Li Qingmei asked, "Ye Tian gege, Ding Xin said she is in great pain now?"
Ye Tian nodded, "I used methods on them. Every so often, they will experience a pain worse than death, several times more agonizing than the poison's relapse."
Li Qingmei replied, "Then don't kill them. Lock them up somewhere and let them endure this torment forever. Otherwise, our hatred will not be appeased."
Xu Longxiao chuckled, "We can do that. I'll assign people to confine them in a place where they will live a life worse than death."
Ye Tian stated, "These two also hold shares in Times Technology. Transfer their shares to the Li family first."
Xu Longxiao responded, "Of course, I'll find someone to handle this matter."
At this moment, Ye Tian looked at Hou Jinfang again and asked, "Hou Jinfang, do you want to die, or do you want to end up like Ding Xin?"
Hou Jinfang's face turned ashen. He kowtowed to the Li Xiang'en family and said, "I am guilty. Moreover, in my life, I have done many bad deeds. Dying now can be considered a form of atonement."
He then looked at Ye Tian, "Mr. Ye, you are a master. Please grant this old Hou a swift end. Also, after I die, please leave some of my assets for my family, and donate the rest to charity."
Ye Tian inquired, "You have a family?"
Hou Jinfang gave a bitter smile, "My daughter is only six years old."
Li Xiang'en and his wife exchanged glances. They were both kind people, and upon hearing that Hou Jinfang had a daughter, they felt a pang of sympathy.
Li Xiang'en said, "Xiao Tian, why don't we let him go? He's not the main culprit anyway."
Ye Tian declared, "Did you hear that? I'm sparing your life! However, you must transfer all your properties and funds to the Li family. If you fail to do so, I will find you at any time and continue to make your life worse than death!"
Hou Jinfang was overjoyed and replied, "Yes, yes, I will definitely comply."
Ye Tian threw him a dagger and said coldly, "Cut off one hand before you leave!"
Hou Jinfang did not hesitate. He severed his left hand with a swift cut, then cried out in pain, nearly fainting.
Ye Tian commanded, "Get out!"
Hou Jinfang left, clutching his severed hand. Zhao Juntian, who was kneeling on the ground, looked grim.
Ye Tian asked, "Zhao Juntian, do you want to lose a hand or a foot?"
Li Xiang'en sighed softly and said, "Xiao Tian, let it be. Let this matter end here."
Ye Tian sneered, "Zhao Juntian, you're lucky. Kowtow your apology, then get out."
Zhao Juntian kowtowed three times to the Li family, then turned and left, having managed to save his life.
Xu Longxiao smiled, "Mr. Ye, thank you for giving me this face."
Ye Tian replied, "I am not killing him because I have no right to."
Xu Longxiao nodded, "You are right."
Ye Tian said, "Let's change rooms. I will perform acupuncture for you."
Xu Longxiao booked another room at the hotel. Ye Tian then proceeded with his acupuncture, suppressing Xu Longxiao's cultivation. This way, he could preserve his power and avoid further descent into that terrible abyss.
As a master who had touched upon the Human Immortal realm, Xu Longxiao's senses were acute. After Ye Tian's acupuncture, the terrifying sensation immediately vanished. He was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Ye Tian responded, "No need for formalities, Brother Xu. I will also have to take that step sooner or later, and I will need to seek your guidance then."
Xu Longxiao laughed heartily, "Seeking guidance is too much to say. If you ever need my help, Brother Ye, just ask!"
Xu Longxiao could not leave yet. Subsequently, Zhao Juntian transferred ten percent of Jun Tian Group's equity to the Li family. The shares of Times Technology held by Ding Xin and others also returned to the Li family.
The Li family established a new company, registered as En Tian Group, with the character "Tian" referring to Ye Tian.
The next day, when handling company procedures, Li Xiang'en and Li Qingmei insisted on bringing Ye Tian along. Upon signing, Ye Tian was astonished to discover his name on the shareholder list of En Tian Group, holding a staggering thirty-five percent of the shares.
He quickly asked, "Uncle Li, Xiao Mei, what are you doing? Why am I also a shareholder of the company?"
