Helicopter!
A helicopter actually arrived!
The rabble, already drenched in filth and excrement, tried to look up and curse, but were silenced by the powerful gusts from the helicopter. In disarray, they all rushed toward the alley’s exit. However, just as they reached the windy area, they saw a large group of black-clad bodyguards charging toward them fiercely. Everyone was stunned!
Have we offended the Hatchet Gang?
Panicked, they retreated in fear.
The helicopter swiftly flew to the lawn of a neighboring community. As Jiang Zhihao stepped off the aircraft, several local big bosses rushed over to flatter him, but he ignored them. He hurried to the wall, had those bosses form a human ladder, and climbed atop their shoulders to peek over the wall and greet Shui Miao. “Master, Master! I’m here, I’m here!”
Jiang Zhihao’s grinning face was completely at odds with his powerful image.
Shui Miao checked the time and nodded at Jiang Zhihao peering over the wall. “Not bad, you arrived quite quickly. I’ll give you ten more minutes—figure out how to tear down this wall. I need to come over.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll get someone to tear it down right away!”
Being summoned individually by the Grand Master was a great honor for Jiang Zhihao. Now that Shui Miao had entrusted him with a task, it was clearly a test of his capability! Overjoyed, Jiang Zhihao quickly climbed down and urgently addressed the four or five local big bosses. “Don’t say I never do you favors—now I’m giving you five minutes. Whoever can figure out how to tear down this wall so my master can come through will get a construction project from me…”
As soon as Jiang Zhihao finished speaking, one young boss turned and ran off. The others, not yet having figured out a plan, followed suit, rushing off to call people to demolish the wall!
But time was limited to only five minutes.
The bosses hadn’t run far when they stopped—because the young boss had gotten into his car and was driving his SUV straight toward the wall…
“Boom!”
The SUV crashed into the wall, creating a gaping hole…
Only three minutes had passed.
“Excellent! Secretary, assign him a construction project.”
Jiang Zhihao nodded in satisfaction and immediately instructed his secretary to assign a project to the young boss. The young boss backed his car out, barely managing to kick open the bent door, when the beautiful secretary handed him a contract worth hundreds of millions! Seeing this, the other bosses were filled with envy and jealousy, quickly crowding around Jiang Zhihao, hoping for another opportunity.
“Master, Master, be careful…”
Jiang Zhihao seemed like a palace eunuch, carefully helping Shui Miao down from the rubble of the collapsed wall.
This feeling of being served was somewhat new to Shui Miao, so he didn’t refuse. After crossing over, he casually said, “Some of the elderly people here, the underprivileged—try to take care of them if you can. Also, the feng shui of this old neighborhood is terrible. This wall turned the alley into a dead end. I think this area should be redeveloped as soon as possible. Improve the environment—don’t just focus on development at the expense of the locals. We are cultivators, after all. Doing good deeds is a must.”
“Exactly! Master is absolutely right!” Jiang Zhihao nodded repeatedly. Then, turning around, his expression suddenly changed. Glaring at the bosses, he asked, “Who developed this area? Did you shortchange the locals on their compensation?”
“It was… it was me,” a chubby boss replied awkwardly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. I’ll adjust the compensation plan immediately and guarantee that all issues will be resolved within three days—no, within one day!”
Hearing this, Shui Miao couldn’t help shaking his head. “It’s not necessary to give everyone huge compensation either. For those ruffians and troublemakers, we need to be strict. But for those families genuinely in hardship, who are kind and honest, we must never betray our conscience. We should help them as much as we can. This is accumulating virtue, doing good deeds.”
“Yes, yes! We’ll handle things according to the circumstances and ensure no honest person gets taken advantage of.” The chubby boss wasn’t stupid. If Jiang Zhihao treated this young man this way, how dare he not comply?
Jiang Zhihao nodded. “Old Sha, if you handle this well, I guarantee you won’t lose out.”
“Great! I’ll get right on it, right away.” The chubby boss, having received the assignment, hurried off joyfully.
Jiang Zhihao’s reputation was quite good—whatever he promised, he always kept.
Now, three bosses remained, eagerly waiting for their chance.
But under the current circumstances, opportunities were scarce.
