"You? Totally oblivious to the heights of heaven and the depths of earth!" Ji Liqun snorted coldly.
"Back then, the Chen Family only had two martial artists and they massacred the Li Family. Today, your death is certain."
"What?! Over a hundred members of the Li Family were slaughtered overnight years ago, and it was done by martial artists?" someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.
"Medical grandmasters might be good at healing, but when it comes to killing, they're in a completely different league from martial artists!"
The crowd buzzed with discussions.
Those who were initially hesitant now swiftly distanced themselves from Su Yi, eager to draw a clear line, treating him as if he were a plague.
Ji Liqun was quite pleased with the panic he had instigated and smiled slyly at Su Yi.
He wanted to not only kill Su Yi but also to have him die isolated and without support.
Someone in the crowd spoke up, "Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty? Kneeling down and begging the Chen Family would be your only way out. With your status as a medical grandmaster, the Chen Family will surely forgive you."
Another voice added, "Serving the Chen Family is your honor; don't be ungrateful."
These people had clearly sided with Ji Liqun.
Ji Liqun watched the unfolding drama with amusement, feeling extremely satisfied.
Su Yi was unconcerned, "Even if he calls over the people from the Chen Family today, they are no match for me."
"Hahaha, what arrogance," Ji Liqun mocked as he found a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs, "I'd like to see what this so-called 'match for me' looks like."
With that, Ji Liqun took out his cell phone and dialed the Chen Family's number.
Ji Liqun was actually calling Chen Longtang, the Family Head of the Chen Family!
Ji Liqun, brimming with smugness, turned on the speakerphone.
"What's the matter?" Chen Longtang's stern voice came through.
"You see, Uncle Chen, I heard about a clown named Su Yi who has offended you. Today, I've got him surrounded at the Xiyun Hotel. Come with your men, and I'll make sure he's dealt with," Ji Liqun said, his face full of obsequious smiles.
After hanging up, Ji Liqun smiled insidiously, confident of his victory.
"Quick, while they are not here yet, let's go!" Wu Hongwei urged Su Yi urgently.
"Let's see who the hell dares to move!" Ji Liqun stood his ground and addressed the crowd, "The Chen Family will send someone soon. If anyone here lets these two go, and the Chen Family places blame, I'd like to see who can bear it!"
Immediately, the people became tense, and Ji Liqun shouted, "Nobody is leaving today!"
Then someone else stepped forward, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Su, you should probably wait a while longer. Otherwise, the rest of us can't justify it."
"Yes, yes, everyone needs to earn a living, right? What will we do if the blame falls on us?"
"Mr. Wu, please just bear with it for a moment. Maybe the Chen Family will show mercy and let you go," added another.
The crowd clamored, effectively isolating Wu Hongwei and Su Yi.
The words fell on Wu Hongwei's ears like needles, chilling him to the bone.
"Damn it! I've raised a bunch of beasts!" Wu Hongwei clutched his chest, so angry he could hardly speak.
Su Yi looked indifferently at the person before him. The good and evil of human nature were not worth mentioning in the face of turmoil; compared to this rabble, he valued Wu Hongwei's sincerity and loyalty much more.
Wu Hongwei's eyes were dim with sorrow. He was heartbroken that Yin Rentang had produced a degenerate, and even more grieved that he hadn't been able to protect his brothers.
In the entire room, Ji Liqun was feeling extremely inflated. The sensation of slowly nibbling away at an opponent's strength and then forcing them into a desperate situation was just too exhilarating.
Ji Liqun glanced at Su Yi with disdain, "Kid, what are you dazed for? If you come over now and kneel to beg your 'Great Master Ji', I might consider saying a few good words for you in front of the Chen Family, so you can keep a whole corpse!"
"You really have no fucking shame!" Wu Hongwei was furious, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go forward and beat Ji Liqun, but Su Yi pulled him back.
"What's the matter? Got cold feet? Go ahead, keep jumping around! Otherwise, you won't have the chance in a bit!" Ji Liqun burst into loud laughter, believing that soon Su Yi would be kneeling on the ground begging for mercy before him.
"I was still thinking just now how to deal with the Chen Family..." Su Yi spoke calmly as he walked towards Ji Liqun, "Now it seems, before cleaning up the Chen Family, someone needs a bit of a lesson."
Watching Su Yi slowly approaching, Ji Liqun couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy, and asked loudly, "You! What are you going to do?!"
Su Yi walked to the door, locked it gently, and sighed.
"You said it yourself, today, no one is going to leave!"
"You! If you come any closer, if you dare to touch me, when the Chen Family arrives, I won't let you off!" Ji Liqun backed away, his heart beginning to tremble.
"We had no conflict to begin with," Su Yi said slowly. "Foolish thing, you dare to put on airs before me even before the Chen Family arrives."
Su Yi snorted coldly and grabbed one of Ji Liqun's hands, "Was this the hand you used to try to hit me just now?"
Ji Liqun, in fear, tried to break free, but to his horror, he found that no matter how hard he struggled, his palm was clamped down by a strange force, immovable.
With a gentle grip on the hand, in the face of Ji Liqun's terror-stricken eyes, Su Yi slowly exerted pressure.
"Ah——!!!"
A mournful scream echoed throughout the private room.
The people inside couldn't help but shiver at such a ghastly sound.
Most of the people in the room were doctors and could easily deduce what Su Yi had done.
Su Yi had actually crushed Ji Liqun's palm bones!
Su Yi let go of the hand, allowing Ji Liqun to howl and roll on the ground in pain.
He looked indifferently at Ji Liqun, flipped his hand, and a thin blade appeared in his grasp.
Su Yi squatted down, placed the blade against Ji Liqun's mouth, and said coldly, "Were you running your mouth just now?"
Amidst excruciating pain, Ji Liqun was petrified, and those around him were also in turmoil.
By this show of force, Su Yi seemed set on cutting off Ji Liqun's tongue!
"No! Don't! I was wrong, please I beg you, let me go. I'll call the Chen Family right now to stop them from coming, please just let me go!"
Ji Liqun was scared out of his wits, collapsed on the ground begging for mercy incessantly.
Just as Su Yi was about to extend the blade coldly towards Ji Liqun, the door was suddenly smashed open, and a loud shout interrupted his action.
"Su Yi! Your end has come!!"
