Jiang Hao and Manggou slowly retreated a few steps, protecting Qin Qinghan behind them. Perhaps they were wary of the army, but if anyone dared to harm Qin Qinghan, they would fight desperately even at the cost of their lives.
This was the brotherly bond between him and Ye Fengwu. He could die, but he would certainly perish in front of Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan was also shocked by the scene before her, wondering why the army would show up here.
Slap!
Liu Hui and Fan Long stood still in front of Qin Guannan and Zhang Yulin, their heavy military boots stomping heavily on the tiles below, sinking them slightly, showing that the arrivals were unkind.
As the warrior king of the Ferocious Wolf Special Forces, holding the rank of colonel, Liu Hui had carried out countless life-and-death missions.
So just by standing there silently, his overbearing aura made Qin Guannan and Zhang Yulin break out in cold sweat.
"Leaders, may I ask what business you have here?" Qin Guannan asked with difficulty.
What was going on today? He was just marrying off his granddaughter, but Jiang Hao started beating people at the slightest disagreement, and now a whole regiment of soldiers had arrived. What fearsome figure had his Qin family offended?
Zhang Yulin was also puzzled. By buying a daughter-in-law, he had offended not only the Eastern Dragon Tyrant Jiang Hao but also summoned an entire army.
The timid Qin Zhi and Yang Yu cowered behind them, exchanging glances that seemed to ask: Are these people also here because of Qinghan? Are they here to help Qinghan or for some other purpose?
If they were here to help Qinghan, who could possibly be behind them?
Liu Hui's chiseled face was extremely cold as he looked down at Qin Guannan. "I heard you are forcing an arranged marriage. Is this true?"
Hearing this, Qin Guannan certainly did not dare admit it. "Leader, you must have misunderstood."
"Misunderstood?" Liu Hui smiled coldly, then turned to Jiang Hao beside him who was protecting Qin Qinghan. "Brother, is this true?"
Jiang Hao was somewhat confused, as this colonel seemed quite friendly toward him.
Then Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Leader, my sister-in-law is already married. This punk kidnapped my sister-in-law's daughter and threatened her to marry someone she doesn't like. Personally, I think this is a typical forced marriage."
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, cold sweat poured down Qin Guannan's and Zhang Yulin's faces. Even Zhang Ge, hiding behind Zhang Yulin, was trembling in fear at the sight of these fully armed soldiers.
Liu Hui's eyes flashed with coldness. He turned to look behind Zhang Yulin and said, "Who is Zhang Ge?"
In an instant, Zhang Ge shuddered in fear, nearly collapsing under Liu Hui's powerful voice.
Without Zhang Ge answering, Liu Hui had already discerned his identity from his pale face.
So Liu Hui said coldly, "Does she like you?"
He was clearly referring to Qin Qinghan.
Now, no one knew the purpose of these soldiers, so they all watched warily, afraid to say the wrong thing to provoke the wrath of this fearsome officer.
Zhang Ge stammered deferentially, "I... I love her. I will definitely make her happy."
"Damn it, I'm asking if she likes you!" Liu Hui's expression changed as he cursed angrily.
This angry shout made Zhang Ge tremble in fear.
Beside them, Zhang Yulin and Liu Mei were also filled with tension seeing their son's plight.
As a rich playboy, Zhang Ge lorded over Haihua City and toyed with many good women. Wherever he went, all eyes were upon him, only because of his enviable father.
But now, facing these tiger-like soldiers, Zhang Ge's former arrogance and superiority had vanished. He was like a chick seeking the protection of the mother hen.
Worried about his son, Zhang Yulin quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "Chief, I am Zhang Yulin, Chairman of Zhang Group. If my son has offended you in any way, I hope you can be tolerant."
Zhang Yulin was trying to use his identity as group chairman to put some pressure on Liu Hui. After all, the sacred duty of soldiers was to defend the country, not to bully ordinary people.
"Get lost..." Liu Hui uttered coldly toward Zhang Yulin.
Hearing this, Zhang Yulin's expression instantly turned ugly. Gritting his teeth, he said, "You're soldiers, not police. Even if we did arrange a marriage, it's none of your business, right?"
