My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 70: Time to Resolve the Grudges Completely!
That night, Yang Qi and Lin Qingxuan sat drinking tea together.
"Tomorrow, my feud with the Zhang Family will finally come to an end," Yang Qi said with a smile.
"Do you need help?" Lin Qingxuan asked.
"No need. I have everything prepared. I’ll send the Zhang Family off with the grandest performance," Yang Qi replied.
"Great! I wish you success!" Lin Qingxuan smiled. "It’s getting late. Go back and get some rest."
Yang Qi nodded and left. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Lin Qingxuan walked into the empty courtyard. She spoke into the darkness, "Uncle Jian, gather our people tomorrow and head to Kangshan. My man is seeking revenge, and I must help him."
"Yes!" a voice replied from the darkness.
Afterward, Lin Qingxuan went back inside as if nothing had happened.
Uncle Jian was someone her parents had left for her. Even the Lin Family in Jingzhou knew nothing of him. Her parents had sacrificed themselves for the Jingzhou Lin Family. Worried about their child being left alone, they had bequeathed her a fortune. This fortune wasn’t just money but also a group of loyal guards, and Uncle Jian was their leader.
She hadn’t told Yang Qi simply because she didn’t want to involve him too deeply, nor did she want to expose Uncle Jian and the others.
Just as Yang Qi returned to his room, he received a call from Lei Tingjun.
"Mr. Yang, everything is ready," Lei Tingjun reported. "I will personally lead the team. Tomorrow, you just need to give the signal, and we will appear immediately! Additionally, my father is also planning to come in person. The City Lord of Kang City and others are coming as well. Zhang Xiaoduo’s death is a scandal for Kang City; they must go and apologize!"
"Mm," Yang Qi acknowledged with a nod. He hadn’t expected Lei Qingtian to go to such lengths. This old man is certainly farsighted.
The next day, Xiong Ba drove to pick up Yang Qi, and they headed toward Zhang Xiaoduo’s grave. Along the way, they saw several military-green vehicles, all of which seemed to be filled with soldiers. Xiong Ba was quite surprised. He didn’t know what was happening, but there appeared to be at least ten thousand men.
"Mr. Yang, I heard there’s a military training ground nearby. Our business... it won’t disturb them, will it?" Xiong Ba asked, a little worried.
"Are you scared?" Yang Qi asked lightly.
"Of course not! With you here, Mr. Yang, I’m not scared of anything!"
In truth, Xiong Ba was a little scared, but there was no way he would admit it.
Soon, the car reached the mountains, but they couldn’t drive any further. The mountain path was rugged and undeveloped, consisting of only narrow trails. They parked the car at the foot of the mountain and continued on foot.
By the time they arrived, Xiong Ba’s men were already there. Zhang Xiaoduo’s grave had been completely redone, and a grand, imposing headstone had been erected.
This was, perhaps, the only small consolation Yang Qi could offer her. He truly didn’t know how else he could compensate her, especially since she didn’t even have any family left.
A short while later, Ye Fei arrived. As her colleague, Ye Fei had also been very fond of the young girl. After paying his respects to Zhang Xiaoduo, Ye Fei frowned. "Qiqi, have you really made up your mind? I’m not afraid of death. I’ll die with you if I have to. But today, we might just be an egg trying to smash a stone."
"Don’t worry! I’m fully prepared," Yang Qi said with a smile. "The Zhang Family? I don’t even consider them a threat! Just wait and see."
Ye Fei sighed. Since Yang Qi was so confident, he said no more. All he could do was wait. He considered his life a bonus anyway. If the worst came to pass, he’d simply give it back to Yang Qi.
"Xiong Ba, have the Zhangs arrived yet?" Yang Qi asked.
"They’re getting ready to leave now. My men have them under surveillance," Xiong Ba nodded.
Yang Qi nodded, then sat on the ground and took out some wine to share with Ye Fei.
「Meanwhile, at the Zhang Family estate in Kang City.」
Zhang Junwang, Zhang Peng, and the others were ready to set out. Over the past few days, they had tried to bankrupt the Qifei Group. Instead, they were the ones who ended up losing more than half of their share of the pharmaceutical market. Since that plan had failed, they decided to deal with Yang Qi and Ye Fei directly. They had already received word that both men were up on Kangshan.
The eyes of both Zhang Junwang and Zhang Peng burned with cold ferocity. Yang Qi had crippled Zhang Peng’s brother—Zhang Junwang’s eldest son. They had been stewing over this grudge, and the feeling was suffocating. So, they would resolve it today.
"Where’s your woman?" Zhang Junwang suddenly asked, noticing Li Qiutong was nowhere to be seen.
"Dad, I gave that bitch to Qin Tian," Zhang Peng said. "Why else do you think the Qin Family helped us stabilize the situation?"
"Forget it. If you gave her away, you gave her away. She was just a bitch, anyway," Zhang Junwang said, shaking his head. To him, women were nothing more than tools. There weren’t many wealthy men in this world who still cherished women. Yang Qi was one of them, but unfortunately for him, Li Qiutong had still betrayed him.
Wu Chong and Zhang Xiaoduo’s two former best friends were also there. They were now able to walk with canes, and though they looked wretched, they still wanted to go up the mountain to watch Yang Qi’s downfall.
I can’t wait, they all thought, brimming with excitement.
"Dad, the Seventy-Two Wolves are in position, and our men are ready too," Zhang Peng said with a grin.
"Good. Very good. I want to see just how bold and powerful this Yang Qi really is, daring to say he’ll destroy us. All he has behind him is that puny Xiong Ba. My Zhang Family’s power alone is enough to destroy Xiong Ba ten times over, to say nothing of the men from your grandmaster, Bai Xingjian. This time, by eliminating Yang Qi, we will also make it clear to all of Kang City that the Zhang Family is not to be trifled with."
For Zhang Junwang, this was both an opportunity to establish his authority and a chance to demonstrate his power. They didn’t need this many people just to eliminate Yang Qi.
"Family Head, Old Master Bai has arrived!" the butler announced as he ran in from outside.
Everyone hurried out to welcome him. A line of cars was parked at the entrance; it was Bai Xingjian and his men. Bai Xingjian sat in a modified Cadillac. He rolled down the window but didn’t get out. His prominently bulging temples made it clear that this old man was a master. Despite being in his sixties, he was still immensely formidable.
Bai Xingjian opened his eyes slightly and glanced their way. The powerful aura he exuded was so overwhelming it almost brought Zhang Junwang and the others to their knees. This was Bai Xingjian, the number one magnate of Kang City.
Not only was he personally powerful, but he also commanded many subordinates, including countless experts. For this occasion, he had selected over a hundred of his elites. All of them were trained martial artists; at a minimum, they were masters of Outer Strength. He hadn’t brought any ordinary men with him.
"Grandmaster!" Zhang Peng stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Quite the procession you’ve assembled. Are you telling me you really need me to deal with some destitute punk?" Bai Xingjian asked indifferently.
"You misunderstand, Old Master Bai," Zhang Junwang chuckled. "We only invited you to lend our Zhang Family some support. We can handle the actual fighting. Besides, with you making an appearance, Yang Qi will probably be scared witless. Perhaps a fight won’t even be necessary."
He wasn’t just spouting empty flattery. What he said was likely true. Bai Xingjian was simply that powerful.
