My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 205: Oh Cao, you’ve really had a hard time!

"Heh, apologize? You seem to have misunderstood something. I will not apologize to a beggar!" the manager sneered. "And let me tell you, don’t think that just because you have some stinking money, you can put on airs in Jade Hall! He ate the meal, so he has to pay! Your money is useless!"

"But I didn’t eat anything!" Cao Zhendong protested. "When I arrived, the food had already been consumed!"

"I don’t care about that! Your wife called you to come and pay. You didn’t eat, but your wife did. So you have to pay!" the manager said aggressively.

"You’re being unreasonable! I want to see the surveillance footage to see who actually ate this meal," Cao Zhendong retorted angrily. "My wife knows I have no money. How could she possibly ask me to pay!"

"I don’t care. In any case, if you don’t pay today, you’ll have to be Jade Hall’s dog. One day isn’t enough; it’ll have to be for a whole month!" the manager said domineeringly.

"I’m calling the police to see what they have to say!" Even if Cao Zhendong had the money, he refused to be taken for a fool. He was determined to see the footage and find out who had really eaten.

"Call the police? You’re looking for death!" The manager waved his hand. A tall, brawny man beside him snatched up an iron club and swung it at Cao Zhendong, who shielded his head. The blow would have surely knocked him unconscious, but just then, a hand shot out and precisely caught the club, holding it fast. The burly man tried several times to pull it free, but to no avail.

"Kid, mind your own damn business and get lost!" the manager frowned, bellowing at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi’s eyes were filled with an icy coldness that seemed capable of freezing a man’s very soul. The manager couldn’t help but shiver.

The panic, however, was only momentary. He quickly regained his composure and said coldly, "You dare meddle in the affairs of Jade Hall?"

"I am meddling today," Yang Qi responded coldly. "If you so much as touch a single hair on his head, I’ll make sure you all die."

His voice was as chilling as a breath from the Nine Nether Hell, making the manager shiver again. But was he afraid? No. He had been the manager of Jade Hall for decades, and no one had ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him. Even after the Qin Family and the Qin Group had fallen, his position remained secure.

"Kid, you’ve got some strength!" The manager stroked his Fu Manchu mustache and sneered. "But what’s the use of a little strength? Dare to provoke me, and you’re doomed today. I advise you to get lost and stop meddling! Otherwise, you’ll be sorry!"

"You can try me and see who’s really doomed," a cold smile touched Yang Qi’s lips, his eyes flashing with an even more frigid, murderous intent.

The manager involuntarily took two steps back, genuinely intimidated.

"Hmph!" he scoffed. "Looks like you’re determined to be a busybody today, is that right? Everyone, out! We’ve got someone making trouble at Jade Hall!"

He clapped his hands, and immediately, dozens of men rushed out from inside. A closer look revealed they were no simple thugs. In the eyes of an ordinary person, these were men you couldn’t afford to provoke.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yang Qi smiled. "Once we start, people might get hurt. They might even die."

The manager sneered, "Scared? If you’re scared, then stop meddling, especially with such a beautiful woman by your side. It’d be a shame if she got hurt. If you’re really scared, just kneel and apologize. Let this beauty keep me company, and I might just let you go!"

SLAP!

Before the manager could even finish speaking, Yang Qi slapped him across the face. The blow sent the manager spinning several times before he crashed face-first onto a table, drenching him in cold leftovers.

"Get him! Beat him to death!" The manager scrambled up, spitting filth from his mouth. He roared like a madman, "Kill him for me!"

"President Yang, go! Don’t worry about me!" Cao Zhendong cried out, seeing how things had escalated. He quickly pushed Yang Qi.

"Old Cao! You’ve suffered during this time. I was useless! But from this day forward, no one will ever bully you again. I won’t allow it!" Yang Qi looked coldly at the brawny men rushing toward him, then raised a hand and slapped the table.

Suddenly, dozens of chopsticks on the table flew through the air.

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

They all embedded themselves in the bodies of the brawny men, who collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.

The manager was stunned. Li Qingyan was stunned. Cao Zhendong was stunned. Everyone in the vicinity was stunned.

Is this a special effect? In this day and age, there are still masters like this? Has a scene from a movie just become real?

The manager gulped and backed away in terror, hurriedly taking out his phone to make a call. "Y-You, don’t come any closer! I’m calling for backup!"

He was truly terrified, unable to comprehend how Yang Qi had done it. Those were chopsticks, not Flying Knives! How did they pierce their bodies? And they had all struck acupoints, immobilizing dozens of men. This was horrifying. He had to call for reinforcements.

Cao Zhendong grew anxious. He tugged on Yang Qi’s arm. "President Yang, I don’t know where you learned martial arts, but you can’t handle this alone. Jade Hall has a powerful backer. We need to leave now, before it’s too late!"

"Old Cao," Yang Qi said with a smile, "don’t worry. It doesn’t matter who comes; they’re useless against me. In the past, I only cared about my research, so I was clueless when people schemed against and harmed me. It caused all of you to suffer as well. That will never happen again. I swear it. I will protect every one of you and make sure you all live good lives."

Cao Zhendong stared blankly at Yang Qi. He didn’t sound like he was joking. He was serious!

But how could that be? The Yang Qi of the past was basically a frail scholar, too weak to even truss a chicken. Now, he possessed such miraculous abilities.

Li Qingyan frowned. "Yang Qi, not everything in this world can be solved with force. We should go."

"Leave? No one is leaving today!"

The reinforcements arrived. Three vans pulled up, unleashing dozens of men. They were clearly tougher than Jade Hall’s security guards, each one a battle-hardened veteran, and they were armed.

"Manager Tao, who’s causing trouble here?" the leader asked.

"It’s him!" Manager Tao pointed at Yang Qi and said coldly, "Just don’t kill him. That’s the only requirement. Other than that, do whatever you want!"

"You heard him! Move!" the leader roared, throwing his cigarette to the ground and stomping on it viciously.

The next moment, the whole group charged toward Yang Qi. Li Qingyan and Cao Zhendong tensed up, their nerves on edge.

Yang Qi, however, merely scoffed. "A mob of rabble. And here I thought you’d call in someone decent. How disappointing."
