Chapter Thirty-Four: The Fall of the Bai Family
"Young man!" Jiang Qingyun stared at Qin Feng and said, "The Bai family is not a place where you can run wild. I advise you not to resist, or you will surely die!"
"Commander Jiang?" Qin Feng asked coldly, "Are you planning to help the Bai family?"
"Hmph." Jiang Qingyun snorted, his expression stern and righteous. "I am the commander of the Canglong Special Forces, stationed in Yunhai. Maintaining law and order in this city is my mission. You are here in broad daylight committing mass murder, acting completely lawless. It is only natural that I intervene!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng found it laughable. He replied calmly and slowly, "Unfortunately, you are not qualified to intervene."
"Insolent!" Jiang Qingyun felt insulted and roared, "Since you are so obstinate, don't blame me! Hear my order—execute this brat on the spot!"
Following the command, over a hundred elites of the Canglong Special Forces opened fire simultaneously. A hundred gun barrels erupted with searing flames. Bullets flew like a swarm of locusts!
"Excellent!"
"With a hundred guns firing at once, this brat will be riddled with holes!"
Seeing Commander Jiang give the order to shoot, the members of the Bai family present gloated. Old Master Bai even sneered. With the resources and status the Bai family possessed, a mere remnant of an enemy... could be wiped out with a wave of a hand!
However, unexpectedly!
Just as that rain of bullets descended, Qin Feng waved his hand casually. "Scram!"
A burst of *qi* erupted instantly from his body, forming a barrier. The bullets struck the barrier and were all deflected. They could not penetrate it!
Immediately after, the muscles and bones in Qin Feng’s fist vibrated as he struck out violently! The terrifying force of his punch transformed into a surging tidal wave, sweeping across the area with devastating power!
All hundred Canglong elites were blown away, lying scattered in disarray, wailing in agony. Every single one of them had been severely injured!
"What?!" Old Master Bai was dumbfounded. Everyone else present was in disbelief.
Commander Jiang was also struck with terror, his face pale with shock. "Brat, you... you are a Grandmaster!"
A Grandmaster is like a dragon! In the martial arts world, those who develop internal energy are considered strong, having just entered the threshold. But only a Grandmaster can project *qi*. Such individuals are capable of founding their own sects, serving as the honored protectors of great families, and being revered by thousands.
Yet, today! He had encountered such a figure, and even more shockingly—this person was so young. To his knowledge, Grandmasters were rare even in the provincial capital, let alone in Yunhai. He had never seen a Grandmaster so young.
The next moment, Qin Feng stood directly in front of him. "If you don't want to die, take your broken soldiers and get out. Otherwise, you will be buried alongside this family! Get out!"
After saying this, he struck him with a slap!
"Ah!" Jiang Qingyun was sent flying twenty feet away, his face covered in blood, looking utterly wretched. He stared at Qin Feng with terror in his eyes. The arrogance he had moments ago was gone, and he now looked like a cowering worm.
"Retreat... retreat quickly!"
Soon, the injured Canglong soldiers struggled to their feet and fled in a panic. Seeing this, the faces of the Bai family members changed drastically; they had never anticipated such an outcome.
Qin Feng turned his gaze toward the Bai family, his tone icy: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
No one in the Bai family dared to make a sound. Even a hundred Canglong soldiers with a hundred guns couldn't take him down... this brat was a monster!
"Run!!"
In an instant, the members of the Bai family, paralyzed with terror, scattered to flee.
"Fleeing?" Qin Feng’s eyes were cold and sharp. "None of you in the Bai family are innocent. You all must die!"
He transformed into a god of slaughter, chasing them down and beginning a massacre! Old Master Bai’s two sons had their skulls crushed. His three grandsons had their hearts stomped into pulp. It was a scene of gore and blood!
"My sons!"
"My grandsons!!!"
Accompanied by Old Master Bai’s mournful cries, his family members were wiped out amidst extreme terror and shrill screams. Finally, only he, the old man, remained.
"You... you murderous devil, you will suffer retribution! You will have a miserable death!" Old Master Bai watched as his children and grandchildren died wretchedly before his eyes, his emotions collapsing as tears streamed down his face. He cursed frantically.
"I will suffer retribution?" Qin Feng sneered. "Isn't it your Bai family, having lost all conscience, that is meeting this retribution today? You killed so many of my Qin family; this is merely reaping what you have sown. Of course, if you want to die quickly, tell me: besides the Bai family, what other forces participated in the destruction of the Qin family?"
He knew the Bai family was merely a pawn. There had to be a mastermind behind them.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai suddenly laughed in a state of manic, grief-stricken madness: "Brat, you want to know who destroyed the Qin family? Hahahaha! You’ve destroyed my Bai family, so you’ll know soon enough! But by then, it will be time for you to go to hell!"
Qin Feng frowned. "Who is it?"
Old Master Bai said coldly, "In his eyes, you are nothing but an ant that can be crushed with one hand! Are you even worthy of knowing his identity? Brat, I’ll be waiting for you in the underworld!"
After saying this in a fit of grief and rage, Old Master Bai picked up a gun. "Bang!" He committed suicide on the spot!
