Chapter 401: Chapter 399: Set the Conditions
Xiao Lingtian heard Qin Hao’s words, and his tone immediately turned cold. He directly said, "Alright, then what do you want? Just name your terms!"
Hearing this, Qin Hao smiled faintly, then switched hands, holding the phone to the other ear. Then, gripping the knife, he used a little force to lift Xiao Jintian’s chin, raising his head.
"Hehe, what do I want? It’s very simple."
As he spoke, his gaze turned cold, and he articulated four words with deliberate precision.
"Blood for blood!"
As Qin Hao finished speaking, he forcefully stabbed the knife into Xiao Jintian’s neck, then made a slight slash, directly and straightforwardly slitting Xiao Jintian’s throat!
A swishing sound!
The faint sound of flesh being cut was transmitted through the phone. Xiao Lingtian, who had killed countless people and been covered in blood, was naturally very familiar with this sound.
In an instant, a strong sense of unease surged in his heart, and he immediately shouted into the phone, "Qin Hao!! What are you doing? Where’s my son? Let him speak to me!"
Warm blood gushed wildly from Xiao Jintian’s neck, while Qin Hao had already taken two steps back, letting Xiao Jintian clutch his neck and collapse to the ground, convulsing, with blood quickly soaking a large area in front of Qin Langya’s grave.
Listening to Xiao Lingtian’s voice in the receiver, Qin Hao smiled faintly, then said, "I’m afraid you’ll never hear his voice again in this lifetime."
With those words, the other end of the phone fell into a long silence.
Xiao Lingtian immediately understood Qin Hao’s meaning. Anger and grief interwoven in his heart, but he quickly suppressed them forcefully.
As a Military God, his personal feelings had long been very thin. In his position, what he needed most was the precision and coldness of a machine.
He remained silent, but Qin Hao continued, "As for your so-called debt of vengeance, hehe, if I kill all of you, this problem ceases to exist."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
In a flash, a sense of retribution filled his body. Standing in the cemetery, he felt the blood-soaked sea that had haunted him for endless nights gradually fade away.
In the blood sea, the familiar faces all closed their eyes in peace, vanishing into endless darkness.
This feeling was exhilarating!
Qin Hao took a deep breath and turned his head. In the eastern sky, the red dawn, like blood, had completely brightened the horizon, stretching to the edge of sight.
Soon, the rising sun would burst forth, bathing the entire cemetery in golden light.
Qin Hao started the car, traveling straight down the highway toward the sunset, seemingly forever chasing darkness, moving away from the warm sun behind him.
Xiao Lingtian hung up the phone and sat in his chair for a long time before standing up and walking to the window.
This was the 127th floor, overlooking the bustling traffic of the entire Kyoto. The rising sun had already come up an hour earlier than in Qingshan City, and the busy day had just begun.
Xiao Lingtian stood by the window for a long time, his silhouette appearing much older.
Xiao Jintian and Xiao Yu were both dead, and he was far away in Kyoto with another highly urgent matter at hand. He could only stand at the window, gazing towards his hometown, catching a few more glimpses.
The sense of sadness did not linger long with Xiao Lingtian. Quickly, he dialed the Golden Stone Sect’s phone, informing them of Qin Hao killing his son and their Left Protector, and requested that they handle Qin Hao!
Now Xiao Lingtian couldn’t spare the time, so he had to let the Golden Stone Sect handle Qin Hao!
After making this call, Xiao Lingtian regained his cold and rational demeanor, busying himself with his work, though his anger towards Qin Hao was suppressed in his heart. In his view, Qin Hao was already a dead man.
He must kill Qin Hao!
When he finished his work, it would be Qin Hao’s death day!!
Meanwhile, Qin Hao returned to the Provincial Government, Xiao Lingtian died, the Xiao Family fell, and the entire power structure of the Provincial Government underwent a drastic change.
Fang Zhenwu returned to the Provincial Government with Qin Hao. At first, he took over the Wolf Fang Gang and numerous other underground forces that Qin Hao had already accumulated, swiftly unifying all of the Provincial Government’s underground power figures.
Subsequently, the Fang Group rapidly expanded. After the Qin Family’s annihilation, the Xiao Family took over their forces. Now, the Qin Group returned to Qin Hao’s hands once more.
In Qingshan City, the Song Family had already been eradicated by Qin Hao. The Fang Group in Qingshan City merged with all the industries of the Qing Group and the Song Family, becoming the undisputed giant.
When Xiao Jintian died, Fang Zhenwu decisively moved the Fang Group’s headquarters to the Provincial Government, taking over the Xiao Family’s industries, expanding its power more than tenfold.
These troublesome matters were naturally for Fang Zhenwu to worry about. Qin Hao took on the role of a carefree overseer.
In this way, quiet yet busy days passed half a month.
During these two weeks, first came the major power upheaval at the Provincial Government. The Fang Group’s meteoric rise directly replaced the Xiao Family’s original status. Lin Yuhan, upon receiving the one billion USD from Qin Hao, smoothly reacquired her Fenghua Pharmaceutical Group and took the opportunity to double the company’s scale, moving their headquarters to the Provincial Government.
Qin Hao had no lingering attachments in Qingshan City, so he immediately bought a villa in the Provincial Government. Lin Yuhan, Zhao Mengke, and Gu Qinyue all moved back, and the four of them lived together once more.
The crescent moon hung like a hook, and the evening breeze was clear and bright.
In Qin Hao’s new villa, a sumptuous dinner was taking place. It was their first meal after moving in together, a celebration of their reunion and housewarming.
"Come, let’s raise our glasses, wishing everyone good health and smooth sailing!"
Lin Yuhan raised her glass with a smile, suggesting, and everyone chimed in, also raising their glasses. With a clear clink, they all drank the first toast to reunion.
This evening, besides Qin Hao, Lin Yuhan, Zhao Mengke, and Gu Qinyue, they also had their good old friend from the Provincial Government, Tang Rou.
Zhao Mengke cheerfully downed half a glass of red wine in one go, her cheeks becoming rosy. She looked at Tang Rou, then laughed and said, "Xiaorou, why not move in with us too? We can have one more person, make it more lively!"
Tang Rou immediately looked at Qin Hao, with Zhao Mengke on the left and Lin Yuhan on the right, occupying the positions beside Qin Hao very affectionately. Across from him sat Gu Qinyue, who also occasionally gazed at Qin Hao with a blissful smile.
