Chapter 170: The Execution of Pei Qinghu by Firearm!

Hearing this, Pei Huaide was utterly terrified.

If he were blacklisted and permanently demoted because of this, he would become a perpetual sinner of his family!

"Huang Yuanxiang, how dare you?!"

Glaring at him, he roared, "My Pei family is a dignified first-rate family, and we have plutocrat families backing us up."

"Even if we have successively lost the protection of the Luo and Bei families, there are still people in the provincial capital..."

"I don't believe a word of what you're saying, but even if it's true, so what?"

Before he could finish, Ye Wushang coldly interrupted. Glancing at Fu Fei, he said indifferently, "Chief Fu, I don't wish to pursue the matter of you and Pei Huaide colluding for personal gain too deeply."

"However, the agreement that the Pei family signed publicly cannot be fulfilled now. Just like what you and your men did to me earlier, doesn't this constitute commercial fraud?"

"Now that Chairman Huang has made the decision to expel the Pei family from the family ranks,"

"As the deputy chief of the Public Security Bureau, shouldn't you arrest him and take him back for a thorough interrogation?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Fei's body trembled, his expression darkening to the extreme.

He had indeed accepted a substantial amount of money from Pei Huaide. Logically speaking, since he took the money, he ought to help resolve the disaster.

Yet now, as the saying goes, one must bow when under someone else's roof.

The other party held the moral high ground, backed by the An and Lan families as well as Chairman Huang.

Even the formidable young master Bei had already left; what use was he, a mere official of the Public Security Bureau?

One's arm cannot twist a thigh!

"Men."

"Arrest Pei Huaide for me."

"Not only for commercial fraud, but also for gathering a crowd to disturb public order."

"If anyone dares to resist, handle it as obstruction of justice, and deal with it strictly according to the law!"

With that, Fu Fei pulled several bank cards and a checkbook straight out of his handbag and slammed them heavily onto the ground!

"You still wanted to bribe me?"

"I, Fu Fei, walk upright and sit straight; I would never violate my principles for money."

"I don't care for your dirty money!"

Taking a closer look, the bank cards were all VIP cards from the four major banks, requiring at least tens of millions to open an account.

As for the check, it was for a staggering fifty million. Combined, the total sum probably exceeded one hundred million.

This clearly showed that Pei Huaide had spared no expense for today's affair!

However, human calculations cannot surpass heaven's will; no matter how meticulously he had schemed, they were all dismantled one by one by Ye Wushang!

"Yes, Deputy Chief."

At this moment, hearing the order, the surrounding officers were reluctant, but compelled by the circumstances, they could only bite the bullet.

They stepped forward one after another to make the arrest.

Realizing that threats were completely useless, Pei Huaide panicked entirely.

He knew very well that if anyone truly dug deep, the misdeeds on his own hands were far too numerous to withstand scrutiny.

His top priority was simply saving his life.

Abandoning all shame and pride, he instantly dropped to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Wushang and pleading, "Ye Wushang—no, Master Ye, I beg you."

"Please don't have me taken to the Public Security Bureau. I was wrong, please spare me."

"As long as you don't make things difficult for me, I swear the Pei family will never go against you again."

He wept bitterly and heart-rendingly.

Who could have imagined that the once arrogant and almighty successor of the Pei family, President Pei, would now be reduced to kneeling and begging desperately for mercy?

Although it looked somewhat pathetic, not a single person present felt any sympathy for him.

Reaching such a state was entirely of his own making, and he had no one else to blame.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think..."

Seeing Pei Huaide kneeling and pleading, and unwilling to push matters to absolute extremes, Fu Fei turned his inquiring gaze to Ye Wushang.

Yet Ye Wushang's expression remained cold and indifferent as he said, "What are you looking at?"

"The law is right here, and the eyes of the public are discerning. Could it be that Deputy Chief Fu still intends to harbor a criminal?"

"Since he has broken the law, he should naturally be sanctioned by the law. If you don't take action, it might be difficult to explain things to Chairman Jiang."

Fu Fei's gaze sharpened.

Noticing that the hundreds of subordinates from the Black Dragon Society were beginning to stir restlessly again, he dared not delay any longer and immediately barked, "What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and arrest Pei Huaide, and take him back to the Public Security Bureau."

"Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, no visitors are allowed, and bail is denied."

"Anyone who dares pull strings through the backdoor or ask for favors will find me, Fu Fei, the first to refuse!"

Shortly after, several officers seized Pei Huaide. No matter how loudly he wept and begged, it was completely in vain.

Just as he was about to be dragged away, Pei Qinghu refused to accept this outcome. He immediately stepped forward to block them and roared, "Don't you dare touch my father!"

"Even if my father committed monstrous crimes, it is not your place to point fingers here. Let him go this instant!"

"If you don't let him go, don't blame me for being unpolite..."

"Get lost!"

An officer shoved him rudely aside.

Refusing to resign himself to defeat, Pei Qinghu reached out to grab them again. Amidst the struggle, with a crisp "bang," a bullet struck squarely between Pei Qinghu's eyebrows.

Before he could even let out a scream, he crashed to the ground. Right up until his dying breath, his eyes remained wide open, utterly unable to believe that he would actually die at the hands of Ye Wushang!

"My son!"

