My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 23 Do you have any conscience left?

Yang Qi tore up the deed of sale in front of everyone. Afterward, he took out a check for ten million yuan and gave it to Zhang Peng. "From now on, Ye Fei doesn’t owe the Zhang Family anything! Let’s go!"

"Stop right there!"

Zhang Peng was stunned. He truly hadn’t expected that Yang Qi, this pauper, could actually come up with a sum of ten million to redeem Ye Fei.

"Forget it, let him go!" Zhang Junwang frowned. "Miss Lin will be here soon. Don’t spoil her mood!"

"Right. Dealing with this punk can happen anytime. We can’t let Miss Lin be disturbed."

"Let him get lost!"

And so, Yang Qi, Lin Qingxuan, and Ye Fei left the Zhang Family’s estate under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people.

Among the crowd was Xiong Ba. At this moment, he was utterly terrified. These idiots... They actually don’t recognize Miss Lin. The Zhang Family is finished this time. Miss Lin is so close to Yang Qi; I have to consider severing ties with the Zhang Family.

After Yang Qi and the others left, Zhang Junwang furrowed his brow. "Zhang Peng, where is Miss Lin? Based on the time, she should have arrived by now. Call and ask."

Zhang Peng nodded. Forcibly suppressing his anger, he took out his phone and made a call to inquire about the situation.

"What!" The instant the call ended, Zhang Peng’s face turned ashen.

"What happened?" Zhang Junwang asked.

"It’s a disaster! Miss Lin already came and then left," Zhang Peng said with a bitter smile.

"She came? What happened?"

"Miss Lin said the Zhang Family is just a shameless bunch of fools and she’s no longer interested in attending this banquet."

BOOM! This was like a bolt from the blue.

"I know! She must have seen that bastard Yang Qi causing trouble just now and misunderstood something. It’s over. That punk Yang Qi ruined everything. Damn it!"

"Yang Qi, I’m going to slaughter you!" Zhang Junwang was so angry he could have spat blood.

It dawned on everyone that this must be the case. Yang Qi had intentionally come here today for this very reason, probably to ruin the Zhang Family’s big plans. That damn bastard.

Everyone in the Zhang Family wished they could flay Yang Qi alive. Their chance to soar to the heavens was ruined by that rotten kid.

"The tender meeting is tomorrow. We’ll endure this for now. After the meeting, we must kill him!" Zhang Junwang clenched his teeth, barely managing to contain his rage.

「In a certain urban village in Kang City.」

Although this place was the liveliest part of the city, it was also the most chaotic. All kinds of people could be found here. Sewage flowed freely in the streets, and gaudily dressed women stood in the doorways of hair salons. This was where Ye Fei currently lived.

After Ye Fei and Yang Qi’s business venture succeeded, he had brought his parents to Kang City. They originally lived in a small villa, but it was seized after the company ran into trouble. The family of three could only squeeze into this urban village to get by. His girlfriend had run off as well. His fate was every bit as tragic as Yang Qi’s.

After taking Lin Qingxuan home, Yang Qi came here with Ye Fei.

"You live here?" His heart ached. This was his good brother, the one with whom he had started a business and prospered. Even when Yang Qi was down on his luck, Ye Fei had never kicked him while he was down. Yet now, he was living such a miserable life.

Ye Fei gave a bitter smile, and the two continued walking. The alley was deep. It took them a while to find Ye Fei’s current residence: a tiny house of barely thirty square meters. The environment was also a mess, with no security to speak of.

"You old bastard! You still haven’t paid today’s money! You dare to collect scrap here without paying? Are you looking to die!" Just as the two of them approached the entrance of the alley, a crude and savage voice erupted.

"Damn it! There’s trouble!" Ye Fei panicked and shot forward like an arrow. Yang Qi followed close behind.

They arrived in an alleyway where several thugs covered in tattoos were standing around. They had surrounded two elderly people in dirty clothes. One of the thugs had even grabbed the old man’s collar, spitting as he yelled.

"Let go of my dad!" Ye Fei charged over, shielding the old man. "Do you have any conscience? Bullying an old man who just collects scraps!"

Seeing this, Yang Qi felt a surge of sorrow. He had experienced this kind of desolation himself and could deeply empathize with their humiliation. It had only been a few days, but Ye Fei’s parents not only looked much older, they were also clearly malnourished, sallow and gaunt.

"Heh, so you’re the son of these two old relics? You came at the right time. Hand over the money," the thug with the earring said viciously.

"We’re not trying not to pay! Once we sell these scraps, we can give you the money. Please, don’t bully my son," Ye Fei’s parents pleaded bitterly. They would rather be beaten themselves than see their son suffer.

"You don’t want me to hit him? Then I’ll make sure I do!" The thug sneered and swung a slap at Ye Fei. However, the next moment, he found his hand couldn’t move.

Yang Qi could no longer stand by and watch. He had grabbed the thug’s wrist, immobilizing him completely.

"You bastard, let go of me! Are you trying to die?" the thug blustered.

SMACK! Yang Qi slapped him with his left hand. The thug’s face instantly swelled up as blood went flying.

"AH—!" The thug let out a hysterical scream, as if he were about to die.

"Kill them! Kill them for me!" he bellowed.

The dozen or so men behind him all lunged at Yang Qi. His expression turned cold as he used the thug like a weapon, swinging him at the attackers.

BANG! BANG! SMACK! SMACK!

In an instant, all of them were on the ground. The lead thug was seeing stars, overwhelmed with agony.

"Damn it! Damn it all! You’re dead! Quick, call Brother Bao! We’re being bullied!" the lead thug cried out in pain.

"Yang Qi, you’ve caused huge trouble. You need to run! You can’t afford to offend him." Ye Fei’s parents naturally recognized Yang Qi. They had seen him many times before. Since Yang Qi had no parents, he had a good relationship with them; in the past, they had even treated him like their own son.

"That’s right, Yang Qi, you should go! Whatever you do, don’t confront Brother Bao. If he comes, you’ll end up in the hospital, or with a broken leg at the very least. That guy is a lawless madman. No one here dares to provoke him," Ye Fei also yelled urgently.

"If I leave, what about you all?" Yang Qi asked.

"We’ll be fine. It’s not the first time we’ve been beaten," Ye Fei said with a bitter smile. "It’s been like this almost every day. Those guys are always finding new ways to cause trouble. Even if you hadn’t stepped in, they wouldn’t have let us go. We’re used to it!"

What! Hearing this, Yang Qi grew even more furious. To bully people to this extent... they truly deserve to die.

"I don’t care if he’s Brother Bao or Brother Dog. If he dares to lay a hand on you, I’ll make him pay the price!" A murderous intent flashed in Yang Qi’s eyes.
