My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 78: Beaten to the Punch

Although Yang Qi wanted to spend more time with Lin Qingxuan, he couldn’t delay her work. He drove to the Zhang residence with Xiaoduo and the Wolf King, while the other members of the Seventy-Two Wolves remained at the Li residence.

On the street, Jiang Meiyu was on the verge of tears. "Daughter, what should we do?"

Li Qiutong’s eyes burned with hatred. "Yang Qi, I will never let you get away with this! You all should get a hotel for now. I’m going to find Qin Tian."

Yang Qi had destroyed her luxurious life. Her entire destiny now rested on Qin Tian. Unfortunately, he seemed to be busy with something and wasn’t even answering her calls. On the verge of tears and with no other choice, Li Qiutong used the last of her money—savings from her parents, as she always spent lavishly and never saved—to get a hotel room.

By this time, Yang Qi had already arrived at the Zhang estate, where Xiong Ba and Huang Borren had taken control. Yang Qi wandered around the mansion until he reached Zhang Junwang’s study. Only then did he realize just how extravagant the man’s life had been. The room was filled with genuine antiques, many of which radiated Spiritual Energy.

This is great. This should be enough for my cultivation to advance again.

Yang Qi glanced at the Wolf King. "Stand guard at the door. No one is allowed to enter."

"Yes!" the Wolf King nodded.

"Take this and eat it. I guarantee it will enhance your strength," Yang Qi said, handing a Body Tempering Pill to the Wolf King. This was no low-grade item from an auction; it was a pill Yang Qi had refined himself, making it far more effective for Martial Artists.

"Thank you, Boss!" The Wolf King was knowledgeable enough to recognize a treasure when he saw one. He swallowed it immediately, and his body began to transform. He quickly sat down to meditate.

Inside the room, Yang Qi also began his cultivation. He gathered all the antiques that possessed Spiritual Energy and activated the Dragon God Technique, absorbing the power within them. A golden dragon circled astonishingly above his head.

He cultivated for the entire night, yet when morning came, he felt no fatigue. Thanks to the antiques, his cultivation had skyrocketed by two levels, advancing directly from the fifth to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Stage. His combat power had become even more terrifying, now comparable to a Martial Arts Master.

"Boss, have you finished cultivating?" At the door, the Wolf King’s demeanor was even more respectful than the day before. His own cultivation had also broken through. A single Body Tempering Pill had allowed him to advance from the Entry level of Martial Arts Master straight to the Mastery level. How could he not be ecstatic?

Entry, Proficiency, Mastery, Perfection, Peak, and Completion were the six stages of the Martial Arts Master realm. This progression was similar for the Outer Strength, Inner Strength, Postnatal, and Innate realms as well.

"This is bad! There’s trouble!" Xiong Ba cried, running over in a panic.

"What happened?" Yang Qi asked. "Slow down and tell me clearly."

Xiong Ba caught his breath. "President Ye was beaten up!"

"Who did it?" Yang Qi’s expression instantly darkened. Someone dared to harm Ye Fei? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"The security guards at Zhang Corporation!" Xiong Ba explained. "Today, President Ye went to take over Zhang Corporation with the contract, but they threw him out and beat him."

"How badly is he hurt?" Yang Qi asked.

"His injuries aren’t severe, but President Ye is very upset. He feels he’s let you down and has been sulking ever since," Xiong Ba said.

"It’s good that his injuries aren’t serious. Call Ye Fei and tell him to wait for me at Zhang Corporation. I’m heading over now!" Yang Qi said coldly. To be beaten while trying to legally take over a company was absolutely intolerable.

「Outside the Zhang Corporation building.」

Ye Fei stood there, bruised and battered. Although his injuries weren’t serious, the humiliation was immense.

"What exactly happened?" Yang Qi asked.

"Zhang Corporation refuses to acknowledge the agreement. They claim the Zhang Family sold off all their shares long ago and that the corporation no longer belongs to them. Therefore, it isn’t ours to take," Ye Fei replied.

"Impossible. Didn’t we check just yesterday? The Zhang Family had one hundred percent control of Zhang Corporation," Yang Qi frowned.

"Exactly!" Ye Fei exclaimed.

The Qin Family! I remember now, Qin Tian was busy when Li Qiutong called him yesterday. He must have been orchestrating this. With the Qin Family’s resources, it would be all too easy to quietly transfer all of the Zhang Family’s shares to themselves. Heh, so he wants to play these little tricks with me!

Yang Qi sneered and started walking toward the entrance of the Zhang Corporation office building but was blocked by security guards.

"Who hit my brother?" Yang Qi asked, his voice chilling. Even if he decided to forego taking over Zhang Corporation, his brother’s grudge had to be avenged.

"I did. So what?" a burly security guard sneered, stepping forward with an electric baton in his hand. He was unbelievably arrogant. The guards behind him were no ordinary men either; they were all Outer Strength Martial Artists.

"So what? Wolf King, teach them what ’so what’ means!" Yang Qi commanded coldly.

"Yes!"

The Wolf King shot forward like a ferocious predator. He slammed a fist into the burly guard’s torso. The man, who weighed at least two hundred pounds, was hit so hard he doubled over and vomited bile.

BANG! BANG! SMACK! SMACK!

In the next moment, the rest of the security guards were all on the ground.

Yang Qi walked up to the burly guard. "Which hand did you use to hit him?" he asked coldly.

"You dare to hit me? Do you have any idea who I work for?" the guard snarled.

"If you don’t tell me, I’ll cripple both of your hands," Yang Qi stated flatly.

A moment later, a scream echoed through the air as the burly security guard’s hands were crippled. Having the Wolf King as a helper was truly a great convenience. It meant Yang Qi didn’t have to handle everything himself.

"You have some nerve!"

Suddenly, several cars pulled up to the building’s entrance, and a group of men got out. The one who spoke was Zhang Hai, the general manager of Zhang Corporation. He was also a member of the Zhang Family, but after hearing what was happening, he had contacted Qin Tian. Now, he had been promoted to President of Zhang Corporation. His new backer was none other than Qin Tian.

They had been working since yesterday, using the Qin Family’s network to brazenly transfer all of the Zhang Family’s shares to Qin Tian. Furthermore, they had fabricated the evidence so flawlessly that even an official investigation would find nothing amiss.

At the time, Zhang Hai had cursed the Zhang Family for being foolish enough to provoke someone like Lei Qingtian. It was simply courting death. Qin Tian, on the other hand, had merely remarked on how lucky Yang Qi was. He was on the verge of being killed, and then the incident with Lei Qingtian happened.

But what they didn’t know was that even without Lei Qingtian’s intervention, Yang Qi could have single-handedly annihilated the Zhang Family. The scene just would have been much bloodier.

Zhang Hai stared at Yang Qi. "This is the Qin Family’s property now! Who gave you the audacity to come here and cause trouble?"

"The Qin Family’s property?" Yang Qi chuckled coldly. "Judging by those dark circles under your eyes, you didn’t sleep all night, did you? You worked so hard to transfer the Zhang Family’s shares to Qin Tian. Do you really think that leaves me with no other options?"
