, which made Yan Chen's anger reach its peak. But looking at Liang Yuwei, he didn't dare say a word.
He then noticed Hao Jian sitting across from Liang Yuwei with a silly grin, looking at her. That expression made him want to walk over and punch him a few times. If it weren't for Liang Yuwei's presence, preventing him from showing his rough side, he would've beaten up Hao Jian for sure.
All of this was ruined by that brat right in front of him. If it weren't for him, Yuwei's attitude towards him would still be good. But after seeing this brat today, Yuwei's attitude towards him changed so drastically; it was all because of this brat.
Yan Chen shifted all his anger to Hao Jian. In his view, everything was definitely because of Hao Jian.
What he didn't know was that Liang Yuwei had always disliked him. The reason she later responded to his greetings was just out of courtesy as colleagues, nothing more.
Yan Chen rushed over to Hao Jian and then glared at him angrily, saying, "Who the hell are you, and what makes you think you're so great!"
Hao Jian didn't say a word.
Xie Qianqian, perhaps fed up with Yan Chen's behavior, walked over to Hao Jian, grabbed Yan Chen's hand that was pointing at Hao Jian, pulled it, and then kicked him.
She kicked Yan Chen so hard that he staggered back several steps. If Xie Qianqian hadn't held back, that kick could've sent Yan Chen sprawling.
Yan Chen awkwardly stood up again to regain his balance.
"You…"
Yan Chen looked at Xie Qianqian, wanting to explode, but seeing she was a girl, he hesitated. He feared that if he lost his temper with a girl and Liang Yuwei saw, it would ruin his image in Yuwei's mind, so he restrained his anger.
On the other hand, Liang Yuwei was secretly shocked seeing Xie Qianqian make a move.
She knew Yan Chen's strength. Even though his character was awful, his strength was undeniable. She didn't expect a seemingly ordinary girl next to Hao Jian to kick Yan Chen like that. It was clear Xie Qianqian hadn't used much strength.
Since the people around Hao Jian were so strong, Hao Jian must be even stronger.
Liang Yuwei looked at Hao Jian with excitement and said, "No matter what, you must help me this time!"
Before Hao Jian could say anything, Yan Chen, unable to hold back, spoke up.
Yan Chen said to Liang Yuwei, "Yuwei! I'll help you, okay? Must you ask this guy for help? I can assure you, this guy surely has no skills, just sitting here pretending to be impressive. I'll help you, and then the two of us can work together. With our combined strength, I don't believe there's any case that can be difficult for us to solve."
Yan Chen was lost in his own fantasy of the scenario.
However, Liang Yuwei didn't even acknowledge him but instead looked at Hao Jian, waiting for his answer.
Hao Jian had a playful smile.
He initially refused Liang Yuwei, not without reason; he just wanted to tease her, wanting to see her angrily confront him, watching her chest bounce. It was quite a sight to behold, really pleasing to the eye.
But the sudden appearance of Yan Chen made Hao Jian change his mind.
Originally, Hao Jian had planned to continue teasing Liang Yuwei, but given the situation, he just agreed directly.
A beautiful woman asking for help, with the possibility of sharing some good stories along the way, and becoming indebted to him—why not?
Hao Jian looked at Liang Yuwei and suddenly said, "Alright, no problem!"
Hao Jian's words instantly made Liang Yuwei happy, her face glowing with excitement. She stood up and extended her hand to Hao Jian, saying, "Pleasure working with you!"
Hao Jian also stood up, shook Liang Yuwei's hand, and said, "Pleasure working with you!"
He then took the opportunity to touch Liang Yuwei's hand a bit longer. It felt smooth and gorgeous.
Yan Chen, watching from the side, was infuriated. He wanted to pry Hao Jian's hand away. That was the hand he had dreamed about holding, and now this guy was holding it, looking so smug. It was heart-wrenching for him.
Then Liang Yuwei gave him a furious look, and Yan Chen didn't dare to make a move.
After Liang Yuwei let go, Hao Jian also withdrew his hand.
At this moment, Yan Chen glared at Hao Jian and said, "Alright, since you love to act tough, let's make a bet. If I solve the case before you, you have to kneel, apologize, and call me grandpa three times. If you win, I'll kneel, apologize, and call you grandpa three times. Do you dare to bet?"
