If Hao Jian still pretended to be unbothered and greeted him with a smile, that would be fine. Although both knew the truth, as long as they didn't expose the facade, they could continue to fake their friendship with each other.
But Hao Jian did the exact opposite. Not only did he not bother with a fake smile, but even his tone and words changed. He's not a fool; he knows Hao Jian deliberately said those words and didn't just blurt them out by accident. Since it was intentional, it was a direct challenge.
If Hao Jian hadn't said those words, it might have been alright, but he didn't expect Hao Jian would actually say them. So, suddenly, he couldn't hold back his temper any longer and abruptly reached out to hit Hao Jian's shoulder.
Ma Jingxuan thought to himself, "If I can't outmuscle you, I refuse to believe that all my professional training won't let me handle someone like you who understands nothing."
