My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 170: Yang Qi’s Acting Skills Soar

Besides this villa, Meng Hongsheng was also set to receive a hefty material reward upon success.

At that moment, he stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. Thinking of Ye Qianqian... he couldn’t help but feel a flush of heat course through him.

"Damn you, little wench. Still resisting me?" he snarled. "This time, once I’ve crushed Yang Qi and destroyed your Qifei Group, I’ll make you crawl into my bed!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Now that he had solidified his relationship with the Liang Family, the rest would be simple.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Through the video intercom, he saw it was Yang Qi. He froze for a second, then burst into laughter.

He called his bodyguard over before going to open the door. Yang Qi must be here to beg me, he thought.

"Hahaha, if it isn’t the once-famous young entrepreneur of Kang City, Yang Qi! And the man Ye Qianqian pines for day and night. Even I have heard of your thunderous reputation!"

Meng Hongsheng ushered Yang Qi into the room, his bodyguard standing close by. Meng Hongsheng himself was a cautious man, always worried someone might show up seeking revenge. It was the price he paid for offending so many people and having a guilty conscience.

"You’re here about the case, aren’t you?" Meng Hongsheng asked with a smile.

"Mr. Meng, you are the retained attorney for the Martial Artists Association," Yang Qi sighed. "Isn’t there anything you can do to help me? I’m truly at my wit’s end. I can’t find a single attorney in all of Kang City to help me. Without one, I’ll have to accept this terrible fate. But I don’t want to be finished! I still have a bright future ahead of me!"

"Scared now?" Meng Hongsheng sneered. "Let me be blunt. I was the one who had the Liang Family’s second young master call those attorneys. Whoever dares to help you will suffer the consequences. Honestly, of all the people you could have crossed, why did it have to be Second Young Master Liang? You were just asking for it, weren’t you?"

"How could you! You! You’re an attorney for the Martial Artists Association! A man in an official position! How can you do this? Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to the Martial Artists Association?" Yang Qi roared angrily.

"Heh, report me? Go ahead. I’ll eat my hat if you win," Meng Hongsheng said viciously. "In fact, I’ll tell you straight up. I’m targeting you not just because the Liang Family gave me enormous benefits, including this very villa. There’s another reason: I want Ye Qianqian. I can’t stand how she’s always talking about you. I want you dead!"

"Qianqian and I are just like brother and sister," Yang Qi said. "This is completely unreasonable. You planned all of this just to deal with a worthless, unemployed nobody like me? Isn’t that overkill?"

"Hahahaha!" Meng Hongsheng roared with laughter. "You’re no unemployed nobody. I’ve heard you’re quite capable. That’s precisely why we arranged all of this. Originally, Chen Tiequan and Qian Sou were supposed to use the pretense of a daughter’s invitation to lure Ye Qianqian that night. It was a setup to trap you and then kill you. We just never expected that you’d kill them instead. Your strength is truly astonishing. They had already reported the plan to the Liang Family’s second young master, so I knew all about it. A pity it failed. Naturally, we had to come up with a new plan. Since you’re so strong, we could only use this incident to frame you and bury you for good! Zhang Na! And the hotel waiter. I helped the Liang Family’s second young master bribe them all. Not bad, huh? You have nowhere left to run. Do you get it now?"

Meng Hongsheng was extremely smug. He loved controlling the Destiny of others. And now, I have Yang Qi’s Destiny firmly in my grasp, he thought. There’s no way he can turn this around.

"You bastards! You actually framed me! You’ve gone too far!" Yang Qi roared.

"So what if I framed you? Do you know how I won all my past cases? I used my position as the Martial Artists Association’s attorney to turn them into ironclad convictions. I couldn’t care less if those people were innocent. If they didn’t bribe me or suck up to me, they deserved to die!"

Meng Hongsheng grew more smug with every word. Yang Qi finally understood how the man had never lost a case. This guy is utterly insidious.

"You’re despicable! You’ll get what’s coming to you!" Yang Qi roared again.

"Hahahaha!" Meng Hongsheng roared with laughter. "What’s coming to me? Only weaklings believe in karma. People just like you. I now hold all the evidence. The moment your case enters the Heavenly Supervision Hall, you’re guaranteed to be convicted. And it will be a death sentence!"

"No—! I’ve been framed! I’m innocent! They were the ones with vile intentions for Qianqian! They were trying to kill me! It was self-defense!" Yang Qi shouted.

"Heh, a grown man as naive as you? You think I don’t know you were framed? So what if I do? That old lech Qian Sou was always a degenerate. Besides, I saw the original surveillance footage. I know exactly what happened. But you should never have gotten involved. Can you afford to provoke big shots like them? Chen Tiequan is backed by the Wang Family, and Qian Sou has the Kang City Business Alliance behind him. You can’t afford to offend either of them!"

Meng Hongsheng looked down on Yang Qi with contempt. To think I was worried he was here to assassinate me. Turns out he’s just a spineless coward. But he failed to notice the fleeting smile that touched the corners of Yang Qi’s lips.

"Mr. Meng, please, save me! I can give you money! You have to see that justice is served!" Yang Qi began to lay it on thick.

"Money? Hmm... All right. If you satisfy three conditions, I’ll help you. First, give me two billion! Second, have Ye Qianqian willingly be with me. Third, you will be my slave for the rest of your life! If you agree, I’ll help you."

Meng Hongsheng said smugly, "Otherwise, just wait for your execution. With the crimes you’ve committed, you absolutely won’t escape a death sentence in the Heavenly Supervision Hall! I’ll give you some time to think it over."

"No need to think about it!" Yang Qi suddenly laughed, his smile brilliant. The respectful demeanor he’d had upon entering vanished. He casually plopped down on the sofa. "Ah, this genuine leather is really comfortable!"

"You! What do you think you’re doing? What is this attitude?" Meng Hongsheng was completely dumbfounded. Wasn’t this brat here to beg me? Why is he acting so cocky? Was it all an act?

"My attitude?" Yang Qi chuckled. "Wolf King, you can come out now!"

Suddenly, a panel in the ceiling slid aside. Wolf King jumped down from the space above, a mobile phone in his hand.

"Brilliant, Boss, absolutely brilliant! I never thought he’d be so cooperative," Wolf King chuckled as he walked toward Yang Qi. "What do you suppose will happen to this guy if we send this video to the Martial Artists Association or the Heavenly Supervision Hall?" He smoothly handed the phone to Yang Qi.

"Hmm, the video is quite clear, and the audio quality isn’t bad either," Yang Qi remarked. "Alright, tonight’s mission is complete. It’s time for us to go."

He chuckled, stood up, and prepared to leave.
