Chapter 173: Overbearing Discipline

Helicopter!

Actually came a helicopter!

The ruffians, already drenched in filth, wanted to look up and curse, but were silenced by the strong winds from the helicopter. In disarray, they all rushed toward the mouth of the alley, but just as they reached the windy area, they saw a large group of black-clad bodyguards charging toward them. Everyone was stunned!

Have we offended the Axe Gang!

Panicked, they backed away repeatedly.

The helicopter swiftly flew to the lawn of a neighboring community. Jiang Zhihao disembarked and several local big bosses rushed over to flatter him. However, he ignored them, hurried to the wall, and had those bosses form a human ladder. Stepping on their shoulders, he climbed up and leaned over the wall to greet Shui Miao, “Master, master, I’m here! I’m here!”

Jiang Zhihao’s grinning face completely contradicted his gangster boss image.

Shui Miao checked the time and nodded at Jiang Zhihao leaning over the wall, “Not bad, you came pretty quickly. I’ll give you another ten minutes. Find a way to tear down this wall. I need to get over.”

“Sure, sure, I’ll get someone to tear it down right away!”

Being specially summoned by the great immortal master, Jiang Zhihao felt extremely honored. Now that Shui Miao had given him a task, this was a test for him! Jiang Zhihao was thrilled. He climbed down immediately and urgently said to the four or five local bosses, “Don’t say I never help you guys. Now I’m giving you five minutes. Whoever can tear down this wall within five minutes to let my master come over will get a construction project from me…”

As soon as Jiang Zhihao finished speaking, one young boss turned and ran. The other bosses, not having figured out a solution yet, also rushed off to call people to tear down the wall!

But time was 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 directly smashed a hole in the wall…

Only three minutes had passed.

“Great! 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, struggled to kick open the deformed door, and received a contract worth hundreds of millions from the beautiful secretary. Seeing this, the other bosses were filled with envy and quickly gathered around Jiang Zhihao, hoping to catch another opportunity.

“Master, master, be careful…”

Jiang Zhihao seemed to have become a palace eunuch, carefully helping Shui Miao step over the collapsed bricks of the wall.

This feeling of being served was somewhat new to Shui Miao, so he didn’t refuse. After crossing, he casually said, “Some of the elderly and underprivileged families here, if possible, try to help them out. Also, the feng shui of these old houses is really bad. This wall turned the alley into a dead end. I think this area should be planned as soon as possible. Improve the environment. Don’t just focus on development and harm the nearby residents. After all, we are cultivators. Doing good deeds is a must.”

“Exactly! Master is absolutely right!” Jiang Zhihao nodded repeatedly. Turning around suddenly, his expression changed, and he sternly asked the bosses, “Who developed this area? Did you shortchange the compensation to the residents?”

“It was me,” a chubby boss awkwardly replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. I’ll adjust the compensation plan immediately and guarantee that all issues will be resolved in three days, no, in one day!”

Hearing this, Shui Miao couldn’t help shaking his head, “It’s not necessary to give everyone large compensations. For those ruffians, we need to be strict. But for those families who are truly in hardship and are kind and honest, we must not let our conscience be buried. We should help them as much as possible. This is accumulating virtue and doing good.”

“Yes, yes, we will definitely handle things according to the actual situations and ensure that honest people won’t be 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 happily.

Jiang Zhihao’s reputation was quite good. He always kept his promises.

Now, three bosses were still eagerly waiting for opportunities.

But in the current situation, there weren’t many opportunities left.

The group of dirty and smelly ruffians saw the wall was broken and rushed over, wanting to pass through.

Didn’t they just want to kill me? How could I let them pass so easily? Looking at the ruffians, Shui Miao coldly snorted and said, “You want to pass through here? This place was opened by me. If you want to pass, you have to pay a toll, ten thousand yuan per person!”

Shui Miao was deliberately making things difficult.

For these petty ruffians, ten thousand yuan was impossible, even one hundred yuan they wouldn’t want to spend.

“Exactly! This path was opened by my master. No one can pass here. Just now, for this path, I gave out a contract worth hundreds of millions. Do you think you can just walk through so easily?” Jiang Zhihao quickly echoed, “Come on, guard this path! Whoever dares to come through, beat them to death!”

Upon hearing this, the bosses who were looking for opportunities rushed forward, some grabbing bricks, others grabbing sticks, all showing a desperate attitude.

Killing a few ruffians didn’t bother Jiang Zhihao at all. At worst, it was just a little money.

Hearing this, the black-clad bodyguards warned the ruffians not to act recklessly.

