Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 853 - 852: Giving You a Piece of Advice

"Was it really a technical mistake?!"

Seeing Bamboo Pole's righteous and confident demeanor, Hao Jian's face shifted between light and shadow. He lacked enough evidence to prove his suspicions. If he had indeed wronged Bamboo Pole, it wouldn't be good news for him either.

At the very least, it would deal a blow to his reputation.

"Yes! Yes! It really was a technical mistake!"

Noticing the decrease in Hao Jian's killing intent, Bamboo Pole felt a surge of joy in his heart. Without changing his expression, he quickly responded.

Although he was unclear about how Hao Jian had managed to avoid the bomb's explosion, the priority was to stabilize Hao Jian for the time being. As long as his cover wasn't blown, he could guide the Mercenary Alliance members to come. Once they caught up, they would kill Hao Jian and capture the doctor.

The orders Bamboo Pole received in his home country were to deal with Hao Jian, if possible...

"Then I will tentatively believe you. But if I find you making similar mistakes again, I, Hao Jian, will definitely not show mercy!"

After pondering, Hao Jian decided to let this guy off for now. After all, if he killed Bamboo Pole without any evidence, it would inevitably unsettle the Divine Tiger members.

However, this didn't mean Hao Jian trusted him; his instincts told him this guy was hiding something...

But Hao Jian didn't point it out, since he had already said he would tentatively trust him, so he would do just that.

"Leader."

Upon seeing Hao Jian turn around, Lion glanced at Bamboo Pole, who lay on the ground gasping for air, and then at Hao Jian, hesitating before speaking.

"It's nothing."

Hao Jian shook his head, with no intention of explaining anything to Lion. He walked over to his car, patted Chi Ruo on the shoulder, and called out, "Hey, wake up!"

Hao Jian didn't put much force into it, merely enough to knock her unconscious. Considering they had left the Mercenary Alliance base and taken a long detour to avoid surveillance cameras that could track them back to the base, she should be about to wake up.

"Huh? Is it morning?"

Chi Ruo sleepily opened her eyes to find brightness before her. She stretched lazily and uttered the words that immediately made Hao Jian's face fall.

How on earth did this woman come up with something that caught the attention of both the nation and the Mercenary Alliance?! How could she be so oblivious?!

Watching Chi Ruo's demeanor, Hao Jian felt rather helpless. He had originally wanted to wake her up to argue about how she almost got him caught back at the base, but seeing her like this, Hao Jian no longer pursued the matter...

Because he realized that even if he did pursue it, it would be of no use whatsoever!

"Why am I here? You... you didn't go to rescue them! And you knocked me out?"

In the next moment, Chi Ruo's eyes widened, fury gradually filling them, as she shouted at Hao Jian, "Why didn't you save them?!"

"You think I didn't want to?! Did you even look at the situation at that time?! I almost got killed because of you. If it weren't for that old man's orders to bring you back safely to the nation, I couldn't care less about you!"

Faced with Chi Ruo's unfair accusations, Hao Jian couldn't hold back his ire, rolling his eyes and retorting irritably, "Do you think the Mercenary Alliance guys are easygoing?! If it weren't for my quick thinking, I would be dead by now, and you would have been taken by them to endlessly continue with your damned re

"Don't worry about it, just listen to me, and you won't be wrong."

Seeing Lion still wanting to speak, Hao Jian waved his hand and walked toward his car. He had said all he intended to; whether Lion trusted his words was not his concern. After all, the only person he had to protect was Chi Ruo; the lives of others didn't weigh as much as hers.

Even if Lion's attitude towards him changed, that didn't mean much. Hao Jian did not appreciate an underling who had doubts about him. If this time Lion did well and safely returned home, Hao Jian wouldn't mind promoting this guy.

After all, his capabilities were rare. Although this guy was part of Divine Tiger, not long after joining, he went out on a mission with Ling Hai and Ling He, so relatively speaking, his sentiment towards Divine Tiger wasn't all that deep.

.............................................

The group packed up quickly; within six minutes after Hao Jian gave Lion a warning, they were ready. Three SUVs were leading the way, with two vans carrying important tools in the middle, followed by Lion's business van and Hao Jian's Mercedes sports car at the rear.

In the end, Lion heeded Hao Jian's advice and did not let Bamboo Pole get into his van, instead having him go with the people in the van. As for Hao Jian, even if Bamboo Pole had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare approach, not wanting to reveal any flaws for Hao Jian to discover.

Besides, Hao Jian's sports car only had two seats, one of which was already taken by Chi Ruo. How could there be room for him?

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

Right after Hao Jian's group had just left the base, over a hundred vehicles with sirens appeared at the formerly occupied gates of their base...

These vehicles were of various makes and models, all of them, but they all had one thing in common - they were all SUVs...

"It seems they haven't left long ago..."

Will descended from a vehicle, looked at the building in front of him with its independent yard, pondered for a moment, then waved his big hand, and a subordinate ran over quickly.

"Take some people and search this place, see if 34 has left us any clues!"

Will didn't believe that the liaison officer would leave them without any signal. That female doctor was very important to the Mercenary Alliance, and if they couldn't bring her back, even Will's status in the Mercenary Alliance would be futile, and he would be discarded...
