Old Fourth turned his face sideways and told the two people behind him, "Go home first," before immediately engaging in a fight with the bodyguards. Although he didn't draw his blade because Zhao Yanan and Zhou Xiaoruo were present, his fists and kicks were still incredibly fierce. With his first strike, he knocked out a tall bodyguard with a single punch. Following that, he executed a stylish spinning kick that sent another slimmer bodyguard flying three or four meters away!
Zhou Xiaoruo, ignoring the pain in her face, watched with starry eyes and couldn't look away. "Go for it, Oppa! Beat them up! You're the best!"
Old Fourth: … This girl must be a bit crazy!
"Go home first!"
"Oh... Oppa! Keep it up and be careful!" Zhou Xiaoruo wiped the blood from her mouth, turned to look at Zhao Yanan, who was slowly recovering but still trembling, and said with concern, "Nanan, let's go home first. I think he seems quite capable..."
Zhao Yanan, shivering, nodded and hurried towards the elevator.
Once inside the elevator, Old Fourth finally released his full power and soon had the remaining bodyguards lying incapacitated on the ground.
Ye Tianyi was astonished; he hadn't expected someone to come out of nowhere like a hero.
He hurried back to his car, started the engine, and tried to flee. However, it was already too late—Old Fourth took a running start, flipped over the top of the Q7, and landed beside the driver's side. With a single punch, he smashed through the window, grabbed Ye Tianyi by the head, dragged him out, and threw him to the ground, delivering a series of heavy blows that knocked him out.
To prevent any accidents, Old Fourth removed Ye Tianyi's belt and used it to bind him before calling Chu Yuxuan.
On the other end of the line, Chu Yuxuan, upon hearing the news, immediately changed clothes and left.
Xiao Qing had no idea where he was going but sensed that her master seemed very angry. While tidying up the coffee table, she intended to wash Chu Yuxuan's white porcelain teacup and was shocked to find several cracks on it. She recalled that Chu Yuxuan had been holding that cup when he answered the phone earlier.
About forty minutes later, a silver-gray GTR roared into Zhao Yanan's underground garage. Chu Yuxuan got out of the car and, with a grim expression, glanced at Ye Tianyi, who was beaten to a pulp by Old Fourth. He then walked to the trunk, pulled out the large hammer that had seen "bloodshed" before, and dragged it across the floor as he strode forward.
The garage was dimly lit and quiet due to it being the weekend, with no one else in sight. The sound of the hammer scraping against the ground was jarring, creating sparks and filling the air with a murderous aura from Chu Yuxuan.
Ye Tianyi was terrified, trembling violently. "Chu Yuxuan, what, what are you going to do?! I'll tell you, my dad has connections all over Jiangcheng. Don't think that just because he's been caught, no one will take care of me! If you dare to touch me, try it!"
Before he could finish, Chu Yuxuan was already standing in front of him. Without a word, he swung the hammer and struck Ye Tianyi's left knee! "Ah!"
The sound of the hammer hitting bone and Ye Tianyi's pig-like screams filled the garage, causing the motion-activated lights to brighten up the space.
"Chu, Chu Yuxuan! If you dare touch me again—"
Before he could finish, the hammer hit his other knee!
"Ah!"
The excruciating pain almost made Ye Tianyi lose consciousness.
"Chu, Chu Yuxuan… please, please stop."
Chu Yuxuan tightened his grip on the hammer, making the joints crack ominously, and remained silent as he prepared to smash the hammer into Ye Tianyi's chest.
Just then, a bright car headlight illuminated Chu Yuxuan. He turned to see an SUV speeding toward him and soon stopping in front of him. It was a Cullinan.
Chu Yuxuan frowned. He recognized the vehicle—belonging to Chu Haoran.
Chu Haoran, the eldest son and grandson of the Chu family, got out of the car. He glanced at the moaning Ye Tianyi on the ground and then at Chu Yuxuan with an elegant smile, very formal. "Yuxuan, I have a small request. Could you hand over Ye Tianyi to me?"
At the same time, a young man in his mid-twenties, with a short haircut, dressed in a blue casual suit, and about 175 cm tall, got out from the passenger seat of the Cullinan and stood beside Chu Haoran.
Chu Yuxuan glanced at the short-haired man and then glared at Chu Haoran. "Elder brother, how did you know Ye Tianyi was here? Were you monitoring me all along?!"
Chu Haoran remained unperturbed. "Don't misunderstand. I was just tracking down Ye Tianyi's whereabouts and ended up here… Yuxuan, four years ago, this Ye guy caused a minor issue for me. I'm sure you know about it. So, I'm asking you to give him to me as a favor."
Ye Tianyi, trembling with fear, looked between the two brothers, feeling a deeper layer of dread. Imagine, with both legs broken, now there were two people arguing over who gets to kill him. Chu Yuxuan pressed his tongue against his molars, coldly said, "What if I refuse?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the short-haired man stepped forward, and at the same time, Old Fourth moved to stand in front of Chu Yuxuan, locking eyes with the short-haired man. The two were about two meters apart, each exuding a strong murderous aura, as if ready to clash.
"Cui Zhe, what are you doing? This is my younger brother!" Chu Haoran glared at the short-haired man, then turned to Chu Yuxuan, his tone softening. "Yuxuan, don't take it the wrong way… I know Ye Tianyi provoked you recently. He came here today to cause trouble for my brother-in-law. You definitely don't want him to have an easy time. Here's the deal—I promise I'll make him regret being born. We're on the same side in this matter, so let me handle it."
Chu Yuxuan remained silent.
Chu Haoran continued, "On the way here, I already informed my uncle... Yuxuan, do me a personal favor, and I'll repay you."
Chu Yuxuan pondered for a while and finally agreed, "Fine, you have a deep grudge. You can take him away."
"Thank you." Chu Haoran maintained a refined demeanor throughout.
Half an hour later, Ye Tianyi was taken to a meat processing plant. Seeing the various machines used for grinding meat, the young master was terrified beyond belief!
At this moment, he only had one wish—to die quickly!
But with both legs destroyed, even slamming his head against a wall was a hopeless fantasy. Chu Haoran had the meat grinder turned on and looked at Ye Tianyi. "Ye Tianyi, do you know what you cost me four years ago with your drunken rage?"
Ye Tianyi trembled uncontrollably and did not respond.
"Back then, my father was already considering promoting me to handle things on my own, and he was even preparing to make me the CEO of the Chu family's headquarters… Ha, because of your drunken stunt, I had to take several more detours. Now that Yuxuan is back, my path has become even narrower. Tell me, how should you die to make up for it?"
Ye Tianyi was in the depths of despair and suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Chu Haoran! You're just a coward! Hahaha! A coward who once made me kneel!"
The last bit of defiance from a dying man.
Chu Haoran remained calm and inexplicably said, "Do you keep pets? I have a shark, but its teeth aren't very good. I'm worried it might not be able to chew through your legs... so don't be afraid. I'll only grind your lower half. The shark prefers live prey... the upper half, it can handle."
With that, he looked at the short-haired man. "Turn the machine to the slowest speed."