The ruffians immediately dared not move. They usually swaggered around the old street, no one dared to provoke them, but today they had truly met their match and couldn’t be tough anymore. Their bodies were dirty and smelly, looking 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, “Failure to educate one’s child is the father’s fault. You raised such a good-for-nothing son, harming yourselves and the villagers. I couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Today I was actually quite lenient. If I had my way, I wouldn’t let such people see the morning sun tomorrow.”

After saying this, Shui Miao turned away, unwilling to deal with the unreasonable old man.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Zhihao, following Shui Miao’s words, said unkindly, “These ruffians are indeed hateful. Today, as long as my master gives the word, I’ll deal with them and guarantee they’ll never dare to do evil again!”

“Good! I like to hear that!”

Shui Miao nodded at Jiang Zhihao, indeed loving these words, and wanting to see exactly how Jiang Zhihao would handle things. He reached out and patted Jiang Zhihao’s arm, “Good apprentice, this time I’ll leave it to you to handle. Handle it well, and I’ll teach you the art of Qi cultivation first. But if you don’t handle it to my satisfaction, I’ll think you don’t understand your master, and I’ll be very disappointed.”

“Thank you, Master! I guarantee to handle it perfectly…”

Jiang Zhihao was immediately thrilled.

Shui Miao then stepped back with Li Lan, Wang Xiaomi, Sun Sihan, and Xiao Tudou, retreating to a corner thirty meters away to watch the show.

“Let’s see how the CEO of Jiang Group, a man of such great status, will demonstrate his extraordinary wisdom and exactly what he will do.”

Shui Miao held his chin, lowering his voice, reminding everyone that his actions were not just random mischief.

Sun Sihan then pulled her mother aside.

Her mother was virtuous and kind, a typical good mother.

But her father was stubborn and selfish, favoring one child too much.

“Ai!”

Seeing this, Sun Sihan’s father shook his head and returned to his room.

Seeing this, Sun Sihan’s mother quickly followed.

Seeing the old couple like this, Shui Miao couldn’t help feeling a bit soft-hearted. Parents’ love for their children is always good, but indulgence can only ruin the child. If he hadn’t acted today, it would only encourage these people, and many more would suffer in the future. Pity the old man’s selfishness, truly harming both himself and others.

“Call the police! We’ll call the police!”

Sun Changfa’s wife suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and started shouting to call the police.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhihao coldly laughed, “Come on! First, stuff this evil woman’s mouth with feces!”

“Wow… This momentum is even fiercer than mine!”

Shui Miao was greatly surprised, not expecting Jiang Zhihao to be so domineering. Shui Miao secretly thought, truth be told, this kind of domineering manner was exactly the type he liked.

Then, the bodyguards moved…

Originally, these black-clad bodyguards were reluctant to touch the ruffians because they were dirty and smelly, but now that the big boss had spoken, they charged like wolves and tigers toward Sun Changfa’s wife in the crowd…

Meanwhile, the three bosses also rushed toward Sun Changfa’s wife without regard for their dignity!

One boss lifted the manhole cover and grabbed a handful of foul-smelling black substance…

“I won’t dare anymore… I really won’t dare anymore…”

Sun Changfa’s wife had her arms twisted by the bodyguards, knowing this was serious business. She was so frightened she immediately begged 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 in front of all these people and swear to heaven that from now on you will properly respect your parents and elders, and if you ever do evil again, may heaven strike you down and leave you without a whole body!”

This move was quite reasonable.

Shui Miao nodded in satisfaction, looking at Sun Sihan, who also sighed in relief.

Hearing this, and seeing the black stinky mud 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 Sun Changfa’s wife.

With this precedent, some of the more timid ruffians also followed suit, kneeling and swearing bitter oaths…

One knelt, then more than ten knelt, and finally even the most ferocious Sun Changfa knelt down.

Jiang Zhihao released everyone, except Sun Changfa.

“Why won’t you let me go?”

Although Sun Changfa was usually fierce, today’s scene left him no courage to be fierce.

Jiang Zhihao approached Sun Changfa, shaking his head and asking, “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 confess 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 could indeed take his life.

Sun Changfa dared not resist and lowered his head, saying dejectedly, “I did not respect my parents; that’s the first. I neglected my younger sister and wanted to drive her out of the house; that’s the second. I secretly put medicine in my father’s food, hoping he would die sooner; that’s the third. I spent all day with those ruffians and hooligans, engaging in petty theft and other evil deeds; that’s the fourth. That makes four offenses, no more.”

Sun Changfa confessed four crimes in one breath, thoroughly.

Jiang Zhihao was stunned. Putting poison in his father’s food—was this even something a human would do?

“I was wrong. I’m willing to cut off four fingers to atone…”

Speaking, Sun Changfa squatted down, placed his hand on the ground, grabbed a cleaver with his other hand, and chopped off his fingers in one stroke!
