My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 577: Is this not a dream?

"What are you talking about? Even if Kong Tianjian grew a spine of steel, he wouldn’t dare to act out in front of me," Yang Qi chuckled. "Rest easy. I’m going to get you justice this time. That Kong Erlengzi must have been the main culprit three years ago, and he’s not leaving here alive."

"I’m going too!" Guo Yuxue walked over. "I’ve made arrangements for the kids. I’ll go with you. I can be a witness."

Yang Qi gave a wry smile. These two really do value loyalty and friendship. He didn’t object, so they all drove to the Kong Family estate together.

Just as they reached the main hall of the Kong Family estate, they heard Kong Erlengzi’s voice, thick with curses. "Family Head, it’s been a whole night! Have you found that brat yet? And that bitch, Guo Yuxue—she isn’t home and she didn’t go to the hospital. Where could they have gone? I’m going to chop that man to pieces and feed him to the dogs! And I’ll make that woman regret the day she was born!"

"Heh, who was that you wanted to chop up and feed to the dogs?" Yang Qi said, striding into the hall with a smile aimed directly at Kong Erlengzi.

Everyone in the room turned to look at Yang Qi.

Kong Erlengzi’s face lit up with excitement. "Family Head, you’re full of surprises! You just said you couldn’t find them, but here they are!"

"Men! Seize these three immediately! I’m going to teach them what happens when you offend me!"

Kong Tianjian was horrified. Kong Erlengzi actually offended Yang Qi? Is he trying to get himself killed? Even if the Daluo Golden Immortal himself descended, he couldn’t save this idiot now.

Seeing his men about to lunge at Yang Qi, Kong Tianjian roared, "Everyone, stop!"

"Family Head, what’s wrong? You said you’d let me deal with this brat. Why are you stopping me now?" Kong Erlengzi was completely baffled.

Lin Tao stepped forward. "Family Head Kong, I’ll take responsibility for my own actions. I’m the one who offended Kong Erlengzi. If you want to kill or maim someone, direct it at me! This has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Guo Yuxue also spoke up urgently, "This is clearly Kong Erlengzi’s fault! Why should we have to die for it? Surely even the Kong Family has to follow reason!"

THUD!

At that moment, Kong Tianjian dropped to his knees directly in front of Yang Qi. "B-Boss," he stammered in terror, "how can it be you!"

"That bastard... he actually dared to offend you! He deserves a miserable death!

"Rest assured, I will handle this matter properly. I will absolutely not disappoint you."

Seeing this and hearing his words, Guo Yuxue, Lin Tao, and even Kong Erlengzi were left completely stunned.

What in the world is happening? That’s the exalted Family Head of the Kong Family! Once one of the Four Gates and Six Families, and now one of the most powerful families under the Star Shining Society! And he’s kneeling to Yang Qi?

"Family Head, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind? This brat crippled my arm, yet you’re kneeling and apologizing to him?" Kong Erlengzi cried out. "Don’t you know he also killed three of my best men? What has gotten into you?"

Hearing this, Kong Tianjian erupted in fury and kicked Kong Erlengzi to the ground. "Do you have any idea who you’ve offended? This is Mr. Yang! The true boss of the Star Shining Society! Even Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan must be completely respectful in his presence. The Tang Family of Sea City was destroyed because of him! And you? Who the hell are you to think you can cripple him? Are you insane, or am I?"

At these words, Kong Erlengzi went limp with fright and collapsed to the floor.

Yang Qi! This person is actually Yang Qi... the most feared man in all of Jingnan Prefecture! His own idol!

"Kong Tianjian, cut the act. I’m not here to waste words," Yang Qi said coldly as he sat down. "These two are my university classmates, and they are my benefactors. Three years ago, Kong Erlengzi allowed his men to try and defile my Sister Xue, and he’s the reason my Brother Tao was sent to prison."

"Three years later, Kong Erlengzi once again let his men run wild. I happened to find out and killed them. Tell me, was I wrong to do so?"

"Right! You were absolutely right!" Before Kong Tianjian could even speak, Kong Erlengzi was already on his knees, shouting, "I was wrong! I was truly wrong! I offer my sincerest apologies to the three of you!

"Mr. Yang, please spare me! I swear I’ll turn over a new leaf and become a new man! Just give me one chance! This whole affair had nothing to do with me! It was all that bastard Lao Jiu’s doing! I was completely in the dark!"

"In the dark?" Yang Qi sneered. "Have you forgotten what I asked you last night? I told you about Lao Jiu’s crimes and asked you what you were going to do about it. And what did you say? You said he was your brother and that you approved of anything he did. Isn’t that right? Now you want to wash your hands of it? Not a chance."

The realization hit him like a bolt from the blue. His own words from last night had sealed his fate. He was beyond saving.

"Drag him out and kill him," Kong Tianjian ordered coldly with a wave of his hand. "This worthless dog has ruined the reputation of both the Kong Family and the Star Shining Society."

Kong Tianjian was furious, but he was also terrified. He was the Family Head of the Kong Family now; he couldn’t escape responsibility for something like this.

"I don’t blame you," Yang Qi said, looking at Kong Tianjian. "You only just took over the Kong Family, so you’re not fully aware of its inner workings. Consider this a warning. However, while you may be spared death, you can’t escape punishment. My Brother Tao was imprisoned for three years, and my Sister Xue suffered for three years. There must be compensation."

"Compensation! Of course, there will be compensation!" Kong Tianjian nodded vigorously. "Let’s do this: we’ll calculate it at one hundred million per year, for a total of three hundred million for the three years. In addition, I will give you a detached villa in the Xiaoxiang Royal Garden, valued at fifty million. It’s fully renovated, furnished, and has never been lived in."

Lin Tao and Guo Yuxue gulped, utterly speechless. Three hundred million in compensation? That’s an insane amount! Their small company would be lucky to make a few million a year, and now they’re being offered three hundred million on top of a villa in Xiaoxiang Royal Garden?

Xiaoxiang Royal Garden was a famous upscale community in Thunder City. It wasn’t a place ordinary people could live; a house there couldn’t necessarily be bought even if you had the money. Yet here they were, being given one for free.

Just as the pair were about to refuse, Yang Qi spoke. "This shows your sincerity. We’ll leave it at that, and the matter is settled. Sister Xue, Brother Tao, don’t refuse. You deserve this. I will never forget the kindness you showed me in university."

Hearing this, Lin Tao and Guo Yuxue didn’t say anything more, but they etched his profound kindness into their hearts.

"Family Head Kong, send some people to help my Brother Tao and Sister Xue move and get settled," Yang Qi added.

"No problem!" Kong Tianjian readily agreed to do whatever Yang Qi said.