Zhang Yulin was reasonable. Even Qin Guannan straightened his hunched back beside him.
Liu Hui sneered softly, then shouted loudly, "Commander Fan, why did you become a soldier?"
"To defend the country!" Fan Long replied without hesitation.
"What about all of you?" Liu Hui turned to the young but resolute faces behind him.
"To defend the country and let the people live in peace!"
Two thousand soldiers roared as one, their mighty aura swirling above the Xishan villa area.
Everyone looked at the young officer, wondering what he was up to.
A cold smile flashed in Liu Hui's eyes. He shouted at the soldiers again, "We devote our youth and shed sweat and hot blood just to make our country stronger and safer. If the people we are supposed to protect are vermin who destroy decent families, what should we do?"
"Execute them on the spot!"
Like a mountain tsunami, the roar burst from the mouths of two thousand soldiers, fury burning in every face.
This earthshaking morale instantly stunned Qin Guannan, Zhang Yulin and Zhang Ge.
But Zhang Yulin was a sly old fox of the business world after all. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I don't believe you soldiers would randomly injure ordinary people without reason. If you dare to touch us, I, Zhang Yulin, will sue you in military court!"
Zhang Yulin was reasonable. Even Qin Guannan straightened his hunched back beside him.
A soldier walked over holding his rifle. With one swing of the rifle butt, he smashed Zhang Yulin's face to the ground.
"Ah!" Zhang Yulin screamed as he fell, blood streaming from his battered eye.
Beside him, Liu Mei and Zhang Ge were shocked speechless as they hurried to help Zhang Yulin up.
At this moment, Jiang Hao angrily shouted, "Damn it! I respect soldiers most in my life. You dare threaten them? Beat him, beat him to death!"
Following Jiang Hao's angry roar, over a dozen of his underlings swarmed up and rained fists and kicks on Zhang Yulin, Liu Mei and Zhang Ge.
Soon the crowd heard the miserable screams for mercy from the three.
Perhaps the soldiers disdained to beat them, but Jiang Hao had no compunctions. Even if he beat them to death, he had ways to slip away.
When Jiang Hao's underlings finally dispersed, Zhang Yulin's family of three were presented before everyone, their battered and swollen faces too miserable to look at.
When had the esteemed chairman of a huge conglomerate ever imagined he would one day be beaten so miserably?
Liu Hui and Fan Long simply stood by without stopping Jiang Hao's men, because this was exactly the result they wanted.
If not for not wanting to reveal their instructor identities, they would have mowed these people down with their guns by now.
In their eyes, while soldiers should not clash with ordinary people, they knew nothing of the existence of instructors like themselves.
Daring to threaten the woman of the Wolf King, even standing trial in military court, their only sentence would be death by firing squad.
Qin Guannan was now completely desperate. Seeing the situation, it was clear Jiang Hao and these aggressive troops had all come for Qin Qinghan's sake, to protect and escort her.
At this moment, Qin Guannan seemed to age a few more years, his hunched back bending further.
Staring at Jiang Hao and Liu Hui, he said despairingly, "What great figure has my Qin family offended?"
Liu Hui said nothing, but Jiang Hao coldly sneered, "Someone you cannot afford to offend."
Qin Guannan laughed self-deprecatingly, "So from the moment the Qin family signed the contract with your Wind and Sea Group, you were already prepared to destroy my family, is that it?"
This was something Qin Guannan had never dared to ask outright until now.
Jiang Hao, however, sneered coldly, "Wrong. From the day you dismissed sister-in-law, your Qin family...was destined for ruin."
As his words fell, the self-mockery in Qin Guannan's eyes grew thicker. His hunchbacked body swayed unsteadily, as if he would collapse to the ground at any time. After a long while, he finally sighed regretfully, "So it turns out that the one I should never offend is that granddaughter I never looked favorably upon, Ye Fengwu... Just who is she exactly?"
At this moment, Qin Guannan vaguely felt that these soldiers were somehow connected to Ye Fengwu.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts...
