My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 419 419: Dead Silent

"Brother Qiang, please don't be angry, don't be angry! That person isn't from our company. Let's talk this out, okay?" he shouted hurriedly.

"Fuck off! Nothing anyone says matters today! Unless Li Qingyan spends the night with me, this isn't over!" Baldy Qiang roared.

"I want him to die. Is that possible?" As the young mistress of the overseas Hongmen, Li Qingyan had never been insulted like this before. She was genuinely enraged.

"Alright, then let him die," Yang Qi said with a nod. "After all, keeping someone like him around does society no good, only harm."

Baldy Qiang was stunned. Is this guy an idiot? He clearly saw how many men I brought with me, yet he still wants me dead? "Hahaha! I'd like to see you try and kill me!" he laughed, his voice dripping with smugness.

Just then, the night was split by the glare of high beams. A dozen cars pulled up, flooding the area with light. The men who got out didn't waste a word. They were more numerous and far more capable, and they quickly forced all of Baldy Qiang's men to the ground.

"B-B-B-B-Brother Ba!" Baldy Qiang was terrified. Xiong Ba is actually here! What's going on?

"Calling me 'daddy'?" Xiong Ba sneered. "It wouldn't matter even if you called me 'grandpa' today. It's useless!"

Before the words had even left his mouth, he drove a fist into Baldy Qiang's face.

Xiong Ba had also begun to practice Martial Arts. Yang Qi had even provided him with a special Martial Arts Method tailored for older men like him to cultivate, along with a significant number of Elixirs.

Xiong Ba was now an Inner Strength Warrior. While not exceptionally powerful, dealing with the likes of Baldy Qiang was still child's play for him.

Baldy Qiang was beaten until his head was a bloody mess, and he collapsed to the ground in utter terror.

Baldy Qiang tried to speak, but Xiong Ba slapped him again, filling his mouth with blood.

"Brother Ba, Brother Ba, please stop! Just tell me how I offended you. Tell me so I can make it right! Please, spare my pathetic life!"

Baldy Qiang's head was buzzing from the blows. There weren't many people in Kang City he was afraid of, but Xiong Ba was definitely one of them.

With Yang Qi's support, Xiong Ba's power had grown swiftly. He had even taken over Huang Borren's entire intelligence network in Kang City. While his disposition had changed, he remained as fierce as ever, his loyalty to Yang Qi absolute.

"Spare you?" Xiong Ba laughed. "You were just screaming about how you were going to kill our boss. Do you really think I'd let you go?" He then turned to Baldy Qiang's men. "All of you, listen up! Come over and slap this bastard. Whoever does it gets to live. Otherwise, none of you are getting out of here. I'll throw every last one of you into the Kang River to feed the turtles! You have five minutes to decide!"

After giving his orders, Xiong Ba approached Yang Qi and bowed. "Boss, it's been a while since I had the chance to do something for you. I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me. You should have called me sooner. I would have wiped out all these bastards for you!"

"Brother Ba, Brother Ba, spare me! I didn't know he was your boss! If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to offend him, not even if you gave me a hundred times the courage! Please, I was wrong! Spare me!"

Baldy Qiang, scared out of his wits, kowtowed repeatedly. If hundreds of people slap me, I'll be beaten to death! Even if I survive, I'll be left with a severe concussion!

The once unassailable and arrogant Baldy Qiang was now nothing more than a whimpering, pitiful dog begging for scraps.

The factory manager was stunned, finally realizing that the person Ms. Ye had brought along was no ordinary man.

Xiong Ba shot Baldy Qiang a cold glance. "Do you think you're going to see tomorrow? You should worry about surviving tonight first. I warned all of you to stop these illegal activities, but you didn't listen. And for not listening, you must pay the price."

Baldy Qiang's face turned deathly pale. He knew Xiong Ba wasn't joking. If Xiong Ba said he wanted him dead, he really meant it.

"Sir, please spare me! I never meant to offend you! I was forced to do this, it wasn't my idea!" Baldy Qiang pleaded, turning to Yang Qi and kowtowing so frantically that his forehead started to bleed.

"Who forced you?" Yang Qi asked with a smile.

"I..." Baldy Qiang trailed off, not daring to speak. He knew that revealing the name would be a death sentence.

Yang Qi fell silent. Baldy Qiang glanced at the time and looked at his men. "There's one minute of consideration time left. What are you going to do?"

"I-I'll do it!" This so-called brotherhood was nothing but a group of fair-weather friends. When faced with real danger, they were more heartless than anyone. The code of the Jianghu? It was a complete joke. How many people were truly willing to uphold it?

The first man walked over and slapped Baldy Qiang hard across the face.

"Hahaha, well done! Kneel over there. You get to live," Xiong Ba laughed, motioning for the man to move to the side.

"Me too!" Once the first person acted, a second was sure to follow. The power of herd mentality was a fearsome thing.

SLAP!

SLAP!

...

After dozens of men had taken their turn, Baldy Qiang's face was a bloody, mangled mess, and his head was spinning.

The factory manager and the other employees were so scared they nearly wet themselves. They knew of Xiong Ba, but they never imagined their own boss could summon such a figure. No wonder she hadn't been worried in the slightest. Her power was simply on another level.

"That's enough," Yang Qi said, waving his hand after the hundredth man had taken his turn. "Are you ready to talk now? If you keep silent, you'll be beaten to death soon. I guarantee that I will find every penny you've hidden away and dispose of it. Your family won't see a single cent. So, think carefully. Who's pulling your strings?"

"Sir... there's really... no one behind us..." Baldy Qiang mumbled, his words slurred. "We just... do this... to make a living..."

"Heh," Yang Qi chuckled. "It seems you don't believe I can find your money."

"Sir, I really don't know what you're talking about! We just got greedy and decided to try our luck with a scam!" Baldy Qiang wailed.

"You just said you were forced, didn't you?" Xiong Ba cursed.

"I was talking nonsense! I wasn't forced at all!" For some reason, Baldy Qiang had changed his story.

"Xiong Ba, continue," Yang Qi said with a cold smile. "Just leave him breathing. I want him to experience the despair of watching all his businesses and assets being seized."

To gain a foothold in this era, you have to be ruthless. You have to be cold-blooded, especially after coming into contact with Cultivators and Martial Artists. Your weakness won't just harm you; it will harm your family as well.

"Continue!" Xiong Ba waved his hand.

The slapping resumed.

At that moment, men from the Heavenly Supervision Hall arrived, led by Lin Weidong.

Seeing the newcomers from the Heavenly Supervision Hall, Baldy Qiang started screaming, "Help me! Please, help me!"

Lin Weidong ignored him completely, jogging over to Yang Qi. "Mr. Yang," he reported, "we've identified the families backing this man. They all recently joined the Medical Association, which is under the Hanfang Association."
