Inside the factory.
"Ouch...ouch...it hurts so much...I'm going to die..."
"What should I do...? Who can save me?"
"Master Shou...Master Shou...Are you still alive...?"
The Qin family members were in a terrible state, their bodies twisted and contorted in indescribable pain from the whipping.
Qin Shouye: "Alive..."
"Master Shouye! Do you think they were sent by Qin Jiang...?"
"There's no way it could be fake, I think it definitely is."
"We just offended him and now we've been arrested here. They even say we messed with the wrong person? Is that even true..."
"But how dare he..."
Qin Shouye: "Shut up! Don't you know the specifics? Let's listen to what's going on outside first."
Whoosh...
Everyone shut up and stopped talking.
Everyone listened intently to the sounds outside. The factory was well soundproofed, but the three Lang brothers were a bit louder because they were angry about Xinjiang's rejection.
They heard something vague:
Qinjiang...
Arrogant!
They have the man in their hands!
...
Words such as "etc."
This further confirmed that these people were sent by Qin Jiang, making their already fearful hearts even more panicked.
What should we do?
Waaaaah...
Someone burst into tears: "I told you Qin Jiang wasn't someone to mess with! We shouldn't have been so confrontational with him! He's a gangster, what wouldn't he do... Now look what happened... I don't want to die... I don't want to be drowned..."
The others were also moved to tears by his crying, and they all regretted their arrogance.
Some even suggested:
"Why don't we apologize to Qin Jiang...and submit...I really don't want to be whipped anymore..."
"We're all family, let's apologize to him... then he shouldn't hit us anymore..."
"Please beg him... just tell him we won't dare to do it again..."
.....
"Shut up, all of you!" Qin Shouye said angrily, his face full of disappointment. "You're already giving in to others after such a small thing? It's just a whipping, what happened? Where's the backbone of the Qin Family Village? Back then, your patriarch and I fought for the family, battling all over the country. When you were your age, we fought tooth and nail for a well, not even flinching when knives slashed our bodies..."
He raised his little finger.
There was a missing joint on it: "Back then, I fought against the people of the neighboring village for the sake of the family. My fingers were broken, but I didn't say a word and continued to fight for a day and a night. That's how I earned the reputation of Qin Family Village today."
"You all act like you're going to die from a few lashes or minor hardships, and you want to submit to others. How can someone like you possibly shoulder the honor of the family in the future..."
"The people of Qin Family Village...must have backbone..."
"Do they dare to kill us?"
These words were spoken.
Qin Songye and the others lowered their heads in shame. Yes! They were proud of Qin Family Village, but now, after being whipped twice, some of them had to submit and apologize to others.
What a disgrace to Qin Family Village!
No! They can't lose face!
"Master Shou! Don't worry! We will never submit!"
"Master Shou! We're not cowards either! We'll definitely follow your example and refuse to bow down to evil back then."
"Just do it..."
Qin Shouye nodded, looking like he knew the boy well, and boasted again about his own heroic deeds from back then to encourage him.
While he was boasting.
Bang!
The door was kicked open.
The three Lang brothers, their faces full of anger, walked in. When the Qin family saw them enter, they were initially terrified, but remembering what Old Master Qin Shouye had said, they couldn't help but raise their heads again.
See here.
Boss Lang got even angrier.
Grandma's...
So Qin Jiang doesn't give me any face? He doesn't take me seriously, fine? But these lowly bastards who fell into my hands dare to hold their heads high in front of me? Do they look down on me?
Lang Lao Er: "Big Brother? What methods are you suggesting?"
Boss Lang: "Isn't he arrogant? He dares to chop off one of my fingers? I'd like to see if he can still be so arrogant. Does he really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to his people?"
Lang Lao Er: "Alright...who should I chop?"
The eldest brother Lang glanced at the Qin family members and finally fixed his gaze on Qin Shouye: "Let's make this old man the one. He's old and has a high status, so he must be an elder of Qin Jiang... Chopping him up will be the most intimidating!"
Lang Lao Er drew his knife: "Just you wait and see, big brother!" He walked step by step toward Qin Shouye with the knife in hand.
Qin Shouye: ∑(;°Д°)
Huh? What did you guys just say you were going to do?
Chop off my fingers?
Are you kidding me?
Qin Shouye's face turned pale, and he looked at Lang Lao Er with trembling eyes: "You... what are you going to do?"
Lang Lao Er: "I'll chop off your fingers!"
Qin Shouye: "You...you can't do this...it's illegal..."
Lang Lao Er: "Breaking the law? We'd dare arrest you, and now you're bringing up breaking the law? Do you think we care..."
Qin Shouye: "I...I am...Qin Jiang's elder...Have you considered the consequences of doing this? Even if Qin Jiang and I have conflicts, they are internal family issues and will be resolved sooner or later...But now you want to take my finger? Can you withstand my revenge in the future...?"
"You're just employees... Think about it, we're blood relatives of Qin Jiang, we share the same ancestor. You need to think about your future..."
In his view, these people were all sent by Qin Jiang, so he would reason with them and explain the pros and cons. He didn't believe that these people would really dare to do anything ruthless.
But did he disappoint him?
Boss Lang laughed: "Haha...you...you think Qin Jiang can save you? You think I'm afraid of Qin Jiang? Let me tell you, I have a grudge against Qin Jiang. I'm here to take revenge on you."
What?
Qin Shouye: (=ﾟДﾟ=)
Are these people here to seek revenge on Qin Jiang? Is it really such an undeserved disaster that they arrested him and others?
Are they attacking us to retaliate against Qin Jiang?
Really?
It can't be such a coincidence!
Seeing Boss Lang so close, he immediately explained, "No...no...there might be a misunderstanding! We have a grudge against Qin Jiang! He just kicked us out, really..."
Boss Lang: "Do you have a grudge against Qin Jiang?"
Qin Shouye: "Yes! We have a grudge!"
Boss Lang: "He kicked you all out..."
Qin Shouye: "That's right!"
"Ha ha..."
Old Lang, enraged, laughed coldly: "Do you think I'm a fool? Aren't you relatives of Qin Jiang? What! Do you think I don't know about those hotel bills? I don't know you're out partying and womanizing every day... I've already got you all under my thumb..."
"It's too late to tell me this now..."
"Second brother! What are you waiting for him to do?"
"Chop off your finger!"
