Chapter 50!
"Brother, what happened tonight was our fault. We admit defeat!" The leader said solemnly, "We all come from a military background; there's no need for us to kill each other. If you let us go, from now on, we will never bother these girls again!"
"There's no place for your kind in the military!" Ye Qing responded coldly, slowly walking towards the shorter man and bending down to grab his arm.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!" The shorter man screamed repeatedly, but his screams suddenly turned into a shriek of agony. His arm was twisted into an unnatural angle, having been broken by Ye Qing.
"You madman! You madman!" screamed the shorter man, his voice echoing, trying to use his other hand to relieve the pain. However, Ye Qing didn't give him a chance, grabbing his other arm and snapping it in the same manner.
The six remaining men inside the room looked terrified, and the leader, shivering with fear, pleaded, "Eldest Brother, what you're doing will ruin us for life. We don't have that much of a grudge against you, why must you do this?"
Ye Qing suddenly turned to him with a chilling glance, which silenced the leader involuntarily.
"Listen carefully!" Ye Qing glared at him and said harshly, "I am breaking both your arms and legs not because you hurt these three girls, but because of what you have done. You forced so many girls into prostitution, how many lives have you pushed to dead ends? How many families have you torn apart? How many young girls with dreams have you corrupted?
How many lives that could have been beautiful have you destroyed? And you dare to talk about a lifetime? Have you ever thought about the girls you forced into prostitution who have completely lost their lives?"
As Ye Qing spoke, he grew increasingly angry and suddenly picked up a machete nearby, cutting off the shorter man's right foot. The bone was chillingly visible, and the blood instantly soaked it red. The shorter man was stunned for a while before he let out a thunderous roar.
The six men were all stunned, and suddenly, a foul smell rose in the room as one of the men lost control of his bladder out of fear.
The leader looked at Ye Qing, his mouth agape, unable to speak. Ye Qing's words left him at a loss for how to respond. Over the years, the number of girls he had driven to despair was not less than eighty if not one hundred. He had even witnessed several girls take their own lives right in front of him because they couldn't bear the burden anymore.
Death and degradation had become commonplace in their eyes. Over the years, they had been above the law, and human life had become cheap to them. They never considered the futures of these young girls; in their view, the girls were only valuable in terms of money. Now that they were in someone else's hands and faced with this torture, they suddenly began to regret!
But was it too late for regrets now?
Ye Qing chopped off both of the shorter man's feet. The shorter man seemed especially vile and had likely harmed many people.
With that, the shorter man's life was utterly ruined. Because while an arm bone can be set, though it won't be as flexible as before, leg amputations can't be reattached. He would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Ye Qing stood up and coldly looked at the other six men and asked, "Who's next?"
The men all shuffled back, none wanting to be the first to endure the punishment.
"Brother, give us a way out!" The leader pleaded through clenched teeth: "Let us go back intact. After this, no one will speak of this matter again. I know you are furious, but the past is the past. Those girls are already in this state; that's an unchangeable fact. Even if you kill us, it won't bring them back to how they were before. Why must you make such a bitter enemy of us?"
"If you do wrong, you must be punished!" Ye Qing coldly looked at them and declared, "I gave you a chance. If you hadn't taken those three girls tonight, it might have shown some hope for you. But you didn't listen to me, and now I am here to deliver this punishment on behalf of those girls. You should actually be glad I'm no longer a soldier. Otherwise, I would have killed you!"
On the border line, Ye Qing had dealt with such criminals and had never shown mercy. What he said was true, if this situation had occurred at the border, he had the authority to execute them first and report later. After all, the border relates to national security, and a few deaths were not considered a significant issue!
The words frightened the men even more, sending shivers down their spines. The leader was utterly despondent, unable to comprehend why, despite having the same military background, Ye Qing's lethal force was so much stronger than the seven of them combined.
