Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Human Nature

Qin Tianxuan silently snapped five of the gang leader’s fingers. Then, he slammed a palm into the man’s chest, breaking three of his ribs.

WHOOSH. He opened the refrigerator, grabbed some ice cubes, and shoved them down the gang leader’s collar.

The man screamed and his eyes shot open.

Qin Tianxuan leaned over him. ”I ask, you answer. No bullshit. Otherwise, I’ll crush every bone in your body, one by one. You should know I’m not a patient man.”

As he spoke, he raised a hand and tore the gang leader’s right ear halfway off.

Blood covered the side of the gang leader’s head, his neck, and his shoulder.

He screamed, slamming his head against the floor with loud THUDS. ”I’ll... I’ll... I’ll tell you everything.”

Qin Tianxuan asked, ”The location of the Black Dragon Bank headquarters?”

”No. 13, Sword River Road... It’s two villas. Old Master Jin Longhai lives in Villa 1, and his nine adopted sons live in Villa 2...”

Qin Tianxuan continued his questions.

The gang leader answered quickly, his responses both swift and concise.

Once he had the information he needed, Qin Tianxuan turned away.

Across from him, Ye Xuanxuan was so terrified she kept backing away, nearly knocking over a medicine cabinet.

”Get a basin of water. I need to wash my hands,” Qin Tianxuan said, his expression unchanged.

Ye Xuanxuan, her legs weak, brought the water and set it down a good distance away.

Qin Tianxuan washed his hands, dried them, then lifted his foot and kicked the unconscious gang leader out of the main hall.

The man tumbled and rolled all the way out the main gate.

Someone outside immediately dragged him away.

Qin Tianxuan sat down in the room and pointed to the spot in front of him. ”Old Man Gu, get over here!”

Old Man Gu struggled with all his might, but in the end, he could only crawl over.

Qin Tianxuan looked at him. ”After I find Gu Qingzhi, I will take her with me. From that point on, she will no longer be a member of the Gu Family. Do you have a problem with that?”

Old Man Gu shook his head frantically.

’How could he dare have a problem with it!’

Qin Tianxuan nodded. ”I will handle the matter of your Gu Family’s counterfeit medicine. However, from this day forward, you and Gu Yingying are forbidden from practicing medicine or selling remedies. Any objections?”

Old Man Gu shook his head frantically.

”Very good.” Qin Tianxuan tossed the towel aside, rose to his feet, and said to Ye Xuanxuan, ”We’re leaving.”

Ye Xuanxuan shook her head frantically.

Qin Tianxuan gave her a long, hard look. ”I said, come with me.”

Five words, devoid of any emotion.

Limping with every step, Ye Xuanxuan followed behind the man. In that moment, she suddenly understood something.

’The only reason I’m still alive is because I’m Ye Shuanghua’s sister!’

A chill ran through her as she thought about her past attitude toward him.

”Ye Xuanxuan...”

”Ah! I’m here! Brother Qin, what... what can I do for you?” Ye Xuanxuan’s voice trembled, her tone now utterly respectful.

Qin Tianxuan stopped walking. ”Find a car and go back to your hotel. Don’t leave your room before dawn.”

As if granted a full pardon, Ye Xuanxuan nodded frantically.

Qin Tianxuan turned to look at her. ”I just found out that the Black Dragon Bank has close ties to your Divine Doctor Ye Family. So tonight, when I annihilate the Black Dragon, I’ll also take the opportunity to clean up the Ye Family’s trash here in Jinling. I’m sending you back to protect you. Understand?”

Ye Xuanxuan nodded numbly. ”I... I understand.”

”You don’t understand!” Qin Tianxuan reached out, took her phone, and crushed it in his hand. ”What I mean is, you are not to tip off the Ye Family. Go back to your hotel, go to sleep, and do not make any phone calls!”

Ye Xuanxuan’s gaze trembled. ”Can... can you spare the people of our Ye Family?”

In the darkness, a flicker of sorrow crossed Qin Tianxuan’s face. ”I’m just sending them underground to atone for their sins to the deceased Shuanghua. Your sister... she was killed by the combined efforts of the Qin Family and the Ye Family.”

Ye Xuanxuan stood in the wind, watching his back disappear into the distance. She nearly collapsed to the ground.

She may have been spoiled and willful, but she wasn’t a fool.

For the first time, she felt a profound sense of pessimism for the fate of the Divine Doctor Ye Family.

’Having angered this devil of a man, is the Ye Family truly finished?’

Ye Xuanxuan returned to her hotel in a daze. Conflicted and hesitant, she finally gritted her teeth and picked up the landline phone.

’As a daughter of the Ye Family, how can I just stand by and watch my family suffer?’

But before she could dial, the phone line was snipped.

Two female guards from the Night Emperor Intelligence Hall appeared out of nowhere. They coldly cut the phone line and restrained Ye Xuanxuan.

One of them made a call. ”Reporting to the Master, Ye Xuanxuan tried to call and warn them after all. How should we proceed?”

Qin Tianxuan’s calm voice came through the phone. ”As a daughter of the Ye Family, it’s only human nature. I understand. Don’t harm her. Keep her confined, supply her with three meals a day, and forbid her from taking even a single step out of that hotel room.”

The call ended. The presidential suite was instantly secured.

Ye Xuanxuan collapsed limply onto the king-sized bed, tears streaming down her face.

At that moment, Qin Tianxuan had already appeared at No. 13, Jianhe Road, in Jinling.

The stronghold of the Black Dragon Bank!

It was hidden within a villa district in the middle of the bustling city.

Ahead were two villas, designated No. 1 and No. 2.

The two villas were surrounded by an iron fence, with cameras and surveillance equipment everywhere.

Outside the gate, a full team of security guards patrolled in shifts, while numerous hidden sentries were posted within.

Jin Longhai was a ruthless tycoon, and he was extremely concerned about his own safety. He had spent a fortune hiring a team of professional bodyguards and had even brought in several combat instructors from overseas to train his underlings.

At this very moment, Jin Longhai was in Villa No. 1, holding a meeting.

His nine adopted sons sat across from him, along with the subordinates in charge of the company’s finances and legal affairs.

”The Chu Family must be destroyed! And the task the Ye Family assigned to me must be completed as soon as possible!”

Jin Longhai, dressed in gold-threaded silk pajamas, reached out to stroke the pale flesh of the mistress beside him, his eyes savage. ”Years ago, in the Imperial Capital, I took a fancy to that Chu Xinyue, but I was humiliated on the spot! That was the greatest shame of my life!”

At this, he shot to his feet, startling the mistress beside him.

Jin Longhai’s face was twisted with rage. ”I’ve already told those Chu Family wastes! I’ve been swallowing this insult for decades, and I can’t hold it in any longer! Even if Chu Xinyue is dead, I’ll dig up her ashes and piss on them!”

He was still bellowing when, suddenly, a loud CRASH echoed from outside.

The head of the villa’s security team was kicked through the air like a soccer ball, smashing through the large window and landing with a THUD right on top of Jin Longhai.
