"I'm not a ghost. Liu Qingyue is my older sister, and I'm her younger sister." Liu Qingwan spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing the guy.
Her inherent gentleness remained unchanged even at this moment.
She took out a dagger and approached Huang Shih-hao: "I don't mean anything by it, I just want to avenge my sister. However, I have never killed anyone before. The only knife I have ever handled is a fruit knife, so I may be a little clumsy. But bear with me, it will be over soon."
"No, no, please don't kill me, I beg you. I know what I did was wrong, but I really regret it now, and I know I was wrong." Huang Shih-hao pleaded, "Please give me a chance, I beg you, I really beg you."
"But...who will give my sister a chance? She was so gentle, so young, yet you tormented her to death." Liu Qingwan's tears fell uncontrollably.
Even now, she still remembers what her sister looked like the moment the body bag was opened.
The beautiful woman was tortured beyond recognition, and the culprit was this bastard, this piece of trash, right in front of her.
He showed no remorse whatsoever; his current kowtows and begs for mercy were merely out of fear of being killed.
"I didn't mean to, I didn't know it would turn out like this, otherwise I really wouldn't have hurt her. I beg you, please let me go." Huang Shih-hao was truly terrified and cried; he had never felt so desperate before.
This guy used to have a dozen or so thugs with him wherever he went, and he was also accompanied by experts.
It's not that no one has sought revenge against him, but those who have done so have always met with tragic ends.
Now that his power is gone, there is no one left to save him.
"You don't know you're wrong, you're just scared." Liu Qingwan sighed, and said softly, "How could someone like you possibly know you're wrong?"
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I beg you..." Huang Shih-hao slammed his head against the ground, making a loud thud.
He thought, how could this little girl, who didn't even have a knife, possibly kill someone?
As long as he acts pitiful enough and admits his mistakes well enough, the other party will definitely soften and let him go.
However, Liu Qingwan is no longer the same Liu Qingwan as before.
If Huang Shih-hao hadn't died, she would never have been able to escape the guilt she felt for the rest of her life.
She slowly walked forward, picked up the dagger in her hand, grabbed his hair with one hand, and slashed the dagger down Huang Shih-hao's neck.
In an instant, blood spurted out, because her strength was too weak, so the knife did not hit any vital organs.
But Huang Shih-hao felt pain in his neck, and his inner fear made him roar and struggle.
Ye Xingchen stomped on him, breaking his spine, and he finally quieted down.
Liu Qingwan gritted her teeth and pressed the dagger down hard. Blood flowed down her hand, but she was completely unaware of it.
Huang Shih-hao straightened one leg and struggled desperately on the ground, but after a while he gradually stopped moving.
Clang... The dagger in Liu Qingwan's hand fell to the ground. Her hands were covered in blood. She took a few steps back, then stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
Looking at her lifeless enemy, she suddenly burst into tears.
"Take her away," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
It takes immense courage for a girl who is completely defenseless to stab someone in the body with a knife.
Even though the person in front of her was her enemy, she needed to muster up her courage to do so.
She has already used all her strength and courage.
Gu Manyun nodded, gently helped Liu Qingwan, who was slumped on the ground, to her feet, and then left.
Xu Er was the only one left on the scene. He looked at Ye Xingchen with trembling eyes, without saying a word.
"If you have any questions or anything you want to say, just say it." Ye Xingchen smiled: "I'm not a wicked person. Although my hands are stained with blood, there's only one reason why I focus on dealing with someone: that person deserves to die."
“Huang San and his son deserve to die.” Xu Er composed himself. “I also deserve to die because I aided and abetted evil.”
“Zhang Hu deserves to die, and Wang Jun deserves to die, because as henchmen of the Huang family, they have committed countless evil deeds over the years.”
“But…” Xu Er took a deep breath and looked at Ye Xingchen: “You didn’t kill them.”
"The reason I didn't kill them is because I didn't want too many killings on my hands," Ye Xingchen said. "Zhang Hu was smart and ran away first, leaving Wang Jun with nowhere to go, so he can be used by me."
"So, Mr. Xu, what about you? Now I'll give you three choices. First, leave Jinling and go as far away as possible."
"Secondly, I will kill you."
"Third, they can be used for my purposes. After all, I am unfamiliar with Jinling, and there are many places where I can use people."
"Do you trust me?" Xu Er smiled. "After all, I've been loyal to Huang San for the past fifteen years."
"Aren't you afraid that I might stab you in the back at a crucial moment?"
"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "If you really want to deal with me, I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead."
"Besides, you have family, which is your weakness. I think unless you're desperate, you won't risk going against me. Moreover, the status and position I can give you are much greater than what Huang San can give you."
Xu Er remained silent. He then asked, "What can you give me?"
"You have everything you want: status, position, and the power to stand on your own," Ye Xingchen said. "Most importantly, you have dignity."
"Dignity?" Xu Er smiled bitterly.
He was Huang San's most trusted man, but Huang San saw himself as the superior, and in the eyes of the superior, Xu Er was always just a servant.
Dignity? He never had any. He always maintained a humble attitude towards Huang San. Although he was the one who offered advice, he actually did the work of a servant.
Sometimes, he couldn't accept dirty and tiring jobs like murder and robbery.
He was exhausted, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.
If Ye Xingchen in front of him can truly give him dignity, then going to him might be a good choice.
“That’s right, dignity,” Ye Xingchen said. “I think you know what I need, right?”
“I know. I am the general manager of Shengshi Chamber of Commerce. After Huang San’s death, I am considered an old man.” Xu Er nodded: “Ms. Gu Manyun should try to take over the territory of Shengshi Chamber of Commerce. If she can’t handle it, I will take care of it.”
"In name only, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce still exists; it's just that I'm now under your command."
"Dealing with smart people really saves a lot of time." Ye Xingchen grinned. "Mr. Xu, I'm not like Huang San."
