My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 182: I Bet One Hundred Million on Yang Qi!

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: I Bet One Hundred Million on Yang Qi!

"Director Fang, Director Fang, why is this happening? Why are you arresting me? What crime have I committed?" Chen Jin asked, still playing dumb.

"You caused our important client to lose four billion in funds, severely damaging the image and reputation of the World Silver Union. And you still have the nerve to ask me what you did wrong? Take him away! Interrogate him thoroughly, and if he can’t explain himself, don’t let him leave!" Fang Neng ordered coldly. "Additionally, freeze all funds of Kang City Bank. They are temporarily disallowed for any investments or transfers."

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Jin was terrified, but he was still taken away.

「Meanwhile, in Thunder City.」

A man covered in injuries knelt before Lei Tingjun, trembling with fear. He was Chen Shengming.

"I’ve told you everything I know. Please, just let me go."

"Where’s the money?" Lei Tingjun asked coldly.

"The money isn’t with me! It’s in the Liang Family’s overseas account. I’m afraid it can’t be recovered!"

In front of Lei Tingjun, Chen Shengming dared not lie in the slightest. He was truly terrified of dying. He never expected to be dragged out by Lei Tingjun, even while hiding with the Wang Family. Who could possibly save him now? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lei Tingjun commanded, "Call Zhao Xiong immediately and order him to go to the Liang Family. If they don’t return the money, seize all of the Liang Family’s assets. They have some nerve, touching Mr. Yang’s money. They’re seeking death!"

Soon, Zhao Xiong and Fang Neng arrived at the Liang Family estate, armed with the confessions of Chen Shengming and Chen Jin, as well as the transfer records.

When the Head of the Liang Family saw the evidence, he was both infuriated and terrified. Neither of his two sons ever gave him any peace of mind.

"City Lord Zhao, rest assured, I will return all the funds," the Head of the Liang Family said with a wry smile. "Additionally, I will offer one hundred million in compensation. How does that sound?"

"One hundred million? Is your son only worth one hundred million?" Zhao Xiong retorted. "If you want us to take your son away, just say so."

"One billion! Surely one billion will suffice?" The Head of the Liang Family was on the verge of tears. Although his family was wealthy, one billion was no small sum, and it pained him to give it away just like that.

With the help of Fang Neng and Lei Tingjun, the entire issue was resolved by the next morning. Qifei Group not only recovered its four billion Dragon Coins but also received a compensation of one billion. This left Ye Fei dumbstruck. He simply could not comprehend how Yang Qi had managed it.

Liang Changshan, on the other hand, was nearly driven mad with rage. He did not know that Yang Qi had spared him this time purely to disgrace him in public during the upcoming battle of the Five Independents.

Three days had passed since the business matters were settled. Yang Qi could finally concentrate on his cultivation. After absorbing the black energy he had extracted from Fang Neng’s daughter, Yang Qi distinctly felt his cultivation had improved. Although he was still in the early Foundation Establishment Stage, he had progressed from being a mere beginner to making some solid achievements. All aspects of his abilities had improved to a certain degree.

After completing his cultivation, Yang Qi was chatting and drinking tea with the Wolf King and others when his phone suddenly rang. He looked and saw it was a video call request from Lin Qingxuan. He had almost forgotten that he had added her on WeChat.

"Oh, isn’t this Miss Lin?" the Wolf King laughed. "Big Bro, we won’t disturb your little tête-à-tête. Let’s disperse, everyone!"

The seventy-two wolves scattered. Yang Qi shook his head and answered the video call, feeling admittedly a little nervous.

"Qingxuan!" Yang Qi said, excited to see her on the screen.

"I heard you’ve caused quite a stir in Kang City, even challenging the Five Independents. Go for it! I also passed the initial exam of the Heavenly God Sect. You can’t fall behind me in the future!" Lin Qingxuan said with a laugh, sticking her tongue out playfully.

"I’ll do my best!" A surge of strength rose within Yang Qi’s heart. To see Lin Qingxuan sooner, he really needed to speed up his cultivation.

Afterward, the two chatted for quite a while before ending the call because Lin Qingxuan had to go. From then on, Yang Qi would chat with Lin Qingxuan every evening, though their conversations grew shorter and shorter. Lin Qingxuan told him she had passed the final assessment. Once she joined the Heavenly God Sect, she would no longer be able to use her phone to contact him.

"You better not forget me!" were her words during their last call. The young woman seemed to have been crying.

Yang Qi clenched his fists. The day he had agreed to meet Liang Changshan had arrived. He had to go to the Five Elements Tower for their appointment.

Kang City was huge, with six full ring roads. Even driving from the Yang residence to the Five Elements Tower would take at least an hour, and that was without any traffic. So, Yang Qi had to set off early.

「At this time, in a hotel outside the Liang Family’s Five Elements Tower.」

A group of Kang City’s elite were gathered around Liang Changshan. He had cleverly hidden the fact that he had been crippled, not wanting to speak of it for fear of humiliation.

"Young Master Liang, who exactly is this Yang Qi? Why would you need to deploy the Five Independents against him? With your strength, couldn’t you easily defeat him?"

This was tantamount to rubbing salt in the wound.

Liang Changshan’s eyes flashed with murderous intent. He spoke coldly, "He’s not worthy to fight me! I want him to die by the hands of the Five Independents. A horrible death!"

If someone died after actively challenging the Five Independents, no one bore responsibility. Neither the Heavenly Supervision Hall nor the Martial Artists Association would pursue the matter.

"Is this person very strong?" someone in the crowd asked.

"He’s not bad," Liang Changshan said indifferently. "He should also be a Great Grandmaster—an entry-level one."

The crowd was astounded. "What! To think there’s someone among the younger generation with a Realm comparable to yours, Young Master Liang!"

Another person scoffed, "Hmph, so what if their Realms are comparable? How could he possibly be a match for Young Master Liang, let alone the Five Independents?"

"That’s true," a third person chimed in. "Each of the Five Independents is battle-hardened, ruthless men with countless lives on their hands. Their combat experience is immense. Any Martial Artist of the same Realm would surely die if they encountered them. What’s more, the battle is in the Five Elements Tower, where the Five Independents’ power will surely double. This Yang Qi is doomed!"

Liang Changshan enjoyed hearing such words because he thought the same. That idiot Yang Qi really dared to accept the challenge against the Five Independents. From that moment, he had already fallen into my trap.

"Have you all started the betting pools for this?" Liang Changshan smiled. "I’m also betting on the Five Independents to win. Just for fun, I’ll put down one hundred million!"

"You can’t win much by betting on the Five Independents. Practically everyone is betting on them. So far, not a single person has bet on that kid," someone said with a laugh.

"I’ll bet on Yang Qi. One hundred million!"

Suddenly, a voice cut in. The one who walked over was a beautiful and energetic young woman. The bodyguards by her side were also quite formidable.

"The young mistress of the Lei Mansion, Lei Yingying?" Liang Changshan’s brow furrowed.

He was incredibly jealous. This Yang Qi’s luck is too good! Why are so many women willing to help him?
