The soldiers rushed in not long after.
On the third floor, the gunfire erupted like popping beans!
Screams echoed.
But there was no turning back now!
The Qin, Ma, and Niu families, their combined influence was formidable throughout Beihai City. Yet, they provoked Ye Zixiao and ended up annihilated.
The ones who annihilated them were the very regular army they had summoned. Was it unjust? Not at all, because they were all guilty. They had genuinely participated in the human trafficking racket.
Three minutes passed…
The soldiers descended. The commanding regimental commander, not following orders to the letter, cleverly brought Qin Hanshan and a few other key figures out.
"Kneel!"
"Damn it, I told you to kneel!"
"You dog!"
The soldiers jabbed with their rifle butts and hurled insults.
Five or six leaders all knelt.
"Reporting to the officer, mission accomplished."
After standing at attention and reporting, the regimental commander shrewdly positioned himself behind Ye Zixiao. He was currying favor, signaling that he knew how to handle things, by keeping the main culprits alive for him.
"Leader, what's happening?"
"Officer, how could this happen?!"
"I don't want to die, spare me!"
Qin Hanshan and the other leaders wept.
Most people in such a predicament would lose their nerve to bluster. All they could do was beg for mercy, praying to heaven for a chance to live.
But heaven is fair.
Great wickedness must be punished by death!
"Sect Leader Jiang, Miss Tang, we shall take our leave. Please inform Officer Ling from Longdu that we will ensure Beihai City's public order is well-maintained. Assure the higher-ups."
"Farewell, we must take our leave!"
The deputy military commander and deputy mayor, without even glancing at the kneeling Qin family members, ordered the army to withdraw. After exchanging greetings with Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke, they got into their cars and departed.
A brief silence followed the scene.
Then, the Lin family contingent erupted.
"Qin Hanshan, not so mighty anymore?"
"Damn your mother, I want revenge!"
"Brothers, let's chop them down!"
The loyal followers of the Qin family were enraged. They had been bullied for too long and now finally had a chance. Even if they couldn't fight, venting their anger with shouts was satisfying!
"Zixiao, what do we do?"
Lin Qingzhu's expression was icy cold.
She paid no mind to showing goodwill to Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke, nor did she consider the reasons for this outcome. Her sole desire now was to deal with their enemies and avenge the Lin family.
"Little brother-in-law."
Ye Zixiao called out calmly.
"Big brother, I'm here."
Lin Bin scurried over.
"You are the third young master, and you must shoulder responsibility. From now on, let your second sister handle fewer of the killing. She's a woman; her role is to be beautiful, understand?"
"Absolutely!"
Lin Bin immediately understood.
With a wave of his hand, he shouted to the loyal followers of his family, "Gentlemen, raise your swords! Damn it, let's all extend our hands and send Qin family trash to hell!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The entire Lin family contingent was electrified.
"Ye Zixiao—"
Qin Hanshan glared with bulging eyes and shouted, "I lost, and I admit defeat, but don't get too cocky. People from the Xiao family in Jiangcheng are arriving soon. When the Xiao family comes, even the King of Heaven can't protect you."
"Wife, let's go!"
Ye Zixiao didn't even acknowledge Qin Hanshan.
He led Lin Qingzhu towards Jiang Xiaoyao.
"Damn it, kill them all!"
Lin Bin commanded like a starving wolf.
Countless sabers whistled down.
The Qin family was annihilated!
Thus, under the meticulous care of the formidable Ye Zixiao, the Lin family gradually began to grow stronger and more prosperous. Ye Zixiao and Lin Qingzhu, too, became renowned figures throughout the city.
The most beautiful woman inspired envy in other women.
The suited thug became an idol!
Of course, that was a story for another time…
About an hour later, Ye Zixiao, having not encountered the so-called Xiao family members, accompanied by Lin Qingzhu, followed Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke to a highly private club.
In the top VIP private room, the aroma of tea perfumed the air!
Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke sat side by side. Ye Zixiao and Lin Qingzhu sat opposite them. Suddenly, silence fell, and the atmosphere felt somewhat awkward, especially for Lin Qingzhu, who didn't know what to say.
"Wife, let me introduce you. This ethereal Sect Leader Jiang is actually my senior sister. I'm really not her kept man; rather, she's willing to be my mistress."
Ye Zixiao said with a mischievous grin.
"Oh, ah? What?"
Lin Qingzhu's expression changed three times in a second.
Senior sister? She hadn't expected that. She didn't really care about the 'kept man' issue, but Ye Zixiao, in front of her, claimed Jiang Xiaoyao was willing to be his mistress?
Wasn't that preposterous?
Even if she was willing, the other person wouldn't be!
"Miss Lin, don't listen to this little scoundrel's nonsense. With this relationship, we are now friends. I hope you will treat my junior brother well and not let him suffer any grievances."
Jiang Xiaoyao's words were very gentle.
However, they inexplicably carried a hint of threat.
"Yes, Miss Jiang, thank you."
Lin Qingzhu didn't know how to respond, but she still expressed her sincere gratitude. She was also very fortunate to have met such an influential figure through Ye Zixiao. This was a tremendous blessing!
As for whether Ye Zixiao would be bullied?
Lin Qingzhu dared not even contemplate such a possibility.
"Oh, right!"
Jiang Xiaoyao took Tang Keke's hand and smiled as she introduced, "Junior brother, this is Tang Keke, my best friend. She also lent a hand in this incident."
"Hello, beautiful Ms. Tang!"
Ye Zixiao reached out his large hand.
He almost touched her…
"Mr. Ye, hello!"
Tang Keke shook his hand with a slightly playful smile.
"President Tang, thank you very much!"
Lin Qingzhu, standing nearby, immediately stood up.
Jiang Xiaoyao was the sect leader of the Asura Gate, and her interactions with the Lin family were usually limited. But Tang Keke was different. She was the chairwoman of the Dragon Cauldron Group, the most powerful boss in the city!
If they could become friends with Tang Keke.
It would be difficult for the Lin family not to soar!
"Hello!"
While playfully facing Ye Zixiao, Tang Keke was very calm when facing Lin Qingzhu. She merely shook her hand politely and didn't say another word, not even looking at her again.
Lin Qingzhu felt a moment of awkwardness.
But she did not show any dissatisfaction.
She dared not.
Or rather, she was not worthy…
Just as Ye Zixiao and his companions were enjoying tea and making friends, in a presidential suite of a high-end hotel in the city center, a man in his thirties was on the phone.
"Uncle, I've arrived, but I was still a step too late. The Qin family has already been wiped out. But to my surprise, it wasn't Ye Zixiao, but the stationed troops of Beihai City."
The man's name was Xiao Tengfei. He was Bai Mao's (Xiao Zhang's) older cousin and a prominent figure in the Xiao family of Jiangcheng, known for his courage, strategy, and ruthlessness.
"Stationed troops? Hmph!"
The person on the phone was very angry.
He was Xiao Bahuang, ranked eighth in his large family, but he had surpassed all his brothers to become the leader of the entire Xiao family, demonstrating his formidable capabilities.
"Uncle, should we strike?"
"Wait for now."
Xiao Bahuang pondered and said, "We will definitely strike, but I'll first investigate the full story. Jiang Xiaoyao and Tang Keke are irrelevant, but it's best to avoid conflict with the stationed troops."
"Are we afraid of the stationed troops?"
"We are certainly not afraid, but we must be steady."
"I understand!"
"Tengfei, first have the Shadow Group, Saber Group, and Special Operations Team enter the city. Ambush them in the Lin family's area. Ye Zixiao must die. Lin Qingzhu is yours; kill her after you've had your fill."
"Thank you, Uncle. Please get some rest."
Xiao Tengfei was filled with excitement.
The most beautiful woman in Beihai City.
Who wouldn't want to have a taste of her…
