Junhao Grand Hotel.

Chen Yang leaned against the car door, lit a cigarette, and took a slow drag. Yang Hu stood beside him and said, "Boss, it's confirmed. The one who orchestrated that car accident was indeed the Second Young Master of the Xue Family, Xue Wenlong!"

"What about the driver? Did Xue Wenlong silence him?" Chen Yang asked.

Yang Hu nodded. "There's no trace of him. He was most likely silenced."

Chen Yang stubbed out his cigarette and strode into the hotel.

The Junhao Hotel was a Xue Family property, and the entire nineteenth floor was Xue Wenlong's exclusive private domain. Just as they exited the elevator, a group of over a dozen men in black eyed them warily before closing in.

"This is a private area. Please leave," said the man in the lead.

Yang Hu asked, "Is Young Master Xue Wenlong here?"

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

The leader took a step forward and said coldly, "Please leave immediately!"

With a piercing gaze and a fierce aura, Yang Hu stepped forward.

BEEP!

The intense pressure washed over the men, their expressions changing as they instinctively paused.

What a formidable presence!

"We're from the Qin Corporation, here to ask Young Master Xue about a car accident. No need to be nervous," Yang Hu said with a grin, striding forward.

The leader's expression flickered. "You… stop right there!" he said in a deep voice.

BANG!

Yang Hu shot forward. The leader took the brunt of the charge and was sent flying sideways, spraying a trail of blood.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Like a titan, Yang Hu bulldozed a path straight through them.

The remaining men were stunned into silence, clinging to the corridor walls, too frightened to move.

Is he even human?

With his hands clasped behind his back, Chen Yang strolled past them nonchalantly.

With Yang Hu clearing the way, Chen Yang entered a luxurious suite that spanned hundreds of square meters. It was equipped with a bar, a dance floor, a golf simulator, and everything else imaginable, exuding opulence at every turn.

Wearing nothing but a bath towel that showcased his explosive muscles, Xue Wenlong had just stepped out of his bathtub. He had a beautiful woman tucked under each arm and a cigar clenched between his teeth, looking utterly content.

At the bar, two men and three women were playing drinking games, their laughter filling the lively atmosphere.

Seeing strangers barge in, they all turned with slight frowns.

Xue Wenlong's face instantly darkened. "Who are you?" he asked coldly.

"Half a year ago, Qin Donglai, the Chairman of the Qin Corporation, died in a car accident. Rumor has it you arranged it?" Chen Yang said indifferently, picking up a glass of wine from a table.

Yang Hu was even more brazen. He grabbed a bunch of grapes, sat on the table, and began to eat them leisurely.

The people in the suite exchanged glances.

These two certainly have some nerve, treating this place like their own home.

Xue Wenlong was visibly taken aback for a moment before he scoffed, "Where did you riffraff come from? Do you think the things here are for you to enjoy?"

"Answer my question," Chen Yang said calmly, pulling over a chair and sitting down.

Xue Wenlong laughed in fury. "Who the hell do you think you are to question me?"

"So it was you, then?"

"That's right, it was me!" Xue Wenlong pushed the women away and said grimly, "Qin Donglai was courting death. He dared to refuse when I offered to buy his formula, so I had to have him killed!"

"Besides, in many cases, death alone isn't enough. That formula will fall into my hands sooner or later!"

Completely unafraid, Xue Wenlong took a drag from his cigar and squinted. "Do you know why I'm being so honest?"

"You're planning to kill us to keep us quiet," Yang Hu interjected flatly.

"Since you know that, you'd better get on your knees for me right now!" Xue Wenlong's eyes were savage, his muscles bulging as he spoke in an utterly chilling voice.

"Pah!"

Yang Hu spat out a grape skin and snorted with disdain. "Idiot."

"What did you say?" Xue Wenlong sneered. "Death is staring you in the face, and you're still trying to act tough?"

"I said you're an idiot." Yang Hu produced a voice recorder, a smirk playing on his lips. "It's a voice recorder. High-fidelity, crystal-clear. Want me to play it back for you?"

Xue Wenlong was speechless.

He's actually playing dirty with me?

"Tell me," Yang Hu continued, putting the recorder away with a wicked smile, "if I hand this recording over to the constables, do you think it's enough to get you the death penalty?"

"Haha!" Xue Wenlong burst out laughing. "You know I'll kill you to silence you, yet you still flaunt this recording? You two are really something else!"

"And let's be generous. With the Xue Family's influence in Lingjin City, even if this recording got out, what could anyone do to me? The death penalty? Aren't you a little naive?"

Having already decided to kill them, why would Xue Wenlong care about their threats?

To him, this was simply courting death. It was utterly ridiculous.

Chen Yang swirled his wine and instructed Yang Hu, "Contact the head of the Xue Family. Inform him that I'm taking this mutt's life."

"Haha! Is this guy an idiot? Has he not realized his situation yet?"

"This is hilarious!"

A wave of raucous laughter erupted in the room.

They had seen fools before, but never one this foolish. It was unbelievable.

Xue Wenlong threw his head back and roared with laughter. "Kid, save that phone call for the Underworld! I'll burn my grandpa's phone number for you later! Oh, and you can give that recording to King Yama. See if he sends the Black and White Impermanence to claim my life!"

His words were met with another burst of thunderous laughter.

"Kneel and kowtow right now! If you make me happy, maybe I'll give you a quick death!" Xue Wenlong reached out and pointed a finger as thick as a carrot at Chen Yang, a cold sneer on his face.

Chen Yang placed his glass upside down on the table. His eyes narrowed as an icy chill exploded from him. "Before tomorrow, I expect you to publicly confess your crimes through the media and kowtow in apology to the Qin Family."

"As for your life, I'll let you keep it for now. I will notify the head of your family to ask if he was aware of this. Then, I'll chop off your head."

The grudge for a murdered father was irreconcilable. As Qin Qiu's husband, it was Chen Yang's duty to see this matter through to the end.

Xue Wenlong was speechless. He himself was an arrogant man, but he had never met someone so impossibly arrogant.

Does this guy think he's the Heavenly King himself?

Kill him? And then go to the Xue Family to settle the score?

How utterly laughable.

Xue Wenlong snickered and took a sudden step forward, unleashing a ferocious, tiger-like momentum.

However…

Chen Yang raised his right hand and waved it gently.

That one, simple gesture struck the charging Xue Wenlong like a pneumatic hammer.

BOOM!

His nearly two-hundred-pound body was lifted off the ground and sent flying backward. He crashed through a row of bookshelves and collapsed into a pool of his own blood.

"This…"

Xue Wenlong knelt on the floor, his face pale and his spirit broken.

When he finally raised his horrified eyes, he saw Chen Yang dabbing his mouth with a napkin before turning to leave.

He was just leaving?

"You… don't you go!" Xue Wenlong gritted his teeth, his crimson eyes blazing with indignation and fury. As a third-tier Fist Master, how could he accept such a defeat?

But when he struggled to stand, he was horrified to find that half his ribs were broken and his left shoulder blade was grotesquely twisted.

He just waved his hand like he was shooing a fly, and I'm already half-crippled?

"No! This is impossible!" Xue Wenlong couldn't believe his eyes.

"My Boss means that before tomorrow, you must publicly confess your crimes through the media. As for your life, consider it on loan to you for now. If your family was unaware of this matter, then the head of your family should be the one to chop off your head."

Yang Hu pulled out his handgun, pressed it against Xue Wenlong's forehead, and said in a low voice, "But if the entire Xue Family was in on it, then your family has no reason to exist anymore."

"Understand?"

Xue Wenlong was silent.
