Chapter 28

Jiangzhou has two very famous mountains; one is the Cloudy Mountain, where the nobles gather, and the other is the desolate Southern Mountain.

At this moment.

On the summit of Southern Mountain, Zhao Yun's few subordinates were digging a hole with iron shovels.

As for Lei Hu, he was tied up and kneeling before Ye Qiu, pleading for mercy.

"Mr. Ye, please don't kill me. This was all instigated by Guo Shaocong. Guo Shaocong said that if I killed you and your mother, he would give me a million."

Although Lei Hu looked tough and had a scar on his face, he was now trembling with fear.

"If he tells you to kill, you kill. If he tells you to eat shit, would you eat shit too?" Ye Qiu said coldly.

"Mr. Ye, if you let me go, I will work for you like a horse, no, I can be your dog, woof woof woof..." Lei Hu even started barking like a dog.

"You're not qualified to be my dog." Ye Qiu had already decided to eliminate the root of the problem and leave no room for future trouble.

"Mr. Ye, you and your mother rely on each other. Your mother loves you so much, have you thought about her? If you kill me, you will break the law and face legal punishment. When you are in jail, your mother will be alone and miserable. Can you bear it?"

Lei Hu was making his last effort, knowing that Ye Qiu's weakness was Qian Jinglan, hoping to move Ye Qiu with these words.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Ye Qiu's resolve.

"Regardless of the consequences, I won't let you two live today."

As Ye Qiu spoke, he glanced at Guo Shaocong sitting in the wheelchair, and the words Lin Jingzhi had told him echoed in his mind: a man must be ruthless to stand firm.

If he showed mercy today, Guo Shaocong and Lei Hu might seek revenge in the future.

Therefore, only by eliminating them could he completely solve the problem.

"Killing me will land you in jail!" Lei Hu shouted, "Mr. Ye, my life is cheap. Is it worth it to pay with your life for me?"

Ye Qiu sneered, "Did I say I would do it myself?"

Lei Hu was taken aback.

"Brother Zhao, I'll leave it to you." Ye Qiu suddenly said to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun smiled, "It's a small matter, no need to be polite."

Only then did Lei Hu realize that Ye Qiu wanted Zhao Yun to kill him. If that were the case, no one would know he was dead, and Ye Qiu wouldn't bear any responsibility.

After all, with Zhao Yun's methods, he could ensure there were no traces left behind.

But, he couldn't accept dying like this.

Lei Hu then said to Zhao Yun, "Mr. Zhao, I beg you, for the sake of our past work under Dragon King, please talk to Mr. Ye and let me go! I promise to be a good person from now on!"

"From now on? Do you think you have a future? Let me tell you, Dragon King has long wanted to deal with you." Zhao Yun said, "He knows everything you've done over the past two years."

"Let's not talk about the distant past, just this year. In March, you forcibly evicted a couple who refused to move for a construction company, and you even used an excavator to kill them."

"In May, you saw a young and beautiful female teacher in the university town. You raped her and threatened her with a video to prevent her from reporting you. Afterward, you repeatedly harassed her, driving her to a mental institution."

"A month later, you sang at a club, ordered a lot of expensive wine, and when you couldn't pay, you and your gang claimed the wine was fake, smashed the club, and extorted 100,000 from the owner."

"And more..."

Zhao Yun listed over a dozen of Lei Hu's misdeeds.

"Brothers have long reported your actions to Dragon King. If it weren't for his poor health, do you think you would still be alive?"

Zhao Yun continued, "We who live by the code of the underworld must follow the rules, be loyal, and uphold the code of honor. Those who do too many evil deeds will eventually destroy themselves. Lei Hu, be a good person in your next life!"

Lei Hu felt a chill run down his spine. Zhao Yun's words made it clear that he was doomed today.

"Brother Zhao, the hole is ready," a subordinate said.

"Lei Hu, any last words?" Zhao Yun asked.

Lei Hu smiled bitterly, "I brought this upon myself. Mr. Zhao, can you make it quick? I don't want to be buried alive."

Zhao Yun glanced at Ye Qiu, who did not object, and nodded, "Alright, I'll grant your wish."

"Thank you!" Lei Hu closed his eyes, preparing to die.

Zhao Yun took out a dagger and, with a swift motion, slit Lei Hu's throat.

Puff!

Lei Hu was dead in an instant.

"Burial," Zhao Yun said expressionlessly.

"Yes!" The subordinates threw Lei Hu's body into the hole and quickly covered it with soil.

Guo Shaocong, sitting nearby, pretended to be calm, thinking Ye Qiu was just scaring him. But after seeing Lei Hu's death, he was terrified.

"Help, help..." Guo Shaocong screamed at the top of his lungs.

Slap!

Zhao Yun slapped Guo Shaocong's face, annoyed, "What are you yelling about! In this remote area, even if you shout until your throat is raw, no one will come to save you."

Guo Shaocong finally begged Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, I was wrong, don't kill me, okay? I'll give Zhang Lili back to you, and I can have my father give you a hospital admission spot. As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you anything you want, please."

"Burial!" Ye Qiu gave no further words, directly ordering Zhao Yun's subordinates to bury Guo Shaocong alive.

Soon, Guo Shaocong, along with his wheelchair, was thrown into the hole.

"Ye Qiu, don't kill me, I was wrong, I won't oppose you anymore, please don't kill me..." Guo Shaocong cried, tears and snot streaming down his face, looking utterly miserable.

"Goodbye, Guo Shaocong!"

Ye Qiu smiled and waved, then instructed Zhao Yun's subordinates, "Bury him slowly, let him experience the fear of death."

"Understood." Zhao Yun's subordinates slowed down their pace.

Guo Shaocong struggled to climb out of the hole, but his injuries prevented him from exerting any strength. Soon, the soil reached his neck, leaving only his head exposed.

"Ye Qiu, spare me, I beg you, I don't want to die, I haven't married, I want a son, I... I'll f*ck your mother! I won't let you off even as a ghost!" Guo Shaocong's face twisted with hatred, his voice filled with venom.

"If you come for me as a ghost, I'll make sure you are utterly destroyed."