The group of dirty, smelly rabble, seeing the wall had been breached, rushed over, hoping to pass through.
Didn’t they just try to kill me? How could I just let them through? Looking at the rabble, Shui Miao coldly snorted. “You want to go through here? This place was opened by me. If you want to pass, you’ll have to pay a toll—ten thousand yuan per person!”
Shui Miao was clearly looking for trouble.
These petty ruffians—ten thousand yuan? They wouldn’t even part with a hundred yuan easily.
“Exactly! This path was opened by my master. No one can pass here. Just to open this path, I awarded a contract worth hundreds of millions. Do you think you can just walk through? That easy?” Jiang Zhihao quickly chimed in. “Come on! Guard this path! Anyone who dares to come through, beat them to death!”
At these words, the three bosses waiting for a chance rushed forward—some grabbing bricks, others grabbing sticks, all ready to fight fiercely.
Killing a few rabble-rousers? Jiang Zhihao truly didn’t care. At worst, he’d just pay a small sum.
Hearing this, the black-clad bodyguards issued warnings to the rabble not to cause trouble.
The rabble immediately froze. Usually, they strutted around arrogantly, ruling the old street with no one daring to provoke them. But today, they had truly met their match. They couldn’t act tough anymore. Covered in filth and stinking, they looked utterly wretched, causing Li Lan and the others to secretly laugh.
However, Sun Sihan’s parents came forward to plead for mercy.
Shui Miao looked at Sun Sihan’s father and said, “Failing to discipline one’s child is the father’s fault. You raised such a worthless son, harming yourselves and dragging down the entire neighborhood. If I don’t teach them a lesson, how could I live with myself? Today, I was actually quite lenient. If I followed my instincts, people like him wouldn’t live to see tomorrow’s sunrise.”
After speaking, Shui Miao turned away, unwilling to engage with this unreasonable old man.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Zhihao, following Shui Miao’s lead, said bluntly, “This rabble truly deserves hatred. Today, just say the word, Master, and I’ll deal with them. I guarantee they’ll never dare to commit evil again!”
“Good! I like hearing that!”
Shui Miao nodded approvingly at Jiang Zhihao. He truly enjoyed those words and wanted to see exactly how Jiang Zhihao would handle things. He reached out and patted Jiang Zhihao’s arm. “Good disciple, this time I’ll leave it to you to handle. If you do it well, I’ll personally teach you the art of cultivating energy. But if your handling displeases me, I’ll think you don’t understand me at all, and I’ll be deeply disappointed.”
“Thank you, Master! I guarantee I’ll handle it perfectly…”
Jiang Zhihao was overjoyed.
Shui Miao stepped back, joined by Li Lan, Wang Xiaomi, Sun Sihan, and Xiao Tudou, retreating to a corner more than thirty meters away to watch the show.
“Let’s see how this mighty CEO of the Jiang Group, with his extraordinary wisdom, will handle this situation.”
Shui Miao rested his chin on his hand, lowering his voice. This was also a reminder to everyone that his actions weren’t just random mischief.
Sun Sihan then went to pull her mother aside.
Her mother was gentle and kind—a typical good mother.
But her father was stubborn and selfish, favoring one child to an extreme.
“Ah!”
Seeing this, Sun Sihan’s father shook his head and returned to his room.
Seeing this, Sun Sihan’s mother hurried after him.
Witnessing this elderly couple, Shui Miao couldn’t help feeling a little soft-hearted. Parents’ love for their children was natural and good, but indulgence only ruined them. If he didn’t act today, it would only embolden these people, and many others would suffer in the future. Pity this old man’s selfishness—truly harming both himself and others.
“Call the police! Let’s call the police!”
Sun Changfa’s wife suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and started shouting about calling the police.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhihao sneered coldly. “Come on! Stuff this evil woman’s mouth with excrement!”
“Wow… this guy’s even more ruthless than me!”
Shui Miao was greatly surprised, never expecting Jiang Zhihao to be so ruthless. He thought to himself, truthfully, this kind of boldness was exactly the type he liked.
Then, the bodyguards moved…
Originally, these black-clad bodyguards had been reluctant to touch the dirty, smelly rabble, but now that the boss had spoken, they charged toward Sun Changfa’s wife in the crowd like wolves and tigers…
Meanwhile, the three bosses, disregarding their dignity, also rushed toward Sun Changfa’s wife!