"Too good for you," Qin Feng said, his expression unmoved. As for the threat before the old man’s death, he didn't take it to heart. He was more looking forward to the enemy coming to him rather than having to search for clues himself.
As he left, looking at the massive Bai estate, Qin Feng calmly lit a cigarette and flicked it. The ash landed in a shrub, and suddenly a raging fire erupted. The flames were so fierce that in the blink of an eye, they consumed the entire Bai family estate.
From that moment on, the great Bai family was reduced to ashes.
Before long, news of the Bai family's destruction shook Yunhai. Every wealthy and powerful family was shocked to the core upon hearing it. After all, the Bai family was one of the four great super-families of Yunhai, possessing terrifying power that no one dared to challenge. Yet now... they were wiped out just like that?
Some rumored that the Bai family had provoked someone they shouldn't have, leading to their eradication. Others whispered that the descendant of the Qin family had returned for revenge, and speculated whether the destruction of the Qin family five years ago was related to the Bai family... For a time, opinions were divided.
...
Qin Feng knew nothing of this, and even if he did, he had no interest in caring. Not long after leaving the Bai estate, he was about to return home when he received a call from Song Yuting.
"The Song Group is safe now, all thanks to you. I’d like to invite you to dinner tonight. Are you free?"
"Dinner again? You aren't hosting another 'Hongmen Banquet,' are you?" Qin Feng teased with a smile.
"You, you, you..." Song Yuting’s pretty face flushed, her tone shy and annoyed. "Hmph! If it weren't for my grandfather wanting to meet you, I wouldn't bother asking if you're coming or not."
"Fine, see you tomorrow night!" Qin Feng chuckled.
...
The following night, Qin Feng changed into fresh clothes and headed to the banquet at the address provided by Song Yuting. The Song family residence was a three-story mansion in the affluent West Harbor district.
At seven o'clock, Qin Feng arrived. Song Yuting had been waiting for a long time. However, the anxiety on her face revealed her inner unease, as if something serious had happened.
Following her into the living room, a lavish dinner was already prepared, but there was no sign of Old Master Song. The household servants were rushing in and out, looking very anxious.
"What happened?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.
Song Yuting sighed softly, a look of apology on her face. "I'm sorry. Grandfather is in poor health, but when he heard you were coming, he insisted on hosting this dinner. But not long after preparations began, he fainted again. It seems he needs to be taken to the hospital."
Qin Feng felt that his timing was poor. Suddenly, a sarcastic voice drifted from behind him.
"Song Yuting, you are really out of line. Grandfather is this sick, yet you still bring some random outsider into the house? What if he carries some kind of germs?"
A young man walked in, looking displeased. It was Song Qing, Song Yuting’s cousin. Behind him followed an elderly man with a goatee, wearing a green robe and carrying a medicine chest.
"Song Qing, what are you saying?" Song Yuting frowned, displeased. "Qin Feng is not an outsider; he is a benefactor of the Song family, and Grandfather invited him personally."
"Hmph." Song Qing sneered. "Grandfather fell ill precisely because he insisted on this dinner. Benefactor? More like a jinx!"
"Enough." Song Yuting scolded, "Are you showing this hostility only because he helped me win the bet, and your own schemes failed?"
"You... you’re talking nonsense!" Song Qing, his secret exposed, turned red with anger. "Forget it... I don't have time to argue with you! This is the master of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Yunhai that I specifically invited, Shen Sanqian! I am bringing him to treat Grandfather; you can just stay here and flirt with this brat!"
"Move aside!!"
Looking at the old man behind Song Qing, Song Yuting was surprised: "So this is the divine doctor Shen Sanqian? I didn't expect you to be able to invite him..."
Looking at the white-robed old man beside Song Qing, Qin Feng watched with great interest.
"Hmph! Doctor Shen is a famous master of TCM in Yunhai; it took a lot of effort to invite him. Whether you can keep your position once Grandfather wakes up is a different matter!"
Seeing that Song Qing still had malicious intentions, Song Yuting felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't be bothered to argue further. Subsequently, the group entered the room. Qin Feng followed, wanting to see what was going on.
In the room, the white-haired Old Master Song lay on the bed, his face pale and his breathing weak. He had already fallen into a coma.
"Old Master Song's illness did not happen overnight; it is now very dangerous. Fortunately, you have invited me!" After examining him, the divine doctor Shen confidently wrote out a prescription. He had the medicine prepared, crushed, and dissolved in water. Stroking his beard, he said arrogantly, "As long as he drinks this, I guarantee he will be cured!"
"Great!" Song Qing urged, "What are we waiting for? Quickly... feed it to Grandfather!"
To him, as long as his grandfather woke up, he could show his filial piety and claim some credit for the rescue, even if his cousin had secured the investment from Wolong Bank. He couldn't let his cousin have all the benefits.
Song Yuting didn't think that far ahead. She had been raised by her grandfather and was closest to him; she only hoped the divine doctor could save him.
Just as the medicine was about to be fed to Old Master Song, Qin Feng suddenly spoke up—
"Wait! If this medicine is fed to him, Old Master Song will truly be beyond saving!"
