Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Deserved Punishment

When Su Yang arrived at the gate of the Qin family, Qin Haishan had already been standing outside with a group of people waiting for quite some time.

”Mr. Su!”

Seeing Su Yang from a distance, Qin Haishan immediately bowed with clasped hands, treating him with great respect.

If anyone saw this scene, they would surely be shocked to the core. Qin Haishan, the head of the Qin family, one of the Pingnan Province Top Ten Families, was showing such reverence to Su Yang!?

Su Yang ignored him, hands in his pockets, and approached the Qin family members.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and Su Yang said with a faint smile, ”Qin Haishan, gathering so many people like this, are you planning to fight me again?”

”How dare I!” Qin Haishan hurriedly bowed and shook his head. ”I brought the Qin family members out to apologize to Mr. Su.”

”Apologize?” Su Yang looked at Qin Haishan with a smile. ”A true apology or a false one? Qin Haishan, surely you aren’t lacking in sincerity as well, are you?”

Qin Haishan’s expression turned embarrassed as he chuckled in accompaniment, ”Of course, it’s a true apology. Mr. Su, so many things have happened, it’s all because of my old and dim eyes, my lax discipline. For the offense, I ask for Mr. Su’s forgiveness!”

”Your eyes are indeed dim!” Su Yang said coldly, ”Over the years, do you really have no idea how much filthy money Jiu Long Garden has made?”

If it had been anyone else talking like this, Qin Haishan would have exploded in anger. But the person in front of him was Su Yang, what could he dare to say?

Qin Haishan said, ”Mr. Su is right, this matter indeed stems from my poor oversight, and I am willing to take all the responsibility!”

”Do you know why I had to cripple Qin Wankong?” Su Yang said with a cold voice.

Qin Haishan replied, ”Qin Wankong has committed many evils, he deserved his punishment!”

”You still don’t understand the reason!” Su Yang stood with his hands behind his back and said, ”Over these years, in front of you, Qin Wankong indeed seemed to be a filial son, a pillar of the family. But have you ever dared to investigate what he’s been doing behind your back?”

”Let me tell you this, in all these years, the number of people who have died at Qin Wankong’s hands is no less than fifty, if not thirty. And those indirectly harmed by Qin Wankong number not less than three hundred, if not two hundred. So many people have been driven to ruin, families torn apart, wives and children scattered. These are the deeds of your ’filial’ third son!”

”What?” Qin Haishan’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Su Yang, ”Mr. Su, are you mistaken? Wankong might be a bit greedy for money, but he... he wouldn’t be so utterly devoid of conscience. Our Qin family, we might be a bit arrogant and overbearing, but what you’re saying... It’s just impossible...”

”Everything Mr. Su said is true!”

Suddenly, a heroic voice came from a distance.

Looking up, Qin Haishan saw Nan Wudi quickly approaching. His speed was extremely fast, almost as if he were flying above the ground.

The crowd expressed their amazement, as they knew Nan Wudi was strong, but they had never seen him move like this. To walk without touching the ground, wasn’t this the ability of an immortal?

Nan Wudi quickly arrived beside Su Yang, bowed with clasped hands, ”Master Su!”

After what had happened with returning the salute, Nan Wudi’s attitude towards Su Yang became even more respectful, quickly shifting from Mr. Su to Master Su.

”Patriarch Nan!” Su Yang nodded with a faint smile, appreciating that Nan Wudi was the type who would correct his mistakes. Moreover, despite the domineering nature of the Nan Family, they had not committed any atrocious acts against Heaven and reason, which was a major reason for Su Yang’s tolerance.

As Su Yang had said, he was no saint, nor was he the Bodhisattva who alleviates suffering. However, he could not turn a blind eye to the events that unfolded before him. If he couldn’t draw his sword to aid those facing injustice, what was the use of his great abilities?

Nan Wudi turned towards Qin Haishan and said coldly, ”Old Qin, I see you truly have aged. Over the years, did you truly know nothing about the many things Qin Wankong did behind your back?”

”What exactly did he do?” Qin Haishan asked, perplexed.

Nan Wudi handed a file bag to Qin Haishan, ”This is from one of Qin Wankong’s close understudies. Take a look for yourself.”

Qin Haishan opened the file bag and after a while, his complexion turned pale.

The file detailed all of Qin Wankong’s misdeeds and charges.

Over the years, Qin Wankong had used Jiu Long Garden as a hub to amass considerable ill-gotten wealth. To curry favor with those bosses, he kept bringing in beautiful girls from all over. At first, he lured them with money, but as the demands of those bosses grew, he had no choice but to start kidnapping.

The kidnapped girls who eventually succumbed under duress and coercion were barely surviving. Others who remained defiant met a cruel fate, suffering humiliation until their tragic deaths.

A few, desperately clinging to life, managed to send messages home calling for help. But when their families came, they were silenced by Qin Wankong’s power, even pursued and systematically erased!

All these incidents were supported by photographs, timestamps, and evidence, leaving no room for Qin Haishan to disbelieve.

”How could this be? How could this be?” Qin Haishan turned ghastly pale, ”He... how could he commit such inhumane acts?”

”With evidence so conclusive, do you still not believe?” Nan Wudi retorted.

Qin Haishan heaved a deep sigh, seeming to age a decade. Holding the file bag tightly, he said through clenched teeth, ”I truly had no idea he could do such bestial deeds. Patriarch Nan, Mr. Su, this time, my Qin family is at fault. I, Qin Haishan, am willing to accept any punishment!”

Nan Wudi said nothing, simply looking to Su Yang.

Su Yang spoke indifferently, ”Qin Haishan, the person who should be punished has already been punished. Qin Wankong will spend the rest of his life bedridden; that is his punishment. However, the Qin family should also make a statement. Shouldn’t those harmed by Qin Wankong be compensated by the Qin family?”

Qin Haishan inhaled deeply and declared resolutely, ”Starting now, I, Qin Haishan, am willing to give up half of my family’s fortune to compensate the victims!”

”Ah!” The Qin family members shouted in surprise, half of the Qin family’s fortune—how much would that be? Two or three hundred billion at least? Qin Haishan’s decision, was it not too astonishing?

”Silence!” Qin Haishan shouted, and the crowd immediately fell quiet.

Qin Haishan continued, ”I know this money cannot make up for the hurt these people have suffered. It is merely an expression of the Qin family’s sincerity. Should they bear any grudges, the Qin family is still willing to accept punishment!”

Su Yang smiled, patted Qin Haishan on the shoulder, and said, ”Family Head Qin, this time, you have truly shown me your sincerity. However, I advise you, in the future, be more discerning with those you employ. As it is said, heaven watches what we do; if you could have stopped Qin Wankong earlier, you would have been reunited with your daughter by now!”
