Huang San looked dazed, having long lost the imposing aura he once possessed as a leader.
Now that things have come to this, what other option does he have but to accept his fate?
"Huang San, do you have someone backing you?" Ye Xingchen asked. "If you don't, I'm going to send you and your son on your way."
"Wait." Huang San raised his head and said through gritted teeth, "Ye Xingchen, I can die, but you have to let me die knowing why."
"Go ahead and tell me, what do you want to know?" Ye Xingchen nodded; Huang San's request wasn't unreasonable.
He was already a dying man, and before he died he wanted some sweet things, so let's satisfy his curiosity, otherwise this guy might die with regrets.
"Are you... sent by higher-ups to target the Liang family?" Huang San asked.
This is what troubles him the most. If it really is because the people of Yanjing dislike the Liang family and it affects him, then he has nothing to say.
But if Ye Xingchen's actions were truly personal, then he will die with regrets.
"Yes and no," Ye Xingchen said.
"What do you mean?" Huang San asked, bewildered.
"Yes, it is because my actions were tacitly approved by those above," Ye Xingchen said. "The division of power in Jinling is clear, and even in ten years, there will be no chaos of fighting each other for territory. If those above do not want to see turmoil, my actions will be prevented."
"But no one stopped me from doing this, which can only mean one thing: the Liang family's actions have reached an intolerable point, so Nanjing must change hands."
"Then why did you come to Jinling?" Huang San practically shouted.
This was the question that concerned him most: he didn't know why Ye Xingchen had come to Jinling.
This place is peaceful and quiet, so what is this kid doing here? He's only been here a few days, and he's already driven himself to a dead end. What exactly is he trying to do?
"I have a score to settle with the Liang family." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "This grudge cannot be resolved through mediation, and I must go through the Liang family to resolve it."
"If you want to take action against the Liang family, you naturally have to deal with their small fry first. As the Liang family's dog, you, Huang San, are naturally the first one."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand." Huang San laughed heartily, but his laughter was somewhat desolate: "It's fate, it's destiny, I, Huang San."
Huang San's voice was mournful. In fact, he had no choice but to admit it now. He felt that he had made all the necessary preparations, but in Ye Xingchen's eyes, all of these preparations were nothing.
The deaths of the three elders of the Xu family, in particular, almost made Huang San lose all hope.
"But I have one request," Huang San said sadly.
"If you want me to let your son go, then you'd better give up on that idea now. There's no way I'll let that bastard get away with it," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"You..." Huang San said with grief and indignation, "I only have one son. Do you want to make me childless and without descendants?"
"You only have one son? You should be glad you only have one son. If you had more sons, your sins would be even more serious." Ye Xingchen said coldly, "Because of your favoritism towards your son, how many people have you harmed? It is not unjust for you, Huang San, to be childless and without descendants."
Huang San trembled all over, but there was nothing he could do.
"Dad... save me, Dad! I don't want to die! I promise I won't cause any more trouble! Please save me..." Huang Shih-hao cried, begging his father to save him.
As long as he can live, that's all that matters. Whether his father lives or dies is no longer important.
He turned his head and said, "Ye Xingchen, the reason I dare to be so arrogant is all because my dad is backing me up."
"He spoiled me. All the blame lies with him. Please kill him and let me go, okay?"
Ye Xingchen was speechless. What a loving father and filial son!
Huang San's expression changed drastically; in that instant, his heart turned cold.
This is the son he has raised, doted on, and loved for over twenty years.
Haha, in a life-or-death situation, this is how he treats his own father.
"Good, very good indeed." A bitter smile appeared on Huang San's face: "I, Huang San, never imagined that I would give birth to such an ungrateful child."
"Hehe, good, very good. Ye Xingchen, you can have his life." Huang San took out a pistol and cocked it with a click.
"We, father and son, will walk together on the road to the Yellow Springs."
He put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Boom... The bullet came out from the back of his head, and then his body fell straight to the ground.
"My dad is dead, he's dead! He was the real boss of the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce!" Huang Shihao was both shocked and delighted. He pointed at Huang San's corpse and said, "Ye Xingchen, you've achieved your goal. Huang San is dead, and the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce will be disbanded. Let me go."
"I pose no threat to you, really no threat whatsoever. Please, let me go."
"What's the point of living in this world if we let you go, you piece of trash?" Ye Xingchen shook his head and turned to Qingwan, saying, "Qingwan, it's your turn."
A figure flashed, and Liu Qingwan stepped out.
"Ah... a ghost, a ghost!" Huang Shihao was so scared when he saw Liu Qingwan that he wet himself. He trembled and kept backing away, his face full of terror.
Liu Qingwan and her sister look somewhat alike, especially since she was wearing the same clothes as Liu Qingyue on the night she was murdered.
In his mental lapse, Huang Shih-hao mistook her for Liu Qing-yue. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and his crotch instantly became wet.
"Ghost, ghost... Please save me, Brother Xu, save me!" Huang Shihao pressed one hand on the ground with difficulty, moving forward step by step.
Xu Er took a step back, preventing the guy's hand from grabbing him, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.
He was willing to be loyal to Huang San because, although Huang San was not a good person, he was indeed a remarkable individual.
But he couldn't understand how someone like Huang San could have given birth to such a good-for-nothing as Xu Shihao. No, calling this guy a good-for-nothing was an insult to the word.
If it weren't for Huang San protecting him, this bastard would probably have been killed countless times already.
Ye Xingchen kicked casually, and a pebble flew forward, cracking as it shattered Huang Shihao's leg.
He lay on the ground, struggling to crawl forward, but with a broken leg, a missing hand, and his body weakened by alcohol and sex, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward another step.
"Go ahead." Ye Xingchen gestured to Liu Qingwan, indicating that she could go forward and take revenge.
Liu Qingwan nodded slowly. She took out a dagger and then walked forward quietly.
Huang Shih-hao rolled over, wailing and begging for mercy, hoping Liu Qing-wan would let him go.