"Brother, to be honest, the seven of us are just small fry. Even if you kill us, it's pointless. Behind this matter, there are many others, many you cannot even imagine. Even if you kill us, someone else will carry on. And if you kill us, someone will surely seek revenge. You might be safe, but what about those girls?
How many times can they be lucky? I'm not threatening you. I'm just advising you, let us go. Nobody will pursue this matter, and nobody will bother them again!"
Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Go back and tell them if they don't want to end up like you, they can try their luck. If I can cripple the seven of you, I can do the same to everyone in your organization!"
Speaking thus, Ye Qing stepped forward, grabbed the leader's arm, twisted it to break the bone, then grabbed a machete and chopped off his one hand and one foot, and broke his leg, leaving him crippled.
The other five underwent the same treatment. Ye Qing spared no one, crippling them all before he stopped.
The seven men had been tortured beyond recognition, the room littered with blood and severed limbs, resembling a scene from Shura Hell.
Ye Qing was splattered with blood, yet his facial expression remained unchanged, his eyes as cold as ever.
Ye Qing didn't spare another glance at the seven men, turning around to leave the room.
The three women were still waiting outside, hearing the relentless screams inside but not daring to enter. Seeing Ye Qing emerge covered in blood, Fang Tingyun couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ye, are you... are you hurt?"
"It's okay." Ye Qing shook his head and led the three women out.
Huo Pingping walked up to Ye Qing and whispered, "How did it go? Did you take revenge for us? Was it brutal enough, or should I go back and give them another beating? We must vent this frustration!"
Ye Qing didn't speak, and seeing the blood on his clothes, Huo Pingping didn't ask any further.
Wow, there was so much blood, she could only imagine the horror inside.
Fang Tingyun and Mo Xiang could guess what had happened inside the room. However, both women didn't dare to think too much about it or look back. Though those men had almost harmed them, after all, they were girls, and their hearts were somewhat soft.
Ye Qing led the three women away from the factory area. Beside the two cars of the thugs, a man was sneaking around the cars, seemingly up to something.
"There's another accomplice!" Huo Pingping shouted, preparing to rush forward with her claws and teeth ready. Now that she had Ye Qing's support, she was much bolder!
Ye Qing grabbed her, saying, "He's my friend." ThischapterfirstappearedonM|V|L^EMPYR.
This man was the same one who had driven Ye Qing earlier. Seeing Ye Qing and the others come out, the man's eyes widened.
"You... you really rescued them?" the man asked in astonishment.
Ye Qing didn't respond. Did that question even need an answer?
"How many were there?" the man asked, looking at the blood all over Ye Qing, "Was the fight that fierce?"
Huo Pingping said discontentedly, "Why do you have so many questions? If you're Ye Qing's friend, why didn't I see you going in to help?"
"Uh..." The man was momentarily lost for words, his eyes rolling around before saying, "Bro, can I have a word with you in private?"
Ye Qing frowned. What kind of shady idea was this man concocting now?
Still, the man had helped Ye Qing a few times. Ye Qing walked a few steps with him and stood in front of the man.
As if worried that the women might hear, the man pulled Ye Qing another five or six meters away before whispering, "Bro, I need to discuss something with you."
Ye Qing reassured, "Don't worry, I won't spread the word about what's in the car."
The man's face turned red, and he waved his hands hastily, saying, "Not that, I... I mean, what about those thugs now?"
Ye Qing said, "They're lying inside."
The man was pleased and asked, "What are you going to do with them?"
Ye Qing replied, "I haven't planned to do anything to them."
The man said, "Uh... I mean, aren't you going to call the police?"
Ye Qing nodded, saying, "I'll call the police once we get out."
"Don't call the police!" the man hastily waved his hands, "How about you hand them over to me?"
Ye Qing's brow furrowed, and his expression changed immediately, his eyes filled with a suspicious hostility as he stared coldly at the man!
(I have something on tonight, so I'm updating early.)