Seeing his son killed before his eyes, Pei Huaide let out a heart-rending cry. Glaring at Ye Wushang, he roared, "Ye Wushang, you bastard, how dare you kill my son?"

"I won't let you off! I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Struggling violently, Pei Huaide tried to charge forward, but was firmly held back by two officers.

Ye Wushang blew the wisps of white smoke from the muzzle of the gun, tucked it back into Fu Fei's holster, and glanced indifferently at Pei Huaide. "Deputy Chief Fu made it clear just now: anyone who dares to obstruct is openly defying the law, and the consequence of defying the law is being executed on the spot. I have eliminated a public hazard on behalf of the Public Security Bureau. There should be nothing wrong with that, right?"

With those words, he looked around.

The crowd stood dumbfounded, completely in disbelief.

Who could have imagined that Ye Wushang would be this ruthless, killing someone on the spot without the slightest hesitation?

Although his words made sense and Pei Qinghu was indeed in the wrong first, there was surely no need to go this far.

Previously, they only thought he possessed some capability, but looking at him now, he was cold-blooded and terrifyingly cruel!

"This good-for-nothing—did, did he actually dare to kill someone?"

Lan Ruoshuang swallowed hard and took a step back.

Zhao Xiue turned pale with fright, muttering under her breath, "In the past, all he knew was how to do laundry and cook. Ever since the divorce, he has actually dared to take a life."

"You truly cannot judge a person's heart by their face. Fortunately, Ruoxue divorced him; otherwise, if he ever went truly mad, none of our lives would be safe."

Compared to her younger sister's and mother's mockery and lingering fear, Lan Ruoxue held a completely different perspective.

Although killing was wrong, it was ultimately Pei Qinghu's own fault.

To be honest, the father and son of the Pei family had been overwhelmingly aggressive, and seeing them fall to this state was deeply satisfying.

Yet all of this had been accomplished purely by Ye Wushang's own efforts.

A sudden curiosity welled up within her.

During the three years they were married, had Ye Wushang deliberately concealed his true capabilities, or had he encountered some miraculous fortune after their divorce?

Previously, she merely suspected him of infidelity during their marriage and wanted to investigate.

Now, she suspected him of intentionally hiding his true self and longed to uncover the truth.

Coupled with the memory of him needing medicinal baths, she grew firmly resolved to figure out the whole story from beginning to end.

"Deputy Chief Fu, since I shot and killed Pei Qinghu, shouldn't I also be taken to the Public Security Bureau for questioning?"

Killing a man as easily as slaughtering a chicken, Ye Wushang showed not the slightest emotional fluctuation regarding Pei Qinghu's death.

Turning back to look at the stunned Fu Fei, he held out both wrists as if waiting for handcuffs to be placed on them.

Fu Fei waved his hands frantically, squeezing out a stiff smile. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

"Mr. Ye is fond of joking. Just now, Pei Qinghu was struggling violently with our officers and even attempted to draw a gun to kill."

"Thanks to your timely intervention, goodness knows what might have happened otherwise. Not only are you innocent, but you've rendered a great service."

"Fu Fei, you bastard!"

Hearing this, Pei Huaide became even more hysterical. "This useless piece of trash killed my son, and you're actually saying he killed him well?"

"I won't let you off! I won't let any of you off!"

"I'm going to kill you all to avenge my son..."

"Take him away!"

Too lazy to waste any more breath on him, Fu Fei directly ordered his men to drag him away.

He knew very well that the Pei family was completely finished.

He had no personal grudges with Ye Wushang, and this young man possessed both formidable abilities and profound backing.

Going against him would yield no pleasant rewards whatsoever.

"Mr. Ye, I shall take my leave then."

"Please forgive any offense given today. If there is ever anything this younger brother can assist you with, just give the word."

With that, he waved his hand and led his team of officers away swiftly!

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Instantly, the venue erupted into a wave of enthusiastic, rolling applause.

The gathered citizens, corporate clients, and even the media reporters specifically invited by the Pei family to humiliate the An and Lan families—

Having completely shed their previous sneers and ridicule, they now turned utterly flattering and obsequious.

"I said so all along! The Lan Group is a listed company after all; how could they possibly go back on their word?"

"The key point is the investment from the An family, which is a premier heavyweight enterprise here in Jinghan. Combining their strengths, they certainly won't let the public down."

"All of this is thanks to Mr. Ye. Although young, he possesses extraordinary capability and a formidable background. With him as supervisor, I am certain the An and Lan families will flourish smoothly. Truly an exceptionally rare talent of our generation!"

"Mr. Ye, we leave everything in your hands from now on."

Voices overlapped in endless praise and flattery.

Ye Wushang was long accustomed to such opportunism.

Offering a brief, perfunctory exchange of pleasantries, he took a deep breath and instructed, "Ladies and gentlemen, our new medicine is limited in quantity—first come, first served."

"Please go ahead and collect your medicine first. Once everyone has received theirs, we will begin mass production, and it will soon be available for purchase at all major outlets."

Hearing this, Lan Ruoxue caught on immediately. She directed the staff from the marketing and sales departments to organize the citizens into an orderly queue to receive the medicine.

Meanwhile, the scene was being live-streamed online, and more orders poured in from other viewers. In less than half an hour, the order volume reached two hundred thousand!

The total order value exceeded fifty million, far surpassing all expected outcomes!
