Chapter 41  : I’ll Back You Guys Up

The three women were dumbfounded by what took place.

After a few seconds, First Madam’s expression changed drastically. Her eyes were bloodshot as she shouted, “Qi Yihan, how dare you hit Yaohui! I’ll kill you!”

With that, she charged at him.

When First Madam charged at him, Qi Yihan let go of First Master whose face had turned purple and quickly retreated a few steps. At the same time, he shouted, “Bodyguard!”

Then, several bodyguards rushed over to stop her.

First Madam, who was stopped by a bunch of men, shouted at the top of her lungs, “You little b*stard! No wonder no one likes you. You’re such a b*stard who hits his own brother!”

Qi Yihan looked coldly at First Madam who was acting like a shrew.

If this person wasn’t his sister-in-law, he would make her leave the Qi family immediately.

“Gag her.”

“Boohoo…”

First Madam was gagged and she couldn’t go on cursing. She kept twisting her body, trying to break free, but the two bodyguards easily pinned her arms down.

First Master was also stopped by two bodyguards. His hand was obviously dislocated and his face was covered in a cold sweat due to the pain. Gritting his teeth, he glared at Qi Yihan with a murderous gaze and shouted, “Qi Yihan, just you wait. When father passes away, it will be time for us to settle the score.”

“Be my guest.”

Qi Yihan’s expression turned even colder. He walked away and said, “I’ll get the finance team to calculate the total amount of shares you guys hold, and I’ll also get them to calculate the losses from the raw stones this time. After they calculate it, we’ll settle the score properly.”

The second generation of the Qi family had ten percent shares from the moment they were born, while the third generation only had one percent each. The majority of the shares were still in their father’s hands.

When First Master heard this, he was furious. “Qi Yihan, if you dare to touch my shares, I’ll kill you!”

“Be my guest.”

Qi Yihan left after saying that.

He heard First Master and First Madam cursing as he was leaving.

Qi Yihan turned a deaf ear to it and strode out towards his house.

When he walked into the courtyard, there was already a person wearing a black shirt and a mask waiting for him.

Seeing him come in, the man immediately greeted him respectfully, “My Master.”

Qi Yihan, “Follow the plan.”

“Yes.”

…

It was past one in the morning and the night was enveloped in dead silence.

The Qi family’s Mansion had a history of more than a hundred years. Every brick, tile, wall, and piece of wood inside was considered an antique.

“I didn’t expect the Qi family to have so much good stuff. I couldn’t feel their existence before I absorbed those jade stones. Now, I feel like I’m surrounded by countless spiritual powers.”

The Artifact Spirit’s voice kept appearing in Qi Lingxuan’s mind.

Qi Lingxuan asked, “Is the spiritual energy you absorbed from the incense burner very strong yesterday? I feel that my body has become especially light today. Can we become one now?”

“Not yet,” the Artifact Spirit said. “Let’s absorb more antiques with powerful spiritual energy.”

“Where are we going tonight?” Qi Yihan dealt with his father and stepmother today, so he felt extremely satisfied. But somehow he felt that it wasn’t enough. “Why don’t we just absorb all of the antiques belonging to First Master?”

Artifact Spirits did not mind as long as there was something he could absorb.

After discussing, they went straight to First Master’s study.

There was a large bookshelf in the study with many books on it as well as all kinds of calligraphy and paintings. However, the Artifact Spirit directly instructed Qi Lingxuan to find the switch to the secret passageway and enter it to absorb some of the antiques that were already filled with spiritual energy.

As soon as the antiques were absorbed by the Artifact Spirit, they turned into green smoke and disappeared.

Half an hour later, Qi Lingxuan walked out of the study, satisfied. He thought that no one would notice.

However, shortly after he walked out of the study, several people in black suits and masks suddenly came out and surrounded him. These people each had a gun in their hands, and all the guns were pointed at him.

Qi Lingxuan’s panicked slightly, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly asked the Artifact Spirit, “What do we do now?”

The Artifact Spirit did not take these people seriously at all. “Just about time. let’s try becoming one.”

Qi Lingxuan immediately became confident and charged towards those people.

As the guns were fired at him, the fight started.

The masked man asked the cold-looking Qi Yihan, “Master, do we need to get rid of this person?”

Qi Yihan lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

At this moment, the men in black were already thrown to the ground by Qi Lingxuan.

Qi Yihan said to the people beside him, “Wound him and let him go.”

The man in black didn’t ask why he made such a decision. He took out a gun and pointed it at Qi Lingxuan’s left shoulder, firing a few shots quickly.

Qi Lingxuan dodged left and right. He thought that he dodged them all, but suddenly a bullet flew at him at a much greater speed and shot through his left shoulder.

The bodyguards then started to approach from all directions.

Qi Lingxuan, who had been shot, covered his right shoulder and staggered as he ran away.

After he ran away, Qi Yihan left and returned to his courtyard.

After Qi Lingxuan ran out of the Qi Mansion with the Artifact Spirit’s help, his body became weak and he was about to faint because his body could not handle all the spiritual energy the Artifact Spirit absorbed today.

At this moment, a dilapidated car drove over. Seeing that there was only one woman in the car, he rushed out to stop it without thinking.

Xiang Wanwan was terrified. When the man rushed out, she suddenly braked. She thought she bumped into someone and quickly got out of the car to check the situation. However, she was threatened by Qi Lingxuan.

Qi Lingxuan’s murderous voice sounded in her ear. “Get me out of here immediately, or I’ll kill you.”

Xiang Wanwan had never encountered such a situation before. Moreover, she didn’t want to die, so she could only help Qi Lingxuan into the car and bring him away.

By the time the bodyguards came out, there was already no trace of him.

For First Master’s family, it was a restless night filled with wails and curses.

…

Tang Li, who was in the hospital, had no idea what happened to the Qi family. After dinner, Tang Li talked to the old man.

The old man was still wearing the inhaler, but he could feel that he had become much better after Tang Li arrived. This made him happy and worried.

“When one knows he is about to die, he realizes how terrifying death is.”

Hearing that, Tang Li continued, “Father, you won’t die.”

The old man nodded with a smile. He looked at Tang Li and said, “Thank you for going out of your way to take care of me. If my sons really cared about me, not just their inheritance, I would let them come and visit me.”

Tang Li replied. “Father, things at home have been going haywire because you are sick. When you recover, you can teach them a good lesson.”

The old man nodded. “You’re right. These people must have caused a lot of trouble for Yihan recently.. When I recover, I’ll back you guys up.”