One boss lifted the sewer cover and grabbed a handful of foul, black sludge…
“I won’t dare anymore… I won’t dare again…”
Sun Changfa’s wife had her arms twisted by the bodyguards, realizing this was serious business. Terrified, she quickly cried for mercy.
Sun Sihan couldn’t bear to watch anymore and was about to plead for mercy when Jiang Zhihao raised his hand. “Alright! Since you’re begging for mercy, I’ll give you a chance. Now, kneel here before everyone and swear to heaven that from now on you’ll properly care for your parents and elders, and if you commit any more evil deeds, may heaven strike you down and leave you without a whole body!”
This move was quite reasonable.
Shui Miao nodded in satisfaction, glancing at Sun Sihan, who also sighed in relief.
Hearing this, and seeing the black sludge in the boss’s hand, Sun Changfa’s wife quickly knelt down and swore a bitter oath.
After swearing the oath, Jiang Zhihao immediately released her.
With this precedent, some of the more timid rabble followed suit, kneeling and swearing bitter oaths…
One knelt, then more than ten followed, and finally even the fiercest among them, Sun Changfa, knelt down.
Jiang Zhihao released everyone but deliberately left Sun Changfa.
“Why won’t you let me go?”
Although Sun Changfa was usually fierce and brutal, today’s situation left him completely unable to act tough.
Jiang Zhihao approached Sun Changfa, shaking his head. “Don’t be in a hurry. Even if the police come today, I can still deal with you. To resolve today’s matter, you must admit your several wrongdoings and then take corresponding actions. Only then can I release you. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you rot in jail for life!”
Sun Changfa knew that someone like Jiang Zhihao truly had the power to end his life.
A helicopter!
A helicopter actually showed up!
The lowlifes, drenched in dog blood and feces, wanted to look up and curse, but the strong wind from the helicopter stifled their shouts. They were in a miserable state, scrambling to flee the dead-end alley. But as soon as they reached the windy area, they saw a large group of black-clad bodyguards surging toward them menacingly. Everyone was instantly stunned!
Had they offended the Axe Gang or something?
Terrified, the crowd retreated step by step.
The helicopter quickly flew to the lawn of the neighboring residential area. Jiang Zhihao got off the plane, and several local business tycoons who had been waiting for him rushed over to flatter him. Ignoring them, he hurried to the wall, had the tycoons form a human ladder, and stepped on them to peer over the wall, greeting Shui Miao with a grin. “Master, Master, I’m here, I’m here!”
Jiang Zhihao’s playful demeanor was completely at odds with his status as a big shot.
Shui Miao checked the time and nodded at Jiang Zhihao, who was clinging to the wall. “Not bad, you got here pretty fast. I’ll give you another ten minutes—find a way to tear down this wall. I need to get through.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll have someone tear it down right away!”
Being summoned alone by the great immortal master made Jiang Zhihao feel incredibly honored. Now that Shui Miao had a task for him, it felt like a test! Overjoyed, Jiang Zhihao climbed down and urgently said to the four or five local tycoons, “Don’t say I never look out for you. I’ll give you five minutes. Whoever figures out how to tear down this wall within five minutes and lets my master through will get a project contract from me…”
As soon as Jiang Zhihao finished speaking, a young tycoon turned and ran. The others, not yet having a plan, also rushed off to call people to tear down the wall!
But there were only five minutes.
The tycoons hadn’t run far when they stopped because the young tycoon had gotten into his car and driven his SUV straight toward the wall…
*Boom!*
The SUV crashed through the wall, creating a gap…
It had taken only three minutes.
“Excellent! Secretary, arrange a project for him.”
Jiang Zhihao nodded with satisfaction and immediately instructed his secretary to assign a project to the young tycoon. The young tycoon reversed his car, barely managing to kick open the deformed door, and received a contract worth hundreds of millions from the beautiful secretary! The other tycoons watched, green with envy, and quickly crowded around Jiang Zhihao, hoping for another opportunity.
“Master, Master, be careful…”
Jiang Zhihao transformed into something like a palace eunuch, carefully supporting Shui Miao as they stepped over the collapsed wall bricks.
