C78 One by One!

Without a moment's hesitation, Qiang strode over and yanked Soong Jiaoqian by the hair, dragging her toward him.

"Wuwuwu... Help me! Mom, Dad, save me..." Soong Jiaoqian's eye makeup was smeared by tears, her raccoon-like dark circles giving her the appearance of a giant panda.

She fought desperately to free herself from Qiang's grip, losing several strands of hair in the process.

Crying, Soong Jiaoqian crawled to Sun Jianguo's bedside, clutching his hand as she sobbed, "Honey! This is all my fault, I'm so sorry! I deserve the worst! The truth is, that scoundrel Qi Jiaguo was after my beauty. He threatened me, saying that if I didn't agree to be with him, he'd harm you, torch your house, even kill you..."

"I agreed to him only because I was terrified for your safety. I was coerced into it!"

Qi Jiaguo spat out his words with venom, "You're such a whore, trying to pin everything on me! You're the one who saw my family's wealth and status and threw yourself at me, sending me your nudes! That's the only reason I got involved with you. I'm not short on women. If you hadn't come onto me, would I have ever gotten involved with you?"

Tears in his eyes, he turned to Lin Xuan, pleading, "Mr. Lin, please don't believe a word this deceitful woman says. I've got the WeChat chat logs where she's the one who added me first, saying she only liked men like me. All the evidence is right here! And these photos? All sent by her, posing provocatively. She's the one who seduced me; I'm innocent in all this..."

Soong Jiaoqian's face turned ashen as she retorted furiously, "You swindler! Didn't you promise to delete those photos after you looked at them?"

Qi Jiaguo retorted with equal ferocity, "With the way you posed, how could I bring myself to delete them? It's a good thing I saved them, or I'd be completely defenseless now. You would have ruined me!"

Stunned into silence, Soong Jiaoqian turned back to Sun Jianguo, collapsing in front of him as she wept, "Honey, I was a fool, completely out of my mind! Please, for the sake of the love we've always shared, forgive me!"

"Get out! Just get out!"

Sun Jianguo bellowed, "I never want to see your face again, you wretched woman! Go on, get out of my sight!"

In a rage, Sun Jianguo snatched up a pillow and hurled it at Soong Jiaoqian's head.

Soong Jiaoqian collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Lin Xuan, clearly irritated, dug at his ear and remarked, "You're incredibly loud. Just looking at you for one more minute is revolting."

Qiang yanked her up by the hair and dragged her before Lin Xuan.

"Wuwuwu, Mr. Lin, I realize my mistake. I understand your power now... Wuwu, I won't dare to cross you again. Please, have mercy on me!"

Qin Hu then inquired, "Mr. Lin, what should be done with this woman?"

Lin Xuan replied coldly, "Disfigure her face so she can't tempt men any longer. Cripple her limbs as well. That will suffice."

Lin Xuan felt nothing but revulsion for a vile woman like Soong Jiaoqian, devoid of any sympathy.

Following her blood-curdling screams, Soong Jiaoqian's face was slashed, her nose broken, her beauty irrevocably destroyed. Qin Hu's men dragged her away like a lifeless carcass, her urine trailing behind.

Meanwhile, Soong Jiaoqian's parents, trapped inside a sack, were paralyzed with fear, crying inconsolably.

They were forced to watch their daughter being brutalized, utterly helpless to intervene, their own safety hanging by a thread. The despair was crushing.

Lin Xuan turned his cold gaze to Soong Jiaoqian's parents.

They shuddered uncontrollably under his steely stare.

"Do you know about your daughter's affair, how she cheated on Sun Jianguo?" Lin Xuan demanded.

Soong Jiaoqian's parents, overwhelmed with tears, stammered, "We know..."

"We don't know..."

Their muffled responses were desperate attempts to deflect.

But Qin Hu bellowed, "Mr. Lin has asked you a question! Answer him now!"

After that shout, the couple was so terrified they wet themselves.

Lin Xuan pressed on: "I'm asking you one last time, do you know about Soong Jiaoqian's affair with Sun Jianguo?"

