Chapter 10: Brother Wu

Seeing this, the dozens of followers behind Jiang Hao were shocked but remained silent.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jiang Hao didn't say a word as he methodically swung his club down again and again.

Jin Bao was already pale with fear, unable to comprehend his mistake. Why would Brother Hao, known for his loyalty, suddenly turn on his own brother?

Jiang Hao crouched in front of Jin Bao and spoke in a cold voice, "This time, I'll show you your mistake."

He then pointed to Ye Fengwu and Qin Qinghan. "He is my brother, and she is my sister-in-law."

Jin Bao's eyes widened in shock, then filled with despair and bitterness. He had never imagined he would target someone whom Brother Hao would call sister-in-law. He realized now that he wouldn't leave this place alive.

The young thugs with broken legs were trembling with fear. They had dared to lay hands on Brother Hao's brother and sister-in-law. It was like boasting about their long life in front of the Grim Reaper.

The followers behind Jiang Hao were wide-eyed in disbelief. No wonder Brother Hao was acting so strangely. But what shocked them the most was that someone in Haian City could be addressed as "brother" by Brother Hao. Who was this person?

Qin Qinghan was the most shocked. When the Overlord of East Dragon called her his sister-in-law, her mind went blank. Could it be that Ye Fengwu, besides being a convicted rapist, was also involved with underground organizations? What misfortune had befallen her to agree to marry an outlaw?

Jin Bao, knowing his death was inevitable, still cried and pleaded with Ye Fengwu and Qin Qinghan. "Brother, sister-in-law, I was blind and ignorant, but I swear I didn't lay a finger on her. Please spare my life."

Qin Qinghan, a kind-hearted woman, felt conflicted. Even when facing evil, her compassion surfaced when they admitted their mistakes.

Jiang Hao looked at Ye Fengwu and said, "Brother Wu, please say something."

Ye Fengwu exhaled a puff of smoke, extinguished his cigarette, and calmly said, "It's not too much trouble for you, is it?"

Jiang Hao understood instantly and stood up. "Prepare seven body bags and clean up."

At these words, Jin Bao and the six young thugs turned ashen.

"Brother Hao, spare..."

Before one could finish begging, they were dragged out like dead dogs, Jin Bao included.

Jin Bao knew better than to beg further. He knew Jiang Hao's ruthless nature well. The Overlord of East Dragon's rise to power was built on ruthless means. Begging would only bring more pain.

Ye Fengwu felt Qin Qinghan's body trembling, her hand growing colder.

Ye Fengwu knew she was terrified. She was a gentle-hearted woman, unaccustomed to such violence.

Trying to be gentle, he smiled at her and said, "It's okay. They deserve it. Good deeds bring rewards, and evil deeds bring retribution. Jin Bao and his men deserve their fate."

Qin Qinghan couldn't hold back any longer. She covered her mouth to stifle her sobs, but hot tears streamed through her fingers.

Of course, her tears weren't for Jin Bao and the thugs but out of fear of the Overlord of East Dragon. She had never witnessed a killing, and now seven lives were decided by a single sentence.

Understanding her fear, Ye Fengwu turned his frustration on Jiang Hao. "Couldn't you have taken them out before killing them? Did you have to say it here?"

Jiang Hao's face showed embarrassment. He smiled apologetically at Qin Qinghan. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time."

Next time...

Hearing this, Qin Qinghan cried even harder. The rumors said this man had killed nearly a hundred people, but now she believed it might be closer to a thousand.

She had only known Ye Fengwu for a day and knew nothing about his past. The only certainty was that he was more terrifying than the Overlord of East Dragon.

Seeing her cry harder, Ye Fengwu glared at Jiang Hao and shouted, "Get out!"

"Hehe..."

Instead of being angry, Jiang Hao smiled even more, like a chastised younger brother.

This scene stunned Jiang Hao's followers. They had never seen their boss so humble. Was this really the Overlord of East Dragon?

But they began to understand that anyone who commanded such respect from Brother Hao must be extraordinary.

Jiang Hao didn't feel awkward about his submissive behavior. It was natural because, in all of China, the only person he would defer to was the man before him.

Ye Fengwu's face grew serious as he looked at Jiang Hao. "Xiao Hao, you've gotten bold, employing anyone. How much of your old principles have you kept?"

Hearing Ye Fengwu's somber tone, Jiang Hao felt a pang of guilt. He knew better than to explain; explanations would only lower Ye Fengwu's opinion of him.

So, Jiang Hao said nothing and lifted his right leg onto the table.

Before anyone could understand his intent, Jiang Hao swung the steel pipe in his hand down on his own leg without hesitation.

The followers were shocked, and Qin Qinghan gasped. The Overlord of East Dragon was self-harming over a single rebuke from Ye Fengwu. What was their past relationship?

Bang!

The sound was heavy and dull as the steel pipe hit not his leg but a muscular arm.

Everyone saw the pipe bend to a 45-degree angle from the impact, showing Jiang Hao's strength. But more shocking was that the arm showed no signs of injury.

"Brother Wu..." Jiang Hao's voice trembled with guilt.

Ye Fengwu took the pipe from Jiang Hao, straightening it with a light touch, further intimidating the followers.

Ye Fengwu looked at Jiang Hao, his tone serious. "I'll cover for you this time. Next time, I'll handle it myself."

His meaning was clear: if Jiang Hao had more subordinates like Jin Bao, Ye Fengwu would personally break Jiang Hao's legs.

This was a principle Ye Fengwu had set for Jiang Hao eight years ago.

Jiang Hao grinned like a child. "Brother Wu, it won't happen again."

Then he hugged Ye Fengwu, who patted his back, rekindling their brotherly bond after eight years apart.

After they separated, Jiang Hao politely smiled at Qin Qinghan. "Sister-in-law, I'm Jiang Hao. You can call me Xiao Hao. Today was my fault for using the wrong people and scaring you. Please accept this car as an apology."

He handed her an electronic key with a Ferrari emblem, but she didn't take it. Still in shock, she couldn't accept such a gift.
