Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 450 - You’re Playing with Fire
```
"Miss Shu Ya, although you say that, it's just speculation, isn't it? We can't simply conclude there's a criminal organization lurking in Paris based on that alone. We need to follow the rules. I hope you can inform me about your friend's background and provide a statement so I can start the investigation," Li Mingxiong said in an entirely official tone, implying, "I don't know if it's Night Stars, but you need to give a statement first."
"By the time the statement is taken, who knows where in the world the person will have gone!" At this moment, Hao Jian scoffed and approached Shu Ya with a mocking look at Li Mingxiong.
"Who are you?" Li Mingxiong raised his eyebrows at Hao Jian. Seeing him standing with Shu Ya, he immediately understood something and was annoyed in his heart, thinking, "The good scene is ruined by this jerk."
"I'm the friend of the missing girl; this is my wife!" Hao Jian boasted, hugging Shu Ya. He could clearly see the lecherous gaze of Li Mingxiong; he was telling Li Mingxiong to stop dreaming since Shu Ya was already taken.
Li Mingxiong was annoyed. Hao Jian was obviously showing off.
"I'll have someone come over to take the statement in a while," Li Mingxiong said, his attitude suddenly much colder. Since Shu Ya was already married, he saw no chance for himself and decided not to waste any more time on her.
"I think you should be ordering someone to review the airport's surveillance right now, not wasting time here taking statements," Hao Jian sneered. Li Mingxiong didn't have the look of a cop at all, and with such a serious incident, he was still fussing about statements.
Hao Jian could see that this guy wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Are you the police or am I the police? Do I need you to teach me how to handle a case?" Li Mingxiong retorted angrily, his expression fierce.
"If you're a policeman, you should act like one. My friend has been kidnapped, and if we don't rescue her immediately, she might very well be trafficked somewhere else," Shu Ya said angrily.
"Cut the crap. We'll do things step by step. If you keep rambling, I'll charge you with obstructing official duties!" Li Mingxiong snapped, losing his patience.
"You're wasting your breath with him; I'll investigate," Hao Jian told Shu Ya, having already figured out the police wouldn't be reliable.
"Hold on, did I say you could leave? Get back here!" Li Mingxiong saw Hao Jian trying to leave and smirked coldly. Offend him and think you can run away? If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm not Li Mingxiong!
"Why do you need two people to take a statement?" Hao Jian asked with a frown.
"Right, taking a statement indeed doesn't require two people, but I now suspect you're involved in this kidnapping case. You're very likely a suspect!" Li Mingxiong said with a malicious smile.
"You're just looking for trouble!" Hao Jian said sharply, aware that Li Mingxiong was deliberately making things difficult for him and preventing him from rescuing Yuan Shanshan!
"Looking for trouble? Do you think with your status you're worth my time?" Li Mingxiong sneered but didn't admit to the mockery.
"You're playing with fire." Hao Jian was on the edge of exploding. Normally, he could tolerate Li Mingxiong's foolishness, but now things were different; he didn't have time to waste!
"Quit your damn yapping and stay put, or I'll arrest you for attempting to flee!" Li Mingxiong watched Hao Jian with malicious intent, knowing well what Hao Jian wanted to do, but he was determined not to let him have his way.
He also knew he couldn't pin any charges on Hao Jian, but holding him for a few days wouldn't be a problem; by then, Yuan Shanshan would be god-knows-where.
"After this is over, I will kill you!" Hao Jian said with narrowed eyes, the ferocity in his gaze like that of a beast stalking its prey.
"Threatening a police officer now? Arrest him!" Li Mingxiong pointed at Hao Jian, sneering to himself. Stupid brat, I was just looking for an excuse to nail you, and now you've delivered yourself to me on a silver platter, so you can only blame yourself!
Several French police officers headed towards Hao Jian, but how could he possibly let himself be captured at a time like this? He quickly knocked down the French officers.
"What's your deal?" a two-meter-tall cop, who seemed to be joking, asked in awkward Chinese, not understanding how Hao Jian could be so tough, managing to fight several of them alone.
"My deal, Chinese Kung Fu, so damn awesome it's insane!" Hao Jian patted his chest and said.
Shu Ya covered her face and sighed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"What the hell are you talking about?" The tall cop was confused, his Chinese on par with Hao Jian's French, so phrases like "so damn awesome" went right over his head.
"My deal, fuck your motherfucking mother!" Hao Jian patted his chest and then kicked at the cop's head, stunning him on the spot.
"Damn it, dragged me down to this level and can't get back up," Hao Jian muttered resentfully, unable to revert to his usual tone.
At this point, Li Mingxiong was stunned. After a while, he suddenly gasped, "You... you dared to assault an officer?"
