"Brother Xiong, that's how it is! You must seek justice for me!" Tang Jialei said, instigating. "And what they're doing, aren't they making you make a wasted trip as well?"
Upon hearing this, Han Sanwan made a move as if to explain. But before his feet could even step forward, the sound of a slap echoed.
*Slap.*
Xiong Zhentian’s palm struck Tang Jialei, spinning him around three times on the spot before he crashed to the ground.
"Jialei!"
"Jialei..."
Liu Jinxiu and Huang Lan rushed over, helping Tang Jialei up. They looked at Xiong Zhentian, filled with anger, but fearing his status, they dared not say anything.
Tang Jialei sat on the ground, his head buzzing, stars dancing before his eyes. It took about ten seconds before he recovered his senses. He spat a mouthful of bloody foam, teeth included, onto the ground, and looked up at Xiong Zhentian, asking, "Wh-why is this happening???"
Xiong Zhentian didn't answer him directly. Instead, he addressed everyone, "This Tang Jialei has corrupt morals, and I, Xiong Zhentian, find him utterly displeasing!"
"And this woman..." Xiong Zhentian's gaze shifted to Liu Jinxiu. "I heard that you and Tang Jialei got together because he initially harassed you, and your ex-boyfriend ended up in prison protecting you!"
"And then, you turned around and abandoned that boyfriend who treated you well and lost his freedom, to fall into the embrace of this scumbag, Tang Jialei?"
At this, Liu Jinxiu's face involuntarily flushed. She dared not meet Xiong Zhentian's or anyone else's gaze. After all, it wasn't something to be proud of!
"People like you are truly disgusting!" Xiong Zhentian continued. "So, everyone listen up. From now on, if anyone dares to attend their wedding, they are going against me, Xiong Zhentian. I, Xiong Zhentian, will absolutely not let them off!"
"Absolutely not let them off!"
Over a hundred burly men in black attire shouted in unison. The sound was so loud that even passersby outside the hotel could hear it. For a moment, many were startled by the sound and the imposing aura, their bodies trembling and cold sweat breaking out.
"Don't worry, Master Xiong, I promise I won't attend Tang Jialei's wedding!"
"Even if Tang Shunye personally invites me later, I won't attend!"
"Me neither!"
"I'll leave now, I'll leave now..."
In a moment, the guests began to stir and leave. Within five minutes, almost all the guests had departed from the banquet hall.
After they left, Xiong Zhentian glanced at Qin Yi. The latter nodded slightly. Xiong Zhentian didn't linger, leading his over a hundred subordinates and departing grandly.
At this point, Qin Yi stepped forward and walked towards Tang Jialei and his group. They hadn't managed to get up yet, all of them looking shocked, confused, and disbelieving.
Qin Yi looked down at them, a grin spreading across his face. "As they say, heaven sees all. You've done too many wicked things, and now even heaven can't stand it anymore. Your wedding today is not happening!"
"Liu Jinxiu, you desperately wanted to marry into wealth, and now look at you, tsk tsk..."
"Qin Yi, I'll screw your mom!"
Tang Jialei lost his composure. He broke free from Liu Jinxiu and Huang Lan's support, mustered all his strength to stand up, and punched towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi kicked him flying with a single foot. And the spot where he kicked him was the same as last time! Tang Jialei flew over ten meters before landing on the ground. A pool of blood flowed from his crotch, and he completely fainted from the pain. His nether regions had been struck heavily by Qin Yi twice, rendering him completely incapacitated.
"Jialei, ah..."
"You bastard Qin, I'll fight you to the death!"
Liu Jinxiu shrieked, her eyes red, and lunged at Qin Yi. She was slapped flying.
Liu Zhengshi, Huang Lan, and the Tang family bodyguards, witnessing this scene, all stumbled back several steps, distancing themselves from Qin Yi.
At this moment, Han Sanwan looked at the pool of blood on the ground where Tang Jialei lay. Perhaps worried that he might die and cause trouble, he stepped forward and said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Liu Zhengshi, Huang Lan, and the others reacted. They quickly grabbed Tang Jialei and Liu Jinxiu and left the hotel.
After everyone had left, Han Sanwan dismissed his bodyguards and the hotel security. Only he and Han Xin remained with Qin Yi.
"Phew!" Han Sanwan exhaled. "It's a good thing Xiong Zhentian didn't come to help the Tang family, otherwise, this would have been a lot more troublesome today!"
Han Xin asked curiously, "Dad, why do you think Xiong Zhentian targeted Tang Jialei?"
"Didn't he say it earlier? He found Tang Jialei and Liu Jinxiu displeasing!" Han Sanwan said with a laugh. "I didn't expect Xiong Zhentian to have such an upright side, it's quite interesting!"
"By the way, Mr. Qin, the person earlier was Xiong Zhentian, he's the underworld boss of our Haicheng..." Han Sanwan thought Qin Yi didn't know Xiong Zhentian and began to explain.
Qin Yi smiled and nodded, saying nothing.
Neither of them suspected that Xiong Zhentian's actions had anything to do with him. They didn't even consider that possibility. After all, they knew Qin Yi's situation fairly well, so how could he possibly be connected to Xiong Zhentian and order him around?
Later, Han Sanwan invited Qin Yi to lunch. Qin Yi couldn't refuse such a kind offer and ate lunch with them at the hotel before heading home. Moreover, Han Sanwan asked Han Xin to drive Qin Yi home.
...
Qin Yi returned to the Fuguirenjia residential area and found Qin Lei and Zheng Shufen sitting on a bench in the community. It was summer, and at noon, the temperature in Haicheng had reached over thirty degrees Celsius.
Seeing them sitting on the bench, Qin Yi quickened his pace. "Mom, Xiao Lei, what are you doing sitting here in this heat?"
"Let's go, let's go back quickly!" Qin Yi made a move to help Zheng Shufen up from the bench.
Zheng Shufen, however, refused. "Xiao Yi, we're not in a hurry to go back!"
Qin Yi was surprised. "Mom, it's so hot. Even if you want to get some fresh air, shouldn't you wait until it's cooler in the evening?"
"It's not that, brother..." Qin Lei, to avoid her facial scar being seen, wore a mask and was currently sweating profusely. She said, "Da Peng Ge is at our house, and we can't go back right now!"
"???"
Qin Yi's face showed multiple question marks. What did it mean that Zheng Da Peng was at their house and they couldn't go back?
Zheng Shufen explained, "Da Peng brought a girlfriend home today and said he wanted to borrow your friend's villa..."
Qin Yi suddenly understood. Zheng Da Peng bringing a girlfriend home and borrowing his villa, wasn't it to show off and deceive people?
Qin Yi said speechlessly, "Mom, Zheng Da Peng borrowing our villa is clearly to deceive people! Let's go, we're going back!" He helped Zheng Shufen up without further ado and walked towards home.
Putting aside the fact that Zheng Da Peng was borrowing his villa to deceive people, just the act of calling Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei out at noon made Qin Yi very unhappy. It was his house, after all!