The feeling of being waited on was somewhat novel to Shui Miao, so he didn’t refuse. After crossing, he casually remarked, “Some of the elderly and struggling families around here—try to help them if you can. Also, the feng shui of these old houses is terrible. This wall turned the alley into a dead end. I think this area needs urgent planning. Improve the environment; don’t just focus on development at the expense of the locals. We’re cultivators—doing good deeds is a must.”
“Yes, yes! Master is absolutely right!” Jiang Zhihao nodded repeatedly, then suddenly turned with a stern expression and asked the tycoons, “Who developed this area? Did they shortchange the residents on compensation?”
“It was me!” A chubby tycoon awkwardly replied. “Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. I’ll adjust the compensation plan immediately and resolve all issues within three days—no, within one day!”
Hearing this, Shui Miao shook his head. “You don’t necessarily have to give huge compensations to everyone. For instance, those street ruffians—they deserve harsh treatment. But for those who are genuinely struggling and kind-hearted, we mustn’t bully them. Help them as much as possible. It’s about accumulating virtue and doing good.”
“Yes, yes, we’ll handle it case by case. We won’t let honest people suffer,” the chubby tycoon replied. He was no fool—seeing how Jiang Zhihao treated this young man, he didn’t dare show disrespect.
Jiang Zhihao nodded. “Old Sha, handle this well, and I promise you won’t lose out.”
“Okay, okay! I’ll get on it right away.” The chubby tycoon, thrilled with the assignment, hurried off.
Jiang Zhihao had a good reputation—he always kept his promises.
Three tycoons remained, eagerly waiting for an opportunity.
But chances were slim now.
The dirty, stinking ruffians, seeing the gap in the wall, swarmed over, trying to get through.
*They wanted to attack me earlier—why should I let them pass so easily?* Shui Miao snorted coldly at the sight of them. “You think you can just pass through here? This opening was made on my orders. If you want to use it, you’ll have to pay a toll—10,000 per person!”
Shui Miao was deliberately provoking them.
These petty ruffians wouldn’t even spend 100 yuan, let alone 10,000.
“Exactly! This path was opened by my master. No one gets to use it for free. I just gave out a hundred-million-yuan contract for this passage. You think you can just waltz through? Not that easy!” Jiang Zhihao quickly chimed in. “Everyone, guard this path! If anyone dares to come through, beat them to death!”
Hearing this, the tycoons seeking opportunities rushed forward, grabbing bricks and sticks, ready to fight.
Jiang Zhihao couldn’t care less if a few ruffians died—he’d just compensate with a little money.
The black-clad bodyguards shouted warnings, telling the ruffians not to cause trouble.
The ruffians froze. They were used to throwing their weight around in the old streets, but today they’d met their match. Covered in filth and stench, they looked utterly pathetic, drawing suppressed laughter from Li Lan and the others.
However, Sun Sihan’s parents, playing the age card, came over to plead for mercy.
Shui Miao looked at Sun Sihan’s father and said, “A father’s failure to teach his son is his fault. You raised a worthless son who not only brought harm to your family but also implicated the entire neighborhood. I’m stepping in to teach them a lesson—what’s wrong with that? Today, I’m being lenient. If it were up to me, scum like this wouldn’t live to see tomorrow’s sun.”
After saying this, Shui Miao turned away, unwilling to engage with the unreasonable old man.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Zhihao, following Shui Miao’s lead, said sternly, “These ruffians are despicable. Just say the word, Master, and I’ll deal with them. I guarantee they’ll never dare to cause trouble again!”
“Good! I like hearing that!”
Shui Miao nodded at Jiang Zhihao. He did like those words and wanted to see how Jiang Zhihao would handle it. He patted Jiang Zhihao’s arm and said, “Good disciple, I’ll leave this to you. Handle it well, and I’ll teach you the art of qi cultivation first. But if your approach doesn’t meet my expectations, I’ll assume you don’t understand me, and I’ll be very disappointed.”
“Thank you, Master. I promise to handle it perfectly…”
Jiang Zhihao was overjoyed.
Shui Miao stepped back with Li Lan, Wang Xiaomi, Sun Sihan, and Little Potato, retreating to a corner about thirty meters away to watch the spectacle.
