175: solve

On the third floor of the beauty club, Qin Yang watched the scene below through the window with a smile on his face. This was the right flavor, the right feeling—oppressing others with sheer power was indeed quite satisfying.

Before long, the old man wearing the training suit was brought up.

After entering the room, the old man first glanced at the group of thugs kneeling in the corner, then at Sun Mei and the others squatting to the side, sighing inwardly.

He then cupped his hands toward Qin Yang and said, "I am Yu Dongwei. These few incompetent ones are my juniors. May I ask how to address you?"

"Heh, so it's a team of swindlers," Qin Yang said with a laugh, not answering the man's question.

Seeing this, Yu Dongwei didn't respond, clearly admitting it by default.

"State your terms. Things have come to this, we admit defeat," Yu Dongwei replied after a few seconds of silence.

With the other party backing down, Qin Yang began to state his conditions.

"Being caught cheating... breaking hands and feet is the rule of the game, right? First, each of these women must leave behind one hand. Second, compensate my wife for her mental distress. I don't want much—twenty million will do.

Third, get out of H City and don't let me see you again, or next time I'll wipe you out completely!" Qin Yang replied after a moment's thought.

"Sir, compensation is fine, and it's no problem for us to leave, but taking a hand is too much. Let's leave a line for future meetings. If you let them go this time, I guarantee they will never appear in your sight again." Yu Dongwei frowned, still trying to salvage the situation. For a swindler, nothing was more important than their hands; if their hands were broken, they would have to say goodbye to the trade forever.

Qin Yang walked up to Yu Dongwei and said coldly, "Do you think I'm negotiating with you? I'm simply informing you!"

Looking at Qin Yang's condescending attitude, Yu Dongwei finally had to use his last chip to see if Qin Yang would show him some respect.

"I wonder if you've heard of the Triad? We are actually members of the Triad. I am a Mountain Lord of a branch in the north."

"Triad?" Hearing Yu Dongwei's self-introduction, Qin Yang was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected the other party to have such a significant background.

Qin Yang had naturally heard of the Triad; after all, it was depicted in many movies and novels. It was the world's largest Chinese criminal organization—a so-called triad. However, after the turn of the century, the Triad had split; some members joined the political system, while others continued in the underworld.

This was the first time Qin Yang had met a member of the Triad in real life. However, while the name Triad was indeed mysterious and filled with deterrent power for others, for Qin Yang, it was just so-so.

"That's right. I wonder if you can do me a favor and let this go?" Yu Dongwei replied.

A smile bloomed on Qin Yang's face, but he instantly pulled it back and said, "No! I know the Triad's influence is vast and strong, but you still have no face to speak of with me. Besides, coming out to set up scams to trap people—is this how you Triad people do things?"

Seeing that Qin Yang was completely unmoved, Yu Dongwei was out of options. If they played it hard, the other man had hundreds of people blocking the entrance to the beauty club right now. If they brought up background, the man wasn't afraid at all. Therefore, he could only admit defeat!

"Xiao Yu, you girls do it yourselves!" Yu Dongwei turned to Sun Mei and the others and said.

Sun Mei and the others were now as pale as paper. The thought of losing a hand filled their hearts with an unspeakable dread.

But seeing that Yu Dongwei had spoken, they could only do as he said. Not only was Qin Yang overbearing, but they also couldn't afford to offend Yu Dongwei.

At this moment, Wang Chao threw a sharp knife in front of the women.

After waiting for over ten seconds, perhaps due to fear, no one moved. Qin Yang said impatiently, "Do you want my men to help you?"

"No need!" Yu Dongwei replied.

He then took a large step forward, picked up the sharp knife, and glared at Zhao Hongyu. "Stretch out your hand!"

Zhao Hongyu tremblingly stretched out a hand. The blade flashed, and Yu Dongwei's knife fell, chopping off one of her hands, leaving Zhao Hongyu collapsed on the floor, howling in agony.

Seeing this, Sun Mei and the other woman were scared into wetting themselves on the spot. But Yu Dongwei was also a ruthless character; he grabbed their hands and, with one stroke for each, chopped them off.

"What about her?" Qin Yang gestured with his chin toward the proprietress of the beauty club.

"She isn't one of mine; she just happens to know them," Yu Dongwei replied after looking at the proprietress.

"Fine, transfer the money and leave. The room is getting filled with the smell of blood," Qin Yang replied upon seeing this.

Yu Dongwei then paid the money readily before taking Sun Mei and the other two, along with their severed hands, and leaving. The hands had just been cut off; if they went to the hospital now, they could probably still be reattached. Qin Yang didn't say anything about that.

However, as they left, Yu Dongwei gave Qin Yang a deep look, as if trying to etch Qin Yang into his mind. Seeing this, Wang Chao wanted to detain them on the spot, but Qin Yang waved his hand to stop him. After all, it was in public; if he took their lives, it would be hard for Qin Yang to extricate himself. In short, he just found it troublesome. Of course, Qin Yang had also learned to be cautious; this old geezer couldn't be left alive. One could tell from how he treated his subordinates that he was a ruthless man. Right now, he was only yielding because the situation was against him; once he got back, this guy would definitely not be able to swallow this insult.

What to do when you have an enemy? Naturally, it was to physically transcend them. So what if the other party was from the Triad? Let them go talk reason with his army of hundreds of thousands!

After letting Yu Dongwei leave, Qin Yang looked at the proprietress of the beauty club. Blowing out a smoke ring, he said, "Speak up, what about you?"

The middle-aged proprietress remained somewhat calm and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"What? Not convinced? There's no harm in telling you. My surname is Qin, my name is Qin Yang."

"You... you are Master Qin!!!" The middle-aged proprietress's beautiful eyes widened in shock as she spoke in terror.

"Hmm? You know me? Oh, right. Those in legitimate business might not be very familiar with me, but those in shady businesses should have heard my name," Qin Yang replied.

In the current underground world of H City, Qin Yang was at the level of an emperor. Although Qin Yang looked down on it, his status was there, and plenty of people were making a name for him.

Then, the middle-aged proprietress fell to her knees with a thud and said, "Master Qin, I really didn't know it was you. Otherwise, how would I dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers? I apologize to you."

Looking at her kneeling before him, Qin Yang said, "I don't know who your backer is, but since you dare to run a shady business, I assume you have people in both the underworld and the government. However, I don't care. No matter how powerful the person behind you is, can they be more powerful than Yu Dongwei?

Since you didn't participate directly, I'll give you a small lesson. Close this shop. I'll take it over for a hundred thousand yuan. Someone will come to handle the title transfer tomorrow. Any problem?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged proprietress turned pale, knowing this was already the best possible outcome. One had to know that among the socialites who had gone against Qin Yang, not a single one was still alive. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow; she didn't dare to challenge him for fear of paying an even greater price.

"Okay," the middle-aged proprietress replied somewhat miserably.
