“That’s a hell lot of a favor, killing two of my family members in a row.”
“You can’t blame this on me. I didn’t know that I would be snitched on,” Brother Nan quickly explained. “I didn’t know anything about that incident back then. I didn’t know that the enemy would take such extreme revenge on you.”
“Your men have already told me everything.” He Yanzhi smiled coldly. “The enemy asked for peace and gave you ten territories, on the condition you sold me out. Isn’t that right?”
Brother Nan’s face turned pale and his hands began to tremble. “You… Can’t you let me off?”
“Let you off?” He Yanzhi seemed to have lost his patience and stood up. “You really disappoint me. I thought that you wouldn’t be so weak after betraying Brother Yang and wanting to establish your own family. I didn’t expect that… you would be so easily frightened.”
“Alright, I’ve seen how ugly you can be. If you want to light a fire, then light it. Or should I ask my subordinates to help you? We’re at the dock anyway, and this is a broken ship. Even if it’s on fire, no one will think that there’s someone on it.”
After saying that, He Yanzhi turned around and jumped onto the dock.
“He Yanzhi, what I am today will be you tomorrow.” This was Brother Nan’s final advice to He Yanzhi.
“I will never be like you.” With that, He Yanzhi walked up to his subordinates and instructed, “As usual, don’t take any lives. Punish them as you should.”
It was then that he finally avenged Auntie Hong and Grandma He.
As for his future path, he knew what kind of choices he was making.
He would not make a wrong turn.
“Brother He, it’s been hard on you. Go back and rest.”
“Count the territories in this bastard’s hands and show them to Brother Yang.” Before he got into the car, he told Zhi Chu, “I don’t like these things. It’s useless to keep them.”
“Got it.” Zhi Chu nodded.
Soon, the originally calm sea surface erupted into flames. He Yanzhi looked at it indifferently and absolutely believed in his subordinates.
..
When he returned to the hotel, it was almost ten o’clock at night.
He Yanzhi looked at his watch and frowned slightly. He didn’t know if that little girl was asleep.
Thinking of this, he opened the door and was a little surprised because the lights in the room were still on.
She was waiting for him.
“You’re back?” Little Qi got up from the sofa.
“Yeah, why aren’t you sleeping?” He Yanzhi took off his coat and hung it on the side. Looking at Little Qi, he could see that she hadn’t washed up yet.
“My dad called and asked me to go home. Since you’re back safely now, send me home,” Little Qi said as she raised the phone in her hand.
He Yanzhi was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood Little Qi’s intention.
She always waited for him to e back before leaving because she didn’t want him to feel lonely in the room.
Then, He Yanzhi pulled Little Qi into his arms, and his voice trembled slightly. “But… I don’t want to let you go back at all. What should I do?”
Little Qi hugged him and thought for a few seconds before asking, “Why don’t you tell him that you’re injured and that I have to take care of you?”
“Then, do I have to put my hand in a cast tomorrow?” He Yanzhi was amused and he let go of Little Qi. “Now is not the time. Wait for me… to return to my rightful place and let you stay by my side and spend the night here.”