Through tears, her parents admitted, "We know, we know, it's our fault for not keeping a closer eye on her. Please, Mr. Lin, have mercy on us..."

Lin Xuan let out a cold snort and demanded, "If you knew, why didn't you stop it? Why let it continue? When Sun Jianguo demanded the hundred thousand yuan back, why didn't you pay him?"

Petrified, Soong Jiaoqian's parents prostrated themselves on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Lin Xuan: "Qi Jiaguo is to blame—he promised he'd become our son-in-law, said he'd buy us a big house and take us to live there. We were deceived by his lies..."

"We always knew Sun Jianguo was the decent one, and we realize our mistake now."

"I'll return the hundred thousand yuan to him this instant!" Soong Mingjiang declared, reaching for his phone.

Lin Xuan shook his head, "Too late. You must face the consequences of your actions!"

He then instructed Qiang, "Break their legs so they'll spend the rest of their lives in wheelchairs!"

Soong Mingjiang, upon hearing this, passed out from sheer terror.

"Her father, her father!" Soong Jiaoqian's mother continued to wail, "Mr. Lin, he's old and frail, he can't endure this. Please, spare him..."

She was cut off as Qiang, wielding a pickaxe, approached with a chilling tone, "Playing dead?!"

In the next moment, a blood-curdling scream filled the air as Soong Mingjiang was jolted awake by pain.

He had never experienced such agony in all his years.

But it wasn't over.

Lin Xuan had decreed a life in a wheelchair, and only one of Soong Mingjiang's legs had been broken so far.

Qiang lifted the pickaxe again and brought it down with force.

"Aooo!"

Soong Mingjiang's screams echoed, filled with excruciating pain.

Lin Xuan commented coolly, "You're making quite a racket, old man. Gag him, stuff him in a burlap sack, and toss him onto the garbage heap outside!"

Qiang swiftly gagged Soong Mingjiang with a sack and, with the help of a few others, dragged him out of the ward.

At this moment, everyone else was petrified.

Qi Jiaguo's father, in a fit of rage, berated him, "You monster! Your reckless behavior has doomed us all!"

Lin Xuan, with a smirk, turned to him and inquired, "You're telling me you had no idea your son was causing chaos? That's negligence!"

Hearing this, Qi Jiaguo's father's face turned ashen.

He was at a loss for words.

Soong Mingjiang was a living testament, now left incapacitated.

Lin Xuan didn't even wait for a response. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he declared, "No need for further words. Each of these old fools must face their fate, one by one, without exception!"

"Understood, Mr. Lin!"

Qiang, clutching the pickaxe handle, approached with a malevolent grin.

Then, a series of harrowing screams echoed through the air!

Watching his parents being dehumanized, Qi Jiaguo was struck with an immense trauma. Involuntarily, his bladder gave way, and his pants were soaked with a foul-smelling yellow liquid.

Lin Xuan scoffed, "I saved you for last to ensure you felt the full extent of the torment, both mentally and physically. This is the end you've earned!"

"If you can't keep that thing of yours in check, then there's no point in keeping it at all."

With that, Lin Xuan signaled, and Qiang commanded, "Spread this wretch's legs!"

In sheer terror, Qi Jiaguo wailed, "Mr. Lin, no, Uncle Lin! Grandfather Lin! I beg you, spare me! Cripple my legs like the others, just don't take my manhood!"

Lin Xuan chuckled, "I didn't offer you a choice. What I've given, you simply have to accept."

In the next instant, Qiang hoisted the pickaxe high and brought it down with a fierce swing.

Crunch!

"Ah!"

But it wasn't over yet. Qiang then lifted his foot and brought it down hard!

Qi Jiaguo's lower half was utterly destroyed...

Still, his ordeal wasn't over.

He had to endure the same brutal treatment as the others.

Having his limbs crippled was a certainty.

He had the audacity to cuckold someone, then escalate his arrogance to the point of beating the man and sending him to the hospital, only to continue his intimidation. Such a person deserves his fate, and no one will sympathize with him. Today, he's reaping what he sowed!

By now, both families, along with Boss Loong, summoned by Qi Jiaguo, have all paid a steep price for their actions!
