My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 219: It’s Time to End This!

"Not thanking me is one thing, but to commit such a despicable act of betraying your master and ancestors... Don’t you know that’s illegal?" Cao Zhendong roared.

"Illegal?" Zou Shengrong laughed. "We’ve done plenty of illegal things. For that matter, leaking the Qifei Group’s trade secrets to the Kang City Business Alliance was also a serious crime. But so what? Not only are we fine, but we drive luxury cars and live in mansions. We can even sleep with your wife. You haven’t broken the law, so what good has it done you?"

"There’s something else you probably don’t know," Zou Shengrong continued with a sneer. "We were the ones who crippled your daughter! We just wanted to threaten you, but who knew that girl would be so headstrong? She actually chose to jump off a building. Afterward, she ended up in that state, neither dead nor alive."

"What!" Cao Zhendong was horrified. "Hao Ziyun, that’s your own flesh and blood! How could you be so cruel!"

He could hardly believe it. Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its own cubs, yet Hao Ziyun could do this!

"Hmph, who does she have to blame but herself for not listening to me, and instead listening to a good-for-nothing like you. She deserves to be in a vegetative state!" Hao Ziyun snorted. "Just thinking that she’s a daughter I had with you makes me sick!"

"You’re mad! All of you are mad! You’re absolute lunatics!"

Cao Zhendong collapsed onto the sofa. I thought I had imagined people at their worst, but I never imagined they could be this evil. They’re demons! Devils!

"Alright, enough nonsense. Spill the secrets of the Qifei Group, now! Otherwise, you can forget about leaving here today!" Hao Ziyun said coldly.

"What, you think you can kill me?" Cao Zhendong retorted coolly.

"Kill you? Heh, that’s an option," Fan Xiuran chimed in. "But we’ll make you suffer more. First, we’ll cripple you. Then we’ll find a way to get you fired from the Qifei Group. Finally, we’ll let you wallow in misery until you kill yourself! How does that sound?"

"I’m not going to say anything. Do your worst," Cao Zhendong said coldly. He had already arranged this with Yang Qi. He planned to take a beating to make the evidence more convincing.

"So you won’t shed a tear until you see your coffin. Beat him!" Fan Xiuran roared.

Several martial artists pounced, punching and kicking Cao Zhendong. Suddenly, he began to convulse violently, collapsing to the floor and spitting up blood. His face was deathly pale. It was a terrifying sight.

"Wait a minute!" Zou Shengrong realized something was wrong and urgently called for a halt.

But by then, Cao Zhendong was motionless.

Hao Ziyun stepped forward to check. "He’s dead! The guy actually died! He’s not breathing!" Her face turned pale. She never expected they would actually beat him to death. Cao Zhendong was far more fragile than they thought.

"What’s done is done. Get rid of the body, quickly!" Zou Shengrong ordered.

Just at that moment, Yang Qi burst in with his men.

"Oh, Old Cao, what a miserable death! Quick, call the police! Call the police!"

The Wolf Guards behind him immediately pretended to make phone calls. Terrified, Zou Shengrong and the others turned tail and fled.

Once they were gone, Yang Qi said to the Wolf King, "Take him to the hospital and get a report detailing critical injuries. They almost beat a man to death. I want to see how that bunch is going to handle this!"

In truth, all of this had been arranged between him and Cao Zhendong. He had used a Silver Needle technique that even hospital instruments couldn’t detect.

After Cao Zhendong was taken to the hospital, Yang Qi removed the camera and recording device from his body. He also had Huang Borren compile the footage from the hidden camera in the private room. With that, the evidence was perfect. This material, combined with their own verbal confessions, would be more than enough to make them wish they were dead.

「Outside the hospital」

Cao Zhendong, who had received a certificate of near-fatal injury, had already been awakened by Yang Qi. He sat there limply, silent for a long time.

"I used to hold on to a sliver of hope for that woman," he finally said, his voice trembling with rage. "But I never expected this. She would even harm her own daughter. She’s a monster. I don’t want her in prison. I want her dead!"

Cao Zhendong had never wished for someone’s death as much as he did in that moment.

"Don’t worry," Yang Qi said coldly. "With their crimes combined, they’re almost certainly facing the death penalty. And even if they aren’t, I guarantee they will die in prison." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Meanwhile, having calmed down, Hao Ziyun and the other two felt that something was amiss.

"No, something’s definitely not right about Cao Zhendong’s death," Fan Xiuran said, a growing sense of unease creeping over her. "I suspect he was setting us up, with Yang Qi pulling the strings. Ziyun, call him." The whole affair was just too bizarre.

Hao Ziyun dialed Cao Zhendong’s number.

On the other end, Yang Qi nodded. "Answer it. It’s time to end this. We have all the evidence we need, and they’ll be arrested soon. There’s no need to keep up the act."

"Alright." Cao Zhendong answered the call. "Hao Ziyun," he said, his voice like ice, "let’s get a divorce. I’m in the small hotel across from the Civil Affairs Bureau. We’ll meet there and sort out the division of our assets!"

He hung up.

Hao Ziyun was stunned for a moment before her eyes glinted with murderous intent. "We’ve been had. That bastard Cao Zhendong isn’t dead. And he wants to divorce me."

"Where is he?" Fan Xiuran asked.

"The small hotel across from the Civil Affairs Bureau," Hao Ziyun replied.

"Good. Let’s take some men and go kill him," Zou Shengrong said, his face a mask of cruelty. "If Yang Qi is there, even better. We can kill them all to silence them. It’ll save us a lot of trouble!"

Just then, Qian Nanting called. He said he was back and asked where they were. They had no choice but to explain the situation. To their surprise, Qian Nanting didn’t blame them. Instead, he said, "I’ve brought two experts back with me from Provincial City. They are both Great Grandmasters. I’ll send one over to you now. Make sure you eliminate Yang Qi."

"Do we really need a Great Grandmaster to kill Yang Qi?" Zou Shengrong asked, taken aback.

"It’s just a precaution," Qian Nanting replied.

"Alright, that’s great! This makes us even more confident!"

The three of them were ecstatic. They never expected to receive such reinforcements at a time like this. Now, killing Cao Zhendong and Yang Qi would be a piece of cake.

「In the small hotel room」

The Wolf King, Yang Qi, and Cao Zhendong were all present.

"I’ve already contacted the Heavenly Supervision Hall," Yang Qi said, comforting Cao Zhendong. "They’ll be sending people soon. I’ve also submitted the evidence. Given their innumerable crimes, they will most likely face the death penalty."

Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

Hao Ziyun, Zou Shengrong, and Fan Xiuran stormed in, followed by more than a dozen men. One man in particular caught Yang Qi’s attention.

A Great Grandmaster! A Second Rank Great Grandmaster! He seems a bit stronger than the five Independents, but not by much.

"Hahaha, just the three of you? How foolish," Hao Ziyun cackled upon seeing them. "Since we already know what you’ve done, we can’t possibly let you live. Dead men tell no tales. Any evidence you’ve gathered will be useless then!"