“Let’s see what exceptional wisdom Jiang, the head of Jiang Corporation, possesses and how he’ll handle this.”
Shui Miao rested his chin on his hand, lowering his voice. This was also a reminder to everyone that his actions weren’t just reckless mischief.
Sun Sihan went to pull her mother aside.
Her mother was virtuous and kind, a typical good mom.
But her father was stubborn, selfish, and overly biased.
“Sigh!”
Seeing this, Sun Sihan’s father shook his head and returned to his room.
Sun Sihan’s mother quickly followed.
Seeing the old couple like this, Shui Miao felt a twinge of softness. Parents’ love for their children is natural, but overindulgence only ruins them. If he didn’t intervene today, it would only embolden these people, and more would suffer later. It was a pity the old man was too selfish, harming both others and himself.
“Call the police! We’ll call the police!”
Sun Changfa’s wife seemed to have a sudden epiphany and shouted about calling the police.
Jiang Zhihao sneered coldly at this. “Someone! Stuff this vile woman’s mouth with feces!”
“Whoa… he’s even fiercer than me!”
Shui Miao was stunned. He never anticipated Jiang Zhihao to be so commanding. *I must admit, this kind of dominance is exactly my style.*
Then, the bodyguards sprang into action…
Initially, the black-clad bodyguards had been reluctant to touch the filthy, stinking ruffians. But now, with the boss’s order, they charged into the crowd like wolves, heading straight for Sun Changfa’s wife…
The three tycoons also threw dignity to the wind and rushed toward Sun Changfa’s wife!
One tycoon lifted a sewer cover, grabbed a handful of foul, black sludge…
“I won’t dare anymore, I won’t dare anymore…”
Sun Changfa’s wife, held firmly by the bodyguards, knew they meant business. Terrified, she begged for mercy.
Sun Sihan couldn’t bear to watch and was about to plead for leniency when Jiang Zhihao raised his hand. “Fine! Since you’re begging for mercy, I’ll give you a chance. Kneel down now and swear to heaven in front of everyone that from now on, you’ll respect your elders and parents and never do evil again. If you do, may heaven strike you dead, and may you die without a complete body!”
This approach was reasonable.
Shui Miao nodded in satisfaction and glanced at Sun Sihan, who also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Changfa’s wife, seeing the tycoon holding the foul sludge, quickly knelt and swore the oath.
After she finished, Jiang Zhihao immediately released her.
Following this example, some of the more timid ruffians also knelt and swore oaths…
One person knelt, then a dozen followed. Eventually, even the most menacing Sun Changfa knelt.
Jiang Zhihao let everyone go except Sun Changfa.
“Why won’t you let me go?”
Though usually fierce, Sun Changfa couldn’t muster any fierceness today.
Jiang Zhihao walked up to Sun Changfa and shook his head. “Don’t rush. Even if the police came today, I could still deal with you. To resolve this, you must confess your mistakes and take corresponding actions. Only then will I let you go. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you rot in prison for life!”
Sun Changfa knew someone like Jiang Zhihao could easily end his life.
Not daring to resist, Sun Changfa hung his head and said dejectedly, “I failed to respect my parents—that’s the first wrong. I didn’t take care of my sister and even tried to kick her out—that’s the second. I secretly put drugs in my father’s food, hoping he’d die sooner—that’s the third. I hung out with hoodlums and engaged in petty crimes—that’s the fourth. That’s all.”
Sun Changfa laid out his four crimes thoroughly.
Jiang Zhihao was stunned. *He drugged his own father’s food? What kind of monster does that?*
“I was wrong. I’m willing to chop off four fingers to atone…”
As he spoke, Sun Changfa crouched down, placed his hand on the ground, picked up a butcher knife with the other hand, and brought it down hard on his fingers!
Sun Changfa confessed four crimes in one breath, thoroughly and completely.
Jiang Zhihao was stunned. Poisoning his own father’s food—was that even something a human would do?
“I’m guilty! I’m willing to cut off four fingers to atone…”
Speaking, Sun Changfa squatted down, placed his hand on the ground, and with the other hand, grabbed a butcher’s knife, chopping off his fingers in one stroke!
