Twenty minutes later.
Ye Qiu arrived at Qilizhuang Police Station. As he stepped out of the car, he saw thirty to forty soldiers standing at the entrance.
All armed to the teeth.
Ye Qiu moved to enter, but a soldier blocked his path.
“Sorry, the station is dealing with a matter, no unauthorised personnel allowed,” the soldier said sternly.
Ye Qiu ignored him, walking forward.
“How dare you!” The soldier pushed Ye Qiu, but a surge of force from Ye Qiu sent the soldier flying.
By the time the other soldiers reacted, Ye Qiu had already stepped through the station’s doors.
As he entered the hall, he heard Baihua Fairy coldly declare, “He deserved to die!”
Damn, she killed someone and still acts so defiant, this woman really doesn’t know her place!
Ye Qiu’s anger flared again.
He decided, once this was sorted, he’d punish Baihua Fairy harshly.
“Stop!”
Dozens of soldiers followed him in, aiming their guns at Ye Qiu.
The commotion at the entrance drew attention from inside the hall.
Instantly, everyone turned to look.
Ye Qiu spotted Qin Wan at once, standing with Baihua Fairy and Luluo, while Cao Qingcheng sat nearby, her face grim.
On the other side stood a middle-aged man and woman.
The woman was plump, her face caked with makeup, adorned in gaudy jewellery, clearly from wealth.
But now, her makeup was streaked with tears.
Ye Qiu glanced at the woman briefly, then his gaze settled on the man.
The man, around fifty, had thick brows and a commanding presence, exuding the aura of someone long in power.
The police, meanwhile, lurked in the corners, observing.
“What’s going on? I told you to guard the door, how’d you let someone in?” the man barked at the soldiers, his face dark.
“He forced his way in, I… couldn’t stop him,” a soldier explained, bracing himself.
“Useless!”
The man cursed the soldier, then turned to Ye Qiu with a hostile tone, “Get out now, or don’t blame me for what happens next.”
“What happens? How’ll you make it happen?” Ye Qiu grinned, strolling casually to Qin Wan’s side.
The man glanced at Ye Qiu, then at Qin Wan and the others, asking, “Are you with them?”
Luluo spoke up, “Young Master Ye, you’re here, they want to kill us to pay for a life.”
“Don’t worry, now that I’m here, everything will be fine,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
“Fine? Big words!” the man snapped, “They killed my son, they must pay with their lives.”
“Your son deserved it!” Baihua Fairy said.
Cao Qingcheng added, “Wang Liangxin, I’m not one to talk, but with the things your son did, he deserved to be shot ten times over…”
Before she could finish.
The man shouted, “Cao Qingcheng, shut up! This is my family matter. Even if your brother Cao Yuan were alive, I wouldn’t give him face.”
“My son had his flaws, but he was still my son.”
“Now he’s dead, and the killer must pay.”
Ye Qiu said, “I’m afraid that demand can’t be met.”
The woman shouted at the soldiers, “Shoot them all!”
A murderous glint appeared in the man’s eyes.
“Stop!” Cao Qingcheng, seeing the situation escalate, stood up and said to the man, “Even if you’re from the Wang family, you can’t act recklessly.”
“I’m avenging my son, it’s none of your business. Once I deal with them, I’ll deal with you,” the man said, raising his hand.
Swish, swish, swish.
All guns aimed at Ye Qiu and the three women.
“Boom!”
Ye Qiu struck first, throwing a punch that sent dozens of soldiers flying out the door.
This…
Everyone except Baihua Fairy and her group was stunned.
The woman looked as if she’d seen a ghost.
The man’s gaze deepened, realizing Ye Qiu was no ordinary person, and asked, “Who are you?”
“Are you from the Wang family?” Ye Qiu asked, “What’s Wang Rulong to you?”
“He’s my father,” the man said, asking again, “Who are you?”
Ye Qiu didn’t answer, pulling out his phone to make a call.
When it connected, he said, “Wang Rulong? I’m at Qilizhuang Police Station. Your son’s brought soldiers to kill me, you deal with it!”
With that, Ye Qiu hung up.
The man’s heart raced with unease, it was the first time he’d seen someone speak to his father in such a tone.
This kid, he…
How dare he?
Soon, the man’s phone rang, it was his father, Wang Rulong.
He answered, but before he could speak, a torrent of curses came through.
“You bastard, are you tired of living? Daring to cross Mr. Ye, do you want the family to pay for your mistake?”
“Wang Liangxin, I don’t care what you’re doing, stop it now, I’m coming over.”
“If you dare say a single disrespectful word to Mr. Ye before I get there, I’ll end you.”
Wang Rulong raged over the phone, then hung up.
Wang Liangxin was stunned, unable to fathom why his father was so furious over an outsider.
Just fifteen minutes later, an elderly man stormed in.
Slightly stout, dressed in a military uniform, three gold stars gleaming on his shoulders.
Wang Liangxin hurried to greet him, calling, “Father—”
Slap!
The old man slapped Wang Liangxin across the face, roaring, “I’ll deal with you later.”
Then he approached Ye Qiu, bowing humbly, “Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, my son offended you. Whatever punishment you deem fit, we accept without complaint.”
Wang Rulong, deputy commander of the capital’s military district, knew exactly who Ye Qiu was.
When Ye Qiu went to the uninhabited island, Elder Tang had gathered generals at the August First Building, and Wang Rulong was there, witnessing Ye Qiu’s prowess via video.
After Ye Qiu returned from the island, gravely injured and hospitalised for two days, Wang Rulong and other senior generals had visited him.
Ye Qiu said, “General Wang, here’s the situation, your grandson harassed my friend and was killed by her…”
“Good riddance,” Wang Rulong interrupted, “That useless grandson, I’ve wanted to deal with him myself. Mr. Ye, please thank your friend for me.”
Ye Qiu was at a loss for words, dealing with smart people was just this easy.
“Alright, General Wang, take your family and go, I hope this matter ends here.”
“Thank you, Mr. Ye. I’ll visit you another day when you’re free.”
Wang Rulong left with his group.
No sooner had they gone than Ye Qiu’s phone rang again, this time it was Master Longbrow.
Answering the call.
Master Longbrow said excitedly, “Little rascal, I’ve got huge news, I’ve discovered the dragon vein of Kunlun Mountain!”
