Deathly silence.

The men behind Li Haibao were clueless.

Su Jie, sitting on the ground, was also bewildered for quite a while.

After coming to his senses, Su Jie trembled as he spoke, "Godfather, you... what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking? It’s this Ye Xuan who broke the legs of the brothers, and you..."

Before Su Jie could finish his sentence.

Slap!

The stiff-bodied Baoye suddenly seemed unsealed, abruptly turning around and, without a word, slapped Su Jie across the face with all his might, sending Su Jie flying on the spot.

The long road stretches, accompanied by yellow soil.

Su Jie fell headfirst into the dirt mound and didn’t move for a long time.

When pain reaches its peak, a person can faint.

Immediately, everyone was stunned.

All eyes focused on the bedraggled Su Jie, each one shocked, questioning whether they were hallucinating.

What’s going on?

Did he hit the wrong person?

Before everyone could react, the raging Baoye rushed to Su Jie again, dragging him out of the dirt, and then...

Crackling sound!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Su Jie’s rather handsome face was battered into popcorn.

The entire process was inhumane, bloody and brutal.

Su Jie swung between consciousness and unconsciousness.

This cycle repeated countless times.

Finally, Baoye stopped when Su Jie regained consciousness.

Su Jie was barely alive.

His mind blank, he cried and asked Baoye, "Godfather, what... what happened?"

"What happened? You dare ask me what happened?" Baoye’s forehead veins bulged with anger, "Do you know who you provoked? Do you know that with just a word from him, not only you, but even me, my entire family, and everyone related to me would have to be buried with him!"

"What?"

Su Jie widened his eyes in shock, suffocating at that moment.

Brother-in-law.

He seemed to sincerely call out to Ye Xuan from the bottom of his heart... brother-in-law!

Fate plays tricks.

Su Jie always believed that around East Sea and Jiangzhou, few had the strength and capability of Baoye, never realizing that the uncle he repeatedly bullied lately, Su Qinian, was the father-in-law of an absolute boss!

Regret beyond words, regret beyond words!

Su Jie wished he could die.

Baoye, however, had no time to pay attention to Su Jie. After delivering a harsh lesson, he turned and ran to Ye Xuan, not wasting a single word.

Thud!

Clean and decisive, the normally imposing Baoye knelt before Ye Xuan in front of countless people, kowtowing relentlessly with no pretense whatsoever.

Until his head was smashed and bleeding!

Feeling like his head was about to explode, Baoye finally raised his bloody, flesh-torn head, looking at Ye Xuan with the humility of an ant, "Master Ye, spare my life, please!"

Ye Xuan lowered his eyes, saying nothing in response.

Baoye was stunned for a moment, then became even more flustered, continuing to kowtow without daring to speak.

Li Haibao was a ruthless man.

He knew very well that if Ye Xuan wasn’t satisfied today, the end would certainly be far more frightening than a shattered head.

To the onlookers, this scene was no less shocking than a bolt from the blue.

This was Baoye!

The renowned Baoye!

Never before had Baoye been seen so humbly crouching before someone like a dog!

The thugs often following Baoye quickly snapped back to reality after witnessing such a shocking scene. Their faces changed dramatically as they ran over to Ye Xuan, kneeling and fervently kowtowing.

It’s a joke, if they didn’t read the room as well as this, they’d be long dead on the streets!

Why Baoye suddenly acted like this was unimportant. What mattered was that since Baoye did it, they had to do the same, or death awaited!

Subsequently.

Su Jie and others dragged their broken legs, crawling up to Ye Xuan to join the head-kneeling crowd.

Thus, a bizarre spectacle unfolded.

Led by Baoye, over twenty people seemed to go mad, silently kowtowing to Ye Xuan like crazy, with their foreheads colliding hard with the ground, resembling thunder, deeply shaking everyone’s heart.

What a grand scene! How shocking!

Especially the workers following behind Su Qinian, feeling their worldview collapsing at this moment.

What kind of terrifying power and status could compel Baoye to lead such a group to this extent?

Bear in mind, for someone like Baoye, reputation was everything!

One by one, the eyes focused back on Ye Xuan, filled with awe and shock, hardly able to believe that such a young man could be so terrifying!

Baoye and others continued their relentless kowtowing.

Ye Xuan remained silent, they dared not stop.

No matter the pain, no matter the injury, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

It’s heartrending!

Reflecting on not long ago, Baoye’s high-handedness, Su Jie’s arrogance.

In contrast to now, it’s beyond absurd.

Finally.

It was Su Yumo unable to bear watching any longer, quietly coming beside Ye Xuan, softly saying, "Ye Xuan, maybe... maybe that’s enough? If they keep going, someone might die!"

Hearing Su Yumo’s plea, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Women are just too kind!

Since it involved his own factory, Ye Xuan hadn’t truly intended for anyone to die here, so he finally spoke, "Alright, everyone, stop it."

Only then did Baoye and the others dare to stop their kowtowing.

But they still could only kneel, not daring to stand.

Baoye lifted his bloodied face, gratefully looking at Ye Xuan, "Thank you, Master Ye, for your mercy, but it was my negligence that allowed Su Jie, that brat, to offend you, I can’t escape responsibility, I’m at your disposal, be it life or death, without dirtying your hands!"

"No need to put on an act for me here." Ye Xuan glanced at Baoye calmly, "As for this matter, you haven’t done anything wrong, it’s not that serious."

Baoye, as if receiving a pardon, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Baoye asked, "How should Su Jie be dealt with? He’s a nobody, not worthy of making Master Ye you take action personally. Just say the word, and I’ll take care of it for you!"

Hearing this, Su Jie’s pupils constricted, downright frightened.

Bam Bam Bam!

Without a word, Su Jie gave Ye Xuan several knocks with his head.

After that, Su Jie looked terrified, pleading, "Ye Xuan... I mean, Master Ye, brother-in-law! I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong, please don’t kill me, we’re still family no matter what!"

"Family?" Hearing the word, Su Qinian couldn’t help but curse, "Su Jie, do you still have the nerve to say family? Have you forgotten how you’ve treated me? Did you think we were family when you were extorting us just now?"

Su Jie’s face changed drastically, repeatedly kowtowing to Su Qinian, "Uncle, I was wrong, blood ties are unbreakable, no matter what, I am still your nephew!"