"Put your hands on your head and raise your hands!" Immediately, Li Mingxiong pulled out his own gun, ready to shoot Hao Jian. A sly smile played on his lips. He wasn't originally planning to kill Hao Jian, just to mess with him a bit, but he hadn't expected Hao Jian to be so uncooperative. Since that was the case, he couldn't be blamed.
Hao Jian shook his head with a smile and walked towards Li Mingxiong.

"Stop! I told you to stop!" Li Mingxiong's eyes were practically bursting with rage, but he was also seething with anger. The guy actually dared to mock him—did he truly believe he wouldn't dare to shoot?
However, Hao Jian remained unphased and continued to advance at his own pace towards Li Mingxiong.
"You're asking for it!" Li Mingxiong roared, pulling the trigger to shoot Hao Jian dead.
"Bang!"
The bullet shot out rapidly.
Shu Ya was also startled—she hadn't expected Li Mingxiong to actually fire the gun.
But Hao Jian dove straight for it, snatching the bullet from Li Mingxiong's hand, then grabbed Li Mingxiong by the face with a sly smile, "Don't get... too ahead of yourself!"
Immediately after, Hao Jian violently smashed Li Mingxiong's head into the coffee table behind him. There was a loud crash—glass shattered, and Li Mingxiong laid unconscious amid the broken shards on the floor.
Hao Jian gave the now disfigured Li Mingxiong a deep look before heading outside.
"Hey, what about me?" Shu Ya panicked as she watched Hao Jian leave alone. Hao Jian was leaving, and she was left with a group of unconscious policemen? What was she supposed to do?
"You could take a bath and then get some sleep," Hao Jian said without turning back.
"What?" Shu Ya was confounded. Take a bath and then get some sleep? What did that mean? After such an incident, could she possibly sleep?
Hao Jian stopped, turned his head back to look at Shu Ya: "Since you're not planning on resting, why aren't you hurrying up to follow?"
"Oh," Shu Ya agreed with a tinge of grievance, no longer daring to act spoiled and willful as before—she could tell that Hao Jian was not in a good mood.
The two set off for the Paris airport together. To find the person who had kidnapped Yuan Shanshan, they needed to check the airport's surveillance footage. Only by obtaining the kidnapper's true appearance might they capture him, and through him, find Yuan Shanshan.
"Hello, I'm Officer Li Mingxiong, here's my badge. I need to review the airport's surveillance footage for an abduction case," Hao Jian said to an airport staff member while presenting a badge.
Of course, the badge belonged to Li Mingxiong, but it had been altered with Hao Jian's own photo.
The staff member glanced at the badge, compared it, and then waved Hao Jian and Shu Ya over: "Follow me!"
They led Hao Jian into the surveillance room and showed the footage from the afternoon, where upon exiting the airport just after her flight, a blonde man had been watching Yuan Shanshan closely, eventually even following her out.
That blonde man was naturally Strong. He lurked daily near the airport, scouting for targets, then posing as a handsome driver to pick up girls. Typically, the girls couldn't resist such an attractive driver and naturally got into his car, but what followed was unlucky for them; Strong would directly deliver them to the organization where they'd be imprisoned, forced into drug addiction as a means of control for their exploitation.
This was Night Stars' method of making money: kidnapping women, forcing them into drugs, then exercising control over them to exploit them. The money made from their exploitation was then used to buy more drugs. It was a vicious cycle, and the women gained nothing!
It could be said that every target Night Stars set their sights on would have no other end than being played with until death.
"I remember Yuan Shanshan mentioning that among the people who kidnapped her, there was a blonde man with blue eyes," Shu Ya exclaimed in shock.
At that moment, Hao Jian was staring intently at Strong, and after a long while, he affirmed, "That's him!"
Standing almost two meters tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a scorpion tattoo on his neck—all the features fit!
"What should we do now?"
"Wait," Hao Jian said as he walked out of the surveillance room.
"What? Wait? But we don't have much time," Shu Ya protested anxiously. Time was of the essence, and yet Hao Jian spoke of waiting.
Looking at her as if she were an idiot, Hao Jian said, "By 'wait,' I mean wait for this blonde guy to show up. Since he frequently targets women in the airport, it means he'll appear here again."
"Oh~ I see!" Shu Ya suddenly realized, slapping her palm with an enlightened expression.
Hao Jian rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that Shu Ya was usually quite clever—how could she be so slow at a time like this?
It wasn't really Shu Ya's fault, as the events had shocked her into stupidity, leaving her unable to recover for a long while. And, most importantly, everyone had their own strengths—Shu Ya was skilled in business, while Hao Jian was the expert in these matters.
