Qin Fei's bodyguard didn't hesitate for a second. With a swift movement, he charged toward Yang Chen.
Yet Yang Chen continued walking forward at his usual pace, as if he hadn't noticed the bodyguard rushing at him.
"Brother-in-law, be careful!"
Though Qin Yi knew how formidable Yang Chen was, she couldn't help but shout out in alarm.
Zhou Yucui, on the other hand, wore a sinister smile, not the slightest bit worried—in fact, she seemed eager to see what would happen next.
Qin Fei burst into laughter when he saw Yang Chen making no move to dodge. "This idiot must be scared stiff! He didn't even try to evade! I paid a hundred thousand for this expert—you're dead!"
If only he knew that the Xiong family had once spent millions hiring the foreign boxing champion Samba to deal with Yang Chen—what would he think then?
Just as Qin Fei was laughing maniacally, the bodyguard reached Yang Chen and threw a punch, his knuckles clad in spiked brass knuckles.
*Boom!*
Yang Chen casually kicked out. The nearly 200-pound bodyguard flew over ten meters through the air before landing perfectly inside one of the unloaded coffins on the truck.
The moment Yang Chen struck, the bodyguard had already been knocked unconscious.
Silence fell over the scene.
Kicking a 200-pound man over ten meters away—was that even humanly possible?
Something no one would have believed if told was now unfolding right before their eyes.
The foreman of the demolition crew glanced at the partially demolished house, his entire body trembling violently.
Qin Fei's laughter died in his throat, his face frozen in shock. That bodyguard had cost him a hundred thousand, yet he hadn't even touched Yang Chen before being sent flying?
Zhou Yucui's eyes bulged in disbelief, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.
Remembering all the insults she had hurled at Yang Chen, how she had just demanded he kneel and beg Qin Fei, and even tried to hit him—she nearly fainted from terror.
Only Qin Yi remained relatively calm, her momentary surprise quickly replaced by relief.
"You said you'd flatten this place just so we couldn't live here?"
"You said these five coffins were prepared for us—even one for my daughter?"
"You even said you wanted me to kneel and beg you?"
"Now, do you still plan to demolish this place? Still preparing a coffin for my daughter? Still want me to kneel and beg you?"
Yang Chen's voice grew colder and louder with each word as he strode toward Qin Fei, finally grabbing him by the throat.
"I've spared you more than once. I've warned you more than once—come at me all you want, but don't you dare target my family. Yet you never listened. Fine. Then your life is mine now."
With a slight squeeze, Qin Fei was lifted off the ground. Yang Chen looked up at his terrified face and said icily, "Any last words? Speak them, and then I'll send you on your way."
The words *send you on your way* made Qin Fei lose control of his bladder. Choked by Yang Chen's grip, he couldn't utter a word, only flail desperately.
The demolition crew was petrified. Was Yang Chen really about to kill someone?
Zhou Yucui, overwhelmed by the relentless shocks, couldn't even speak.
After a brief daze, Qin Yi panicked and rushed forward. "Brother-in-law, don't act rashly! Let him go! Killing him isn't worth it! Think about my sister, think about Xiao Xiao! If you're arrested for murder, what will they do?"
Qin Fei's face had turned purple from lack of oxygen, his pupils beginning to dilate.
"Brother-in-law, let go! Qin Fei's about to die!" Qin Yi screamed, genuinely afraid Yang Chen would be taken away for murder.
Yang Chen had never intended to kill Qin Fei outright—he just wanted him to experience the despair of death.
*Thud!*
Finally, Yang Chen released his grip. Qin Fei collapsed to the ground, gasping for air as the purple hue slowly faded from his face.
Qin Yi was also badly shaken. Another ten seconds, and Qin Fei would have suffocated to death.
Zhou Yucui's legs had turned to jelly. She never imagined Yang Chen could be so ruthless.
"Speak your last words. After that, I'll send you on your way."
Just as Qin Yi began to relax, Yang Chen repeated the chilling statement, making her tense up again. "Brother-in-law, you—"
"Xiao Yi, no matter how others come at me, I can endure it. But Xiao Xi and Xiao Xiao are my bottom line," Yang Chen interrupted. "Anyone who dares target them will pay. Qin Fei must die."
"Yang Chen, you can't kill me! The Qin family is now allied with the Guan family! I'm the Qin family's sole heir! If you kill me, Grandfather will never let you go!"
Having just brushed with death, Qin Fei had thought Yang Chen would spare him. Now, realizing he was still marked for death, he pissed himself again, kneeling at Yang Chen's feet and begging.
The man who had earlier demanded Yang Chen kneel before him was now the one groveling—a bitter irony.
At that moment, Qin Xi returned after dropping off their daughter. Seeing Qin Fei kneeling before Yang Chen, she was stunned, unsure what had happened.
"Sister, hurry and talk some sense into Brother-in-law! He's about to kill Qin Fei!" Qin Yi rushed over.
Only then did Qin Xi understand why Qin Fei was kneeling. Her face paled as she ran to Yang Chen. "Yang Chen, don't act recklessly!"
Yang Chen glanced at her, his expression unreadable. "You know exactly what kind of person Qin Fei is. Today, he prepared coffins for our family. Tomorrow, he'll come for our lives. I won't allow that."
"Yang Chen, I swear, I'll never trouble you again!" Qin Fei immediately raised his right hand in oath.
Yang Chen smirked coldly. "If your word meant anything, pigs would fly. Today, you die."
Seeing Yang Chen's unwavering resolve, Qin Xi felt his dominance for the first time. This was a far cry from the usually submissive Yang Chen.
"Yang Chen, you—"
Before Qin Xi could finish, Yang Chen cut her off. "Xiao Xi, I'll agree to anything you ask of me—except this. If he doesn't die, I won't rest easy. For you and our daughter, let me take matters into my own hands this once."
At that moment, Qin Fei—still kneeling—suddenly reached into his jacket and pulled out a gleaming dagger, lunging straight at Qin Xi.
Knowing he couldn't kill Yang Chen, he aimed for Qin Xi instead.
