Chapter 45 You Want My Daughter to Drink Dog Urine?

“What Witchfire Cult? I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Master Zhang stubbornly denied it.

Ye Tianci said nothing more, merely pressing a finger against Zhang’s navel.

A fierce surge of primordial energy shot straight into Master Zhang’s dantian, shattering it in an instant.

“Aaaah!”

Master Zhang rolled on the ground, wailing in agony.

“Do you understand now?” Ye Tianci asked calmly.

Curled on the floor, Zhang glared at him with venom, “I, Zhang He, am a retainer of the Qi family. You dare injure me like this? I swear Old Master Qi will destroy you!”

Just then, a Cullinan pulled up nearby.

The door opened, and Lei Hong jumped out with his entourage.

Zhang He, enduring the pain, cried out desperately, “Master Lei! Please, save me!”

Hearing the call, Lei Hong turned and was startled, hurrying over.

“Master Lei, that damn cripple ruined my dantian! We’re both Qi family retainers. Take him down for me, avenge me! I’ll beg Old Master Qi to reward you handsomely!” Zhang He shouted.

Lei Hong glanced at him, then walked straight to Ye Tianci, bowing respectfully, “Master Ye, why are you here?”

Ye Tianci pointed at Zhang He indifferently, “Is he your friend?”

Lei Hong shook his head like a rattle, “No.”

“Then do you want to avenge him by crippling me?” Ye Tianci asked, smiling.

“Master Ye, you jest,” Lei Hong’s expression shifted, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Zhang He.

Zhang He, still confused, urged, “Master Lei, why bother talking to a cripple? Just finish him!”

Lei Hong, furious, spat thickly in Zhang He’s face. “Lei Hong is no longer a Qi family retainer! I’ve severed all ties with them! Now, I belong to Master Ye!”

“You dare order me to deal with Master Ye? Are you courting death?”

“Men! Break this dog’s legs!”

Three attendants surged forward, beating Zhang He mercilessly, breaking both his legs.

Zhang He screamed and sobbed, “Lei Hong, you dare betray the Qi family? Old Master Qi will wipe out your whole clan!”

“Damn you, still threatening me? Break his arms, too!” Lei Hong barked.

The attendants moved in again, snapping Zhang He’s arms.

“Aaaah!”

Zhang He lay limp on the ground, wailing pitifully, no longer daring to utter threats.

His dantian destroyed, his limbs broken, he was utterly ruined.

Lei Hong bowed to Ye Tianci, “Master Ye, I’ve dealt with Zhang He. Is there anything else you need? Please command me.”

Ye Tianci replied coolly, “You just claimed to be my man, but I’ve never agreed to that.”

Lei Hong dropped to his knees with a thud, panic evident, “Master Ye, you promised before to help my family line, to ensure my descendants. I followed your instructions exactly, stopped all my business. Knowing you had a rift with the Qi family, I severed ties myself, no longer serving them. I only wish to follow you, Master Ye, please accept me!”

Ye Tianci’s expression remained calm, “You know I have problems with the Qi family, yet you still approach me. Aren’t you afraid they’ll retaliate? Wipe out your family?”

“I’m not afraid!” Lei Hong shook his head firmly, eyes blazing. “I swear loyalty to Master Ye!”

He had previously traded in beef and mutton, his network spanning every hotel and restaurant in Shu City.

The Tang family’s female star, Tang Qiong, had knelt to Ye Tianci in public.

The leader of the Three Dragons, Yuan Zhonghuang, struck his own disciple, Qi Qingming, at the Purple Aura Mansion, then knelt to Ye Tianci.

The Liang family patriarch, Liang Xianrong, and Yuan Zhonghuang, one poured wine, the other tea, both attending Ye Tianci during his meal.

Ye Tianci had sworn to destroy the Qi family.

Others might not know, but Lei Hong, well-informed, knew all this.

He was certain Ye Tianci possessed a terrifying identity.

Being shrewd, Lei Hong knew where to place his bet, hence his unwavering resolve.

“Since you’re so sincere, from now on, you’ll follow me.”

“Thank you, Master Ye!” Lei Hong kowtowed fervently.

Once he rose, Ye Tianci searched Zhang He and found a bank card worth one million, then kicked Zhang He in front of Lei Hong.

“This man is yours to interrogate. If you can get him to talk, I’ll credit you a great merit.”

“Master Ye, rest assured, I’ll make him talk!” Lei Hong rejoiced, signaling his men to drag Zhang He into the car, departing in haste.

Suddenly, Lin Qingqian rushed downstairs, calling urgently, “Tianci, something’s wrong! There’s trouble!”

“What happened?”

“My mom has a high fever! Forty-one degrees! Her nostrils are bleeding nonstop! Just as you predicted—please, come quickly!”

Lin Qingqian spoke frantically, pulling Ye Tianci upstairs.

They returned to Lin Qingqian’s grandmother’s home. Zheng Mei lay on the living room floor, eyes closed, shivering as if convulsing, blood pouring from her nostrils.

A large pool of blood stained the floor.

Zheng Mei’s face, neck, and arms were bright red, burning with fever.

She looked to be in grave danger.

Lin Changli had arrived at some point, standing nearby, visibly agitated.

“I dragged Tianci back. Everything he said is happening to my mom. Do you believe him now? That Master Zhang was a fraud!” Lin Qingqian declared.

The old lady wailed, sitting on the floor, slapping her legs, crying with snot and tears, “My million! My million!”

Zheng Ju muttered awkwardly, “That Master Zhang really was a fraud? What should we do?”

“Xiao Ye, your medical skills are impressive. Quickly, check on your aunt,” Lin Changli said.

Ye Tianci replied coolly, “Aunt Zheng’s situation looks dangerous, but it’s not hard to cure.”

The whole family looked to him.

Lin Qingqian urged, “Tianci, don’t keep us guessing. Tell us.”

“Aunt Zheng’s mouth sores were passed on by her pet toy poodle. Desperate, she took medicine she shouldn’t, worsening her condition. To cure her, we must fight poison with poison.”

“Collect some dog urine and have her drink it—it’ll cure her.”

Ye Tianci spoke calmly.

“What? You want my daughter to drink dog urine? How could you!” The old lady protested angrily.

“Making my sister drink dog urine? What nonsense!” Zheng Ju shouted indignantly.

Lin Changli’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly said, “Mom, Ju, as long as it cures Zheng Mei, drinking dog urine is nothing.”

Lin Qingqian frowned, “People can be controlled, but how do you get a dog to urinate on command?”

Ye Tianci’s lips curled, “If dog urine is too hard to get, human urine will do.”

Lin Changli leapt forward, somewhat excited, “I’ll do it! I just happen to have some!”

“She’s my wife, it’s only right that I save her!”

He seemed a bit thrilled, as if stifling a laugh.

“Dad, why are you laughing?” Lin Qingqian noticed and blurted out.

Lin Changli straightened his face, replying solemnly, “I’m not laughing. Your mother’s so ill, I’m worried sick!”

With that, he eagerly dragged Zheng Mei into the bathroom.
