Xiong Zhentian quickly raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to stop.
Then he asked Qin Yi, "Mr. Qin, do you have any further instructions?"
"Don't move him yet, I still have a use for him!"
Because of the other party, Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei had developed psychological trauma and had been living in the junkyard, afraid to move out.
Qin Yi kept the man around precisely because he wanted him to go in and speak to Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei, assuring them that they would no longer be targeted, thus dispelling their fears.
This way, he could help them move out of the junkyard.
Afterward, Qin Yi conveyed his intentions to Xiong Zhentian, who then had Daoba enter the junkyard to find Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei.
At first, upon seeing Daoba, Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei trembled with fear, their faces etched with dread.
However, when Daoba told them that they would no longer be targeted and could move out freely, their fear and trepidation were replaced by overwhelming joy...
Qin Yi did not accompany Daoba into the junkyard to find Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei.
He understood Zheng Shufen's personality; she detested people like Daoba. He didn't want her to know that Daoba's leniency had anything to do with him!
This was to prevent her from overthinking and worrying.
Furthermore, Qin Yi had matters to discuss with Xiong Zhentian outside.
Unexpectedly, after Daoba entered the junkyard, Xiong Zhentian ordered his subordinates and Daoba's dozen or so followers to step back, then bowed to Qin Yi and clasped his fists, saying, "Xiong Zhentian, head of the Sea City branch of Shenmen, pays his respects to the Divine King!"
Qin Yi looked bewildered, "What Divine Gate, Divine King? You must have the wrong person!"
Xiong Zhentian remained bowed, not straightening up, and shook his head resolutely, "Impossible. The Divine King tattoo is unique. If you have the Divine King tattoo, you are the Divine King!"
Qin Yi subconsciously raised his left wrist and looked at it, "You mean this?"
This tattoo was done by his master, the Mad Old Man, while he was sleeping. To this day, he still didn't know how the man had managed to tattoo him in the desolate prison.
Xiong Zhentian nodded, "Yes."
Originally, Qin Yi was about to say something more at this point, but before he could, he suddenly remembered that he had learned a lifetime of skills from the Mad Old Man.
Everything he could do now was bestowed by that person!
The Mad Old Man was clearly no fool, but a capable individual! Therefore, his act of giving him this tattoo on his wrist must have had a reason.
Qin Yi had never imagined that this tattoo would carry such significant meaning!
The Divine King tattoo, the Divine King...
After a moment, Qin Yi asked, "What is Shenmen?"
Xiong Zhentian was astonished. How could the Divine King not know about Shenmen?
However, he dared not say anything and merely replied respectfully, "Our Shenmen is the world's foremost power, with members spread across the globe and branches established in many locations. I am the head of the Sea City branch!"
"However, due to Shenmen's rules, we are to develop independently and hide our identities until summoned by the Divine King. Therefore, I and my fellow brothers have no contact with each other..."
Qin Yi listened, inwardly awestruck.
The world's foremost power!!!
His seemingly mad old master, besides imparting skills, had also given him such a grand identity. What was he trying to achieve?
Subsequently, Xiong Zhentian continued to explain some of Shenmen's affairs to Qin Yi. The more Qin Yi listened, the more shocked and astounded he became.
It was only when Daoba emerged that Xiong Zhentian finally stopped speaking.
As per Qin Yi's wishes, Xiong Zhentian did not let Daoba go and had his subordinates take him away.
From now on, he would likely not be seen in Sea City.
After all, the man had caused so much suffering to Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei. Would Qin Yi simply let him go because of an apology?
Besides Daoba, Qin Yi ensured that none of his subordinates who had bullied Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei over the years were spared by Xiong Zhentian.
They paid a heavy price.
After all this was done, Qin Yi asked Xiong Zhentian to leave and returned to the junkyard himself.
...
Upon returning to the junkyard, Qin Yi saw Qin Lei busily packing her belongings, ready to move.
Zheng Shufen, being immobile, sat and watched Qin Lei pack.
Her face was also filled with joy and excitement.
Seeing Qin Yi return, Qin Lei immediately ran over and grabbed his arm, saying, "Brother, we don't have to live here anymore, we can move!"
"That Daoba came to see us earlier, he said he won't bother us again!"
Her excited tone was as if she had received the greatest news.
Looking at her, Qin Yi felt a pang of heartache.
Seeing Qin Lei packing, Qin Yi directly said, "Xiao Lei, we don't need these things. We're moving to a new place and can buy new ones!"
What Qin Lei was packing were mostly old clothes and old daily necessities scavenged from the junkyard.
For the past few years, without work and with Daoba's harassment, they had to survive on what they found in the junkyard.
Most of their food, clothing, and daily necessities came from the junkyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Yi finished speaking, Zheng Shufen immediately retorted, "Xiao Yi, what are you talking about! These things are still perfectly fine, why would we discard them?"
"Buying new things costs money. You and Xiao Lei haven't worked in years, and you've just gotten out. Where would we get the money to buy new things?"
"Xiao Lei, don't listen to your brother, pack everything up and take it with you!"
"Mom..."
Qin Yi called out helplessly.
Zheng Shufen, however, didn't listen and continued to direct Qin Lei in packing, telling her to pack this and that, afraid of missing anything.
Qin Yi had no choice but to consider where they would go after leaving the junkyard and whether he should buy a house right away...
He now had thirty million yuan, so buying a house posed no pressure at all.
As Qin Yi was contemplating, Zheng Shufen said, "I've already called your uncle. He's agreed to let us stay with him temporarily."
"When we get to your uncle's place, Xiao Yi and Xiao Lei, you need to be observant and speak sweetly, and be diligent."
"Help them with chores. After all, we'll be disturbing them by staying there!"
"I know, Mom," Qin Lei replied without hesitation, "I'll definitely be diligent."
Qin Yi, however, was taken aback, "Move in with Uncle?"
"Yes!" Zheng Shufen said, "Otherwise, our house would have been sold long ago, and we have nothing else to live in."
"We can rent a place, buy a house..."
Qin Yi was about to say that they could rent a place and buy a house, but before he could finish, Zheng Shufen interrupted, "Renting a place costs so much money! With our current situation, where would we get the money to rent?"
"We'll stay at your uncle's place first. Once we find jobs and earn money, we'll move out!"
"Since Daoba is no longer bothering us, it must mean Tang Jialei has finally calmed down. As long as Tang Jialei doesn't target us anymore, we can find jobs normally!"
