My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 64: Gather and Clean Up!

"Yang Qi, Xiong Ba, you’re courting death," one of the men sneered, even while on his knees. "Our young master’s teacher has already returned. And we’ve also contacted Elder Bai. He’s the true big shot of the Kang City Jianghu, not someone you can afford to provoke. You’d better let us go obediently. Otherwise, you two are dead for sure!"

Even as they knelt on the ground, the five of them still spoke with arrogance.

"Xiong Ba, what do you think I should do with them?" Yang Qi asked.

"Mr. Yang, if you trust me, I’ll take these five to Kangshan and let the wild beasts there eat them," Xiong Ba said.

"Agreed!" Yang Qi nodded. "I don’t want to see them again. Let their blood be a tribute to the deceased Zhang Xiaoduo."

"No—! Don’t! We were just following Zhang Peng’s orders!" the five men screamed in horror, their bravado finally shattering.

But Yang Qi paid them no mind and simply walked away. Xiong Ba would handle the rest. First, these minions would be dealt with. Then, it would be time for the others.

「A quiet night passed.」

The next day, Yang Qi arrived early at Wu Chong’s Feiyang Real Estate Company.

Heh, just a poor college student in the past. Who would have thought that after causing Zhang Xiaoduo’s death, he would climb this far by leeching off her. His fortune must be in the hundreds of millions by now.

Yang Qi looked at the luxurious office building, and a cold smile touched his lips.

If heaven won’t punish someone like this, I will. If heaven is blind, I will enact justice in its place!

"Mr. Yang? Please, come in."

Because Xiong Ba had used his connections to make an appointment last night, they were able to see Wu Chong directly this morning. After all, the man was a big boss now, and getting a meeting wasn’t easy.

In the president’s office, Wu Chong was drinking tea. His secretary was perched on the desk, flirting and laughing with him. They were clearly having a wonderful time.

He’s probably forgotten all about Zhang Xiaoduo’s gruesome death.

"Mr. Wu, you certainly are in high spirits!"

Yang Qi pushed the door open and strode inside.

Wu Chong frowned. The voice sounded familiar, as he had met Yang Qi a few times back when he was dating Zhang Xiaoduo. He looked up abruptly and was startled. "Yang! Yang Qi! What are you doing here!"

He was afraid at first, because his conscience was guilty. But then he remembered he had a whole team of security guards. What was there to fear from Yang Qi?

He couldn’t help but sneer, "Mr. Yang, are you here looking for a job?"

Yang Qi sat down on the sofa and looked coldly at Wu Chong. "Mr. Wu, are you able to sleep at night? Don’t you ever see Zhang Xiaoduo’s blood-soaked face?"

"Shut up! I don’t have time to waste on you right now. I’m busy," Wu Chong shouted.

"Busy playing with your secretary?" Yang Qi sneered. "Fine, I’m done messing with you. I came today to make a deal."

"What kind of deal could a down-and-out loser like you possibly make with me?" Wu Chong said disdainfully.

"You know Huang Borren, right?" Yang Qi asked calmly.

Wu Chong’s expression changed instantly. Of course he knew Huang Borren.

"You see, I obtained a video from Huang Borren," Yang Qi said, a smile playing on his lips. "If this video were exposed, it would be quite something. You and those two bitches would probably go to prison. I’m talking about Xiaoduo’s two ’best friends,’ of course. Do I need to be any clearer?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t done anything," Wu Chong blustered, clearly panicked but trying to keep up a tough facade.

Yang Qi took out several photos printed from screenshots of the video. The video itself was destroyed, but these photos were more than enough to intimidate Wu Chong.

Seeing the pictures, Wu Chong’s face drained of color.

"Get out," he snapped at his secretary.

GULP.

He swallowed hard and looked at Yang Qi. "Where did you get these photos?"

"Huang Borren gave them to me," Yang Qi smiled. "Don’t you know him?"

"Name your price," Wu Chong said in terror. "What will it take for you to give me the video and these photos? I can’t believe it. Zhang Xiaoduo looked up to you like a brother, yet you’re using this video of her for blackmail. You’re no better than us."

"That’s none of your concern."

Yang Qi was only doing this to gather the three of them in one place. The other two women weren’t in Kang City, making them difficult to find. He was certain Wu Chong would contact them, allowing him to deal with everyone at once.

"How much money do you want?" Wu Chong asked coldly.

"Hmm, seeing as your company is doing so well, I won’t ask for much," Yang Qi said with a smile. "How about this... five hundred million from each of you three. That comes to one and a half billion total."

"Bastard! That’s blatant extortion! If you want that kind of money, why don’t you go to the Zhang Family?" Wu Chong roared.

Yang Qi replied indifferently, "This video poses no threat to the Zhang Family; they have plenty of ways to handle it. But you three are different. Your capabilities are limited. If this video gets out, you’re finished."

"You! You’re a cunning bastard!" Wu Chong said, grinding his teeth. "But that’s too much! I can’t get that kind of money! Can’t you ask for less?"

"Heh, if you think it’s too much, then don’t pay," Yang Qi laughed coldly. "I’ll give you three days to get the money together. After three days, I’ll release the video to the public. I have no idea what might happen then."

With that, he stood up and left with Xiong Ba.

Wu Chong was in no mood to flirt with his secretary anymore. He collapsed weakly to the floor. His business was substantial, so he could probably scrape together five or six hundred million. But one and a half billion? That kid was too ruthless. Where was he supposed to get that kind of money?

Those two can’t get away with this either. I have to get them back here.

Wu Chong took a deep breath and called the two women. These two had been Zhang Xiaoduo’s best friends, yet they were the very ones who had betrayed and framed her in the end.

「Two days later.」

The two women arrived in Kang City and gathered with Wu Chong, who explained the situation to them.

"Damn it, how could there be a video? Why would we be filmed?" the two women cried, terrified.

"The video must be real," Wu Chong said with a sigh. "I haven’t seen it myself, but I saw the photos Yang Qi showed me. They clearly depict what happened that night. It’s unmistakable."

"Then we’re in big trouble! We can’t let him release that video!" one of the women panicked. "If it gets out, we’re finished! We’ll lose everything and go to prison!"

"And the Zhang Family definitely won’t help us then," the other added, her voice trembling with fear. "They have ways to get out of it. They might even throw us under the bus to save themselves!"

"So, what should we do now? You have to come up with a plan!" Wu Chong pleaded, on the verge of tears from anxiety.

"You’re a man, how can you be so useless?" one of the women cursed. "Can’t you figure out a way to get rid of that Yang Qi?" They both thought Wu Chong was utterly worthless.
